Zhenwu is already using the means of wanting to capture the old and indulge, to deal with this kind of teenage girl, it is naturally easy to catch, if this Zhou Roujia is not interested, then it is no fun to stay, since he is willing to stay, he is not very sorry for himself, it is rare to get to the bottom of the reason why she was unwilling to enter the palace before, when she should be confused, it is better to be confused.

Nodding slightly, he smiled and said, "You have a soft and kind temperament, so let's live with Concubine Qi." ”

Zhou Roujia knew that Concubine Qi was the Han girl that Zhenwu had recruited in Shanghai, and when she heard that she was the most favored in the palace now, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "Courtier, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

"Well, kneel down first." Zhenwu said with a smile.

Zhou Roujia, who was waiting, bowed and retreated, but Bao Fuquan hurried to say, knelt down and kowtowed, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is not useless to enter the palace to stay overnight to inspect the show girl, whether the show girl is smart and spiritual, whether she is gentle and docile, whether she has bad habits, etc. are all included in the assessment.

There are bad habits such as talking in dreams and spreading hysteria, or grinding teeth and snoring while sleeping, etc., and there is a peculiar smell, with bad omen, etc., and the show girls can never stay in the palace, and the slaves are brave and pray that the emperor will be sympathetic to the difficulties of the slaves. ”

Listening to Bao Fuquan's words, Zhenwu also realized that this matter really can't be done by temperament, the IQ of the show girl is directly related to the quality of the imperial heir, and the show girl who grinds her teeth and snores when she sleeps is also a kind of torture for him, if he meets someone with sleepwalking, the palace will not be at peace, there is a fox smell, or a white tiger, he hurriedly stopped.

Glancing at Bao Fuquan, he smiled and said, "You slave, but you are changing your way to intercede for them?" ”

Seeing that Zhenwu didn't seem to be annoyed, Bao Fuquan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and kowtowed before saying: "The slave doesn't dare, but the female official I just heard reported that the show girl named Zhang Jingru was snoring, and she was brave and rapped." ”

Snore? Is it an incorrect sleeping position, or is it sick? This matter cannot be delegated, otherwise, those eunuchs and female officials will make trouble again, and they muttered for a moment. Zhen Wucai said: "These days they will be assessed first. I have selected them, and I will arrange for another person to evaluate them, and if there is a discrepancy, let them seek more blessings for themselves. ”

Zhenwu, who listened to it, had no intention of pursuing this matter, and Bao Fuquan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

After Bao Fuquan's stirring, Zhenwu also lost interest in going to other places to assess the show girl. It was still necessary to leave plenty of time for the eunuch female officials to stay overnight for the assessment, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he thought of the princesses who were paid tribute by the Wa Kingdom and the daimyo Ji from all over the country, and immediately asked casually: "Have those women in the Wa Kingdom also passed the strict assessment?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and said: "After a strict assessment, only six people are qualified, and the others are trained to become dancers." What kind of fan dance is specially danced in the Wa country. ”

Fan dance? Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "The Wa National Dance is nothing more than that, let them rehearse a few more, both the cherry blossom dance and the geisha dance." After a slight pause, he then asked, "Where are they now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, in the West Garden." Bao Fuquan bowed busily.

"Let's go to the West Garden." Zhenwu stood up and said, "Let Zhou Roujia accompany you." ”

Yes? Bao Fuquan couldn't help but be stunned, Zhou Roujia was still a show girl. I'm afraid it's not suitable for driving. However, seeing that Zhenwu was quite interested, he didn't dare to spoil the fun. Hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave will go and pass the decree." ”

The west garden is located on the bank of the Wanquan River, the east is based on the Changchun Garden, the west is beautiful in the Xiangshan, the north looks at the smoke tree of Jimen, known as the ten miles of water cloud township, and has the name of the north of the Yangtze River, in fact, it is the attached garden of the Changchun Garden, although the name is attached, but it is relatively independent, self-contained, it was built in the 38th year of Kangxi, and was completed in the 51st year of Kangxi.

Compared with the natural and simple style of Changchun Garden, the West Garden is obviously much more exquisite, a building, a platform, a pavilion, a pavilion, a corridor, a pavilion, a pavilion, a pavilion, a bridge, and other architectural styles, are all beautiful, and with the surrounding mountain water system, flowers and trees ingenious matching, natural, each scenic spot is full of poetry and picturesqueness, but each is different.

However, Zhenwu rarely set foot in the West Garden, he prefers the style of Changchun Garden, and furthermore, Kangxi built the West Garden is of great significance, on the second day of October in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, Kangxi said in the edict to the princes and ministers: "I have no day to the crown prince Yinren to govern the world, love and educate Li Shu, and maintain the hearts of the people." I also tasted the filial piety of Song Xiaozong to raise Gaozong, and Yu Yunren said: I will pay you with political affairs, and I should choose the best place for water and soil. Later, he saw that what he had done was not good, and it was difficult to support the heavy weapon, so he gave up this hope. ”

Judging from this edict, Kangxi once germinated the idea of Zen when he built this garden, this West Garden is its place of recuperation after its Zen position, now Kangxi has been Zen, retreated to the second line, Zhenwu intends to stabilize the court, that is, next year Kangxi will be taken back to Beijing, the Qing Dynasty established the country with courtesy, and ruled the country with filial piety, he is the Son of Heaven, but he does not want to be criticized on this, which damages his prestige, and is not conducive to his future drastic innovation, and it is because of this idea that he rarely sets foot in the West Garden.

Zhou Roujia is driving for the first time, sitting in a small sedan chair is both like and nervous, from time to time secretly look at the back of Zhenwu in front of her, I can't tell what it feels like, but more sweet, she is still the identity of a show girl, naturally there is no palace maid eunuch who attends her, however, the eunuch and female official in the palace are the best at observing the wind and color, seeing Zhenwu treating Zhou Roujia so unusually, she naturally tried her best to stammer.

Zhang Yiming, the eunuch who followed Zhou Roujia's sedan chair, saw that she was a little uncomfortable, and whispered comforting all the way along: "The emperor is actually very easy-going, the little master doesn't have to be too restrained, the emperor likes to walk, he will walk for half an hour every day, and other mothers in the palace often accompany the emperor for a walk, and they are generally the mothers who sleep that night."

When walking, the emperor likes to pull home, this is the emperor's way of resting and relaxing, what the emperor asks, the little lord answers at will, however, sometimes the emperor will also ponder things, if you don't open your mouth for a long time, the little lord had better pull down a few steps, don't speak, so as not to interrupt the emperor's train of thought, and, the most important thing is that the harem can't do politics, and the little lord should not involve government affairs when he speaks. ”

The people who listen to the emperor's walk are generally the mothers who sleep at night, Zhou Roujia's heart jumped wildly, and her pretty face was red and hot, did the emperor want her to sleep tonight? As for what Zhang Yiming said later, she didn't listen to it at all.

Not long after, the sedan chair entered the West Garden, soon after entering the garden, Zhou Roujia was attracted by the scenery inside, a pavilion and pavilion in Changchun Garden, Langxie Pavilion Bridge are all plain and elegant, do not do algae painting carving, many primary colors, the whole is the natural and elegant characteristics, and in the West Garden, the pavilions and pavilions in the verdant hall are splendid, and the royal atmosphere is more obvious.

was looking at himself in a fascination, but Zhang Digui reminded softly beside him: "The emperor's sedan chair has stopped, and the little master should get off the sedan chair." ”

Zhou Roujia turned her head and saw that Zhenwu had already gotten off the sedan chair, she was looking at her with a smile, and hurriedly got off the sedan chair, and greeted her with some trepidation.

"Your Majesty." Zhou Roujia said a blessing, a little panicked in her heart, and a touch of shame flew on her face.

Zhou Roujia is already beautiful and refined, and at this time she is shy and delicate, which is even more lovable, Zhenwu smiled slightly, and said: "Accompany me for a walk, relax, no need to be formal, I prefer to be more honest." After speaking, he turned around and walked slowly, and Zhou Roujia hurriedly lowered her head and slowly followed.

Here Bao Fuquan retreated, and with a smile, the eunuch hurriedly greeted him, bowed and said: "The chief manager, the women's troupe of the Japanese country has been ordered to go down, and it can be driven at any time." ”

Bao Fuquan nodded and said, "Tell them that the emperor is happy when they are waiting, which is not only good for them, but also good for the Japanese country." ”

"Wow." The little eunuch hurriedly bowed and said.

On the river embankment, Zhenwu also chatted with Zhou Roujia without a match, "Are you still used to living in Jifengxuan?" ”

"Back to the emperor."

"There's no formality, I listen to it all day long."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Roujia said in a low voice: "The courtiers like Jifengxuan, the white cranes, peacocks, and red fish there, and they are quiet. ”

"Homesick?"

"I thought about it at night."

"Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"No, but I'm envious."

"Envy?" Zhenwu smiled slightly, and said: "I will teach you another day, and in the future, I will take you with me on my northern tour, so that you can see the endless prairie." ”

"Really?" Zhou Roujia blurted out, and after speaking, she felt speechless, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Zhenwu smiled indifferently: "Naturally, it's true." ”

Seeing that Zhenwu was close and easy-going, and didn't care about etiquette, Zhou Roujia became relaxed when he arrived, and said with a smile: "Great, I've heard them talk about the beauty of the prairie countless times, and I've long wanted to see it." ”

Seeing that she showed her little daughter's demeanor, Zhenwu said with a smile: "The territory of the Qing Dynasty is vast, and there are countless beautiful scenery, not only the prairie is beautiful, but the south of the Yangtze River is even more beautiful, and the scenery of the sea is not inferior, and the sunrise on the sea is even more beautiful." ”

Zhou Roujia's eyes lit up immediately, and she said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, can the courtiers really go to Jiangnan and see the sea?" ”

"Of course, how can I break my word?" Zhenwu said and gently took her hand and said, "However, I can't call myself a courtier anymore." ”

Zhou Roujia struggled slightly, then lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, concubine." ”

Autumn is followed by winter.

At the beginning of October, the first snow of Zhenwu's first year ushered in Jingshi, and Zhenwu also moved back to the Forbidden City from Changchun Garden, because the warmest place in winter is the Forbidden City.

The heating design of the Forbidden City can be described as unique, and the walls of the palace warm pavilion are all made of hollow "sandwich walls", commonly known as "fire walls". There is a fire channel dug under the wall, the charcoal mouth of adding fire is set under the eaves of the corridor outside the hall, the charcoal fire is burned in the charcoal mouth, the heat can be warmed to the whole hall along the sandwich wall, even the kang bed in the pavilion is also warm, both clean and safe, but the consumption of charcoal is a little large.
