Chapter 137: Stay at 5 Fu Hall and enjoy the view
"Thank you for the hard work, Yuhu."
Fu Cha Zhixi nodded without saying anything more, but looked at the natural scenery where he would live during this period with great interest.
Yuhu took the initiative to step forward and handed a purse to the chief eunuch. The eunuch felt the heavy feel of the purse and the smile on his face became more obvious.
Next, he introduced the scenery and layout of the courtyard to Fu Cha Zhixi with more care.
Since this small courtyard was specially allocated to Fu Cha Zhixi for her to live alone, she can choose to live in any palace.
The main body of the entire building is a square building. To the north are Langyin Pavilion, Zhuxue Tower, Wufu Hall, Zhushenhejing, to the west is Jingzhichunshijia, and to the east is Sudi Chunxiao.
"Your Majesty, the most common plant in this natural landscape is bamboo. The Emperor specially selected this place for you to live in because he remembered that you like bamboo."
The eunuch smiled and led the way for Fu Cha Zhixi while introducing the small courtyard.
"There is a magnolia tree in the Wufu Hall that was planted when the garden was first built. This tree is known as the ancestor of the imperial garden magnolia. Your Majesty, you must go and see it."
Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xiang's favorite flower was magnolia, so the emperor specifically asked him to introduce this magnolia to Concubine Xiang.
"really?"
Fu Cha Zhixi was indeed very pleasantly surprised. She did not expect that this natural painting would be to her liking in every aspect.
Originally, she planned to live in Zhuxu Tower so that she could climb up and look at the distant scenery, but after hearing what the palace servant said, she immediately changed her mind and wanted to go to Wufu Hall to take a look.
"How dare a slave deceive your majesty."
The eunuch spoke quickly.
"Look, madam."
The eunuch took Fu Cha Zhixi to the entrance of Wufu Hall. Before they entered, they saw the magnolia planted in the courtyard through the high wall.
The magnolia tree is worthy of being called the ancestor of the imperial garden magnolia. It is indeed much taller than ordinary magnolia trees. Its straight trunk reaches the sky, making it look particularly eye-catching.
Fu Cha Zhixi fell in love with it at first sight, and she immediately decided to live in Wufu Hall.
Yuhu and Suqin, who came along with them, were completely mesmerized by the beauty of this natural painting. There was a new scene at every step and they could not see enough of it.
Fang Qiu was relieved to see that Fu Cha Zhixi chose to live in Wufutang.
After spending these days with the Empress, she has more or less understood her preferences.
If it weren't for the magnolia tree, Her Majesty would certainly choose to live in the Bamboo Tower. Although this attic is exquisite and beautiful, and one can also go up high to enjoy the view, Her Majesty is pregnant now, so such a place is naturally not suitable for Her Majesty to live in.
If you accidentally fall while going upstairs, it would be a big deal.
Now it is much safer for the Empress to choose to live in Wufu Hall. Not only is the name of Wufu Hall much more auspicious than Zhuyu Tower, but it is also a bungalow which is more suitable for pregnant women to live in.
"what?"
"Look, my lady, this place is filled with lotus flowers."
Yuhu looked at the various lotus flowers placed in the house and couldn't help but exclaim.
"How is this going?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with some surprise and asked.
"Reporting to the queen, these lotus flowers are because the emperor thought that the queen is pregnant and it is not suitable for her to use incense, so he specially ordered the servants to prepare these lotus flowers in advance and put the wind wheel on it for the queen to cool down and get incense."
The eunuch smiled broadly at Fu Cha Zhixi with his old face.
"You said it was the Emperor's order, so the Emperor guessed that I would choose Wufu Hall?"
Fu Cha Zhixi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's right, Your Majesty, your thoughts are connected."
The eunuch smiled and spoke.
"It's true, look, madam."
After Yu Hu and other eunuchs finished their introductions, they walked to the wind wheel with curiosity on their faces, carefully pulled the rope, and the wind wheel began to turn slowly.
A gust of wind carrying the fragrance of lotus was blown in front of Fucha Zhixi.
"My lady, it smells so good."
Yuhu looked at Fucha Zhixi excitedly and said.
"Yes, Madam, this thing is really magical. Just pull it gently and there will be wind."
Suqin is always calm, but at this moment she is curious about how the wind wheel turns.
"This is a precious item. No other lady has it. Only you, my lady, have it."
"The Emperor thought that Your Majesty was afraid of heat and was worried that using ice would be bad for your health, so he specifically ordered me to bring this thing to Your Majesty."
"The wind from this wind wheel is cool and not likely to make people catch a cold. It's an incredible treasure."
The eunuch introduced the wind wheel with a smile.
In fact, the Old Summer Palace is much cooler than the Forbidden City, and the natural painting located in the center of the lake makes it even cooler.
Now, with the addition of the fragrant wind created by the wind wheel, it is difficult for Wufu Hall to get hot.
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
Fu Cha Zhixi nodded to the eunuch.
"Please tell the Emperor that I will go there in person to express my gratitude in a moment."
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of what you said. The Emperor said that Your Majesty should rest well in Wufu Hall and that the Emperor will be here soon."
The eunuch smiled and bowed to Fu Cha Zhixi before speaking.
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave first."
"Yuhu, go see your father-in-law off."
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
"Yes, ma'am."
After Yuhu knelt down and saluted, she walked out with the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Suqin took the maids to put the large and small bags they brought into order.
Aunt Fangqiu walked straight into the bedroom and checked from the inside to the outside, making sure there was nothing wrong before she stopped.
This place is different from Chengqian Palace, it is a completely new place.
If the Emperor could guess that he would choose Wufutang, then the Empress might be able to guess it as well, so it is necessary to check it carefully.
But this time, there was no problem at all. It was so clean that Aunt Fangqiu was a little surprised.
However, he soon realized that the other party must have thought that attacking the carriage was foolproof, so he didn't waste any effort here.
But this is not a good thing. The queen just failed, but this does not mean that the other party will not have a new vicious plan to harm her next time.
"Your Majesty, we must be more careful in the Old Summer Palace this time."
Aunt Fangqiu spoke with a rare look of difficulty on her face.
After all, this place is not like the Forbidden City. The Old Summer Palace is an unfamiliar place. It may seem beautiful, but a careful analysis reveals that it contains many things that are not good for pregnant concubines.
If you are not careful, you might get caught.
"Aunt, don't worry. We don't need to do this natural painting unless it is necessary. Besides, I am already eight months pregnant. When the emperor comes later, I will tell him about bringing my mother into the palace."
Fu Cha Zhixi spoke to comfort her.
