Chapter 56: The first time I saw Concubine Shen visiting the Imperial Garden
"Let her in!" The emperor brushed his sleeves and sat on the throne, although the dignity and arrogance can be seen between the eyebrows, the pair of black pupils under the thick eyebrows are bottomless, and the eyes and face are lowered, but there is no charm, but it is very lazy.
Hearing that the palace announced that he had entered the palace, he immediately converged his skirt and moved lightly into the hall, the skin was like condensation, and the lead was light, a delicate golden box upside down the lotus hairpin gently rolled up three thousand green silk, the headdress did not have bead flower tassels, and there was a cloud-like aura of Wushan between the eyebrows. Dressed in a cage, he has no quarrel with the world, and his beautiful face is fresh and refined.
Su Liuyin watched in surprise as she passed in front of her, she had already heard that Shen Qingying's eldest sister was the current Shen Guifei, her eyes were like looking forward to it, and Shen Qingying's shadow could be seen between her cheeks and frowns, and she was slightly blessed to greet the people in the seat.
The person on the seat rolled his cold eyes, as if a cold light shot out, his eyes looked directly at the person in front of him, completely without the lazy and contemptuous look of Fang Cai, as if there was an invisible pressure, his left hand slightly supported the dragon chair, a trace of playfulness flashed in his eyes, he stood up and couldn't help but look at the person in front of him carefully, sure enough, he never took me to heart, and snorted slightly coldly: "What's the matter with Concubine Shen?" It's inconvenient today, let's discuss it another day! ”
Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, looked at her, and his eyes revealed an incomprehensible meaning.
His Royal Highness's people lightly opened their lips: "The concubine is fine, I heard that my sister's child is here, but I just hope to see the last one and say a few words!" After Shen Guifei finished speaking, she turned sideways and looked at Su Liuyin with a gentle face: It is really a beautiful embryo, and her appearance is very similar to that of Qing Ying, or even worse!
"Child, I haven't seen you for ten years, it's really a big girl! Wrong, Yin'er is married......" Concubine Shen took Su Liuyin's hand affectionately, her eyes flashed with crystal light, and she looked at Duan Chuyi again, her eyes were full of mixed tastes.
Shen Niangniang ......" Duan Chuyi bowed and said, this Shen Guifei has always been low-key, and she has no impression of her, but her brother has always been a high-profile show off of his family property, and he can live in this harem without fighting or grabbing, mostly because of his brother's financial support!
Su Liuyin held her hand affectionately, and she didn't know what to say, she hadn't experienced the intimacy brought by this kind of relatives for a long time! I couldn't help but have tears in my eyes.
"Shen Niangniang, it turns out that Sister Yin'er is your niece, now Coco is fine, you have to move around often in the future, so that Cheng'er won't be so boring now!" Zhu Cheng happily took Shen Guifei's hand, she likes Shen Guifei very much, Shen Guifei has no children after being brutalized by the Ke family, but she is very good to the children in the harem, and she does not intrigue with the harem concubines on weekdays, she is indeed virtuous and virtuous! His brother Shen Wan Sanxiu contributed money and efforts to the country, rewarding the border soldiers, and even this Bauhinia City was built with the support of most of his financial resources! It's just that I don't know why my father is cold to Shen Guifei every time.
"What Cheng'er said is excellent! It's great to find a good time to get together! Shen Guifei smiled and showed elegance.
"Shen Niangniang, how could you not be looking for an opportunity, this is already there now!" Zhu Cheng smiled innocently, turned to the emperor and said: "Father, you have been obsessed with wood carving recently, and your palace garden (imperial garden) must have your craftsmanship, so can you borrow Cheng'er to entertain guests and appreciate your father's exquisite work!" ”
Concubine Zheng frowned slightly, thinking about it, if Cheng'er continued to talk nonsense in this hall and angered the saint, it would be worth the loss.
"You kid! How did I repay the loan, but I have treated Cheng'er badly? Only then did the person on the throne smile and reply to Fang Cai's lazy state.
"Father is very good to Cheng'er, then Cheng'er has thanked his father!" Zhu Cheng smiled and took Su Liuyin and looked at Duan Chuyi and said, "Son, your princess will lend it to this princess first!" ”
Duan Chuyi bowed his head and said, "Shen Guifei, princess, there are still some trivial matters to deal with below, so please entertain you!" He looked at Su Liuyin again and said, "Don't delay Princess Niangniang's energy too much, go home early, Chengyu will be waiting for you outside Yudao Street!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is feeling a little unwell, please retire first!"
Feeling unwell, Su Liuyin looked at him worriedly, it didn't look like he was sick! Is it because of the alcohol?
"Stand down!" The emperor frowned, twisted his fingers over his eyebrows, and said slightly tiredly.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has also retired!" Wei Zhongxian has already figured out the emperor's temperament, and now he is going to send off guests.
Concubine Zheng is naturally a person with a bright heart, and it is not a problem to bow and leave.
Yingtenjo Castle is divided into the inner city of the city, Miyagi Ward, and the military district along the river. Miyagi is located at the western end of the city, but it occupies one-fifth of the city.
Duan Chuyi walked out of the Qianqing Palace quickly, out of the noon gate, and then out of the Yudao Street to Hongwu Gate, it can be seen that in the east-west direction, the axis of Chang'an Street to the north is Hongwu Gate, and when it comes to today's parking place, Cheng Yu greeted him from afar, and Duan Chuyi's body fell softly on Cheng Yu's shoulder.
Cheng Yu helped him into the carriage, and there was a doubt in his heart: The prince is drinking again?
……
"Sister Yin'er, we are now in Yudao Street, its side of the east side of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Engineering, the left side of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, the Left Army Governor's Mansion, the Right Army Governor's Mansion, the former military Governor's Mansion, the rear military Governor's Mansion, both sides of the Qinglong Bridge, the White Tiger Bridge. The left of the end door is the altar of the community, and the right is the temple. The left is the Wuying Palace, the right is the Wenhua Palace, and the city is the Wulou and Wenlou, and we are now in the palace on the east side of the Carrier Palace Taiji Palace, and the west side is the West Palace and the Palace Garden! The palace queen garden is behind the Kunning Palace! Zhu Cheng took Su Liuyin's hand and introduced it in detail.
"This Bauhinia City is really big, there must be many interesting places, has the princess traveled all over this palace city?" Su Liuyin felt that this princess had been conveying kindness to herself, and she slowly opened the conversation.
"Not yet, Cheng'er has no friends, and has not been out of the palace, even this palace has not traveled, the main gate in the north is the Taiping Gate, is the "Three Law Division" - the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple, the people in the palace call it the "Heavenly Prison", the mother said that the crying outside the Taiping Gate is endless day and night, and it will hook the soul of the child, so people call the Taiping Embankment leading to the "Heavenly Prison" "Lonely Ridge", I have never been anywhere, Cheng'er also had friends when I was a child, I don't know why I was locked up there, Cheng'er still remembered that it was the first night of the year, he told Cheng'er that the flower market lights above the market were like day, and it was dusk when the willow tops on the moon were on the moon, and they met in front of Yudao Street, but Cheng'er waited for him all night and didn't come, and then he heard the eunuchs in the palace say that he and his family were locked up there, and they were all over the house, Cheng'er didn't dare to ask his father, and his mother didn't let Cheng'er go to see him! Cheng'er has no idea of going to the street market outside the palace! Zhu Cheng said and lowered his eyes sadly.
"Cheng'er, don't think about the past anymore, it will only hurt your body! It's all in the past! Shen Guifei looked at her with a distressed face, she was the most simple and kind among the children in the harem, and she was also the closest to her.
Su Liuyin listened to her past and was also pitiful for her, this imperial family has always been the most ruthless imperial family, and in history, it is not uncommon for the royal family to fight in the same room, fratricide, killing brothers and fathers, etc. are extremely cruel, even if they have a high status and live a luxurious and rich life? Beneath their glossy appearance, unmasked and unmasked, undercurrents surge, often hiding the insidiousness and cruelty of power struggles.
"Princess, don't be sad, haven't you never seen a street market? When the princess is free, she invites the princess to go with her! It's sure to make the princess have a lot of fun! Su Liuyin hugged the princess's shoulders and said comfortingly.
Zhu Cheng nodded and said, "Sister Yin'er just needs to call me Cheng'er, Cheng'er wants to be friends with you!" “
Su Liuyin naturally smiled and nodded, it seems that it is not bad to have a princess friend, I think she is not even afraid of Wei Zhongxian, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, if she is bullied by Duan Chuyi one day, there are also people who can support the scene!
Unconsciously have arrived at the palace garden, with it as the center, there are pavilions and pavilions spread out in front of it and on both sides, the architectural layout of the pavilions and pavilions is symmetrical but not rigid, stretching and not scattered. With the Qin'an Hall as the center, nearly dozens of buildings of various types are evenly arranged on both sides, and the pavilions are exquisitely chic, sparse and dense, and the design ideas are very ingenious!
The verdant pine, plum cypress, and bamboo in the garden are dotted with mountain stones, and the strange stones in the garden are Luobu, and the good trees are verdant, forming the evergreen garden landscape of the four seasons, and there are vines and roses entwined to decorate the garden with great interest.
Apricot blossoms have a good spring, and they can't hide the apricot blossoms on the pink wall
There is a pond in the garden, most of the pool surface is covered by lotus leaves, the lotus leaves are sometimes nearly two meters above the water surface, there are thousands of elegant and fragrant lotus flowers, the fragrance is fragrant, and the boat can be driven under the lotus leaves!
"The lotus flowers here are blooming so well that they will remind people of Gusu! Yin'er, how is your father? Shen Guifei looked at the lotus pond and was fascinated, and she actually wanted to pick lotus seeds and eat them!
"Daddy is very good!" Su Liuyin gently took her hand and said softly, I want to open this Concubine Shen is also a poor person, trapped in the cage in this palace, with the longing for people and things outside the palace, birth, old age, sickness and death, as the so-called "The palace gate is closed and danced, and he knows a little about the king's sideburns." But I don't care about the flowers, and the ditch flows to the world."
"Yin'er, Cheng'er, I'm a little tired, let's go to the Fubi Pavilion in front to rest for a while!" Shen Guifei looked at the two pairs of pavilions in front of her and said.
The two pairs of pavilions in front are arranged symmetrically from east to west, and Fubi and Chengrui are square pavilions that span the pool, stretching out to hug the building on the south side. And Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu Pavilion are the upper circle and the lower part, all sides are stretched out to hug the building, the multi-angle pavilion that forms the cross-shaped plane, it is very distinctive, Su Liuyin can't help but think of the Ailian Pavilion in the Gusu Su Mansion - the hidden pavilion among the flowers, the water edge Anting!
"Look, the cherry blossoms are all blooming, and it's been a long time since I've been here!" Zhu Cheng smiled and pointed into the distance.
"Shouyan cherry blossoms, autumn bright maples, dark red in the tender green at the beginning of summer," Su Liuyin blurted out as she thought.
"Sister Yin'er, it's really a good poem, I didn't expect you to not only dance well, but also be able to say good poems in the scene!" Zhu Cheng looked at Su Liuyin with admiration, naturally he would not say that it was the poem of the thief Lao She!
"Concubine Shen, the queen mother, please be!" A maid came to report, wearing a black gauze hat embroidered with delicate flowers, and a peach-embroidered green jacket skirt, with a good appearance.
