Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Palace of the Spring Spring
Chapter 59 Tangquan Palace
To say that this Yao Mountain is really special, there is a shrine in front of the mountain where the golden statue of the sacred tree is located, which can be worshiped and worshiped by everyone. There are people on the side mountain who are thirsty, but only for the royal Yaoshan spring water. In the back mountain, there is also a hot spring flowing through the sacred tree, located in the valley. The royal palace was also built on the back hill. Such a mix and match, both forbidden and open, is really incomprehensible.
However, if it comes, it will be safe, and it will be followed. Xiaogong has a strong adaptability, and this ability to follow the local customs is not weak. She has been to the front mountain and the side mountain. This is also the first time she has come to the Royal Forbidden Garden.
She loves places of interest, and it's not like she's never seen royal gardens. It's just that the garden at that time did not have the majesty of the Royal Forbidden Garden, and it lacked a little bit of fun in it. Now I can feel the majesty of heaven, and the tension of my little heart is pounding, which is really fun.
Although the royal palace is in the back mountain, because of the temple in front of the mountain, it does not prevent pedestrians from entering the mountain or passing by the palace on weekdays. But as long as there is an emperor or other noble royal family living in the palace, an order will be issued to close the mountain. But the mountain will not be closed for too long, and the emperor will return to the palace after half a month at most. As for the crown prince and other princes, even if they have a will, they are no more than seven days.
The prince was weak, but he was often fortunate enough to enter the Tangquan Palace to recuperate. But it was only three or four days, no more than five days. The emperor didn't restrict anything, but the prince was reluctant to close the mountain from time to time, fearing that the people would not be able to enter the mountain to worship the golden statue of the sacred tree.
This time the mountain was closed, and everyone already knew it when they learned that the prince was going to choose a concubine. This is the rule, before the final selection, the candidates always have to enter the Yaoshan Tangquan to inform the sacred tree. The prince has always loved the people like a son, and everyone has no opinions. Besides, the woodcutters who rely on the mountains have already been compensated for three days of rest, who will complain.
Xiao Gong, who fell asleep in the early morning, only slept in a daze for less than an hour before being woken up by Xiao Lan. She was going to cheer up to deal with the trip to Tangquan Palace, but she backfired and was dizzy, and her sleepy eyes couldn't open to get up and clean up, waiting for Luo Zijin to leave. If she hadn't been in a hurry, Luo Zijin really wanted to leave her in the house to continue sleeping.
Xiao Gong is a maid, although she can be regarded as Luo Zijin's personal maid, but she can only walk with Xiao Lan outside the car. Fortunately, last time, she carried a bucket up and down the mountain seven times up and down, and this time the mountain was very easy for her. I followed in a daze, but I kept following it, and I didn't feel too tired on the way. It's just that Xiao Lan seems to be a little unaccustomed, and she will stumble after walking a few steps, and if she hadn't grabbed the little gong several times, she would definitely have to be on her heels.
Not to mention them, there were four other pampered ladies and maids, and the prince's car had been moving slowly ahead. If the whole team hadn't started earlier, I'm afraid everyone might not have been able to enter the Tangquan Palace at noon.
If the prince hadn't deliberately made the car drive slowly in order to pretend to be sick, the cars of the young ladies who followed behind would not have driven even slower. The prince pretended to be sick because he was used to it, and he slowly came to the point where he could endure it. It's just that Murong Shuo doesn't have the stamina and leisure he has, so he didn't have to go to Yao Mountain alone without a carriage or horse. At this moment, he must have been in the room of the palace and drank a few rounds of tea.
In the afternoon, everyone rushed to the palace one after another. As soon as the prince arrived, word came out, and Tern ordered the daughters not to come again to greet him. Everyone knew that the prince must have been unable to see people because of the fatigue of the journey, so they all tacitly thanked him and went back to the arranged room to tidy up. At this time, Xiao Gong gradually cheered up and went to the kitchen to prepare Luo Zijin's meal.
Originally, she was Luo Zijin's personal maid, and she didn't need to interfere in the kitchen. But who asked her to cook a good dish, and every dish is Luo Zijin's favorite food. Therefore, not to mention everything, she always has to cook one or two dishes, and Luo Zijin's meal can only be sweet. Along the way, Luo Zijin looked at Xiao Gong in a daze, and was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat much at noon. But looking at Xiao Gong, who recovered his spirit after rushing to the palace, he naturally couldn't wait to send her.
Xiao Gong is here for the first time, and it is certain that he is not familiar with the road. She opened her mouth to ask, but everyone had just arrived, and they were busy and could not take care of her. Besides, her identity is not a cook, in the final analysis, she is just a small stove, and everyone knows that it is not very good for Luo Zijin.
Although Cao Fu also opened a small stove, it was all made by his subordinates, and it was sent along with the regular dishes from the big kitchen, and it seemed that there was nothing special about it. But Xiaogong is Luo Zijin's personal maid, much more conspicuous than Cao Fuke. There is no way, Xiaogong can only find it quietly alone.
It's just that although the Yaoshan Palace is not as majestic as the palace, there are many palaces. It is not as many as the courtyards of the Prince's Mansion, with nine twists and eighteen windings. But in the end, it is a royal garden, and then built on the mountain, which combines the natural magic with the pavilion. It seems that there is no way, but when you go closer, there is no hole. And some are open and flat, and there are roads everywhere, but when you get closer, you don't know where to go. It's easy to get lost in it, but if you can get out of the way, the road and courtyard in this palace happen to be similar to the branches of the sacred tree.
The places related to the Divine Tree, Murong Shuo naturally knew best. This is the royal palace, yes, but in the secret place, there is also the courtyard of his Murong family. And among the hot springs scattered all over the entire Tangquan Palace, only the hot springs close to his Murong Courtyard were the most closely related to the Divine Tree.
However, although this courtyard is said to belong to his Murong family, the world also knows it. But Murong Shuo has now been expelled from the house, and it has nothing to do with everything in the Murong family, and it can't have anything to do with it. Therefore, even if he had his own courtyard, Murong Shuo could not get close to it, and could only live in the guest room with ordinary guests and enjoy the ordinary hot springs in the courtyard.
As a member of the Murong family, he has been soaking in the hot springs in Murong Courtyard since he was a child, and the ordinary hot springs in this guest courtyard are how Murong Shuo can see them. After resting for a while, I went out alone after drinking tea, wanting to go to the front mountain to relax.
Who knows, he had just gone out not far when he saw Xiao Gong walking towards this side with a random look. When Murong Shuo saw her, he just wanted to say that the ghost was still there, and he was ready to hide. But Xiao Gong, who had been looking around, soon spotted him. Before he could take a few steps, the little gong came running shouting his name. Helpless, Murong Shuo had no choice but to stand still and wait for her to come.
"Murong Shuo, do you know the road here, do you know where the kitchen is?" Xiao Gong ran to the front and asked directly without waiting for Murong Shuo to speak.
"What is the kitchen doing, do you ask Miss Luo's maid to cook too?" Murong Shuo asked rhetorically. It would be too cheap for her to ask for something out of his mouth so easily. And how did she know she knew where the kitchen was?
