Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

The luncheon was held in Zhantai Palace.

After walking through a long wooden corridor for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at a hall. The entire hall was several thousand square meters. There was a long round table in the middle, with people sitting around it in a circle. It was estimated that more than a hundred people could sit around it.

There was a gap in the middle of the round table, where more than twenty waiters, all dressed in maid uniforms, stood, responsible for serving the guests.

There are also diligent service staff walking around in the hall, constantly serving dishes from the kitchen.

At this time, the table was already filled with delicious food.

"Wow, quite impressive."

Xu Qianrou was used to big scenes, but had never seen such a dining ceremony, which was even more exaggerated than the emperor's imperial kitchen.

"Yes." Xu Zhihui also felt the same way.

Lan Ying said to her, "It's been a long time since we've seen such a scene. I've only seen it a few times. Normally, we're no different from an ordinary company. Employees go to the company cafeteria to eat after get off work. Today is a little special."

He Zhijing said: "Your employee restaurant is definitely better than ours."

Lan Ying smiled and said, "About the same."

Everyone was guided to their seats and the waiter prepared high chairs for the children.

After everyone sat down, there were still many empty seats at the big round table.

The lunch lasted for more than an hour. There was so much food on the table that Xu Zhihui felt full after a while and felt like there were still some dishes she hadn't eaten.

Feng Tutu and Ran Xiaoque are both big foodies and enjoyed their meal very much.

After lunch, everyone moved into the rows of bedrooms in the inner palace courtyard.

Lan Ying asked everyone to take a lunch break, and around three o'clock, everyone went to the Sifangtai in the back mountain to watch the brothers' group's competition.

After a short rest, Gao Qianyu prepared to take Kong Ling and Han Jinfeng to meet Queen Yan.

At this time, Shangguan Jing came.

She is Queen Yan's close bodyguard, so she has always been in Queen Yan's Mingyue Palace.

There was a four-seater carriage parked outside the door. It looked like the carriage used by dignitaries in the imperial city, and it had a coachman.

The horse was a tall white horse that looked energetic and strong.

The driver was a young and beautiful female official.

Shangguan Jing clasped his fists and bowed to Kong Ling and Han Jinfeng, saying, "Thank you for taking the trip."

"The palace where Queen Yan lives is on the hillside behind. You have to climb a small slope. It's about five kilometers away from here. People in the palace usually travel by carriage."

Han Jinfeng looked at the carriage and said with a smile: "It's really interesting. This carriage is also very gorgeous."

Jiangshan Meili is the most technologically advanced company on Blue Star, and it is a high-tech company. However, the headquarters retains the traditional way of travel, which is not inconsistent with the surrounding palace buildings and environment.

Everyone discovered it as soon as they entered this place.

Shangguan Jing explained: "Here at Jiangshan Meili headquarters, all lifestyles are traditional. But that's just the headquarters. The branches outside use the most modern way."

Han Jinfeng nodded in agreement. This model was consistent with the reputation of Jiang the Emperor of America and Yan the Queen, so everything made sense.

Kong Ling said: "It's good."

Shangguan Jing invites you two to get in the carriage.

"please."

The beautiful female coachman put down the pedal and opened the door curtain, and Kong Ling and Han Jinfeng got into the carriage. Shangguan Jing also got in, and the three of them sat together.

Gao Qianyu didn't go up.

After sitting down, the female coachman shouted "Gee", and the big white horse raised its hooves and started walking with a thumping sound, driving inside the palace wall.

The carriage was not moving very fast and was very stable. Kong Ling and Han Jinfeng sat in it without any shaking at all. It was obvious that the horses were very well-trained.

Shangguan Jing opened the curtains and hung them on the hooks so that people in the car could see the scenery outside.

The carriage passed through a palace complex and out the back door was a mountain with lush greenery. There was a clean and smooth stone road with small woods on both sides.

The small stone road is big enough for two carriages to run side by side. It leads to the foot of the mountain, then spirals up and extends to the mountainside.

Han Jinfeng looked up and saw two palace complexes on the mountainside. They did not look very grand and were surrounded by mountains and green trees.

One is large and mainly red, while the other is small and mainly green. They are very beautiful from a distance, and the tiles on the roof sparkle in the sun.

Shangguan Jing said: "There are two palaces up there. The red one is called 'Meili Palace' and is the residence of Emperor Jiang and Emperor Meili. The green one is called 'Mingyue Palace' and is Queen Yan's. After Emperor Jiang and Emperor Meili left, Meili Palace has been empty."

Han Jinfeng said: "The environment here is really nice."

As the carriage was traveling on the winding rocky road, the birds could be heard chirping around. These birds actually flew around the carriage and refused to leave, some perched on the top of the carriage, and some even perched on the back of the white horse.

The female driver was used to it and stopped chasing the birds away, and they gradually gathered in greater numbers.

Kong Ling asked, "How is Queen Yan doing today?"

Shangguan Jing looked worried and answered, "When I came out the day before yesterday, Queen Yan was still awake for a while. According to the attendant, she has been completely asleep since yesterday and has not woken up for a moment."

Kong Ling comforted her: "Don't worry, she will definitely wake up."

Shangguan Jing felt relieved after hearing this. Since Madam Kongque said so, she must have a way. She asked happily, "Can Madam Kongque wake her up?"

"Not necessarily." Kong Ling shook his head.

She added: "Don't worry, if I can't wake her up, someone else will be able to."

Kong Ling's intuition told her that all this seemed to be arranged, and the person who would rescue Queen Yan would definitely be Xu Zhihui.

About half an hour later, the leisurely carriage finally reached the middle of the mountain. There were many guards guarding the mountain pass. They were members of the inner court guard.

Shangguan Jing waved to the guards, and the guards bowed to her together. The carriage drove straight in and finally stopped in front of the Mingyue Palace.

Three men got off the carriage.

The Mingyue Palace is a wooden structure with a wooden floor. It is gorgeous overall, but not luxurious or extravagant. It is not very large and has a sense of beauty that returns to simplicity.

The three of them walked in up the wooden steps. Four inner court maids were waiting at the door. They were barefoot and led the three people in. The whole palace was unusually quiet.

The group took many turns, passed through many doors, and finally arrived at Queen Yan's bedroom.

It is about six or seven hundred square meters in size, with gauze curtains everywhere and an incense burner every ten meters with faint fragrance wafting from the burner. All the windows inside are open, so the light is very bright, accompanied by a breeze blowing in from the windows.

The huge bedroom could be seen from beginning to end. There was nothing else in it except an outer bedroom with a light curtain hanging on it. Inside the outer bedroom was a large bed, also covered with a light veil.

Kong Ling and Han Jinfeng saw at first glance a beautiful woman lying on the bed. She was dressed in white, and even though she was lying down, her graceful figure could be seen.

Two maids in white were standing by the outer bedroom door. When they saw Shangguan Jing coming, they bowed to her.

Shangguan Jing waved her hand, signaling them to go out.

Afterwards, Shangguan Jing and two other people were the only ones left in the entire palace.

Shangguan Jing opened the outer bedroom door and went in. There was only a big bed inside, without even a table or chair. When she came to the bed, Shangguan Jing hung up the veil of the bed, and Queen Yan's face was completely revealed.

The bed was very big, and Queen Yan looked very petite sleeping in the middle, but in fact she was not petite.

Her face was extremely beautiful, her skin was white as jade, her eyes were closed, and she lay quietly. Her black hair was neatly laid on the bed, her hands were crossed on her lower abdomen, revealing a pair of extremely beautiful jade feet.

She is simply a most flawless jade carving, with every detail carved so perfectly that no further modification can be added.

Her complexion looked healthy, white with a rosy glow, and if she hadn't been unconscious, you wouldn't have known she was sick.

Shangguan Jing wanted to give it a try, so she called out softly twice: "Queen, Queen, I'm Jing'er, can you hear me?"

The beauty on the bed didn't respond at all.
