The two most famous palaces in the Tang Dynasty are the Renzhi Palace built by Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, on Yuhua Mountain, and the Renshou Palace, built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, in Linyou County.
In the 21st year of Zhenguan, the former was ordered by Li Shimin to expand a new palace and was renamed Yuhua Palace. The latter was renovated by Li Shimin this year and was renamed Jiucheng Palace.
Throughout the entire historical period of the Tang Dynasty, the temperature was higher than modern times, which was a warm period. In summer, although the homes of nobles and gentry in the Tang Dynasty had ice storage, it was not comparable to modern refrigeration methods.
Ordinary people were pinned to death on the ground. No matter it was windy, rainy or sunny, they had to endure it anyway.
But the nobility and royal family are different. They can move when it gets cold or hot. Manors and palaces are what they use to enjoy.
It was customary that in midsummer, the royal family would leave the hot Chang'an with all its civil and military officials to escape the summer heat at Renzhi Palace.
But this year, Empress Changsun was not suitable for traveling long distances because she was heavy and weak, so she did not leave the palace to escape the summer heat.
Empress Changsun didn't go, so Li Shimin naturally stayed in the palace.
If the emperor and queen don't go, the rest of the people will naturally have no chance of going out to escape the heat.
Because Lin Wanwan couldn't stand the heat in Guanzhong, she drew a picture and asked the carpenter who relied on her in her manor to build a hand-cranked fan.
This kind of fan was introduced in Lin Wanwan of Luan County last year. It is based on the pottery windmill and has been improved by modern smart people. It has a reasonable design and a large air volume. Even in a place like Datang, it will not appear too obtrusive.
After all, the windmill used by farmers to blow grain has been invented since the Han Dynasty.
Just like last year, Lin Wanwan put modern pure water into the mold, then froze it into ice in the freezer, and then put it in front of a hand-cranked fan, and a simple version of the air-conditioning fan came out.
When Princess Changle, Mrs. Cui and others came to the manor to look for Lin Wanwan, they found this good thing and were immediately pleasantly surprised.
Lin Wanwan launched the fans for sale at the right time and made another round of money.
Every noble family in Chang'an City has purchased several of them, and the carpenter workshop in Lin Wanwan's manor is working non-stop day and night.
Although there are some people who don't pay attention to copyright, and after buying one, they directly find their own craftsmen in Chang'an City to copy it, but such people are in the minority.
Because Lin Wanwan created a brand that was closely related to the royal family, and distributed small leaflets to promote the concept of the brand. At the same time, she also let fans and soap share the same brand.
You must know that the soaps and soaps in Zaolefang are all produced by Lin Wanwan and Princess Changle.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, princesses are the most popular people.
There are countless people who follow Princess Feng. The fan you use and the fan used by the princess are made by the same craftsman. Isn’t that enough to make you stinky?
Therefore, just for this LOGO, Lin Wanwan can get a few extra bucks.
Because of the "air conditioning fan with ice" that Lin Wanwan donated to the palace, the hot summer will not be difficult to endure.
Empress Changsun lamented to Li Shimin more than once that Lin Wanwan's master was really a god, able to teach a disciple with so many clever ideas.
It was because Lin Wanwan had an engagement with Xiao Chong, otherwise she would have entered the palace and become the emperor's woman long ago.
Such smart, famous and aristocratic beauties have been the forbidden favorite of emperors since ancient times.
Wu Zhao was promoted to the palace by Li Shimin because of his good reputation.
In fact, Lin Wanwan was already low-key enough in Chang'an City. She was afraid of attracting the attention of the people and discovering her abnormalities, so she didn't dare to reveal many things.
Compared with the arrogance in Luan County, it is completely different.
In Luan County, her family had fruits and beef all year round, and all kinds of goodies that were unheard of in the Tang Dynasty.
But in Chang'an, she didn't dare to bring out so many things out of thin air. Everyone she got along with was a clever little kid, and she couldn't deal with everyone.
Lin Wanwan was already extremely restrained, but to the natives of the Tang Dynasty, even after being extremely restrained, Lin Wanwan was still as different as the bright moon.
In the palace, Lin Wanwan hid in the room assigned to her all day long. Princess Changle came to play with her on her own initiative. She would not take the initiative to find Princess Changle.
Every day, apart from asking for peace of mind from Queen Changsun and chatting with Princess Changle for a while to relieve her boredom, she did nothing else.
She was as cautious as Lin Daiyu when she first entered Jia's house, refusing to say one more word or take one more step.
After spending her last "pharmacist" life peacefully, she can leave!
She has seen the prosperity of Chang'an City. She has also seen a lot of the big bosses of the Tang Dynasty. It was a worthwhile trip.
Living in the palace, although Lin Wanwan heard nothing outside the window, because Princess Changle would bring news to her, she also knew a lot of gossip in the palace.
When the concubines paid their respects to Empress Changsun, she also witnessed a lot of jealousy.
The beauties worked so hard for the emperor. In Lin Wanwan's eyes, it was like watching a palace fight movie.
In order to avoid affecting herself, Lin Wanwan completely stayed away from these concubines.
Anyway, she is not a medicine-keeper who was born as a slave. These concubines would not dare to use her as a slave.
If Lin Wanwan is willing to work hard, she can naturally prosper in the palace with her medical skills.
But she didn't want to get involved in the fights between the women in the palace, so it was naturally impossible for her to take the initiative to contact them, let alone develop a relationship.
In such a low-key manner, ten days passed by in a flash, during which Lin Wanwan never met Li Shimin once.
The story of the emperor wandering around the harem every day as shown in the Gongdou TV series did not appear at all.
Although Li Shimin was definitely not a very diligent emperor in history, after handling government affairs, he would rather go out hunting, play polo, or play Cuju than hang out in the harem.
Women are really not that important to the emperor.
If the emperor's life is divided into ten points, then for Li Shimin, the country, the country, the civil servants and generals will account for six points, the pursuit of immortality will account for three points, and the remaining one point will be shared by all women.
Before Lin Wanwan entered the palace, she was worried that she would be favored by Li Shimin again if she lived in the palace. This was completely narcissistic.
Even if she wanted to meet Li Shimin, it would be difficult for her to get the chance. As for meeting by chance, she couldn't even think about it.
All the women in the palace tried their best to meet him by chance. Many of them had no chance when they were born in Huafa.
On this day, Xia cicadas were chirping tirelessly on the branches. Lin Wanwan and Li Lizhi sat together and learned embroidery. The maids brought fans over and shook them silently.
The wind, cooled by the large ice cubes, brought a little coolness to the body, dissipating some of the heat brought about by summer.
The noise of cicadas outside the window actually made the palace even quieter.
Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded outside.
It is forbidden to run in the palace, but the sound of footsteps seems to be that of a foot race.
Lin Wanwan put down the embroidery that she couldn't quite see, and looked towards the door.
Sure enough, the figure of the maid of the Li Zheng Palace appeared in the next second: "Mr. Le'an Township, Her Royal Highness the Queen has launched! The abdominal pain is unbearable now, please follow me quickly."
