Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 370 Chengqian Palace

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the maids were busy in and out under the command of the female officials, preparing for the banquet that started at noon.

Zhu Youjian, who was dressed in casual clothes, was teasing Brother Shui in the bedroom, while Zhou Hou, who was dressed in fancy clothes, sat aside and looked at the father and son with a smile.

Today is Brother Shui's [-]th birthday, Zhu Youjian ordered a banquet to celebrate, and specially ordered Jiadingbo's family to enter the palace for the banquet, also wanting to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to reunite their family Fan.

Zhou Hou was grateful to her husband for being so considerate and considerate, and at the same time, she also asked Zhu Youjian why the father and brother of Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan should not enter the palace together. Seeing strangers become popular, so as not to have the suspicion of favoring one over another.

Zhu Youjian thought about the same thing. Originally, he wanted to hold a hundred-day banquet for the other two palaces alone, but now he might as well recruit them into the palace together to have fun. Let's all say hello to celebrate a year earlier, anyway, nothing major is happening now.

At this time, all the yamen in the capital have been sealed for holiday on Xiaonian Day.

From Xungui's mansion to small households, almost all households are busy buying new year's goods, cleaning, and buying new clothes.

The major markets in the four cities of the capital and various shops on the streets are in a booming business, and a variety of commodities are in a state of hot sale.

The men, women and children in the streets and alleys are all beaming, especially the common people, the smiles on their faces reveal their satisfaction with the status quo and their longing for the future, and laughter fills every corner of the capital.

"Father, Father, when will you take me out of the palace again? Huh? Brother Shui woke up!? I want to hug Brother Shui too! Give me, give me!"

With a burst of cheerful shouts, Kun Xing ran in from outside the hall with a smile on his face. When he saw Brother Shui in Zhu Youjian's arms, Kun Xing rushed over with a shout of joy.

"Kun Xing! How old are you and you still don't understand etiquette?! Where did all the learning go?!"

Zhou Hou frowned and scolded Kun Xing.

Kun Xing has turned seven years old this year. Since last year, Zhou Hou has asked the female officials in the palace to teach her various etiquettes in turn, trying to restrain her lively and active temperament, but the result is backfired.

Kun Xing, who has been spoiled by Zhu Youjian, has been playing wild for a long time. He can't stand all kinds of red tape, and he starts to pretend to be sick after only two etiquette classes.

After being exposed mercilessly by Zhou Hou and hitting him a few times, Kunxing pretended to be obedient and obedient, but after confirming that Zhou Hou had gone to Concubine Yuan's place, she found an excuse to slip out of the harem and ran straight away. Went to the Qianqing Palace ahead to find Zhu Youjian to file a complaint.

After Zhu Youjian learned the whole story, he couldn't laugh or cry. After he promised Kun Xing, whose eyes were swollen from crying, to take her out of the palace to play, he took the time to communicate with Zhou Hou again, and finally cut Kun Xing's etiquette class. Most of the time, and finally provoked Zhou Houyi to complain.

"Wait, wait! Don't snatch, don't snatch! Brother Shui is young and can't stand bumps! Kunxing, you are still weak, if you can't hold him steady and knock Shui brother, it will be a big deal!"

Zhu Youjian hurriedly held Brother Shui and stood up to avoid Kunxing who rushed over, while explaining to Kunxing.

"Kunxing is so strong! Last time King Ding wanted to snatch my puppet, but I pushed him back all at once! Father, Kunxing is so happy, Brother Shui! But after coming here several times, the queen mother never let Kunxing Hug him, father, can you let Kunxing hug him?!"

Seeing Kunxing staring at him eagerly with his small face up, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to sit back on the brocade couch again, and carefully placed Brother Shui, who was watching him with black and white eyes, into Kunxing's mouth. In his arms, a pair of big hands secretly protected him.

Kun Xing was not as reckless as Zhu Youjian imagined, but imitating the appearance of an adult, he hugged the infant Shui Geer naturally, and then looked at Shui Geer's tender body with eyes full of love. With a face, he muttered in his mouth: "Brother Shui, grow up quickly. In the future, Huangjie will take you out of the palace to eat a lot of food and buy you a lot of dolls. Huangjie has a lot of silver!"

Brother Shui looked at Kun Xing curiously with his big eyes flashing, and suddenly he stretched out his small hand and grabbed her by the hair, pulled her hard into his arms, grinned and giggled, Kun Xing On the other hand, he cried out with a wow under the unbearable pain, but the arm holding Brother Shui did not let go.

Zhu Youjian hurriedly grabbed a puppet on the brocade couch and held it in front of Shui Geer's eyes. Shui Geer's eyes lit up, and he immediately let go of his little hand and snatched the puppet over.

The nurse at the side hurried forward to pick up Brother Shui, and Zhou Hou sat there smiling without saying a word.

Zhu Youjian stood up, stroking Kunxing's little head and said with a smile, "Don't cry, don't cry! I won't dare to hug Brother Shui again next time. A baby this big will want everything he sees. Grab it in your hands, both father and mother were caught by brother Shui! Hahaha! I didn’t expect my family, Kunxing, to suffer such a big loss today! Let’s go, father will take you to Chengqian Palace! "

Kun Xing wiped his tears with his hand, grabbed Zhu Youjian's big hand with the other hand, and followed Zhu Youjian to the outside of the hall, looking back at Brother Shui in the nurse's arms from time to time as he walked, A look of reluctance.

Chengqian Palace is located on the east side of Kunning Palace. Although the two palaces are not far apart, compared with the upright and solemn Kunning Palace, the courtyard of Chengqian Palace has a different scenery.

With the substantial increase in the income of internal funds, Zhu Youjian will not treat his family badly, and the expenses of the palaces have also risen. From the nobles to the ladies, the various treatments have also been greatly improved. It can also be regarded as a kind of compensation for the embarrassing life of the palaces for several years.

The multi-talented Concubine Tian Gui didn't spend recklessly because she had a lot of money, and she didn't spend it on buying a lot of jewelry and makeup, but carried out a large-scale renovation of Chengqian Palace ingeniously.

Under her own design and drawing and command, Chengqian Palace was rebuilt with reference to the model of Yangzhou gardens, and was basically completed in the first half of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

Being in the brand-new Chengqian Palace, one feels as if you have come to the prosperous and prosperous scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

The rockery ponds, flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are arranged exquisitely and uniquely. The winding corridors avoid the invasion of wind, snow and scorching sun.

At first, Zhu Youjian took a wait-and-see attitude towards Concubine Tian Gui's actions, but after the prototype of Chengqian Palace took shape after the reconstruction, Zhu Youjian couldn't help giving a thumbs up to Concubine Tian Gui's talent.

After the complete reconstruction of Chengqian Palace was completed, from Zhu Youjian to Zhouhou, Concubine Yuan Gui, and even Empress Yi'an, they all praised Concubine Tian Gui's ingenuity, and Chengqian Palace immediately became the most willing place for nobles in the harem to come. place.

It stands to reason that the nobles are not people who have never seen the world, but the majestic and magnificent scenery of Xiyuan makes people feel a little tired after a long time, but the quiet and beautiful scenery of Chengqian Palace like a virgin in the south of the Yangtze River makes everyone never get tired of it.

The more critical point is that Chengqian Palace is too close to Kunning Palace and Yikun Palace.

After the nobles in the palace had dinner, they took advantage of the time to take a walk to digest their food, and then they would come over for a stroll, and then get together to discuss some family affairs. After a long time, the atmosphere in the entire harem became more harmonious and peaceful stand up.

"Xiuying, why don't you just listen to my father's words? In this palace, except for the empress, all the other concubines are servants of color. You are already in your thirties now, and it is inevitable for you to age and lose your color." The only way out now is to think of another way to retain the position! Your elder brother has worked so hard to find such a beautiful woman. If he can be sent to the palace, the emperor will be very happy, and your seat in the palace will be very happy. It is more stable, if you can take the opportunity to make some requests, can the emperor not agree?"

The handsome Tian Hongyu with thick eyebrows and big eyes sat on the brocade couch, and persuaded Concubine Tian Gui who was teasing the baby with earnest words.
