Chapter 209: Lord Rui (2)
Xia Qing thought that the plaque outside King Rui's Mansion was already magnificent enough.
But when she followed the sedan chair man into the mansion of King Rui, she finally understood what style was.
Compared to the landscape inside, the outside is nothing at all!
She was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, her eyes were full of novelty, and her face was full of curiosity.
For her reaction, the palanquin man didn't feel strange at all.
He calmly gave Xia Qing all kinds of introductions.
"Girl, the side door you are walking on is the gate, the gate is called the Chaoyang Gate, do you see if it faces east? That means that it should be the same as the direction of the rising sun, it is the special grace of the saints, and the gate of other people's houses cannot face east. The Holy God hopes that our prince can be an upright person. As soon as Chaoyang Gate passed, there was a Fenghua Gate inside, and after entering the Fenghua Gate, you really entered the palace. “
Xia Qing nodded hurriedly, trying not to look like a hillbilly.
"That fish pond is full of koi fish rewarded by the saints, and each one is precious. Every year, the saint has to reward a few tails to our prince, so the prince specially built a fish pond for the koi. “
Xia Qing glanced at it, and there was indeed a huge pond next to it.
The lotus flowers on it are in full bloom at this time, and the blue-green leaf petals cover the pool tightly, and you can't see what is in the pool.
The lotus flowers are in full bloom, and there are even water lilies and lotus flowers competing to open in the lotus bushes.
"Girl, look, there are a few lotus flowers there, which are also personally rewarded by the saints, and they are varieties that cannot be seen in the capital. “
When Xia Qing heard this, he looked at the pool intently.
After a closer look, I found that there were several lotus flowers in a patch of pink, which turned out to be multicolored.
Such a lotus Xia Qing is unheard of and unseen.
Just like the flowers that I saw in the Zuixian Building, which can bloom in winter, it is also a kind of hard-working and expensive plant.
In order to cultivate such a multi-colored lotus, I don't know how much manpower and material resources are invested, and the price paid behind it is also quite high.
Being able to enter the eyes of the royal family is the greatest meaning of the existence of this lotus.
Beauty is beautiful, such a flower is really precious, and when it blooms in the pond of this prince's house, its value will be doubled.
A small boat was drifting slowly on the pond at this time.
A few girls dressed as handmaids were carefully picking something in the pool.
"Ah, that's the Lotus Picker. Our prince likes to eat this lotus pod, so there will be a lotus picker at this time. It must be fresh to be delicious. ”
The palanquin man whistled at the lotus picking girls, and the little girls looked up, "pouted" at him, and ignored him.
Xia Qing looked at the things in the palace, and only felt that this prince was really extravagant.
If you like to eat lotus pods, I specially raise a batch of lotus pods to pick them, and pick them for him at a fixed time every day.
Born in the royal family, so can you enjoy it like this?
"Girl, that's all I can do to take you here. You wait here, and then a guy will come and pick you up and take you backstage. There will be someone there to entertain you. ”
The palanquin man waved at her and respectfully withdrew the way he came.
Xia Qing stood by the pond and watched the lotus picking girls.
They all looked very young.
A pair of hands as white as shallots went in and out of the water.
Lotus pods emerge from the water.
They carefully placed the lotus canopy in a basket, and the sun was scorching, and their delicate little faces were covered with sweat.
Xia Qing stood on the edge of the pond, sweating profusely from the sun.
She felt that her layers of pink del were about to be sunburned by the sun.
"Is it the hibiscus girl who came to dance?"
Not far away, a young man in a dusty sackcloth shouted at her.
As soon as he spoke, the girls in the pond all looked at each other, and several of them exchanged words with each other.
"Yes, little girl hibiscus. ”
"In Xia Suyun, I took you in, girl. ”
"The palanquin man told me just now, so we can go in now, right?"
"Nature...... What are you looking at? Hurry up and pick the lotus pod, when it's too late, I'll be scolded by the housekeeper, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
Su Yun shouted to the girls in the pond.
When the girls heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and began to work, not daring to look here again.
"All right, girl, let's go in. ”
Su Yun bent down and turned sideways respectfully.
"Good ......."
Xia Qing strode forward, and suddenly thought that this was the palace, she seemed to have to put on a lady's shelf, right?
So, Xia Qing, who had never tried the attribute of lotus step light movement in his life, learned the appearance of Hehuan for the first time in his life and walked the lotus step.
Along the way, the scenery is picturesque.
This Rui Wang Ye is a person who likes flowers and plants.
His palace was like a garden.
All kinds of strange and valuable plants can be found in the palace.
"The prince has been very busy lately, and he has no time to plant new flowers and plants, otherwise you may have stepped on flowers and plants all the way when you came in today. “
Yes, this prince's liking for flowers and plants has reached a realm, and the newly planted flowers and plants in this mansion are basically from him, which is also a point that Xia Qing is very surprised by.
It's really hard for her to imagine the appearance of a prince planting flowers and plants next to his house as if no one was around..... Simply.... It's so much fun, isn't it?
"There are many more gardeners in the house than maidservants. The prince thinks that this prince's mansion can still live without maids, and without those gardeners, then the flowers and plants in this mansion will be finished. ”
"Hahaha......"
Xia Qing smiled dryly, and along the way, his nose was full of the fragrance of various flowers and plants.
The further you go into this palace, the less extravagant the atmosphere becomes.
When he was outside just now, Xia Qing could imagine the glittering appearance inside.
But when she really entered the palace, she found that it was actually really homely.
Not to mention these flowers and plants, the appearance of bluestone pavements and green bricks and tiles is no different from that of ordinary officials or wealthy businessmen.
It seems that the prince himself just gave the royal family a little face, and built the outside to be more splendid, and how to build it as comfortable as he lived inside.
A huge rockery obscured the faintly flashing roof not far away.
"Girl, just around the corner is where you have prepared for today. It's full of women there, and it's hard for me to go in......."
"Okay, thank you, Young Master Su Yun. ”
Xia Qing said as he stuffed a piece of silver into Su Yun's hand.
Mei Niang said, when you come to the prince's mansion, remember to reward in time, she just forgot to reward the palanquin man, at this time, this little guy must not forget.
Su Yun looked at the silver in his hand and was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"Thank you, girl, come on in, or it's not good to be late. ”
Xia Qing nodded politely.
Su Yun looked at Xia Qing's back, threw the silver in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Xia Qing was the last dancing girl to arrive.
It can be said that this room gathers all the names and dancers in the capital who can be called.
They all went up to perform in batches, and they were summoned together by the prince's mansion a few months ago to practice today's dance music.
A person like Xia Qing dances solo, and she is the only one who finds everyone.
In other words, Xia Qing was actually called to perform temporarily.
They were supervised by a very old woman. [.]
