The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 336
When the carriage left the Shenwu Gate, it was already dark. This time, it was not a big show. It was just escorted by the imperial guards and drove slowly on the stone road in the capital.

Yingyun lifted up a corner of the curtain, watching the people coming and going on the street, smelling the smell of steamed stuffed buns wafting from the shop, and shouting loudly, suddenly there was an aura of human fireworks.

When going on tour with the emperor, many times the venue has to be cleared. I can hear my own heartbeat quietly on the street. There is no chance to be as close to the people as I am now.

The carriage traveled to the busiest Chang'an Street in the capital, and after another quarter of an hour, it finally stopped.

The emperor walked ahead, turned around and gave her a hand, and the two got out of the carriage one by one.

When Yingyun looked up, she saw a two-storey small building with seven rooms in width and double eaves glazed tiles on the top of the mountain. On the lintel of the door, there were three big characters of "Baoyue Tower" impressively written on it.

The emperor smiled at her playfully, led her in, and said, "Go and have a look."

Yingyun followed him in in amazement, and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is really fast, has Baoyue Tower been built so quickly?"

The emperor laughed and said, "I personally supervise the work, of course they will not slack off for a moment."

Climbing up to Baoyue Tower, you can overlook the Three Seas to the north, the market to the south, the Forbidden City to the east, and the Yuanshan Mountain to the west, all surrounded by unique scenery.Yingyun leaned over the railing, looking at the bustling crowds on Chang'an Avenue, the lights of thousands of houses were like stars, and she had a panoramic view.

There are [-] halls in Baoyue Tower, and the emperor displayed articles with Manchu, Mongolian, Han, Hui and other ethnic characteristics, ranging from various musical instruments to ethnic costumes.

The emperor showed her around one by one, and said: "The empress likes singing and dancing. This place is close to the Forbidden City, so I often come here for a short stay."

Yingyun caressed these objects lightly, each one was extremely delicate, she couldn't help but smiled and praised: "Your Majesty, you are so awesome."

With a smile on his face, the emperor took her hand, walked to the north stand, pointed to the distance to the sea, and said, "Empress, look there again!"

Following the direction of his finger, Yingyun looked into the distance, and saw that the South China Sea was as quiet as jade under the night, and there were colorful lights flickering around it. Fireworks were set off.

The colorful fireworks, like scattered stars, illuminated the sky, falling on the South China Sea, making the South China Sea more and more beautiful.

Although Yingyun traveled to many places with the emperor, she never took a good tour of the capital. She never expected that there would be such a beautiful resort in the west of the Forbidden City.

"Where is that place?" Yingyun stared at the emperor.

The emperor said: "Yingtai."

"Yingtai?!" Yingyun was startled, her eyes widened, and she asked again excitedly: "This small island is Yingtai?"

Seeing her strange expression, the emperor said, "Well, what's the matter? The Ming Dynasty called it Nantai. After our Manchus entered the customs, the ancestors renamed it Yingtai. When I was young, I often accompanied the ancestors to fish here. It’s just that after the completion of the Old Summer Palace, there were fewer people here.”

Yingyun's perception of Yingtai was not in the period of Kangxi and Qianlong, but in the period of Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty. Yingtai was the place where Guangxu was imprisoned for ten years.

Such a famous historical site, Yingyun immediately jumped up, since she came here, why not go for a walk.

Thinking about it, Yingyun pulled the emperor and said: "The concubine is very interested in Yingtai, the emperor will accompany the concubine for a walk."
