Chapter 95, Daxuan Palace, Qingliang Palace
After the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, he directly ordered the Internal Affairs Office to prepare for the summer vacation, and immediately, this good news spread throughout the Six Palaces.
As Concubine Li, who is now in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, Wen immediately came to the emperor to ask the emperor about the relevant matters of the harem escort.
"The concubine thought, if she followed the old practice the year before last, just add Wei Meiren, and Wu Jieyu is still in confinement, so she can only stay in the Forbidden City for the time being." Concubine Li told the story.
Xuan Chengyi's eyes were slightly surprised, he thought that Concubine Li would take the opportunity to propose and let the concubine stay in the palace to take care of it.
Xuan Chengyi nodded, "That's fine." β
Concubine Li had a decent smile on her face, of course she would not take the opportunity to embarrass the concubine, even if the emperor did not give face to the concubine, he would always give face to the Xia family. The dignified concubine was left alone in the Forbidden City, and it is indeed not like that.
"Now that Ye Cainu and Wei Meiren are pregnant, the arrangement of this palace is ...... The concubine thought, it is better to choose a spacious and comfortable palace as much as possible, I don't know what the emperor wants? Concubine Li looked dignified and virtuous.
Xuan Chengyi was very satisfied in his heart, "This little thing, you just look at the arrangement." β
"Yes, the concubines will definitely be arranged, please rest assured." Concubine Li bowed, asked for instructions on the day of summer driving, and some details, and knelt down.
After Concubine Li left, Jiang Yongfu smiled and served a cup of tea, "Concubine Li is really thoughtful everywhere." β
Xuan Chengyi let out a sigh, yes, if it weren't for the Wen family's background in the Founding Mansion, it would be okay for this harem to let her keep in charge of Yuan......
Although for a while, Concubine Li will not be restless.
But it's almost time to balance.
"How is the concubine doing this time?" Xuan Chengyi asked lightly.
Jiang Yongfu hurriedly said: "Back to Long Live Lord, the noble concubine has become more and more interested in the four princes recently. Wu Jieyu gave birth to a little princess, and now she is in confinement, and the concubine has a ready-made reason not to let the four princes go to Yongqing Palace, so she naturally has to try her best to entrap the four princes.
Xuan Chengyi was silent for a moment, "On the Wu family's side, give more rewards and appease." β
"Yes, slave understands."
In the middle of April of the 11th year of Tianze, the emperor was driven by the empress dowager Feng, and the concubines of the six palaces, the princess and princess, and went to the Daxuan Palace in the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer.
Although there were already steam trains in this era, the speed of this thing was ...... It's not as good as a horse-drawn carriage, and the load capacity is considerable.
Therefore, the car of the emperor and concubine is naturally still a carriage, and the palace is in the suburbs, which is not too far, but it arrived at the destination in half a day.
The emperor and the queen mother walked through the south gate of the Daxuan Palace, that is, the Daxuan Gate, and the concubines led by the concubine could only go to the Xishun Gate. This is a rule that can't mess with the dignity and humility of concubines, no matter how expensive the concubine is, she is the emperor's concubine after all, not to mention the group of women like Concubine Li, the fourth concubine and Wei Jiashu.
After entering the Xishun Gate, get off the car and change the shoulder, Wei Jiashu sat leisurely on the cushioned mahogany shoulder, sat for half an hour, and then arrived at the destination - Qingliang Palace.
Qingliang Hall is located on the west side of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Emperor's Bedroom, and the geographical location is a bit like the West Sixth Palace, but the palace buildings in this area are not like the square specifications of the Forbidden City, but large and small palaces.
Qingliang Hall is located on the shore of the North Sea, the west side is a piece of Xiao Xiao purple bamboo, surrounded by bamboo forest and lake, is a heavy eaves rest mountain roof hall, the main hall is full of five rooms, such specifications, it is simply the specifications of the main hall of the six palaces in the east and west of the Forbidden City!
Wei Jiashu saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but be speechless, "This specification ...... Seems to be a bit overstepping? β
The eunuch who led Wei Jiashu here said with a smile: "Wei Meiren is too worried, this is the Daxuan Palace, and there are countless palaces. Ji Jieyu and Hui Jieyu's palace is also of this standard. β
Wei Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought, but it is also true, Concubine Li has always been thoughtful, and she will not make a mistake in violating the palace rules.
"Then I'll be relieved." As she spoke, she gestured to Yingluo to glance.
Ying Luo didn't say a word, so he stuffed a piece of silver into the eunuch's sleeve, "It's hot, my beauty invites my father-in-law to tea." β
The leading eunuch immediately smiled into a flower, "Thank you for the beauty!" Beauty is working hard today, please rest! β
Although the smooth cement road has already been repaired, Wei Jiashu has been working in a carriage for half a day, and his butt is inevitably a little numb.
And the stomach is hungry too.
The hall of Qingliang Hall is high and wide, after the huge mahogany glass door is opened, the hall is suddenly breezy and delicate, with a slight bamboo fragrance, and the end is refreshing.
"On the way here, I saw the purple bamboo forest in the west, which must be a good place to enjoy the shade." Wei Jiashu sat on the wide and soft Luohan couch in the new hall, took the honey grapefruit tea offered by Yingluo, and took a sip slowly.
Yingluo said with a smile: "There are many palaces in the south of the North Sea, and there are not too many landscapes. In this palace, there are 36 scenic spots, mostly distributed on the east and west sides of the North Sea and the wide north. β
Wei Jiashu couldn't help but yearn for it, "Yingluo, you've been here many times before, right?" β
Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, it's just that the slaves and maids used to serve in the Xuanzheng Palace, and they never had a good time to look at the scenery of the Great Xuan Palace." β
Wei Jiashu yawned, "When I rest for two days, let's go out and have a good look." β
Wei Jiashu looked at this cool hall, "The palace room that Concubine Li arranged for me is really spacious enough. ββThe interior should be decorated very elegantly, especially the Suzhou embroidered screen of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.
Yingluo nodded: "Concubine Li's mother is indeed virtuous, if only she could always be in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace." β
Yes, after all, it is impossible for the emperor to let Concubine Li always control the six palaces, even if Concubine Li is thorough in everything and is better than the concubine.
In about half an hour, the meal was ready.
Because there are no other concubines in the Changqiu Palace, almost all the cooks in the dining room of the Changqiu Palace followed, and this time the new arrival in the Qingliang Palace, although they are not familiar with the pot stove, but so many people opened the fire together, and still cooked a table of exquisite and delicious dishes.
Since she became a beauty, and because she was pregnant, the dishes on the table have become more and more exquisite and numerous.
A bowl of sour bamboo shoots and shredded chicken soup, the most flavorful of Hewei Jiashu, as well as the attractive color of lychee braised pork, the delicious and rich stewed black chicken with white fruit lotus seeds, as well as jade shrimp balls, steamed beef, spring bamboo shoots and small hooves, silver sprout loin shreds, and a few refreshing vegetarian dishes - hot and sour melon strips, pine nuts and chrysanthemum and fish-flavored eggplant.
The staple food is fragrant eight-treasure rice, and Wei Jiashu eats it with a round belly in one go, which is called a satisfaction.
After eating and drinking, Wei Jiashu couldn't help but feel sleepy, "I'll take a nap first." β
Zhu Yun helped her into the inner hall of the Qingliang Palace, the refreshing rain passed the azure curtain, and the fluffy and soft bedding that had been dried in advance, Wei Jiashu fell into it, and after a while, he breathed evenly.
Zhu Yun said in a low voice: "The little master looks tired. Then he hurriedly put down the curtain and went out to share the remaining delicacies with Yingluo.
