Chapter 65: Staying in Anlan Palace
On the day of the departure of the southern tour, thousands of people rushed out of the Forbidden City, stretching endlessly.
In addition to the emperor's family, the southern tour also included 32 ministers, 611 guards Zhang Jing, and 2,559 officers and soldiers.
The royal carriage passed through Zhili into Shandong, and then took a boat from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the south, passing through Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province, and the final destination was Hangzhou.
Passing through the place, the road is paved with loess, the clear water is clean, and the royal road is according to the standard of three feet wide and six feet in the center of the road, all of which are required to be solid and smooth.
The four provinces have built more than 20 palaces for the emperor and other people to rest, each of which is an excellent place to enjoy the scenery through the winding paths.
Everywhere Yingyun goes, she has to sigh, it's really extravagant!
However, this also allowed her to see the real prosperous era of Kangqian, rich in things and people, and the world leader, which is really worthy of its name.
After traveling for about ten days, the holy car was stationed in the palace of Anlan Dragon King Temple. The concubines and concubines were in a hurry, it was a dry road and a waterway, and they were already exhausted, and they were overjoyed to see such a palace comparable to the Forbidden City.
The palace is built on the bank of the Grand Canal, bordering Luoma Lake in the north, the Yellow River in the south, and Maling Mountain in the east.
Yingyun took the queen mother from one side of the "Heqing" archway door to enter, through the imperial tablet pavilion, there are bell towers and drum towers on both sides, the breeze blows, the eaves corner hangs with wind chimes and bells, it is very pleasant.
After the bell and drum tower, the second courtyard is the green tile hall, the front of the hall takes the white stone as the platform, takes the jade as the railing, and the forehead of the main hall hangs a piece of gilded plaque of "Blessing Ronghe". This is the place where the emperor temporarily handles the affairs of the court.
The concubines bypassed this place and arrived at the dormitory where they were staying. In the middle is the emperor's dormitory Yuwang Palace, the two sides imitate the east and west six palaces and build, the courtyard is planted with cypress, persimmon, paulownia, Tsubaki, Huai, Yang six trees, take the meaning of "a hundred cities with spring", "a hundred years of Huaiyang".
As soon as Yingyun arrived at the dormitory, she lay down on the bed and sighed: "I can finally sleep peacefully, Anai, this way is shaking, I feel that the house is shaking and shaking." ”
Anai smiled: "The slave will fetch water for you to freshen up, rest for the night, and Ming'er will not faint." ”
"Good!" Yingyun was in a good mood and left the cage-like Forbidden City, where there was a breath of freedom everywhere, and even the air smelled sweet.
After dinner, Yingyun sympathized with everyone who was tired all the way, so she let them all rest.
Anai wanted to serve Yingyun to sleep, but she also refused, so she had to obediently go to the side room to rest.
Yingyun quieted down and lay on the bed, perhaps too excited, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so she simply put on her clothes and got up, and walked alone along the path on the side of the palace.
The east and west corridor courtyard extends to the south, there are pavilions, platforms, floors, pavilions, there are also small bridges and flowing waters, where they pass, there are peonies, peonies, plum blossoms, orchids and other strange flowers again. Because it was already dark, these flowers were shrouded in darkness, and only the smell of a faint fragrance floated.
Yingyun didn't carry a lantern, but walked around casually, aimlessly. The surroundings were very quiet, and occasionally I heard the footsteps of the guards, but they were also far away.
After all, it's a strange place.,Yingyun, the road idiot, lost her direction after turning around and around.,Unconsciously went farther and farther.。。
It wasn't until she saw a faint palace lamp from a distance that she strode forward, maybe she could borrow someone to ask for directions.
