The next day, Hai Qingyang's injury was completely healed. After giving him the injection, Xiao Mianmian happily went to the lake with her father and mother.
Zhou Ruiyuan had already sent someone to book a boat for this trip to the lake.
Different from the boats they took in the past, this time it was a flower boat prepared by the emperor in the past for his patrol. The boat was divided into three floors, with colorful lanterns inside and sandalwood incense carvings outside. Whether looking from a distance or walking into the boat, You can all feel the gorgeousness coming from it.
Du Wanchun slowly stepped onto the boat with the support of the palace maid Dong'er. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The old emperor would still enjoy it. Such a boat would probably cost a lot of money.
The Zhou family is not short of money now, but Du Wanchun often proposes to be frugal. With such luxurious things, Zhou Ruiyuan can only give out his dead father's things to comfort his wife.
He knew that since they were assassinated by the Nanyi people, Du Wanchun had been a little uneasy and often worried about this matter.
I took them out to play today, hoping that she could put aside her worries for the time being. ?.?????.???
"Wan Chun, come here, I specially asked people to prepare a lot of pastries that you and Mian Mian like to eat." Zhou Ruiyuan welcomed Du Wanchun into the cabin and went up to the third floor together.
There are tables, chairs and a chaise longue on the third floor.
The table was filled with food, including exquisite pastries, various preserves, and some rare fruits.
These things are different from those in the palace. They are all specially transported from Cheng'an County.
Although they are the food of ordinary people, they are full of memories.
Xiao Mianmian poked her head out from behind Du Wanchun and said with a smile: "Daddy! Here is my favorite peanut candy!"
Zhou Ruiyuan came over, picked her up, and then picked up a piece of peanut candy and handed it to her, "Not just peanut candy, but also osmanthus cake, cloud cake..."
There were too many, so Zhou Ruiyuan mentioned a few at random.
Xiao Mianmian took the peanut candy and started eating it.
The peanut candy in Cheng'an County is different from other places. The candy is coated with a layer of body-flavored five-spice powder, giving it a fresh and sweet taste when eaten.
Xiao Mianmian used to buy some whenever she went out on the street, but Du Wanchun was afraid that eating too much would be bad for her teeth, so she could only eat two pieces at a time.
There is a whole plate of peanut cake on the table today.
Zhou Ruiyuan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious! Daddy is so kind~" Xiao Mianmian ate until her cheeks bulged, her eyebrows curved and she smiled softer than the spring breeze.
Du Wanchun and his daughter couldn't help laughing in front of them.
Feifei behind her also sneaked to the table and grabbed a handful of candies.
He now walks very steadily and does not need anyone to hold him.
Du Wanchun knelt down and was about to wipe his hands for him. Unexpectedly, he handed the candy in his hand to Xiao Mianmian.
She smiled and accepted it for Xiao Mianmian, "You, you, the eldest brother and the second brother dote on your third sister, and you dote on your third sister too."
Even though Feifei is the youngest, he is not pretentious at all. He treats his sister as his doting sister. As long as he has anything, he will give it to Mianmian first.
Mianmian also took good care of her youngest brother. In the palace, if any young eunuch dared to be harsh on Feifei, she would immediately drive that person out of the palace.
As a princess, she treats her servants without mercy.
Feifei then took another piece of pastry and handed it to Du Wanchun's mouth, "Mother, eat it too."
"If you want it, mother, eat it." Du Wanchun took the cake in his hand and slowly stood up and walked out of the cabin.
Going outside the cabin on the third floor, there is an open deck just like the first floor. Standing on the deck and looking down, you will see the outside of the first floor.
Yi'er and Yu'er followed Mr. Yuan and sat on the edge, looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake and reciting poems together.
When they saw Du Wanchun coming, they quickly stood up and said, "Mother~"
"Empress!"
Du Wanchun was really not used to being called empress, so she smiled at Mr. Yuan and said, "In the future, when no one is around, you should call me Shopkeeper Du."
Mr. Yuan really didn't adapt to the palace's routine. He rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Du."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and wanted to say something, but he hesitated and never spoke.
Du Wanchun guessed what he wanted to say and said slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qingyang's injury is not serious. He will be fully recovered in about ten days and a half."
The anxiety in Mr. Yuan's eyebrows disappeared instantly and turned into a smile of relief, "That's good, I've been worried about him these past few days."
Du Wanchun slowly walked towards the side of the boat, "Mr. Yuan, he will be fine now under the care of the palace physician."
After she finished speaking, she slowly looked at the rolling lake, "Mr. Yuan, how about the new mansion?"
Mr. Yuan and Hai Qingyang were both teachers of Yier Yuer and Mianmian. Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun gave them two houses outside the palace.
Mr. Yuan hurriedly saluted and said: "The house is very nice. Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Du and the Emperor for their kindness."
Du Wanchun raised his head and looked at him, "Thanks to you and Qingyang for taking care of Yi'er and Yu'er all these years, you all deserve it, but you are now grown up and have not yet married, so the mansion must have a mistress. "
Mr. Yuan smiled and said: "Qingyang has always had a sweetheart, but I..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and accidentally glanced at Dong'er, who was not far behind Du Wanchun.
