Cining Palace is located on the West Road outside the Forbidden City. There is a long and narrow square running east-west in front of the west gate of Longzong Gate. The two ends are Yongkang left gate, Yongkang right gate, and Changxin gate on the south side.
Cining Gate is located on the north side of the square. There is a high platform corridor inside that is connected to the main hall, Cining Palace. There are corridors on the east and west sides of the courtyard. It turns to the south to connect with Cining Gate, and to the north, it reaches the front yard of the east and west wings of the back sleeping hall (that is, the Great Buddha Hall). There is a door in the middle of the east and west verandahs, the east is called the Huiyin left gate, and the west is called the Huiyin right gate.
There are 7 rooms on the top of Xieshan Mountain with double eaves and yellow glazed tiles. Five of them each have 4 double-crossed four-bowl water chestnut doors. There is a brick sill wall between the two ends, and each room has 4 double-cross four-bowl water chestnut doors.
According to feudal etiquette, the emperor could not live with the concubines of the previous dynasty in the six east and west palaces. In order to accommodate the concubines of the old emperor who had passed away, the Cining Palace was specially built for them to live in.
"Go in, I'm here"
Looking at the sad Chen Meili in front of the palace, Xuan Ye smiled brightly. He never expected that she would also be so overwhelmed.
"You don't understand. I haven't seen each other for so many years. I don't know where I came from." The facial features of Sumala Aunt and Xiaozhuang appeared in my mind, and their kindness to me came to mind.
Xuan Ye laughed: "Then you still woke me up early in the morning."
Finally having a free day, I wanted to sleep alone with Mei Mei, but I didn’t know that Mei Mei had such a filial heart and was thinking about the two elders in Cining Palace.
There were footsteps inside the house, and two figures suddenly appeared in front of the door.
"You guys just come in, come in!"
A familiar voice came to his ears. Chen Meili raised his head and looked at the gray-haired Xiaozhuang with a bright smile.
Aunt Sumala on the side explained: "My father-in-law came to tell me about it a long time ago, but he has not been seen yet, but the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother are the ones who are anxious!"
Chen Meili turned around and smiled at Xuan Ye.
The furnishings in Cining Palace are as old as before, making people feel like they have gone back to many years ago.
"I just know that there is a new nobleman in the palace, who is favored by the emperor. I asked who it is, and it turns out to be you!" Xiaozhuang sighed, looking up and down at Chen Meili in front of him, and stretched out one hand.
Chen Meili understood and stepped forward to hold hands.
"The Grand Empress Dowager Gui'an, seeing your beauty is truly a blessing."
Xiaozhuang pulled Chen Meili in front of him and looked at him carefully: "I'm old, these eyes are no longer useful, let the Aijia take a look... They are still like this." As he spoke, his eyes turned to the side of Xuan Ye, Finally, it came back to Chen Meili
"Not only your worries, but most importantly, the emperor's worries are over, too!"
Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the room
