Zhao Ling followed the little eunuch all the way through the many halls in the outer section and entered the inner hall. Different from the majestic atmosphere of the outer hall, the halls of the inner hall were exquisite, elegant and magnificent.
The little eunuch walked in front of her at a fast pace, and Zhao Ling struggled to follow behind, complaining to herself. This palace had nothing to do with such a large building. From the gate to this place now, her legs were about to break. Why hadn't they arrived there yet?
After walking for a long time, she finally saw the little eunuch stopped in front of a temple, and bowed to a eunuch standing at the door of the temple and said, "Eunuch, Miss Zhao is here."
Zhao Ling looked up, and the name of the hall read "Funing Hall". Looking at it again, the eunuch turned out to be Eunuch Li who came to Suzhou to announce the emperor's decree.
Eunuch Li waited anxiously at the entrance of the hall. Seeing that Zhao Ling had arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and saluted, "Miss Zhao, please come in."
Looking at Eunuch Li, she could tell he seemed very anxious. What happened? Zhao Ling was really suspicious. She quickly walked into the Funing Hall with Eunuch Li, and when she looked up, a whole room of handsome men and beauties turned around to look at her, making her instantly dumbfounded.
What was going on now? Did they go to the wrong place? So many handsome men and beauties all looking at her, making Zhao Ling feel a little chilly even with her self-confessed psychological endurance. It was so dazzling!
She could only helplessly turn her head and ask Eunuch Li. "Eunuch Li, can you tell me first, what exactly is this place?"
Li Gonggong wanted to answer aloud, but suddenly a delicate and clear, domineering voice came: "Bold, you won't kneel when you see my mother and brothers?"
What? Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment. Mother? Royal brothers? Didn't the emperor want to see her? How did he become 'mother and brothers'?
Her complexion did not change, and she glanced at everyone in the room one by one with calm eyes, and found out that a pretty and lovely girl in beautiful royal clothes was staring at her angrily. It must be the woman who scolded her just now.
Well, let's start with you.
Zhao Ling saluted the girl in royal clothes and said respectfully, "Please, forgive my stupidity. I didn't know that the princess is here. What should I call her?"
Since the royals were called the queen mother and the emperor's brother, it should be the princess.
"Hmph." The girl in the Chinese costume said with her nostrils turned to the sky, "Eunuch Li, come and tell her."
After being instructed, Eunuch Li quickly introduced everyone present to Zhao Ling one by one, but he secretly complained in his heart.
On the way back to the palace, Lord Xuan greeted the eldest Zhao family, and took care of her as if he had already identified her as Princess Xuan. Now, he could only beg this unruly and willful Princess Yaohua not to go too far. If it annoyed Lord Xuan, it would not be a fun thing.
Under the guidance of Eunuch Li, Zhao Ling finally understood the identities of handsome men and women in this room.
The woman who looked a little older, dressed in a gorgeous palace attire, was naturally the queen of Duanjing, who was dignified and solemn. She really had the demeanor of the mother.
Next to her was a beautiful and expressionless young woman who was the most favored concubine Li Fei of Emperor Ming. White jasmine smoked soft gauze, with a lake blue mopping plum blossom pleated skirt, set off her mood, as beautiful as a fairy. Immediately, Zhao Ling thought of a poem.
"The snow river is clear and clear water,
and the empty valley is quiet.
It's not unreasonable to be the emperor's favorite concubine."
The arrogant girl in Chinese clothes just now was Princess Yaohua, and the other, who was about the same age but calmer and quieter, was Princess Qionghua, both of whom were beautiful and charming girls.
Then there were several imperial brothers around Princess Yaohua. The first prince Meng Tianluo was titled King Luo, the third prince Meng Tianli was titled King Kuang, and the seventh prince Meng Tianyan had no titles yet.
Zhao Ling swiftly glanced at it, but didn't look at it for too long. Anyway, he was a handsome man with handsome features and a long body. The royal family's genes were generally very good, and the princes, princesses, and the grand children would naturally be exceptional.
There were seven princes as the sons of Emperor Ming, but for some reason, four of them were not in presence. And the only fourth prince, Meng Tianlin, who didn't show up, should be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison now.
This room was full of human dragons and phoenixes from the Dasheng Dynasty, but she saw them all at once.
Zhao Ling didn't bother to kneel down to them one by one, and knelt directly in the middle of the hall, bowing her eyebrows to her eyes. "Zhao Ling, see the Empress Empress, Concubine Li, His Royal Highness King Luo, His Royal Highness King Kuang, the Seventh Prince, Princess Yaohua, Princess Qionghua."
Zhao Ling finished speaking in one breath, and secretly adjusted her breathing. Fortunately, her lung capacity was relatively large.
"Puchi..."
A light chuckle sounded in the hall, but Zhao Ling didn't know which prince did, and she pretended not to hear. Still maintaining the same kneeling posture, she waited for the Empress to make a sound and call her up.
The queen was the most respected in this room, and she was the one who was qualified to get her up.
