Chapter 30 Weiyang Palace
Murong Mansion and Tianfu City are almost next to each other. Back then, the emperor specially selected this treasure land outside the imperial city to build a mansion for Shen Yihan, just so that he could see the eldest princess often. Moreover, the back of Murong Mansion happened to face Changle Palace, so
It is the residence of the Queen Mother, and was also the palace where Shen Yihan lived when he was a child. After leaving Murong Mansion, turn left, go to the end and then turn left to reach the main entrance of Tianfu City - Xuanping Gate. Through the towering gate
At a glance, they are all pavilions and buildings, which are very grand. Walking up the stairs of Xuanpingmen, you can see a particularly towering building complex at the end of the road, with three huge gilded characters hanging faintly in front of the temple -
—Weiyang Palace, taken from, praying for long life, happy Weiyang.
Yun Guan followed Shen Yihan through the front hall of Weiyang Palace. The splendid palace was so dazzling that she frowned slightly. She walked through the front hall and walked to the left. At the end of the wide courtyard was the Yongyan Hall where Concubine Xuan often lived. She had just arrived.
I met Eunuch Su in Yongyan Hall, as if he and his party were waiting here specially.
"Eunuch Su, what a coincidence!" Shen Yihan looked at Eunuch Su with a smile. This Su Rui was an old man in the palace. He had been favored by the emperor for many years and was unparalleled.
"The eldest princess, wealth is still young, and health and happiness are everlasting." Eunuch Su was particularly kind to the eldest princess, because when he first entered the palace, he worked under Concubine Xuan and received her favor.
"Eunuch Su, is my mother-in-law feeling better? Thank you for taking care of Yongyan Palace." Shen Yihan knew that Eunuch Su always spoke well for Concubine Xuan in front of the emperor. Her mother-in-law was ill recently, and Eunuch Su was even more attentive.
The place is very crowded, so I always come to ask for help.
"Princess, you are welcome. This is what a slave should do. Concubine Xuan is much better. She has just finished using the tonic and has fallen asleep." Eunuch Su gave Concubine Xuan the tonic given by the emperor and accepted it. He could have sent the medicinal materials directly to Yongyan.
However, Eunuch Su respected Concubine Xuan very much and was afraid that the medicinal effect would be lost if the cooking procedure was not correct, so he oversaw the workman An Yutang and prepared the multi-flavored red ginseng soup for seven hours and personally delivered it to Concubine Xuan to drink.
He never forgets his roots. Although Eunuch Su is a loyal servant of the emperor, he pays great attention to maintaining and balancing the relationship between the concubines and the emperor. Among them, he cares most about Concubine Xuan. He does not want to be caught among his masters and suffer, so he tries his best to
He worked hard to reconcile and navigated the complicated relationships in the harem, which caused the emperor a lot of worries.
"Eunuch Su is interested. Does your father-in-law remember this girl?" Shen Yihan dragged Yun Wan over. He had been chatting with Eunuch Su and forgot to introduce the distinguished guest.
"This girl looks familiar. I wonder if she is the daughter of a noble official? She was born so pretty and beautiful." Mr. Su was wondering where Shen Yihan found this beauty. There has been no newcomer in the palace for a long time, which is rare.
How could he be so well received by the eldest princess?
"Sister Yun Wan, didn't you say that you had a relationship with Eunuch Su?" Shen Yihan joked.
"Eunuch Su is very troubled at times, and you are busy with things." Yun Wan was afraid that Eunuch Su would be embarrassed, so she quickly explained.
"Could this be Duanmu... Yun Wan... Oh, no, no, it's Princess Duanyi!" Eunuch Su really couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the plain-clothed girl he had seen in Wuchuan. She was timid and haggard then and now.
They were completely different, and he never expected to see Yun Wan again in the palace.
"My father-in-law has forgotten my sister Yun Wan after we haven't seen her for a few months. Alas~" Shen Yihan didn't know what Yun Wan's appearance and situation were like before.
"Princess, please forgive me for my blindness and old age. Please forgive me, Princess Duanyi." Eunuch Su immediately admitted his mistake to avoid being delayed for too long. He hurriedly returned to Xuande Hall to wait, fearing that the emperor would have trouble with him.
"Eunuch Su, please take Yun Wan to visit my father. If you have time, take her to get acquainted with her in the palace, so as not to get lost next time." Shen Yihan was afraid of disturbing Concubine Xuan's rest, so she wanted Eunuch Su to go first.
When taking Yun Wan to see her father, she should thank Long En first, "Sister, I will be back soon, and my mother and concubine will wake up."
"Well, don't worry, eldest princess. Princess Duanyi, please follow me this way and be careful of the steps." Eunuch Su was still observing Yun Wan secretly. Although his eyebrows and eyes were similar to before, his temperament and expression were completely different then. No wonder Yun Wan
Shen Yihan has never liked to have too much contact with other princesses. He usually gets together with the princes. The eldest sister calls a princess short, and Eunuch Su is really a headache.
See you later.
"Sister, I'll go over first and come back later to say hello to Concubine Xuan." After Yun Wan said goodbye to Shen Yihan, she pulled Xue Qing to follow Eunuch Su, passing through the Shou'an Hall, the Tongguang Terrace, and the cool scenery along the way.
We finally came to Xuande Hall. Although this hall is built with the same materials as Yongyan Hall and Shou'an Hall, with noble magnolia and carved apricot wood as the skeleton, the entire hall looks like a noble palace from a distance.
The scroll, with its gold foil on the rafters, gold pattern on the door, and various gold-rimmed jade ornaments and precious stones inlaid on the window panes and walkways, highlights the unique luxury of the imperial palace.
