Chapter 253: Never Mention It
Soon, the eunuch came out of King Cheng's palace and said that King Cheng had agreed and invited Ji Chenxing to come in.

Ji Chenxing nodded to the eunuch, followed the eunuch, and walked slowly into King Cheng's palace.

Compared with the imperial palace of Daliang, the palace of Beiliang did not seem so magnificent on the surface. This was the scene that Ji Chenxing saw after entering the imperial palace of Beiliang.

But only King Cheng’s palace was different.

After entering King Cheng's palace, Ji Chenxing was first stunned by the various flowers blooming in the cold wind placed in the yard.

Magnolias, daffodils, trumpet creepers... flowers that Ji Chenxing knew and those that he didn't know were all blooming and placed among gold, silver and jade objects.

The fragrance of these flowers could be heard at night, and entering the forecourt of King Cheng's palace was like arriving in the glittering spring.

Further in is the main hall where King Cheng welcomes guests. When Ji Chenxing stepped through the threshold, he saw that the room was filled with all kinds of antiques and calligraphy and paintings.

Including the wine cup-sized night pearl that the waiter mentioned a few days ago, it was also placed in King Cheng's palace.

At this time, night gradually fell, and the light of the night pearl became brighter and brighter.

Seeing Ji Chenxing coming in, a tall and handsome young man also came out to greet him.

Ji Chenxing had also heard about this Cheng Wang from other people, so now, looking at this young man who looked 50% similar to Lu Yuzhou, Ji Chenxing was not too surprised.

"What's the girl's name?"

Seeing Ji Chenxing, Lu Feng's face was full of smiles.

"Your Highness, King Cheng." Ji Chenxing did not say much, but just knelt slightly to show respect. "My name is Ah Xing. I followed my master to travel around a few days ago. Now I have arrived in Beiliang Country. My master went out to do business, so he asked me to find a place to stay for a few days. But I don't have much money, so I came here."

In just a few words, Ji Chenxing told Lu Feng his fabricated origin and purpose.

Lu Feng nodded repeatedly. He was not interested in Ji Chenxing's background and asked, "I heard that the girl has a night-shining pearl as big as a bowl. Is it true?"

Ji Chenxing smiled slightly and took out the night pearl from his sleeve.

There were many servants in King Cheng's palace, but no one had ever seen such a big night-shining pearl. Everyone had a look of surprise on their face.

Lu Feng's greed was beyond words, and there were stars in his eyes.

Ji Chenxing was secretly delighted in his heart. Lu Feng was still a child after all. When he saw good things, he couldn't hide his joy and anger.

"Is this what King Cheng is asking?" Ji Chenxing said quickly, bringing Lu Feng back to his senses from his fantasy.

Lu Feng realized his gaffe and pretended to take his hand back, but he could not hide the greed in his eyes.

"That's right, that's it!"

Lu Feng tried hard to maintain his demeanor.

Ji Chenxing nodded calmly, "As long as King Cheng is willing to find a place for me to live in the palace, I will leave in a few days. This night-shining pearl will be my reward to His Royal Highness King Cheng."

As Ji Chenxing spoke, he slightly kneeled down towards Lu Feng and performed a simple salute.

There was nothing inappropriate in Ji Chenxing's words, and she looked like a young lady. Moreover, although her clothes looked simple, a closer look revealed that they were of great value. Lu Feng's favorability towards Ji Chenxing continued to increase.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Chenxing said that he wanted to give him the night pearl as a thank you gift.

With such a thank-you gift, there was no need to hesitate. Lu Feng agreed on the spot.

"Gao Sixian, go find a comfortable palace for Miss Axing, and arrange it yourself!" Lu Feng waved his hand and ordered the eunuchs around him to do it personally, which also showed how much he valued this matter.

Lu Feng is a man and Ji Chenxing is a woman. Even if she wants to find a place to live, she naturally cannot live in Lu Feng's palace.

Ji Chenxing thanked him on the surface, but in fact he secretly memorized many places in the palace in his mind.

At the same time, Ji Chenxing also noticed that there was a eunuch around Lu Feng.

Ji Chenxing didn’t know the rules of the Beiliang Imperial Palace, but he thought that it should be not much different from that of Daliang.

In Daliang, Jun Heng was the only one in the royal family who could use eunuchs. Now in Beiliang, Lu Feng is not the emperor, but he also uses eunuchs. His rebellious intentions are obvious.

So many people in the palace did not express surprise at his behavior, which shows that this kind of thing has been going on for a long time.

It can be said that Emperor Lu Yuzhou was quite a failure.

Shaking his head, Ji Chenxing followed the eunuch Gao Sixian to a palace.

"Miss Xing, please stay here first." Gao Sixian made a "please" gesture, "Miss, just ask someone to do anything you need. If you need anything, you can always send someone to notify His Royal Highness King Cheng."

Ji Chenxing nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The eunuch lowered his eyes to look at the ground, and suddenly seemed to remember something and gave instructions: "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should rest early to avoid catching a cold. The ladies in the palaces have also rested. You are unfamiliar with the face of the young lady, so it is not advisable for her to move around too much."

Lu Feng kept Ji Chenxing in the palace for his own selfish reasons. In order to avoid more people noticing Ji Chenxing and to prevent Ji Chenxing from causing unnecessary trouble, Lu Feng did not want Ji Chenxing to move around the palace too much.

Ji Chenxing also understood, of course. She nodded, indicating that she would obey. "I already know. Thank you for your instructions, eunuch."

After a few greetings, the eunuch left with satisfaction. Ji Chenxing walked into the palace and began to plan how to meet Lu Yuzhou.

Although Lu Yuzhou was the emperor, few people in the entire palace mentioned him, and King Cheng was respected in everything.

Ji Chenxing didn't plan to sleep here, but he still ordered the little palace maid to bring him some hot water for soaking his feet. He also took this opportunity to inquire about Lu Yuzhou.

The palace maid chosen by Ji Chenxing was a pretty girl who looked young, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Why is your Beiliang Palace different from other places?" Ji Chenxing pretended to mention it casually, then soaked his feet in hot water, and instantly felt his whole body warming up.

The little palace maid was bold and careful, and when she heard Ji Chenxing mention it, she immediately responded.

"Different from other places? I wonder what difference the girl is talking about?"

Ji Chenxing lifted a strand of her hair and held it in her hand, looking like a little girl chatting casually without thinking.

"When I went to other palaces, they all had emperors. I could hear people saying things like 'The emperor is great' or 'The emperor is short' everywhere I went. But how come after I came to your palace, I never heard about your Beiliang emperor?"

Ji Chenxing's words were very playful, as if she was really a girl who had traveled around the world and was talking about her experiences.

But after hearing Ji Chenxing's words, the little palace maid who served Ji Chenxing suddenly changed her expression and looked around in panic, as if she was afraid that Ji Chenxing's words would be heard by others.

Ji Chenxing was a sensitive person, and he had been observing the maid's words and actions. He was startled by her actions and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you?"

The maid looked around, made sure there was no one around, and patted her chest.

"Girl, has no one told you? You must not mention the emperor in this palace!"
