Situ Mingyue nodded,

"Thank you Ning Lan, I'm new here, and I don't know a lot of rules, and I hope you two will give me a lot of advice."

The two nodded, did not speak, the three of them walked and walked, and suddenly a river appeared in front of them, and the houses on both sides of the river bank were neatly arranged, forming a lane, Ning Zi told Situ Mingyue that this river originally originated from the Qingming Canal, and this lane is Yongxiang.

Situ Mingyue knew about it and was about to continue walking, but Ning Lan stopped her,

"The girl can't be gone, let's go back and rest."

Situ Mingyue looked at her and knew that it was a little inconvenient, so she nodded and went back, the place she arranged for Situ Mingyue to live was called Ming Pavilion, there was a very spacious courtyard in Ming Pavilion, there were pond rockeries, there were east and west wings, and there was a lobby bedroom, there was a water leak in the lobby, there was a wooden floor, a bed, a couch and a cypress table, as well as a five-color saddle felt and a dragon beard seat, after Situ Mingyue placed the luggage, she saw that the time was three o'clock in the afternoon, and she felt a little empty in her stomach, so she asked Ning Lan,

"Sister Ning Lan, where are we going to eat?"

"If you go to the public kitchen and cook by yourself if you miss the time, there is an earthen stove."

In the kitchen, there are dim sum such as bean paste porridge, sesame rice, steamed cakes, soup cakes, shortbread, lily seeds, almond tofu, candied fruits, and sweet drinks such as floating ant sake, sugarcane juice, and spiced drinks. Situ Mingyue looked at it, took some casually, and went to the house to eat, Ning Lan and Ning Zi also took the meal and followed her back to eat, Ning Lan looked at Situ Mingyue, looked at the things in her bowl, and said,

"The girl is worthy of being a dancer, the amount of food is so simple,"

Situ Mingyue smiled, didn't speak, chewed and ate slowly,

After taking a nap at noon, Situ Mingyue wanted to go to the toilet and asked Ning Lan, who told her,

"There is no toilet in the palace, but there is a bedpan in the side room of the Ming Pavilion, and when it is used up, it is called to the eunuch to clean it."

Situ Mingyue felt that her scalp was a little numb, but she still went, and she had to get used to it.

Ning Lan reminded Situ Mingyue again,

"Don't walk around casually in the palace, you must enter and exit more than two people, now I can tell you the layout of this palace, out of our courtyard gate, go north, along the road there are pine and cypress garden, cuizhu garden and plum garden, and then walk for a while, you can see the six bureau courtyard, these six bureau courtyard, refers to the Shang Palace Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang Fu Bureau, Shang Shi Bureau, Shang Sleep Bureau and Shang Gong Bureau. There is a small eunuch guarding the gate of the courtyard of the Sixth Bureau with a sentry stick, to prohibit the palace people from entering and leaving at will, and there is a Taicang in the past, which is a large warehouse for storing grains, and the grain in this warehouse is enough to supply 100,000 people for three years!

After Wu Yue visited, he was shocked by the scale of Taicang and the richness of the inventory, and said to himself: "Although the concubine is in the rivers and lakes, there is no legend of the concubine in the rivers and lakes; Although the concubine is in Taicang, Taicang is not owned by the concubine! ”

Situ Mingyue sighed, no wonder the people in the palace never worry about eating, Ning Lan continued,

"Walking north, there will be a stage, and behind the stage there will be a pavilion for makeup and rest, and the girl will go there to practice dancing with the concubines in the future."

Situ Mingyue nodded.

At night, Situ Mingyue took off her skirt and skirt, and Ning Lan brought a piece of soap to scrub her, which was the most similar thing Situ Mingyue had ever seen and modern times, which made her feel confused.

Before the sun rises, the melodious bells have already sounded, and the city gate and the palace gate are opened in turn.

Situ Mingyue got up early, she had been trained by her grandmother when she was in the eldest princess's mansion, and she got up very early every day, Ning Lan and Ning Zi looked at Situ Mingyue with some surprise, and the two called to wash Situ Mingyue's face, and then helped her to the bronze mirror to dress up.

Pull the hair into a snail bun with a colored ribbon, insert a jade flute, put on hair wax, then apply rouge, draw eyebrows and eyeliner, tie a sachet, and after grooming, Ning Lan began to make the bed and fold the quilt, wipe the floor and dragon beard mat, tidy up the room, Ning Zi took a broom and a bucket to the outside to sprinkle and sweep the garden, and now there is no need to practice dancing, Situ Mingyue picked up a lotus canopy kettle to water the flowers, plants, fruits and trees.

Chenshi, the three of them went to the kitchen to eat, Situ Mingyue still controlled her appetite, she didn't want to eat more, it was really not her favorite to eat here, she was a picky eater, Ning Lan and Ning Zi took Situ Mingyue to the Inner Literature Museum to learn court etiquette and various talents, the Inner Literature Museum has two palace doctors, responsible for educating the palace people, there are many people who think they are talented, but after Situ Mingyue came, he memorized poems and songs, many of them had not heard of them, and they were a little ashamed, Ning Lan Ning Zi was also very surprised, Afraid of causing a conflict, he hurriedly took Situ Mingyue back, Ning Lan reminded Situ Mingyue,

"The girl is really talented, but you must remember not to show it, otherwise there will be many problems in the future,"

Situ Mingyue also felt that she had just passed a little, and she shouldn't get carried away, thank Ning Lan for reminding her,

Back at the residence, Situ Mingyue felt a little bored, and she was a little worried when she couldn't see Situ Jing, in order to divert her attention, she looked at Ning Lan and asked,

"Sister has seen the holy car?"

Ning Lan smiled and said proudly,

"Of course I have seen it, our majesty is infatuated with the queen,"

Of course, Situ Mingyue knew how deep Tang Taizong's love for Empress Changsun was, she didn't speak, Ning Lan did continue,

"Your Majesty loves Empress Wende deeply, since November 4 last year after the burial of Empress Wende in the Zhaoling of Jiuzhi Mountain, day and night, and also sent the queen's cronies to live in the Yuan Palace in the house, continue to serve the queen, and ordered the skilled craftsmen to build a high layer in the forbidden garden, the layer view has only recently been completed, Your Majesty will go to climb the layer to look at the Zhaoling Tomb in the north after the day is scattered!

It is conceivable that Empress Wende has a status in His Majesty's heart, and looking at His Majesty's appearance, she may never be a queen again! Ning Zi suddenly patted Ning Lan's mouth, Ning Lan turned her head, looked at Situ Mingyue, and said,

"Bah, I'm talking nonsense, girl, listen to it as a joke."

Situ Mingyue shook her head, not caring much, it seems that these people know her intentions. She looked at Ning Lan and asked,

"There will be no more queens, how can it be, the beauties in this palace are like clouds, how can Empress Wende have such a great charm?"

Ning Lan didn't care about her, and she didn't care about Ning Zi's reminder, and said,

"I tell a story to the girl, the girl will understand, Empress Wende in June last year, on her deathbed to His Majesty said that she can not be buried after her death, the burial is the meaning of hiding, that is, the descendants are not seen, since ancient times the sages have advocated frugality, only the world without Tao can raise the mountain, the world labors, so I ask for the mountain to be buried, no need to get a grave, no coffin, only use a shingle, thrifty to the end, so that she is not forgotten, Your Majesty is very moved, so I said that Your Majesty should not be established."
