"Looking out here, does the scenery look any different"

His chin resting on the frightened Jin Luyao's shoulder, Li Chen said to her.

Jin Luyao's whole body was tense, like a bowstring pulled tight, but when she heard Li Chen's words, she still subconsciously looked forward.

This location faces the main entrance of Xizheng Hall, and as the core place where princes of Qin Dynasty throughout history interacted with state affairs and learned about governance, its hall's specifications are second only to those of the Taihe Hall, used by the emperor, and the Wuyin Hall.

The entire hall's base is one foot eight inches high, with six white marble steps, each seventeen steps long. Inside the hall, it is eighteen feet nine inches wide and six feet nine feet deep. Seventeen red lacquered carved dragon pillars, which would take three adult men to encircle hand-in-hand, support this magnificent hall.

And these pillars, all made of the finest rosewood, were brought out from deep mountains and old forests by manpower. Then at great expense, they were transported to the capital city. Every single one is a priceless treasure beyond measure, something that money simply cannot buy.

The entire hall was made of stone, all using the finest white marble. As for the wooden parts, they were all crafted from agarwood and yellow pear wood, which are known to be resistant to decay and infestation for over a thousand years.

Needless to say, even with the combined efforts of the entire nation during the Xian Dynasty, such a magnificent hall couldn't be built.

And Li Chen's position, naturally, was the best spot in the main hall for viewing. At a glance, one felt an exhilarating sense of ascending high and looking far away, so much so that one's entire chest seemed to broaden.

Even as a woman, when Jin Lu Yao looked out from here, she could take in half of the Eastern Palace at a glance. Raising her eyes, she could see the imperial palace in the distance, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Indeed it is different." Jin Luyao replied.

With a light chuckle, Li Chen said, “The most scenic spot in the entire palace is undoubtedly Taihe Hall. At a glance, you can see all the civil and military officials, guards standing in formation, everyone kneeling and shouting in unison. They say that climbing Mount Tai allows one to overlook all other mountains, but here, before Taihe Hall, even standing on flat ground, I feel as though I am swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, reigning supreme over the world unparalleled.”

Jin Luyao felt a bit nervous and uncomfortable, and instinctively wanted to get up.

Li Chen whispered two words, yet Jin Luyao imagined the man's shoulders after he stood up, still bearing wounds. If she touched him, she would be to blame.

Thinking about this, Jin Luyao stiffened her body and dared not move.

Very satisfied with the effect of his words, Li Chen leaned close to Jin Lu Yao's crystal clear and jade-like earlobe and said, "Are you secretly cursing this palace for being shameless, vulgar, and despicable"

Jin Lu Yao bit her lip, trying hard not to be affected by the hot breath Li Chen was sending onto her earlobe. She said stiffly, "Isn't it"

“As for me, the world and beauty are never a choice between one or the other. As an adult, of course I want both. But many beauties only qualify to be with me after I have the world. For example, you. If I weren't the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty, if your entire nation's fate wasn't in my hands, would you even glance my way”

Just like those young masters who flocked outside the inn, eager only for a glimpse of you, they too can only hide their wolfish intentions deep within their hearts, afraid to reveal them.

Jin Lu Yao angrily retorted, "Do you think everyone is just like you"

"Men, know men best."

Li Chen said calmly, "Which man gets close to a woman isn't it for the most primitive thing If you really want to talk about heart and mind Everyone is busy, there are countless benefits to be sought after, who has the leisure time"

"No matter how eloquently it's put, it's just about the usual things between men and women."

As they spoke, Li Chen's hand had already moved up.

"Ah!"

Jin Luyao exclaimed in surprise.

She couldn't believe it, Li Chen wouldn't want to take advantage of her here, would he!e servant dares not delay. I went back to make some arrangements, and then came straight to the capital. Later, my family and relatives will come one after another.""Well, not bad, at least the attitu...
