As early as a month ago, the Fourth Master came to the Old Summer Palace with his wives and concubines to escape the summer heat. Although the current Summer Palace is far from the specifications of later generations, it is more than enough to accommodate Prince Yong's wives and concubines.

There are two lakes in the garden, including the front lake and the back lake. The rivers intersect, the waters are crisscrossed, and the pavilions and towers and lake lights are reflected in color. There are more than a dozen landscapes, which is a great place to cool down the heat and avoid the noise.

The Old Summer Palace has only built three halls on the islands seen in the front lake and the back lake. The front hall is also hung with a plaque of the "Yuan Mingyuan Hall" given by Emperor Kangxi. The middle hall says Feng San Wuyi, and the back hall is called Jiuzhou Qingyan. It is collectively called "The Three Halls of the Old Summer Palace".

The Fourth Master usually lives in the Old Summer Palace Hall on the banks of Qianhu Lake. He usually receives officials and counselors there without summons. The concubines and princesses in the backyard are not allowed to go to the Old Summer Palace Hall to bother with him, and only Lin Xianyu, the legitimate concubine, can go there at will.

Fengsan Wushu Hall is a place where a family holds a family banquet, while Jiuzhou Qingban Hall is the bedroom of the Fourth Master.

Their wives, concubines and women live in the courtyard on the east side of the Qingyan Hall in Jiuzhou.

Although Lin Xianyu occupied the largest yard, he still didn't like it very much.

In the palace, her main courtyard is located directly north of the Fourth Master Yin'an Hall, and her courtyard is surrounded by a small courtyard of concubines, like stars surround the moon.

However, after coming to the Old Summer Palace, she and her concubines lived on the east side of the Qingyan Hall in Jiuzhou.

"Do you think that the courtyards in Shanrong and Shuitai are too small?" Yinzhen actually felt that the courtyards in the east were indeed a little compact and narrow.

Lin Xianyu said lightly, "It's nothing if the yard is a little smaller, mainly because the location is not straight. I should live directly north of the Fourth Master."

Although Yinzhen felt that his concubine was right, he showed helplessness, "But the north of the Qingyan Hall of Jiuzhou is Houhu. You can't live in the summer loft north of Houhu, right?"

There are indeed many buildings around Houhu, but one is far away from the three halls of the Old Summer Palace, and the other is mostly pavilions and towers, with only Wutong Courtyard and Lotus Pavilion, and the location is not the north of the Qingyan Hall of Jiuzhou.

Lin Xianyu actually didn't mind living farther, but there was obviously a better place at this moment, "Why don't you live with me in the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace?"

Yinzhen was shocked. He didn't expect that the concubine would fall in love with his bedroom.

Lin Xianyu smiled and said, "You are dealing with political affairs in the Old Summer Palace on weekdays. You can treat the central hall as a bedroom. How can you live in this rear hall for me? It's like the emperor lives in the Qianqing Palace and the empress lives in the Kunning Palace."

After hearing this, Yinzhen said with a stern face, "You can also say these words casually?!"

But Lin Xianyu could see that the Fourth Master was not really angry. To this day, let alone her, even some concubines in the backyard of the Fourth Master could see the Fourth Master’s idea.

Yinzhen frowned and said, "If I live in the Sanwuyi Hall, where will the family banquet be held in the future?"

Lin Xianyu said lightly, "This is not a big deal. If you like the fun, you will continue to hold a family banquet in the middle hall. If you don't like to bother, you will hold a banquet in the back hall. In this way, the family can get closer."

After hearing this, Yinzhen felt it was reasonable and nodded.

Lin Xianyu thought to himself, it should have been like this long ago! Why do you occupy the three largest temples by yourself? Isn’t it okay to live in one by one?

Why do I have to go east to live in the courtyard with my concubines?

This Old Summer Palace was originally the garden of Kangxi. In the past, Mazi Kangxi also came here to live for a while. Of course, the emperor had to be an emperor-like figure, and he occupied three temples alone. The concubines who accompanied him were stuffed into small courtyards with mountains and rivers to the east.

But she is the real wife, why should she treat her like a concubine?

Lin Xianyu suddenly realized that in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it seemed that the empress did not live in Kunning Palace, and also lived in a partial palace like a concubine. The empress did not look like a queen, and the concubines did not look like a concubine. No wonder the Qing Dynasty always had a prince born in a concubine to inherit the throne.

Therefore, after a little cleaning, Lin Xianyu moved to the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall.

It is worthy of being the hall built by Kangxi, it is spacious! The interior of the hall is covered with gold bricks, and there are east-west warm pavilions, fairy towers, and treasure pavilions. The east warm pavilions have kangs and beds, and the west warm pavilions have beds and fans - of course it is not a modern electric fan, but a water-powered fan, which is great to cool down and cool down!

There are antiques and porcelain in the Baby Pavilion, which are all private collections of the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master did not take them away and left them for her to enjoy.

Well, that's right, the Fourth Master is actually a very generous man.

There is also a self-ringing bell in the hall, which is considered a fresh and precious thing in this era, but in Lin Xianyu's eyes, this is an antique.

There is a pair of copper cranes in front of the hall, with osmanthus canopy and four plum canopy canopy. There is also a sea hall and a tea tree on the west side of the crane. There is a pier behind the hall. - That's right, because the back of the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall is close to Houhu! So Lin Xianyu can go out directly from the back door and take a boat to raft on the lake!

She had lived in the east courtyard before, so she didn't rush to move out. She was mainly thinking about where to move. After studying for a long time, she aimed at the Fourth Master's bedroom.

Oh my god, who lets you occupy three temples by yourself? It’s not an exaggeration to divide one of me?

Take a boat from the Palace Pier, you can go to Cihang Pudu, opposite the lake to worship Buddha, or go to the Lotus Pavilion and Wutong Garden, which is cheaper than land transportation. This is mainly because most of the landscapes in the Summer Palace are around Houhu.

Lin Xianyu lived in Qingyan, Jiuzhou - this temple will be the bedroom of Emperor Yongzheng in the future!

There are also many ink treasures of the Fourth Master, including calligraphy, paintings, couplets, plaques, and a dozen.

Lin Xianyu modified it according to his preferences, making it a little warm and elegant. These calligraphy and paintings naturally remain the same. The Fourth Master's artistic skills are still very good, especially the characters are written in a simple and elegant manner, comparable to those of calligraphers.

There is also a Qinghui Pavilion to the west of the Qingyan Hall in Jiuzhou. It has seven rooms at the top and bottom. The pavilion is high and spacious, and there is a large collection of books in the pavilion. A large part of them were left by Kangxi. After the Fourth Master was appointed as the Old Summer Palace, he also expanded a lot.

The first floor of Qinghui Pavilion has become a place for the Fourth Master’s sons to study. It is close to it, which makes the Fourth Master visiting frequently.

As for the children of the Fourth Master, they live in the east and northeast of Qingyan in Jiuzhou, which are separated from the island where the three halls are located, and are also a good place to escape the summer heat. The eldest prince Hongxu lived in Wutongyuan, the second prince Shuyierha lived in Wufutang, the second prince Hongyun lived in Yangsu Bookstore in Liuyuekaiyun, and the third prince lived in Xuming Room. As for the third prince Ge Nengdan Yierha, he was still young, so he lived with Lin Xianyu, and the fourth prince still lived in Wu's courtyard.

Among them, Wutong Garden is the largest and the most spacious. After all, Hongyu has concubines, so it’s time to get married. It’s time to give it a bigger courtyard.

The Fourth Master has eleven years left before becoming emperor, but I am afraid that Hongyu will have children and daughters by then.

Although Lin Xianyu treated Hongxu well, she always spared the market. When Hongxu was young, although she taught him to read, it was purely because Hongxu was cute at that time and she was just teaching her to play with nothing.

Fortunately, she was free from the raising, and the Fourth Master would not. In recent years, the Fourth Master taught his son very harshly, and his requirements for the eldest son Hongjue were even higher.

Now Hongyou is busy studying and riding and shooting. Although he has taken concubines and people in the house, he has no time to play with his concubines, so he has not had any life yet.

The royal children are also hard-working.

Lin Xianyu told Madam Kong, "Remember to ask the kitchen to make some cool drinks and send them to Qinghui Pavilion."

"Yes, concubine!" Madam Kong responded and whispered, "Fujin, the eldest prince's biological mother is Li Fang's concubine after all. Now Princess Niuhulu is happy, if she has a son..."

Lin Xianyu almost rolled her eyes. Of course, Niuhulu would have a child, but she was not interested in prodigal sons!

She waved her hand, "Niuhulu has been in the mansion for many years, and she finally got happy for a while. She is the first child again, so let her raise it by herself."

Seeing that the concubine was determined, Madam Kong did not dare to say much.
