Sheng Li brought Ying Lili to the Pavilion of Flowers, which was the main garden of the Courtyard. Earlier in the day, he had ordered the servants to put a swing in the garden.
The swing ropes were decorated with flower vines which were hung from an oak tree. Sheng Li made Ying Lili sit on the swing whose eyes glistened upon seeing the picturesque view of the garden.
The courtyard had a small pond in the center with lotuses. A wooden zig-zag path was also constructed above the pond so that one can view the crystal clear water and the tiny fishes moving. On the other side, different kinds of flowers were planted which could soothe out the soul of a person. Since the residence was on a height higher than the Imperial Palace, the gigantic mountain peak could be seen from every part of the Residence.
