The Secret History of Mars

The group accepted Yuan Yizhou's suggestion and walked along the steps of the castle's outer wall to the rooftop. This way they could avoid crowding with the chaotic clone nannies who were busy transporting corpses indoors.

"Qinghe, I have a question that has been on my mind since the first time I saw Miemeng Gallery!" Cui Xingmeng walked side by side with Ye Qinghe, following Yuan Yizhou.

"what is the problem?"

"Don't you always like the royal gardens of the Qing Dynasty? Why did you choose the shape of a European castle in the Miemeng Gallery where you are most often stationed?" Cui Xingmeng still remembers the first time he visited Ye Qinghe's Tongshu Garden. , the carved corridors, painted columns, red walls and green tiles are majestic.

As for Miemeng Gallery, except for the twelve animal heads on the main road, there is a little bit of ancient style. The entire gallery has a pure castle style.

"The Mie Meng Gallery was not like this at the beginning!" Ye Qinghe smiled knowingly, but he did not expect that after thousands of years, someone would notice his little thoughts.

"You are right, the royal garden has always been my favorite. The original appearance of Miemeng Gallery was in the shape of an octagonal building, not the castle it is today!" When it came to his favorite topic, Ye Qinghe was completely lost. That seriousness and indifference.

"Octagonal Building?!" When Cui Xingmeng heard the name, his mind instantly pictured the Ming and Qing mansion, a duplex building on the Xumizuo, covered with yellow glazed tiles and with a gilded copper roof.

"Yes, Miemeng Gallery does not exist independently. It is part of my Tongshu Garden!" Ye Qinghe is still not proud of his own design. "Do you still remember what my Tongshu Garden looks like?"

"Of course I remember, that square and majestic look, it's more difficult to forget!" Cui Xingmeng told the truth, and of course he did not hesitate to praise Ye Qinghe.

"Yes, the Miemeng Gallery was originally a building at the northwest corner of Tongshuyuan. Therefore, I borrowed the concept of 'turret' from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When not on business, it would be parked in the corner of Tongshuyuan. It is natural; even when you are away from official duties, you can be independent and self-contained.”

"Wow, such a design concept is really great!" Cui Xingmeng was an auctioneer in his previous life. He had never seen ancient buildings, but he only saw the ruins of the walls that had accumulated over time, or those that were well protected by modern civilization. , a sample only for viewing.

I have never truly experienced the true function of these architects in designing these masterpieces.

"Then why didn't you keep the design of the turret and replaced it with a European castle?" Since the turret and Tongshu Garden share the same origin, Cui Xingmeng can't understand why the Miemeng Gallery looks like a castle now.

"Have you ever wondered why when you saw the current Miemeng Gallery, you thought it was a European-style castle?" Ye Qinghe asked.

Cui Xingmeng didn't understand Ye Qinghe's true meaning. He raised his head and looked at the castle that was already halfway up. He really couldn't tell why.

"In this castle, there lives a wandering soul. It is a seed that I cultivated in Europe two hundred years ago." Ye Qinghe didn't seem to be expecting Cui Xingmeng to answer his own question, but continued to talk, with an inexplicable sadness in his tone.

"Two hundred years ago, Europe was still in the divided era of monarchy. Your seed was a noble?" Cui Xingmeng's sensitivity to history stems from her professionalism as an auctioneer.

"Well, he is the King of Bavaria!" Ye Qinghe nodded.

Cui Xingmeng only knew that the Shiyiji seeds cultivated by Ye Qinghe were either rich or noble, but he did not expect that he could directly become the king of a country.

"He is also the initiator and builder of Swan Lake Castle!" Ye Qinghe added.

"So, the shape of Miemeng Gallery is the Swan Lake Castle!!" Cui Xingmeng suddenly realized, no wonder it looked so familiar!

The castle in the opening credits of the Disney movie is also the cartoon image of Swan Lake Castle, so this castle has almost become the default appearance of European castles in modern civilization!

"Yes, Swan Lake Castle was one of his palaces, and it was also the place where he was finally imprisoned and died!" Ye Qinghe's tone was still sad, but he was more relieved.

"Why was he imprisoned here?" Cui Xingmeng always felt that there was a heart-stirring story in it.

"Because he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have loved, and his forbidden love would destroy the peace treaty between Bavaria and Prussia. Therefore, the ministers united with the church to judge their king and imprisoned him in a prison that had not yet been established. In the completed Swan Lake Castle!" In that century, Ye Qinghe believed in letting nature take its course. He always just watched his own seeds sinking and rising in the hustle and bustle of the world while standing idly by.

What happened to the King of Bavaria completely subverted her beliefs and made her feel that she was also responsible and occasionally interfered with the seeds' life scripts.

"Who did he fall in love with?" Cui Xingmeng's intuition was indeed correct. Not only was there a story, but it was also a love tragedy!

"His cousin, the princess who was sent to the Prussian palace to marry, the future Queen of Prussia!" Ye Qinghe had seen that princess. It was not so much that the King of Bavaria started a forbidden love, but that the princess was too grown up and was causing disaster to the country and the people. , ordinary princes and nobles are bound to fall in love at first sight, let alone her childhood sweetheart and cousin who grew up together.

"Does that princess like him?" Cui Xingmeng asked curiously.

"That princess later became the most successful queen in the history of Prussia. With her stunning charm and superb diplomatic skills, she expanded Prussia's territory to almost the entire European continent!" Ye Qinghe paused slightly.

"The poor king is just one of the many suitors of the princess." Cui Xingmeng originally thought that it would be a two-way love but could not fall in love. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be unrequited love.

"It was precisely because they were afraid that the King of Bavaria would fall under his cousin's skirt and surrender to Prussia that the Prussian nobles and the church killed the king and put the king under house arrest and tortured him!" Ye Qinghe still remembers how sloppy the poor Phoenix can be. and humiliation.

"What happened next?" Cui Xingmeng was a little surprised by the direction of the story.

"Later, he didn't even have anyone to talk to, so I pretended to be a craftsman in the castle and killed him." Ye Qinghe recalled that it was also at that time that she began to dabble in European civilization.

“I finally understood the concept and every exquisite detail of the design of Swan Lake Castle. Unknowingly, I became a supporter of his design!

It's a pity that God was jealous of talents. My seed left no descendants, so he hated Jiuquan. Before he died, he told me to bring his dream of Swan Lake Castle to reality! "

"So you transformed the Miemeng Gallery into the shape of Swan Lake Castle?" (End of Chapter)
