Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 154 Qingxi Bookstore and Hehuan Hall (additional update for members, [-]st update)
The warm sedan chair soon arrived at the place where Kangxi had lived since Changchun Garden was built.

Qingxi Bookstore.

At that time, Kangxi chose Qingxi Bookstore as his residence in Changchun Garden because Qingxi Bookstore had a good location, was clean, and had good surrounding scenery.

The main hall of Qingxi Bookstore has seven rooms, the back building has five rooms, the Dongshun mountain room has five rooms, and the Xishun mountain room has ten rooms.It is the largest residence in the entire Changchun Garden.

Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and entered the courtyard of Qingxi Bookstore.

Wei Zhu had been waiting in the yard with Nurse Gu and other servants since early in the morning.

"I'm waiting to bow down to Lord Long Live and to bow down to Lady Shu." Wei Zhu took the lead and said.

"Have you packed everything?" Kangxi pulled Wanxian into the door of Qingxi Bookstore.The main room of Qingxi Bookstore is still decorated like the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"The east room is still where I handle government affairs, and the west room is where we sleep." Kangxi pulled Wanxian into the west room and said.

Wanxian looked at the furnishings in the west room, which were fresher and more comfortable than those in the palace.Wanxian nodded and said, "I see, this seems to be much more comfortable than in the palace."

"Are you tired? Let's have lunch earlier and take a good rest." Kangxi nodded Wanxian's nose and said.

Wanxian took Kangxi's hand and said coquettishly: "For lunch, I want to have something lighter."

Kangxi touched Wanxian's hand and said, "It's up to you. Go down and get ready."

Kangxi signaled his servants to go down and prepare.Liang Jiugong, who had just entered the palace, quickly ordered the servants to go down.

"Here, I'll take you to the back to have a look." Kangxi said, pulling Wanxian out of the west room and towards the back yard.

Compared with the palaces in the Forbidden City where flowers and plants are rare, there are flowers and plants everywhere in Changchun Garden.It's still winter now, and the flowers and plants in the yard are gradually blooming.

"Liang Jiugong, call the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to build a swing here." Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and pointed to the open space in the yard.

"Come on, I will give you the instructions properly." Liang Jiugong said respectfully.

Wanxian looked at the whole courtyard and said to Kangxi: "Long live Lord, what is behind this?"

"Returning to your Majesty, this is Baoxia, with five houses."

"Really?" Wanxian pulled Kangxi towards Baoxia.As soon as she walked into Baoxia and saw the layout and furnishings, Wanxian liked it very much.

"Long live Lord, I like this, why don't we live here." Wanxian pulled Kangxi and walked around the five rooms in Baoxia.The five rooms in this building are much better than the west room in the main hall.

Kangxi let Wanxian pull him around. When he heard Wanxian say that he liked it here, he said, "If you like it, we can live here. Everything on the left and right is ready-made."

"Then let's live here. It's good for the future. But living like that is no different from living in the palace. Let's live in a different way." Wanxian took Kangxi and sat in the main hall of the building.

"It's fine if you like it, but I have to give this Baoxia a nice name." Kangxi said, sitting at the top, looking at the layout of the Baoxia.

Wanxian quickly said happily: "Okay, okay, what's your name?"

"Don't worry, this is the place where we will live in the future. We must think of a name with a good meaning." Kangxi thought for a moment and then said: "Albizia can relieve worries, and daylily can forget worries. Hehuan Hall, let's call it Hehuan Hall."

"Okay, it's best for Long Live Lord to get a name." Wanxian clapped her hands happily and came to Kangxi's side.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait until we get down. After I write on it again, I will ask my servants to place the plaque and hang it up." Kangxi said.

"Okay, I will listen to Master Long Live." Wan Xian said happily.

Liang Jiugong came in from outside the door and said, "Long live Lord Qi and Queen Qi Shu, the meal has been prepared. Please have a meal, Master."

"Let's go have a meal." Kangxi stood up and extended his hand to Wanxian.

Wanxian happily placed her hand on Kangxi's palm, and the two walked side by side to the west room of the main hall.

……

"Ah." Wanxian sat on the bed, yawned and stretched.

"Mother, are you awake?" Nanny Gu was sitting on the footboard. When she heard the movement inside the bed, she immediately lifted the bed curtain.Wanxian rubbed her eyes and asked, "Nanny, where is the Long Live Master?"

"Replying to the Queen, it was a quarter of an hour ago. The Crown Prince came to say hello to Lord Long Live, and Lord Long Live got up and went to the front hall." Nanny Gu knelt down to put on Wanxian's shoes.

Wanxian pulled up Nanny Gu and said, "Nanny, get up. You don't need to do these tasks from now on. I'll let Yunxia and the others do these things from now on. You are old and it's time to take care of yourself."

"The nanny can't be idle all the time. These are just the simplest tasks." Nanny Gu said, and still helped Wanxian put on the bottom of the flowerpot.

When Wanxian was sitting in front of and behind the dressing table, Nanny Gu said to the outside: "Your Majesty, please come in and serve me."

As soon as the door opened, Yunxia, ​​Qiaoguo and others approached Wanxian with toiletries.

Wanxian took the towel and wiped her face and hands.

After Wanxian finished washing, Qiaoguo and Yunxiayou quickly presented jewelry for Wanxian to choose from.

"Nanny, help me comb my hair in a simpler style. Now in the garden, don't comb it so complicatedly." Wanxian said while sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Okay, let's do a simpler hair style." Nanny Gu said while combing Wanxian's hair.With her hands, she quickly gave Wanxian a small hair, and because she was still in the new year, she deliberately gathered a few brightly colored velvet flowers on her head.

Wanxian took the initiative to put a layer of rouge on her face.

"Is the prince still ahead?" Wanxian left her inner room and walked to the door of Hehuan Hall and asked casually.

The young eunuch who was guarding the gate quickly replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, the Crown Prince is still talking to Lord Long Live in the East Room."

It was a coincidence that Wei Zhu was coming back from outside.As soon as he saw Wanxian watching at the door, he immediately stepped forward to greet her and said, "Oh, Madam. It's windy outside. Madam, please be careful to keep out the cold. You'd better hurry up and sit in the back room."

Wanxian nodded and said: "I just have a look, it doesn't matter." Although she said this, Wanxian still returned to the main hall of Hehuan Hall and sat down.

"By the way, why is it that only the Crown Prince comes to pay his respects to Lord Long Live? Where are the other princes and elder brothers?" Wan Xian sat at the top and asked Wei Zhu strangely, who followed him through the door.

Wei Zhu quickly replied: "To tell you that the prince is the crown prince and he also lives in Changchun Garden. However, the prince wants to avoid suspicion and lives in Wuyizhai on the West Road. As for all the adult brothers, we have already separated. The government is here. So before entering Changchun Garden, you must first submit a sign to invite me."

"I see, now I understand." Wanxian said after taking the tea and taking a sip.

"Your Majesty is very lucky. I have been with Lord Long Live for so many years, but I have never seen any Queen living in this Qingxi Bookstore with Lord Long Live." Wei Zhu deliberately flattered Wanxian, so he only picked up nice things to say. A Wanxian listens.

Wanxian was very happy after hearing Wei Zhu's flattering words, but she thought of Concubine An and Concubine Bu, and said quickly: "Yunxia, ​​go to Concubine An and Concubine Bu and take a look at Concubine An and Concubine Bu. go."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to exclude Miss Yunxia. I have just returned from the ladies of the various palaces. Concubine An and Lady Bu are both fine." Wei Zhu said quickly.I just followed the order of Lord Long Live and went to check on the empresses of each palace.See if all the empresses in the palace have settled down.

"It doesn't matter, I just want Yunxia to go to Concubine An and recognize her. This will save me from not knowing the way when I go to find them." Wanxian explained to Wanxian.

Yunxia accepted the order and said: "Then slave will go now."

"Don't worry, there are some snacks in the tea room. You can bring some for Concubine An and Lady Bu to try." Wanxian thought about where to go with nothing, so she ordered.

"Then the servant will send a young eunuch to escort Miss Yunxia." Wei Zhu interrupted.

Wanxian nodded and said, "Then I'll help Eunuch Wei."

"I don't dare." After Wei Zhu said respectfully, he sent two eunuchs to escort Yunxia to Linxiangshancui.

Wanxian was not idle here either, listening to Wei Zhu talk about the residences of the ladies in each palace.

Concubine Tong Jia lived in Chunyong Hall of Shouxuan, Concubine Hui lived in Chunhui Hall, and Concubine Liang lived in Jiayin Hall, which is close to Chunhui Hall.Concubine Yi lived in Ruijingxuan, concubines lived in Yunya Pavilion, Concubine Rong lived in Yanshuang Tower, and Concubine An and Concubine Bu lived in Linxiang Shancui.The Empress Dowager lives in Ningchun Hall, surrounded by water.

Changchun Garden is divided into East Road, Middle Road, and West Road. Danning House and Qingxi Bookstore belong to the East Road, and the concubines all live in the Middle Road.

As for Wuyizhai on West Road and several residences near Wuyizhai, the prince and his wives and concubines lived there.

There is also a West Garden on the edge of the West Road. There are several underage brothers living in the West Garden, and there are large tracts of farmland and rice fields.
