In the Old Summer Palace, as Hongli and Hongzhou got married, the original Changchun Fairy Pavilion was no longer the residence of the prince, but was replaced by "the depths of the cave."
Deep in the cave is a huge building complex, each with its own courtyard and grouped into groups. In the southeast corner of the Old Summer Palace, there is the prince's study in the front and the residence in the back. Go around to the northeast and go to the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall and the Zhengdaguangming Palace.
Walking in the direction of the palace, you will inevitably pass by the military aircraft area.
In the Old Summer Palace, all external administrative departments were facing the main entrance of the Zhengda Guangming Palace - outside the Xianliang Gate. Only military aircraft were inside the Xianliang Gate, which was closer to Yinzhen and the center of power than other institutions.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the core area.
Look further east.
Adjacent to the garden wall on the outside of the east corridor deep in the cave is a long warehouse courtyard. It is only a tea time away from Yinzhen's Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall. The distance is very close, which makes it convenient for the emperor to supervise the prince's study at all times.
Condition.
Of course, the so-called "reading" is only for Yu Hongxin.
When Hongxin returned, the sky was already dark.
After turning the corner, the eunuch on duty in the depths of the cave saw him from a distance. He immediately smiled and called Qian'er in a soft voice: "I'm going to say hello to the sixth elder brother. May the sixth elder brother be blessed! Brother
It's a coincidence that I came back. If I were a little later, I'm afraid the key to the palace door would have to be released."
Hongxin responded pleasantly.
The eunuch was summoned and became more and more daring. With a smile on his face, he came forward with a lamp and said, "Brother Six, be careful where you step. I will take care of you."
Little Yoko walked past the eunuch without even looking at him, carrying a bunch of clothes in large and small packages, and the corner of his robe almost threw him in the face.
Hongxin had just entered the depths of the cave when he saw the carriage of his fifth brother Hongzhou approaching from a distance.
Hongxin raised his hand and told people to step aside.
Hong Zhou came closer and recognized Hong Xin. He couldn't help but raise his hand to make people stop, and said with a smile: "Why is the sixth brother coming back so late?"
Hongxin laughed and said, "In winter, Fifth Brother looks like it's getting dark, but in fact it's still early."
Hong Zhou looked him up and down with a smile, and saw that he was wearing simple clothes, with only a jade belt faintly shining, a jade pendant on his waist, and a beaded purse, which jingled against each other as he walked.
.
Hongxin let him look at her, but stood respectfully on the roadside, and said: "Fifth brother, please."
Hong Zhou nodded, gave a few instructions, and after a respectful ceremony, he let the sedan pass by.
Hongxin returned to the courtyard, and several haha beads came up to greet him. A young eunuch had already come to say hello - it turned out that it was in the afternoon, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had given some more "literati furniture" according to the emperor's instructions. There was a three-story building
A screen, a nanmu bookcase eight feet four inches high, and a glass screen with half-legged legs leaning against the wall.
The shape is elegant and generous.
Hongxin walked over and took out one of the bookshelf, and saw that it was already filled with many newly delivered books, all of which had never been read before. There were a few books whose titles Huang Amama had mentioned.
Open the book compartment further down, and there is a brocade box in it.
He opened the brocade box, and it turned out that there was an edict inside, which read: Make another one according to the display box of the military aircraft office. It is four feet high, two feet five inches wide, and one foot five inches deep. There are boards on both sides of the bottom, and on both sides.
It is used as a book account and comes with gauze curtains. It can be put up when it is needed. It is better to take it down without trying. Give it to the eunuch in charge, Su Peisheng, to take it to you. I admire this.
Little Yoko watched from the side, looking at the pile of books sent by Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, piled up like a hill. He was happy, but also felt a little sorry for his elder brother. He said softly: "Brother Six, I will clean it up for you first."
Go in, it’s too messy here, brother, please go in and sit and wait.”
Hongxin hummed, then shook her head, turned around and asked: "Where is the book list and gift book?"
A young eunuch had already served it quickly.
Hongxin took the book list and sat aside under the lamp to read it carefully.
Little Yoko still remembered the imperial concubine's instructions, and stepped forward to persuade him in a gentle voice: "Brother Six, the emperor does not give you books once or twice. The sky is not bright today, and the candles at night will inevitably hurt your eyes. Imperial Concubine
The empress has also told this slave that Brother Six must put his body first, and it will be the same tomorrow morning."
Hongxin shook his head and said gently: "What E Niang said makes sense."
He said this, but he didn't put down the hand holding the book for a moment.
Little Yoko sighed silently and did not dare to persuade him any more. He could only wave to the little eunuch next to him and ask him to light the palace lantern that was serving him more brightly.
The theater in the palace has not been open since the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Ma Changzai followed Xibin to Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace several times.
Xi Concubine is not like Concubine Yu - ever since Concubine Chen became pregnant, although she is still in charge of palace affairs, the specific affairs have all fallen on her shoulders. In this way, she is not intrusive even in front of the emperor.
However, Xibi could only find some things to talk about when she became the concubine. By the way, she pushed Ma Changzai in front of the emperor, and mentioned several times that Ma Changzai had a good voice. If the emperor was tired of criticizing him, he would
, maybe let her sing a part.
Ma Changzai cowered behind Xibi, and when he saw the emperor's pale expression several times, he felt discouraged.
On the other hand, Concubine Qian saw her kissing Concubine Xi several times, and her expression turned ugly when she returned. She then pulled Li Guiren into her yard, and the two of them closed the door and murmured for a while.
…
In the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace, Yinzhen's slender fingers passed over the chessboard.
The opponent is Zhang Tingyu.
The two of them were silent, and the only sound in the palace was the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard.
After a long while, Yinzhen burst out laughing: "I was careless in this game!"
Zhang Tingyu lifted up the hem of his clothes, stood up respectfully, looked at the chess game on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "This is a narrow victory for me - the emperor is busy with everything, even between black and white, it is inevitable to think about other things, but I...
Give it your all.”
Yinzhen smiled and talked about some things about the court, especially asking about Sixth Elder Brother Hongxin's daily lessons, Zhang Tingyu answered them all respectfully.
Yinzhen watched Zhang Tingyu go out, sat on the throne and pondered for a long time, then called Su Peisheng, and ordered that the newly made rosewood ivory bookshelf made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs be inlaid with ivory on all sides.
The small glass insert screen on the side seat and the low desk with a rotating board were all given to Mr. Zhang.
After giving these orders, the two imperial doctors who were waiting outside to report the pulse of the imperial concubine were summoned in by Su Peisheng.
The imperial concubine's due date is around the end of the first year, which is only about a month away.
After Concubine Chen became pregnant, the imperial doctors had been divided into four groups of eight people. They took turns to be on duty at the lower office of the Imperial Pharmacy. Two people came in and out, and two people reported the pulse to the emperor every time. It was one day before the delivery date**
Recently, the "Shou Xi" imperial doctors have also become three-in-one shifts, taking turns to stay on duty at night.
In the spring of the Tiandi family, Aunt Jingqi sent two more Aunts of Light and two Aunts of Water.
In addition, Yinzhen also made a decree that as long as Concubine Chen wanted to, she could let one of her family members live in the house and take care of her personally.
