Early in the morning of October 3rd. Lin Yao and Anne asked Li Qiang, Jingjing and Li Yuan to go to the Yanjing Forbidden City together.

Originally, my mother planned to take Anne and Lin Yao to the Yanjing Forbidden City together, but because the Yanjing Armed Police Hospital was closed for expert outpatient services during the eleventh holiday, my mother planned to take my grandmother to Yanjing to see a doctor after the eleventh day.

Grandma has been very sick recently, and she is not in a good mood, so my mother specially took half a month off and went to my aunt's house every day to accompany my grandmother.

For the sake of safety, the friends chose to sign up for a group tour, which is relatively safe.

Originally, I also made an appointment with Dongdong to go, but because Dongdong was beaten by his father before, and there were stitches on his face that were not removed, Dongdong wore a mask every day, for fear that others would see her injured face.

No one knows the secret of Dongdong's mask, only Anne knows it, and Anne hasn't told anyone about it, just saying that Dongdong has been in bad health with a bad cold recently, so don't bother Dongdong.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Anne and Lin Yao set off, Anne of the Forbidden City was still in elementary school once, thinking that Yanjing must be very cold sooner or later, so she specially put on a pair of her own autumn pants for Lin Yao. And one of them brought a thick coat.

Anne really didn't come out at this o'clock in the morning, at five o'clock, when people were still asleep, there was such a "group" who woke up early, and on the roadside stalls, the steaming breakfast was already baked, and the fragrance was in the air, spreading far away......

The early birds have worms, the early ones have food, and the sky is still dark at this time, and it is also the coldest time of the day.

Under the dim light, a tightly wrapped pedestrians gathered over, the uncle who went to work in the morning, the young man who worked in the evening, and the old man who exercised in the morning, sat on the stall one by one, took a bite of the bun and took a sip of hot soy milk, and ate deliciously.

Some of these people are sleepy, and some are already full of energy to face everything today.

The night before, my mother gave Anne a few hundred dollars, and told Anne to get up early tomorrow morning to buy breakfast for each of her friends.

When Anne and Lin Yao went out in the morning, their mother also told their friends to unite when they went out and pay attention to safety issues...... In short, nagging and nagging all kinds of worries.

Anne and Lin Yao came to the pancake fruit stall, there is an old aunt in her 60s who sells pancake fruit downstairs in our community, no matter the heat or winter, she appears at the door of the community on time every day, her silver-white hair is particularly conspicuous in the wind, and when she smiles, she reveals two front teeth that are a little yellow, and her voice is hearty and loud.

The old aunt has a skill, just like the geography teacher drawing the earth for us on the blackboard, she can pick a very round circle at once, turn it over, sprinkle the material, and bag it in one go, and it tastes good.

Anne has to buy one to eat almost every day in the morning, I have to say that the old aunt is really business-minded, and she makes all kinds of pancakes with different tricks, including grains, black rice, spinach, and dragon fruit, and makes colorful pancakes, with flavors ranging from sweet and salty to sour and spicy.

Anne and Lin Yao bought 5 pancakes and fruits in one go, and bought 5 packs of hot soy milk, the soy milk at that time was not as modern as it is now with a lid, and a simple plastic bag as thick as a chimney tube, when drinking, pinch the place on the top of the plastic bag with your hand and insert the straw inside.

Inserting soy milk into a straw is a technical job, and the soy milk that is not easy to get is sprinkled all over the body.

After buying breakfast, Anne and Lin Yao rode their bicycles to the meeting place in front of the department store in the city center.

The morning of this season is quite cold, the crickets in the grass on the side of the road are always chirping, the streets are wide and quiet, the street lights are still on, and the streets are a little more lonely.

Along the way, the traffic lights seemed to be decorations, there were almost no cars on the road, and Anne and Lin Yao rode through each intersection quietly.

When I passed by the central square, I saw a lot of elderly people exercising, perhaps this age group was the first to get up......

Anne had never been out so early, and the sights on the road had never been seen before, and there were many things in life that we could not see, and at another time, life was a different scene.

On the bench on the side of the road, there is a middle-aged man, facing the bench, waving his hands back and forth, behaving strangely and unpredictable, is he mentally problematic? Anne was a little scared, and called Lin Yao to speed up the pace of pedaling together.

When they were about to arrive at the meeting point, the sky was bright, and Anne and Lin Yao saw three friends waving to Lin Yao and Anne in front of the department store.

When she arrived at the meeting place, Anne shared a bag of breakfast in her bag with her friends, and Anne also specially reminded everyone to be careful when tying a soy milk straw.

Lin Yao hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe Jingjing's body, and Li Qiang and Li Yuan leaned back and forth while biting the straw and drinking soy milk.

At half past 6, the bus of the travel company arrived, 5 people got on the bus, Anne specially told everyone to sit in the front and back rows of the same area, and Anne and Lin Yaojingjing sat in the front row. Li Qiang and Li Yuan sat in a row of seats behind the three.

I probably got up too early in the morning, and as soon as I got on the bus and fastened my seat belt, the bus drove for less than 10 minutes, and several friends changed from excited chatter to silent snoring. Bus travel, probably like this, get on the bus to sleep, stop to pee, hehe!

It is said that the Forbidden City of Yanjing is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a history of more than 500 years.

The Forbidden City, also known as the "Forbidden City", once housed 24 emperors. When we walked into the Forbidden City from the noon gate, it was like walking into a fairyland on earth. The splendid palace is majestic and magnificent, and the red walls and yellow roofs are particularly beautiful. The yellow glazed tile roof is also carved with immortals and beasts representing the rank of the elite.

The friends followed the tour guide sister all the way, except for Chang Annie, everyone came to the Forbidden City for the first time, for fear of missing the wonderful historical story, so they followed the tour guide sister and did not leave a step.

Let's first come to the Jinshui Bridge in front of Taihe Gate, there are five Jinshui Bridges. The ancients admired the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, representing gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The bridge in the middle is only for the emperor to walk, and the rest is for the civil and military ministers and the princes of the clan above the third rank to walk. What should I do if I don't have enough level? I had to take a detour.

The tour guide sister said that you can choose which way to go. Anne thought to herself, of course, she chose the path taken by the emperor, what a spirit!

So he pulled Jingjing and Lin Yao side by side and walked happily, and took a lot of photos to commemorate it.

After coming down, Jingjing found the tour guide and asked her which way she went, and the tour guide said that she would definitely not take the path that the emperor walked, because you are still young, and when you understand the history and the fate of the emperor, you will no longer envy the emperor.

When Anne heard it, she thought about it, she had read history books, and knew from the books that the emperor was very majestic on the surface, but in fact, their fate was relatively miserable, and they were worried all day long to prevent others from usurping the throne, and cannibalism also happened from time to time.

There are two bronze lions on both sides of the Taihe Gate, and the tour guide sister asked us to observe carefully, and she had questions to ask after a while. As soon as the young lady finished speaking, Li Yuan simply took out her camera to take pictures, and Anne also hurried over to take a look. The young lady said: "What you take doesn't count, what you observe carefully."

After the Taihe Gate, it is the Taihe Hall of the first of the "three major halls" of the Forbidden City, which is what the common people call the Jinluan Palace.

When I was a child, there was a theme song of a TV series, I don't know if my friends still have an impression: "Jinwa Jinluan Palace, the emperor can't see it." Once out of the martial arts gate, one name and two hands ......"

Lin Yao excitedly sang "The People's Things Lead Away", and Anne happily pulled Lin Yao to trot all the way around, Yanjing was really hot during the day, Anne regretted a little, she was too thick before she came out, and now the hot Anne and Lin Yao both sweat beads have fallen.

The entire hall of the Jinluan Hall is built on a tall white marble pedestal, which is the place where major ceremonies were held that year. The roof of the main hall is double-layered, and the yellow roof of the hall is equipped with 10 spine beasts, and the front of the spine beasts is the riding phoenix immortal.

The tour guide said that the number of spine beasts represents the level of the level, and the Taihe Hall is the highest level in the entire palace. The main hall is supported by red pillars, and the beams are painted with colorful paintings of dragons. The combination of red and yellow makes the whole hall magnificent.

A pair of copper turtles and copper cranes are placed on the left and right on the platform outside the hall, symbolizing the turtle and crane for a thousand years and the national fortune of Yongchang. There is also a stone pavilion called Jialiang, which is a standard measuring instrument in ancient times. The position symmetrical with Jialiang is called a sundial, which is an ancient watch. They all symbolize the supremacy of imperial power.

Lin Yao ran fast, rushing to the Zhonghe Palace, which was the place where the emperor rested before going to the Taihe Hall and accepted the worship of the deacons and officials. As a result, he ran too fast, and Lin Yao fell on the floor at the entrance of the main hall. Li Qiang and Jingjing were so good or bad that they hurriedly ran over to help Lin Yao, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, flat body~" As a result, Lin Yao was helped up and found a problem, Lin Yao's tooth was knocked out, Anne looked at a small bloody tooth in Lin Yao's hand, and her heart sank with fright, Lin Yao was very optimistic, and said with a smile that it was okay now, there was no need to go to the dentist to extract the tooth, it turned out that this was Lin Yao's last replaced baby tooth, it stands to reason that the average person's 12-year-old baby tooth has fallen out, maybe Lin Yao is too thin and late, Everyone knows that it is baby teeth, and they are finally relieved. Anne worriedly reminded Lin Yao to go slowly and be careful in everything.

Behind the Zhonghe Hall is the Baohe Palace, which is the place where the emperor feasts civil and military officials. Since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the champion known to the common people has been tested from this hall. Above the throne in the hall hangs the Qianlong Emperor's imperial pen "Emperor has built a pole" plaque.

Walked forward to the Qianqing Gate, there was a pair of lions in front of the door, and the question of the tour guide lady came: "Just now I let you carefully observe the lion in front of the Taihe Gate, who can tell what is the difference with this pair of lions?"

"What's the difference? Of course, the color is different. Li Yuan was the first to say.

The young lady said, "No, you can take a closer look."

"The ears are different." Li Qiang stood aside and said.

Yes, Anne also saw that the pair of lion ears were drooping and very docile, while the pair of lion ears just now were erect and very majestic.

The tour guide announced the answer with a smile: "You are right, the place where you go to this gate is the harem, ordinary men can't get in, and ordinary women can't get out." The harem is a place of right and wrong, it is to warn you to be careful, do not look at indecent manners, and do not listen to indecent manners. The imperial court, in front is the court, and in the back is the court; The country, which is the country in front and the home in the back, is divided from this place. ”

"Harem? It's the Qing Dynasty harem in the Qing costume drama, hahaha~ Qiangzi, Li Yuan, you two are not suitable to enter, the emperor will order the two of you to be killed, hahahaha" Jingjing said with a smile.

Walking here, Li Yuan mysteriously told everyone a story: "In the nineties, there was a person who guarded the Forbidden City, and according to that person, he could hear someone playing music every night, and sometimes he could see the palace maids and eunuchs lining up to walk by. That person's children are not in good health, and the old people all say that it is because that person has suffered a lot of yin qi and has affected the next generation! Not only that, have you noticed that many courtyards in the Forbidden City are sealed! It is not open to tourists, in fact, every prefecture has had a phenomenon that cannot be explained by science, and many people died in these places when it was not sealed before liberation! Either disappear for no reason or die, but it is always so bizarre that the cause cannot be found, but there is one thing in common: if the body can still be seen after death, then the corpse has no face. More cautious is a well, on weekdays during the day, the bottom of the well is some stones, weeds or something, but every night after 12 o'clock to look down, as long as there is a moon in the sky, you will see that the bottom of the well is not stones, weeds, but water, but the reflection of the water is not your face......"

"Ah~It's so scary~" Jingjing screamed in fright!

Jingjing's shout didn't matter, which startled Anne, and turned to look at the Forbidden City in front of her. Look where you feel eerie~

Then all the way through the Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, and finally we came to the Imperial Garden.

Anne wondered why the Imperial Garden in front of her was so small. The tour guide said that the TV shows are all lies, but in fact, the imperial garden is so small.

My sister asked us what Qing Dynasty dramas we like to watch the most? We girls all say it's "Huanzhu Gege", and the boys say it's "Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth".

The Autumn Imperial Garden is picturesque, with ancient trees, rockeries, pools, and exotic flowers and stones. One of them is a tree that is very conspicuous, but it is man-made, not naturally grown, and the tour guide said that only the last emperor Pu Yi and the empress have taken photos in front of this tree, and their end is not good. Therefore, it is not recommended that everyone take pictures in front of the trees.

Li Qiang stubbornly didn't listen to the advice of the tour guide's sister, and insisted on taking pictures under the Lianli tree, Li Yuan helped Li Qiang take pictures, while still joking: "Beware, Qiangzi, Pu Yi is looking for you at night, Qiangzi ~ Qiangzi ~" While talking and making a grimace to scare Li Qiang, who knew that Li Qiang was not afraid at all, but said with a smile: "Come on, come on, come to me~Hahahahaha~"

After taking photos, everyone walked out of Shenwu Gate collectively and ended the tour of the Forbidden City.

Through the explanation of the tour guide, the friends have a general understanding of the historical changes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the majestic palaces all reflect the hierarchy of feudal etiquette.

Before leaving, Anne looked around the Forbidden City, all telling the glory of the royal palace of the feudal dynasty, Li Yuan, who was standing next to Anne, said at this time: "China's royal palace is the most magnificent, unparalleled in the world!" After saying that, Anne and Li Yuan looked at each other and smiled, Li Yuan took the initiative to take Anne's hand, Anne's hand was wide and slender, and Li Yuan's hand was thick and stubby, Anne's heart was both nervous and excited, Li Yuan held Anne's hand very firmly and tightly, Anne's heart was warm, in the late autumn of October.
