Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 213 He Dingbei, She Traveled Far Away

It was neither soft nor hard, neither high nor low, loose nor crowded. I leaned back tentatively, my back fitting the fluttering curve of the royal flag. Some of the raised patterns just happened to rest on the acupuncture points on my back, making it very comfortable to sit on for a long time.

Thinking that the entire hall, especially this chair, was tailor-made for him by Xin Baoer, Chu Xingchen's heart felt as warm and comfortable as if it was soaked in warm water.

A group of officials from the palace lined up in an orderly queue and stood in two rows on both sides of the palace. Many of them had been here before, but the amazement in their eyes remained the same, because every time they came in, they had a completely different experience from the last time, which made them more convinced of the girl whose voice was always neither too high nor too low, but gentle and strong.

They had discussed it privately, wondering where the prince had found such a good woman, but it was a pity that she could only live in the back house as a concubine. They all felt sorry for her.

Also equally amazed were the representatives of the aristocratic families who came in later and thought they were superior to others.

As their frozen bodies slowly warmed up, their blood also began to boil. The hall, which looked ordinary from the outside and only had the main entrance as a point of interest, was actually a different world inside.

Here they learned for the first time that not only gold, silver and jade articles could represent wealth, and not only carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes could represent majesty.

On the contrary, in this hall, apart from the leather on the wall that was divided into patterns and some precious ornaments, there were no valuable items. All the building materials were just ordinary wood and stone. However, it was these ordinary things that made them feel refreshed and shocked.

Have you ever seen a wall made of such a large piece of glass? Have you ever seen such a strange folding blind? Once the store door is closed and the wooden folding curtain is opened, the natural light shines in unhindered, and the entire hall is illuminated without the need for candlelight.

Have you ever seen a portrait that looks like a real person standing in front of you? The sages and scholars behind the glass frames on the pillars look at the officials and junior officials in the store with dignity or kindness. Do you still have the nerve to be lazy and not make progress?

Have you ever felt the feeling of stepping on mountains and rivers? The entire palace, from the entrance to the ground under the throne, is a sand table, carefully carved out of the regional topography of the Chu Dynasty.

Xin Baoer put a lot of thought and effort into this floor sand table. If there was no tempered glass in that era, she would have wanted to pave the entire floor directly.

Although it is divided into pieces for the convenience of walking, it looks very grand and unique because no one has done it before. Everyone wants to stand on it and show off, but they dare not, because this is the special passage designed by Xin Baoer for Chu Xingchen.

Chu Xingchen sat at the top, taking in the entire view of the room, including the expressions of the representatives of the big families. The busyness and frustration of the past few days were completely released at this moment, and he felt light and floating.

Suddenly I miss his little girl so much!

Thinking of Xin Baoer who had worked hard for him, he suddenly felt anxious to end the ceremony and felt a little regretful that he could not share such an important moment with the most important person.

What is she doing now?

What was Xin Baoer doing? Xin Baoer mingled with the people outside the gate, quietly watched the entire memorial ceremony, and then got on a very inconspicuous carriage without hesitation. At this time, he was already ten miles out of the city.

Since Xin Baoer got on the carriage, she has been closing her eyes to rest. She doesn't want Zhao Xian to see the reluctance and confusion in her eyes.

Wei Yu and Qin Chu were also traveling together. Both of them disguised themselves as men and followed the carriage on horseback. The driver was none other than the taciturn Yu Si.

The three women were all good at martial arts, with Qin Chu being the strongest among them, and having mastered superb skills. Therefore, no one else followed them. Except for the guards who stayed behind to take care of Mother Lin and the others, everyone had already left in batches and headed for their destination through their own channels.

Chu Xingchen, who was on the royal palace, after enjoying the shocked expressions of the crowd, gently knocked on the handrail. The crisp sound immediately spread throughout the hall like a silver bell.

Chu Xingchen himself was stunned. He lowered his head and looked carefully at the armrest, and found that there was a small mechanism where he knocked casually. It only took a little effort to make a sound. For a moment, he couldn't figure out the principle.

What surprised him was not this little design, but Xin Baoer's intentions. He didn't know that she understood him to such a subtle extent.

He had the habit of knocking on things when he was thinking about something or wanting to remind someone, but the chair under him didn't have much exposed wood, and the table in front of the throne was a bit far away and not suitable for knocking.

And she actually relied on her understanding of herself to place this inconspicuous little mechanism in the perfect place. He moved his body casually, and stretched out his hand to try it casually, and each time it landed on that point accurately.

She really has a plan for everything!

I wanted to see her more and more urgently.

The crisp sound drew the attention of everyone in the hall. They looked towards the source of the sound unconsciously. A young man was sitting on the tiger's back. He had a warm smile on his face and sat in a casual and elegant posture. Compared with the solemnity during the previous sacrifice, he seemed much more approachable.

Chu Xingchen didn't want to do that, but he couldn't help being in a good mood. It was the beginning of his great career, and he received such a sincere gift from his beloved. He had no reason to have a stern face!

At this time, Chu Xingchen was full of pride and high spirits. His fighting spirit seeped into the incense in the hall, and in turn affected the emotions of everyone.

They did not need anyone to remind or organize them. They knelt down and bowed spontaneously, shouting in unison: "Congratulations to King Dingbei, may your power reign supreme for thousands of years and unify the world."

"Congratulations to King Dingbei, may your power reign supreme for thousands of years and may he unify the world."

"Congratulations to King Dingbei, may your power reign supreme for thousands of years and may he unify the world."

Three shouts and three bows were truly inspiring. Chu Xingchen's gentle eyebrows and eyes were unconsciously filled with an alluring aura. In his excitement, he suddenly stood up, his whole body full of internal energy, his robes fluttering without wind, as if the savior had really come to the world, making people unconsciously submit.

At this moment, the representatives of the noble families were shocked and conflicted. They were assigned by their families and came with a mission. The families would not easily recognize a small and impoverished descendant of the royal family as the owner of this land.

All of them wanted to watch the fun and get some benefits from the new prince, but until now, after they all knelt down, no one had found a chance to say a few words of embarrassment.

After accepting the kneeling and demonstrating his own strength, Chu Xingchen sat back on the throne, looking at the representatives of various forces with different thoughts below with a comfortable look. Seeing their eyes rolling around and their restless looks, he felt more and more refreshed in his heart.

He winked at Wangchuan beside him, indicating that he could proceed to the next step.

"The worship is over, please move to the banquet hall." Wangchuan shouted to His Highness and the others.

As soon as Wang Chuan finished speaking, the reception official guided everyone to the banquet hall, reminding them as they walked: "The Dingbei Palace has prepared wine and food for you. Let's eat and chat while we discuss the great plan of building the North and strengthening the country and the people. You must show your courtesy and speak freely!"

The representatives of various forces were speechless, but also somewhat expectant. After all, they finally had a chance to speak. Otherwise, they would just be led by the nose all the way and wouldn't know how to explain to their families/masters when they return.

But will it really be as they wish?

The receiving official smiled cunningly and mysteriously, which made people feel creepy. They were always worried that they would be locked up in a small dark room at the same time and then sign a series of unequal treaties.

Their steps were getting slower and slower. Even if being slaughtered was what awaited them, they hoped that they would be the last one.

However, no matter how slowly you walk, there will be an end. Besides, the two halls are not far away. After all, the palace is not as big as imagined, and the buildings are very compact.

After exiting the side door of the palace and passing a warm corridor, you will reach the banquet hall. Although it is called a warm corridor, it is not a passage of ten meters. In order to prevent wind and snow, glass is installed on both sides. In summer, the glass is removed and it becomes a corridor for summer heat relief.
