Chapter 107: Entering the Palace
Since getting into the carriage, Mei Yixuan closed his eyes and opened his senses, probing the movements around him, and also taking the opportunity to get rid of the meaningful glances of the eldest lady and Mei Yingxuan's mother and daughter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The eldest lady's vicious gaze swept over Mei Yixuan, glanced at her daughter Mei Yingxuan comfortingly, signaled her not to make trouble, and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
Mei Yingxuan naturally understood her mother's intentions, thinking that she was punished by her grandmother for copying scriptures because of worshipping Mei Yixuan, and Mei Yixuan actually had the creation of marrying into the royal family, she couldn't help but feel jealous and hateful, and she couldn't help tearing apart the peerless face in front of her.
Mei Yixuan ignored the murderous eye knives of the mother and daughter, but his divine sense found Zhao Erli's figure on the street where Mei's mansion was located, although it was fleeting, Mei Yixuan was sure that he would not be mistaken.
Thinking of the fact that he asked them to buy real estate and resettle the Yao family, could there be any changes? If things had changed, he should have left the house again in the near future. It's just that this point in ancient times was too bad, and without a suitable reason, I couldn't leave the house at all.
She didn't know that the eldest lady was also racking her brains to provide her with a reasonable reason to leave the mansion, and she would soon have a reason to leave the mansion.
In Mei Yixuan's seemingly closed eyes and contemplation, the carriage soon arrived at the south gate of the imperial city.
Located in the heart of Kyoto, the Imperial Palace is a vast complex of buildings with red walls and yellow tiles. The whole imperial city palace is numerous, the landscape is dense, scattered, magnificent. There are not only tall and majestic palaces, but also blue bricks and gray tile courtyards, both rippling sea views, and tall and beautiful mountain views, without leaving the imperial city, the members of the royal family can enjoy different scenery.
The imperial city is surrounded by tall and majestic city walls, the walls are red, and the top is covered with yellow glazed tiles. It is said that the wall is eight feet high, six feet five inches wide at the bottom, and five feet two inches wide at the top, and the circumference of the wall is eighteen miles. There are also barrel rivers on all sides, and there are corner towers at the four corners, which guard the safety of the imperial city.
The South Gate is the main gate of the Imperial City and has three gates. The main gate is the main gate of Li, the east is the civilization gate, and the west is the Shuncheng gate. At the south gate, a team of Praetorian Guards dressed in strong uniforms and with swords hanging from their waists, looked at the carriage where the eldest lady and others were located.
Mei Yixuan followed the eldest lady and Mei Yingxuan to get off the carriage at the south gate, and took out the seal letter of the Mei Mansion at the Shuncheng Gate.
And the maids and guards are not qualified to enter the palace, so they can only wait outside.
The palace gate is still a short distance from the Kunning Palace where the queen is located, and the three of them can only walk along the long road. Mei Yixuan didn't have anything, and took time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the palace with his spare light along the way. It's just that the eldest lady and Mei Yingxuan are pampered, both of them are used to being pampered, where have they walked so much? Fortunately, when the two of them were panting, a second-class palace maid in a green dress not far away, with three plain drapery sedan chairs, was waiting there.
When the eldest lady approached, the palace maid asked with a faint face: "But Mrs. Mei of Meifu?"
The eldest lady barely stabilized her figure, took a deep breath, and replied respectfully: "It is the concubine body, our mother and daughter were summoned by the queen's mother, and asked the aunt to lead the way for the concubine, a lot of kind words." As he spoke, he stuffed a purse without a trace, and smiled very humbly.
She knows very well that the king of Hades is difficult to see little ghosts, don't underestimate the little people in the palace, bad things are often in the inadvertent words of the little people, so she stuffed enough silver taels today, hoping that this second-class palace maid can mention herself.
Sure enough, the palace maid touched the thin piece of paper in her purse, and knew that it was a silver ticket, so her attitude immediately changed, and she had a smile on her face, and whispered: "Don't worry." “
Only then did the eldest lady settle down and let out a long sigh. Although the little father-in-law in the palace revealed the news yesterday, she was still not sure, afraid that this "good thing" would change, and she would put her daughter in, she had no intention of letting her daughter marry into the royal family.
At this time, the palace maid's big eyes rolled, and she glanced at Mei Yixuan and Mei Yingxuan with a smile, and asked, "These two are the daughters of the house, right?"
The eldest lady naturally knew the intention of the palace maid, and immediately introduced: "This is the eldest daughter Yixuan, and this is the second daughter Yingxuan." “
Mei Yixuan was using it as a background wall, and when she heard it, she had to bow respectfully: "Yixuan has seen my aunt!"
Mei Yingxuan also gave a salute: "Yingxuan has seen my aunt!"
The palace maid couldn't help but glance at Mei Yixuan more, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "The two girls are naturally beautiful and have a blue heart, which is really enviable." “
The eldest lady said humbly: "My aunt praised it falsely, and her rough appearance made my aunt smile." “
While laughing, the three of them got on the sedan chair, and under the guidance of the palace maid, they went all the way to Kunning Palace.
Through the gap in the sedan curtain, Mei Yixuan watched the splendid palaces and the scattered royal gardens along the way, and felt like she was in the Forbidden City. In the distance, a tall and majestic, Qiongtai jade pavilion-like palace came into view. She knew that it was Kunning Palace.
It is reported that the name of Kunning Palace is taken from the "Tao Te Ching": in the past, the sky was clear, the earth was clear, the gods were spiritual, the valley was surplus, all things were born, and the king of Hou was one and thought that the world was right.
In ancient times, the status of the queen is opposite to the emperor, is the most noble among the women in the world, the emperor is the sky, the queen is the earth, the emperor is Qian, the queen is Kun, the queen is also the only one in the world, the queen's bedroom is taken from the sentence Kun Deyi Ning, so the name Kunning Palace. In the same way, the sky is clear, and the emperor's bedroom is called Qianqing Palace.
Mei Yixuan got off the sedan chair in front of Kunning Palace, and quickly glanced around with the corner of his eye, and had a general understanding of Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace sits in the north and faces south, faces nine corridors, yellow glazed tiles, heavy eaves, and the top of the palace. The roof building is a "four-out-of-water" five-ridge and four-slope type, which is composed of a normal ridge and four vertical ridges, and is the highest level among the roof buildings in China.
The top of the palace is divided into two kinds of single eaves and heavy eaves, the so-called heavy eaves, that is, under the above-mentioned roof, each of the four corners adds a short eaves, forming the second eaves. Most of the palaces where the emperor and empress lived were heavy eaves.
As we approached, the exquisite and gorgeous decorations in the Kunning Palace and the exquisite carvings of the window sashes all showed the status of the most noble woman in the world.
At the gate of Kunning Palace, the eldest lady, Mei Yingxuan and Mei Yixuan stopped, and the second-class palace maid went in to report.
After a while, the palace maid went and returned, and whispered, "Mrs. Mei, please come with me." “
The eldest lady nodded, and walked into Kunning Palace with Mei Yixuan and Mei Yingxuan.
In addition to the east and west two bright rooms, the east side of the interior is separated by a warm pavilion as the queen's bedroom. The other rooms were separated and served as the queen's usual residence and royal worship place.
They followed the palace maid into the bright room located in the Xinuan Pavilion, where the queen was already sitting on a high seat, looking down majestically at the mother and daughter who came in. (To be continued.) )
