"You've seen one before?" Ye Qianning asked doubtfully.
"Mhm."
Nanxiang pouted and nodded.
After passing through several palace gates, Dean Chen, Xiang Minghou, and their party headed toward Qianqing Palace, while the women entered the inner palace.
The emperor's inner palace was said to hold three thousand beauties. Its grounds were a sea of compounds, one after another, each with its own unique style.
They passed through the rear garden and soon arrived at Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace was the empress's residence, several times larger than an ordinary palace compound. Its exterior was lavish, the classical architecture capped with a pagoda-like roof that was simply stunning.
Ye Qianning glanced around, a hint of awe in her eyes. 'I have to admit,' she thought, 'the building techniques of the ancestors were truly magnificent.'
