"Have you really never been to the Forbidden City?" Baobao reconfirmed.

"Not really."

"That's a pity. I wanted you to be our tour guide!"

"what……"

"Okay, stop teasing her." Yu Qiyuan glanced at Baobao helplessly: "Let's go! Let's go to lunch first."

"Yes, sister Qiyuan... I'm really hungry too." Su Zixian immediately changed the topic with Yu Qiyuan with a timely smile, not giving Baobao a chance to talk about her.

In fact, she is not stupid at all - except when it comes to love.

The lunch of the few people was settled in a rather high-end restaurant. The five people didn't eat anything special, but it cost more than 1000 yuan.

The bill was settled by Bao Bao, and as the only man in the audience, this was as it should be.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Qiyuan bought a high-end SLR camera worth 15 yuan just to go to the Forbidden City to take some photos.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. People who are used to good cameras are indeed not used to low-end cameras.

But this is not the most expensive, there are also priced at 40!
"I wasted another 10,000+. I should have brought my camera with me when I came here." Yu Qiyuan muttered helplessly: "It seems that I have to find a boyfriend, otherwise no one will pay for my shopping. .”

Baobao: "..."

Is this a finger pointing at Huai?

All the way to the Forbidden City, Baobao was still a little excited. After all, it was the first time for him to set foot on this place where the emperor's concubine lived hundreds of years ago.

The Forbidden City was built by Zhu Di in 1406, and it took 15 years to complete, which means that at least before the fifteenth century, the histories of the two time and space were still the same.

After entering the Forbidden City, the ticket office is on the west side of the Meridian Gate.

When Baobao was queuing up to buy tickets, he suddenly heard Su Zixian's laughter: "The auspicious time has come, push Xiao Qianqian out of the Meridian Gate and behead him!"

Bao Bao not only had black lines all over his face: "What auspicious time has come, it's noon!"

"Ah...? Hehe..." Su Zixian stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "It's easy to say."

"However, beheadings are generally not at the Meridian Gate, but at Caishikou."

"I know a little bit about this." Su Zixian smiled and said, "What do you want to see later?"

Baobao stretched out his fingers and counted one by one: "The Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Shufangzhai, the Imperial Garden, the Palace of Golden Luan, the Palace of Kun Ning, the Palace of Qianqing... these are probably the main places I want to see!"

"Why does Brother Bao want to see these?"

Bao Bao couldn't explain this question to her in detail, so he could only half-truth and half-fake it perfunctorily.

Naturally, I want to see the Hall of Mental Cultivation because it is the place where Yongzheng lived, especially the Baobao made by Zhen Huan. I have long wanted to see it.

The Compassionate Ninggong is the place where Lafayette lived in "Han Zhu Ge Ge", there is no way, this impression is too deep.

Shufangzhai was the place where the two Gege lived, but Baobao also knew now that these were fake.

Because from Qianlong to the end of the Qing Dynasty, no emperor's "Ge Ge" lived and rested in Shufangzhai. Besides, even these two Ge Ge are actually fictional characters.

However, there is a stage opposite Shufangzhai. If the emperor listens to the opera, he will usually be here.

When the last emperor Puyi got married in 1922, Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang performed "Farewell My Concubine" for him in Shufangzhai.

As for the Imperial Garden and the Golden Temple, needless to say.

As for Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, you can tell that they are a pair of palaces just by hearing their names.

The Qianqing Palace was the bedroom of the fourteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Shunzhi and Kangxi emperors of the Qing Dynasty, while the Kunning Palace was the bedroom of the empress.

The names of these two palaces come from the "Tao Te Ching": the sky can be cleared, and the earth can be peaceful.

In ancient times, the status of the emperor and the empress was relative, the emperor was the sky, the empress was the earth, and "Qian Kun" refers to the "heaven and earth".
Taking "Tianqing" and "Dining" in "Tao Te Ching", they are named Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.

It was only since Yongzheng moved the sleeping palace to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After that, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty also lived in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the empress no longer lived in the Kunning Palace. The Kunning Palace then became a place for worship.

However, when the emperor got married, the Kunning Palace was still used as a wedding room. The emperor lived in another palace after having sex with the queen for three days.

"Brother Bao, according to the places you mentioned, let's go in from the Meridian Gate and walk forward to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is the Jinluan Hall you mentioned, and then... let me think about it." Su Zixian frowned. Knocked on the small head: "Then go left, it seems that you can go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace and the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and if you go forward, you will be clean..."

"Didn't you say that you have never been to the Forbidden City?" Baobao interrupted her with a smile: "How do you know so well?"

"Ah..." Su Zixian blushed immediately, "I...it's my first time here today!"

"Yes, it is what you say."

"Hmph, and there is one thing that may disappoint you. Shufangzhai is not open to tourists yet."

"……All right!"

After buying the tickets, several people entered the Supreme Harmony Gate from the Meridian Gate.

Today is a weekday, and there are not many tourists.

However, Baobao’s first impression here is that there are many foreigners, and most of them are more romantic than Chinese people.

Most Chinese people take pictures with their mobile phones, while foreigners mostly carry cameras, and even carry a bracket on their backs, which is not too troublesome.

But thinking about it, it is not easy for foreigners to visit the Forbidden City once, so they have to be well-prepared.

For first-timers like Baobao and Yu Qiyuan, the scenery along the way is quite novel, and Yu Qiyuan also likes to take pictures, so the speed along the way is very slow.

Although Su Zixian has been here more than once and she is familiar with most of the scenery, she still patiently walks and chats with a few people, and with her warm personality, she definitely won't have any objections.

After about two hours, everyone arrived at the Shenwu Gate at the northernmost point, and they left the Forbidden City after leaving the Shenwu Gate.

"Let's take a group photo here at Shenwumen!" Yu Qiyuan suggested.

"Of course no problem." Bao Bao nodded with a smile: "It's just that we didn't have a camera stand, so we couldn't take a group photo!"

"You are stupid! Let's ask a passerby to help take a picture."

"Aren't you afraid that passers-by will run away with your camera? 10,000+ yuan!" Baobao curled his lips: "You don't have a boyfriend yet, and no one will buy you a new one then!"

Yu Qiyuan: "..."

Facts have proved that Baobao's worries are unnecessary, and most passers-by are still very kind-hearted.

So kind that after the photo was taken, the passer-by asked Yu Qiyuan for her phone number, saying that he could treat her to dinner and take her home.

The people of the imperial capital are indeed very hospitable!
