Liu Che didn't care much when Liu Tan fell in. For safety reasons, the water in the entire pool was not deep. The deepest part was only up to Liu Tan's chest, not to mention the shallow pool, which was only up to his waist.
When they came down, they rowed all the way from the deep water area, and the shore where they docked was the shallow water area.
However, Liu Tan fell down after being frightened. He couldn't swim, and at that moment he forgot that he could just stand up in the shallow water and nothing would happen. As a result, he struggled in the water and caused a disaster.
Liu Che was startled by him, while Lu Xuan next to him had recovered from his fear of heights.
Or perhaps Liu Tan's entry into the water immediately relieved him from that state. In an instant, he threw aside the feeling of fear and the urge to look outside, and jumped down, hugged Liu Tan from behind and helped him stand up.
Lu Xuan hugged Liu Tan from behind not to take advantage of him, but mainly because if he hugged Liu Tan from the front, it would be easy for him to catch him in a panic.
No matter who it is, they can burst out with huge potential at this moment. Even if Liu Tan is thin, he is still within the standard body size range. Even if he is entangled by him in shallow water, the final result may be that both of them sink to the bottom.
After Lu Xuan hugged Liu Tan, Liu Tan slowly calmed down after having support, and stood in the pool with Lu Xuan's strength.
After recovering, I couldn't help but lie down by the pool and let out a long sigh.
Just for a moment he really thought he was going to drown, although... he looked down and saw that the water level was only up to his waist. It seemed a bit embarrassing to drown in shallow water.
But he was quite exhausted at this moment and had no time to think about whether he was embarrassed or not.
Liu Che squatted down, touched his son's head, pinched his face to comfort him, and then said in a subtle tone: "You can't swim."
Since he can't swim, he must not be a water monster, but...how did he see the Crystal Palace?
Liu Tan looked up at Liu Che, his eyes and expression still hinting at shock, and he looked pitiful.
Lu Xuan then lifted his body and helped him get ashore.
Liu Tan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go...let's go."
It's no wonder you can't swim! Learn about the Northern Landlubbers!
Liu Che patted his head again and said, "Okay, find a place to rest. You don't have to follow me anymore."
Liu Tan opened his mouth, but Liu Che waved his hand and said, "It's not like there's no one to serve us, and the King of Wusun is here."
Liu Tan glanced at Lu Xuan and happened to see that Lu Xuan had lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts. He looked at Lu Xuan with some sympathy and opened his mouth to make an excuse for Lu Xuan, but he heard Lu Xuan say softly, "Yes, you should have a good rest."
So Liu Tan could only watch Lu Xuan follow Liu Che away, and couldn't help but light a candle for Lu Xuan in his heart.
Come on, why don’t you just say you’re afraid of heights directly? Why do you insist on being stubborn?
Since he didn't say anything, Liu Tan didn't want to expose his shortcomings, so he could only run to the rest area on the side to watch them play on the slide.
Liu Che obviously had a special liking for the slide and he played it several times in a row. But no one else dared to go until the emperor came on.
It was not until Liu Che was exhausted and came to rest that he allowed the remaining officials to go up and have a good time.
Of course, the kayak must have been changed several times.
The rest area on the shore imitates a beach, with a pile of screened fine sand spread out there, and on it are lounge chairs and parasols made by craftsmen according to Liu Tan's instructions.
There is a table next to each lounge chair with an ice jar on it. Inside the jar are chilled fruits and pre-made shaved ice, which can be eaten directly with jam.
Liu Che was not used to the reclining chair at first, but once he lay down on it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "After all, you little brat really know how to enjoy yourself."
This recliner is made of wooden poles and sturdy cloth. Although it has no telescopic properties, it is indeed very comfortable to lie on.
Liu Tan shook his feet and said with a smile: "If the emperor likes it, he can take it away when he returns."
Liu Che lay on the recliner, glanced at the drink in the glass beside him, and couldn't help but pick up the glass curiously and asked, "What is this?"
Liu Tan turned around and saw him fiddling with a reed stuck in the glass, so he said, "I call this a straw. I originally wanted to make glass, but I didn't have time. Fortunately, a reed is also good."
This glass cup was different from any Liu Che had seen before. It had a lid with a hole in it, and the reed stem was passed through that hole. Apart from that, the rest of the glass was basically sealed.
After Liu Che took a sip from the reed stem, he immediately understood the benefit of this - he could drink as he pleased while lying down, without having to worry about the juice spilling on his body.
Liu Che shook the iced juice in his hand and happened to hear other officials who had just sat down to rest discussing straw cups.
Liu Che heard those people say, "It's really an eye-opener to follow His Majesty on his northern tour. I've never seen a water cup like this before."
Liu Che thought to himself, not to mention you, I have never seen such a person before.
Liu Tan turned to look at Liu Che and said, "Father, please use less of these ice creams. It will be time for dinner soon."
That’s right. It took some time to get from Lianye Lake to the water park, then we had to change clothes and play on the slide. Now we haven’t even played on the slide yet and it’s almost noon.
Liu Che was not in a hurry. All the things were there anyway, so he could play with them whenever he wanted.
As for lunch, Liu Che had already made simple preparations. After all, there didn't seem to be a place to cook here. However, what he didn't expect was that Liu Tan actually had someone spread a mat on the ground, and then took out portions of food in celadon utensils.
Most of these foods are cold. After all, they are prepared in advance, and there is no place to heat them up. Fortunately, it is summer now, and Liu Tan basically brought out barbecued meat, grilled chicken and other easy-to-carry foods.
So this time he made the lunch feel like a picnic at the beach.
There's nothing particularly new about these dishes, but picnics are often all about the atmosphere.
In the past, even when Liu Che was traveling, someone would deliver hot meals and dishes to his carriage. The only inconvenience of traveling was probably that he could not listen to music or enjoy dancing.
However, this habit has almost disappeared in the Northern Border Kingdom. Maybe it's because he brought back Hu Ji last time, but after Liu Che arrived in the Northern Border Kingdom this time, Liu Tan almost guarded against him to the death, wishing not to let even a female mosquito get close to Liu Che.
In fact, he also knew that it was normal for Liu Che to have a concubine, but the problem was that even though he knew it, he might not be able to accept it emotionally.
How could he just watch Liu Che surrounded by women and not care?
Anyway, he had arranged a full schedule for Liu Che, and the palace maids serving in Changshou Palace were basically above average in appearance. If Liu Che took a fancy to someone and wanted her to sleep with him at night, he could only pretend not to know.
Even these palace maids were selected for this purpose. Anyway, as long as Liu Che did not cling to his favorite concubine in front of him, it would be fine.
If someone else had done this, Liu Che would have thought that his son was ignorant and would have ignored him.
But when it comes to Liu Tan, he thinks Liu Tan's little thoughts look a little cute.
This is the emperor's double standard. If he likes something, everything is fine. If he doesn't like something, then everything he does is wrong.
What's more, apart from the fact that there were only a bunch of old men and no beauties to accompany him during the trip, he had no complaints about the itinerary arranged by Liu Tan.
Moreover, even if there was no beauty, Liu Che would not think it was a big deal. Even if there really was a stunningly beautiful woman standing here at this moment, her attraction to him might not be comparable to that fun and exciting slide.
Especially the elevator and slide are matched together, and the elevator is also very interesting.
Liu Tan's original plan was to spend part of the time playing on the slide and part of the time playing on the ramp, but Liu Che had a special liking for the elevator and the slide, and he played for the whole day and still felt unsatisfied. In the end, Liu Tan had no choice but to postpone the trip for a day, and the group returned to the tree house to stay for another day.
The next day, Liu Che turned around and started playing on the slide. Compared to the slide, the slide actually seemed more exciting. When playing on the slide, there was always a kayak to ensure safety, and there was also a safety belt on the body.
The slide is to slide directly down into the water.
In fact, before today, Liu Tan couldn't imagine what Liu Che would look like playing on the slide. It felt like... his character was a bit broken.
But there is always a kind of people who can enjoy these kind of amusement rides that can easily ruin their image without making people feel that their image has collapsed.
Liu Che was such a person. Just by sitting there, he could make the slide look like a royal throne. When sliding down, Liu Che did not have a blank expression, but a smile on his face. However, his expression was not out of control, and he could even adjust his posture before entering the water.
Liu Che was like this, and so was Lu Xuan. Liu Tan squatted beside them and watched for a long time, feeling deeply that even if he really had a camera at this moment to take pictures, he might not be able to take ugly pictures of these two people.
Compared to them, the performance of other officials was much more ordinary. Some of them had uncontrollable expressions, and some even plunged into the water in the end.
But everyone had a lot of fun, and no one thought it was bad.
After playing on the slides enough, we had basically tried all the projects in the water park. The only thing left was whether Liu Che wanted to go back.
In fact, Liu Che really didn't want to leave this place. In the past, when he was in Chang'an or on tour in the east, he had the opportunity to go swimming, but the problem was that compared to this water park, it seemed extremely boring.
But Liu Che also knew that they could not stay here any longer. Both he and Liu Tan had to go back to deal with government affairs.
Liu Tan was fine. With Huo Guang and the others watching over him, he wasn't too worried. He didn't usually have to take care of everything anyway. Huo Guang did a good job, so there was no need for him to intervene.
But Liu Che couldn't do that. Liu Ju, the regent prince, had no power in many matters. He could only send proposals or documents as quickly as possible, write down his own opinions at most, and then see whether Liu Che would adopt them.
Coincidentally, just as Liu Tan and Liu Che returned to Shuofang City, Gongshu Can brought good news: the model of the dragon bone waterwheel had been completed.
