Chapter 532: 3 Mountains, 9 Islands, and the World's No. 1 Royal Garden
Just a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can he bring down Lao Jiu?
This is a bit unrealistic no matter how you think about it, right?
Baili Moqing changed into a purple robe with a four-clawed dragon pattern today, embellished with dark cloud patterns, looking majestic, solemn and noble.
"Don't underestimate a mere Minister of Works. He holds a lot of power in his hands!"
Shu He raised an eyebrow. "He has something on Old Nine? But the Fu family belongs to Old Four. Even if he has something on Old Nine, he won't go crazy and bite people randomly, right?"
She really couldn't understand Baili Moqing's move no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing her frown, he showed a bit of pride on his face, "It's rare that there are times when you can't see through me. I finally found a little confidence."
Sometimes, it’s not good to have people around you who are too smart. It’s easy to be hurt and feel like you are not as smart as before.
"Just watch, don't worry about it. You've already ruined Lao Jiu's reputation, so it's time for me to take this power away."
"Revenge, I can't let you do everything. Wouldn't that make me feel insignificant?"
He moved closer to her, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Let's go and take Yi'er to the palace. Xiaoyi is already waiting at the palace gate. He said he wants to take you and Yi'er to visit the Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pond first."
"Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pond?"
It was an imperial garden used for banquets and outings by the emperor, princesses, princes, and concubines. It was said to have a beautiful setting and ornate architecture, dominated by large expanses of waterscapes. A dense network of waterways, dotted with palaces, terraces, and pavilions, made it the largest imperial garden within the imperial palace.
There are many rumors about Sanshan Jiuzhou Pool among the people, all of which praise its beautiful scenery and magnificent architecture, which is like a fairyland.
"I'd heard about the Imperial Garden this morning. I longed to visit it when I was a kid. I never thought I'd have the chance to go in and play!"
"She's really benefiting from the Eleventh Princess! I'll bring her some of Uncle Zhang's specialty, hawthorn and lotus cake, as a thank you gift!"
Shu He packed the nuts he bought outside and prepared to make some nut crisps to take to the palace.
"What do you mean by taking advantage of her? If you want to go, just tell me anytime and I'll arrange it!"
He is the Prince of Li, can't he handle such a small matter?
Shu He smiled faintly, "Have you fallen in love with sour tastes recently?"
He didn't quite understand, "What do you mean? I don't eat sour food!"
Buckled teeth!
"If that's the case, why are you always so inexplicably jealous?"
He was a little anxious. "What are you jealous of? I'm just stating the facts, okay?"
"It's just the Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pond, it's not a restricted area. If you want to go play, you can go anytime!"
Shu He shook his head, a look of doubt on his face. "But, I heard that the Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pool is not accessible to princes who have left the palace to establish their own residences. They can only visit the designated areas with the emperor's permission or when there is a royal banquet!"
"How can you let me enter a place where you can't enter freely?"
This may sound a bit like bragging.
She had heard before that Fu Qingrong once wanted to enter the Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pool, but Baili Moyin refused on the grounds that he didn't want to cause trouble.
Finally, she took the opportunity to give a gift to Concubine De and begged her to take her in for a walk.
If it was really a simple request, Baili Moyin shouldn't be so stingy as to not agree to Fu Qingrong's request, right?
After all, she gave birth to a child for him.
Baili Moqing felt that his dignity and ability were being despised and trampled upon, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
"We can't enter casually because most of the people who go there are concubines from the harem, and adult princes and nobles naturally have to avoid suspicion."
"But you're different. You're my princess consort, a member of the royal family! Your desire to enter the Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pool is just a matter of asking for permission. Why would you bother? Why would you need to ask others for favors or rely on their help?"
After saying this, he looked into her eyes seriously, and his voice became softer, "Remember, you yourself are the light!"
Shu He's heart moved slightly, and a faint joy spread from his heart.
As expected, women act like fools when they fall in love.
They are just some sweet words. Even though I know they are flashy and empty, I am still moved by them.
After returning to Prince Li's mansion, Yier changed into a new set of light pink clothes.
The silk and satin were embroidered with exquisite auspicious patterns, as well as cute little rabbits and flowers; the colors were mainly pink, supplemented by white, and dotted with some gold and red. The lapels were covered with exquisite embroidery with bright colors and unique stitches. It was obvious that it was made by a skilled embroiderer.
Her hair was braided into a double bun, decorated with pink and silver pearl flowers, which made her look playful and cute.
"Mom, do I look good?"
She spun in front of Shu He, with a blood-red auspicious cloud gem necklace hanging on her chest, emitting a dazzling and brilliant light in the sunlight.
Rubies of this grade are hard to find in the world.
Shu He squinted his eyes and smiled, praising her generously, "Wow! My Yi'er, you're so pretty!"
Zhang Zhirou stood aside with a proud look on her face, "Sister He, my cooking skills are pretty good, right?"
Zhang Zhiyi's official position was not high enough, so Zhang Zhirou failed to qualify to enter the palace this time. She came to Prince Li's mansion today specifically to dress up Yi'er. After all, Yi'er is the real protagonist today!
Shu He nodded, his eyes filled with amazement.
"Although the style of the clothes is a bit complicated, it is a formal occasion after all, so it should be more solemn."
"I didn't expect that our Yi'er would look like a little fairy after dressing up!"
Yi'er obviously liked her outfit and was in a very happy mood. Even the look in her eyes when she looked at Baili Moqing became much friendlier.
"Mother, Sister Rou said she can't come into the palace with us. Why is that?"
"I want to go to the palace to play with Sister Arou!"
Shu He had no say in this matter. After all, she was only qualified to attend the Chunhua Royal Banquet thanks to Yi'er and Baili Moqing.
Zhang Zhirou giggled and comforted him, "Yier, don't worry. When you get to the palace, your aunt will be with you! When you come back, Sister Rou will take you out to play again!"
"As for the Imperial Palace, Sister Rou doesn't really want to go there."
I heard that the imperial palace is a huge golden birdcage. Although it is magnificent, my grandmother said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. If you can avoid stepping into the palace, it is best not to do so!
Yi'er looked disappointed. "But Sister Arou, didn't you tell my aunt yesterday that you also wanted to see the Three Mountains and Nine Continents Pond in the Imperial Palace?"
"Uh……"
