Chapter 281: Visiting the Western Winter Palace
Qixi returned to [Qiyuan Mansion] after touching a gray nose, and found that there was a conversation in his mansion, which was Shen Tu Zhu and Qingfeng.
How did they get here?
Tanabata approached the main hall little by little, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to the content of the conversation inside.
"Lord, he has rejected you several times, why don't you just help his son succeed to the throne and save him?" Qingfeng asked.
There was still a shadow standing next to Qingfeng, because she was uncomfortable with something, and since she was brought back by Qingfeng to report the information, she didn't talk much all day.
"Although he is old, he has great prestige in the Western Winter Kingdom and even in the Bafang. That prince, although he has some brains, is embarrassed by the big responsibility. ”
Qingfeng nodded as if he didn't seem to be there, and asked again: "Then you saved the old emperor, how can you be sure that he will definitely listen to you?"
This question is exactly what I'm curious about. Tanabata thought to himself.
"This seat replaced his old, decayed, arrested, heart with a 'mechanical heart' so that he could get his heart back to life. Shen Tu Xuan said as he looked at Qingfeng proudly and said, "And the 'mechanical heart' that has been improved and developed by this seat has the functions of 'listening' and 'controlling' the user's inner thoughts. ”
After hearing this, Qingfeng showed a 'so so' expression to Shen Tuzhu, and exclaimed: "The Lord is clever. ”
Qingfeng praised Shen Tu everywhere, and no matter how little she said, she had to express it.
"In this way, the Lord can control the old emperor's mind and let the Western Winter Kingdom be captured. Congratulations, Lord. Shadow said.
Qixi had already arrived outside the gate of the main hall, and I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart: I didn't expect the shadow to be there!
Shen Tuxu's eyes didn't move, and the footsteps of Qixi outside the hall mixed with the sound of heartbeat penetrated his ears.
"Get in!" said Shen Tu angrily.
Seeing this, Qingfeng hurriedly looked in the direction of the door, and Tanabata gently pushed the door in. He's eavesdropping outside?
When I entered the door on Qixi Festival, I saw Shen Tuzhu sitting on the upper seat, and the breeze and shadow were on the side. Shen Tu Xu's expression was a little ugly, he hated eavesdropping people the most.
"Tanabata see the Lord. Qixi knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Shen Tu didn't bother to raise his eyelids, only looked at one of his fingers, and didn't know what he was looking at, and said, "You, why are you eavesdropping outside the hall?"
"Tanabata damn it! I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just came back from the palace, and it just so happened..."
"You know what to do, right?"
"Please rest assured, the Lord will not reveal half a word to anyone after the death of Tanabata. ”
Shen Tu Zhu listened to Qixi's assurance, then raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "Come back from the palace, tell me, what is the situation in the palace?"
In fact, every thought in his heart from the moment he woke up, Shen Tu Xuan clearly received it. How could he not understand the situation in the palace? This question is also to see if Qixi will answer him without reservation.
"Back to the Lord, the palace ......" Qixi really began to explain what he saw and knew in 1510.
……
At this time, in the Xidong Palace, Puyang Jing and Lin Ling had already followed the fourth prince and the third princess Zhen Rou around the palace twice.
Of course, in the eyes of Puyang Jing and Lin Ling, the palace in Xidong is also magnificent, but they always feel that it is not as grand as the Nanxia Palace. The Xidong Palace is like a 'pyramid', with three floors above and three floors below, in fact, there are nine floors in total. Each floor is as if it were on the ground, so you don't feel very high and nervous when you stand on it.
I don't know if it's because I'm too tired or because my skirt is too long, Lin Ling once fell on the way to climb the stairs. That fall hurt a lot, and the palms of my hands were bruised. But when Lin Ling got up and saw that the spar bracelets on his hands were intact, he pretended to be okay and continued to climb up.
Probably for the sake of Puyang Jing and Lin Ling's safety, when they visited the palace, there were not many palace maids, eunuchs, princesses, concubines and the like. It's like a modern big star goes somewhere, and that place is locked down.
However, to be honest, the palace of the Western Winter Kingdom is really unique and has a very different style! First of all, his shape and design are a major feature.
There are no more exotic flowers and plants here, only all kinds of strange but beautiful buildings. However, this is a desert, where did they find so many stones to build this 'pyramid' palace?
The old emperor received Pu Yangjing and Lin Ling on the second floor, and now, they have reached the top of the 'pyramid', the ninth floor.
Standing on the peak of the ninth layer and looking down on the entire Western Winter Kingdom, it is really beautiful. However, climbing the stairs layer by layer, Lin Ling was already tired and panting, where was he still in the mood to enjoy the scenery?
"It's not... This... It's so high, and without an elevator, you're really going to be tired! All year round... How many times have you climbed up?" Lin Ling gasped, propped her hands on her thighs, and asked as if she was complaining.
"Uh...'elevator'? what's that?" the fourth prince said with an embarrassed smile: "There are palace maids and eunuchs on each floor who are specially cleaned, and we will all work lightly, so it is not difficult to come up." ”
"What a strange name, I've never heard of it before!" asked Yan Rou strangely, looking at Pu Yangjing by the way, thinking that he would know.
"This king has never heard of this. Pu Yangjing also looked at Lin Ling with a blank face, and was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Imperial sister, what is this 'elevator'?"
Lin Ling wiped the sweat from her forehead, and accidentally said a modern term.
"This 'elevator' is... Something that allows us to get from one floor to the other floors quickly without having to climb stairs. It's very convenient..."Lin Ling explained, looking at the ignorant expressions of the three ancient people, and finally gave up explaining: "Alas, forget it, you can't understand it." ”
"The eldest princess knows so much, and Rou'er is envious to death. Yan Rou showed an expression of envy, but in her heart, she didn't know what she was planning, and she was absent-minded throughout the whole process.
Yan Ling seemed to understand a little, but he didn't seem to understand anything, and asked Lin Ling: "It sounds very convenient." In fact, every time my father came up to the second floor or above, the guards carried him up with footsteps. When you think about it, it's a lot of inconvenience. I don't know how this 'elevator' was built? Another day, I will build an 'elevator' in the palace as my father proposed. ”
Lin Ling stood at the edge of the ninth floor and looked down, waved his hand with his back to Zhen Ling, and said, "Forget it!" You don't even have electricity here, so even if you build an 'elevator', what's the use?"
"I see. With a sudden realization, he turned his head to look at Puyang Jing and said, "Lord Wang, I can't imagine that there are such strange things in Nanxia, it's really admirable!"
Yan Yan admired Pu Yangjing for a while, but he didn't know that Pu Yangjing was embarrassed in his heart. Where is there such a thing as an 'elevator' in Nanxia, if it weren't for what his imperial sister said today, he Puyang Jing would have never heard of. However, at this time, Yan Yan was admiring the Southern Xia Kingdom, and he couldn't deny that he didn't.
How could this little imperial sister know so many strange things? If she wasn't from Southern Xia, what country would she be? But looking at all directions, she had never heard of such a thing?
"What a beautiful desert! What a beautiful palace..."Lin Ling said with open arms, standing by the fence, as if letting herself go.
The fence on the edge of the ninth floor, like the fence on the rooftop of a modern high-rise building, is made of stone, but it is also very dangerous.
"Imperial sister, don't go to the side anymore. Danger, be careful to fall. Pu Yangjing said as he wanted to pull Lin Ling back from the fence.
