However, the two of them did not stay in Cuiwei Palace for long.
After a general visit, Jiang Lingxi realized that she had made a mistake.
The box that was found before was kept in a hidden location, so it was not discovered until this thousand years later.
After her, several emperors ascended the throne in the Yinhe Palace, and several queens also lived in the corresponding Cuiwei Palace. All traces of their predecessors' lives have long been erased.
Until now, this familiar and solid building is all that remains.
After coming out of Cuiwei Palace, the two of them boarded the balance car again. Jiang Lingxi also recovered her mood. She was about to say that she would go to Anping Palace, which was nearby, but when she spoke, she thought that this was her first time here. Visitors, it was not good to act too familiar, so they changed their words hastily: "Consultant Shen, where should we go next?"
Shen Yunqing knew from the direction Jiang Lingxi was looking at where she wanted to go next, so she replied: "This is the closest place to Anping Hall where Princess Jin'an lived during the Yuanzhao period. Why don't you go there first?"
Jiang Lingxi was stunned when she pushed open the vermilion door and saw the furnishings in the palace.
Without him, it wouldn't look like anyone had ever lived here.
Shen Yunqing's voice sounded behind her at the right time, "Since the Yuan Zhao Year, this Anping Hall has been converted into a royal library, and no one has lived in it since then."
Jiang Lingxi reached out and touched the exceptionally well-preserved books on the bookshelf in front of her. "I read historical records that Princess Jin'an loved reading books most when she was alive. If she could see the books preserved in the palace where she lived, So many books, it should be a pleasure.”
Shen Yunqing naturally knew that her feelings for Princess Jin'an, a young girl, were extraordinary. After hearing this, she couldn't help but remind her: "There is also a set of Four Treasures of the Study on the desk in the east room. After research by experts, the set of Four Treasures of the Study is very special." Maybe it was the one used by Princess Jin'an."
"Really?" Jiang Lingxi said, already walking towards the east room, and immediately saw the long bookcase under the window that was covered by a huge glass cover.
And the complete set of Four Treasures of the Study placed under the glass cover was extremely familiar to her.
That was the birthday gift she asked Qingyuan to give to Jin An on her fifteenth birthday.
Since then, Jin An has put it on his desk every day.
But now that it was so well protected, it was impossible for her to take it away and put it back for collection.
"Can I take pictures?"
"Can."
Jiang Lingxi took out her mobile phone and took several pictures from various angles. Then she put away the mobile phone and took a deep breath. "Okay, let's go out."
Whether it was a tacit understanding or a coincidence, both of them chose Zhaoming Palace as their last stop in Yinhe Palace.
Zhaoming Hall is located in the middle of the front half of Yinhe Palace, and is divided into the front hall and the back hall.
The front hall is where civil and military officials once went to court, and the back hall is where emperors lived and rested, and where their close friends held small court meetings.
This palace is also the place Jiang Lingxi is most familiar with.
It's just that it's similar to the palaces I visited before. Zhaoming Palace has gone through several emperors and dynasties after it. Now there aren't many familiar places left, and only traces of the vicissitudes of history remain on the architecture.
Until she walked through the spacious and magnificent main hall in front and walked to the small garden between the front and back halls, there was a meal at her feet.
In fact, she had seen a cluster of towering treetops in the Zhaoming Palace before, and thought that a later emperor planted the tree to make it grow so tall.
But looking at the position where the tree grew and the shape of the leaves falling on the ground, it looked like the tree she once thought was dead.
Afraid that she had seen something wrong, Jiang Lingxi immediately walked towards the tree. When she reached the foot of the tree, she squatted down and picked up a small branch from the ground. Then she reached out and touched the trunk, "This tree..."
Is it possible that when the later emperor saw that the tree was dead, he found a way to find a similar one and planted it in the same place?
Shen Yunqing walked behind her, then raised his head to look at the treetops swaying slightly in the breeze, "It is rumored that this spruce tree was planted by Emperor Yuan Zhao himself."
Jiang Lingxi looked at him immediately, "Are you sure?"
Maybe the tree died again after she left, which would be a good thing.
Shen Yunqing met Jiang Lingxi's looking eyes, "It is said that in the second year after Emperor Yuan Zhao left, this spruce tree, which was judged dead by the Garden Department, was surprised when the snow melted in early spring. It was found that new sprouts had sprouted again. There are also rumors that it was a wisp of the soul of Emperor Yuan Zhao that possessed it, which made the dead tree spring again and continue to protect the imperial city. Later, after several renovations in the courtyard, only this cloud tree The fir tree was well preserved, which is why it has the towering appearance it has today."
Jiang Lingxi had a hard time not laughing out loud.
Is her soul still attached to the tree? Is it possible for future generations to pull this off?
"It is probably that the Garden Department at that time did not realize the potential vitality of this spruce. The tree was almost cut down, and they were afraid of punishment, so they found this reason."
Shen Yunqing nodded calmly, "Maybe."
After walking half a circle around the tree, Jiang Lingxi saw a sign standing in front of the tree, which was engraved with the history of the tree. She leaned over slightly to read it, "Now this tree can be considered an antique, right?"
"Um."
Jiang Lingxi was quite happy.
The tree planted by her own hands was still lush and green after thousands of years and was carefully maintained, but she was still lucky enough to see it.
What an opportunity this must be!
After looking at the tree, she happily continued walking forward. She didn't look back until she didn't hear the familiar footsteps behind her.
As expected, Shen Yunqing was still where he was. He was bending down on one knee and reaching out to pick up a leaflet with the iconic attractions of Yinhe Palace that floated over from nowhere.
When he stood up and looked up, Jiang Lingxi almost thought that he was going to shout "Your Majesty" to her.
There was once a man in purple official uniform who bent down to pick up the book she threw on the ground angrily, and advised her, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
Perhaps it was because she was once again in the Zhaoming Palace where she had lived for nearly thirty years that she felt a little confused about time and space.
Jiang Lingxi shook her head, trying to shake off this sense of confusion and familiarity.
When Shen Yunqing came over with the brochure, she took it and looked at both sides. She saw that there were some route markings on it in black handwriting.
Shen Yunqing explained softly from the side: "It should have been thrown away by tourists when they were visiting here yesterday. Before the staff had time to clean it, it was blown here by the wind."
Jiang Lingxi was silent for a moment, feeling that the tone of this explanation was very similar to the voice in her memory.
It seemed that shaking his head just now to wake him up had little effect.
She raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and rarely spoke faster than her brain, "Consultant Shen, are you interested in taking another part-time job?"
