Your Majesty Cheng Huan

During the whole day, Li Chenghuan stayed in Chu Xiuyuan's room and didn't leave half a step. Naturally, he didn't know what happened at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, but in the evening, someone knocked on the door of their room suddenly, and saw a little maid Standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile on his face, he asked softly, "Are you Miss Li Dexian?"

Li Chenghuan nodded, and heard the maid say: "Miss Wang asked me to take you to the Banyue Corridor."

"Half-moon corridor?" Li Chenghuan has been in the palace for so many days, so he naturally knows where the half-moon corridor is.

There are four palaces commonly known as "spring, summer, autumn and winter" in the Daxia Palace, because these four palaces have special scenery in one of the four seasons of spring, summer, spring and winter, so there is a saying.The so-called Lotus Appreciation Banquet held by the emperor this time is in the famous "Summer Palace" Bicui Pavilion, and this half-moon corridor is commonly known as "Autumn Palace". Mei Palace - These four palaces were the residences of the harem concubines until the reign of Emperor Xia De.It was only in the first emperor's reign that the harem was deserted and the four palaces gradually fell into disuse, and it was not until the past ten years, when the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, and the imperial treasury was full, that the queen mother issued a decree to rebuild the four palaces.Today, Emperor Jing has not conferred concubines into concubines, and the Fourth Palace is only a place for banquets and entertainment for the palace people.

"Isn't the Lotus Appreciation Banquet held at the Bicui Pavilion?"

The maid covered her lips and smiled lightly, and said: "Girl, at this hour, the lotus appreciation banquet is already over. Miss Wang invited you, not for the lotus appreciation."

Li Chenghuan dubiously followed her to the Banyue Corridor. The carved windows, winding corridors, carved beams and painted buildings, and stone-carved screen walls that he saw all had a special beauty of thinness and desolation. At that time, if people drink together, eat wine and enjoy the moon, and silk and bamboo are in harmony, they will definitely live up to the beauty of this good day.

When they reached a waterside pavilion called Huxin Pavilion in the garden, the court lady stopped, but she looked around, but she still couldn't see Wang Wuguo.The garden is lonely, only the sound of cicadas chirping can be heard, and occasionally the sound of splashing fish jumping out of the water can be heard.

"Where is Miss Wang?"

The maid smiled slightly, lowered her head and said: "Miss Wang has to come back later, Miss Li, please rest here for a while, I will ask someone to go and see again, I think Miss Wang is already on her way."

The palace maid then stepped back, Li Chenghuan sat down on the bench by the pavilion, let the breeze blow for a while, and didn't think clearly why Wang Wuguo asked him to come here.This woman doesn't give way to her husband, she doesn't want to compete for favor in the harem, and she doesn't bother to use this method to harm him, but, what can't be said in the room, why do you have to come here?Is it really just for sitting and chatting?What can she say to him?

The wind blowing from the center of the lake was a bit intoxicating, with a little dampness. After sitting for a while, he felt that his clothes were a little sticky and stuck to his body, and his hair felt wet.Just as he was thinking about whether Wang Wuguo would not come, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps not far away. Without thinking too much, he stood up and went to meet her.

"Why did you come here? I..."

The visitor showed his face from the shadows, and with the light of the lanterns around the pavilion and the palace lantern in the visitor's hand, he could see it more clearly, so he fell silent all of a sudden.

The wind blows the curtains of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, dancing tenderly, and the two people in the pavilion are relatively silent.Emperor Jing looked at the man in front of him, and was a little absent-minded for a moment.Just had a few drinks, did you get drunk?

Li Chenghuan, who realized his recklessness, quickly apologized and said: "The night is dark, I admitted the wrong person just now, I'm rude."

Emperor Jing calmed down and asked casually, "Are you waiting for someone here?"

"Ah, yes."

"Looking at you, you must have been waiting for a while. The Half Moon Corridor will be closed at this point. The person you are waiting for may not come."

Li Chenghuan frowned and looked at the silent lake, and said, "I think so too." What kind of tricks is this Wang Wuguo playing?

"There are few people in this place, the lights are dim, and the roads are difficult to walk. I..." He originally wanted to say "I'll send someone to take you back", but then he realized that he was alone at this moment, and no one who served him brought him with him. , so he raised the lantern on the handle, and changed his words, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"That's it, thank you."

Li Chenghuan didn't quite remember the way he came here, it was too dark and he couldn't tell the direction, so he followed this person in a detour.

After passing through a door, Emperor Jing stopped and asked him: "Which palace are you from? Sisi's words are ahead. If it is Liufang, I will send you another section."

The Daxia Imperial Palace has four divisions and six workshops, all of whom are female officials, or maids of various ranks. It seems that this person thought he was a palace servant in this palace.

"I live in Chuxiu Court."

The author has something to say:

Anyone who has read the Tale of Genji should know the Four Palaces in the Daxia Palace. It’s just a name. That’s it.
