Unlike Nanjing, Beijing is a big place, and the palace city and the imperial city are not the same concept, and ordinary people want to live outside the imperial city, and those who can live in the imperial city are considered high-ranking officials. The poorer people can't even afford to live in the imperial city. However, Xu Xun didn't know what the outer city was like, the Tonghui River wharf where she got off the boat that day was on the edge of the imperial city, and she entered the imperial city directly in the car. And with her identity, it is not easy to get out of the imperial city. The next time I go out, it is probably time to get on the boat and go back to Nanjing.

The so-called imperial city, basically is set outside the Forbidden City of a large frame, by the Jinshui River as a natural barrier, so the city wall is not complete, there is no moat where the city wall is built, unless the water jishu is hard, otherwise it is basically impossible to swim from the moat, it can be said that the safety of the imperial city is very guaranteed. In the Imperial City, outside the Forbidden City, there are mainly two large gardens in the East Garden and the West Garden, as well as the mountains and rivers of Taiye Pond and Long Live Mountain, which are the places where the emperor and queen are prepared to go out of the palace to play and hunt. Although the mountains are undulating in the East Garden, there are many places where you can put your horses, and you don't have to run outside the city if you want to practice riding and archery.

In addition to these public green facilities, there are many institutional offices in the Imperial City, for example, the 24 Yamen are all on the street in the Imperial City, and there are not so many places in the Forbidden City for the Chinese people to be on duty - these 24 Yamen are in charge of a lot of things, such as the Treasure Money Bureau, which is in charge of the toilet paper used by everyone in the Forbidden City. Not to mention that it was made, can you imagine that there is a place in the Forbidden City dedicated to storing toilet paper? Can you do it? There is a small courtyard in the corner of the Imperial City, which is specially used to hide paper papers. And so on, the salary-saving division in charge of firewood and charcoal, and the bell and drum division in charge of the drum music of the servants, are all working in the imperial city. This is also to isolate the inner palace and the outer palace, so as not to let some unclean servants enter and leave the palace indiscriminately, giving people an opportunity to take advantage of.

Therefore, the defense of the palace city is very tight, the general palace people enter and exit the palace, come out of the Donghua Gate to be searched and packaged, from the palace to the imperial city there is a door, from the Donghua Gate out, the nearest is the East Gate, here again to be searched, from the East Gate out of the East Gate in the Dong'an Gate to be searched again package, want to carry things that is impossible. Because the guards of these gates are all the elite of the pro-army Jingwei, and the palace people and the Chinese people are not allowed to have any contacts, the three gates are respectively three commanders and manage the upper value, and no one can open all three checkpoints. Of course, it's the same if you have to go back, you can't hide anything hidden in the baggage.

From the Taisun Palace into the palace city, it is also the same to pass through the East Gate and the Donghua Gate, you think this is far away and needs two gates, you can see how big this imperial city is, how far the road is. It's impossible to go on foot, and it's too troublesome to go to Taisun by car, zuihou - anyway, in this imperial city, basic men can't get in, it's all the world of Chinese people, so he decided to ride over.

Xu Xun used to not talk about riding horses, and he had little contact with horses at all, and horses, which were valuable animals, were not kept by any farmer. Generally, farmers are willing to raise mules, because although the speed of mules is not very good, they have strong weight-bearing capacity and good endurance, and can ride or work, which is a suitable livestock for both sides. In the case of horses, it is not generally not raised by large families to ride, after all, the feed of horses is much finer. In the past, Zhao Juren's family raised mules, which can be seen. - Actually, it's a mule, Xu Xun has never ridden it, when she is outside, she either rides in a car or walks underground, and little girls, usually no one lets them ride livestock.

So the grandson decided to take Xu Xun on horseback riding. In other words, Xu Xun sat on a horse with him, he sat in the back, and Xu Xun sat in front - that is, they were destined to swagger through the market again.

Xu Xun didn't know if he was more afraid of riding a horse for the first time, or if he was more worried about the future. This kind of treatment of riding together is, of course, unprecedented. I really don't know how her sisters would react if Nanjing heard about it. She secretly hoped that Ma Shi and the others would look at their friendship with Mama Sun and not treat this kind of thing as a talking point and talk nonsense.

Perhaps these fears were more real and urgent, Xu Xun's fear of horses was relatively light, and with the encouragement and help of her grandson, she kicked the stirrup for the first time, and then successfully turned over and rode onto the horse, without the help of a stool - just a crotch. There was one more living thing, and she was a little panicked, so she could only stiffen and endure there. However, Taisun soon sat behind her, and shamelessly snatched her stirrup: the saddle of this horse is not very wide, and it can't accommodate two pedals, and Taisun is not a thin person, so as soon as he came up, Xu Xun basically sat on Taisun's lap.

This posture is a deep test of her balance and thigh strength, Xu Xun felt a little sore after sitting for a while, so she had to put all her weight on her grandson's legs, she was a little worried that the grandson would be crushed, and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Where would Taisun care about the weight of such a little girl, and said casually, "What's this." He urged the horse to gallop, but Xu Xun exclaimed, and he couldn't hide his body in the arms of his grandson.

After walking like this for a while, they went out from Taisun Palace and arrived at Taimiao first.

This is also the first time Xu Xun has seen the Taimiao in his life, and the average harem woman can see it a few times in her life, so she is still very lucky-canonized queen, princess, grandson, and princess, all of whom are going to come to the temple, and then ...... And then it's gone. For the emperor, he has to come several times a year, for example, when the eldest son of the emperor is born, the crown prince is canonized, and at such a time, he has to come to the temple to worship. Anyway, it is the largest family temple in the country, and it is also very deserted while it is brilliant and grand, and the grandson led the horse to let Xu Xun take a look at it from a distance, and then he was about to get off the horse, and it was really a toss up and down.

Then in the imperial city, the more important is the Sheji altar, which is still being repaired, and it is fenced off from afar, and you can see that there is a lot of construction going on inside. Then there is the office of the twenty-four yamen, which is nothing to see, the grandson mainly takes Xu Xun around to the west, the west garden because there is a liquid pool, so it is the most important part of the royal garden, it is bigger than the east, in addition to the liquid pool of the Yuan Dynasty, now just dug out is Nanhaizi, the same is also counted in the liquid pool, it is a pool of three mountains, and it is an allusion to the three mountains of the East China Sea.

Although it is summer, but today's weather is relatively cloudy, the cool breeze blows very cool, the horse slowly walked to the edge of the liquid pool, because the imperial city has not been officially opened, the twenty-four yamen are not stationed, the whole imperial city is very quiet, only some engineering sounds come from the direction of the Shejitan. Xu Xun and Taisun slowly put the horses along the stone road on the edge of the Taiye Pool, followed Ma Shi and them far behind, in front of them is a vast expanse of water, behind them are verdant flowers and trees, there are birds calling, there is the fragrance of flowers, there is a cool breeze, there is the shade of trees, and the north of the particularly vast blue sky and white clouds, such a summer, and Nanjing's hot and humid, narrow and □ Taisun Palace is simply a change of world. Xu Xun became happier and happier the more he walked, he didn't even want to go into the palace, and after walking by the pool for a while, he turned back to Taisun and said, "It's much better here than Nanjing, like a fairyland on earth." How many blessings have I cultivated in my previous life, so that I can be hitched by my eldest brother today and ride a horse on the edge of the Taiye Pool! ”

Taisun smiled and touched her sideburns, "I told you a long time ago, I don't know how much better it is than in the capital...... I'm used to living here in the future, so I don't miss home at all. Even the fruits and vegetables in the row are better than those in the south, so let them slaughter a big watermelon tonight and you'll know......"

The two were talking, and suddenly someone came on horseback and saluted Taisun on the horse, and Taisun was also very polite to him, and returned the salute with his chin, so he introduced Xu Xun. "This is Ruan An, the admiral eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, who was sent to the capital by the emperor to check whether the details of the imperial city have been completed."

The admiral eunuch is not a petty official, he is above all the eunuchs in the department, and there are only twenty-four admiral eunuchs in the twenty-four yamen, although the official position is similar to that of other eunuchs, but this weight is not the same. Xu Xun hurriedly bowed his head politely, Ruan An dismounted and kowtowed to the grandson and Xu Xun, and then turned over on the horse and said, "I heard that the young master got on the horse and came to Xiyuan, so the slave and maid hurriedly came." Fangcai Taimiao and Sheji Altar, the young master has already been there......"

Taisun's errand is very general, to inspect inside and outside, in general, it is to come to find faults and keep improving, many things he says others have to follow and change, so it is natural for opinions to be valued, for these eunuchs, their fate is likely to be decided in Taisun's casual words, Ruan An must be very important. Taisun also respected him very much, and praised him a few words, "I have seen a circle in the Taimiao yesterday, all colors are complete, today I look at it in the West Garden, everything else is just that, this Nanhaizi is very well repaired, compared to the last time I accompanied the emperor over, there are a lot of flowers and trees, it doesn't look like a newly dug pond at all, and Long Live Mountain is also very visible." ”

Xu Xun was told this, but suddenly remembered-yes, if it wasn't for Taisun and her pointing it out, she wouldn't have known that the South China Sea was newly dug up. It is also a flower, tree and onion cage, which feels like it has been built for many years.

Money can make ghosts push ghosts, and power can make ghosts push ghosts. Xu Xun didn't want to ask what kind of knowledge was hidden behind this, she was sure that Taisun would not know, he, if he could know how much money was spent to achieve this effect, he would already be very good at being in charge.

It was at this time that Xu Xun understood that Weishenme's grandmothers were so calm about her dowry. Heavenly family's money doesn't seem to be money at all, is her little thing a lot? Compared with the South China Sea, it's really a drop in the bucket......

Because of the relationship between horseback riding, when the grandson asked Ruan An to go hand in hand with him to facilitate talking, Ruan An was not polite, the two horses leaned together, and slowly walked towards the Xihua Gate, from here you can enter the palace to visit the palace, Xu Xun only looked around, and did not listen to what they were saying. After sitting for a long time, she felt that her waist and hips were a little stiff, so she twisted and adjusted her posture.

The two of them rode together, and there was definitely no gap in the middle, Xu Xun basically sat all the way on the thigh of the grandson, because of the posture, her legs were naturally very separated, so ...... What part must be separated, and there is no way to do it if it is close to a certain part of the grandson.

I didn't feel anything in that posture just now, but now that I twisted my buttocks, Xu Xun felt as if her butt had been attached to a hard thing, and she was not unfamiliar with this thing, so it was impossible to make such a fuss and not recognize it. I was a little dizzy at the moment: this ...... This one is too ...... It's embarrassing.

Xu Xun was a little out of ideas, he glanced back at Taisun, and saw that he was talking to Ruan An with a calm expression, as if he hadn't noticed this at all, but he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around, but he didn't expect Taisun to glance at her, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he also moved a □ slightly, naturally as if he was a little tired on the horse - the problem is that he rubbed it like this, but he took his own thing from Xu Xun's buttocks. The ditch was freed and poked all over her thighs.

In summer, everyone's clothes are very thin, Xu Xun wore a gauze skirt, and below it was a pair of Luo pants as thin as a cicada's wings, and Taisun was also wearing light Luo pants...... Xu Xun could feel the shape of the grandson-

This time, she felt that she was in big trouble.
