Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Some people say that every inch of land in the imperial city is valuable, and that is indeed true. There is some land in the imperial city that can indeed be paved with gold bricks to cover the same area.

    But the most expensive land in the imperial city, apart from the priceless palace, is the Anji District.  This piece of land is the most precious of all. Countless wealthy businessmen want to claim a seat in it, but they still lack some power.

    "Yes, the people living here are all the most powerful people in the current dynasty. If you are not careful here, you may knock down a high-ranking official, and you may be imprisoned.

    "Zhao Mansion, two stone lions stand at the door to ward off evil spirits, lanterns are hung high on the door, the courtyard of the mansion is exquisite, the bridge is long, and the strange stone arches all reveal the wealth of this family.

    But I saw the maids from the mansion walking through, and saw the master of the mansion getting dressed in a wing with red sandalwood windows. I saw that the master of the Zhao mansion was just middle-aged, with a little white hair, but he still showed his youth.  The handsomeness of the time.

    "Master, it's almost time!" An old man who looked like a butler was waiting at the side.

    "Well, let's go and inform the lady that we are about to set off!" Mr. Zhao straightened his hair and looked like a civil servant.

    "Miss is already ready and has been waiting in the room for a long time!"

    "Every time he enters the palace, he is more active than me. It's true that women are not allowed to stay, alas!" Mr. Zhao shook his head, but he felt relieved.

    The sedan bearers in the mansion were already waiting, but they saw that the master of the Zhao family had arrived, and the young lady of the Zhao family was also specially dressed to look very beautiful, with a green dress and white pearl earrings, which made people feel particularly fresh.

    "Xian'er greets daddy!" Zhao Xian'er solemnly saluted her father.

    Mr. Zhao stroked his black beard, which was not very long, nodded and said: "Xian'er, every time you enter the palace, you are more active than dad. Dad almost feels that he is not an important minister in the court, but you are!"

    Zhao Xian'er's face turned slightly red and she said, "It seems that Daddy doesn't like Xian'er coming to the palace with you, so Xian'er won't go!"

    "Oh, then you can go with your mother to burn incense later. Dad can go alone!"

    "Daddy, you" Zhao Xian'er was ashamed, anxious and angry.

    "Okay, okay, I want to see the third prince again. Looking at you like this, I don't know how long dad can stay!" Mr. Zhao smiled and pointed Zhao Xian'er with his index finger.

    "No way, Xian'er just wants to go into the palace and have fun. It won't be so boring for dad to go into the palace alone!"

    "That's really my good and filial daughter, good. Just think of it as making dad less boring!" When Mr. Zhao saw his daughter, he was very arrogant.  He smiled helplessly.

    The sedan chair has already set off from Zhao Mansion to the palace.

    The Imperial Palace is the core building complex of the entire imperial city and the vast empire.  Wealthy and powerful, the center of power in the world, the place where the emperor lives, and the place where hundreds of officials worship.

    I saw that the palace wall was more than ten feet high.  Not inferior to the walls of the imperial city at all.  The gates of the city are strictly guarded by the imperial guards. All the officials and people inside and outside the palace have badges or passes to enter. There is no exception for anyone, not even the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

    This is the Forbidden Palace City, the residence of the royal family. The sedan chair of the Zhao family has entered the Forbidden Palace City, and the sedan has arrived at the Inner Palace City.  After walking for an hour, it can be seen that the forbidden palace city is astonishing.

    The inner palace city is where the emperor lives and where the harem is located.  It contains the House of Internal Affairs, the Royal Guards, the Imperial Kitchen, and the Prince's Palace.  There are a large group of buildings such as the Concubine Hall and so on.

    Today, Mr. Zhao came to visit the Empress Dowager as invited.  Eight years ago, the Zhao family master was the top scholar in Jinke. After high school, he brought his whole family to the Imperial City. From then on, he had a smooth career as a scholar, and he has been sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

    The master of the Zhao family, Zhao Ziling, was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager because of his profound knowledge, and Zhao Ziling's daughter Zhao Xian'er was even more popular with the Empress Dowager. From the first time she was brought to the emperor as a child, Zhao Xian'er has shown to be an extraordinary talent.  It seems that Zhao Xian'er inherited Zhao Ziling's talents in talent and learning. At the age of ten, Zhao Xian'er was already able to compete with the civil servants of the dynasty in reciting poems, and even beat several former top scholars in the academic field. Her talents astonished both the government and the public.

    At first, the Empress Dowager liked to summon Zhao Ziling, and specially told Zhao Ziling to bring Xian'er with her. After this back and forth, Zhao Xian'er gradually grew up. Under the deliberate arrangement of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xian'er was in the palace.  I met the third prince by chance. The talent and learning of this third prince were comparable to that of Zhao Xian'er. After the two competed, the third prince finally won. From then on, Zhao Xian'er has always appreciated the talent and learning of the third prince, and even more appreciated the worry of the third prince.  The feeling of caring about the country and its people.

    Therefore, Zhao Xianer has hoped to assist the third prince since she was a child.  The third prince also has that affection for Xian'er, but the two of them have never revealed it, but many people know it. Even Zhao Ziling sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart. He admires or is satisfied with this third prince.  Son-in-law, a prince of the royal family, well-educated, good-natured, full of talent, and responsible for the world.  It seems that all this is taken for granted. Zhao Xianer often follows her father into theIn the palace, I met the three princes, exchanged poems, and talked about the world.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off

    In the inner palace, the scenery is picturesque, with endless lakes and ponds. The most skilled craftsmen in the world have created this wonder in the world.  Zhao Xian'er's sedan has landed in front of the third prince's palace. Zhao Xian'er stepped out of the sedan gracefully. At this time, the eunuch at the door saw Zhao Xian'er, as if he saw an acquaintance, and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard.  : "Miss Xian'er is here, Prince, Miss Xian'er is here!"

    However, the sound disappeared in the palace for a while, and then the third prince came to the door of the palace. He was wearing snow-white clothes with gold trim. He was not only outstanding in talent and learning, but also one of the most handsome men in the world.  The third prince stood at the door. When he saw Zhao Xian'er getting off the sedan, he greeted her respectfully and said, "I don't know that Miss Xian'er is here, but I am not welcoming her from afar. I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"

    Zhao Xian'er smiled and said: "The third prince is so polite. Xian'er is here with dad today to pay a visit to the third prince. I am taking the liberty of disturbing him!"

    "Why are you so presumptuous? I wish you all the best. As soon as Miss Xian'er arrives, my humble abode suddenly shines. Come on, please come inside first and have a taste of the new Yunwu tea that I asked someone to find recently!" The third prince said politely.  Made a gesture of invitation.

    Zhao Xian'er nodded slightly and moved into the palace with lotus steps. Her meeting with the three princes was not for a day or two, nor for a year or two. There was no need for too much etiquette.

    The palace still looks so familiar. The porcelain that the third prince likes and the autographed paintings she gave are hanging in the most conspicuous places.  ````````
