It is said that the Xuanqing Palace was used by the previous king to cultivate immortals. Later, the previous king died suddenly after failing to cultivate immortals, so this place was left unused. This generation of kings felt that it was not good to be so empty all the time, so they transformed it into a temporary residence similar to an inn but higher-end and more atmospheric than an inn, specially for those with status to live in when they visited the capital.
Although there are suspicions of waste utilization, the style is still really magnificent. Only the royal family can build palaces in the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. No matter how magnificent the lord's mansion is, it is not a palace, it can only be a mansion.
Compared with other palaces, Xuanqing Palace is more simple and quiet. There are no fancy buildings around, but three gardens of pine, bamboo and plum. The bricks and tiles seem to be old, and they should not have been renovated later, but they are well taken care of, and there is no sense of obsolete, but a heavy atmosphere of history. For those upper classes who have seen the golden bricks and green tiles, such a simple and dignified place has a special flavor.
The thin old man brought the four of us to the front of the main hall, and said to Bai Huang:
"The residences of the two are relatively far away. This old man will take Lord Baihuang to her residence first, and ask Lord Lide to wait here for a while."
Bai Huang frowned and said:
"What are you waiting for? Lide, you go and see with me first, and I'll go with you to pack your luggage, and go out to find something to eat together after we're done. I'm not interested in that dinner party. Those people can fool you It’s not for me, when I came here when I was a child, I ate a lot of things made in the palace, a piece of tofu has to go through eighteen processes, but after the eighteen processes, it’s still a piece of tofu, it’s not very tasty.”
The thin old man whispered:
"This, this is not in line with the rules..."
Bai Huang raised his eyebrows and said coldly:
"It's not in compliance with the rules? When did we visit the house and it's not in compliance with the rules? Are you going to imprison us city lords here?"
The old man hurriedly said:
"How dare you! Then...then invite Master Lide to follow."
The old man led the way, and the few of us walked through the long corridor. During the period, I also saw a few well-dressed people in the garden. They should be the city lords of other territories, but we don't know each other. Baihuang occasionally greets people. Alaiya and I treat it as Liu Grandma entered the Grand View Garden and pretended to look around the scenery together.
Baihuang's room is at the easternmost end of the third floor of the main hall, and it is quite a grand room. I guess that the luxury of this house probably depends on the strength of the territory. For a powerful territory like Yunhai, which ranks among the top ten, the royal family must also arrange a residence worthy of their status. The matching expensive furniture is much higher than the ones I used in Yuxi City. The row of well-trained maids standing at the door are all young and beautiful. .
Heji was carrying two large boxes, which were also placed in the house at this time. The old man smiled flatteringly and said:
"Lord Baihuang's room was chosen by His Majesty himself. He said that it is well lit, has a view, and is warm. The three meals a day are prepared and delivered by the chef in the palace himself. These maids are also dedicated Follow your instructions, and you can order anything you need at any time."
After finishing speaking, the old man peeked at Bai Huang's expression, but Bai Huang didn't show any clear joy, he just said:
"Oh. Got it. Where is Lid, take me to have a look."
I guess Wangdu must have never expected that Baihuang would go to Tianyue Mountain first before coming. After anyone has been to that place once, it is difficult to enjoy the comfortable environment now. Baihuang was unhappy, so I didn't say anything. The old man sweated a lot and took us to the eastmost room on the fourth floor.
At first I thought it would be a bad room, that's why the old man didn't want Bai Huang to come with him. However, when they got to the door of the room, they found that the inside was simply extremely luxurious. There are countless exquisite jade objects in the room, and the furniture that is difficult to see in the market is even more artistically placed together. In this era when glass has not yet become popular, the large translucent floor-to-ceiling windows are made of high-quality colored glaze. I really don't know where to find such a big one. The whole room gives me the feeling that it is really classy.
The color of gold and silver cannot be seen, but the value of any one is a hundred times that of gold and silver.
Bai Huang said in surprise:
"Yes Lid, you're doing well."
The old man also said:
"Then please hurry up and check in, Mr. Lide."
Alaiya dragged the box and was about to go in, but I stopped him by raising my hand. I looked at the old man and said with a smile:
"Not in a hurry."
I am very interested in pleasure, but what is happening now is unusual.
The old man put on a smiling face and asked:
"What's the matter? Isn't it well done somewhere? The old man will ask someone to change it right away."
I looked into his eyes for a moment, smiled, and said:
"No, it's all quite comprehensive. It's just that I don't understand the two ancient characters on the sign above my head, so I want to ask what you mean."
The old man touched his forehead and said:
"No, I don't know. It's just a brand, and it doesn't affect living."
I tilted my head and said:
"Oh. I seem to remember it again. I read it in some book... The word is 'Lingwu'."
The old man froze there.
I ignored him and continued:
"In other words, this is actually the residence of Lord Lingwu. I heard that Lord Lingwu is a bit of a clean freak. Someone once picked up her handkerchief and didn't hand it in. He kept it for himself and was ransacked by everyone. I was thinking, what if I If I live in it, I guess it won't be long before my head will be hung on the city gate. Yuxi City is just a small place, as long as Lord Lingwu says a word, I don't know how many people will use my head to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Actually, my People from small places are not worthy of such a high-end residence."
At this time, I turned my gaze back to the old man leading the way, and asked coldly:
"Who told you to do this?"
Bai Huang also realized the seriousness of the problem, frowning quietly, looking at the sign hanging on the door thoughtfully.
Most people don't know the ancient texts, but it happens that the words "spirit" and "wu" are often mentioned in magic. Last time when the little colorless slime helped Felita translate the ancient books, I was watching Read it, and write it down after reading too much.
The royal family obviously would not make such a low-level mistake, so there is only one possibility.
Here, someone wants me to die.
The old man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he didn't know what to say.
Alayya put down the suitcase, and instead of entering the room, she put one hand on the sword. Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, a voice came:
"It's me. What, do you have an opinion?"
I turned my head and saw three people standing on the other side of the corridor. I didn't know the two next to them, but I recognized the one in the middle. No way, my own people.
My elder brother Li Yi said to me with a sneer on his face:
"Long time no see, Lord City Master Lide."
