On this occasion, there is another big news, that is, Yongzheng will soon leave for the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.
This was really beyond Shu Jin's expectation. She had thought that it would have to be expanded for a few years. In fact, she had overlooked that the Old Summer Palace could already be inhabited.
This garden of ten thousand gardens took three dynasties of construction to complete. While it was being built, it was possible to live in it at the same time, so there was no delay at all.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he mainly repaired some palaces centered on Qingyan Point in Kyushu, and added the area of the former dynasty, and built a place to avoid noise and listen to politics, so that he could naturally go to escape the summer heat.
Because of this good deed, the Queen finally saw a rare smile, "I haven't been to the Old Summer Palace in some years. Although the palace is majestic and prosperous, it is really difficult in the summer."
Indeed, the Forbidden City is like a steamer in the summer! High-status concubines like Shu Jin still have enough ice to relieve the heat, but low-status concubines can only survive it.
"It's a pity that Mr. Qi no longer has this blessing." After all, the queen did not forget to insult her old love rival in Changchun Palace.
Concubine Jin showed joy: "What do you mean, your Majesty, in addition to Mr. Qi, all the sisters can accompany you?"
The queen pursed her lips and smiled, caressing the golden silk hairpin on her temples, "We, the emperor, have a few concubines, so we can accommodate them all. Of course, the emperor also specially arranged a palace for the empress dowager and the empress dowager.
It is used to escape the summer heat. The Empress Dowager lives in Wanfang Anhe, and the Empress Dowager lives in the Changchun Fairy Pavilion. They are both cool and pleasant places."
Shu Jin didn't know about these two palaces. He only heard that the names were very impressive, and he knew that the specifications must be extraordinary.
While she was talking, the queen had already asked someone to bring out the map of the Old Summer Palace and showed it to her concubines one by one.
The huge map slowly unfolded, with water crisscrossing the map, and palaces and pavilions scattered in an orderly manner. The Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace in the middle was, needless to say, the emperor's bedroom. On both sides of the palace, there were many palaces, presumably for the concubines.
's residence.
Before Shu Jin could take a closer look, the map was brought back to the queen.
The queen sat on the phoenix chair and smiled slightly: "The east and west sides of Qingyan in Jiuzhou are just like the six palaces in the east and west. There are Danning Hall and Yinghui Hall in the east, Fuchun Hall and Ningchun Hall in the west, and the rest of the halls.
Although Yuan You is slightly smaller, they are both exquisite and elegant."
Shu Jin secretly thought, that is to say, there are only four places in the big palace - hiss, there are five main seats, which is not enough.
No, wait, there is still a queen who has to occupy a place, and it will be just right for the three concubines to share a palace.
The queen's eyes fell on a larger palace in the southeast, "I chose the Moon Kaiyun Palace in the southeast, and among these four palaces, it is most in line with the rules to give it to the fourth concubine."
The Moon Kaiyun Palace? The name is very elegant, just like Wanfang Anhe and Changchun Immortal Palace, but its specifications are far higher than those of the East and West Palaces.
Yes, the queen is differentiating her status from concubines.
Shu Jin took a quick look, even though the Moon Kaiyun was farther away from Kyushu Qingyan...
After scanning the people below, Mao Bin looked as usual, but Jin Bin could not hold back her smile.
Jinbin prides herself on being noble, but she never imagined that when she went to the Old Summer Palace, she wouldn't even be able to get into the main hall.
The queen looked at these palaces carefully and said slowly: "Since Concubine Yu is the head of the concubines, this Danning Palace will be given to you."
Young Master Shu Jin had to stand up in a hurry to thank him.
Then the queen pointed to the Yinghui Hall next to the Danning Hall and gave it to Concubine Xi, and then gave the Fuchun Hall to the west to Concubine Dun who was raising her child behind closed doors - apparently, Concubine Dun also wanted to accompany her.
Drive to escape the heat.
Maobin was pointed to Qingxi Bookstore, and Jinbin lived in Shende Hall.
In this way, it stands to reason that this is the arrangement.
But the queen cleared her throat and said, "Your Majesty Li, please stay in Lanzao Zhai."
Li Guiren, who has been keeping a low profile recently, couldn't help but be startled, and he had to stand up quickly: "Empress, the concubine is from the palace of Imperial Concubine Yu." - Logically speaking, there is no need to make other arrangements for the off-site position. Especially in the main hall, where the off-site position is located.
The hall is also very spacious.
The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "This palace has given you a special place to live alone. Isn't Li Guiren happy?"
Shu Jin saw this and quickly gestured.
Although Li Guiren didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Queen's gourd, the middle palace had such authority, so he had to kneel down and say: "I don't dare, I would like to thank the Queen for her grace."
The queen then showed a satisfied look, "Li Guiren has thought about it for a month, and it seems that he understands the rules much better."
Li Gui was angry in his heart, but his face was as gentle as before, and the queen could not find any fault at all.
Shu Jin saw this and finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could bear it.
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and changed the subject: "Empress, how will Guo Changzai of Changchun Palace be accommodated?" - Qi Guiren does not have the honor of accompanying him, so who should Guo Changzai follow?
The queen pointed casually: "Then give the Guo Family Yanshuang Tower."
After hearing this, Guo Changzai hurriedly stood up to thank him.
By the way, there is also Zhang Changzai, who originally lived with Maobin in the side hall of Yanxi Palace. But now the Qingxi Bookstore seems not very spacious... I took a sneak peek at Maobin, but she looked unmoved.
It seems that Mao Bi has already made arrangements, so there is no need for her to talk.
After another seven or eight days of rectification, Yongzheng formally enthroned the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and his concubines.
The Old Summer Palace is located on the outskirts of Beijing. You can start early in the morning and arrive at noon.
"Empress, this is your Danning Palace!" Zhang Shoufa, the chief eunuch, bowed his waist and helped Shu Jin out of the warm sedan.
What you enter is a large hall with a width of five rooms. The specifications are almost the same as the main hall of Chengqian Palace, but it is a little less magnificent and a little more delicate and elegant. More importantly, the courtyard in front of this hall is very open.
Moreover, more flowers and trees are planted. Now is the season when the flowers and trees are lush and lush.
Moreover, the air here is also very fresh, with the fragrance of flowers and a bit of moisture, which makes people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
Shu Jin held Fatty Tianshen's soft little hand and asked, "Does Tianshen like it here?"
Fatty Tianshen nodded heavily.
"Woof woof!" The Pekingese dog came to a new place in vain and was very happy, its little tail kept wagging.
"Ask the cook to prepare lunch. Oh, it doesn't have to be too sumptuous." After all, I just moved, so I'm probably not familiar with it yet. Of course, the main reason is that Shu Jin is hungry and doesn't want to wait too long.
"Hey!" Li Shouzhong, the eunuch in charge of the kitchen, was too busy to call Qian'er, so he trotted off to deliver the message.
In about half an hour, lunch was served on the table, including duck tongue soup, chicken bamboo shoots porridge, hibiscus eggs, milk fish, three sponge gourd rolls, diced eight-treasure rabbit, enoki mushrooms, fried golden cakes, and fragrant deer.
Meatloaf and duck stuffed with glutinous rice were put together to make a "perfect" meal. The taste was quite satisfactory, but she was hungry, so naturally everything was delicious.
After eating eight or nine times full, Shu Jin held a cup of jasmine tongue and drank slowly.
Li Shouzhong saw this and said quickly: "The pots and stoves in the small kitchen of Danning Palace are all new, but the cook really doesn't take advantage of them."
Shu Jin had eaten and drank enough, with a lazy expression, "It doesn't matter, just take your time and it will be fine."
