[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

Wu Ning boasted about the clouds and smog on the lake, but he forgot about it and didn't take it seriously, but Yinzhen made an order to swim in the lake within a few days.

Although he used to go boating on the lake when he was still Prince Yong, but tonight is naturally very different.

The Long Live Lord drove around the lake, and the entire Old Summer Palace, from the guards outside to the imperial dining room inside, was all in motion, and patrols were strictly enforced along the Old Summer Palace.The docks and walls are kept spotless, and the windows are bright and clean.

The imperial dining room is even more like an enemy.

They have a specific boat, which is dedicated to follow behind the big boat of Long Live God. There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables, all neatly packed; in order to maintain the best taste, all dishes are freshly cooked.

The usual dishes are fine, but when you encounter some dishes that require extremely fine knife skills, such as micro-carved leaves on melons and fruits, and shaped flowers on sweet dessert bowls, it is a test of the skills of the masters-the boat is in the middle of the lake, You can't tell when there will be some bumps.

Sending a broken melon fruit flower to Long Live God?That would be disrespectful!

The imperial dining room burns lamps all night to practice kung fu.

After all the arrangements were made, Wu Ning was escorted to the royal boat.She was first rowed by the little eunuch on the wharf in Chunseli, Wuling along the Taohuaxi to the wharf of Wanfang Anhe, and after walking for a while, she boarded the boat from the other end of Wanfang Anhe.

In order to match the identity of the emperor, the top of the painted boat’s hatch was carved like a palace’s, resplendent and resplendent. There are golden hooks hanging on both sides of the middle cabin, and bright yellow dragon-patterned curtains are hung.On the mast of the bow, a dragon flag is hung high, and the dragon scales are shining golden.

After entering the cabin, Wu Ning was even more speechless when he saw the furnishings inside: there was a small six-panel screen in the cabin, the back was for people to lie down and change clothes, and there was a low couch in front of the screen. You can half lie down and half lean on, all of which are covered with bright yellow brocade cushions, and there are four other armchairs on the side, which are naturally used by people other than the emperor.

Yinzhen led Wu Ning to sit on the low couch, this was a rare pastime outside of his busy government affairs, and he was in great spirits.He shook Wu Ning's hand, and when he saw that she was sitting firmly, he ordered Su Peisheng to sail the boat. Walking on the surface of the mirror-like lake, the breeze was blowing slowly, and the water waves were calm. Yinzhen pointed to the east bank in the distance and said: "That's Mizuki Mingse.".

Wu Ning looked in the direction he was pointing at, and felt quite familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he blurted out: "Isn't that Geng Zhi Xuan?" Yin Zhen smiled and said: "That's right, but I changed the name to it." He blurted out and chanted: "There is a guest pavilion on the pool, catalpa trees on the left and right, pitching against the sun, eyes on fish and birds, and clear water and trees. It can be described as the nature of Haoliang, and I have nothing to violate." The words are very yearning.

At this time, the lake was sunny and the fish were jumping on the water. Wu Ning couldn't help but opened the curtain and looked to the other side. Yin Zhen continued to point it out to her in a good mood, saying: "The farmhouse over there is 'Dan Bo'. Tranquility', the one next to it is 'Yingshui Lanxiang'...".

Several places are not far apart, there are many rice fields, and there is a sense of paddy fields and farming. Wu Ning leaned against the window and listened to him pointing out everywhere. Suddenly, he felt as if he had crossed into the Grand View Garden in the Dream of Red Mansions...

The painting boat on which the emperor took was followed by five small boats, the imperial dining room, the imperial tea room, the imperial pharmacy, and one dedicated to carrying the personal servants of the masters for calling at any time. It is convenient for the masters to prepare; in addition, there is a small boat in front of the boat, which is responsible for clearing the way.

The boat passed a large area of ​​lotus leaves, and the oars rattled under the water. The green lotus leaves on both sides hit the boards of the painting boat, and for a while it was reflected through the thin window screens. The room was full of green, and the lotus flowers had passed It was the season when it was in full bloom, and it showed a somewhat decadent appearance. Seeing many lotus pods in the water, Wu Ning asked Yinzhen to pick them. Not long after, the lotus pods arrived, and the lotus hearts were extremely bitter. Wu Ning Ning peeled a few and ate them, and put them down with a bitter face. Yinzhen took one in her hand, chewed it a few times, shook his head and said, "You can eat it!", and called someone to clean up the rest of the lotus pods. Send it to the ship of the royal tea room and make tea.Not long after, the court lady brought two cups of Qingxin lotus seed tea, which were placed in enamel multicolored four-season flower bowls, and they were specially chilled, and dense water droplets condensed on the sides of the bowls.

This lotus seed tea is actually a herbal tea. It is made by decocting lotus seeds, scutellaria baicalensis, Ophiopogon japonicus, Digupi, and plantain seed, adding a little rock sugar to clear the heart fire and remove dampness and heat.There was no bitter taste of lotus heart, Wu Ning drank a few sips, fearing that she would be greedy for cold, Yin Zhen took the tea cup from her hand and drank it himself.

Seeing the boat leisurely passing by Ritianlinzi and Zibi Mountain House, Wu Ning suddenly heard the sound of a bell ringing, the sound was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it, so he couldn't help asking Yinzhen: : "Your Majesty, is that...?".

Yinzhen put down the teacup, pointed out the window, and asked her back: "Did Concubine Ning hear this bell when she was in Jiuzhou Qingyan?".

Wu Ning suddenly realized, looked up, and saw that she had already arrived at the area of ​​Qingyan in Jiuzhou, the bell was ringing louder and louder, she counted the number of ringing times in her heart, matching the time at this time, it turned out to be a self-ringing bell.

Such a loud sound, how big a chime bell does it need?

Yinzhen seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, raised his hand and opened the curtain and said, "Stop the boat."

The boat stopped leisurely, and the eunuchs quickly set up a ferry on the pier. Wu Ning followed Yinzhen ashore, and when he looked up, he saw a large temple garden. In the garden, several mages came out to welcome the emperor. Ning sees the bamboo shadows whirling in the garden, and listens to Zen music, and feels that he has entered another cool world. On the main hall, there are four big characters "Compassionate Clouds and Universal Protection". Zhang Gao's self-sounding bell tower, the bell that was heard just now comes from here, and it is used to remind Yinzhen to get up early to manage politics.

The ringing of the bell tower is done by ticking the clock.The so-called clocks and clocks are a set of copper pots with perforated bottoms and buoys in them for timing, which can be driven by mechanical devices to tell the time.

A group of people wandered around Ciyun Puhu for a long time before returning to Huafa, but now it was already lunch time, and the boat sailed leisurely to a cool and shaded place, in the shadow of green poplars, before throwing it off the bow The iron anchors under the nacelle at the stern had already been fixed, and the anchors were sunk to the bottom of the water to fix the ship.

On the small boat where the imperial dining room is located, all the ingredients have been chopped and watered, and they are ready. When the Lord Long Live sends out a decree to pass on the meals, the small boat and the big boat will be connected by seesaws. The eunuchs stand in a row and pour the dishes into the water. Generally sent over.

The small boat from the imperial tea room also gathered quickly. The boat from the imperial dining room was in charge of serving the dishes, and they were responsible for unloading them. There were not many people on board, so it was even more important to ensure efficiency and speed. A row of people stood in an orderly and silent manner.

The two of them raised their chopsticks to eat, and only heard the second curtain of crystal beads and jade hanging in front of the cabin, which was blown by the wind and jingled. Send someone to do it, and put it on your whole jade hall." Wu Ning didn't mean that, but she knew Yinzhen's temper, so she put down her chopsticks, stood up and saluted: "Concubine, thank the emperor for your kindness.", Yinzhen He glanced at her, nodded and said, "Sit down, you don't need to be polite on the boat.".

Wu Ning got up and sat back at the table, suddenly there was a thunder in mid-air, the sky suddenly darkened, and he felt the dark clouds rolled over, the waves on the lake were blowing up, and they poured straight into the cabin, only to make a mess at the bottom of the bead curtain. Suddenly, Wu Ning was sitting by the window, when a big bolt of lightning struck, almost right in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but instinctively hid in the cabin.Yinzhen supported her from behind, sighed: "God is not beautiful, go back." Then he ordered to go back to Wanfang for peace.

Halfway through the boat, the raindrops fell with a crackling sound. The cabin roof was made of wood, and the sound of the water hitting it was dull and muffled. Although the raindrops were large at first, they were still sparse. , Both of them raised their voices when they were talking, half of the green screen was wet, and they were lying on the wooden window frame. Looking out from the window, they saw the lake was full of misty rain and clouds and smoke.

Yinzhen pointed with a smile and said, "I wanted you to see the beautiful scenery of steaming clouds and smoke on the lake, so it's barely worth it!" After a while, the boat arrived at the wharf of Wanfang Anhe, and the eunuchs held oil-paper umbrellas to cover the emperor. Went to the pier with Concubine Ning, Wu Ning paused at the fence, turned around and saw that the water and sky on the lake were chaotic, and the outlines of the boats in the imperial tea house and imperial pharmacy were hidden in the distance, and they could not be seen clearly. The green and blue colors are emerald and thick.

Yinzhen shook her hand and said: "Let's go." Then Wu Ning looked away and followed Yinzhen for a few steps, thinking that today is already the second day of July, he casually said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it will be a few days It's Qiqiao Festival, with such a heavy rain, I'm afraid Cowherd and Weaver Girl will shed tears first."

Seeing the drops of water on her face, which ran down her cheeks and slipped into her collar, Xu Zhen raised his hand to wipe it off for her, and said, "I will definitely spend as much time as possible to accompany you that day. ", Wu Ning shook his hand, shook his head lightly and said: "The emperor is in the world, and he is busy with government affairs. Today, he can still remember his concubine like this. The concubine is already satisfied. If the emperor is really free, the concubine would rather the emperor be here." Take a good night's sleep in Jiuzhou Qingyan's bedroom to recuperate the dragon's body."

Seeing the earnest look in her eyes, the faint worry in her brows, and her sincerity, Yin Zhen moved slightly in her heart, and instead held Wu Ning's hand, she said, "I heard that Concubine Ning is right."
