Chapter 15: The First Meeting 3

Red Ice Palace. Weide Palace. Pure Heart Temple.

There are a total of seven or eight large and small palaces in the Weide Palace, but the palaces that are used daily, or the most frequently used, are only the Weide Hall and the Qingxin Hall built at the front, and the small kitchen that is a hundred meters away from the Qingxin Palace.

Different from the Weide Hall that only has the main hall and the left and right side halls, there are a total of four halls in the Qingxin Palace, one on the left and one on the left, arranged in the shape of the word "product", and the front hall is in the middle of the two mouths under the word "product".

The front hall of the Qingxin Hall is spacious and atmospheric, but the layout is somewhat simple. As soon as you enter the temple gate, you can see that the ground is covered with a layer of dark and shiny floor tiles, and people can even see their own reflections when they walk on it!

Six large pillars stand in various places in the hall, supporting part of the weight of the majestic and magnificent heavy eaves on the top of the Qingxin Palace, and each pillar is carved with a vivid four-clawed dragon, if you look closely, you can find that the shape of each of those dragons is different.

Under the wall on the left side of the hall is a large round table with a diameter of about two meters, and a pale yellow diamond-shaped tablecloth is spread on the tabletop. Around the table are a circle of eight round stools made of golden silk nanmu, each covered with a thick wool cushion.

Under the wall on the right side of the hall, there is a huge Bogu shelf attached to the wall, and there are objects in each grid on the shelf, including jade, wood carving, bronze and so on.

On the ground in front of the golden silk nanmu table and the Bogu shelf, there is a large golden tripod on the left and right, and the lid is hollowed out and carved with complex patterns. At this moment, there is a rising white smoke slowly rising in the hollow place of the four golden big tripod covers, and the white smoke rises to a certain height and slowly disperses, and there is a fresh pine fragrance in the hall.

On the wall facing the temple door, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque with the inscription "Virtue and Virtue" four dragons flying and phoenix dancing, and there is a satin screen about seven or eight meters long under the plaque, although the screen is long, but the two ends of the screen are still several meters away from the walls on both sides.

From right to left, the screen is embroidered with the scenery of mountains and rivers throughout the year, there are more than ten pairs in total, and each picture can be picked out to become a unique scene, put together but not abrupt. On the contrary, it fits perfectly.

In the center of the front of the screen is a rectangular desk more than a meter long, covered with a pale yellow satin tablecloth. The tablecloth covers the table from the top to the corner, completely obscuring the original appearance of the table.

On the table are the four treasures of the study room and some books and bamboo slips, and behind the table is a pale yellow throne of eight dragons with gold lacquer. On both sides of the throne, three giant pillars with a diameter of one meter are arranged with a golden cloud dragon pattern, and the gold leaf is pasted in two colors, making the pattern stand out and be distinct.

There are four pairs of furnishings on both sides of the throne: the treasure elephant, the horn end (the end of the phone, the legendary auspicious animal), the crane and the incense pavilion.

In the middle of the ceiling above the throne is a caisson shaped like an umbrella lid rising upward, and in the middle of the caisson is carved a huge dragon lying on the ground. The dragon head professed down, and the mouth was a jewel.

Bypassing the screen, it can be seen that in the middle of the wall behind the screen, there is a hollow carved wooden door that leads to the apse of the Qingxin Hall. Under the walls on both sides of the screen, there is also a hollow carved wooden door, which leads to the left hall and the right hall respectively. These openwork carved doors are covered with an extremely fine white veil, which can block both the cold and the view.

The left side of the Qingxin Hall is for the guests who come to visit the Weide Palace, and the layout inside is excellent, but generally few people enter except for the palace people who clean.

When it came to Yan Ziming, the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom, the left hall of the Qingxin Hall could basically be said to be vacant, after all. No one wants to make friends with a "silly" person.

Because the palace rules of Chibing State clearly stipulate: eunuchs and palace maids enter the palace at the time of the day, and all leave the palace before the west and the door are locked at night, and only a few eunuchs and palace maids are left in each palace. The rest of the eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to stay in the west and gate, but can only stay in the palace room on the north side of the west and outside the gate.

Therefore, each palace in the Imperial Palace of the Red Ice Kingdom will open up a side hall for the palace people on night duty to rest. After all, even if it's royal, you can't really let the palace people stand outside the door for a night so inhumanely, right?

The climate of the Red Ice Country is already cold, and it is warm for a few months throughout the year, so if it is a cold winter, the palace people will stand outside the door overnight, and they will freeze down without waiting for dawn.

And the right hall of the Qingxin Hall has always been used for the palace people who are on duty in the Qingxin Hall for rest.

Although there is a side hall to live in. But there are still few palace people who are willing to take the matter of night duty, after all, everyone wants to nest in the warm quilt and sleep peacefully until dawn!

Fortunately, I got to Yan Ziming, the prince of the Red Ice Country. The palace people who served in the Weide Palace were much better, because except for Wang Quan and Mu Wen, Yan Ziming never let the other palace people in the Weide Palace stay on duty for him, and they had been like this for more than ten years.

So much so that when Yan Ziming arrived, the right side hall of the Qingxin Hall basically became the exclusive side hall of Wang Quan and Muwen, no matter the day. Both Wang Quan and Mu Wen can rest in the right hall of the Qingxin Palace.

However, for this point, no one in the palace has ever cared about it. After all, the palace people who can live in the hall on the right side of the Qingxin Hall have to worry about several times more than those palace people who have to run west and inside and outside the gate every day!

The apse of the Qingxin Hall is the dormitory where the princes of the Chibing Kingdom lived, and as soon as you enter the palace door, you can see a layer of thick wool felt on the ground, and the felt is one after another, covering the entire ground tightly, just looking very warm.

On the wall facing the temple door, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque with the inscription "good as water" four dragons flying and phoenix dancing, and there is a pale yellow eight-dragon gold lacquer throne under the plaque, the throne is covered with a layer of thick wool cushion, and there is a rectangular pillow on the left and right sides of the throne, and the pillow is embroidered with the four-clawed dragon with the moire pattern on the foot.

The distance of about seven or eight meters on the wall on the right side of the temple gate is hollow and carved, and most of the light in the apse comes from this wall. On the left and right sides of the wall are open two openwork carved windows, and the hollow carved places on the wall and the windows are covered with a layer of extremely fine white veil.

Under the wall, there is a two-meter-long golden silk nan wood couch, and on the ground on the left and right sides of the couch there is a small foot couch of golden silk nan wood, and a thick wool blanket is spread on the couch. In the middle of the couch is a small square table made of golden silk nanmu, and a set of purple sand teapots and teacups are placed on the tabletop. On the left and right sides of the small table are rectangular pillows, and on the pillow surface is also a four-clawed dragon embroidered with moire patterns.

Under the wall on the left side of the temple gate, there is a screen about one person high and more than three meters long, and the screen is embroidered with magnificent mountains and rivers, and each mountain and river is extremely clear and careful.

Bypassing the screen, you can see a two-meter-square golden silk nanmu bed neatly placed under the wall, the bed is covered with thick cotton wool, a layer of wool blanket is spread on the cotton wool, and then there is a pale yellow brocade quilt on top, and the quilt surface is so smooth that there is not even a trace of wrinkles.

A pale yellow satin bed hangs on the roof of the hall directly above the golden silk nanmu bed, and if the curtains hooked up on both sides are lowered, it can cover the golden silk nanmu bed.

On the left and right sides of the throne, the couch and the screen, there is a one-man high bronze lamppost, and the pillar body is carved with a coiled python, and the lampshade is hollowed out and carved with cloud patterns, which is extremely gorgeous.

Four palace lamps are hung at the four corners of the square treasure top in the hall, and there are two silver charcoal stoves under the palace lamps, the charcoal fire is burning red at this moment, and the scarlet flames make people feel that the limbs are warm together.

In fact, if you don't burn this silver carbon stove, the entire Qingxin Hall is also warm, after all, the earth dragon under this palace is burning vigorously!

When Wang Quan closed the door of the front hall of the Qingxin Hall and entered the back hall, the cold air on his body had been almost dispelled by the warm air that filled the front hall, and his body was just right to be lukewarm. But after stepping into the apse with two silver and carbon stoves, Wang Quan felt a little hot.

Wang Quan, who had Yan Ziming's face that brought disaster to the country and the people, began to look around as soon as he entered the apse, looking around to find the master of his family, but he ...... Looking at the empty apse, Wang Quan was a little confused: Alas, I obviously saw them come in, but what about the people?

The apse of the Qingxin Hall is so big, the layout is simple, there is no place to hide people, but Wang Quan looked around, but he never saw Yan Ziming, and even Mu Wen didn't know where to go.

Wang Quan once again silently looked around the empty apse, and once again made sure that in this apse except for himself, there was only Leng Qing who was left with his back to him, covered by three thick pieces like a brown bear, and was sitting on a small stool beside the silver charcoal stove with a "bloated" body.

Every time Yan Ziming came back from going out, Wang Quan would dismiss the palace people who were serving in the Qingxin Palace, so that he and Yan Ziming could exchange their identities back, and this time was the same. As soon as he saw Mu Wen before, Wang Quan sent all the palace people who were waiting in the Qingxin Palace, and at this time Yan Ziming and Mu Wen were gone, and Wang Quan just wanted to find a palace person to ask.

Looking at Leng Qing's "bloated" back, Wang Quan sighed faintly: Okay! It seems that he has to ask her......

If he could, Wang Quan really didn't want to provoke Leng Qing who was huddled by the stove now, and he didn't want to offend his family's master who had a bad stomach because of a woman of unknown origin.

The master of his family is much more ruthless than him Wang Quan......

It's just that Wang Quan couldn't figure it out, in the past, there were not a few times he made such a fuss, the strictest one, but he made Muwen, who had always been calm, anxious, and provoked Muwen to chase him with a green shadow sword and run around Manweide Palace, knocking over more than ten pieces of precious porcelain, jade and other ornaments that were broken, and even a set of glazed cups given by the emperor was dropped.

Even at that time, his master only punished him for half a year, but today, he clearly felt that his master was angry! But he didn't seem to say anything excessive today! Why did his master get angry?

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Wang Quan walked towards Leng Qing, who was still concentrating on the fire. (To be continued.) )
