บท 278: Chapter 211 A Brand New Engagement

Stepping out of the carriage, Xu Yuan surveyed the center of imperial power.

Compared to the Forbidden City of his past life, the imperial palace of the Dayan Empire might be more than twice as large.

The eaves soared high above, and a wide avenue flanked by vermilion palace walls stretched to the horizon. A few eunuchs and maidservants walked with their heads bowed, amidst a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Turning away, Xu Yuan remarked with a hint of admiration,

"Father, this imperial palace is really enormous."

Xu Yinhè glanced at Xu Yuan,

"Indeed, the imperial palace is vast, but don't say that out loud in public."

As Xu Yuan puzzled over his words, a thin voice suddenly came from half a zhang away,

"Prime Minister Xu really knows how to joke. The Emperor has instructed that you may enter at any time you please."

"......" Xu Yuan.

Again?

His gaze returned to the person speaking in front of the palace gate.
