Chapter 1471: Going Boating

Inside Jun Mountain’s Yating Court.
The mountain range undulated as it extended uninterrupted into the distance. Although the peaks were precipitous, the court situated inside was verdant and surrounded on three sides by water.
The scenery was gorgeous, and the view delightful.
Upon arriving at their destination, Princess Mi impatiently bounced out of the carriage. She stretched out her arms and cried out happily, “Good, good. There aren’t any zombies or mutated beasts, and the large stretch of lake has maintained its emerald-green. The lush trees form a leafy shade, and the fragrance from the flowers just a.s.saults the senses. Ohohoho. I’m in love with this place!”
Qiao Mu lifted the curtain and expressionlessly burrowed out from the carriage.
When she heard Princess Mi saying this, she automatically scanned their surroundings for some reason.
Haitang immediately went into a defensive stance and cautiously glanced around, as well. She then informed in a low voice, “Crown Prince Consort, as Princess Mi stated, there are no signs of zombies or mutated beasts.”
Xiao Mi twitched her mouth and looked at Qiao Mu with a raised eyebrow. “Cough, Younger Sis, this guard of yours is quite interesting. From the looks of it she is not an ordinary talent.”
At this time, the n.o.ble ladies from the other kingdoms as well as the young ladies from the patrician families were also alighting from their carriages, and they were delighted by the scenery in front of them.
Her Majesty the Queen’s mood subsequently improved, and she told everyone with a smile, “This place, just like Jun Mountain’s royal hunting grounds, is tended to by specialized personnel.”
“No wonder this deserves to be called the Northern Mo Fortification.” Southern Baili’s fifth princess, Baili Zhen, couldn’t resist sighing with emotion.
Such a large fortification was planned out in such perfect order, from the buildings and defense to the perfected protective mechanisms and garrison arrangements. Everything inside the entire fortification had something extraordinary about it.
This Yating Court on Jun Mountain did not seem to have changed much compared to before the zombie outbreak.
“Some mutated zombie beasts had appeared inside this lake before, but we were able to deal with them promptly since there were not many of them. As of now, this lake has lost around 70 to 80 percent of its water inhabitants.” Queen Zhao sighed.
“Everyone does not need to worry. We had better board the boat first.”
“After you, Your Majesty.”
Everyone courteously let her go first.
An exquisite and resplendent gaily-painted three-story pleasure boat had docked at the sh.o.r.e. The top of the pleasure boat was fringed with colored glaze tiles that sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
Under Queen Zhao’s lead, everyone boarded the pleasure boat one by one. Afterwards, the boat slowly left the sh.o.r.e for the center of the lake.
Yating Court was just right on the small island in the center of this emerald-green lake.
From afar, it was like it was being embraced by the emerald water, and the jade leaves on the island looked to be extremely full of vitality.
That should be an unpolluted world, everyone mused excitedly.
Qiao Mu was also a bit curious since it was also her first time here.
She didn’t expect there to be such a peculiar courtyard existing in this world that was free from the world of men.
“Your Majesty, since this Yating Court has not been contaminated by zombie beasts, why have you not chosen to reside here?” Jin Hongluan of Northern Wei’s Jin Clan Fort was a candid girl.
Seeing that the environment here was so gorgeous, and the woods luxuriant, she couldn’t help but find it strange. It was not inferior to the royal palace at all.
Queen Zhao explained with a smile, “There were still mutated beasts prowling about before, but because the royal court has been tending to this area, they sent quite a few operation squads here to complete missions.. Look, there practically aren’t any fish in this lake water.”
