Chapter 8: Entering the Palace
Although the chances of finding the four artifacts were slim, she didn't want to make herself look like a person who already knew when the deadline would be, just waiting to die. Among the four artifacts, the Ghost Black Wood that she thought was the easiest to obtain had been ruled out, so now the one she knew the most was probably the Soul Suppression Stone. Therefore, Ruoxin decided to go to the capital to find the Soul Stone first.
Before leaving Beijing, Ruoxin went to Qianzhuang to take out her savings and went to Nanfeng Building to redeem her love. Love is not a red card in Nanfeng Building, so when he heard that Ruoxin wanted to redeem himself, Boss Chen was also very happy to offer a price, which was within Ruoxin's estimate.
The climate in the capital was cold, and after Ruoxin bought warm clothes and bedding, she went to prepare the carriage and food. When everything was ready, she went to Beijing with the two lovers.
From Wanchun County to the capital, about half a month's journey. During this time, I don't know if it's because the dragon energy in the capital is extremely strong, the closer she gets to the capital, Ruoxin feels that her body is a little better than it was at the beginning, she still sympathizes with the yang energy of the three days, but now, although she still can't shine the sun for too long, she doesn't have to hold an umbrella to shade the sun even at dusk as in the past. When the sun hits the skin, it only feels a slight burning sensation, not as painful as it was at the beginning.
There was almost no rest all the way, and he didn't complain a word, just quietly followed the side, but most of the time, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, Ruoxin didn't misdistinguish his increasingly pale face, and then took his pulse, but did not diagnose any problems.
After arriving in the capital, Ruoxin rented a room in a poor family in the outer city, sympathized with her and moved in as a husband and wife, only to say that the husband and wife went to Beijing to find relatives. As this was not the case, the family took the money and let them live there.
Unknowingly, it has been a month since Ruoxin's sympathetic two arrived in the capital. Ruoxin secretly inquired about the Soul Stone. Money can make ghosts grind, this saying is common in ancient and modern times. For the affairs in the court, the most understanding is the eunuch and palace maid in the palace, although it cost some money, but Ruoxin still got a more reliable information, the soul stone, it seems that it was given to King Yingning by the emperor many years ago.
Although the words were in her ears, she would listen to fifty percent at most, but after a few more analyses, Ruoxin finally decided to target Yingning Wangfu.
......
Red walls and yellow tiles, red door copper locks. Ruoxin walked to the front of Yingning Palace, looked up at the black plaque in the center of the main entrance of the palace, and the "Yingning Palace" written in gold characters on it seemed to be a dragon and a tiger.
This is Yingning Palace, no matter how many times she has seen it, Ruoxin still has to sigh at the luxury and magnificence of the royal family.
Yingning Wangfu was originally the mansion where the emperor lived when he was still the prince in the past, the circumference of the palace wall was two miles, and the area was indeed huge, and after the first emperor was enthroned and entered the palace, this house was no longer occupied. It was not until the death of the first emperor and the accession of Emperor Ying Zheng that he reassigned this vacant mansion to King Yingning.
Before King Yingning moved in, the emperor also sent someone to renovate the old mansion, so today's Yingning palace is magnificent, the grandeur and magnificence are not less than the palace, the house is eaves and arches, the forest garden is exquisite and beautiful, and some people even call this Yingning palace "Little Imperial City", which also shows the degree of love of his brother for the younger brother of this mother's compatriot.
Therefore, if according to those who are in the know, King Ying Ning likes strange antiques, then it is not impossible for the emperor to give him the soul suppression stone.
Walking to the side door of the palace, Ruoxin gently buckled the ring of the heavy copper lock.
After a while, a man dressed as a servant of the palace opened the side door, and after identifying Ruoxin from under the half-lowered cloak and hat, he stepped back and gave way, and said, "Sir, you are back." ”
Ruoxin smiled, nodded, and stepped into the place where she had only taken up the position of husband half a month ago.
As the sun set in the western mountains, Ruoxin did not look around, so she only went to her destination, Gyeongbok Garden.
Jingfuyuan is where Guan Jingru, a side princess of King Yingning, has passed away, and now it is a pair of children of Guan Jingru who live in it, and King Yingning arranged his concubine Qingyun, and it is also Guan Jingru's original dowry maid who lived there with the twin brothers and sisters, and the purpose was to let Qingyun take good care of them.
Ruoxin learned from the maid who served the two children that Guan Jingru was gentle and virtuous by nature, knowledgeable and courteous, and was the first person to marry Wang Mingming of Yingning as the side princess, perhaps taking into account the relationship between the royal family and the Dongheng Dashang Guan family. But no matter what, in the years since Guan Jingru got married, although King Ying Ning is still in love, in the palace, Guan Jingru is also very good.
Jingfuyuan is an independent courtyard of Yingning Wangdongyuan. Walking into Gyeongbok Garden, but seeing the courtyard is deep, the garden is planted with evergreen pines and cypresses, and the towering ancient trees that go straight into the sky, which looks beautiful and quiet.
Guan Jingru was originally a Jiangnan woman, so King Ying Ning built Jingfu Garden like a small garden in the south of the Yangtze River according to her preferences, which was a little more elegant and meticulous than the other buildings.
"Sir—" As soon as she stepped into Jingfu Garden, Ruoxin heard a childish call from afar.
Hearing the voice, Ruoxin looked in that direction and saw a beautiful little girl dressed in silk and satin running from a bridge with a white marble railing, shouting happily as she ran, "Sir, sir." Then he rushed into Ruoxin's arms.
The little girl is fed very well, and at a young age, her body has a little weight. was hit by the little fat girl and stumbled a few steps, Ruoxin was not annoyed, touched her head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Ah soft, are you waiting for Mr.?" ”
The little girl asked Ruoxin to squat down, and her two warm hands gently touched Ruoxin's face, helped her rub her cold skin, and said in a tender and soft voice: "Sir, you have to call Ah Soft "Keluan County Lord", otherwise my aunt will beat Mr. Banban, and it hurts to hit the board." ”
