Facing the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess seemed hesitant to speak.

The prince smiled and said, "Okay! Have a good rest these days. Don't think too much!" Then he got into the car.

The Crown Princess' eyes are like knives. If they could kill people, Jiang Pingting would have died many times.

Jiang Pingting is well behaved, but her face is not flattering and her shoulders are very straight. She has no restrained malice towards the Crown Princess, and she is not at all nervous!

The Crown Prince had an expressionless face. No matter what his mother and wife thought, he didn't care!

When they arrived at the city gate, Wen Yu's carriage stopped at the gate and Qi Wu rode his horse beside the carriage.

When the prince travels, his configuration in all aspects is second only to that of the emperor. This is because the trip is in a hurry, otherwise, the road would have to be cleared in advance.

At the Xuanji Camp, the Crown Prince personally appointed Qi Wu.

The convoy did not stop, but just let Wen Yu's car join in.

This time, Lan Zhou also took the turtle with him in the car...

He also came, the reason was: Yan Zhu knew that he was traveling with the Crown Prince, the Grandson of the Emperor, and the Queen Mother, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He turned around on the spot, and his hands were clenched so nervously that they hurt.

Finally, he was comforted by Master Qing.

I don't know how to say it, there are hot springs and ponds over there. Yan Zhu said: "It would be great if we could go there safely, and we can even swim in the pond."

I have woken up from hibernation safely. I have been eating, basking in the sun and taking a bath all day.

But no matter how big the basin is, it is not as big as the pond.

I don’t know whether it was Li Tan who taught him or Lan Zhou himself who became cunning.

He got up early, put the cat in the cage and waited at the gate.

No matter how Yan Zhu tried to persuade him, he refused to go back.

Wen Yu also tried to persuade him when she came to pick him up, but Lan Zhou just pulled the shaft of the cart and refused to move.

The two of them looked at him with worry. If they forced him to go back, he would get sick again... Who could bear this? !

The two of them were brave, looked at each other and said, "Okay, take it with you." Then they asked Li Tan to prepare the things.

Li Tan had packed it up long ago and came out with it...

…

The villa is built on the mountain and by the water, and there is a hot spring at the foot of the mountain.

The mountains to the north block the wind and face the sun, so the temperature is higher than in the city.

The anxious mountain flowers are in full bloom, and the grass is green. It is full of vitality.

The prince got out of the car, looked around, took a deep breath, and felt much better.

Wen Yu and Yan Zhu, come first to pay homage to the prince.

The prince was admiring the scenery when he saw two women coming over there.

One is elegant, the other is pretty. Holding hands, both smiling...

The fluttering spring clothes are so pleasing to the eyes!

The prince looked at Qi Wu and asked, "Qi Wu, who is your fiancée?!"

Qi Wu's ears turned red. He replied honestly, "Your Highness, the one on the right."

The prince laughed out loud.

The Crown Prince, however, had a sullen face and was very dissatisfied.

Jiang Pingting was standing a little bit behind them and was actually quite excited when she saw them coming.

Wen Yu and Yan Zhu followed the rules and knelt down obediently, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The prince smiled and said, "Get up!"

The prince asked, "Didn't you bring another one?"

As soon as Qi Wuyi met the Crown Prince, he told him about Lan Zhou.

Wen Yu said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, the story is this: I have a brother who has been ill since he was young. It's the kind of thing... I can't describe it. He doesn't communicate with people, and he doesn't talk, but he's not dumb! I was really worried about him being alone at home, so I brought him here. Your Highness, Lan Zhou is very quiet and well-behaved. As long as he's outside, just find a room for him to stay in."

"Bring it here, let me have a look."

Yan Zhu went over, pulled Lan Zhou up, and said, "Lan Zhou, let's go see an uncle. You have to be good and polite, okay? The pond belongs to the uncle, you have to be sensible, then the uncle will let you play in the pond safely!"

Yan Zhu pulled him over and made him kowtow.

Lan Zhou was holding the cage, feeling a little nervous, but he did as he was told.

The prince laughed and said, "He is actually a very handsome young man!"

Wen Yu's tears flowed down her cheeks. "Your Highness. Uncle and Aunt Liu were both decent people. They helped the poor and the needy, and were kind and generous. It was just that they died young. Sometimes, I felt unfair for them. But it turns out that all the good deeds they had accumulated were left to Lan Zhou! For a sick child like him from a small place to have the chance to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince one day, this is a great merit accumulated by his ancestors!"

The crown prince got goose bumps all over his body, and she, she, she, she... glanced at Qi Wu.

Seeing that Qi Wu actually nodded in agreement, he became even more furious: Didn't you hear that she was flattering my father... No, no, no, she was flattering me shamelessly!

Turning his head to look at his father again, the prince actually nodded slightly: "Lan Zhou is very good. The names of this pair of turtles are also good! May you be safe and sound..."

At this moment, the Crown Prince's expression brightened, "Father, we must all be safe and sound!"

In the afternoon, at Fanghua Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lord Zhou, dressed in a silk and linen robe, with his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, had a respectful expression on his face as he started to make tea.

Opposite him sat the King of Wu.

The tea was poured into the cup and they drank it slowly.

Lord Zhou said, "It was accomplished, but not completely. It was because I didn't think enough. Your Highness, please punish me."

King Wu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, the emperor's heart is hard to predict. The emperor reprimanded the East Palace and took back the power. Everything went as expected. However, it was not handed over to me..."

"I originally thought that Prince Yongqing had left a good impression on the emperor. This time, he might be more inclined towards him. Unfortunately..."

"It's not a pity. The Crown Prince has been quite good in the past two years. He has done a few major things, and although they are not outstanding, they are very regular. The Eastern Palace has a natural advantage. If it continues like this, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, the East Palace has cracked, and it won't be easy to mend it."

"I trust you to do your job!"

…

In the East Palace, after the Crown Prince left, the Crown Princess washed and dressed up again.

She wore wide sleeves and a tight waist, and put on incense and makeup. She did all the things that she couldn't do when the prince was around.

There was a table full of delicious food and she also drank some wine.

Have someone bring up what needs to be done.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, she reviewed the articles as if assisted by God, and everything was to her liking. However, she didn't know that this was arranged by someone with ulterior motives.

After being busy for a while, I finally returned to the bedroom. It was so quiet here that you could hear a pin drop.

She is also a woman and has needs.

For so many years, has it been easy for me? Neither was I appreciated...

After hesitating for a while, he finally ordered in a low voice, "Let that person come over!"

The maid had no expression on her face and responded in a low voice, "Go away."

After a while, a tall man walked in. He had long satin-like hair, handsome eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose, a beautifully shaped chin, and a prominent Adam's apple.

When he came in, he bowed and said nothing.

After the Crown Princess gave the order, she felt a little regretful.

But now that she saw it clearly, the fire in her heart suddenly rose up and was about to burn her.

She looked at him dazedly, "Come here, give me a massage."

The man came over, "My lady, please lie down!" He said calmly. The sound and smell...

The physical and mental demands have left her with no ability to think.

…

In the villa, the prince put all his official business aside.

Being with Qi Wu, riding horses, drinking and playing games.

Yan Zhu directed the cooking in the kitchen. At first, who would obey this little girl?

I have no cooking skills, no knife skills, and I can’t even flip a spoon.

The dishes he made were also petty, and he didn’t know how to arrange the plates…

But you can make it... and try it... it's delicious and tasty.

Prince, six meals a day... Even he himself laughed: "Why does it feel like I'm eating all day long?"

Wen Yu was laughing before she finished talking to the concubine, and no one knew what she was laughing at.

After waking up from their nap, the Prince and Lan Zhou sat in a row and sunbathed their backs.

Two people were sitting with their backs to the sun. Two little turtles had just swam ashore and were also basking in the sun.

…

After Lord Zhou saw King Wu off, another old friend came in.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the man said, "Someone asked me for help, so I came to ask if you can do it."

After saying that, he handed over a piece of paper.

Mr. Zhou opened it and saw...

He smiled, "This should have been done earlier! Now, he has the title but less money. What's the point of doing it?"

"It is said that the money for buying a title is nothing to this person! He just wants to vent his anger, and the money he gets after the matter is done will be easy to talk about."

"I have a lot of things to do lately. If it's not urgent, I'll take a look. If it's urgent, let him find another way!"

"No hurry... Take these thirty thousand taels first."
