Chapter 652: Middle Road Courtyard

"Where is the White Female Prison?" Qin Su called. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Bai Fanghua immediately walked over from under the corridor and saluted, "What did Your Highness call me?"

Qin Su smiled at her reluctantly and said, "I'm a little bored in my heart, just now I suddenly remembered that I haven't made any compensation to the Third Emperor Brother, and it happens to be sunny today, and the road is better, I want to go and make amends to the Third Emperor Brother." Go and bring me the box of pearls that your father rewarded me last time, and make an apology. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Bai Fanghua replied and went to pack up and prepare. Qin Su also returned to the dormitory, changed into a new dress, and even changed his boots.

Most of the capital is located in the north, the folk customs are bold, not as weak as the south, and the winter is indeed cold, so the nobles here love boots in winter, and Qin Su changed at this time with a new pair of colorful phoenix boots everywhere. In Qin Su's opinion, these boots are indeed much warmer than clogs.

After a short time, Bai Fanghua packed up the gifts, and the steps were ready, Qin Su still took Ah Li and the others, lined up the princess's honor guard, and went to Guangming Palace.

Guangming Palace is far away from the Yongshou Palace, almost from the inner palace to the outer imperial city, Qin Su in order to show his sincerity in this apology, but also to unexpectedly probe the movement of "that prince", so he chose such a cold day to run to suffer.

After all, she couldn't freeze when she sat on the chariot, and the tents around the chariot Qin Su made people all firmly tie up, and asked people to put a small stove on it, and it was not cold at all to sit in it.

In a swaying moment, this long princess honor guard ran from east to west, almost across most of the imperial city.

When the team finally stopped at the door of Guangming Palace, Bai Fanghua only felt that the north wind was blowing from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and her whole face was even more frozen, and her mouth seemed to be no longer hers.

Fortunately, the little eunuch in Guangming Palace is a very clever one, and he saw the princess's honor guard from afar, and he ran in to pass the word, at this time, Shi Youde, the eunuch of Guangming Palace, was leading a group of palace people to greet each other under the steps in front of the palace gate on the middle road. As soon as he saw Qin Su's steps stop, Shi Youde immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Welcome to Her Royal Highness the Princess." After that, he led a group of palace people to kneel and worship.

Bai Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief.

In this cold day, she has walked so far again, if she is allowed to take the initiative to report her name at this time, she really doesn't dare to guarantee that her voice will not tremble.

Seeing that the person who came was Shi Youde, Qin Su asked someone to put down her steps, she walked down slowly, raised her hand and said "excuse", and then smiled and looked at Shi Youde a few times.

Shi Youde is about forty years old, with a very rigid square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and white skin, except for a few small pockmarks near the sideburns.

He is one of the few eunuchs in the palace who can sit on an equal footing with Xing Yourong, just looking at the purple in his body, you can know how old his qualifications are.

Speaking of which, Guangming Palace is the largest palace in the whole imperial city, with a pattern of five roads and seven entrances, and now the four adult princes each occupy one road, and the middle road has become the inner passage leading to the residences of the princes and the main gate of Guangming Palace. These four princes naturally have eunuchs around them, and Shi Youde is the eunuch who leads the Guangming Palace.

Compared with Xing Yourong, Shi Youde, who was sent here by Emperor Zhongyuan, may be even heavier.

"I came to find my third emperor brother, but I came suddenly, I didn't have time to deliver the post in advance, and I asked Eunuch Shi to pass it on my behalf. Qin Suhan said with a smile, his attitude was very polite, and he even waived the self-claim of the palace.

Shi Youde didn't dare to hold it up, and said respectfully: "Your Highness has tormented me, and I will lead the way for Your Highness." With that, he leaned sideways and gave way to the front entrance. A very clever little eunuch beside him had already flown away, presumably to deliver a letter to the third prince.

Qin Su smiled and nodded to Shi Youde, took Ah Li's hand and stepped into the palace gate, feeling quite emotional for a while.

This is the first time in her two lives that she has walked into Guangming Palace, in her previous life, the road to Guangming Palace was sealed early in the morning, and the activities of these concubines were limited to the area behind the imperial garden. Now, she finally has the opportunity to see the residence of the princes, which is really gratifying.

Entering the palace from the tall and wide main gate, Qin Su looked around without a trace. But there is no shadow wall to cover the eyes, the only area is wide, there is no snow on the stone road, its width is about enough to accommodate two horse-drawn carriages in parallel, the road is lined with evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses, these trees stand upright like guards in the cold wind, and the verdant treetops bear the snow, which looks particularly spiritual.

Through the gap between the green branches and white snow, you can faintly see a corner of the pink wall on each side of the road, and there are heavy cornices in between, and two colored stone paths stretch out symmetrically from the side of the road, winding into the forest, presumably the path leading to the two courtyards.

Looking further on, at the end of the road is a huge garden, with beautiful pavilions and winding runs, which is not much worse than the Imperial Garden.

"It's a big place. Qin Su praised it, looking left and right, with an innocent smile on his face.

Shi Youde said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, this is the middle road courtyard, and it is the largest road among the five roads of Guangming Palace. The first emperor said that if this place was blocked by a shadow wall, it would be cramped, so he asked people to open a big road, and only planted evergreen trees of pines and cypresses on the side of the road, and built a study and a library. On the left hand side of His Royal Highness is the large study room, and on the right hand side is the library building. In addition, the first emperor ordered someone to build the 'Imperial View Garden' to enjoy the scenery, which is the garden seen directly in front of His Royal Highness. In that garden, pavilions and stone bridges were built, living water was drawn, and a large number of pear trees were planted in the northwest corner. His Royal Highness can come here to enjoy the pear blossoms when he goes up next year, the pears on the tree are also sweet, and the Guangming Palace has pear blossom stuffing, pear paste, and pear soup every year, and it is also unique in the imperial city. ”

Although he is a eunuch, this Shi Youde is obviously much more elegant than Xing Yourong, and when introducing a scene to Qin Su, he uses elegant words and talks wittily, so that people can't associate his conversation with his upright face.

Qin Su nodded while listening, only to feel that the scenery here was really excellent, much better than her Eternal Longevity Palace.

It's a pity that there are four princes living in this palace, even if the place is big, and the palace door is opened alone, but this feeling of group living is also uncomfortable, and I always feel that the wall has ears. If it were Qin Su, she would rather live in a palace that was a hundred times smaller than a thousand times smaller than live here.

Talk about it all the way, but there is no embarrassment in the cold field, Shi Youde is worthy of being a big eunuch, no matter what he talks and does, he is very decent, Qin Su followed him on the road of about half a burnt incense, but he didn't feel bored at all.
