The Green Lotus Pond is located on the west side of the palace. It was built by the emperor for the empress when he first ascended the throne. Unfortunately, it later became a place where other favored concubines fought over each other.
There are a lot of blue jade stones here, so it is named Qinglianchi.
The pool is filled with hot spring water brought from the mountains near the palace at a large price. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, the pool is surrounded by white smoke, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
Du Wanchun had never been here before, so he was really looking forward to hearing what Zhou Ruiyuan said.
In the afternoon of the next day, she followed a group of palace maids to the courtyard of Qinglian Pond, where she could feel waves of heat as soon as she entered.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to come here and wait for him first." The palace maid lowered her head and whispered.
Du Wanchun had been in the palace for some time, but he was still not used to being served by so many people. He asked them to step aside with a smile, "You don't have to follow me all the time, step down and take a rest." ?.? ????.???
The palace ladies liked this gentle princess very much, so they obediently placed the things beside the pool and carefully exited the courtyard.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Du Wanchun raised his eyes and saw them leaving, then slowly walked to the edge of the pool.
The pool is an irregular oval, with water flowing from high to low, and there is no end in sight under the shroud of white mist.
Du Wanchun sat by the pool and gently took a spoonful of water with his hand.
The water in the pool is warm, a very comfortable temperature. When you put your feet down, you instantly feel the warmth surge up, making all the bones in your body soften.
She squinted her eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the emperor really knows how to enjoy it.
The heat in the pool is coming out little by little.
Du Wanchun couldn't help but feel drowsy while soaking her feet, and the fatigue came out of her body. She leaned against the tables beside her, supported her chin with her hands, closed her eyes and took a nap.
The fragrance of pear blossoms burned in the courtyard, passing through her nose and making her whole body feel soothed. It was as if she was in a deserted pear blossom bush, peaceful and peaceful, and the fatigue on her body had receded a lot.
Du Wanchun here is waiting for Zhou Ruiyuan to join him in the Qinglian Pond.
Over there, Zhou Ruiyuan had already brought the eunuchs and guards to Han Mansion.
When Zhou Feng saw his sudden huge formation, he immediately came to the door to greet him.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng were close brothers, so he was not polite and called him to the study alone.
Zhou Feng asked doubtfully: "Brother, why are you so anxious to come to Han Mansion to find me?"
Zhou Ruiyuan sat down and asked him, "How are the two younger siblings doing?"
Zhou Feng's eyes were a little blue because of worry in the past few days, but when he thought that both the adults and the child were fine, he smiled with relief: "Yan'er's health is much better, and the child is saved. The doctor has visited me several times. It is said that Yan'er is really lucky, and it is really rare to be able to keep her child like this."
Zhou Ruiyuan asked again: "Did Doctor Xu tell you why the second sibling suddenly had a miscarriage this time?"
Zhou Feng slowly stopped smiling and said, "I said that someone gave Yan'er ten times the amount of abortion pills."
Zhou Ruiyuan then returned to the topic, "I came here this time to tell you about this matter. Second brother, you have to protect your wife. If someone dares to attack you this time, they will be even more aggressive in the future." .”
Zhou Feng's face darkened slightly, "Yan'er and I have been in the capital for several years and have not offended anyone."
Zhou Ruiyuan stood up, walked to the door twice, turned his head and said, "If you think about it again, have you really not offended anyone?"
Zhou Feng thought for a moment and still shook his head.
Zhou Ruiyuan lowered his voice and said again: "Where are the women?"
Zhou Feng frowned slightly and was thinking hard, when a voice suddenly called from outside the door: "Uncle, can you make white fungus soup for the lady for dinner today?"
It was the cook's voice.
Zhou Feng responded: "Okay, remember to put more brown sugar, Yan'er likes sweet things."
"Yes, uncle." The person outside the room replied softly, and then retreated.
Zhou Ruiyuan opened the window and looked at the people outside. He saw a young woman who looked familiar. He asked Zhou Feng, "Who is this?"
Zhou Feng followed his gaze and said slowly: "This is the sister of He Bricklayer in Changliu Village."
Zhou Ruiyuan thought carefully after hearing this, "Are you talking about the bricklayer who built our house in the past?"
Zhou Feng nodded and continued: "Yes, that's the one. His sister came to the capital a year ago to find relatives. Unfortunately, her relatives had already passed away. I saw that she was from the same hometown as us and built a house for our family. , I took her in to work in the shop out of good intentions."
"It's just that later..." Zhou Feng stopped talking.
Zhou Ruiyuan asked: "What happened next?"
Zhou Feng sighed and replied: "Later, she showed her courtesy in front of me several times and said she wanted to be my concubine."
"Being a concubine?" Zhou Ruiyuan clearly sensed something was wrong.
Zhou Feng was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "Of course I didn't agree. In order to prevent Yan'er from worrying too much, I gave her a sum of money and asked her to return to her hometown."
Zhou Ruiyuan knew that Zhou Feng had always been decisive in doing things, so he was not surprised to hear what he said, but why was this person still staying in Han Mansion at this time?
He cast a doubtful look at Zhou Feng.
