Chapter 423: First Update on Shangsi Festival(1)_1
The Jade Palace, where the Empress resides, has two courtyards, both front and rear. The front hall of the front courtyard is the Jade Palace itself, consisting of five spacious rooms, three of which are in a portico, along with an additional three rooms each in the east and west wings. However, the Empress doesn't usually stay in the front yard but resides in the Flower House in the backyard instead.
The Flower House, named for the hundreds, if not thousands, of rare flowers growing within it, also has five spacious rooms, along with side rooms on each side. Three temples each on the east and west, the colourful glazed tiles, the frescoes painted beneath the eaves, the modest and serene palace maids and eunuchs all contributed to giving the entire palace a rich royal atmosphere.
