Chapter 514: Garden

Liu Yan accepted the two Daijun specialties sent by the four princesses, and also asked her to send her two dishes back. These two dishes are Liu Yan's hometown taste - the imperial chefs in the palace now, if anyone can't cook two of the emperor's hometown dishes, then this imperial chef is really dry. Now that the princess has given an order, the people in the dining room dare not be lazy, and hurriedly make two special dishes for the four princesses, and they will be prepared in less than a moment for people to send them.

What are the four princes doing today?

He took his new wife on a tour of the palace.

The wedding was held in the palace, but he was about to move out of the palace. Thinking that although his wife married into the royal family, she didn't know what the palace was like except for Chongde Palace, which was really unreasonable.

So although there are many things to do, the fourth prince also took half a day to take his newlywed wife to walk around the palace.

In fact, although the palace is large, most of it is in ruins. Except for the three main halls of the former dynasty, most of the palaces in the harem are vacant and locked. The eastern half of the harem is okay, Yilan Palace, Imperial Garden, Spring and Palace and other places are repaired and maintained well, after the Spring and Gate is the East Garden, the princesses are living and have lived in the place are also very neatly repaired, although the garden lake of the East Garden is not as big as the Imperial Garden, but the delicacy is better. It is precisely because of this that the emperor and Empress Cao arranged the East Garden for the princesses to live, which is separated from the harem by a spring and gate, and it is also quieter, and there is a lot less chaos in personnel.

The four princes took Yuan Ruoqiu and traveled west after coming out of the Chongde Palace, bypassing the Yilan Hall and going to the Imperial Garden. The scenery in the imperial garden is beautiful, although it has only rained, but the lake is clear, the pines and cypresses are verdant, the osmanthus has bloomed, and the unique sweet fragrance is blown by the autumn wind and floats over, which makes people feel particularly refreshing and comfortable.

"In front of the Qianbo Pond, I used to take a boat trip to the lake with my third brother and sisters, there are a lot of fish in the Qianbo Pond, and now it is autumn, if the summer comes here, the lotus flowers and lotus leaves spread all over the lake, it is beautiful."

Yuan Ruoqiu looked left and right, and said with a smile: "This place is more beautiful than Changming Lake, and it is quiet." ”

The fourth prince smiled.

That's natural, Qianbo Pond is a royal palace, and there are special people to take care of it every day, and except for a few people in the palace, where can others come here to enjoy? Changming Lake is lively enough, the cruise boat boat runs around the lake day and night, tourists come and go, there are not only residents and shops by the lake, but also many rich and powerful people build gardens, gardens, mansions, well, there are a lot of Golan Tile House.

"It's good to be lively, and it's good to be quiet."

Passing by the edge of the Thousand Wave Pond, the four princes took Yuan Ruoqiu around the Peony Garden, the Imperial Banquet Table, the Maple Forest Pavilion, and the Red Stone Forest, and rested in the Yanbo Pavilion.

"Many of these pavilions and pavilions are the old names that have been inherited, the father has not changed the name, there are many places where the plaque has not been changed, the Yanbo Pavilion is, the plaque on it is the handwriting of the emperor of the previous dynasty, the father once came here, said with a smile, although he is not good to be the emperor, but he writes a good word, and this plaque has been hanging here."

Yuan Ruoqiu also raised his head to look at this plaque.

Not to mention the identity of the person who writes, the word is indeed a good word, the brushstrokes are beautiful and soft, and the three words of Yanbo Pavilion are written very meaningfully.

Yuan Ruoqiu said: "My father is open-minded and very accessible. ”

The fourth prince smiled: "This is natural. ”

After drinking a cup of tea, they planned to turn around and go back to Chongde Palace, but Mao De had already sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the fourth princess had sent two dishes back to the four princesses. In addition, the four princes' mansions outside came to report that the objects and slaves sent out of the palace in advance had been properly placed, but the head of the study did not dare to make his own decisions.

The fourth prince and Yuan Ruoqiu were already going back, and it was time for dinner. There are big rules in the palace, and there are rules for everything, when to get up, when to sleep, when to eat, when to read, and it is not very proper to miss the hour.

Maude walked behind the sedan chair, his face expressionless, but his heart kept guessing and weighing.

When the princess entered the door, there would be more things to do in the future, and Mao De had already inquired about the few people around the princess. Among the people who served closely, only one was from the original Yuan family, and the others were all palace people who were transferred by the inner palace supervisor at that time, which had advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that these people are already in the palace, the rules are familiar, the faces are familiar, although the princess has just married in, but with these people by her side, you can save a lot of trouble. But in the same way, these people are not as loyal to her as the slaves and maids of the Yuan family, and there is no problem with ordinary things, if the Yuan family wants to do something risky, it is difficult to say whether these people will obey their orders.

After moving outside the palace, the affairs of the house will be divided into two parts, and Mao De knows that it is impossible to manage the affairs outside, but the affairs in the backyard of the palace, Mao De must be grasped in his own hands, and of course Mao De must be respectful to the princess, but respect does not mean that he must obey Yuan's words.

Anyway, his master is only one of the four princes, the princess, Mao De doesn't buy her account.

Yuan may soon find out that all she can manage is the people and things in her own house, and the personnel and financial power of the inner courtyard, Mao De will not let go easily.

There is another thing, Mao De didn't say it in front of the four princesses, and when he returned to the Chongde Palace, Mao De reported to the four princes alone.

"Just now, Counselor Lu sent someone to send a message, saying that there was something I wanted to discuss with His Highness, and the slave maid thought that Judge Lu might have something important, so she made her own decision and promised him to enter the palace early tomorrow morning."

The Fourth Prince nodded.

Maude: This is not an arbitrary decision.

The four princes have just gotten married, if there is nothing important, Lu Yi will not choose to disturb him at this time.

Something's going to happen, and it's something important.

The fourth prince guessed in his heart, what could it be?

Lu Yi is a well-informed person, and he can get the news before others get the news about many things, or catch some clues before others notice anything wrong.

The four princes didn't find out, and I don't know when he trusted Lu Yi more and more, and he relied on him more and more.

With a heart in his arms, the dinner of the four princes was a little tasteless, and the four princesses tasted the two dishes sent by Liu Yan - of course, these two dishes are not spicy or sour, the imperial kitchen is made according to Liu Yan's taste, the dishes are delicious, and there are no too many condiments, Liu Yan always feels that he has added too much seasoning, and his mouth is full of seasonings when he takes a bite, so is it a vegetable or a seasoning.
