Chapter 170 Hong Yan

Chapter 170 Hong Yan
The Ministry of Works acted quickly, probably because Yinzhen had already given the order. Within a few days, a miniature 3D model of the garden was placed on Yihuan's desk.

She ordered people to put two large tables together so that it could just fit inside, which shows how large the scale of the space was.

Yihuan saw the shadow of the sales office in her previous life in this model, the difference was that the one presented by the Ministry of Industry was more refined and had more details. Even the patterns on the plaque that Yihuan had seen only once and was deeply impressed by was lifelike, and some of the subtle details required the use of a magnifying glass.

It was the first time that Liuliu saw a scaled-down architectural model. He didn't even bother practicing his handwriting. Instead, he stretched out his little hands to touch here and there, and curiously pulled Yihua to ask questions about all sorts of things.

Little Wolf also found it novel. He stretched out his hand but was stopped by Liu Liu. Little Wolf tilted his head in confusion. Liu Liu smiled and held Little Wolf's fat hand, thinking:

My younger brother’s hands are too strong. We can’t let him touch us, otherwise the building will collapse. It’s such a pity.

Yihua saw what Liuliu was thinking, so she took one of the little wolf's fingers and gently touched a corner of the rockery. The little wolf seemed to be thinking of something funny and laughed out loud.

"Mom, there is a lot of space here and here." Liu Liu saw some clues.

Yihuan patiently explained to them: "These are all waiting for what we want."

In short, the hard decoration of the Old Summer Palace has been basically completed, and now the soft decoration, which is the most tiring and can best reflect a person's taste, has begun. For a perfectionist like Yinzhen, Yihua thinks that if she wants to really move in, she will have to wait until next year.

"Mom, I want a swing!" Liuliu blinked her big eyes. She has been playing on the swing since she was a child and she never gets tired of it.

"Mom, I want the dog room." The little wolf seemed to understand. He squatted down and huddled together with Doudou, looking like brothers.

"Okay, all of them." Yihuan agreed readily.

Yihua prepared a paintbrush for the little wolf: "Come, draw the style of doghouse you want, paint it, and ask your father to send someone to do it."

This is both educational and entertaining. It can not only exercise his imagination, but also enhance his color recognition. Children also like it.

Liuliu went to paint with Xiaolang and pulled Doudou's dog tail by the way. Yihua was alone admiring the miniature version of the Old Summer Palace.

Even this semi-finished product would be priced sky-high in modern times, and it would be the kind that is in short supply. Yihua suddenly felt the destruction and trampling of the motherland by the great powers during the modern period.

She wanted to see the heyday of the Old Summer Palace, and also wanted to see its glory continue for as long as possible. This is not something that can be done by one person, but is the result of the efforts of generations of people.

Let’s start with Honghui, the little wolf.

By the way, now that Xiaolang had a name, Kangxi gave names to his grandchildren in batches, and the newly-minted Hongyan was one of them.

But no one has called him by his full name yet. Sometimes when Honghui teases him by calling him, he will look around to see if there is an extra person in the room, which makes people laugh.

What Xiaolang likes most is to hold the small wooden sword that Honghui gave him, and hold Doudou's hand, and stroll around the mansion every day. He can also swing the wooden sword in a very professional manner, as if he has learned some sword skills without any teacher.

Yinzhen once lamented that this child was a natural military general and should not be wasted, so now he uses the best medicinal herbs in his diet and even bathing. Honghui and Xiaolang are one civil and one military, and Yihua hopes that the two brothers can rewrite the direction of the Qing Dynasty, so that her trip here will be worthwhile!

After the crown prince was restored to the throne, Tong Guining felt that this person was even more dangerous.

The Yuqing Palace was not large, and her room was closest to the prince's study. In addition, she paid close attention, so she often found some unburned paper scraps on the edge of the charcoal basin in the prince's room.

The prince must be plotting something, and perhaps Miss Lin Tong'er knows something. Tong Guining has made up his mind that no one can hurt Hongzhao, not even his biological father.

Niuhulu was retching and feeling happy. She had a premonition that Hongli, who had been late for many years, would finally step onto the stage of history. That was the basis for her comeback and the foundation for her future glory and wealth.

Therefore, it is worth it no matter how uncomfortable it is now.

Tong Guining heard the news that Ling Gege was pregnant. Because of the severe pregnancy reactions, the prince ordered her to take good care of herself and not go out for the time being.

This was fine. Having made up her mind, Tong Guining brought some fresh ingredients and fine ginseng to Niuhulu's room and said, "I heard that my sister was ill. I haven't come to see you for a long time, so I won't disturb you."

Niuhulu was eating sour apricots when she saw Tong Guining coming uninvited. She was not in a good mood. She always looked down on these ants. After all, she was going to be the queen mother in the future: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really can't get up. The prince saw that I was so uncomfortable that he exempted me from paying my respects."

"It's okay. Offspring are more important." After sitting down, Tong Guining suddenly got straight to the point: "To be honest, when I first met you, I didn't expect that we would have the chance to be legitimate sisters in the future."

"His Highness must have loved you very much, so he specially gave you a family background." Tong Guining said with emotion, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to raise your children by yourself, and you would have no hope in your life."

Niuhulu was a little surprised. During this period, she had frequent fights with Li Gege and had also had quarrels with other princesses. After all, being favored meant blocking the way of others. She would rather live a life of endless fighting than return to the Prince Yong's mansion where she was imprisoned.

The Crown Princess has never interfered in the dirty affairs between the princesses. Could it be that her defense has been broken now that she sees that she is pregnant?

"Although I was lucky enough to get Hong Zhao, I am not favored by the prince. I know how to serve people, so you might as well visit the prince more often. With you here to help, I'm sure the prince won't stay in the study all the time." Tong Guining looked gentle and not jealous at all.

Niuhulu felt strange and wondered why the Crown Princess came to tell her all this.

In her dreams, the Crown Princess was always a member of the Guaerjia clan. Perhaps it was because Hongli never appeared that caused a deviation in the plot. The new Crown Princess was a completely new character, and sometimes Nianhulu didn't know how to treat her and Hong Zhao.

You should know that a big part of the reason why Hongli was favored by Kangxi and Prince Yong was that Prince Yong's mansion had no legitimate son at that time, and Hongli was the most outstanding among all the illegitimate sons.

Now, Hongli has escaped Honghui, but cannot escape Hongzhao.

Niuhulu's heart was moved, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you for the trust of the Crown Princess. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Tong Guining achieved her goal and turned to leave. Before leaving, she glanced at the furnishings in the room and found it strange. A young woman in her prime looked old and frail no matter how she was decorated, like a concubine.

Thinking about the ridiculous rumor about the prince, that he had an affair with Kangxi's concubine, it now seems to fit perfectly and there is no contradiction at all.
