Secrets of Yuqing Palace

It was only when Yinreng held her little hand and assured her that he would not stop her from seeing her child in the future that Wanyu felt better.

The entire Eastern Palace was divided into distinct areas. The front half was the area for Crown Prince Yinreng and the princes.

The second half is the area for Crown Princess Wanyu and the little princesses.

The back half of the corridor on the west courtyard, the palace wall between the two palaces, and the east courtyard enclosure built against the wall were all demolished.

Since the old man separated Yuqing Palace and Jide Hall, he also removed the corridor that originally connected the two halls.

Therefore, a large area in the back half of the entire East Palace was left vacant.

The west courtyard only has the current Chengsu Hall, and the east courtyard only has Jide Hall and Houzhao Courtyard.

After discussion, the two decided to expand the garden in the backyard of Jide Hall.

The square in front of Chengsu Hall and the areas demolished in the east and west areas were all included in the garden.

Wanyu had a large pavilion built in the square in front of Chengsu Hall, and added rockery, flowing water, and various precious flowers and plants around it.

A large blank area was also left at the junction of the east and west courtyards, where a small playground for children could be built.

In addition to swings, there can be seesaws, slides, pitching pots, pinball machines, dart boards, balance beams, etc.

They are all fun, but they are also things that can be made with the craftsmanship of this era.

However, this is only in Wanyu's plan, and it will still take a lot of time to complete.

But it would still take two or three years for them to get pregnant and have a baby, so Wanyu was not in a hurry and could just make arrangements slowly.

After hearing this, Yinreng thought her idea was good, but it couldn't be all about playing. Otherwise, if Khan Ama knew about it, he would say that the children were losing their ambition due to playing, and he would also be dissatisfied with them as their fathers and mothers.

So he thought about it and decided to have someone set up a small martial arts training ground in front of Dunben Hall after they moved to the west courtyard.

The princes can practice Bu Ku, archery, etc. in the East Palace.

Khan Ama did not have high expectations for the little princesses, but he paid great attention to the training of the princes.

Yinreng thought that since the old man had closed down the Xiangxu Sect, there was no need for the Yangyao Sect to exist.

So the two decided to demolish the Yangyao Gate and expand the space in front. He planned to build a study here to be used for the prince's education in the future.

The area north of the Jiuqingfang, south of the Zhaigong Gate, east of the Renxiang Gate, and west of the Yangyao Gate is where the Prince's Zhanshi Mansion is located. On weekdays, the Zhanshi Mansion provides advice to the Prince and assists in his education.

The Prince's Secretaries assigned by the Emperor to Yinreng were all knowledgeable and talented people, and they also served as Yinreng's think tank.

So Yinreng planned to demolish the Yangyao Gate and build a study on the east side of the Zhanshi Mansion.

From then on, apart from himself and the Crown Princess, these chancellors and deputy chancellors would enlighten and teach the princes.

After the princes were able to go to the Shangshufang to study, if they encountered any academic problems, they could still have these ministers to help them solve their problems.

Because the entire East Palace was expanded and significantly modified, the arrangements of each palace are different.

The previous name of the temple is no longer appropriate, especially since the current main courtyard was originally the Zhai Palace, and the temple name plaques are all related to sacrifices.

After the two discussed it, they made some major changes.

Because the prince's eastern palace was named Yuqing Palace, the Zhai Palace in the main hall of the main courtyard was replaced with a plaque of Yuqing Palace.

The previous Zhaigong Gate was also replaced by Yuqing Gate.

In the future, the Eastern Palace will still be the Yuqing Palace, but the Yuqing Palace has become bigger and the main hall of the Eastern Palace has been moved to a new location.

The Chengsu Hall at the rear of the main courtyard was replaced by the Huaqing Hall, which is the palace of Crown Princess Guaerjia Wanyu.

The Dunben Hall in the front yard of the East Courtyard was not moved and was left for the eldest son of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to live in. This was the decision made by Emperor Kangxi.

The plaque of Yuqing Palace at the back was moved to the west courtyard, and was therefore replaced by Chengfu Hall.

The Jide Hall and Houzhao Courtyard in the backyard of the East Courtyard were where the little princesses lived in the future, so they were replaced by Yaohua Hall and Qiluan Courtyard.

The study next to the Zhanshi Mansion was named Jinmo Zhai.

After the expansion of Yuqing Palace was completed, Wanyu and Yinreng arranged for the palace servants to move things to the main courtyard on the west side.

During this period, Wanyu arranged for someone to take another inventory of the two people's warehouses, as well as the entire East Palace's Zhonggong warehouse.

After confirming that there were no problems, the warehouses were moved to the west side of the main courtyard, in an enclosure built behind the east side hall of Yuqing Palace, which was specifically used as a warehouse.

They also moved from the Dunben Hall in the East Courtyard to the main courtyard.

Yinreng lived in the main hall of the Yuqing Palace in front, while Wanyu lived in the rear hall which was renamed Huaqing Hall.

The expanded Yuqing Palace is now much larger, and since there are only two masters living there, it can be said to be extremely spacious.

The area occupied by the two people's residence is larger than the Jingren Palace and Yanxi Palace behind them combined.

Looking at the spacious and comfortable palace, although there were some minor regrets, the two were very satisfied.

After moving to the palace, Yinreng, at Wanyu's suggestion, invited all his brothers and sisters to Yuqing Palace to attend their housewarming celebration.

When Kangxi heard the news in the Qianqing Palace, he felt that Yinreng was friendly to his brothers and sisters, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to allocate more meat and vegetables to Yuqing Palace.

He also sent Liang Jiugong to personally deliver a large amount of rewards to the Eastern Palace.

The emperor sent someone to deliver the reward, and right after that, the reward from the empress dowager was also delivered to the Eastern Palace.

Seeing that the two big Buddhas in the palace were sent as rewards to the East Palace to congratulate the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on their new home, the concubines in the harem also sent some gifts.

Among them, Concubine Hesheli and those concubines who had princes and princesses received the most gifts.

In recent years, since the death of Yinzhen, Concubine Hesheli has been living in seclusion and rarely interacts with other concubines in the palace.

However, after the Crown Prince married, the Crown Princess would occasionally go to Chuxiu Palace to visit the Crown Prince's aunt and talk to her.

Therefore, Concubine Hesheli had a very good impression of the Crown Princess.

When I learned that my nephew and his wife were moving to an expanded East Palace, I had already prepared a housewarming gift.

So after learning that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had bestowed rewards, she couldn't wait to have the palace servants deliver the prepared gifts to Yuqing Palace.

Not only did the concubines send gifts, but the princes and princesses who came to Yuqing Palace to attend the housewarming banquet also prepared housewarming gifts before coming.

After everyone arrived, Yinreng took them to visit the new Yuqing Palace. Several princes and princesses were so envious that their eyes turned red.

Especially those brothers who are still young!

Khan's father was very fertile, and they could not live in their mother's palace, so there were cases where two brothers lived in the same courtyard.

Now they are just waiting for their eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother to move out and vacate the South Third House so that they can have a chance to occupy a yard to themselves.

However, the eldest prince Yinzhi, who was about to move out of the palace, the third prince Yinzhi, and the fourth prince Yinzhen were relatively calm.

Although they now live in the small courtyard of the South Third House, when they move out of the palace and move into their own mansion, it will be much larger than the Yuqing Palace, so they are not envious at all.

After the visit, Yinreng entertained his brothers with a meal in the front yard.

She herself received the first wife, the third wife and several princesses in the backyard.

The housewarming banquet was a great success for both the host and the guests, and Yinreng and Wanyu also gained a lot.

Even the eldest prince Yinzhi, who had always been at odds with Yinreng, did not confront Yinreng today.

His mansion outside the palace was much larger than the current East Palace.

And it was built according to his preferences, so he was not envious at all.

He even took the initiative to suggest that after he and his wife moved in, he would invite all his brothers to visit his mansion.

Yinzhi and Yinzhen also took the opportunity to extend their own invitations.
