Chapter 193 193. Visiting the Forbidden City
Zhou Pan originally planned to take Shi Liu to visit the Forbidden City and other historical sites, but when his superiors learned that he was coming to Beijing, they summoned him directly.
Shi Liu looked at Zhou Pan with some regret and said, "Why are you so busy——"
Zhou Pan hugged Shi Liu apologetically and said, "We have to do something." This might be his biggest gain from being reborn here.
Shi Liu shook her head, indicating that she didn't care: "I'm just sighing. What you are doing is a good thing. How could I stop you?" The greater a person's ability, the greater his responsibility. Zhou Pan is obviously a person with high ability.
Zhou Pan said to Zhou Laoliu, "Laoliu, this is your sister-in-law's first time in Beijing and she's not very familiar with the situation here. Take her around and don't go to places you shouldn't go."
Zhou Liu nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I know what's going on." He knew that his big brother was worried that they were being plotted against. It was obvious that the Xu family and others were setting up a trap, so they had to be careful.
Shi Liu didn’t plan to go to any strange places on the first day, so he simply chose the Forbidden City as his first stop.
Zhou Liu was a Beijing native and knew the Forbidden City very well. Upon hearing this, he took Shi Liu with him and ran to the Forbidden City without any hesitation.
"The buildings within the Forbidden City are divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Court. The center of the Outer Court is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, collectively known as the Three Great Halls, where grand state ceremonies are held. The center of the Inner Court is the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Union and Peace, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility..."
Listening to Zhou Liu's familiar introduction, Shi Liu felt more and more that the two spaces were parallel spaces, otherwise there would not be so many similar buildings.
[Found the check-in location at the main gate of the Forbidden City. Do you want to spend 1 check-in point to check in?]
Shi Liu thought about what she had gained from signing in at the gate in the past, which were either models or maps. Although she had no shortage of sign-in points now, she couldn't waste them casually, so she simply clicked [No].
As they walked, they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Zhou Liu enthusiastically introduced the scene, saying, "The Hall of Supreme Harmony is a symbol of imperial power. It was the venue for grand ceremonies during the Ming and Qing dynasties, including the emperor's enthronement, weddings, the enthronement of the empress, and major celebrations such as the annual Spring Festival, the Winter Solstice Festival, the emperor's birthday, the announcement of the list of successful candidates, the dispatch of generals to battle, and banquets."
Zhou Liu then added mysteriously, "There's a rumor going around that this was originally the site of the Tianfeng Dynasty, but it was later demolished and rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty. However, there are unofficial records that when the Ming Dynasty first moved its capital, a lot of trouble arose."
Shi Liu curled her lips slightly. This was not just a legend. In fact, the ruins of the Tianfeng Dynasty's palace were located underground in the Forbidden City. She had heard this from Prince Fengming by chance.
The Tianfeng Dynasty dates back a long time, and the geography has remained constant and shifted, causing many mountains, rivers, and lakes to become dislocated. It's unclear what the feng shui master who consulted with the Zhu family chose, but he chose to locate the Forbidden City on the site. The Ming Dynasty's Xuanqiong Palace is the site of Prince Fengming's former East Palace.
It is indeed a good place with excellent feng shui, otherwise it would not have been favored by the last two dynasties. However, the demise of the Tianfeng Dynasty was not normal in itself. It was mixed with the heinous crimes of a large number of mystics. It would be strange if nothing happened.
Shi Liu curled her lips and smiled: "Have you ever been to the Xuanqiong Palace?"
Zhou Liu raised his eyebrows proudly. "You'd have to say I've actually been there. Walking into the courtyard of the Xuanqiong Palace, it felt like I'd traveled through time, as if I'd been to another world. It's a pity that the Xuanqiong Palace generally doesn't allow tourists in. I only managed to sneak in with my good friend."
"There are very few records of it in history books. It's been sealed in the dust for hundreds of years, untouched. It really is like a paradise. They say they can't bear to disturb this hard-earned 'pure land,' but I don't believe it."
Shi Liu was not surprised. The matter of Xuanqiong Palace was definitely not simple. The higher-ups might have known about it and that was why they sealed it. As for Zhou Liu saying that he felt like he had traveled through time, the issue of aura had to be mentioned.
The lineage of Prince Fengming was exterminated by Emperor Feng Zheng, so naturally they were filled with resentment. But Prince Fengming and Prince Rui happened to have the fate of an emperor, like the Purple Star God descended to the mortal world. The resentment caused by such people dying prematurely due to evil spells was even more terrifying. Therefore, after Prince Fengming, the Eastern Palace was abandoned, and any descendants of Feng Zheng would die there if they moved in.
The emperor's purple aura and resentment condensed together to produce a special aura. Royal family members would feel a strong sense of oppression when entering, and people who had no connection with the royal family would feel a sense of being torn apart by time and space when entering.
Master Bai Luosang had told her that the master who designed the feng shui for the Zhu family was indeed a master. Building the Xuanqiong Palace on the East Palace, where the resentment was the heaviest, could not only slowly dissipate the remaining resentment, but if done properly, it could even gain the protection of Prince Fengming.
Unfortunately, no matter how well the ancestors of the Zhu family planned, they could not foresee the occurrence of accidents.
Originally, under the operation of the Zhu family for many years, the resentment had begun to subside. Unfortunately, under extreme repression, the royal family members actually chose to come here to have an affair. Having an affair is immoral, and this action has stimulated the resentment. So don't even think about protecting them. It's all thanks to the good temper of Prince Fengming and others that they didn't retaliate against them.
Although he didn't know what exactly happened on Saturday, he always felt something was wrong since he had never been there again after the first time.
But today is Saturday, so I can't be timid: "If my sister-in-law wants to go and have a look, I'll ask my buddy to take you there. He's been repairing cultural relics there recently."
Shi Liu really wanted to go and see it. After all, Prince Fengming was her master, and she wanted to take her master to see the place where he lived. However, looking at Zhou Liu's timid look, Shi Liu said with some reluctance, "If you're afraid, forget it. I'll come by myself next time I have a chance."
Zhou Liu shook his head repeatedly: "Hey, sister-in-law, you underestimate me too much. I just feel weird, not scared."
Shi Liu caught a glimpse of the goose bumps on Zhou Liu's arms. Tsk, he was so scared but still trying to be brave. However, it shouldn't be a big deal, so she finally followed Zhou Liu into the Xuanqiong Palace.
As soon as Shi Liu stepped into the gate of Xuanqiong Palace, he heard the familiar system sound.
[Discover the sign-in area at the abandoned Fengming Temple ruins. Do you need to spend 3 sign-in points to sign in?]
Upon hearing this, Shi Liu's eyes flashed. It turned out to be the sign-in place of Fengming Palace. It seemed that the things obtained after signing in should be related to the Tianfeng Dynasty, and they were most likely good things, otherwise there would be no need for a 3 o'clock sign-in point.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and receiving Fengmingqin*1]
"Fengming Qin?" Shi Liu muttered. She seemed to have heard the Crown Princess say that Prince Fengming was very versatile and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He even liked to make pianos and chess pieces by himself. This Fengming Qin was probably made by Prince Fengming himself.
Looking at the Fengmingqin in the space, Shi Liu felt that she had made a fortune by signing in this time. The only pity was that she couldn't play the qin. Perhaps she should take this opportunity to find a successor to the guqin skills.
