The palace garden in May, with its purple and red colors and fragrant fragrance, is the season of flowers. Early in the morning, Yun'er took Ling Juan, Yu'er, Shui'er, Jixiang, and Lehe to the flower garden in the garden to pick flowers. Jixiang, Lehe, and Shui'er took six baskets, Yun'er was the master, Ling Juan was a guest, and Yu'er didn't take the basket when she was pregnant. They accompanied Ling Juan to pick roses.

Every May, the garden is covered with flowers such as half a lotus, impatiens, peacock grass, cosmos, dahlia, gardenia, magnolia, acacia, jasmine, white orchid, kumquat, hibiscus, canna, hollyhock, June snow, morning glory, cactus, hypericum, rose, etc., presenting a thriving atmosphere. The petals that fell to the ground were still clean and dewdropped.

Ling Juan followed Yun'er to the garden once, and also saw that the garden was full of flowers of all colors. She has long fantasized about being able to make bottles of rose series drinks and beauty products with her own hands. In a foreign land, the roses she can see are very limited, either potted plants in the customer's house, or a few in the street park, and her residence is not an environment for raising flowers, so she can only look at the flowers and sigh. Now, with so many kinds of flowers appearing in front of her at once, Ling Juan really realized that this was not a flower market, but a palace garden.

Here is a sea of flowers, more than the flowers when Lin Daiyu buried flowers in the 87 version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions"! Layers on top of each other on the ground are spread very thickly.

"Wow! Yunyun, your house is really beautiful and big, just the garden is almost like the Summer Palace, right? There's also a small tower with bells hanging from the eaves. What are those buildings for? ”

"These are the royal gardens, this garden is the emperor's palace, and it is built according to the interest of Suzhou gardens. It was the emperor who gave my family the prince to practice martial arts and participate in Zen, and the buildings over there are some buildings, halls, pavilions, pavilions or something, in exotic terms, they are the attractions in the park, and I will take you to visit when you are free. ”

"Thank you, thank you! I can't imagine that I can still live in the era of the emperor. I don't know if the current emperor is similar to the Shunzhi emperor played by Deng Chao.

Yun'er and Ling Juan said: "I only watched the beginning of the TV series "Young Son of Heaven", and I must say that the two emperors are not similar at all. We are the real emperor, if he wears the clothes of a scholar he is a scholar, he looks gentle and elegant, but he has a great temper, you may see him in the future, because he often comes to our house to wander. ”

Yun'er also told Ling Juan that since the prince came down from the battlefield, he has lived a life of retreat. On the one hand, the arrow wound on his left arm needed to be recuperated, and on the other hand, Master Gan Lin explained to Emperor Taizong the twelve-character covenant to the prince, and the prince stayed away from the disputes of the imperial court, and spent his mind on the small days of participating in meditation, practicing martial arts and fitness, and planting vegetables and flowers.

The area of the palace garden is very large, and at the beginning there were only a few scenic spots, mainly vegetable fields. Just like the pattern when Gege was thrown into the well by Yun'er, the grass is green, the peach and willows are green, and there are several places that can be used by the guards and soldiers of the palace to practice martial arts collectively.

Who knew that in the spring of the second year after moving into the palace, Ma Ping, an architectural expert, suddenly brought someone to the mansion, and after greeting the prince, he went straight to the back garden to measure the garden. The prince asked him what he was going to do, and Ma Ping replied, "This is what the emperor meant." ”

Then came hundreds of craftsmen and mountain-like building materials. The prince hurriedly entered the palace to ask the emperor, and the emperor said, "Don't you think your garden is too simple?" Loss of royal decency. I just want to add a few views to your garden, so that you can not only practice martial arts, but also enjoy the scenery of the mountains and waters, so that you can nourish your temperament. Ma Ping went to Suzhou to learn a little bit of garden interest there, and you just waited to see the scenery. ”

The prince said, "Your Majesty! You must not add anything more to the ministers, the garden behind is already very good. The minister has been in the temple for many years and does not like luxury......"

"Did I tell you to make your garden luxurious? You'll know when you're built. Besides, the imperial garden in the palace is too small, so I will use your garden as a place to evacuate your bones, okay? ”

What else can the prince say? The emperor said that he was coming to evacuate the muscles and bones just an excuse, where did he have time to hang out in the house, and he was still too busy with national affairs.

Ma Ping spent a month designing the architectural drawings of the Rui Wangfu Garden, and the emperor nodded after looking at it, and started construction without consulting the prince at all. The prince was very worried, the silver in the court was very nervous, and the queen mother and the emperor even simplified their birthdays. It is really not suitable to build such a garden in his own house at this time, and he has to implement it if he can't do it. He is a monk who has developed a simple habit, and he wants to have a pavilion, a rockery fish pond, a place to plant lotus flowers and read, and to participate in Zen, to grow vegetables and practice martial arts, and then there is a "Awakening House". However, he didn't dare to stop the emperor.

The garden was built, and the prince was stupid: his life experience was very simple, before the age of eighteen in the temple, except for the Daxiong Treasure Hall, it was a meditation room to live in, and then a vegetable garden and a courtyard for practicing martial arts.

After returning to the world, he lived in the palace of Shengjing for a period of time, and then it was the battlefield, on the way to deliver grain and grass. Where have you ever seen such a fairy-like abode?

Ma Ping adhered to the emperor's will, combined with the characteristics of Suzhou gardens, and designed the palace garden. The garden area occupies three-quarters of the entire palace. The fish pond alone occupies nearly seven or eight acres of land. The earthwork dug out of the fish pond has built up two hills, like two exquisite islands side by side, on which flowers and trees are planted, and Taihu Lake stones are placed as rockeries, and flowers and plants are planted to fix the soil. With the fish pond and hill as the center, many pavilions and pavilions were built on the edge of the fish pond "by the mountains and rivers". There is a pavilion called "Qingxiang Pavilion" that goes straight into the water. It is surrounded by a white marble railing. The pond is full of lotus flowers, water lilies, fragrant and colorful, and there are countless brocade scales in the water. The water here is fed by a spring, so the water in the lotus pond is clear and flowing. The exit is at the southeast corner of the lotus pond. Due to the moderate water level, the water flowing out of the lotus pond becomes a very shallow, clear stream, and the stones and small fish in the stream are clearly visible.

The lotus pond is blocked by a white marble railing more than three feet high, and the purpose is also for the safety of the prince. Not far from Qingxiang Pavilion, there is a white marble bridge across the lotus pond, where you can watch and feed the fish. Ma Ping's preliminary design was to build a red wooden bridge with nine bends and eighteen bends, crossing the lotus pond and connecting with the Qingxiang Pavilion. But when I think about it, Xuan Shizi is still young, and if he sneaks out and falls into the lotus pool, it will be troublesome. Although the fish pond is not deep, it is full of silt underneath, and it is difficult to get out if you sink in, so the stone bridge is rebuilt to let the stone bridge cross a narrow lotus pond, and people who enjoy the scenery can also stop here and feed the fish. The pavilions here are all white walls and black tiles, although they are not as splendid as the Forbidden City, they are much larger than the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City, and they are also very eye-catching. A variety of trees and shrubs are planted around the fish pond, and the pond is wide and lush. The buildings, halls, pavilions and halls built near the water are staggered, charming and charming, each with its own interest. The hill is shaded by greenery, and there stands a seven-level floating pagoda, although it is not towering into the clouds, but it is also a high wing eaves, and the bell is tinkling. There is a small bridge between the two hills. There are strange stones and vines on the mountain, all kinds of flowers, and the fragrance strikes people. The western part of the Baihui Garden is full of scenic spots such as buildings, platforms, pavilions, etc., the central part is dominated by shrubs and flowers, and the eastern part is mostly flower trees and fruit trees.

Turning the hill to the north, it seems to be another world. Here is a farmhouse building, bamboo fence thatched hut, repair bamboo poles, there are several acres of vegetable ponds in the courtyard, chicken coop cowshed, well platform haystack, wild flowers, like a paradise. There is a boulder on the side of the road, which is engraved: "Taoyuan House".

On the opposite side of the farmhouse is a meditation room, all of which are buildings with white walls and blue tiles, and when you enter the gate, there is a shadow wall wall, and there is a huge "Buddha" character written on the wall, giving people a feeling of transcendent birth. Wang Ye and Fu Jin often meditated and participated in meditation here; Further north is a very large courtyard, is the pattern of the courtyard, blue brick house, except for the house is the grass of green grass, this is the place where the prince Fujin practiced; In the depths of a plum blossom, there is a deep courtyard with exquisite architecture, this is another study of the prince, the inscription on the door is Mr. Chen's Hanmo "Bo Yuxuan", there are many books in it, the prince often visits here, Mr. Chen moved to the house and the prince took him here, told him that the books here are as he reads, and gave Mr. the key to the study. The prince often chatted, played chess, and read books with his master and father-in-law here. The names of the pavilions, pavilions, buildings, and halls were also inscribed by Mr. Chen after he moved to the house.

The prince has always felt that this garden is too luxurious, although he does not understand architectural matters, but as soon as he enters this garden, people have a feeling of staggered pavilions, glory and wealth. It's far from my own peaceful state of mind. But this is specially built by the emperor for himself, and he can only accept it unconditionally. In order to cover up the overly magnificent waterside buildings, the prince planted flowers and trees around these pavilions, pavilions, buildings, and halls. All the trees, shrubs, herbaceous flowers that can bloom are brought and planted. The emperor gave this garden a vulgar and elegant name; Hundred Flower Garden. The prince really used this place as a place to raise flowers and trees. The competition of various flowers has become the main scene here. Now is the most prosperous flowering season for the Baihui Garden. All kinds of flowers that bloom during this season show off their most beautiful faces, and the fragrance is so strong that you want to sneeze. The petals that fell on the ground were thick in layers. Due to the abundance of flowers and trees, there are also many bees and butterflies, and there are six beekeepers who manage the honey produced in the Hundred Gardens. The honey of Ruiwangfu is called "Baihua Honey", which is not an exaggeration at all, and even exceeds the honey brewed from a hundred kinds of flowers. "Hundred flower nectar" is a highlight of Rui Wangfu: each royal mansion and Guogong Mansion have their own pharmacies, pharmacies naturally want to make pills and ointment pills and other medicines, pills are naturally inseparable from honey, the honey of Rui Wangfu is the best honey to make pills, it itself has the effect of detoxification and anti-inflammatory, or a variety of flowers brewed, the taste is quite sweet and mellow, even the imperial pharmacy in the palace likes the "hundred flower nectar" of Rui Wangfu.

The gate of the Garden of Flowers is a sea of flowers. Those Xuan, courtyards, Zhai, and rooms are hidden from time to time, giving people a sense of mystery that the dragon can see the beginning and the end. In this way, it adds infinite vitality and vitality to those buildings, which is already a deep and beautiful garden with staggered pavilions and ever-changing, plus the rendering and embellishment of flowers, this place is not much better than the Queen Mother's Yaochi Holy Realm.

Of course, the prince didn't know much about the garden, but he deliberately covered up the magnificence, but turned a garden into a more beautiful place. In the past few years, in addition to the emperor's frequent visit to this garden, Prince An and Prince Xian have often come to enjoy the flowers in the blooming season, and said a joke to the prince: You are a place where people faint.

Further north is an open flowerbed, in the middle of which is a stone road more than five feet wide, which occupies a large area. Now that the prince's ice cellar and greenhouse have been completed, most of his energy is focused on this garden and the Nanwai Mansion, and he is busy every day.

On and around the road are shrub flowers: peonies, hibiscus, pomegranates, jasmine, roses, moonflowers, roses and lilacs. The peony of the national color is as noble as the queen; The crimson roses are like a girl in spring, delicate and bright; The elegant lilacs shyly and quietly opened; The delicate hibiscus makes no secret of her beautiful demeanor; The flaming pomegranate blooms with a charming smile, and the jade-colored gardenia exudes a rich fragrance......

Further down are many rectangular planters of the same size, each with a single flower: potted moonflower, tulip, lily, poppy, impatiens, canna, dahlia, iris, hosta, tuberose, pansy, cockscomb, zinnia, bunch of red, cosmos, violette, poise, marigold, millennia, calendula...... All the flowers are so warm and clean, and they are taken care of by the owner, such as the beautiful and elegant Xizi after bathing.

There are quite a lot of flowers and trees in the Ruiwang Mansion, not only in the flower garden area, but also in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. They were all arranged in an orderly manner by the prince, and even the fence walls of the small vegetable garden in the Taoyuan House were full of dewy morning glories and broom plums, swaying in the reflection of the morning sun.

In addition to the various flowers in the flower garden, the prince has also successively added flowers to various scenic spots. Not only herbaceous flowers, shrub flowers, and tall flowers in the flower beds, but also a variety of potted flowers. In this way, the palace garden is as lush and fresh as a splendid cloud from spring, and all kinds of flowers bloom in season. In fact, the prince planted flowers not entirely to hide his wealth, but also to cherish his two wives, most of the women like flowers, they will be relaxed and happy when they see all kinds of flowers when they walk here, which also helps health.

To the north of the garden are peach forests, apricot forests, plum forests, cherry forests, bamboo forests and maple forests, and there are seven or eight long rows of blue brick houses against the north wall of the palace, which are the residences of male soldiers and servants such as the eunuchs, flower workers, and Sura who do odd jobs who take care of the garden. There are also small flower houses and conservatories in the house, and the prince has sent nearly 100 boys and girls from the family of clothed slaves to work in the house. The division of labor is responsible for cleaning the dust of all the houses in the garden, the dead branches and leaves of the various paths, as well as picking the fruit from the trees and collecting the seeds in the fall. There are also dozens of personal soldiers patrolling day and night to prevent bad actors from entering the garden. Isn't it a sin to destroy the heavens when such a good garden is left unattended and becomes a world of cobwebs and rats? also lived up to the emperor's favor.

The prince does not raise birds, but it is a paradise for birds. Many birds from the north and south gather here to breed. Birds chirp and sing gently.

The built palace garden has both the warmth of the southern water town and the majesty of the northern Yanzhao, which is beautiful. The prince is a person who can't be idle, and he doesn't go to the court to participate in politics, except for practicing martial arts and participating in Zen, that is, planting vegetables and raising flowers. He spends a lot of time inspecting the garden and tidying up the flowers and plants, and there are ten professional gardeners in the garden who prune flowers and trees, and dozens of maids who specialize in cleaning up dead branches and leaves and cleaning the paths. In the royal palace, there were far more servants in charge of the gardens, temples, and empty houses than there were those who served a few masters.

This is the world of flowers, the ocean of flowers, the fragrance is fragrant, and it is a blur. The ground is full of flying flowers, and the fish and water can't bear to settle down. Master Yun was sick before and never came to the garden, but after getting sick, he traveled for another year. Yun'er was shocked by this sea of flowers! It's so beautiful, it's amazing! But the prince said that this garden still needs to be renovated!
