Sheng Yuan sat in the guest house next to the concierge for nearly half an hour before a servant sent a message saying that Princess Yongping invited her in.
She responded with a smile, drank half the cup of tea in her hand, completely ignored the surprise in the servant's eyes, and asked him to lead the way with his eyes bent.
"...Cheng Shengsi, please come this way."
Sheng Yuan followed the servant diagonally behind him unhurriedly, his smart eyes scanning the scenery on both sides of the road freely.
As she walked, Sheng Yuan not only lamented that this imperial mansion, where two generations of princesses lived, could not be seen from a distance, but every brick and every tile here was filled with low-key luxury.
The crane walked leisurely along the path and stared at the fish pond; the deer lay on the grass and flowers, sometimes singing and sometimes in a daze.
The simple floor tiles reveal the vicissitudes of life, and the beams and columns made of famous trees sing the songs of the years under the light.
Along the way to Shengyuan, sometimes crossing the corridor, sometimes bypassing the jade bridge, sometimes passing the rockery, sometimes seeing the bamboo forest, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: Princess Yongping always meets guests in such a deep place? !
If Mo Cong, the minister of Dali Temple, had come and walked like this, he might have been beating a little drum in his heart.
But the visitor was Sheng Yuan, and she didn't think much about it other than muttering that the other party's rules for treating guests were a little weird.
This makes Princess Yongping's power seem a bit redundant.
The servant who led the way glanced at the Shengyuan Garden behind him and saw that the Yousi Cheng was not only showing no signs of anxiety or nervousness, but instead seemed to be leisurely sightseeing, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
Sheng Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. After seeing waves of peonies blooming, she couldn't help but ask: "This little brother, I'm looking at the clusters of peonies in the mansion. They are colorful and full of momentum." , it can be seen that there are many varieties, right?"
When the servant heard this, his eyes showed pride, and his body straightened unconsciously: "My princess loves peonies, so the house is full of peonies of various colors, and now there are more than ninety species!"
After he showed off, he asked Shengyuan: "Sir, look, although we only have one kind of flower, peony, it can be said to be a riot of flowers, colorful and colorful, right?!"
"Of course it's worthy!" Sheng Yuan nodded in approval, "Such a complete group of peonies also opened my eyes. Looking at the big peonies here, I understand why the predecessors used 'gorgeous' to describe it. It’s so elegant. It’s true that this place is filled with nobility and richness!”
Hearing Sheng Yuan's praise, he immediately raised his head proudly.
However, this pride did not last long, because they had arrived at the meeting place designated by Princess Yongping - a courtyard with a plaque that revealed a wanton and wild style.
"Tingzhuxuan" is its name.
After walking into Tingzhu Pavilion, the servant refused to take another step and only said: "You keep walking along this stone road. When you see the guest house, go in."
"???" Sheng Yuan looked at the servant in confusion. When he saw that the man had finished speaking, he stood by the courtyard gate with his hands tied, like a guard.
Helpless, Sheng Yuan raised her legs and walked forward.
Alas, I came here to talk about business, but it was like walking through a maze!
Sure enough, the salary is not easy to get!
Sheng Yuan, muttering silently, quickened his pace and soon saw the "Welcoming Guests Thatched Cottage" plaque written in cursive.
Sheng Yuan looked at the spacious house built with red bricks and gray tiles, and was curious as to why it became a thatched house. !
But this was not the time to think too much. After Sheng Yuan looked at the plaque, he picked up his official robe, crossed the threshold, and walked in.
She had just put down one foot, and before she could take in the surroundings, she heard a joke coming from her left: "Sheng Si Cheng, you made me wait so easily!"
