"Chapter 64: The Roman Palace"
The first love is to love yourself, and then the rest of the love will follow.
- Osho (Founder of Rajnesh Ashram)
After more than two hours of galloping, Bai Feng took his personal guards to the miraculous Aceni Royal City, which was boasted by the people of the Essini Kingdom; when Bai Feng saw this royal city with his own eyes, he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.
Although Bai Feng didn't have much expectation for the so-called Aceni Royal City, after the caravans and the people along the way, he still had a trace of expectation for the Aceni Royal City;
A city with a city wall height and appearance similar to that of an ordinary city in the Celestial Dragon Empire, and a city that is not even comparable to an ordinary county city, does not match the name of the royal city no matter how you look at it;
As one of the most powerful countries in the Tianlong Continent, the Tianlong Empire is known as the existence of the four major capitals of the continent along with the imperial capital of the Andriol Empire, the imperial capital of the Deman Kingdom, and the Holy Mountain of the Papal Kingdom.
Not to mention how holy and prosperous the holy mountain of the Holy See (that is, the Papal Kingdom) is, even if it is the imperial capital of the Deman Kingdom, which is at the bottom of the four major capitals, it is also the capital of the former Deman Empire, with beautiful landscapes and beautiful buildings in the city, and a population of no less than one million!
Compared with this kind of top-level capital city on the mainland, even the city of Rome at this stage is not enough, let alone the royal city of the Acenian Kingdom, and the capital cities of the principalities of the kingdoms after the four major capitals are also not small in scale, and the population will not be less than 500,000.
Bai Feng, who didn't know much about the situation in other countries, could he still not understand the situation of the Heavenly Dragon Empire? Except for the imperial capital, the cities of the Heavenly Dragon Empire were generally divided into four grades, namely provincial capitals, county seats, ordinary cities, and towns.
For example, ordinary cities can be divided into large cities with a population of not less than 100,000, medium cities with a population of 50,000 to 100,000, and small cities with a population of more than 50,000 based on the number of people and the size of the city.
Similar to the two levels of cities, the county and the provincial capital, their formation is not so much an increase in population and expansion of the size of the city as it is a geographical advantage, because both levels of cities are, needless to say, more populous and larger than the larger cities.
In the Heavenly Dragon Empire, even if it was a medium-sized city at best, the Essini King City was ruled by three provincial capitals, more than a dozen county towns, and nearly a hundred cities of various types, and Bai Feng, who had lived in the capital of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor for a few months, saw it, so he was naturally slightly disappointed.
Fortunately, Queen Boudicca, who learned of Bai Feng's arrival in advance, personally stood at the gate of the royal city with a team of queen guards wearing green armor and waited;
Looking at Bai Feng, who was wearing a white swordsman's regular uniform, sitting on a war horse, approaching him little by little, even her body became slightly trembling at Queen Boudicca, who Bai Feng had been thinking about for a long time, because of this familiar figure, she had been thinking about it for too long!
After Bai Feng came to Queen Boudicca's side and turned over and dismounted, the ruddy-faced Queen Boudicca's mouth opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she still took into account her identity and status, and greeted softly in her voice: "Are you back?"
"Well, I'm back. Bai Feng, who had a faint smile on his face, said in the same gentle tone: "After I come back this time, I will not leave here for at least half a year, if you want to see me, you can go to Rome City to find me at any time." ”
"I know. Queen Boudicca, whose eyes were obviously dark, said with a slight resentment: "I want to see you, don't you want to see me?"
"If I don't want to see you, how can I appear in front of your eyes?" Bai Feng, who met Queen Boudicca's resentful eyes, felt a little guilty in his heart, regardless of the surprised eyes of others, walked directly to her side, took her hand, and walked towards the palace in the city together.
Queen Boudicca, whose face was suddenly covered with red clouds, said shyly: "Bai Feng, this is a big court, you ...... You ......"
"What's wrong with the public?" Bai Feng, who smiled chicly, pulled Queen Boudicca, who didn't dare to look directly at him, and said domineeringly: "From the city of Rome to the kingdom of Aceni, where is not our territory? Soon, the people of the entire eastern region will be our people!"
"Hmm!" Hearing Bai Feng's domineering declaration, especially the use of the word 'we', Queen Boudicca, who was still shy, leaned her body towards Bai Feng's side, and held his arm tightly while being full of love.
The inexplicable relationship between Bai Feng and Queen Boudicca has long been an important topic of gossip between the people of Rome and the Essene Kingdom, and the barbarian people, when gossiping about their own king, do not have as many taboos as the civilized world.
For the barbarian people who worship the strong, Bai Feng, who is the supreme ruler of Rome, is a powerful man who is almost invincible in their eyes, and Queen Boudicca is a real heroine, no matter how you look at it, these two people are a team made in heaven, aren't they?
Therefore, when the confident Bai Feng led the shy Queen Boudicca to walk on the streets of the royal city of Aceni, the people of the royal city on both sides of the road did not have any doubt and shock in their eyes, but only sincere blessings and full of kindness.
It was not a long road, but Bai Feng and Queen Boudicca walked very slowly, the two held hands and held hands as if walking, and after coming to the royal city, Bai Feng asked Queen Boudicca: "This royal palace was built by Vipsani, right?"
"Well, I didn't want to build any royal palace, but the man sent by Vipsani insisted on building it. Queen Boudicca, who had not yet recovered from her happiness, replied obediently: "I can't resist them, so let them build it." ”
Looking at the typical Romanesque style palace in front of him, Bai Feng joked to Queen Boudicca: "I really didn't expect that there are still people in this world that our Queen Boudicca's can't resist?
"How can there be?" Queen Boudicca, whose expression became more and more twisted, looked up at Bai Feng who seemed to be smiling but not smiling embarrassedly, and then explained with a blushing face: "It was the Vipsani who sent someone to say that as long as this palace is built, you will come often in the future, so ...... I'm just ......"
"Don't listen to Vipsani. Bai Feng, who was funny in his heart, deliberately pretended to be serious, and said to Queen Boudicca, who had a tight face: "I am not here because of this palace, but because of ...... Here, there you are. ”
Looking blankly at Bai Feng's doting eyes looking at her, her heart was like a warm current flowing through Queen Boudicca, and her eyes instantly became rosy; at this moment, in Queen Boudicca's heart, she felt that everything was worth waiting for so long.
Without saying anything more, he took Queen Boudicca's hand and walked into the palace with his head held high under the gaze of two rows of palace guards at the gate of the palace, this Romanesque palace is not only the royal palace of the Acenian Kingdom, but also the home of Bai Feng and Queen Boudicca, which belongs only to them!
