I opened the Ming Dynasty

I saw an official who was full of vigor and vitality. He finally stood upside down with great effort and was feeling very proud of himself. Suddenly, he felt an itchy nose, as if there were ten thousand small bugs making a fuss in his nose. Then he sneezed, "A-choo", and the smell of something came out. This was a serious incident. He lost his balance and fell down with a "thump"!

This fall was not a serious matter, but it also knocked down a large number of people nearby. The scene was extremely chaotic.

For a moment, the Golden Throne Hall was filled with all kinds of strange sounds. There was the heavy breathing, as if an old ox was pulling a broken cart; there were the constant complaints, like a group of bees buzzing in the ears; and there were the occasional sounds of people falling down, and the "crackling" sounds, like firecrackers.

Look at those officials again, their hats flew far away and no one knew where their shoes were thrown. The originally solemn and sacred Golden Throne Hall now seemed to have turned into a super funny stage, where this ridiculous farce was being performed!

And the empty dragon throne high above still witnessed it all in silence, as if telling of the unpredictable nature of imperial power and the majesty of the emperor who said what he meant and would do what he said!

As for the rest of us, me, Yueying, Lili, Chunhua, Gege, Feimei and Xiaoling, were named to go to the Yangxin Palace in the inner palace to see the emperor!

Looking at this chaotic scene, we felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, we found it extremely funny, but on the other hand, we felt helpless for these officials. My goodness, why are you so unlucky?

Afterwards, we hurried to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity to meet the mysterious and pretentious Emperor Zhu Di.

There were seven of us in our group, and we headed towards the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in a mighty procession, accompanied by a group of eunuchs, palace maids, and royal guards.

Along the way, the eunuchs' funny movements made us laugh. They bent their waists, took small steps, and always had a flattering smile on their faces, as if they were afraid of offending us. They fanned us and handed us water, and they were very busy. One of the eunuchs accidentally fell down while trying to hand me water. The funny look made me laugh out loud.

The palace maids were beautiful and charming. They wore gorgeous clothes, had exquisite hair buns, and walked with graceful manners!

They have a faint smile on their faces, which makes people feel like spring breeze when they see them!

One of the palace maids was exceptionally beautiful. Her bright eyes were like crescent moons and her skin was as smooth as cream.

Her every frown and smile is so charming that makes people's hearts flutter; her every move is so charming that people can't help but linger!

All of the Jinyiwei had their eyes wide open and their expressions dazed. They kept staring at the palace maids and kept swallowing their saliva.

They were also hyperactive and making gestures to the palace maids as they walked, and the palace maids seemed to enjoy it very much, exchanging glances and chatting happily!

We continued walking towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, surrounded by eunuchs, palace maids and royal guards.

Their expressions varied, some were smug, some had ulterior motives, and some were trembling with fear.

As I looked at them, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in my heart. These people live in the palace, which sounds very noble, but in fact they are like the walking corpses. It's really sad and lamentable!

Along the way, everyone looked at the chaotic scene around them, with all kinds of feelings intertwined in their hearts.

Some of those officials were in a panic, and their expressions were like mice scared by a cat; some pretended to be calm, but in fact they were already panicking terribly. It was really funny and helpless!

"Hmph! They are taking advantage of my father's great grace to bully the common people and act tyrannically. It's time they were given a good treat!" Yueying's cunning smile was like that of a little fox, laughing secretly.

That's right! It's really funny to see these officials embarrassed themselves! "

Lily chuckled, her hands on her hips, a smug look on her face. Her eyes twinkled cunningly, as if to say, "You officials are always so pretentious, sanctimonious, arrogant, mysterious and aloof. There will be times when you show your true colors, right?"

Lili's laughter echoed in the majestic Imperial Road, and it was particularly loud. Her laughter was full of ridicule and gloating towards the officials. These officials were always high and mighty, but now they made a fool of themselves on the Imperial Road, which made Lili very happy.

Lily's laughter attracted the attention of other officials, and they turned their heads and looked at Lily.

Some people showed dissatisfaction on their faces. They felt that Lili was too much and shouldn't laugh at them at this time. But Lili ignored their gazes and continued to smile, as if she was enjoying the happiness of this moment.

With Lili's laughter, the atmosphere on the Imperial Road became more relaxed and cheerful. The officials' embarrassing behavior made everyone forget their worries and pressures for a while. We started to tease each other, and the entire Imperial Road was filled with laughter...

As we talked and laughed, we quickened our pace, looking forward to meeting the mysterious Emperor Zhu Di as soon as possible.

However, when we actually stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, we were shocked to find that this place was like a maze!

The corridors are winding as if there is no end, and the walls are tall and majestic, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression!

"Oh, what's going on? Why do I feel like I'm going in circles?" Chunhua blinked her big round eyes, looking confused, as if she was caught in a big mystery.

"Are we really stuck in a maze? Haha." Gege joked in a nonchalant manner, but she was actually a little scared.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did this ghost come from? We must have found the wrong way." Feimei scolded, and her little expression was so cute.

Xiaoling held my hand tightly and said a little fearfully, "What should we do now?" Her voice was trembling a little.

I looked around and pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry, let's look for the way carefully." But in fact, I was not sure either.

So, a group of us continued to grope forward in this maze-like Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At first, the eunuchs and palace maids led the way confidently, with their heads held high and their steps confident, as if they knew the maze-like Hall of Mental Cultivation like the back of their hands. From time to time, they cast smug glances at us, as if they were showing off their abilities.

However, as time went on, their confidence began to fade. Sweat began to seep from their foreheads, their eyes became confused, and their steps became more and more hesitant. They began to frequently take the wrong path and had to turn back again and again, and the originally neat team became chaotic.

Some eunuchs and palace maids began to blame each other and shirk responsibility. The quarrels echoed in the corridors. Their faces were full of anxiety and fear, as helpless as lost children. Some of them even began to cry, complaining about the complexity of the maze and their bad luck.

Some eunuchs and palace maids tried to seek help by currying favor with us. They followed us servilely, constantly saying flattering words, hoping that we could lead them out of their predicament. Their ugly appearance made people feel ridiculous and pathetic.

Looking at the ugly appearance of these eunuchs and palace maids, I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart. Living in this deep palace, they have long lost their freedom and dignity and can only survive in the cracks of power. Their fate is so sad that people can't help but feel sorry for them.

"Oh my, why do all these roads look the same?" A young eunuch scratched his head anxiously. His hair was almost bald from scratching.

"That's right, are we really lost?" A palace maid also started to panic, her little face turned pale with fear.

Even those majestic Jinyiwei looked confused and at a loss.

"Haha, you guys who usually show off your power in the palace are now helpless!" Yueying couldn't help but joked, and the laughter echoed in the maze.

"Oh, Princess Anle, please stop making fun of us. We didn't expect the Palace of Tranquil Longevity to be so complicated." A Jinyiwei said with a bitter face. That expression was even more bitter than a bitter gourd.

We kept wandering around in this maze, going here and there, but we could never find the exit.

As time passed, everyone's patience was gradually worn out.

"Oh my, what should we do? Are we going to spend the night here?" Chunhua began to complain, her lips pouting so much that a bottle of oil could be hung on them.

"Humph, it would be really fun to spend the night here." Gege still said stubbornly, but in fact she was also very anxious.

"Hey, stop arguing and let me think of a solution." I rubbed my temples, trying to calm myself down. My head was almost dizzy.

Suddenly, an idea struck me, and I said, "Why don't we make some marks so we know which roads have been traveled."

"What a good idea!" Everyone nodded in agreement, as if they had found a life-saving straw.

So we started making marks along the way, but as we walked, we found that the marks seemed to have lost their effect.

"What's going on? We clearly marked it!" Lily widened her eyes, full of confusion.

"Oh, I get it. Someone must have deliberately erased our mark!" Chunhua said with sudden enlightenment, and her expression was as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Who would be so bored?" asked Feimei in confusion.

"Hmph, maybe it's the little devil in the palace!" The princess started talking nonsense again. Her imagination is really rich.

"Stop talking nonsense!" I glared at the princess. This princess was really laughable.

Just when we were at a loss, we suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Shh, listen, what's that sound?" Xiaoling said nervously, her little hand tightly grasping my arm.

We all pricked up our ears and listened carefully. The sound seemed to come from far away, intermittent and making people feel creepy.

"Is there really something unclean?" Chunhua was so scared that her face turned pale, like a piece of white paper.

"Don't scare yourself!" Although I said this, I felt a little scared inside.

We walked carefully in the direction of the sound, but found that the sound became clearer and seemed to be accompanied by some faint laughter.

"Oh my, this is really weird." Yueying couldn't help but say, with a very nervous expression.

"Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is testing us on purpose?" Lily guessed. This was not impossible.

"It's possible. After all, no one can guess what the Emperor is thinking." I nodded, feeling very nervous.

Just as we were daydreaming, a bright light suddenly appeared before our eyes.

"Look, what is that?" Feimei pointed excitedly in the direction of the light.

We hurried towards the light, and when we got closer, we found that it was a door.

"Haha, we finally found the exit!" Chunhua jumped up happily, as happy as if she had won the lottery.

We couldn't wait to push the door open, only to find that what was behind the door was not what we imagined.

Inside was a spacious room, luxuriously decorated, but empty.

"Where is this?" Xiaoling asked curiously, looking around with her little head.

"I don't know, but it looks like a very important place." I looked around and said, my heart full of curiosity.

We walked into the room cautiously and looked around.

Suddenly, a huge screen appeared in front of us, with some strange patterns painted on it.

"What is this?" Yueying walked forward curiously to take a look, looking like a curious baby.

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind the screen.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

That laughter sounded like it came from the depths of hell, sharp, piercing, and creepy.

There seemed to be some shrill cries mixed in with the laughter, which made people shudder.

The laughter echoed in the room, becoming louder and louder, more and more mournful, as if it was going to devour our souls.

Our heartbeats became faster and faster with the rhythm of the laughter, as if they were about to jump out of our throats.

"Who? Who's there?" I shouted loudly, my voice trembling a little.

However, no one answered, only the laughter echoed in the room, getting louder and louder, more and more miserable, as if it was going to devour our souls.

"It can't really be a ghost, right?" Chunhua was so scared that she hid behind me, her body trembling.

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us, we can definitely deal with it!" I said pretending to be calm, but in fact I was not sure.

We huddled together, our eyes fixed on the screen. The tense atmosphere made it almost hard to breathe.

After a while, the laughter finally stopped, but our hearts were still hanging.

Just when we were at a loss, the screen suddenly moved slowly...
