Chapter six hundred and sixty seventh palace maid

The summer was quite sultry, but it passed quickly.

After a heavy rain, the weather suddenly became much cooler.

The rice fields in the fields can also start harvesting at this time.

Based on the memorials submitted by various places, Lu Chensheng determined that all places were enjoying a bumper harvest this year, and he was quite happy.

"Sir, the palace has been completed. Do you need to go and see it?"

On this day, an attendant came to report that the palace had been completed.

Lu Chensheng heard this, thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Lu Chensheng was also quite curious about how the palace was being built now.

After leaving the door, Lu Chensheng followed the attendants through the palace gate, and then entered the palace.

The imperial palace at this moment is very magnificent. In front of the Chengtian Hall is an open square, which is extremely huge.

The steps towards the main hall contain the number ninety-five.

Lu Chensheng walked all the way forward, looking at this huge palace with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Before he came here, the construction had not been completely completed, but now that it is completed, it is really extraordinary and makes people feel inexplicably shocked when they see it.

It is hard to imagine that such a huge and complex palace was built bit by bit by craftsmen.

In front of the main hall, the gates are extremely tall and red in color, making the gate look a bit more solemn.

After Lu Chensheng entered the hall, he immediately felt a cool feeling.

The floor tiles in the main hall were replaced with jade at this time, and the light is discernible.

If you look carefully, you can see that a pattern is carved bit by bit in these jade stones.

When Lu Chensheng saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

There are so many jade stones, and the patterns are carved piece by piece and put together without any flaws. This level of craftsmanship is even more astonishing.

Lu Chensheng stepped into the hall and walked forward.

There is an underground spring in the main hall, which divides the main hall into two parts.

"Sir, on the left and right here are the positions of civil servants and generals."

The craftsman on the side saw this and quickly explained.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "The fact that this hall is so cool is due to the spring water, right?"

"Yes, the spring water here will continue to gush out, and it will also continuously bring out cool air. In this way, the hall will always be very cool."

The craftsman responded immediately.

I am also quite proud of the masterpieces here.

"What if it's winter? Will it be bone-chilling?"

Lu Chensheng was a little confused. In the summer, it was a good thing to keep the place cool because of the cool air brought by the spring water.

But if it's cold and freezing in winter, that's not a good thing.

The craftsman immediately shook his head after hearing this, "Don't worry, sir. We have tested it before in winter, and it will not be cold. Please rest assured, even in winter, the hall will still be very warm."

The craftsman and Lu Chensheng explained some of the arrangements in the hall.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Lu Chensheng realized that there was a lot of exquisiteness in this hall.

In winter, this hall will gather light to ensure the temperature in the hall. In addition, if it feels too cold, there is a mechanism on the side that can cover the spring water in the hall.

In summer, if you still don't feel cool just by relying on the spring water, there are other facilities.

There are some water storage areas on the surrounding roofs, and water can be brought to the roof mechanically to create a rain curtain and directly cool down.

In addition, there is a summer house dug out of the mountain wall at the back.

It's a much cooler place to escape the heat. No matter how hot it is outside, it won't affect the inside at all.

It can be said that just to cope with summer and winter, there are already many more coping methods here.

The craftsman explained on the side, while Lu Chensheng listened and inspected the huge palace.

The dragon chair above has also been completed and is quite spacious.

Lu Chensheng was not in a hurry to sit on it, but just looked around.

The palace is already being guarded by people at this time to prevent anyone from trying to sit on it.

In this position, only Lu Chensheng can sit for a long time in the future.

"Sir, let's go to the harem again."

Lu Chensheng nodded, and the craftsman led the way.

The palace was extremely huge. What Lu Chensheng didn't expect was that a sedan of the highest standard had already been prepared.

After leaving the Chengtian Hall, Lu Chensheng got on the sedan chair and walked leisurely towards the harem.

There are many buildings in the harem.

Along the way, you can see halls, halls, pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, corridors, pavilions, houses, houses, bridges, gates, walls, towers and other unique buildings here.

Various rockeries, as well as plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, are planted here.

Around him, Lu Chensheng also saw various beautiful maids. When they saw the sedan, they all bowed down to them one by one, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.

"these are?"

Lu Chensheng looked at these maids, raised his brows, and said strangely.

"Sir, these will be the maids of the palace from now on."

This time, another person replied, "The Ministry of Etiquette selected the people and trained them before sending them here. Now they come in first to get familiar with the environment, so that they can serve the master and the mistress in the future."

Lu Chensheng suddenly smiled helplessly when he heard this.

Probably understanding what Lu Chensheng was thinking, the official on the side continued.

"Sir, the harem is so huge and your status is very noble. Naturally, you need someone to serve you. In the future, there will be mistresses and others, and they will also need to be served by palace maids."

Lu Chensheng heard this and thought about it.

This palace is too big, and there are many places that need people.

Not to mention the rest, just the cleaning chores require people to do it.

"Palace maids are needed, but eunuchs will be exempted from now on. Let the people in the Ministry of Rites pay attention to the fact that my dynasty does not need eunuchs."

Lu Chensheng did not want to have the position of eunuch anymore, lest the dictatorship of eunuchs would happen again in the future.

The official was startled when he heard this, "But sir, we also need some manpower in the palace. If we are just palace maids, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle some things."

Men who can appear in the harem must be eunuchs.

In order to avoid cholera in the harem, and if the eunuch has no heirs, he will not easily have other ideas.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "If you don't need it, you don't need it. In the future, some people from the palace maids can be selected to practice martial arts. They can also be used. In addition, some people from the Jin Yiwei can also be selected for use."

Lu Chensheng had already thought about it, and there would be no need for this eunuch in the harem from now on.

Anyway, there is nothing good about using such people. It would be better to just abolish this system.
