Chapter 1 Bashui Villa
A ray of sunshine entered in the morning. Li Yuanai opened her eyes, gently moved her white lotus-like jade arms and legs, slowly getting out of the bed, stretching her waist.
When I pushed the door, fresh air came to my face, which made me shocked.
Looking around, there is a magnificence in front of him. He is located halfway up the mountain, and wherever he sees his eyes, there are pavilions, towers and pavilions.
To the east is Jingyi Garden. The whole garden is centered on water, surrounded by mountains and rivers, exquisite halls and terraces, lush flowers and trees, and has a rich Jiangnan water town characteristics. The garden is divided into three parts: east, south and west. The east is mainly buildings, reflecting the pattern of typical traditional houses in the Jiangnan region. The flowers in the courtyard are planted with magnolia, crabapple, peony, etc., and the yard is full of famous flowers, which means "the wealth of the jade hall".
The South Garden is the essence of the whole garden. There is the Xiangzhou built on the water, the Songfeng Tower where the three friends of the cold for a long time are planted, and there is a pool of clear water in front of the pavilion, and there is a lotus flower planted; there are banana trees and weeping willows by the pond, and a bunch of banana trees are planted behind the pavilion. The Tingyu Pavilion, which reflects the front and back, makes people feel the fun of the mountains and forests without leaving the house.
In the west is an endless sea of bamboo. There are several houses in it. There are gaps in the base of the courtyard wall flowing into clear water. It circles to the front yard, circling under the bamboo, and comes out. The small bridge flows through the water...
What surprised Li Yuanai the most was Shangqiao Lake...
This was not originally within Li Yuanai's plan, but because of the success of the trolley, the whole world praised it.
Li Shimin waved his hand and planned Shangqiao Lake to Li Yuanai, and rewarded him with a mu of three parts of the land upstream of the Ba River.
Li Yuanai had to temporarily modify the drawings and include the night plan of Shangqiaohu Lake.
The most beautiful lake view is just West Lake.
Li Yuanai reduced the West Lake in his memory and built Shangqiao Lake into a small West Lake.
There are all Baidi, Sudi, Yanggongdi and Zhaogongdi in the lake, Broken Bridge and Leifeng Pagoda, but the name is slightly different.
Of course, what satisfied him the most was the Shangwang Pavilion where he was.
Shangwang Pavilion is located on the hillside of Xiao Zhongnan Mountain. The main building is more than 20 meters tall, and the highest point echoes the Xiao Zhongnan Mountain. The lower part is a five-meter-high platform symbolizing the ancient city wall, which is the foundation and looks magnificent.
The interior of the Shangwang Pavilion is supported by 81 cylinders, and the exterior has 66 corners extending outward. The roof is covered with 160,000 red glazed tiles. The pavilion is made of the "three bright and seven" format commonly used in later generations. It is a majestic three-story building from the outside, with the inside, three bright and three dark layers, plus the equipment layer in the roof, which is as huge as seven layers.
There are also a number of auxiliary buildings such as pagodas, archways, galleries, pavilions, etc. around Shangwang Pavilion, which makes the main building even more magnificent.
At this moment, Li Yuanai is on the top of the attic, not only can he see Jingyi Garden and the Little West Lake, but he can also see the scenery of Ba Bridge, Wu River and the suburbs of Chang'an from afar.
Two years, Shangwang Pavilion, Xiaoxihu Lake, and Jingyiyuan were all his efforts...
"Your Highness!"
Liu Qin'er walked up lightly, put on a robe and said, "It's windy here, don't catch a cold."
Li Yuanai put his arms around Xiaomian's waist and said, "What do you think is the scenery here?"
Liu Qin'er looked out from afar and was a little obsessed with the enlightenment: "Even compared with royal gardens like Furong Garden, they are not inferior, each with its own advantages."
Li Yuanai said, "You are right. If you only let me see such a scenery, it would be a pity. I will continue to pass the order. From now on, Bashui Villa will open a garden to welcome guests. In addition to the accommodation area, Jingyiyuan will allow high-ranking officials, literati and elegant guests, and people of the Tang Dynasty to visit. However, for the sake of the environment, we will receive 10,000 guests every day. First come, first served, regardless of the high or low."
Liu Qin'er exclaimed: "It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. The king is kind and hospitality, and the whole people of Chang'an will be grateful."
Kind heart? Hospitable?
Li Yuanai grinned but refused to answer.
"Carry it off! We have returned to the city and haven't entered the palace for some days. I don't know if Xiao Yizi misses me."
With a bit of reluctance, Li Yuanai turned around and went downstairs to look at the achievements of her two years.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast!
Li Yuanai led Luo Tong and thirty Qianniu Guards, and fast horses galloped on the road to Chang'an.
Luo Tong's term of escort was over, and Li Yuanai did not want to delay his future and asked him to report to the Ministry of War.
As a result, the Ministry of War arranged for him to enter Qianniu Guard, and General Qianniu Guard arranged for him to come over again.
As he went back and forth, Luo Tong was still his guardian of Li Yuanai, but he had gone from being a jobless and became an official position.
After being baptized by the trolley, Li Yuanai is no longer the same as before. Although the limelight has passed, he has no reputation for being foolish.
All the people in the world call him a wise king.
Li Yuanai had already obtained the privilege, and went to the palace to follow his backyard, especially the Lizheng Hall, which was no different from his own family.
As soon as he arrived at Li Zheng Hall, he immediately learned that Li Zhi was practicing archery in the backyard.
Li Yuan Aili ignored him and asked directly: "Where is the little whisper?"
The servant immediately replied: "Princess Jinyang is practicing calligraphy in the study."
After two years, Xiao Yizi has grown up a lot and no longer sticks to her brother day and night. With his own hobbies, he is influenced by Li Shimin and is very fond of calligraphy. He is young and has a good handwriting.
Li Yuanai said: "You tell Baofu, just tell me someone to come and ask her to prepare some delicious food. I'll just go there by myself."
He came to the study room with a familiarity, gently buckled the door, and shouted: "Little Shizi!"
"Brother Ai!"
Xiao Yizi screamed in surprise, put down her pen, and came to the vicinity like a trot. Then he snorted again: "Sister Changle and his brother-in-law Changsun have both been to Bashui Villa, but Xiao Yizi has never taken it. I heard that Bashui Villa is so fun, and the scenery is even more beautiful than the inner garden of the palace. I don't think about Xiao Yizi and Brother Jiu, I don't want to pay attention to you anymore."
Since promised to teach Princess Changle's quick sketches, Li Yuanai's relationship with Princess Changle and Changsun Chong has been a long time.
Due to the other courtyard, Li Yuanai's first invitation to visit was Princess Changle and Changsun Chong.
The two of them praised Bashui Villa, especially Princess Changle, who liked Xiangfeiju in the bamboo sea and praised Lu Wei in the front yard.
Li Yuanai didn't want to anger the little ancestor and said, "How could you forget Little Siezi? It's just that the Bashui Villa now has a little soul and is not in a perfect state. After a few days, people will have a soul, which is the most perfect time for Bashui Villa. At that time, the perfect and cute Little Siezi Princess will definitely be invited to visit."
Little Shizi immediately turned anger and said, "A word is determined. Let's go find Brother Jiu. Brother Jiu is going to get married. The bride seems to be from the Wang family, so beautiful."
She happily pulled Li Yuanai and walked quickly.
Li Yuanai also heard about it and thought to himself: Yes, Xiaojiu is already fourteen, it’s time to get married...
I'm already seventeen unknowingly!
