The surprise was indeed a surprise.

Li Qingyi had no reason to refuse Wang Xuan's invitation.

On the day of the appointment, I don’t know if Wang Xuan had someone calculate the date or if God was just being kind to her, but the heavy snow, which had almost never stopped, stopped in the early morning.

Until Li Qingyi left the palace, there was no sign of snowing, but the sun was out.

But the sun in this winter is not very warm.

Li Qingyi sat in the wobbly carriage, thinking about Wang Xuan's mysterious attitude. She did not ask the system until she arrived at the destination given by Wang Xuan.

The system couldn't help but ask curiously: [Host, are you really not going to ask me? ]

Li Qingyi went out of the palace today, wearing a light pink jacket and a small cape made of fluffy white fox fur. The fur edges of the cape made her small face look even smaller, and she looked delicate and well-behaved, like a little fairy.

After hearing what the system said, Li Qingyi just smiled and said, "I'm already here, what else are you asking?"

System: [Hey, I thought you would at least let me give you a hint.]

Li Qingyi smiled: [No need, I trust Wang Xuan.]

If it was someone else who suddenly received such an invitation, Li Qingyi would definitely ask for clarification for his own safety.

Either ask the host of the banquet or ask the system. After all, it is impossible for someone to go out of the palace to attend a banquet in the middle of winter without any preparation.

Moreover, based on Li Qingyi's understanding of the system, she was afraid that either she could not tell what the system was hinting at all, or that what the system thought was hinting was actually an explicit indication.

There's nothing I can do. The system... is really a little stupid.

After walking a few steps, Li Qingyi saw a group of people hurrying over at the end of the road which had obviously been cleaned long ago. He squinted his eyes slightly and saw Wang Xuan, dressed in green, coming towards them with several servants.

When the two met, smiles appeared on their faces before they spoke.

Li Qingyi: "But I came early?"

Wang Xuan: "No, it's never too early for you to come today."

They looked at each other again and smiled in tacit understanding.

Then, in front of everyone, the two of them exchanged a few polite words in a friendly yet somewhat pretentious manner, and Li Qingyi was led by Wang Xuan to a plum forest.

She was a little curious: "Are you inviting me to appreciate the plum blossoms?"

Probably not?

If Wang Xuan was a native, it would not be surprising that she would invite Li Qingyi to appreciate the plum blossoms.

But both of them are modern people at heart. It’s not that modern people don’t appreciate plum blossoms. It’s mainly because they are the kind of people who pay more attention to practical matters, especially in this era when winter is still so cold and inconvenient.

If there was nothing wrong, Wang Xuan would not have called her out of the palace.

As expected, Wang Xuan smiled and shook her head, motioning Li Qingyi to continue following her: "No, what I want to show you is still deep in the plum forest. But this plum forest is quite beautiful this year, and you can enjoy it along the way."

As she spoke, Wang Xuan noticed that Fang Xin, who was following behind Li Qingyi, twitched her eyebrows, as if she wanted to frown, but she did not actually make that expression.

So she asked with concern: "Or, if you feel cold or tired, I have a sedan chair here, do you need it?"

If it were last year, Li Qingyi would have to be really "squeamish" and try to see if the sedan chair in Wang Xuan's mansion was comfortable, but this year her physical condition was probably better than last year. At least so far, Li Qingyi was full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.

At the same time, she didn't feel cold. Instead, she felt warm all over and even wanted to take off her cloak.

I just didn't say anything because I considered that Fang Xin would definitely not agree.

Li Qingyi shook his head, "No, let's go."

After that, the group walked forward while admiring the plum blossoms. Even if Li Qingyi did not deliberately get close, he could still smell the faint plum fragrance in the woods, and his mood involuntarily relaxed.

Fang Xin had been paying attention to her condition. Seeing that Li Qingyi's face was rosy, she didn't say anything.

Then, as they walked, something extraordinary appeared in Li Qingyi's peripheral vision.

As the group got closer, Li Qingyi could see more clearly.

The group became quieter and quieter, and gradually, no one spoke anymore.

When he got closer, Li Qingyi stopped when he was about ten meters away from the building. He looked up and quietly looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar building in front of him. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly exhaled.

Li Qingyi: "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, what do you think?"

Li Qingyi was silent for a moment, with no expression on his face.

The air was inexplicably silent.

After a while, Fang Xin, who was also shocked by the strange building in front of her, couldn't help but look at her. Li Qingyi let out a long breath and smiled brightly: "Surprise!"

Fang Xin: "Your Highness, this is..."

The building in front of him was very tall and strange, square, and seemed to have no roof or other structure. In the eyes of Fang Xin, a pure ancient person, it was... very confusing.

But although the architectural style was very strange, Fang Xin could feel that the wall facing them was obviously different from other houses. The biggest difference was that it was made of a material as smooth as a mirror, which reminded her of the glass windows that had been installed in the palace some time ago.

But the glass windows are transparent. Even those palaces that are not used much on weekdays are said to be equipped with relatively not-so-good glass, which is also light-transmissive. Unlike the wall in front of them, they can only see the reflections of their group but cannot see what is going on inside.

But in the eyes of Li Qingyi or other people from modern times, such square buildings were not uncommon in the era when they lived.

and……

Li Qingyi opened her mouth slightly, then closed it, and opened it again.

Finally, with a smile in her eyes, she said, "Nothing, let's go in and take a look."

After entering, I thought I would see some strange room, but Fang Xin discovered that this house that looked strange on the outside was actually... land.

It may not be correct to say it is land, it should be said... fields.

The amazing thing is that although one cannot see inside from the outside, after entering, Fang Xin discovered that she can see the scene outside from the inside.

Fang Xin: "This, this..."

Wang Xuan spoke up at this time, feeling very emotional: "It was also a coincidence, because I said that I would try more, no matter what kind of glass, as long as it is made, I would try to see what characteristics it has. I didn't expect that someone would actually make this kind of glass that can block the outside view in the daytime."

"But it won't work at night. If the night watchman in the greenhouse turns on the light, the outsiders can see clearly."
