My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 161 Xuanzhu Garden

On the other side, the palace servants of Yingchun Pavilion were trying their best to coax the displeased Lu Ronghua.

They had all the nice words, but Lu Ronghua didn't even show a smile.

"Since we've arrived at Xihua Garden, Madam, do you want to go elsewhere? You can board a boat on Banyue Lake at any time, and most of the peach blossoms in the garden are in bloom..."

"Do you treat me as if you have never seen the world before, and you have to come back to Xihua Garden for a while?" Lu Ronghua lowered his face and reprimanded: "Which time does the emperor leave the palace without me, I am tired of looking at these scenery. !"

If accompanied by the emperor, it would be more interesting.

Just when her eldest maid Xiaoyu was in a hurry, an eunuch who wanted to win the favor of her master had an idea: "The Xuanzhu Garden, which has just been repaired, is not far from Yingchun Pavilion. It is a garden that has not existed in previous years. Your empress should be If you haven’t been there, wait for your empress to see it for a fresh one, the servant has seen it before, the trees are shady inside, what a novel and ingenious idea.”

After hearing what he said, Lu Ronghua smiled contemptuously: "If you say that you have bred a new orchid style, I can still believe you, but is there anything new in Beijing?"

A daughter of a family born and raised at the foot of the imperial city, she has a very broad vision.

The eunuch sighed and said: "There are many new gardens in Xihua Garden. The emperor will definitely come to have a look. The empress has seen it first, and then I will talk to the emperor later. Isn't there a topic? Or maybe the emperor goes to Xuanyuan. In the candle garden, if you ask which concubine has been here, the empress will take the lead."

As a eunuch, you will know how to figure out what you want!After hearing this, Lu Ronghua was moved: "Since you have said so well about Xuanzhuyuan, I will reluctantly take a look at it. If it is boring, I don't need to serve you in front of me."

……

Xuanzhuyuan and Yingchun Pavilion are adjacent to each other, and you can reach it by crossing a small bridge.

Most of Yanchi’s garden walls are round gates, but Xuanzhu Garden is separated by high guardrails. Each fence is hollow, allowing you to glimpse the scenery inside. The guardrails are painted with off-white paint, made of lacquer bark The sticky juice in it is made by adding pigments.The gate is an arch, and the most unique thing is that the arch is full of lush flowers and plants. The pink flowers are blooming just right, competing to burst out of stamens, which has never been seen in Yanchi Garden, which is prevalent in the reserved style.

When I first entered Xuanzhu Garden, I saw that the flowers on both sides had abandoned the dull flower pots. The eunuch cut down the thick trees, dug rectangular pits in the trunks, drilled grooves and holes, and planted them in shallow-rooted plants. flower.

At first glance, nothing is unnatural.

There is no difficulty in crafting the tree pots, but it is difficult for the royal craftsmen to spend labor.In ancient times, there was a lack of efficient anti-corrosion methods, and the tree pots had to be replaced frequently to maintain the best ornamental state, which was very expensive, but this was not a problem for the emperor's garden at all.

Walking inside, Lu Ronghua saw a green foreign object——

If you look closely, it turns out that the shape of a modern fountain has been adopted, and the water in the fountain has been replaced by a variety of flowers and plants. The green and round leaves of the Buddha bead hanging orchid hang down like pearls, taking the image of water flowing down.

There is also a "flower wall", where Chaoyan flowers bloom quietly on the vertical flower bed, which is too beautiful to behold.

The eunuch smiled and said, "The wooden frame that can be put into the soil is a blueprint sent from the palace. When the slave saw it for the first time, his jaw dropped to the ground in shock!"

Lu Ronghua was speechless for a long time.

Then, walking inside, there is a circle of wooden tables and chairs around a towering tree.

Interestingly, the tables and chairs are deliberately old-fashioned, so that their color is very close to the tree body, and the bottom is carved with thick and intertwined branches, as if the tables and chairs are all because of the spirit of the big tree. , specially reserved seats for visitors.

The wind was blowing, and the shadows of the trees were shaking, all of which were old trees welcoming visitors.

"It's passable here."

Only halfway through the walk, Lu Ronghua was already happy.

But she has always been stubborn and self-confident, so she only gave a qualified evaluation.The palace maid Xiaoyu knew her master very well, and she immediately jokingly said, "It's very close to Xuanzhu Garden from Yingchun Pavilion, no wonder the emperor specially reserved Yingchun Pavilion for the empress, it turns out there is some deep meaning behind it!"

This can be said to Lu Ronghua's heart, she originally disliked that what she was allotted was only a pavilion... Even if it was very spacious, it was only a pavilion, not worthy of her.Now that Yingchun Pavilion is not without benefits, and the court ladies and eunuchs flattered her again, she couldn't help feeling a little complacent, with a three-point smile on her lips.

The mood was just right, and she ran into a concubine-colored figure at the corner.

Seeing the person coming, Lu Ronghua's expression changed.

But the other party didn't think it was disobedient, and looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to salute, but she paused for a few seconds, and then bowed unwillingly: "The concubine has met Sister Zhaoyi, please greet Sister Zhaoyi."
As for the person Lu Ronghua least wanted to see in the harem, Concubine Rong had to move back.

From her point of view, Concubine Rong has a lot of background and a noble background. Before she entered the palace, she dominated her. She was also used to the concubine's arrogance, but Gu Zhaoyi was different. Lu Ronghua watched the other party step by step from a little-known little promise It is even more uncomfortable for those who have been promoted to be caught up from behind.

Lu Ronghua didn't want to greet her, didn't want to salute her.

It's just that the rules are here, she can only bow.

Jiang Xian: "Get up."

Even if Jiang Xian didn't embarrass her, Lu Ronghua couldn't help but feel resentment when he yelled almost in a second.

What a shame!

Because she was angry, Lu Ronghua couldn't help but want to take advantage of her mouth. She caught a glimpse of Jiang Xian holding a pair of big scissors and said, "Gu Zhaoyi doesn't know something. This concubine of Xuanzhuyuan didn't have it in previous years. I think it is It was newly repaired this year, and before the emperor came to see it, Gu Zhaoyi took a pair of scissors and cut it everywhere... I'm afraid it's not right," she added: "The concubine is also kind, I don't want Gu Zhaoyi to spoil the emperor's elegance!"

She's really a local girl from the countryside, and she has never seen anything good.

Lu Ronghua looked at the Xuanzhu Garden all the way, but there are actually no fresh flowers. What is rare is the ingenuity and novelty of the layout. Mrs. Jiang came to destroy the flowers with a big pair of scissors...: "If Gu Zhaoyi wants to pick some flowers and put them back In a bottle, it’s the same as picking it elsewhere, and it’s not a rare thing.”

Lu Ronghua's words set him up as a knowledgeable person.

After hearing her finish, Jiang Xian smiled: "So, Lu Ronghua has been visiting Xuanzhu Garden for quite a while?"

"It came earlier than you." Lu Ronghua said.

"What does Lu Ronghua think of this garden?"

Hearing Gu Zhaoyi's question, Lu Ronghua was sure that she didn't understand anything: "Gu Zhaoyi has never seen this new style of courtyard before! There are many ways in it, and the concubine knows a thing or two, so I can talk to Gu Zhaoyi."

This and two, it all depends on the eunuch of Xihua Garden explaining while walking around just now.
