On May 21, the scorching heat in Jiangdu reached its peak.

This day is also the day to set off for the summer summer vacation in the Summer Spring Garden.

Early in the morning, the palace car came out of the imperial city, the palace people were mighty and hugged each other, and the people watched and watched each other on the road.

The concubines above the concubine position in the palace all went together, and in the position of nobles, in order to show their 'favor' for Xue Yinhuan, and considering that Shen Ciwei and Fu Qingqing could chat, Li Mobai also gave them to go together.

Needless to say, the Queen Mother and King Jing have been in the fief recently, and they have been stealing half a day of leisure, so they also joined the accompanying team.

The emperor's royal drive was at the front, and there were often laughter and laughter inside, and some people among the onlookers were happy: "Although the Zhu family has fallen, the feelings of the emperor and queen are still harmonious." ”

"Harmony what?" Someone next to him interrupted him and joked in a low voice: "I just saw the queen and the queen mother sitting in the same palace car in the back, so guess who is laughing with the emperor?" ”

"Hey, I heard that there is a concubine Rong in the palace, I don't know what it is, it seems to be very favored by the emperor. Now that she's pregnant, I think it should be her, right? ”

Although this kind of discussion is small, when the people are talking about this matter in piles, the people sitting in the palace car can more or less hear the sound.

Li Mobai and Shen Ci were worried about chatting and having fun, so they naturally didn't bother to pay attention to these.

And in the Queen Mother's phoenix drive, which was silent all the way, every comment pierced into the queen's heart like a needle.

Although she was bitter in her heart, she just treated each other silently and did not complain to the Queen Mother.

When she got out of the city gate, the Queen Mother put her hand on her knee and patted her, "Aren't you happy?" ”

The queen smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The concubines have long been used to it, as the queen mother said, this path was chosen by the concubines themselves, and whatever they go is their own cause and effect, no wonder others." ”

"You're still the queen, that's enough. As long as you are in the middle palace, the emperor will have to give you face. The women of the Zhu family have always been stronger than men, and the mourning family can stand the loneliness and sit on the throne of the queen mother all the way, I believe you can too. ”

"Is it okay for a concubine?" The queen asked rhetorically, her eyes fluttering, and her expression was a little abrupt, "Maybe." ”

"What's wrong with you these two days? When they were in the palace, the mourning family saw that something was wrong. I look listless every day, and my complexion is not very good. But sick? ”

Ice was served in the car, which was said to be very cool, but the queen was still sweating.

She coughed lightly twice, "The Imperial Doctor has seen it, and said that some heat stroke is not in the way." When it comes to the Yichun Garden to recuperate for some time, it may be good. ”

The Yichun Garden is located in the north of Jiangdu for 100 miles, and is a royal courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers.

In the past, it was called the Imperial Palace, and it is said that Emperor Taizu felt that the feng shui of this place was nourishing, and he lived here for seven or eight months of the year.

After a day's journey, it was already dark when I arrived at the Summer Garden.

Shen Ciwu looked out of the car window, and could vaguely see that the surrounding mountains were covered with a dull green.

She took a deep breath, and the refreshing scent of plants and trees was refreshing.

This place is worthy of being a summer resort, and when she got off the palace car, she felt a little cool, so she folded her clothes and said to Li Mobai: "A few days ago, I heard Sanfu say that many people in Jiangdu are shirtless at night, and some men go out during the day. In the past, these were to be criminalized, but this year the emperor relaxed the restrictions, also because the weather was too hot, so everyone wanted to cool down. It's just that I didn't expect that compared with Jiangdu, Yichun Garden is only a hundred miles apart, but it seems to be a paradise on earth. ”

Li Mobai put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Do you like it?" If you like this place, I can follow the example of Emperor Taizu and live here for the rest of the year, except for the bitter winter. ”

"That's not interesting." Shen Ci shook his head worriedly, "I think it's good because I've been in a not-so-good environment for a long time." If you are in this feng shui treasure every day, you don't feel so comfortable after a long time. In the future, I will go back to a place that is not as good as it, but I will not be able to adapt to it. ”

Shen Ciwei lived in Bitong Pavilion, which was only 200 meters away from the Longyang Hall where Li Mobai lived.

Listening to the palace people who have been serving here all the year round, this Bitong Pavilion was originally a place for the queen to live, and the queen who should have this honor is now living in a remote Yanyu Building.

Shen Ciwei took the accompanying palace people to stay in Bitong Pavilion, the courtyard of this place is spacious, the repair is elegant, the camphor tree planted in the middle of the courtyard is towering, and the trunk is so thick that the three of them can hug it.

Everyone felt novel, Pei'er pulled Qi'er and Xing Yun around the trunk twice, and said happily: "Camphor can repel mosquitoes, Niangniang hates mosquitoes the most, such a big pestle in the courtyard, Niangniang's troubles are less than half~"

Waiting in Bitong Pavilion was a slightly older palace maid, and she stepped forward to introduce herself to Shen Ciwu: "Concubine Rong Niangniang Jin An, the slave maid is the servant of Bitong Pavilion, and her name is Yun Niang. ”

She was very thoughtful, and bowed very deeply to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci and Yan Yuese helped her up, "Aunt Yun doesn't have to be polite. On the way here, I heard the emperor say that you were his nurse when he was a child. ”

Yun Niang smiled lightly and bowed her head, "The slave made a mistake when she was young, and she should have been executed according to the palace rules." It was the emperor who was particularly generous to the slaves and maids, and let the slaves and maids come to the Yichun Garden to escape the catastrophe. In addition to the emperor's Longyang Palace, the Yichun Garden has the best environment in this Bitong Pavilion. It shows that Niangniang is the person at the top of the emperor's heart. ”

She glanced at Shen Ci's flat lower abdomen and continued: "It's been almost two months since Niangniang is pregnant, right? The emperor told the slave maid to take good care of the maid. ”

"Aunt Tired." Shen Ci raised his head and looked at the straight and tall camphor, and said curiously: "This place is called Bitong Pavilion, why is the tree planted not a sycamore, but a camphor?" ”

"Everything was done by the emperor in advance, and three months before the royal driver entered the park, he dug up the green tree and transplanted this camphor. The slaves and maids don't know where the emperor got this thing, it's terrifyingly big, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources just to plant it. The emperor said that mosquitoes are annoying in summer, and he is afraid of disturbing his mother's rest, so everything is arranged properly. ”

Shen Ciwu stroked the trunk of the tree and laughed silently.

When everything was settled, Shen Ciwu, who was lying on the bed after washing, couldn't sleep.

When I arrive in a new place, I always feel that everything is new.

She poured a glass of water into the warm seat, and glanced out the window inadvertently.

I saw the stars in the sky shimmering together, so clear that even the Milky Way could be seen clearly.

She had never seen such a stunning night sky, and she was in a good mood.

Pei'er couldn't sleep either, so she excitedly walked around the courtyard to have a look.

Shen Ci called them through the window, "Go and ask Aunt Yun, where is the terrain slightly higher around here?" I want to go and see the stars. Such a night view is rare in Jiangdu, and it is always a pity to miss it. ”
