The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 648 [647] Qing Chuancheng Princess 16 (2 more)
The Old Summer Palace is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, adjacent to the Summer Palace. It is composed of the Old Summer Palace, the Changchun Garden and the Yichun Garden, also known as the Three Old Summer Palaces.

What she saw in later generations were ruins, and this was the first time she saw such a majestic royal garden during the Yongzheng period.

As we all know, the Old Summer Palace is a garden given by Kangxi to Yongzheng, who has not yet ascended the throne, to pass the time.At that time, the Old Summer Palace was not as big as later generations. What they saw in later generations was rebuilt and expanded after Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang.

The Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchus. They lived in the Northeast for a long time. How could this entry pass withstand the dry heat of Beijing's midsummer?
In addition, after the fire in the Forbidden City in the early years of Kangxi, high palace walls were built for fire prevention, which made the emperor feel uncomfortable to live in.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the Old Summer Palace was expanded, and Zhengda Guangming Hall and Qinzheng Hall were added to the south of the garden, as well as storage rooms for the Cabinet, Six Ministries, and Military Aircraft Offices, so as to "avoid noise and listen to politics".

Since then, the Old Summer Palace has also become one of the emperor's main offices.

It is said that he spends at least 2 days in the Old Summer Palace every year, and only returns to the Forbidden City from the winter solstice to February and some major festivals.

Today Yun Mi brought Xi Yan to the Old Summer Palace, apart from surprise in her eyes, she was shocked.

Because at this time, the Old Summer Palace covers an area equivalent to 280 football fields. How long does it take for her to really walk around such a large place?
Not to mention the Yuanmingyuan seen by future generations, it will only be bigger than what she sees now, even if some parts are destroyed, it will not affect its magnificence.

Different from later generations, the Three Gardens of later generations have countless Chinese and Western-style buildings. Of course, these are all rebuilt and expanded from generation to generation.

In the current Yuanmingyuan, countless precious flowers and trees are planted between streams and lakes, small stones, palaces, pavilions, and terraces.

Coupled with the natural mountains, forests and valleys, it is really a wonderful painting. With just one glance, Xiyan feels that she has fallen in love with this place.

"It's so beautiful!"

No wonder every emperor since Yongzheng lived here for 230 days every year, and the elders lived here for more than 360 days. If it was her, she hoped to live here [-] ​​days a year.

They went there in the morning and went directly to the Waichao District.

Like the imperial palace, Yuanmingyuan is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court.

The outer court area is in the south of the garden, with the Dagong Gate in front and the left and right court rooms in front of the gate.

Afterwards, in the east were the Clan Mansion, the Cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., and in the west were the House of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Qin Tianjian.

Going to the west at this time, maybe you can see Ama who is working.

Emperor Yongzheng reviewed the memorials in the Hall of Qinzheng every morning, summoned the ministers, and dealt with government affairs. By the time they arrived, they had already gone to court, so they had breakfast.

So it didn't take long before she was summoned in. Xiyan was still very nervous when she saw Yongzheng for the first time. She followed Yunmi step by step throughout the whole process, and greeted An respectfully, until she heard: "Get up," although the voice It's not big, but it's majestic enough, with the deterrent power of an emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Yongzheng just came back from a walk after having breakfast, so the meeting is in a relaxed state. After paying his respects, Xiyan raised her head and saw the 56-year-old Yongzheng Emperor. He was as old as he imagined. It also has the power of an emperor that makes people tremble.

After Emperor Yongzheng looked at her carefully, he asked, "Are you Lianxi's younger sister? Haiwang's second daughter?"

"The minister's daughter-in-law Wu Ya's pity has seen the emperor."

Seeing that she was about to kneel again, Yongzheng waved his hand: "Okay, my family doesn't need so many rules. You two, one has a broken head and the other has a cold, are you all healed now?"

Yun Mi cupped her hands in embarrassment: "If you go back to Brother Huang, everything will be fine."

"Well, you, Fujin, are quite dexterous. Although you don't look like my nobleman Lian, you still have the demeanor of the Wuya family. How old are you?"

"If you go back to the emperor, my daughter-in-law will be fourteen this year."

"Well, it's still young, it will be even better when you open it, Yun Mi,"

"Brother Emperor, my younger brother is here."

"Treat me well, I will marry you at the age of 14, from now on, I will spend most of my life with you through thick and thin!"

"Yes, my younger brother should keep it in mind."

"Okay, you stay here, Wu Yashi will go with Su Gonggong to Concubine Xi's place, kneel down."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is leaving."

Eunuch Su is Su Peisheng, the first chief eunuch next to the emperor. Although he is a eunuch, he has a tall and straight figure. Although he has no beard on his face, and although he speaks softly, he is full of momentum. He puts himself in a very upright position and treats her politely. , she dared not be negligent.

Because of the holy face today, she was wearing a formal flag dress and flowerpot-soled shoes, so she got into the sedan chair as soon as she left the Qinzheng Hall.

Unexpectedly, on the way, he ran into Prince Bao Fujin Fucha's family. At the invitation of Fucha's family, Su Peisheng handed over Xiyan to her to lead the way.

The Fucha family is the daughter of the Hubei general Chang Ming. She was dignified and beautiful. Her mother Guo Er'e and the imperial concubine Niu Colu were very good neighbors when they were young. The mother and daughter were often called into the palace by the imperial concubine to play. .The imperial concubine liked the Fucha family very much, and often gave her things as rewards. Later, Chang Ming took his family members to Hubei as generals, and the imperial concubine often talked about them.

Inadvertently mentioned to Yongzheng, the emperor said: "Since you like his daughter, why don't you marry Hongli to be your daughter-in-law? Wouldn't it be possible to meet every day?" It was this sentence that reminded Niu Gulu, Therefore, the Fucha clan became Prince Bao's heir Fujin.

Of course, this is just a theory, and there is another theory that Yongzheng fell in love with the Fucha family in the 11th draft, and then somehow gave her a marriage to Hongli. It is true that Yongzheng likes it.

When I saw her today, she was really charming and charming, and I called her little aunt one by one. Even though she was a year or two older than her, it was fun to call her little aunt according to her seniority.

The two of them held up the curtain of the sedan chair with their companions, while chatting, they walked towards Concubine Xi's garden.

It was midsummer, the sun was shining in the sky, and it was very sweltering, but walking along the way, the shade of the trees was deep and the breeze was blowing, and I felt refreshed even my chest.

They were sitting in a sedan chair, just looking at the scenery all the way, and unknowingly came to a cool place, this is the Qinghe Garden where Concubine Xi lives, and there is a lotus pond next to it, it is extremely beautiful.

Su Mei Su He helped Xi Yan who was stepping on the bottom of the flowerpot to get off the sedan chair, there was already a maid waiting for them at the door, when she looked up, the yard was full of bamboo forests, she could hear the wind blowing bamboo leaves, and the bamboo leaves on the tops There are also golden bells hanging, and the sound of jingling bells is very pleasant.

This is also a lotus garden and a bamboo grove, which is enough to show that Concubine Xi is an elegant person, and the fact that she can get such a cool and cool place is naturally because of the royal family, who is worthy of the imperial concubine Niu Gulu who gave birth to Hongli.
