You can’t even find where the entrance is!
"You all stay here, he and I will go in alone!"
In the end, Chi Emiko asked Maki Hosokawa and the others to stop here, while she took Ye Chenfeng into the garden.
"Just follow ."
Chi Emiko instructed Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng gave a mysterious smile, his face showing a subtle expression.
"What’s the matter?"
Chi Emiko looked at him curiously and asked.
"As far as I know, this garden is like a labyrinth. There must be hidden traps, and to get in, you first have to find the entrance, and then avoid the traps. I’m soone who loves challenges, and I might suddenly decide to challenge myself halfway through and unintentionally take the wrong path."
Ye Chenfeng explained.
"You!"
Chi Emiko was almost speechless with anger.
"I’m sorry, that’s just how my personality is. Can’t help it!"
Ye Chenfeng shrugged helplessly.
"Give !"
Chi Emiko said weakly.
"What?"
Ye Chenfeng looked at her in confusion.
"Your hand!"
Chi Emiko felt like she could spit blood from frustration.
"Oh oh... isn’t it improper for n and won to touch hands?"
Ye Chenfeng smiled a bit shyly.
Though he said so, Ye Chenfeng had already extended his hand.
"Huff!"
Chi Emiko forcibly suppressed her anger and tightly grabbed Ye Chenfeng’s hand.
"This hand is really smooth!"
Ye Chenfeng smiled mischievously.
Since that counterattack, he had almost been suppressing Chi Emiko the whole ti.
The feeling was really satisfying!
Seeing Chi Emiko’s cold gaze sweep over, Ye Chenfeng turned his head and humd: "Hand in hand, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky..."
"Pfft!"
Chi Emiko had been putting up with it; her lifelong patience was all used today.
Following Chi Emiko, the two walked together.
After so ti, they finally overca the barrier of the garden and entered another world.
This area felt like being deep in the mountains and forests; aside from a row of built houses, it was all mountains and woods.
Chi Emiko led Ye Chenfeng into a bamboo forest where there were buildings, giving off an ancient and somber aura.
"These buildings must have so years on them, right?"
Ye Chenfeng touched his nose and couldn’t help but ask.
"Almost a hundred years old!"
Chi Emiko explained.
"Oh oh..."
Ye Chenfeng nodded, glancing around.
Having such a place inside the Imperial Palace is truly rare!
The architecture of the Imperial Palace is indeed vintage, but the scenic area should be more like gardens.
This setup of mountains and forests is definitely not the lavish style of the Imperial Palace, and this place seems more like soone is quietly cultivating here.
Ye Chenfeng looked calmly at Chi Emiko and said, "Since you’ve already brought to the destination, should you tell today’s plan?"
Chi Emiko glanced at Ye Chenfeng and said, "I ca today to let you et soone!"
"Is it right here?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
"That’s right!"
Chi Emiko replied.
Ye Chenfeng was faintly expectant; Chi Emiko was likely bringing him to et soone like the Emperor.
"The person I’m introducing is very special, so I hope you will be cautious in your words and actions."
Chi Emiko advised as she looked at Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng’s interest was piqued, and he curiously asked, "Special? In what way?"
"What kind of people live in the Imperial Palace?"
Chi Emiko asked.
"They’re all Imperial Family mbers! What about it?"
Ye Chenfeng answered instinctively.
Then Ye Chenfeng added, "Right, there are also the servants and attendants of the Imperial Family."
Chi Emiko smiled, "They’re at most possessions of the Imperial Family mbers!"
"So how does that relate to what I asked?"
Ye Chenfeng returned to the topic.
"The person you’ll be eting today is the only one in the Imperial Family who isn’t a mber but stands on equal footing with them."
Chi Emiko replied.
Ye Chenfeng was puzzled, "What does that an?"
"It’s simple, this person isn’t part of the Imperial Family. Yet he can live in the Imperial Palace, enjoying the sa treatnt and power as the family mbers."
Chi Emiko explained to Ye Chenfeng.
"That’s incredible!"
Ye Chenfeng said in amazent.
It’s known that the Imperial Family values status greatly.
When it cos to marriages, they’re usually between the Imperial Family and noble families.
Rarely do the Imperial Family marry commoners; several Princes and Imperial princesses had to leave the family after marrying commoners.
The Imperial Family holds status in high regard, and to Ye Chenfeng, it seems almost impossible for a commoner to enjoy equal rights with the family.
"Hard to believe, right? Actually, I don’t quite believe it either, but since I was born, he’s been part of the Imperial Family."
Chi Emiko smiled with curled lips.
"That’s really remarkable!"
Ye Chenfeng remarked.
"What’s even more remarkable is that everyone in the Imperial Family fears and dreads him. Including ."
Without holding back, Chi Emiko’s words plunged Ye Chenfeng into a state of shock.
What kind of existence is this?
A commoner not only lives in the palace like a mber but is soone everyone fears.
"Actually, this area was specially built for him by the Imperial Family a century ago, so he can live and guard the palace. A true Guardian. Anyti there’s a major issue in the Imperial Family, they have to consult him. It’s beco a rule. There can’t be chaos within the family, or they’ll face his wrath.
Countless people want to befriend him, using various ans, but it’s not a matter of success; seeing him is a challenge itself. You saw the situation outside just now."
Chi Emiko continued.
"What’s his background?"
Ye Chenfeng asked, extrely curious.
"Actually, I’m not sure about his background, only that he has a hobby—drinking. He’s dubbed the Venerable of Wine, also known as the Drunkard. Due to my fondness for wine, I was fortunate to beco his student, though it’s rely about the art of winemaking. But now I’m the only one in the Imperial Family who can freely approach him."
Chi Emiko said with a smile, seemingly showing a hint of pride.
Though Ye Chenfeng can understand, according to Chi Emiko.
This Venerable of Wine is the figure everyone in the Imperial Family flocks to. But little do they know, it’s Chi Emiko, who roams outside regularly, who is closest to him.
That’s worth taking pride in!
Additionally, Ye Chenfeng understands sothing; when Chi Emiko first t, she tested him with a Hundred Flowers Brew to check if he was the one-man-challenging-a-hundred people Wine God...
All these things were leading up to today!
To introduce himself through wine to the Venerable of Wine!
Ye Chenfeng recalled Xingyuan Hao’er ntioning a big change is imminent; all these people are secretly recruiting.
