After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

The morning light shines into the room through the gauze bed curtains, casting mottled light and shadows.

Outside the window, the breeze blew the leaves outside the window, making a soft rustling sound.

Xiyu woke up in the morning scene with birds singing and flowers blooming. Her hands unconsciously groped around her, but the bed beside her was cold.

She slowly got up, dragging her belly, and rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hand. There was no one in the room.

Fourth Master, you didn’t come back last night?

She felt a little doubtful, but she clearly remembered that she did not sleep well at the beginning of last night. She fell asleep only after she smelled a familiar scent. It shouldn't be a dream.

Yesterday, the Emperor granted a day off, but no one knew where he had gone so early in the morning. Her pink lips were slightly pouted.

Chunshi kept his ears perked up at the door. When he heard the sound of someone getting up, he immediately tiptoed to open the door and looked towards the bed inside.

Seeing Xiyu sitting sleepily on the bed, she pushed the door open and spoke with a smile.

"Fujin, wake up! The chef in our palace kitchen has prepared wonton noodles for you. The wonton fillings are made with whole shrimps, with thin skin and thick meat. The fresh shrimp meat is smooth and sweet. The noodles are made with a secret method using bamboo noodles, which are chewy and transparent. Even the soup..."

I didn't have much of an appetite in the morning, but after she said that, my mouth started to drool automatically.

Xiyu half-closed her eyes and smiled, interrupting Chunshi, "When did you go to the kitchen to learn skills? You know so much about it. I can eat a cow alive after hearing what you said."

Chunshi asked someone to come in and help her wash, dress and put on makeup.

Xia Ying and her companions did more work, and their skills became more skilled, so they finished everything in just two quarters of an hour.

Xiyu became much more sober and followed his body's instinct to walk towards a familiar place, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, his footsteps stopped and he was stunned for a moment.

"Fujin? What's wrong?"

Harutoki's eyes were filled with concern.

Xiyu shook her head gently and blinked twice slowly.

I didn't feel anything much in the house just now, but when I left the house, this feeling became very obvious.

She went back into the room, looked around, then looked out the door. She finally felt the reality of leaving the Old Summer Palace and moving out of the palace.

From now on, she will have a world of her own.

Seeing that she was reluctant to move forward, Chun Shi suddenly seemed to understand something, "Does Fu Jin feel that this courtyard is strange and a little uncomfortable?"

"In fact, I am not used to it either. When I woke up in the morning, I walked towards a familiar place in a daze and almost bumped into the wall."

Xiyu came back to her senses and followed her to the dining room. "It is a bit uncomfortable, but I didn't feel anything in the room just now."

"Our prince not only loves you, but is also considerate. When he decorated the bedroom, he modified it according to the bedroom of the East Third Building, but the room area is larger than that of the East Third Building."

Xiyu was slightly stunned. This was the reason. She had just thought that the regulations were like this and that they were all designed according to a blueprint.

As soon as she sat down, the wonton noodles were served.

There are several kitchens in the palace, the largest of which is right next to Yaoxing Courtyard. If one is fast, the prepared meals can be delivered in less than half a quarter of an hour, so the wonton noodles are no different from freshly made ones when they are delivered.

She scooped a spoonful of the soup base, the mellow aroma was fragrant and the taste lingered between her lips and tongue. Just one sip and she knew that the soup was made with real ingredients, without any fakery.

Her appetite improved a bit, and she even ate half a bowl more.

After Xiyu finished her breakfast, she took the opportunity to be in a daze for a quarter of an hour.

After she came to her senses, she suddenly remembered that she had come in a hurry last night and had not yet seen the entire palace, so she stood up and walked slowly in the yard, just to digest her food.

The courtyard entered from the main gate of Yaoxingyuan was filled with various flowers, most of which were her favorite varieties, and some she had never seen before.

As Xiyu was strolling around, she suddenly remembered that Dongshuang mentioned yesterday that Li was ill, so she asked Chunshi to ask Doctor Zhao to see her, so that others would not say that she, as the mistress of the house, was harsh on her concubine.

"Fujin, good luck."

Gao Wuyong appeared out of nowhere and walked up to Xiyu to greet him.

"Please stand up, sir."

Xiyu felt the vigorous vitality of the plants in the courtyard.

"Fujin, when the Yaoxing Courtyard was built, I was the one who supervised the construction. The courtyards here were designed according to the Xunchang system, but the courtyard at the back is a secret place and is not usually exposed to the public."

"The yard at the back?"

Although this yard is big, it is also clearly visible. So where does the yard behind it come from?

Seeing the confusion in Xiyu's expression, Gao Wuyong led Xiyu to a very secluded corner in the yard. This place was a dead corner, and if it didn't need to be cleaned, no palace maids or eunuchs would come here normally.

In front of the two of them was an ordinary wall. He reached out and touched the edge of the water tank containing lotus flowers on the wall. With a click, a small door appeared on the wall that was big enough for people to pass through.

“There really is another courtyard.”

Xiyu walked in and looked around curiously.

This place is completely different from the yard you see as soon as you enter the door. There are many toys here for people to relax, such as swings, and there are also lush flowers, plants and trees of many kinds.

Gao Wuyong beside him introduced with a smile, "I know you like flowers and plants. This yard was specially designed by the Fourth Master. He read a lot of flora. There are many kinds of plants in the south, but most of them are difficult to adapt to the climate here, so he had to spend a lot of time and manpower to search in the mountains in the north and transplant them all here."

“So many of them were transplanted?”

This environment was very similar to where she grew up. Xiyu couldn't help but take two quick steps and go deeper into it.

Both the smell and the plant species were very familiar to her.

"There is a separate room over there, which is used to grow the most valuable flowers currently available on the market."

Gao Wuyong raised his hand and pointed at the small house leaning against the wall. This house was next to the bedroom, but one faced the front yard, and the other faced this yard that was infinitely close to the original dense forest.

Entering inside, there is a large space with various beautiful flowers growing there, neatly arranged according to categories. There is also a little palace maid watering the flowers.

Seeing someone coming in, she immediately bowed and saluted, "Madam, I am Qianjiao, the maid in charge of this flower room."

Xiyu asked her to stand up and placed her fingers on the flower closest to her. Its leaves trembled as if expressing joy.

There is a secret door in the greenhouse, leading directly to the warm room next door.

Xiyu returned to the front courtyard from the warm room and began to explore from the gate of Yaoxing Courtyard. Suddenly, she discovered the empty courtyard next door.

There is nothing in this yard except the built house.

"What does this do?"
