The sky was lit up by golden clouds, half obscuring the sun. Allomantic rays of light enveloped the pavilions and pavilions. There was a hint of gold in the clouds, lying on the glazed roof tiles of the palace. The glazed roof tiles sparkled with an ethereal and magical lustre. The cold lustre brought with it a chill, reflecting nobility and brilliance.
The vermilion walls were towering, and the guards kept walking past them. They were imposing and grand. The dignified hall was arranged in a row, with rows upon rows of rows of different heights. From afar, one could see its majestic aura, making one's heart tremble. This was the Forbidden City, the place where the Emperor lived.
Yun Zihuang looked at this place in a daze. There was no tall building from her world, nor was there the reinforced concrete of her era, but it had brought her a shock she had never experienced before.
She had only seen such a large and beautiful building in her past movies and TV dramas.
Today, he was finally able to witness the legendary place with his own eyes, standing here from a distance to a close distance.
After getting off the carriage, she entered the vermilion palace gates. She gazed deeply at her surroundings. This was truly a place where supreme emperors lived.
The horse carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, got off the carriage and changed into a sedan chair, then walked into the dazzling palace.
The sedan chair stopped outside a palace. A palace maid reached out to help her down, and one of the court ladies greeted her gracefully. ”Greetings to the princess. The empress has been waiting for too long. Please come in, princess.”
She even pretended that her ankle was broken and she couldn't walk, because that way she wouldn't have to kneel to anyone.
”Aiya, has the princess recovered from her injury?”
She leaned weakly against the two palace maids by her side, not using any strength at all as she said weakly, ”That's right. What should we do now that we're meeting the empress?”
The palace maid sighed and said, ”It's been so long since I last thought about it. The princess's twisted leg has not recovered yet. Let's carry it in now.”
Someone brought a chair and she sat down on it. Two eunuchs came and carried her and the chair inside.
”I am meeting with the princess of Pingping.”
A long voice echoed through the palace as the eunuch carried her inside. In his memory, this should be the empress's quarters. As soon as the door opened, he smelled a strange, fragrant scent. She immediately activated her super function and analyzed if there was anything wrong with the smell. There was no other way. It was said that in a place like the harem, one could kill without blood being shed and eat without spitting out bones. Furthermore, before she came, her cheap dad had made up for it a lot. She had to be careful every step of the way.
”Zi Huang, you're here?”
The gentle voice of a woman entered her ears. On the bed, there was a dignified and beautiful woman. Her face was somewhat pale and she did not seem to be in high spirits as she leaned against the thick bedding and looked at her.
”Greetings, esteemed empress. It's inconvenient for Zi Huang to move her sprained ankle. Please forgive her.”
The Empress smiled and said, ”Put it next to my bed and closer to me. Zi Huang, you've never been polite to me since we're here. Is this how it is today?”
She pouted her lips. ”Last time, Big Brother Crown Prince accused this subject of lacking etiquette. Esteemed empress, are you really sick?”
