Chapter 319: Thousand Lakes Palace

As you walk in, you will be greeted by luxurious gardens and all kinds of styles, even European-style buildings. Jiang Yao felt that the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City was already big enough, and now that he saw the Old Summer Palace, he felt even more small.

No wonder Cixi spared no expense to build the Old Summer Palace, and it was really enjoyable to be in it.

"Your Majesty, you see there is a fountain."

She jumped happily and walked to the stone bridge, overlooking the small fountain under the bridge, she did it very delicately, the pool faucets on both sides spit water, and the surprised Jiang Yao continued to miss everywhere, marveling at the miracle.

Jiang Yao seemed to be visiting the Old Summer Palace before it was occupied by the Eight-Nation Alliance, she stroked the strangely shaped huge stone rock, and looked at Duan Jingyan with an indifferent face, as calm as if she was going home.

"Your Majesty, this stone rock is so big, why did it come over?"

"At that time, hundreds of people were transported from Jiangnan for half a year."

It's no wonder that he grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he must be familiar with the Old Summer Palace, but for Jiang Yao, this kind of garden is already a luxurious garden created by the efforts of several generations of royal families.

If the dynasties of time were interconnected, it is difficult to imagine what the future generations would be like.

"This Old Summer Palace is really pleasant, no wonder the emperor lived here for a long time before he ascended the throne."

Concubine Song, who was following behind, was also here for the first time, and she was also deeply shocked by this luxurious garden, and the words she said made Duan Jingyan look back, and Concubine Song closed her mouth knowingly.

Qingyang, the leader eunuch who followed Duan Jingyan on the side, said the arrangement with flattery on his face.

"According to the rules of the palace, the lady concubine lives in the Thousand Lakes Palace, located in the lake, surrounded by water. Song Concubine Niangniang lives in the Xianyun Palace, surrounded by flowers and trees, it is very beautiful after the beginning of spring, Jiang Chongyuan lives in the quiet Fanglan Palace. ”

Qingyang followed the emperor, looked at Duan Jingyan's face and asked, "Your Majesty, can this arrangement be appropriate?" ”

Duan Jingyan responded softly, his eyes still did not leave Jiang Yao, watching Jiang Yao fly in the garden like a butterfly, looking at everything with a curious look.

And Kant, who followed behind, frowned all the way, silently reciting in his heart: Amitabha......

"It's going to be March soon, and when the flowers are blooming, A-Yao will be able to enjoy the scenery."

Jiang Yao turned around and smiled while running and jumping, and the laughter like silver bells rippled in the garden, and replied: "At that time, Ah Yao's birthday is also approaching, and it will be time to hold a birthday banquet."

"Okay."

Duan Jingyan walked through the garden with his hands behind his back and followed Jiang Yao with a doting look on his face.

Seeing that it had really become superfluous, Concubine Song stopped and did not continue to follow, and said to Duan Jingyanfu, who had been walking forward: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little tired all the way, and I want to go back to Xianyun Hall to rest." ”

And Duan Jingyan, who was looking at Jiang Yao intently, ignored Concubine Song at all and gradually walked away. Concubine Song's face was lonely for a while, and then the corners of her mouth were curled, and she turned around and walked towards Xianyun Palace, and Jiang Chongyuan also walked towards Fanglan Hall to settle down.

"Shufei Niangniang walks here, not far away is Xiaoxi Lake, this West Lake should have been in the south of the Yangtze River, because I want to restore the Jiangnan garden, so I built this lake, called Xiaoxi Lake."

Qingyang was like a tour guide, running to show Jiang Yao the way, she followed and came to Xiaoxi Lake.

It was noon, the sun was very good, and the spring breeze on the lake was blowing, Jiang Yao felt a little warm, took off the cloak, and handed it to the cloud sleeve behind him.

Walking from far and near, looking at the Thousand Lakes Hall in the distance, the scale is very huge, and there is only a long wooden trestle bridge, which leads directly.

"Niangniang, this wooden trestle bridge is called Lotus Bridge, please Niangniang walk on the Lotus Bridge, this is the wonderful meaning of giving birth to lotus step by step."

Qingyang stood beside the Lotus Bridge and stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Yao to go up, Duan Jingyan looked at the noisy Qingyang and waved his hand. Kant coughed lightly, and a look motioned for him to leave.

Duan Jingyan took Jiang Yao's hand and walked up, as if walking on the water, with the vibration of the lotus bridge, it stirred up ripples, the water halo gradually expanded, and the bottom of the lake was clear and you could still watch the big koi swimming around.

"With such a big lake and such a clear lake, it must be very expensive to maintain."

"Then A-Yao, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, I love the room with a lake view."

Duan Jingyan walked behind Jiang Yao and asked with a smile, he liked Jiang Yao very much that he had never seen the world, and he was full of curiosity about the garden. He clenched Jiang Yao's hand tightly and refused to let go, for fear that he would fly away.

When he was in the palace, he didn't have this distraction, but since he left the palace, this possessiveness has occupied his heart.

The open Thousand Lakes Palace, you can stand at the water's edge and enjoy the lake view when you come out, surrounded by the side hall and the main hall, a total of five, the center is a courtyard, which is built on the water, which is really luxurious.

"I guess a lot of silver was wasted when it was built."

Jiang Yao stood at the door of the hall in amazement, Duan Jingyan was very curious about the things in Jiang Yao's little brain, and his eyes were full of money, not only laughing helplessly.

Walking into the courtyard, there were several palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in the courtyard, and when they saw Duan Jingyan and Jiang Yao walking in, they all buckled their heads.

"See the emperor, concubine Niangniang."

He didn't pay any attention to it, and took Jiang Yao and walked to the main hall inside, although the palace was not as luxurious as the palace, but it had a unique atmosphere, especially the large wooden bed in the dormitory.

The four corners were set up with red cloud veil curtains, fluttering in the wind, and there were bursts of bells, Jiang Yao shook the veils curiously, and the bells gradually became pleasant. How wrong to think, turning over on the wooden bed in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be noisy for him to sleep.

But then I thought about it, maybe this was the bad taste of the royal family, and when I was loving in the palace by the lake, I listened to the sound of gurgling water, and I could hear the bells when I shook the bed.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yao couldn't help but smack her tongue, rolled her eyes, and muttered secretly, "Tut-tut...... It's a bad taste. ”

"Do you like it?"

Duan Jingyan sat on the chair next to him, watched Jiang Yao turn around, and finally sat on the bed, the bed was a very old-fashioned hard cushion, and her bed was cushioned with several layers of brocade cushions, which were very soft.

"It's just that this bed is too hard."

When Jiang Yao came, she slept all night, but it was really too hard, and she didn't sleep well, and her bed had to be soft from then on.

Duan Jingyan drank the cup in his hand indifferently, sipped tea and said to Yun Sleeve, "This is all a trivial matter, let's make the bed for your mother." ”

Yun Sleeve snickered and opened the cabinet on the side, but he didn't expect it to be a cabinet of silk clothes, Jiang Yao walked over curiously, and there was a strong smell of fat powder on the clothes, although it was still brand new, but Jiang Yao gradually felt uncomfortable in her heart.

From the cabinet on the side, it was the brocade quilt, and Yun Sleeve took out several brocade quilts and spread them out.

The woman's intuition told her that this Thousand Lakes Hall was not pure, as if someone had been living here.

And there was no Qingyang by his side, Jiang Yao wanted to ask but felt that it was not appropriate to ask Duan Jingyan, who came with him, and nothing happened in the lunch.

"Concubine, I like it very much, the emperor bothered."

Jiang Yao smiled and walked next to Duan Jingyan, looking at the lake view at a glance, a little relaxed, it was rare to be in such a good mood.

Duan Jingyan doted on Jiang Yao, who was so relaxed, and said, "It's good if you like it." ”

Looking out from the hall, you can see that there is a water platform on the side of the lake, in the shape of a lotus flower, if you play music and dance on it, it is really full of fun.

Just stayed like this, the people cleaned up the inside and outside of the Thousand Lakes Palace, Yun Sleeve was very busy, and Yun Bi came here and refused to leave Ah Yao for a moment, next to the lake for fear of accidentally planting in.

The most idle is Jiang Yao in the hall, Duan Jingyan just changed places to approve the folds, but Jiang Yao is really idle, especially after taking a nap, he is even more bored and panicked.

"The concubine went and looked at the courtyard next to it."

Duan Jingyan responded, Jiang Yao happily pulled the cloud sleeve and ran out, the two of them were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, all the way to the Xianyun Hall in surprise.

Jiang Yao, who was carrying the hem of her skirt, walked in, Concubine Song was sitting in the courtyard, and a woman was kneeling on the ground.
