Chapter 22: The Imperial Garden
Before Mama Xu's words fell, the eyes of many show girls showed expectant looks, I am afraid that if it weren't for the always strict Mama Xu in front, these people would rush out of the door.
Erfu had visited the Forbidden City in modern times, and had seen the imperial garden that crossed the central axis, but it was the middle of winter, covered with snow, so I didn't see the legendary scenery of flowers.
Mama Xu rarely showed a satisfied smile at Erfu's expression, but it was only a hint, because Mama Xu had already seen Erfu looking towards the palace gate.
Erfu was looking at the gate of the palace and walked into a strange middle-aged woman, her body had unconsciously twisted over, and she was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
The person at the gate of the palace was Aunt Qin, the aunt in charge of Chuxiu Palace, and as soon as Aunt Qin bypassed the shadow wall, she saw a plainly dressed show girl, blinking at her with a pair of big eyes.
"Aunt Qin, you're back!" Mama Xu saw the visitor, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said softly.
Aunt Qin glanced at Erfu, smiled slightly, blessed Mama Xu, and walked to the main hall of Chuxiu Palace.
"Today, it's the first time we've met, the slave maid is the aunt in charge of our Chuxiu Palace, and I've seen all the little masters!"
I saw that Aunt Qin was wearing a dark brown palace dress exclusive to middle-aged palace maids, with big wings combed on her head, two strands of dark red silk tassels on both sides, with a respectful smile on her face, and a round face that looked very kind.
"Presumably Mama Xu has already told you the news that you are going to the Imperial Garden, this Imperial Garden is the best place in our palace, don't forget your identity when you see you, you have to remember to salute when you see your lords, if you are to blame, we really can't protect you!
At that time, the four ladies will also meet you in the Imperial Garden, if you can really get the eyes of a few maidens, it will also be your blessing!" Aunt Qin continued with a smile.
After some lectures, the sun slowly rose. At the beginning of the day, Erfu and the others had breakfast in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, and they lined up in a long queue with first-class water, and walked out of Chuxiu Palace with the silk handkerchief in their hands.
Ten days after entering the palace, Erfu walked out of this square Chuxiu Palace for the first time, and once again stepped on the long bluestone road, with red walls and yellow tiles on both sides, and met a lot of little eunuchs wearing blue eunuch robes and hats on the top of their heads.
In line with the principle of not causing trouble and not attracting attention, Erfu directly withdrew his eyes, lowered his head and counted the bluestone bricks under his feet.
To tell the truth, this Chuxiu Palace is also the closest palace to the Imperial Garden, but the houses built by the ancient emperors are all wide and wide, even if they are the closest, it takes two or three incense sticks to walk.
What's more, now Erfu is standing in the middle of the team, with Aunt Qin leading the way in front and Mama Xu in the back.
The Imperial Garden was built in the Ming Dynasty, directly behind the Kunning Palace, across the central axis of the Forbidden City.
As soon as the group walked into the Imperial Garden, the eyes of these many beautiful girls looked around as if they couldn't use it, and the entire Imperial Garden was paved with several stone paths, and all kinds of stones were put together into exquisite figures, flowers and other pictures.
In the imperial garden, the pavilions and towers of the base of white marble, the cloister of the hand, the pine, bamboo and cypress towering dotted in it, the exquisite bonsai of various colors of pruning are placed on the roadside, it looks like it is really full of spring, beautiful.
Erfu honestly followed the show girl team, looked at the scenery on the side of the road, and silently thought in her heart, no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, look at this big garden, if ordinary people can buy it!
I don't know if this old man Kangxi knew Erfu's thoughts, he would directly pull out the imperial sword in anger and stab this flawed guy to death at once.
Aunt Qin didn't lead everyone around, but walked along the small stone road on the west road towards the Qianqiu Pavilion.
Erfu also saw the Chengrui Pavilion rebuilt by Yongzheng Ye from a distance, and saw that surrounded by the jungle, a bright yellow treasure top was exposed, which teased Erfu's heart.
Aunt Qin was not in the mood to notice Erfu's careful thoughts at this time, but instead lowered her head and carefully counted the steps, walking towards the Qianqiu Pavilion step by step.
Fortunately, Aunt Qin's calculations were not bad, and when she saw from a distance that there were no palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside the Qianqiu Pavilion, she was relieved and said loudly: "In front is the Qianqiu Pavilion, one of the four pavilions in the back garden of our palace, and a few ladies in our palace will also meet the big guys here in a while!"
"Wow......" The big guy immediately let out a sigh, looked at the white marble pedestal from a distance, and surrounded by the pavilion with white marble handrails, and talked excitedly.
Aunt Qin's face darkened, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Where have you learned the rules these days! If you are alarmed by the nobles, see how many heads you have to lose!"
A scolding voice made many show girls who were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of them come back to their senses, and they hurriedly followed behind Aunt Qin in silence, and walked into the Qianqiu Pavilion step by step.
Compared with the Qianqiu Pavilion in front of him, Erfu hopes to see the original Chengrui Pavilion with his own eyes.
"Okay, it seems that a few ladies haven't come over yet, so it's not good for us to go in first, let's just wait around here!" Aunt Qin walked under the corridor of the Qianqiu Pavilion, then turned around and said with a smile.
In the middle of May, although the weather is still relatively cool, it is still very uncomfortable to stand under the sun.
Erfu only felt that a layer of fine sweat had stretched out on his neck, and he pulled Long Hua on his neck a little out of shape, and was about to wipe the sweat beads on his neck when he felt that his wrist was being pulled by someone.
"Hurry up and let me wipe it, it's hot!" Erph didn't look back and wanted to pull back his hand, and said impatiently, seeing that the person behind him didn't react, he turned his head a little unhappily.
Mama Xu was standing behind Erfu with a black face, so frightened that Erfu's little heart jumped up, and she was busy with her body, and said softly: "Mama, who are you?"
