Yun'er entered the Longevity Palace where Empress Dowager Xiao lived for the first time, and she was also curious, so she looked around; However, although Empress Dowager Xiao is the queen mother of Daliao, her palace is also very simple and simple, and there is no too luxurious decoration.

Yun'er saw that the palace was quiet, and he thought to himself that the queen mother's sister recruited him into the palace, and he didn't know what it was, but it was very strange that there was no one in the palace.

In fact, the area of the Empress Dowager Xiao's longevity palace is very large, and the layout of this longevity palace is mainly divided into three parts, in front of which is the living room of the Empress Dowager Xiao, mainly to meet her ministers, and to meet the emperor, the princess and the harem concubines ask her for a place.

In the middle is the study and dormitory of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Empress Dowager Xiao reviews the important military and political events of the Liao State in the study late at night, and the Empress Dowager Xiao usually sleeps after reviewing the important military and political events. Over the years, in order to pass the long night and reduce the difficult time of sleeplessness, the Empress Dowager Xiao spent more time in the study. The military and political affairs in the study are a good place for Empress Dowager Xiao to spend her lonely time.

Behind the Empress Dowager Xiao's study is the hot spring where the Empress Dowager Xiao bathed. When the Longevity Palace was built, Empress Dowager Xiao found that there was a hot spring near here, so she built the Longevity Palace near this location, so that she could lie in the hot spring and wash when she was tired.

Of course, the spring water of this hot spring in the palace is also connected to other palaces in the palace, and other queens and concubines in the palace are bathed, so there are also small hot springs in other palace palaces. It's just that their hot springs are not as big and comfortable as Empress Dowager Xiao's hot springs.

Of course, Yun'er has not been to the Empress Dowager Xiao's Longevity Palace in the past, after all, he is an important civil and military minister of the Liao State, and he can generally only meet the Empress Dowager Xiao in the living room, even if the most trusted figures of the Empress Dowager Xiao like Han Jiangxue and Xianglan can only be received in the Empress Dowager Xiao's study. Therefore, the hot springs of the Longevity Palace may only be entered by a handful of Empress Dowager Xiao's most trusted maids, because they need to bathe Empress Dowager Xiao.

Yun'er first entered the living room of the Empress Dowager Xiao, the living room furnishings are relatively simple, mainly chairs and coffee tables, a huge phoenix chair in the middle, should be the seat of the Empress Dowager Xiao, the two sides of the phoenix chair are two rows of mahogany chairs, and next to the chair is a small coffee table. Obviously, this coffee table is for those who meet the Empress Dowager Xiao's civil and military ministers and put teacups. After all, being able to meet the Empress Dowager Xiao is an important figure in the Liao Kingdom, so the Empress Dowager Xiao generally respects them very much and asks the maid to make tea for them.

After all, Yun'er is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and his curiosity is relatively strong, and there is no one else in it anyway, so he will inevitably have to look around.

Yun'er left the living room and went in through the hallway, which resembled a covered bridge, covered with glazed tiles, covered with dry hardwood, and flanked by wooden railings. In this way, people walk in the corridor, clean and comfortable, even on a rainy day, the corridor is dry. On both sides of the corridor is a small garden, which is planted with Empress Dowager Xiao's favorite peach blossoms, as well as some other flowers and trees.

Empress Dowager Xiao likes peach blossoms not because of the beauty of peach blossoms, but because every time she sees peach blossoms in full bloom, Empress Dowager Xiao knows that another spring has arrived. At the end of the corridor are the steps, which are actually the eaves of the Empress Dowager Xiao's study and bedroom.

Although it is called a palace, it actually has many buildings, including many rooms and small gardens. Yun'er saw that the door of the front room was also ajar, and there was no one else around, so Yun'er wanted to go in and see what was going on.

In fact, the guards of the Empress Dowager Xiao's Longevity Palace are tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so as long as you enter the Longevity Palace, there are basically no guards inside, of course, the Empress Dowager Xiao herself is a master of martial arts, and she is not afraid of assassination by others. Besides, with the palace heavily guarded, it would be difficult for an assassin to enter the palace, let alone enter the Longevity Palace. Because the guards outside the Longevity Palace are stricter than those in the Imperial Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao's study is also paved with precious red incense wood, which is not rotten for thousands of years, even if it is placed in a damp place, it will not rot for a hundred years. And the red fragrant wood pattern is very beautiful, but also with a slight fragrance, more importantly, the red fragrant wood can detoxify and repel insects, so in the room paved with red fragrant wood, there are no annoying mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches.

In addition, the aroma of mahogany wood can make people smell relaxed and happy, so many of the furniture in Empress Dowager Xiao's room are made of mahogany. Of course, red fragrant wood is precious, most people do not have it at all, even some ordinary official and commercial families are proud to have one or two red fragrant wood products.

As soon as Yun'er arrived at the door, she already smelled a pleasant fragrance. He entered, and saw a large desk with many books and texts on top of it. Yun'er thought to herself that this should be the place where the queen mother's sister approved the excerpts reported by the officials, so Yun'er didn't dare to rummage through the things on the desk.

Yun'er saw that there was a pearl curtain behind the desk, Yun'er pushed open the pearl curtain and went in, and he saw a huge phoenix bed made of red fragrant wood inside.

There are many phoenixes carved on the bed, some flying in the sky, and some are proud of the world; Obviously, this is the bed of the Queen Mother's sister. Yun'er thought to herself that she would quietly enter the queen mother's sister's dormitory and let others find out that this was a capital crime.

So Yun'er didn't dare to stay for a long time, and was about to quit later, when he heard the faint sound of running water behind the dormitory. What's so curious about it?

Curiosity made Yun'er decide to quietly go to see what happened, in fact, in the past, Empress Dowager Xiao had always loved Yun'er like a younger brother, and now Yun'er understood that the sister who cared about her in the past was Empress Dowager Xiao, and he was not particularly afraid. After all, Yun'er believed that even if she made a mistake, Empress Dowager Xiao would not scold herself much. Besides, he was originally invited by Empress Dowager Xiao, so even if he was discovered by others, Yun'er also had enough reasons to distinguish it.

Yun'er quietly walked behind the big bed and found that there was also a door there, but this door was hidden. The sound of running water came from the door inside.

Yun'er gently pushed open the door and found that there was another corridor in front of her, but it was different from the corridor outside; Outside, there are handguard railings on both sides of the corridor, and the railings are empty, and you can clearly see the garden on both sides of the corridor when you stand on the corridor. And here there are windows on both sides of the corridor, and if you don't push the windows open, you can't see the garden outside the corridor.

Yun'er quietly entered along the corridor, only to see a door at the end of the corridor, which also looked empty. Yun'er approached the door and heard the sound of running water getting louder and louder?

Yun'er gently pushed open the hidden door, and the first thing he saw was the bead curtain, the heat inside the bead curtain kept coming out, and the white mist inside was rising, and it turned out that there was a hot spring inside. However, Yun'er vaguely found three hazy figures next to the hot spring.

Yun'er saw these three figures, one figure seemed to be sitting on the hot spring, and the other two slender figures were bent over, as if they were bathing the woman, and the sound of running water came out like this. But it was steaming inside, and Yun'er couldn't see the faces of the people inside.

It was a woman taking a bath, and Yun'er was inexplicably excited, after all, he was a young man with strong blood, and he didn't seem to understand the affairs of men and women. (To be continued.) )
