Chapter 105 – The Ancestor’s Extravagance (1)
The Imperial Palace was the Emperor’s residence, so all the eunuchs and maids working there were cautious and conscientious. No matter how big the palace halls were, they swept it clean until not even a speck of dust could be seen, rarely leaving few places dirty.
However, Emperor Le Xuan understood that the Ancestor’s request about a clean place did not mean a place free of dust. His request carried a different meaning. To him, a clean place meant a place “clean” of anyone…
Fortunately, many palace halls empty of people could be easily found in the imperial palace, and Chong Wen Palace was the perfect place.
Emperor Le Xuan personally led the Ancestor and his procession, until they reached the gates of Chong Wen Palace where they all halted.
Ning Xuemo unconsciously stopped breathing. At last, she would be able to see the Ancestor’s true colors…
‘He would not keep letting people carry his sedan into the main hall, right?’
Rustle! The boys and girls next to the sedan flickered, and only their afterimages were left. They circled around the sedan, while throwing flowers.
The corner of Ning Xuemo’s lips twitched!
These people took out a roll of some unknown material similar to a sheer muslin and used it to cover the sedan in multiple layers.
The muslin was thin and nearly transparent, allowing the sunlight to pass through. Seven colors of light flashed. Inside those seven brilliant rays, a person could faintly be seen getting off the sedan…
Because the cloth acted as a screen, Ning Xuemo could not clearly see the appearance of that figure. She was only able to take a glimpse of his silhouette. He looked like an immortal daoist floating as he travelled to the main hall covered in the multicoloured sunlight.
After the layers of muslin were removed, the Ancestor’s figure could no longer be seen from the main hall entrance. Even the sedan disappeared without a trace.
All the youngsters from the procession circled the entrance, waiting to serve the Ancestor.
Ning Xuemo was speechless. ‘What the heck?’ She was busy half a day, only to catch a glimpse of his back?
‘How unlucky!’
