Two beautiful sculptures of a swan were placed on either side of the gate, making an archway with their long necks that acted as the gate into the Swan courtyard.
The walls surrounding the courtyard were entirely white, like the feathers of a swan and the building beyond the walls was the same design of buildings as he had seen everywhere. Slanted roofs with arched tips, all in the color of black and red.
All in all, the building looked exquisite.
Alex and Yao Ning walked into the courtyard with a few servants already waiting for them, the main of which seemed to be a young woman seemingly in her mid-20s wearing a higher grade of blue robe than the other female servants around her.
"This is one of our head servants, Huang Bingyue. You may request of her anything you need in the palace, your Majesty," Guqing said.
"I will," Alex said.
Guqing nodded. "I'll leave you two guests then. Bingyue, take care of their needs," the old man said.
