Ling Tian followed the palace maid around, calculating that the distance was at least three to four li. Finally, he saw the copper peacock flapping its wings at the top of the Changle Palace. A small door opened here. The eunuchs and palace maids who went out to handle personal matters or were in charge of purchasing goods came through this door.
After leading Ling Tian in, the palace maid pointed out a direction for Ling Tian before hurriedly leaving.
Ling Tian did not hold back and directly charged into the inner courtyard.
For the first time in his life, Ling Tian activated his inner energy before coming into contact with his target. He wanted to know if the Jade Princess was the niece of the Minister of Rites' wife. If that person was really her, then there would definitely be experts protecting her. If he did not find such experts, then it meant that the niece of the Minister of Rites' wife was not the Jade Princess. If that was the case, whether Ling Tian went in or not would be meaningless. He would naturally turn around and leave.
As he neared the inner courtyard, Ling Tian's ears filled with inner energy could faintly hear the soft whispers inside. His nose could also smell the fragrance of silk.
After another ten steps, he had already stepped into the inner courtyard. As far as the eye could see, among the green leaves and red flowers, there was a graceful figure appearing and disappearing.
Ling Tian had a faint smile on his face. He had already discovered two people. Although the two of them had restrained their auras, they could not escape the search of Ling Tian's Spiritual Sense. With their auras restrained, there was no doubt that they were experts of inner energy! However, with this level of skill, although they had the qualifications to make Ling Tian look at them, they were still not enough to enter Ling Tian's eyes.
Ling Tian thought to himself. With his own subordinates, even Ling Chen would be able to easily defeat the two of them. However, other than Ling Jian, Ling Chen, and Ling Chi, the others like the thirty-six Blood Iron Warriors would only be on par with them. The weaker ones would even need two people to fight against one of them.
With these two people here, Ling Tian was almost certain that the niece of the Minister of Rites' wife was undoubtedly the Jade Princess. Presumably, the third person who had a weaker aura but did not conceal it was the Jade Princess.
Ling Tian smiled in his heart and directly walked towards the three people. Now, Ling Tian had already retracted his inner energy. With the abilities of these three people, although Ling Tian was confident that they would not be able to discover his aura, using it for a long time would still consume a lot of his inner energy. If he could save it, then he would save it.
Surrounded by layers of green foliage, a jade table. In front of the table, there was a small pond. In the middle of the pond was a strange rockery, surrounded by green ripples. On top of the rockery, there were a few flowers and plants. In the green ripples, a school of red fish was swimming around happily. Beside the pond, a few weeping willows swayed in the wind, dancing.
Right now, on the jade table, there was a piece of white paper laid out on top of it. A white-robed lady was currently drawing with her head lowered. From Ling Tian's perspective, he was unable to see her appearance. However, from Ling Tian's cloud-like hair, knife-like shoulders, and slender waist, even if this girl's appearance was not good, she would not be too bad. Also, she had a demure and elegant demeanor, which Ling Tian had never seen before.
This was an indescribable feeling. It was very ethereal, but very real. He could feel it, but he could not see it, but it clearly existed. In an instant, Ling Tian only had two words in his heart: Elegant. Facing this lady in front of him, while he could not see her face, Ling Tian already felt that she could no longer be described as' flirtatious' or 'graceful'. It was as though only 'graceful' could barely describe her.
With one look, Ling Tian already had a strong interest in this girl who had her head lowered and was drawing! This was the first time he had such a feeling, even if he added up all the times in his previous life! And all these feelings actually came from the back of a person! Ling Tian shook his head. This feeling, even he was not willing to believe it.
Behind this girl, stood three people. Three girls. Two of them, one had slightly white hair, and the other was about forty years old. The third was the same as the painter, also a young and beautiful girl. However, Ling Tian did not recognize her. He guessed that she was the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
The moment Ling Tian appeared at the end of the path, the two middle-aged ladies turned their heads at the same time, their eyes glaring at Ling Tian like lightning.
Ling Tian showed a hint of surprise, then nodded his head with a smile and walked over.
This was the Sky Bearing Imperial Palace, and only members of the Imperial Family could come here. The special environment made the two girls who turned their heads to look at Ling Tian instinctively think that Ling Tian was a prince. After hesitating for a moment, they opened up a path for him.
The girl who was drawing did not even raise her head, as though she did not notice Ling Tian's arrival.
Ling Tian held his breath, slowly walking towards the jade table and looking at it.
The painting on the white paper was nearing completion. She was drawing the pavilion in front of her, with the artificial mountains and ponds in front of her. Currently, the girl was drawing the willow branches that danced in the wind. However, the willow branches in the spring breeze had an ethereal artistic conception. The hardest thing for a painter was to grasp the artistic conception within the painting. The girl seemed to be perplexed, with her brows furrowed, unable to draw.
When Ling Tian looked at the painting, he noticed that while the girl's brushwork was adept, it lacked a sense of liveliness. While the painting was similar to the real thing, it was more rigid. While he knew that everyone in the world painted like this, Ling Tian could not help but let out a sigh. Could it be that even a beautiful girl like you is unable to draw something like this?
Ling Tian's unintentional sigh woke the two girls up. One was the painter, and the other was the viewer. The two of them raised their heads and looked at him.
What was out of Ling Tian's expectations was that the back view of the girl who was drawing was already filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, when he looked at her face, he saw that her skin was dark. While she was not ugly, she definitely could not be considered a beauty. Only that pair of elegant, light, and indifferent eyes were still shining brightly.
Ling Tian's gaze landed on her gentle jade-like, snow-white, and supple hands, as well as her exposed neck, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. It seems like this lass is in disguise.
The two girls suddenly saw that in the place where the princess of a country was, where no man should be, there was actually an extremely handsome young master with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. They could not help but feel surprised. Other than the prince, which other young man could casually come here?
The girl who was drawing nodded slightly and greeted him. She said, "Just now, I heard that your sigh seemed to be filled with regret. May I know why?" She did not ask about Ling Tian's identity and origin, directly skipping this part. Of course, she was afraid that after his identity was revealed, the cumbersome etiquette would be even more troublesome. It was better to pretend that they met by chance and go their separate ways to save trouble.
Ling Tian could not help but secretly praise her intelligence. However, since she did not mention it, Ling Tian was naturally happy not to mention it. Seeing that she asked him a question like an old friend of many years, without the slightest pretentiousness of a normal girl, she appeared very natural and natural.
Ling Tian smiled and said, "It's not much. It's just that when I saw the girl's painting, whether it was the use of the brush, the moistening of the ink, or the composition, it was at the level of a master. I really admire it."
The two girls' eyes lit up at the same time. The girl who was drawing said, "If that's the case, why does the young master feel regret?"
