But these thoughts Ah Zi naturally won't talk to Zuo Qiyang, after all, that treasure was taken back from him by Ah Brown, and it is also a knot in his heart all along, right?

Seeing that Ah Zichong smiled at herself, Zuo Qiyang only thought that she accepted her statement, and didn't think much about it, and went inside through her.

Different from the structure of the Dongyuan Imperial Palace, which is centered on the main hall, since the most important deep palace wall left by the predecessors has been abandoned, Yan Taizu's ingenuity has also been more vividly played.

Looking at this water palace from a distance, you can't see the boxy courtyard built up one by one, but everywhere is full of agility and lightness.

Houses made of blue bricks and white tiles are hard to find even in a straight line.

Seeing this, Ah Zi knew for the first time that the original house could be so difficult to be a rhythmic curve, full of vitality and even playfulness.

"The whole forbidden palace is divided into two halls, east and west, and takes two kinds of brushstrokes in Chinese painting as the focus: one is thick ink, and the other is white.

"The west side is dominated by yin, with a sense of heaviness as the main tone. The hall is built with solid blue bricks, and the two semi-curved walls are connected end to end, forming a semicircular building, like a crescent moon, paved on the surface of the lake.

"Most of the places on this side are blocked from the light, only in the middle of the main hall is a huge round skylight carved out of the dome, the light of the sun and the moon shines through from there in the morning and evening, and the various expressions of the people standing in it are all revealed, it is said that who is right and who is wrong, who is loyal and who is opposed, standing there, it is clear at a glance, no one can hide any secrets - that is the temple of light of the early dynasty of the ministers. The emperor's imperial study and several side halls are also over there.

"The east side is the main yang, with light jumping off as the main tone. Most of the space is open pavilions. Or the hollow corridor, like the nine curves and eighteen bends under our feet, built on the surface of this lake, it is unique to walk, and it will not feel boring or the road is long.

"On this side, contrary to the west, there is only one palace in the middle that is enclosed, where the harem ladies live.

"The emperors of the three dynasties are the most dedicated, and there is only one queen in each of the three dynasties, and there are no concubines. And today's queen has been serving the empress dowager with all her heart since entering the palace, and Kunning Palace and Cining Palace have been combined into one. Renamed the Sacred Heart Palace. It was the only enclosed palace in the west.

"The west side is thick ink, and the east side is the flying white, which echoes and is self-contained. Look down from above. In fact, the entire palace is like a yin and yang gossip map. Attract the essence of the sun and the moon, absorb the aura of heaven and earth......"

Ah Zi followed Zuo Qiyang all the way to the Sacred Heart Palace in the east, listening to his explanation all the way. His gaze followed his waving arms little by little, but his mind seemed to fly beyond the sky.

Such a palace is really unheard of, it doesn't look like a palace, but it looks like a summer resort with ingenuity, low-key and emotional.

If you can live in such a place, I'm afraid that no matter how impetuous your temperament is, you can get peace and gradually return to your original heart, right?

While speaking, the two had already arrived outside the gate of the Sacred Heart Palace, Zuo Qiyang reported his name, explained his intention, and his little father-in-law went to pay homage, so he ran out again and led the two of them in with a smile.

Walking all the way, I saw an old woman with gray hair and a blue-black robe leaning on the kang table in the same place, dressed in a very simple manner. If it weren't for the here and now, and Zuo Qiyang reminded him in advance, Ah Zi would almost mistake it for an old nun in a temple who led the practice.

The old man's eyes were slightly closed, his expression was calm, and the sunlight from the blinds behind him hit his face obliquely, looking peaceful.

Beside her, there sat a woman about thirty years old, wearing a long coat embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in lake blue, covered with a green veil, although it was low-key and rich, but it did not conflict with the dress of the old man around her.

At this time, with a smile on her face, she was sitting next to each other and gently beating the old man's legs.

"You have just recovered from a serious illness and your body is weak, so you don't have to come to my side every day to serve, and I am not unserved here. I'll wear you out again, and I'll not even have anyone to talk to. The old man muttered under his breath.

The woman next to her smiled and agreed, but her hand did not stop.

The palace maid who was guarding the side saw Zuo Qiyang leading Ah Zi in, and after bending her knees and saluting, she turned around and stepped forward to return.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother."

Zuo Qiyang said, stepped forward and knelt down, and Ah Zi hurriedly knelt down.

The Empress Dowager, who was still in a reclining position, raised her eyes, answered, and asked the two to get up and talk.

"There aren't so many rules here, you go out and forget about it when you come back." The Empress Dowager said, and then sat up straight.

"Did you get it back?"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager asked straight to the point, Zuo Qiyang was a little embarrassed and glanced back.

The queen on one side understood, got up and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs in the house to go down first, and she still led Zuo Qiyang and Ah Zi to sit on the princess chair on the side with a smile.

This kind of etiquette, such an approachable way of treating people, is not at all like a high-ranking royal noble, but like a well-educated family receiving relatives and friends.

Ah Zi thought about it, and a little good feeling rose in her heart.

Seeing that there were only the Queen Mother, the Empress, himself and Ah Zi left in the room, Zuo Qiyang spoke.

"It was a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, who originally chased all the way south to Lixin City, and squatted at Xinmen Pass for several days, but it still made people slip away. A few days ago, Tang Yinbrown and his party were intercepted outside the city of Dragon Claw City, and they already had a few chances of winning, but their martial arts were inferior to the other party, and their governance was not strict, so they couldn't bring them back......"

Zuo Qiyang said, and the Empress Dowager nodded, with no expression on her face.

Most of these situations Zuo Qiyang will regularly order someone to send a message back on the way, and the Empress Dowager naturally knows what the final result will be in Dragon Claw City, but she only knows a little about it in the last letter she received, but because Zuo Qiyang is in a hurry to rush back, she has no chance to ask in detail.

Hearing that he was in such a hurry to lead people to withdraw his troops, it was diametrically opposed to the belief that he was willing to spend months guarding a generation in the Longji Mountains that everyone was not optimistic about, the Empress Dowager and the Empress had some hopes, and faintly felt that Zuo Qiyang might not have succeeded in bringing people back this time.

But now that he heard such news from his mouth, his hopes were ultimately disappointed, and both of them inevitably sighed in their hearts.

Since it was a futile, Zuo Qiyang had expected the two of them to react like this, but he didn't come empty-handed this time, and waited for a while, and when the Empress Dowager and Empress digested the previous bad news, Zuo Qiyang spoke again.

"It's just that this time the subordinate brought back another person." (To be continued.) )
