Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Yunyuan——

Concubine Yun returned to Yun Garden with the help of her maid Miao'er. Along the way, Zhen Luo kept comforting Fang Jiawei, because Fang Jiawei's father was a low-ranking official. To put it nicely, her family's life was only slightly better than that of ordinary people, so her family had neither money nor power. She was already very nervous about entering the palace to attend the palace banquet today, and she had never met someone as noble as the concubine.

Zhen Luo held her hand, which made her feel a little relieved. But even Zhen Luo, who was spoiled by her family, was shocked when she entered Yunyuan.

Although I had heard that Yunyuan was built by the emperor at the cost of a large amount of precious treasures, I was still shocked when I saw it with my own eyes.

In fact, there is nothing special about the architectural structure of Yunyuan. There is a two-story attic in the middle, surrounded by small bridges and flowing water. There are schools of fish playing in the stream and clusters of flowers on the shore. From a distance, it looks like a landscape painting.

But the afternoon sun shone directly on the attic, as if it was penetrated. Zhen Luo had a question in his mind: if the sun could shine directly in, wouldn't it be hot in the summer? Wouldn't it be dazzling to read in there?

At this time, the maid Miao'er seemed to have guessed her thoughts and explained to her.

"The attic of Yunyuan is made of two kinds of jade. One is warm jade, which is mainly used for the attic on the second floor. The attic on the second floor is mainly divided into two parts, where the queen sleeps and where she reads. Usually in winter, the queen will live on the second floor. After a whole day of sunlight, even at night, the room is warm, and there is no need to light so many charcoal fires.

The cool jade is mainly used on the first floor. As long as there is wind, the cool jade can quickly lower the temperature, so the Summer Queen lives on the first floor. "

That's it!

Zhen Luo and Fang Jiawei nodded together, seeming to understand. But Concubine Yun, who was walking in front, turned around.

"Although the outside world has always said that it is made of jade, it is actually not that exaggerated. It is just a layer of jade on the outside of the attic. If you remove that layer of jade, the rest of the material is no different from that of an ordinary palace."

After a pause, she continued.

"To put it bluntly, it's just boasting to the outside world that it's built with jade, but in reality it's just a new skin."

This... Zhen Luo and Fang Jiawei looked at each other. Judging from Concubine Yun's tone, she seemed to have some opinions about the emperor. The two lowered their heads and no one spoke.

Concubine Yun glanced at the two of them.

"Come in~"

The two followed Concubine Yun into the attic. Indeed, the layout inside was no different from that of an ordinary palace, but the furnishings everywhere were truly extraordinary. For example, the fine red sandalwood chair in the corner, the extremely rare clay inkstone on the table, the brocade screen inlaid with gold in the middle, etc...

Zhen Luo was stunned, let alone Fang Jiawei, who didn't even dare to go inside.

"Miao'er, take them to the small warehouse to pick some. If there's anything they like, they can take it."

After Concubine Yun finished speaking, she lay down on her rocking chair, but her eyes were still looking at them.

"Yes, Madam~"

The three of them entered the warehouse, and Miaoer showed them the rows of shelves. Fang Jiawei only knew that Concubine Yun had many rare treasures, so many that she couldn't see them all. But when Zhen Luo saw it, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that the emperor might have moved the national treasury to Concubine Yun's place!

"Take your time to choose, don't rush~"

Miaoer said kindly from the side.

Fang Jiawei really couldn't see it all. There were many that she had no idea what materials they were made of. She didn't dare to take those that looked too expensive, nor did she dare to take those that were too big. In the end, she just picked out a pearl hairpin that looked relatively ordinary here.

Zhen Luo looked for a long time. Although there were many rare treasures here, it seemed that nothing she needed was there.

After about an incense stick of time, the three people retreated.

Concubine Yun glanced at the pearl hairpin in Fang Jiawei's hand. It was very plain, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked.

"Why did you choose this one?"

Fang Jiawei didn't know how to answer, but Concubine Yun didn't give her a chance to speak.

"You are in your prime, don't wear dull clothes all day. You are not my age, so you should wear something brighter. Miao'er, go get the red and gold butterfly headpiece from the warehouse."

"Yes~"

After a while, Miaoer brought out a box of medium size from the warehouse. When she opened it, she found it was a complete set of seven head ornaments.

"Look, do you like it?"

When Fang Jiawei saw this, she became nervous and immediately knelt down.

"My lady, I like it very much, but, but..."

"If you like it, then you like it. This is a gift from me. Just take it and get up quickly~"

Miao'er on the side also agreed.

"Miss Fang, you are kneeling down now, just kowtow to thank the imperial concubine for the reward~"

Fang Jiawei still couldn't believe it. She looked at Miao'er and blinked. It was not until Miao'er put the box in her hands that she believed it was true.

"Thank you, Madam Imperial Concubine~"

"Well, good boy. Next time you come to the palace, you must dress well to see me."

"I will remember this!"

Concubine Yun looked at Zhen Luo's hands again, and they were empty.

"You must have inherited your mother's temperament."

Concubine Yun spoke directly, which made Zhen Luo confused.

"Does the Imperial Concubine know my mother?"

"I met your mother once many years ago. At that time, she was not yet a 15-year-old, but she was already heroic and heroic."

When Zhen Luo heard the imperial concubine say this, she couldn't help but grin.

"My mother would be very happy if she heard the Imperial Concubine's praise."

"Ha, you have picked up some of your father's official language."

Zhen Luo scratched his head awkwardly.

"Forget it~ I won't tease you anymore. Miao'er, go get my treasure."

As soon as Concubine Yun finished speaking, Zhen Luo and Fang Jiawei could not help but wonder. Treasure? There were so many treasures in the warehouse, which one was Concubine Yun referring to?

But Miao'er did not go to the warehouse, but walked to Concubine Yun's bed, lifted the gauze curtain on the inner wall of the bed, and saw a sword hanging on the wall. The scabbard and hilt were snow-white, and a red gem was inlaid near the hilt.

Miaoer took it down and brought it to Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun drew out her sword and casually made a sword flower in the air, and the sound of the air splitting could be heard.

It’s really a good sword!

Zhen Luo's heart trembled slightly when he heard the sound of the sword sweeping past.

Concubine Yun put the sword back into the scabbard and signaled Miao'er to bring the sword to Zhen Luo. When she looked closer, Zhen Luo realized that although the scabbard was snow-white, it was actually engraved with a cloud pattern, but it was not visible from a distance. On the end near the hilt, one side was inlaid with gems, and the other side was engraved with the name of the sword - Floating Cloud.

"Floating, cloud."

Zhen Luo couldn't help but whispered, while Concubine Yun said with a smile.

"Try?"

Zhen Luo looked up and met Concubine Yun's expectant gaze. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and swung it a few times, scaring Fang Jiawei beside him so much that she quickly took a few steps back, which made Concubine Yun laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay! Let's put it away so as not to scare the girl from the Fang family."

Zhen Luo closed the sword and was about to hand it back to Miao'er, but Concubine Yun stopped him.

"This sword is for you."

Zhen Luo was stunned. Just by looking at the casting, one could tell that the sword was not an ordinary one. Concubine Yun also hung it inside where outsiders could not see it. This sword must be very precious to her.

"This sword is your Majesty's favorite thing, I cannot accept it."

"I'll give it to you if I say so. I don't have any use for this sword now. As for you, it's all thanks to your mother. I hope you can be like her when she was young, not being bound by worldly rules and having a chivalrous heart."
