However, speechlessness was one thing.
Li Mingxuan really didn't know about Xia Yuqing's problem.
But logically speaking, since the Meridian Gate was part of the palace, no one would want their own home to be stained with blood.
After all, the emperor was also a human.
Hence, he said this.
Unexpectedly, it was Xia Yuqing who revealed a faint smile.
Immediately, the young people who were visiting the Forbidden City were stunned.
"That's right. The so-called introduction of the Meridian Gate in the TV series is fake. It's an artistic decoration because the Meridian Gate is still considered an imperial city.
In addition, in ancient feudal society, benevolence and righteousness were emphasized. Therefore, beheading people had to go to a special execution ground.
During the Yuan Dynasty, it was located in Chai City. During the Ming Dynasty, it was located in Xi City, west of Xi'an Gate Street. Yuan Chonghuan of the Ming Dynasty was beheaded there.”
Hearing her recount everything like a family treasure, it could be seen that she had worked hard. Not only did Li Mingxuan listen with relish,
Even some of the aunties and uncles were smiling.
Only the tour guides of some of the official tour groups had black lines on their faces.
As a result, more and more tourists followed Xia Yuqing from the Meridian Gate to Taihe Palace.
It was as if she had become a tour guide for a large tourism company.
As a result, Li Mingxuan was pushed to the edge by the aunties and uncles.
Facing these aunties, Li Mingxuan, as the main character, couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, Xia Yuqing saw through the situation and stopped her explanation with the excuse of resting.
Only then did the tourists who were freeloading on the tour guide leave.
"Here, your throat must be smoking!"
Li Mingxuan passed the Yili mineral water to Xia Yuqing on the square in front of Taihe Palace.
The latter did not expect the other party to be so attentive because the weather was starting to get hot.
They set off from the VIP hotel at 8:30. Because they had detoured to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to withdraw the money, they had to spend half an hour at Donghua Gate.
It was already past ten o'clock when they arrived at Taihe Palace.
Xia Yuqing's mouth was already dry after the explanation.
She took the bottle of mineral water and said softly,"
"Thank you!"
"Although I suffered some losses along the way, your speech was indeed very good!”
Li Mingxuan said with a smile,
"It can only be considered average. After all, I'm not a professional tour guide!”
Xia Yuqing took a sip of water and said humbly.
Actually, before she became a part-time tour guide, she had also signed up for some tour groups.
She took notes and studied various materials to master this money-making skill in a short time.
"You're being modest. Look at those tour guides from the official tour groups just now. Their faces are as black as the bottom of a pot.”
As Li Mingxuan spoke, he looked at a fat female tour guide not far away.
The female tour guide was glaring at Xia Yuqing with an unfriendly expression, her nostrils seemed to be spewing fire.
Some tourists were complaining that she did not speak well.
Naturally, the female tour guide did not have a good expression towards the instigator.
Seeing this, Xia Yuqing stuck out her pink tongue as if apologizing.
"Alright, next, you have to get closer to me and explain it to me in a low voice. Otherwise, it will become like that again!”
Li Mingxuan said,
"Oh, okay!" Xia Yuqing nodded.
Thus, starting from Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Baohe Hall, Painting Hall, Clock Hall, and so on,
Xia Yuqing was practically beside Li Mingxuan as she explained.
Sometimes, their arms were almost touching each other, and sometimes, they had to be close to each other to hear the explanation.
A few times, Xia Yuqing's face would turn red. It was unknown if it was because of the blush or the heat.
However, under her careful explanation, Li Mingxuan had a certain understanding of the entire Forbidden City.
For example, outside the Taihe Palace, there was a bridge across the Golden Water River, on which there was a strange-looking stone lion.
For example, there was actually a piece of wood on the famous Nine Dragon Wall, and the reason why this piece of wood appeared.
However, when it was noon, the two of them stopped shopping.
On one hand, it was too hot, and on the other hand, he was a little hungry.
Although there were also food stalls in the Forbidden City, such as fast food, fried bean paste noodles, and so on.
However, Li Mingxuan had no appetite for the food.
Thus, without visiting the Eastern Palace or the Western Palace, the two of them left the Donghua Sect.
After paying the 15 yuan parking fee, he drove back to the VIP building.
At this moment, Xia Yuqing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was a little uneasy.
As she was only a tour guide, the VIP building paid her 100 yuan a day, so in theory, she should not go to the hotel with the guests.
However, Li Mingxuan did not even mention it and brought her straight back to the hotel.
Xia Yuqing bit her lip before she took the private elevator, unsure if she should continue following them.
"What's wrong? Come in, Yuqing. We have to go somewhere else in the afternoon.”
Li Mingxuan shouted from the elevator.
Hence, Xia Yuqing finally stepped into the elevator.
They went all the way to the ninth floor, which was usually not open to guests.
She was instantly shocked by the extravagance of this place.
The entire corridor felt resplendent, and the carpet under her feet was soft, making her feet feel very comfortable.
When she followed Li Mingxuan to the presidential suite, she was completely silent.
There was only one thought in his heart. Was this the palace? Perhaps even the ancient emperors could not live in such a room.
The central air-conditioning blew cool air, but Xia Yuqing's heart was as restless as a volcano erupting.
"Wait for me here. I'll take a shower and then eat!”
After Li Mingxuan finished speaking, he went to the private bathroom and closed the door to wash up.
Meanwhile, Xia Yuqing was looking around the room, including the master bedroom, living room, dining room, and so on.
When she saw the luxurious 2.5-meter bed in the master's room, her face blushed slightly.
However, for some reason, the image of her home in the mountains of your province appeared in her mind.
Luxury and ruin intertwined in her mind.
"Is this the life of a rich person? That's great!"
Xia Yuqing murmured.
After about ten minutes, Li Mingxuan walked out of the bathroom with a refreshed face.
"You must be anxious from waiting. Come, let's go eat!”
After saying that, he pressed the butler button in the living room.
Mu Ye opened the door.
"Sir, is there anything you need?”
Mu Ye bowed. Although he saw Xia Yuqing in the room, as a qualified butler, he had to look straight ahead.
This was his professionalism.
"Go prepare some food."
Li Mingxuan paused and continued,"Does your hotel serve Western food?"
"Yes, we have four restaurants with different styles that serve classic dishes from all over the world and western food.”
After Mu Ye finished speaking, he took out a menu from his bag.
It was called the Red Wall Cafe.
Li Mingxuan looked at the picture on the menu and said,
"Top-grade beef tenderloin with 5A Gaul foie gras, Northern European seafood soup, Mediterranean sweet shrimp salad.
As for the main dish…This Provence grilled codfish with fried foie gras and black currants. The main dish would be the traditional shark fin soup with seafood and bean noodles. As for the final dessert, I'll leave it to the beautiful lady!”
When Li Mingxuan handed the menu to Xia Yuqing, she wanted to say that there was no need.
But in the blink of an eye, the menu was already in her hands.
However, when she saw the menu, she suddenly felt like running away.
She remembered that the young man in front of her ordered a top-grade beef tenderloin with 5A foie gras, but the price tag on the back was 998 yuan.
A thousand yuan was just a little bit of that inconspicuous thing in the picture.
The price was equivalent to ten days of her salary as a tour guide.
At this moment, she wanted to run away because she knew that if she continued to stay here, she would die.
She was about to step into a world that was incompatible with her life.
It was like an abyss. Once one stepped into it, there was no turning back.
However, even though she thought so, she could not move her legs.
"What's wrong, Yuqing?" Li Mingxuan looked at Xia Yuqing, who was silently holding the menu, and asked.
At this moment, the butler Mu Ye's eyes seemed to glow as he said,
"I think this noble lady might be a little hesitant.”
"Then give me one serving of each dessert. Two servings of each of the ones I ordered just now, understand?”
Li Mingxuan instructed.
"Yes, sir!" After Butler Mu Ye finished speaking, he asked,
"Do you need alcohol? We have authentic Bordeaux wine here.”
However, Xia Yuqing shook her head and said,"“... No, there's no need!"
She was afraid that if this continued, she would sink deeper and deeper.
"Then there's no need. After all, we still have to go out and play after dinner.”
Li Mingxuan nodded.
Actually, he thought that he should drink red wine at night to make the atmosphere more lively.
"I understand. Please wait a moment.”
After Mu Ye finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
