Chapter 171: Old capital

Li Wei dragged the suitcase and passed the security check with the boarding pass and ID card in one hand and was preparing to board the plane.
Said that this was her first time on an airplane. She had always longed for the big iron bird flying in the air, but was full of fear. The cameraman followed her on the plane. Her position was close to the aisle, but the cameraman enthusiastically gave her the position by the window.
Li Wei put in his carry-on bag, fastened his seat belt, and looked out through the small window. The plane hadn't taken off yet, so it was no different from taking a car.
The cameraman is a nearly fifty-year-old uncle who has worked in the TV station for more than 20 years. He tilted his head and asked Li Wei: "Is this the first time the little girl takes a plane?"
Li Wei nodded in embarrassment, "Yes, I'm a little scared."
"There is nothing to be afraid of. It only took two hours to fly. If you feel sleepy, just take a nap."
Li Wei nodded and agreed. The air conditioner on the plane was fully turned on, and she had to take off her jacket. It didn't take long for the roar of the machine to be heard, and the plane began to slide forward slowly, still not much different from riding in a car. I don't know how long I taxied on the ground, and then the plane took off slowly. The harsh noise came from which made people feel a little uncomfortable. The uncle cameraman handed Li Wei a piece of gum for her to chew to relieve her tinnitus caused by noise.
As the plane flew higher and higher, Li Wei inevitably felt a little timid, but she still couldn't help but glanced out the window, only to see that the mountains and mountains were already under her feet. After the plane entered the troposphere, it was a little bumpy, and Li Wei's heart also bumped up, her small face turned pale, and she held her seat tightly.
After the plane was completely stable, she dared to look out of the glass window again, but saw that there was already a sea of ​​clouds beneath her feet, and the shock in her heart could no longer be expressed in words.
Two hours passed quickly, and it was only 4:30 in the afternoon when the plane was safely landed. Li Wei dragged his suitcase and got off the plane to wait for the cameraman to pick up the consigned equipment, and took a taxi to the Crown Hotel where he stayed at this film festival.
Chang'an is the capital of Daqi, to some extent Li Wei can be regarded as returning to the old place. Only time has passed and the palaces built during the Daqi period have not been completely preserved.
"Li Wei, have you been to Chang'an before?"
Li Wei shook his head.
The cameraman smiled and said: "I have been here no less than ten times. There are a few attractions worth visiting maybe you can go shopping."
The film festival will not start until tomorrow afternoon, and the awards party will be the night after. This is an ancient city of history and culture. For Li Wei, who likes history, it is indeed worth visiting.
"Okay, I plan to walk around tomorrow morning." Li Wei was embarrassed to invite the uncle cameraman to be her tour guide, so he planned to walk around by himself instead of going to see the remaining ancient palaces and the ancient city walls. , It's just that the time in the morning is inevitably a bit tight.
Li Wei went back to the room, now he found something to fill his stomach, and then went to the reception desk to borrow a travel guide to study some places to visit tomorrow.
Li Wei planned the route by himself, soaked in a hot bath before going to bed. The air conditioner suddenly failed in the middle of the night, and Li Wei was awake from freezing, she pulled over the quilt in a daze.
She woke up at seven o'clock the next day and took the breakfast coupon to the hotel restaurant to eat a meal. During the period, I felt a little pain in my throat, and my heart must be that I had eaten too much in the first two days and I didn't pay much attention to it.
After filling his stomach in a hurry, Li Wei took the map with the camera and went out.
The first place to visit is the ancient city wall. Li Wei stood on the wall without much effort. Although the location of the ancient city wall may not have changed, in fact, this city wall has been repaired by countless future generations. She remembered that the city wall was higher than this when it was still big, and the bricks used were different.
She stood on this city wall and looked towards the palace. There are faintly visible ancient buildings on the north side, but Daqi has a history of several hundred years, and Daqi Dynasty and Guozuo only have a history of more than 100 years. After the demise of Daqi, he went through several dynasties and experienced countless war attacks. I am afraid that even the ruins of Daqi's palace are gone.
Li Wei stood alone on this ancient city wall, with a lonely expression on his face. She raised the camera in her hand and took a photo facing the north.
The former Empress Dowager Li never traveled too much in her life, let alone stood on this wall and looked at the entire capital, but she had seen a map of the capital from the sixth brother. Their family lives in the northwest of Leshanfang, while Ouchi is located in the north. She knows the general direction.
It's a pity that in the past, the clouds and smoke were all submerged in the rolling river of history, but when you look around, you can see tall buildings and bustling streets on the wide streets. There is no trace of the great Qi Jingshi.
Li Wei didn't stay on the ancient city wall for long before coming down. She didn't have much time and planned to visit the ancient palaces.
When she got out of the taxi, she saw a red palace wall and closed her eyes, as if going back to the day when she entered the palace when she was fourteen years old and sat on the sedan chair prepared by Shangshu Mansion.
The weather was gloomy that day, and when she was about to enter the palace gate, she deliberately lifted the curtain and glanced out. What she saw was the high palace wall. Later, this wall isolated her from the outside world. She had only been out of the palace gate three times in the six years she entered the palace. I accompanied the emperor on two outings, and the last time was to send the emperor's coffin into the tomb.
Li Wei bought tickets and followed the route indicated by the tickets.
Looking up, the palaces are still majestic, but they are no longer Daqi palaces, and it is unclear whether they were built on the site of Daqi palaces.
She stepped through the palace gates one after another, as if she had traveled through hundreds of years, and when she looked back, she was still the new widow young queen mother in Chongqing Palace.
She stood outside a vermilion palace gate, and a tour guide introduced to other visitors that this "Shou'an Palace" was the queen dowager's bedroom. From its completion to the fall of the dynasty, the Shou'an Palace had a total of 24 queens.
Li Wei looked up at the golden glazed tiles and kissed the owl sitting on the golden glazed tile. Without Chongqing Palace, the stories she knew and experienced had become yellowish history. She is just an outlier from the cracks of history. For a while, I couldn't help feeling sigh.
Wandering around and looking at several important palaces hurriedly, she wanted to cherish the memory of the past, but she found that the things she cherished no longer existed.
The film festival officially opened in the afternoon, and it was time to go back after spending such a long time outside. Li Wei took a look at his watch. It was 11:40, and he really didn't dare to stay.
Li Wei took a taxi and returned to the Crown Hotel. The organizer was setting up the venue, the red carpet was covered, and the sign-in board stood up. Only the shadow of a star has yet to be seen.
