With such a conjecture, Jiang Shu paused, turned to look in the direction where Concubine Zhou Duan's master and servant were, but saw that their group had already left, and their bright figures were hidden by the lush flowers and trees around them. Where it caught his eye, the most conspicuous thing was only the somewhat depressed faces of Ye Hujiao and Ye Xiyan behind him.

Also, Concubine Zhou Duan said so much to herself and Ye Chiwan just now, but she didn't greet the two of them, and it was inevitable that the two of them would feel uncomfortable.

The corners of Jiang Shu's lips pursed lightly without moving, slowly turned around, and continued to move forward with a slight lift.

Bypass the towering Qianqiu Pavilion surrounded by flowers and trees in front, and then pass the Yangxing Zhai near Chuxiu Palace, and go all the way south through the palace road between the West Sixth Palace and the Middle Palace, and soon after, the four of them left the harem.

To the east of them was a large bluestone-paved square. On the north side of the square, the south-facing palace-style gate is the main gate of the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lives - Qianqing Gate.

I saw that it was about four or five zhang high, sitting on the white marble base more than four feet high, connected to the ground with white marble steps, surrounded by carved stone railings, and a bronze gilt lion was placed on both sides, which looked very majestic and magnificent.

To the west of them, there is the Longzong Gate leading to Cining Palace, although it is much lower than the Qianqing Gate, it still looks solemn.

The four sisters stopped nearby to watch for a moment, walked in slowly, walked southwest along the clean bluestone ground inside the door, and then passed a small gate called Yongkang Left Gate, which was the long and narrow square outside Cining Palace.

Cining Gate, the main gate of Cining Palace, is located in the middle of the north of the long and narrow square, and the same as the Qianqing Gate, it is the same as the palace-style gate, with white marble as the base, surrounded by carved stone railings. It's just that, compared to the Qianqing Gate, it is slightly shorter, and the placements on both sides have also been replaced with gilded Rui Beasts.

At this time, the vermilion lacquer doors were closed, no one was waiting in front of the door, and there was no movement inside, so it was difficult to guess whether there was anyone or not.

However, on the south side of the square and the Cining Gate, there is a small gate called Changxin Gate, which is wide open, and people enter and exit from time to time.

Jiang Shu saw that most of the people who went in were well-dressed official ladies, and guessed that it was the passage to Cining Garden, so he waved to Ye Hu, Ye Xiyao, and Ye Chi beside him, and walked over.

After entering the Changxin Gate, I followed the people along the small square that was narrow from north to south all the way to the south, reached the middle position, turned west and entered a nameless small gate, and the so-called Cining Garden arrived.

The garden is full of lush flowers and trees, the vegetation coverage rate is higher than that of the Imperial Garden, some trees have grown for many years, and the branches are intertwined, shading a shade, making the whole garden look simple and elegant.

In addition to the lush flowers and trees, there are also many potted flowers in full bloom in the garden.

At this time, many of the ladies of the officials who had been invited to the flower-viewing banquet had already arrived, and some of them had good relations, and they gathered together in groups of threes and threes, or paced in the garden to enjoy the flowers, or sat quietly in the pavilion and laughed, all with bright smiles on their faces. In that scene, people are really more delicate than flowers.

Jiang Shu was fascinated, and a crisp and pleasant female voice suddenly came from not far away, with a hint of excitement: "Jiang Shu, you are here!" ”
