Chapter 157 The Millennium Spruce
However, the two of them did not stay in Cuiwei Palace for long.

After a general tour, Jiang Lingxi realized that he was wrong.

The box that was found before was kept in a hidden location and was not discovered until thousands of years later.

After her, there were several emperors in Yinhe Palace who ascended the throne here, and correspondingly, several empresses also lived in Cuiwei Palace. The traces of their predecessors' lives have long been erased.

Until now, there is only this familiar and solid building left.

After coming out of Cuiwei Palace, the two stepped on the balance car again. Jiang Lingxi also calmed down. She was about to say that she would go to the nearby Anping Palace to have a look at it. Then she thought that this should be her first time here. The visitor, acting too familiar, changed his words hastily: "Consultant Shen, where shall we go next?"

Shen Yunqing knew the next stop that Jiang Lingxi wanted to go from the direction she just looked at, so she replied: "This is the closest to the Anping Palace where Princess Jin'an lived in Yuanzhao years. Why don't you go there first?"

Pushing open the vermilion gate, Jiang Lingxi was taken aback when he saw the furnishings in the hall.

Without him, it doesn't look like it used to live here.

Shen Yunqing's voice sounded behind her at the right time, "Since Yuanzhao, this Anping Hall has been changed into the Royal Library Pavilion, and no one has lived there since then."

Jiang Lingxi stretched out her hand, and touched the books on the bookshelf in front of her that were exceptionally well-preserved, "I read historical records, Princess Jin'an liked to read books the most when she was alive, if she could see the preserved books in the palace where she lived, With so many books, you should be very happy."

Shen Yunqing naturally knew that her feelings for Princess Jin'an, a young girl, were extraordinary, so she couldn't help reminding: "There is also a set of Four Treasures of the Study on the table in the east room. After research by experts, that set of Four Treasures of the Study is probably the Princess Jin'an once used it."

"Really?" Jiang Lingxi said as she walked towards the east room, and saw the long desk under the window covered by a huge glass cover.

She is also extremely familiar with the set of Four Treasures of the Study placed under the glass cover.

That was a birthday gift that Qing Yuan gave to Jin An on her 15th birthday.

Since then, Jin An has used it on the desk every day.

But now that it looks so well protected, it is impossible for her to take it away and take it back for collection.

"Can I take a picture?"

"can."

Jiang Lingxi took out her mobile phone and took several pictures from various angles, then put away her mobile phone and took a deep breath, "Okay, let's go out."

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding or a coincidence, but 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 front hall and back hall.

The front hall is the place where civil and military officials used to go to court, and the back hall is the place where the emperor lived and rested, and his confidants 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’ve visited before. The Zhaoming Palace, which has gone through several emperors and dynasties after her, doesn’t have many familiar places left, and only traces of the vicissitudes of history remain on the building.

Until she walked through the spacious and magnificent Grand Court Hall in front and walked to the small garden between the front and rear halls, there was a meal under her feet.

In fact, she had already seen a cluster of towering treetops in the Zhaoming Palace before, and she thought it was the tree that was planted by some emperor in later generations to grow so tall.

But it depends on where the tree grows, and the shape of the fallen leaves on the ground, how does it look like the one she thought was dead.

Afraid that he might be mistaken, Jiang Lingxi immediately raised his feet and walked towards the tree. When he got under the tree, he squatted down and picked up a small branch from the ground, and then reached out to touch the trunk, "This tree..."

Could it be that after 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 once planted by Emperor Yuan Zhao himself."

Jiang Lingxi looked at him immediately, "Are you sure?"

Could it be that the tree was dead again after she left, and that would be a good thing.

Shen Yunqing looked into Jiang Lingxi's eyes, "It is said that in the second year after Emperor Yuanzhao left, this spruce that was supposed to be dead by the Gardens Department, when the snow melted in the early spring, some palace people were surprised to find that it was dead again. It sprouted new buds. There are also rumors that it was a ray of soul of Emperor Yuan Zhao possessing it, which made the dead tree bloom again in spring and continued to guard the imperial city. Later, the courtyard was repaired several times, and only this spruce tree It has been well preserved, so it has the towering posture it is today."

Jiang Lingxi managed not to laugh out loud.

Returning her soul to a tree, can future generations be able to talk about it like this?

"It is estimated that the Garden Bureau at that time did not realize the potential vitality of the spruce. The tree was almost cut down, and they were afraid of punishment, so they found such an excuse."

Shen Yunqing nodded calmly, "Maybe."

After walking half a circle around the tree, Jiang Lingxi saw a sign standing in front of the tree, engraved with the history of the tree, she leaned slightly to read it, "Now this tree is considered an antique, right?"

"Ah."

Jiang Lingxi was quite happy.

The tree planted by her own hands is still alive and well maintained after thousands of years, and she is still lucky enough to see it.

What an opportunity this must be!

After seeing the tree, she continued to walk forward with great interest, until she didn't hear the familiar footsteps behind her, and then she looked back.

Seeing that Shen Yunqing was still standing still, she was kneeling on one knee at this moment, reaching out to pick up a promotional leaflet with a painting of the iconic scenic spots of Yinhe Palace that floated over from nowhere.

When he got up and looked up, Jiang Lingxi almost thought he was going to call "Your Majesty" to herself in a trance.

Once upon a time, there was such a person, dressed in a purple official uniform, who bent his knees to pick up the papers that she threw on the ground angrily, and advised her, "Your Majesty, don't get angry."

Probably because she was once again in the Zhaoming Palace where she had lived for nearly 30 years, which gave her a sense of space-time confusion.

Jiang Lingxi shook her head, trying to get rid of this sense of confusion and familiarity.

When Shen Yunqing walked over with the leaflet, she took it and looked at both the front and back, and saw that there were some route markings in black handwriting.

Shen Yunqing explained softly from the side: "It should have been thrown away by a tourist yesterday when they were visiting here. The staff hadn't had time to clean it before it was blown here by the wind."

Jiang Lingxi was silent for a while, only feeling that the tone of this explanation was very similar to the voice in memory.

It seems that just shaking the head to wake up the mind has little effect.

She raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and her mouth almost passed her mind, "Is Consultant Shen interested in taking another part-time job?"
