Chapter 14: The Imperial Garden
In the early morning in the summer palace, it was busy early in the morning, Wen Xu and Min Yan got up early, and under the waiting of the palace maids, they quickly freshened up and waited for the arrival of their grandmother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Min Yan and Wen Su were drinking tea in the hall while waiting for Mama.
Wen Su gracefully picked up the teacup, took the lid of the cup and gently patted the green tea leaves floating on the tea, took a sip lightly on the edge of the cup, the fragrance of the tea spread in the mouth, and a satisfied smile floated on Wen Su's face.
"Su'er, what's the matter, smiling so happily?" Min Yan was sitting in the hall with a listless face, and when she saw Wen Su's smile, she was also curious.
Wen Xu saw Min Yan's curiosity, and the smile on his face deepened. "Sister Min Yan, I'm thinking, it's still good for us to come to this palace, you see this tea, but it's all offered from all over the world, and it's not sold on the market, why don't you try it too?"
Seeing Wen Yan say this, Min Yan took a big sip of the teacup on the table, poof, Min Yan spit out the tea that had not yet entered his throat, and fanned the wind with his hand while sticking out his tongue with his mouth open, "Ah! scald me to death, what kind of tea is this, Su'er, did you do it on purpose?" Min Yan took a sip, it was really hot, and the palace maid on the side saw this situation, and she had already run out to serve cold tea.
Wen Xu was originally very worried when she saw that Min Yan was burning, but seeing that she could still blame people, her heart slowly lowered again, "Sister Min Yan, you have wronged me, I really think this tea is delicious." Wen Su explained aggrievedly while holding back laughter, which was really hard.
Min Yan only stopped talking when she heard this, knowing that it was her own fault, but today was really unfortunate, there was nothing good early in the morning, I don't know if there were any bad things waiting for her after Mama came, the more Min Yan thought about it, the more depressed she became, and her face looked weak.
Seeing her like this, Wen Su still felt a little self-blaming in her heart, and she couldn't help but worry. "Sister Min Yan, are you okay?"
Seeing that Wen Su was worried, Min Yan smiled at her reluctantly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I am worried about these rules in the palace." ”
At this moment, the palace maid outside came to report that the palace grandmother had arrived.
"Slaves and maids see the crown princess, the crown princess is auspicious. ”
"Mama, please. Min Yan stepped down from the seat, helped the grandmother up from the ground, and instructed the palace maid to watch the seat for the grandmother. In this palace, there is no need to say that the status of the palace grandmother is self-explanatory, and there is still some weight among the palace maids and eunuchs, so Min Yan naturally will not put up a fight against this palace grandmother, isn't that self-defeating?
"Slave and maid thank Niangniang for her love. After the palace grandmother saluted Wen Su, she sat on the stool next to her with the support of the palace maid.
As soon as Mama Gong sat down, Min Yan asked about today's arrangement, "Mama, what do we all have to learn today, Mama, can you describe it roughly, I have a good number in my heart." ”
"Back to the crown princess, today is mainly to teach the crown princess some etiquette and some wedding customs, and Miss Wen Su doesn't have to learn these today. Gong Mama replied respectfully, although Min Yan was very polite to her, but the gift of master and servant should not be abolished, the master is the master, the slave is the slave, how can it be overcome, in the palace for so many years, the palace Mama is clear about the rules of this palace.
The meaning of Wen Su's words is already very obvious, and the thing that Mama wants to teach Min Yan later is that she, an unmarried woman, should not be present, and she can't wait to be free and go out to breathe. "Sister Min Yan, Su'er has been bored in a panic these days, and wants to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, please ask my sister for permission. ”
Min Yan is also a smart woman, and naturally knows that the intention of Wen Su's words is to give herself and her grandmother face, although she is now the master of this summer palace, although she really wants Xu'er to stay with her, but Gong Mama's face cannot be refuted. "Okay, you've been in the palace for so many days, and it's time to go out for a walk, and I ordered a few palace maids to accompany you. ”
When Min Yan saw a few palace maids standing in the hall, he called a few casually and went to the imperial garden with Wen Su for a stroll.
"Sister Min Yan, Mama Gong, Su'er retired. ”
Wen Su in the company of several palace maids, came to the prestigious Imperial Garden, I have long heard Min Yan say that the scenery of the Imperial Garden is pleasant, today I saw it is really extraordinary.
The garden is full of a variety of exotic plants and flowers, and flowers that bloom in all seasons can be seen in this garden, so no matter what season it is, the garden is fragrant and beautiful. There is also a pavilion in the flowers of the Imperial Garden, and there is a pavilion about fifty meters apart, and the pavilion is surrounded by a veil, which is tied to the pillars and is not unfolded at this time.
Due to the large area, the Imperial Garden is separated by rockeries, and each pavilion is separated by rockeries. There is a large artificial lake in the corner of the Imperial Garden, and there are lotus flowers planted in the lake, and now is the time for the lotus leaf fields, and it is estimated that there will be early lotus blooming in May, and you can see a piece of greenery as far as the eye can see. There is also a pavilion in the middle of the lake, which is no different from the other pavilions in the garden, but is connected by a curved corridor made of wooden planks, and to get to the pavilion, you need to pass through this corridor.
The lake is surrounded by bluestone trails, surrounding the entire lake, perhaps it is convenient to enjoy the lake scenery, and the lake is surrounded by a case of bent green willows, willow leaves, graceful posture. In Nanqin, the figure of the willow tree seems to be everywhere, gentle and delicate.
This imperial garden is far away from the palace, so it is very quiet, and Wen Su can't help but stop here to feel this tranquility.
"Go down first, I'll walk here alone. "Wen Xu wants to stay here for a while, it's a bit awkward to have so many palace maids around her.
