Chapter 2200: Chapter 2018: Once Through the Palace Gate, the Depths Are Like the Sea (Part 1)
"The palace is so vast, walking around it is exhausting."
"There’s the Phoenix Palanquin. If you find it tiring, you can use it to travel."
Xia Weibao blinked, "What’s a Phoenix Palanquin?"
"What we’re sitting in now is the Dragon Palanquin, yours is called the Phoenix Palanquin, and the officials use the Official Palanquin."
"Oh, so that’s what it is."
Xia Weibao looked at the six fine horses ahead, the carriage embellished with gold, silver, jade, gemstones, and pearls. The carriage was also engraved with dragon and phoenix motifs, displaying the regal and luxurious demeanor.
The grandeur is impressive, it has style, and it’s comfortable to sit in.
But every time going out needs such complex formality, plus a bunch of people following. How problematic.
"Too troublesome, going out to play with so many people tagging along. Thankfully, I know Qinggong, I can fly, so I won’t need the Phoenix Palanquin."
"Mm, suit yourself. If you get tired and can’t fly back, you can call me over to carry you back."
Xia Weibao’s face reddened, and she glared at him coquettishly, then turned to the attendants ahead with a flushed face. There were still people eavesdropping.
And those attendants coming back completely had no words left to say.
Your Majesty, you haven’t even crowned the Empress yet, pampering Her Majesty the Empress like this, is it really okay?
Never heard of anyone playing by flying around the palace. This is the Imperial Center, the most sacred and majestic place. Flying around, is it really appropriate?
It’s not dignified at all.
Moreover, if the Imperial Guards see it, wouldn’t they mistake Her Majesty the Empress for an assassin and arrest her!
Xia Weibao patted the cushion beneath her, "Is that Phoenix Palanquin one for everyone in the palace, or does every concubine in the Imperial Harem have one?"
Lu Hualiang, "..."
Phoenix Palanquin, Phoenix Palanquin, as the name suggests, only the Empress can sit in it.
This has never been heard of.
Thinking that she has always been wandering in Jianghu, indeed unaware of the things within the palace, it feels a bit sad.
With such a pure temperament, how can she survive in the Imperial Harem?
Raising his hand, he touched her hair, "I won’t let you be exposed to those dark sides. Remember what I said, no matter what happens in the future, I will unconditionally stand by your side."
Xia Weibao was a bit confused, saying these for no reason, could it be that his Imperial Harem is quite dark?
Suddenly thinking of something, her expression slightly changed, "You have many people in your Imperial Harem?"
"Three Palaces, Six Courts, and Seventy-two Concubines. I don’t know the exact number."
Xia Weibao’s face stiffened, and her heart was inexplicably stung.
"Are all of them your women?"
Lu Hualiang’s lips slowly curled up, so she’s jealous.
He flicked a finger on her forehead, "In name they are."
Xia Weibao slapped his hand away, turned to look out the window, and stopped talking.
Feeling suffocated, though she didn’t know where this feeling came from.
Her eyes reddened, and they instantly became moist.
Seeing her acting like this, Lu Hualiang panicked, "Why are you crying?"
"None of your business, go find your women."
Lu Hualiang chuckled, "Why would I find them?"
He doesn’t even know what those women look like.
Xia Weibao ignored him, turning to gaze out the window, all she could picture were images of him being intimate with other women. The more she thought, the angrier she became, "Stop the carriage!"
The guards hurriedly stopped the Dragon Palanquin, then realized, this voice is female, not His Majesty’s command.
Oh no, could beheadings occur!
"I want to leave the palace!"
Lu Hualiang had a headache, Empress, can’t you save him some face in public?
With so many ministers and guards, he can’t be coaxing a woman in front of all the officials, can he?
Where to put his face?
