The imperial palace of Xiling Kingdom is very large, and the terrain is very complicated, Ximen Yuqing took Lin Wan through a forest, and went up dozens of steps, and came to a large platform that covers a very wide area.

The entire platform is paved with marble, and on both sides of the platform is a relatively gentle slope, and the grass on the slope is verdant and well-manicured. There is a high platform about one zhang high in front of it, which is made of a whole piece of bluestone, which is smooth and magnificent, and it is ingenious.

Lin Wan has already seen that this is an open-air stage, fan-shaped, similar to the famous music stage in Nanjing.

The most rare thing is that the whole stage is taken out of the mountain, with hillsides on three sides, growing straight pines and cypresses, and maintaining the original appearance of the mountain, the whole design is natural. If you don't go up the stairs, you can see such a strange place from a distance.

Lin Wan suddenly felt that if anyone wanted to find a place to hide in the palace of Xiling Kingdom, it would not be easy to find.

Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's surprised eyes, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "This is the Bright Valley of our Xiling Kingdom, the place where the longest sunshine hours every day in the palace, and the brightest place under the moonlight. More than a month later, the feast of choosing a concubine was held here. ”

Lin Wan listened to Ximen Yuqing's introduction while observing the surrounding environment. When he turned his head to look, he saw the fiery red sun shining on his face. Hurriedly squinted his eyes, turned around, and looked at his elongated reflection, as well as the shadow of Ximen Yuqing beside him, slender and elegant, like a fairy, free and illusory.

Seeing that Lin Wan was stunned when she looked at the shadows of the two of them, Ximen Yuqing couldn't help but move in her heart, and quietly moved closer to her side.

The shadows of the two gradually came close together, so intimate, so ambiguous.

Lin Wan was startled, suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Ximen Yuqing, and saw that he was standing behind him, watching the shadows of the two adjust his position and movements. The shadows of the two became closer and closer, as if they were hugging each other tightly, and the man was kissing the woman's forehead.

Ximen Yuqingzheng was tired of this, but suddenly found that Lin Wanzheng was frowning and looking at him, couldn't help but smile, touched his nose, stepped forward, and stood beside Lin Wan.

Lin Wan looked up at the mountains and woods in the distance, changed the topic casually, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ximen, I think your palace is built on a mountain, and the army cannot attack on a large scale, and it is indeed very safe from a military point of view." However, it is easy to hide in this mountain, and if there is an assassin hiding nearby, it is not easy to find it, and I think that wherever I speak, I may be watched and overheard, and I don't feel safe at all. ”

Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "I have 30,000 personal soldiers, all of whom are hidden on this mountain, and if they find any suspicious people and things, they will use our unique way to warn them." So, no one dares to play any tricks in my place. This is why I dared to leave Xiling Kingdom for so long, and the King of Qi controlled the military power of the entire imperial city, and even Xu Nuo persuaded my father that I was helpless. ”

Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing in surprise, then turned his eyes to look at the nearby hillside, and carefully searched the woods for the location of those pro-soldiers, but found nothing. Lin Wan gave up looking, nodded slightly, and said, "Then I'll rest assured, but you are not allowed to let people spy on my Xinuan Garden, I don't like to be watched by others in whatever I do." ”

Ximen Yuqing smiled and nodded, and said: "Of course, I won't let people disturb you, the back garden was originally a forbidden place in the palace, and even my own soldiers can't go in and out at will." Except for the guards in the back garden, only me, Shangguanyun, Jiang Hai, Xinhe, and Xinhu, and the five of us can enter and exit at any time. And Xinuan Garden, I gave another order, except for me and you, as well as the people around you, only Shangguan Yun can enter. You just came today, I didn't worry, so I asked Jiang Hai to take a look, but he didn't enter the Xinuan Pavilion, but stayed outside. If you don't like it, I won't let him go again in the future. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Withdraw all your people to the west gate of the back garden, and enter the west gate, which is my place, except for Yun'er, no one can come in without my permission." ”

Ximenyu nodded briskly and responded: "Okay, the warmth, warmth, fragrance, and sleeves around you are all good at martial arts, and their martial arts are not under Qingtong, so I am still quite relieved." ”

Lin Wan really wanted to add another sentence later, including you. However, Lin Wan is not stupid, and it is of course impossible to let Ximen Yuqing's people stop Ximen Yuqing outside. Therefore, she can only let her people guard her Xinuan Pavilion.

Ximen Yuqing took Lin Wan around the Bright Valley, continued to walk up the mountain, and walked about another cup of tea to the front of a huge palace complex.

There were nearly a hundred guards wearing armor at the entrance, and when they saw Ximen Yuqing coming with a woman, they bowed neatly, half-bowed, lowered their heads, and respectfully waited for Ximen Yuqing and Lin Wan to pass in front of them.

Entering the palace gate, you will see a very large square, opposite the square is a tall palace, majestic and solemn, at a glance it is the court hall of Xiling Kingdom, it is the place where the emperor and hundreds of officials discuss politics.

Ximen Yuqing pointed to the gate on the right side of the square and introduced: "There is a harem over there, where my father's concubines and daughters live. Then, he pointed to the gate on the left and said, "My palace is there, and now there is no one living in the palace except my palace." I originally wanted to arrange for you to live next to the palace, but I was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so I opened up a separate place for you in the back garden. ”

Lin Wan nodded and said gratefully: "Brother Ximen, thank you for understanding me so well and taking care of me so hard, I really like Xinuan Garden." I didn't see it as new at all, and I thought it was already there. ”

Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Originally, the place where the Xinuan Garden was located was also in the back garden. I just built a west gate in the back garden to separate the area. Since I returned to the palace two months ago, I have ordered someone to start the construction of the West Warm Garden, and later I have people decorate and arrange it according to your preferences and habits. ”

Lin Wan was moved in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he smiled and nodded, didn't say anything more, and slowly followed Ximen Yuqing to the gate on the left.
