Ye Qian and I came to the Summer Palace together.

The Summer Palace, located in Haidian District, the western suburb of Beijing, is the largest and most well-preserved royal garden in China.

"The predecessor of the Summer Palace was the Qingyi Garden in Beijing's Three Mountains and Five Gardens," I didn't have anything to say, trying to make Ye Qian happy, "Later, when the rogue coalition burned the Old Summer Palace, it was also seriously damaged. In 1888, Cixi embezzled naval funds to restore the garden and changed it to the Summer Palace. In 1900, the Summer Palace was sacked by the hooligan coalition, and after Cixi returned to Beijing from Xi'an, she once again spent a huge amount of money to restore the garden. ”

"If it is not repaired," Ye Qian said expressionlessly, "Can you still see such a grand royal garden today?" ”

"The scale of the Summer Palace is quite large," I said with a smile, "and it is mainly composed of two parts, Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake, of which the water surface accounts for three-quarters. Cixi's purpose in restoring the garden was to escape the summer heat and recuperate, because she took a fancy to this treasure land with the name of 'longevity'. ”

"Huilongguan will also become your treasure land," Ye Qian still said expressionlessly, "You can develop there!" ”

"We're not going to talk about Huilongguan today," I smiled, "let's talk about the Summer Palace!" I heard that the architectural style of the Summer Palace has absorbed the essence of architecture from all over China: the palace area and the inner court area in the east are typical of the northern courtyard style, and the closed courtyards are connected by verandahs one by one; The lake area in the south is a typical Hangzhou West Lake style, with a 'Su Causeway' dividing the lake into two, full of Jiangnan style; the north side of Wanshou Mountain is a typical Tibetan lama temple style, with white pagodas and bunker-like buildings; Suzhou Street in the north, with many shops and waterways, is a typical water town style......

"Do you think my high heels are pretty?" Ye Qian smiled slightly and changed the topic.

"I'm really a little confused," I asked, wondering, "wouldn't I be tired walking in such high heels?" ”

"This is a single boss who gave it to me," Ye Qian said with a smile, "Because of work, I met a single boss." Although he has no grass on his head, his career is vibrant; Although his appearance is a little vicissitudes, the house is luxuriously decorated; Although he is a little short, his car is a long Mercedes-Benz; He had almost everything, but none of the women wanted to marry him. When the boss bought me these designer high heels, I finally made up my mind to try it out with him......"

"You can try!" I smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with sowing and cultivating!" ”

"The weather is so nice today, we are all in a peaceful mood to have a good walk!" Ye Qian stood in front of the gate of the East Palace, looked up at the plaque with three dark green characters written "Summer Palace" on the gatehouse, and said to me softly.

"Aren't you in a peaceful mood any day?" I also looked at the plaque and said to Ye Qian calmly, "Look at that word, it was still written by Emperor Guangxu himself, how elegant and free!" The word 'Yihe' means to nourish the spirit and be peaceful. ”

"I'm actually quite bad-tempered," Ye Qian said as she walked, "I love to lose my temper with you at every turn!" ”

"No matter how bad the temper is, is there a bad Cixi?" I looked at the Renshou Hall where Cixi and Emperor Guangxu listened to the government in front of me and smiled, "That guy dares to push people into the well when he loses his temper!" ”

"I'm actually a little wild-minded," Ye Qian said as she walked through the Renshou Palace, "I can't stand the kind of man who lives in a private house and smokes, drinks and likes to stay up late!" ”

"Is there a Cixi wild ambition?" I looked at the rockery that suddenly appeared in front of me and smiled, "That guy is not satisfied after winning the world!" ”

Ye Qian was silent.

The two of us silently walked around the rockery.

In front of me, a lake suddenly appeared, which is Kunming Lake. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dug a Kunming Pond imitating Dianchi in the capital city of Chang'an in order to conquer the small Kunming Kingdom of Dianchi in Yunnan Province to train the naval army. Later, according to this allusion, people changed the name of Beijing's West Sea to the current Kunming Lake.

To the right of the lake is a promenade that stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Actually, I'm not good-looking at all," Ye Qian thought about it and said, "Look at this tiger tooth ...... my mouth."

"No matter how bad it looks, it's better than Cixi!" I said nonchalantly.

"Why do you keep comparing me to Cixi?" Ye Qian asked angrily after stopping.

"You're a woman, she's a woman, of course you have analogies!" I said and looked at the paintings in the gallery with great interest.

"I ask you not to compare me with Cixi in the future!" Ye Qian shouted loudly.

"That's much better looking than Sister Furong," I said to Ye Qian while admiring the paintings on the corridor, "That guy has a big face, a collapsed nose, thick lips, and a butt full of meat!" ”

"I want to kick you to death!" Ye Qian said half-truthfully.

"Kick if you want!" I smiled, "As long as you're happy, I'm happy!" ”

"Actually, I'm a person who loves vanity and is greedy for wealth," Ye Qian began to beat me again, "Although I can't live in such a big and beautiful place like Cixi, I need at least a beautiful house, not a rented house to live in with others!" ”

"Didn't I paint you two houses?" I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "One is a hugging house in the capital, and the other is a wooden house in the deep mountains, you can live in whichever one you want!" ”

"Please, Boss!" Ye Qian was so angry that she almost jumped up, "It's drawn on paper, I want something to live in!" ”

"Oh! Do you want to be able to live in it? I thought and said, "I'll draw you in when I have time!" ”

I saw Ye Qian bend down, frowning and touching her delicate and small ankle with her hand.

I knew she must have felt a dull pain in her feet.

I smiled silently.

"Whatever you think in your heart, just say it!" Ye Qian suddenly shouted impatiently.

"It's been so long, it's time to rest!" I looked at Ye Qian's feet and said to the unknown "hating the sky" and said, "This is the Harmonious Garden in the Summer Palace, because the location is relatively remote, it is often forgotten by tourists." There must be very few people in there, so let's go in and sit down! ”

Ye Qian didn't say anything.

We silently walked into the Harmony Garden.

I suddenly found that this inconspicuous little garden is indeed very beautiful: the center of the garden is a lotus pond, and there are thirteen pavilions around the pond, such as Hanyuan Hall, Zhuxin Building, Zhichun Hall, Chengshuangzhai, etc., and communicate with hundreds of winding verandahs. On the edge of the outdoor corridor, the flowers and trees are sparse, the bamboo shadow is uneven, and the mountain spring is turbulent, which is very rich in the interest of the Jiangnan garden.

"This Harmonious Garden is the garden within the garden in the Summer Palace," I said to Ye Qian as I looked at the lotus flowers blooming in the pond, "It was built by Qianlong in imitation of the Jichang Garden at the foot of Huishan Mountain in Wuxi, Jiangsu. ”

"My feet hurt to death when I walked!" Ye Qian sat on a stone chair and complained.

"New shoes are like this, not to mention such high heels!" I said and bent down, took off the shoes on Ye Qian's feet, and then put her feet on my lap, gently kneading her ankles, and complained distressedly, "There are injuries on your feet, and you are still wearing such scary high heels?" ”

"What's the injury?" Ye Qian asked curiously.

"Do you remember that time by the Yishui River in Yangxian County, Hanzhong?" I said thoughtfully, "You fell off the rock......"

"Oh!" Ye Qian suddenly realized, "That time! Of course I remember! ”

The past is like a dream.

I saw Ye Qian fall into deep thought, and her eyes seemed to light up.

"Actually, the houses you painted for me before are very good," Ye Qian sighed lightly, and said to me with moist eyes, "The bed is wide and comfortable, the colors are bright and bright, the floor-to-ceiling windows are huge and transparent, and even the lights inside are warm yellow." Although it was on paper, my heart had already lived in it. ”

"I've painted two pictures of you," I reminded, "and there are no beds or floor-to-ceiling windows......

"Don't talk nonsense," Ye Qianjiao said with a sneering face, "I thought of it myself!" The bed is in the house, and you can't see it outside! ”

"You're right," I said softly, "that we came to Beijing for our room, for our bed." We have walked such a long way together today, seen the beautiful scenery along the way, and said the best words along the way......"

"So what else haven't we visited?" Ye Qian raised her head and muttered.

"Behind is Suzhou Street," I said happily, "It is said that it was on this street that the Empress Dowager Cixi used to let the eunuchs and palace maids play the role of small merchants and vendors in the market, shouting and selling, while she herself dressed as an ordinary housewife, and bargained with them vulgarly and seriously, enjoying the pleasures of folk life." Today, it is a place where shops are exhibited and some of the most monumental tourist products are sought. ”

"Then I have to go quickly," Ye Qian said hurriedly put on her shoes, stood up and took my hand and left, "I have to buy a pair of cloth shoes to change into first, it's too uncomfortable to wear these high heels!" ”

The sun is still shining.

The water is still clear and pure.

My heart is brighter than the sun, clearer and purer than the lake.
