Chapter 104: Didn't see the emperor, a very disappointed expression
After journeying for another quarter of an hour, they arrived at the gate to the palace. Chu Qing-Yan got out of the carriage, looked at the palace wall that towered majestically and couldn't help but sigh towards the Big Block of Ice. Having grown to this age, this was the first time she had seen such a high wall!
Xiao Xu's face blackened having heard that sigh, he lifted her by the collar and directly walked in to the palace.
How could Chu Qing-Yan have known he would change face so suddenly? Just now, that tenderness inside the carriage must have been because her vision was blurred!
After entering the imperial palace, there was a wide road paved by greenish black bricks. The entire road stretched forward, very long and wide. Every five steps was a guard, every ten steps was a small group of military soldiers on patrol. There weren't any flowers, plants or trees, there were only ice-cold armored people. Chu Qing-Yan took a glance at the inside of the imperial palace that was heavily guarded, and she secretly sighed in her heart. Sure enough, it was the most pivotal point in the nation, not even a housefly could fly in.
But very quickly she withdrew her gaze and admonished herself. Beginning from that moment she entered the palace gate, she must be very careful with her speech. So right now, she shouldn't glance all around. Big Block of Ice's ident.i.ty of coming from the royal family was already somewhat subtle. Now she could not bring him any trouble.
After crossing another similar public square area, they pa.s.sed another corridor and there was an eunuch waiting there to lead the way.
"Pays respect to His Highness Prince Ying." An old bearless eunuch bowed to Xiao Xu. Looking at the way he was dressed, it seemed he ought to be a court eunuch that had a bit of status.
"Eunuch Cao, troubled you for waiting." Xiao Xu said indifferently.
"Do not dare, do not dare." Eunuch Cao was all smiles as he turned his head to look toward Chu Qing-Yan and then asked. "This must be Chu family's Ninth Miss right? Looks really clever and adorable." He originally wanted to say that she and His Highness Prince Jin was a perfect match made in Heaven. But just looking at her height and age, no matter how good he was at saying flattering words, he still didn't dare to say these words.
