"My young master, the Fourth Prince is currently residing in the South Third Residence. I will first help you put on your clothes and then take you there."
Nansanso got its name because it is located south of Ningshou Palace. It is also called A'gesuo. The princes of the Qing Dynasty usually lived with their mothers when they were young. When they reached school age, they would move out of their mother's palace and live in Nansanso specially prepared for them. This situation would continue until they became adults and left the palace to set up their own homes.
"Dexi, I'll be moving here in a few months when I get admitted. It's still early, so let's take a good look around the South Third Campus. I want to choose a courtyard that I like so I can live comfortably."
After entering the palace, Yinzuo didn't rush to find Yinzhen. After all, it was still early, and his fourth brother was still studying hard in the Shangshufang. He thought that he would move here from Yonghe Palace soon, so he wanted to choose carefully, preferably one that was close to his fourth brother. Firstly, it would be easier to cultivate their relationship, and secondly, it was a place he would live for more than ten years. Although the courtyards here were all similar, he had to choose one that suited his taste!
"Oh, my little master, this is not something you can decide on your own. According to convention, the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranges the rooms according to the order of seniority of the princes. You see, the courtyard we just entered belongs to the eldest prince. The crown prince lives in Yuqing Palace, so the next one is the third prince's, but he has been ill recently and is not living here. Next to the third prince is the fourth prince's courtyard, and after that is the fifth prince's, and so on. When this place is full, the princes who come in will be arranged to the next door."
Dexi didn't stop Yinzuo from strolling around. Since all the people living there were princes, there was no taboo. When she heard that Yinzuo wanted to choose the courtyard himself, Dexi quickly gave him some knowledge about the Qing Palace.
