The atmosphere in the carriage fell silent. Jiang Li was in a bad mood. He ignored his cheap uncle, Zhao Gao, who was talking to himself.
They arrived at Ganquan Palace in about an hour.
Jiang Li got off the carriage and looked at the majestic palaces in front of him in shock.
This was a huge group of palaces and pavilions surrounded by a high wall of green tiles. Outside the high wall, there was a sentry post every three steps and a guard post every five steps. Black armored soldiers on duty could be seen everywhere.
Following Zhao Gao's footsteps, they passed through the main entrance of Ganquan Palace, and many palaces and buildings appeared in their sight.
Other than that, there were also fake mountains, pools, ancient trees, gardens, lawns, and pavilions. The scenery was extremely pleasant.
In the 21st century, other than the Forbidden City, no other building could compare to the Ganquan Palace.
The palace of the Qin Kingdom was huge. After Ying Zheng unified the six countries, the area of the palace would expand several times.
In fact, as time passed, the imperial palaces of each dynasty became smaller and smaller. The Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the smallest imperial palace of all dynasties. Many years later, the Qin Imperial Palace became the largest imperial palace.
However, Xiangyu was so cheap that he burned all of them with a fire, causing Liu Bang to have to painstakingly repair them again.
It was Jiang Li's first time in the royal palace, and it was the Empress Dowager's bedchamber. It was an eye-opener for him, and he was deeply moved.
This was a place for people to live!
After walking for some distance and passing through several red-wall palace gates, Jiang Li glanced at the young palace maids he met along the way. They were walking in a hurry, and he didn't know what they were busy doing.
Before long, Zhao Gao brought Jiang Li to an exquisite pavilion about ten meters tall.
The attic was surrounded by walls and stood in the middle. It was surrounded by colorful flowers and lush lawns. At the same time, there were some ancient cherry blossom trees rising from the ground.
Creak!
With a soft sound, the dark red carved wooden door that was originally closed was opened. Four palace maids dressed in light white gauze dresses and one in light blue gauze dresses walked out leisurely.
The leader was the palace maid in a light blue dress. She bowed to Zhao Gao and stole a glance at Jiang Li, who was looking around with her watery eyes. Her face blushed, and she was impressed by his handsomeness.
"Li 'er, you'll stay here for the time being. Her name is Yue Ling. If you need anything, she'll help you arrange it.”Zhao Gao turned to Jiang Li and introduced the palace maid to him.
"Hey!"
"Uncle, can you let me leave the palace?" Jiang Li looked up at the sky and sighed. You'll lose your nephew if you do this.”
"Uncle?" The five palace maids looked Jiang Li up and down in surprise. This handsome and elegant young man was actually Lord Zhao Gao's nephew.
The elegant young master, Lord Zhao Gao's nephew…
All of a sudden, the palace maids knew who this handsome young master was.
The Art Saint, the Immortal Poet, the most handsome man in the Seven Kingdoms, Jiang Li, who called himself the White-robed Scholar, was known as Mr. Li.
Although the Qin royal palace was isolated from the outside world, news from the outside world still spread. Whether it was in the royal palace or in Xianyang City, most people knew about the relationship between Zhao Gao and Jiang Li. This was because the Saint of Paintings and the Immortal of Poets had come to Xianyang to seek refuge with Zhao Gao.
Swoosh!
Zhao Gao appeared in front of Jiang Li in a flash. His eyes were cold as he warned,""Don't think about sneaking away. The Six Sword Slaves will protect you.”
Looking at his uncle's sickly pale face, Jiang Li could not help but sigh.
Obviously, there was a problem with Zhao Gao's cultivation technique. It was most likely not a proper cultivation technique. In the words of the novel, it was a demonic cultivation technique, a cultivation technique used by villains.
On second thought, as one of the two hidden bosses, it was reasonable for his cheap uncle to cultivate evil cultivation techniques. It was in line with the plot and the character's image.
He had been in Xianyang for almost a month. He could feel that his uncle didn't have any ill intentions towards him. In fact, he was very concerned about him. However, the way he cared about him was a little special. He didn't want such concern.
He hooked up with the Empress Dowager, climbed up the phoenix collapse, was granted the title of Marquis and worshipped the prime minister, and lived in the highest grade of official residence.
Could this be done?
Tired of living!
Even if he wanted to live off a woman, he might as well hook up with the sisters of the Yin-Yang School. At least the risk factor was not that high.
Thinking of all this, Jiang Li said with no desire to live,""Uncle, I think I'll be killed by you.”
"The seven countries have been fighting for hundreds of years. The Qin country has already unified the world. Uncle has learned the art of astrology and divination. Your fate is extremely special and confusing. It is a variable in the world. With such a fate, Uncle is looking forward to your future.”
Zhao Gao spoke leisurely, his eyes shining brightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
" My fate is special, and the world is unpredictable…" Jiang Li thought for a long time, then shook his head and laughed."I don't believe in astrology or divination. Fate is created by oneself and not decided by the heavens. I only believe in myself.”
Zhao Gao was slightly surprised, but he was more satisfied. The smile on his face grew wider. This nephew was actually the same kind of person as him. He did not believe in fate either. Learning the art of astrology was only a reference to reverse the original trajectory of his fate.
Then, Zhao Gao looked at Yue Ling and said,"Take Li 'er to bathe and change."”
"Young Master!"
The palace maid, Yue Ling, blushed and called out softly, raising her hand to make an inviting gesture.
Bathing and changing clothes?
Was there a need to be in such a hurry?
I haven't thought of a plan to escape!
Jiang Li remained silent. His dark and bright eyes darted around as he thought of an excuse to stall for time.
Noticing Jiang Li's subtle expression, Zhao Gao cast a sidelong glance at him.""I want you to bathe and change your clothes so that you can wash away the dust and dress appropriately so that you can paint for the Empress Dowager.”
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not what he thought. It was just painting, so it was not a big problem. If he performed a little worse and made Zhao Ji feel disgusted, his uncle's plan would definitely fall through.
"Young Master, please!"
Yue Ling once again raised her hand to invite him. The redness on her face had already spread to her ears.
This was Mr. Li's lethality. The title of the most handsome man in the Seven Kingdoms was not undeserved. It was true.
"Prepare well. The Six Sword Slaves will send your painting scroll and brush over. Don't make any mistakes. One day, you will understand my good intentions.”
" Let's go!" Zhao Gao instructed, then turned around and left, leaving behind a chilly shadow.
After his uncle disappeared, Jiang Li smiled at the young, beautiful, and curvy palace maid, Yue Ling.""There's no need to trouble you. I'll do it myself.”
Yue Ling blinked her eyes and covered her mouth with a smile.""Young Master, please follow me!"
…
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Li was leaning against the wide bathtub. He was drenched, and his black hair hung freely without the restraint of the crown.
"Hey!"
Jiang Li sighed. His cheap uncle's plan made him extremely uneasy.
With the lessons of the past, this kind of thing could not be done.
Soon, Jiang Li had a plan to break out of this situation.
For a high and mighty woman like Zhao Ji, it was obviously impossible for her to charm someone in just a few moves. She needed a continuous process.
Therefore, he did the opposite.
His uncle wanted him to paint first to show off his talent and highlight his brilliance, so that he could leave an image of both talent and beauty in Zhao Ji's heart.
That would be simple. He would just pick up his brush and draw blindly, making Lady Zhao angry and disgusted. Then, he would be directly kicked out of Ganquan Palace.
