Du Youlan was silent, but the smile on her face couldn't be pulled away. But after a while, she hastily said goodbye and left.

The next day, Zijuan came early to invite Ren Qingqing over. Because of the long wait last time, Qi Xuan stopped outside the door without waiting for her to enter the hall, and complained. And Zijuan came to invite people on the orders of his master, so he couldn't get along with people, so he had to listen to his anger.

finally finished speaking, and she was not allowed to go in, so she only waited outside, and Qi Xuan went in to report. As soon as the people turned around, Zijuan threw out a wicked face and cursed something in his mouth.

Qi Xuan came to the main house, entered the bedroom, and waited for Qingqing to freshen up with Dyezhi.

Suddenly, Qingqing asked: Is there someone from Chaoxiang Palace?

Qi Xuan and Dye Zhi glanced at each other, and immediately replied: Yes, it is Zijuan who is here. I said yes, please come early.

Qingqing said: Then why did you talk about it for so long?

Qi Xuan replied: It's nothing, but just said a few words to her. Who told them to always let us wait, to put it nicely, they came to invite, but they set up a shelf to show off, which made people wait for a long time. I think, with the last time I should have a long memory, who wants to open the door this morning to see someone coming, the opening is that sentence, tired of listening to it!

Both of them couldn't help but laugh when they heard her words.

Qingqing said: The person who came is Zijuan, right? With her temperament, after listening to your words, she should go back?

Qi Xuan said: I saw her smiling when I came in. If you wait, you wait, and if you leave, you can go, whatever she wants, anyway, we are not in a hurry to go.

Qingqing smiled silently.

Dye Zhi chuckled and scolded: You're amazing!

Qi Xuan was very happy.

After the three of them arrived at the Imperial Garden, they soon saw Du Youlan, and it seemed that they intended to wait here.

As soon as Du Youlan saw Qingqing, she walked briskly with a smile, and when she arrived, she said: Sister, you are here.

Qingqing responded: But have you waited for a long time?

Du Youlan replied: It's okay. Come on, sister, come with me!

Qingqing smiled and followed, walking beside her. Qixuan dyed branches followed suit.

It was different from last time. However, after a few days, the emerald green color has spread all over the garden, and the flower branches are full of flower bones, some of which have bloomed wantonly, fresh and gorgeous, and are very charming in this cold and spring season.

The cold pool has faded away from filth, and the surface of the lake is so clear that people come closer to see it.

Walking on the stone road a little farther away, Du Youlan said: Look at these flowers, when I came a few days ago, I didn't see that they had half a bone, but now they have produced so many flowers. It can be seen that spring has arrived.

Ren Qingqing responded: That's true.

When approaching the lake, Du Youlan suddenly asked: Sister, do you remember the last time we came to this lake to play?

Qingqing glanced at her sideways and replied: Yes. It was last summer.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Du Youlan's mouth, and said: Who would have thought that on that day, in order to break the lotus flower, I would not fall into the water and cause a miscarriage. If it hadn't been for my sister calling for help and a guard going into the water to drag me up, I might have died at the bottom of the lake.

This sound a little sad, Qingqing didn't know what to do, but then said: I don't know how to comfort my sister, I just hope you forget it, so that you can live a good life in the future.

Du Youlan smiled brightly and said: What my sister said is that since then, the emperor has taken care of her, and she is naturally better than before.

As they spoke, the two of them had come to the near side of the Lotus Pond, separated only by a low bush. Du Youlan looked towards the lake, then turned her head to look back at Qingqing, smiled, and said, "Sister, I want to go to the lake to sit, do you say okay?"

Qingqing was silent, and after looking at her again, she sighed a little in her heart, and replied: That's good. But don't get too close.

Du Youlan said: Okay, listen to my sister.

After listening to the words, Zijuan asked the palace maid to move the chairs and stools. There is no place to sit near the lake, only a few seats are placed near the grass, which is not bad compared to the gazebo.

The advantage of the palace maids is that after a while, all kinds of snacks are presented in front of them.

After tasting a few pieces of dim sum, Du Youlan said: Sister, do you think there will be lotus roots down here?

Qingqing replied: There should be.

Du Youlan put down the dim sum in her hand and said, "In that case, it's better to take it out and let it be made in the kitchen, so that you can taste it at lunchtime." What did my sister say?

Qingqingdao: It's okay.

After Qingqing finished speaking, Du Youlan immediately pointed to the palace maid and said, "It's just you."

The palace maid was unknown, and she stayed in place. Seeing this, the purple juan beside the master immediately reprimanded the palace maid: Didn't you hear what the masters said, don't you go quickly, you will be punished if you are late!

Hearing this, the palace maid instantly saluted, and said in her mouth: The slave and maid will go.

The spring is cold, there is no winter wind, and the spring breeze with cool is merciless. I saw the palace maid hurrying to the edge of the lake, looking left and right, anxious and didn't know how to get the lotus root in the pool, and didn't know what to do for a while. At this moment, the voice of Zijuan was heard not far away: Don't go down quickly.

If you don't go on, you will be punished. After thinking about it, I saw her squat down, first took off her cotton shoes, and then stockings. His feet were instantly blown red by the wind. Then he shuddered and put his feet into the pool.

Stepping into the pool, the water did not reach the root of the legs, and then went in and sank a little more. It's just that the lotus root is deep under the silt and is not easy to obtain. After a while, the garment was soaked with water, and the man's face was bloodless, and his lips were purple. Although he was still hunched and groping in the water, it seemed that he had lost his movements.

Seeing this, Qingqing said to Du Youlan: I'll just forget it. It's been so long since the cold water freezes people, and it's not good if something happens to people.

Du Youlan turned her head to look at it, and then replied: It's okay. This girl made a mistake earlier, and this is just to make her suffer, so that she can remember it for a long time. Sister doesn't have to worry about it.

After listening to the words, Qingqing continued: It's okay to be punished, but this is frozen, and the water can't be touched, if it goes on like this, people will freeze.

Du Youlan listened, laughed, and said: Sister, you really care about people. Speaking of which, how would I have taught such a spicy girl.

Saying this, he turned his eyes to Qi Xuan behind Qingqing.

Qi Xuan naturally heard it too, and looked down at random, but he was bumping into Du Youlan's glance. A raging anger suddenly rose in his chest, and he couldn't attack because of the scene, but he was already angry.

Du Youlan didn't care about Qi Xuan, and then said: It's naturally good to have a capable girl, but if you don't keep your duty and ride on the master's head, but no, you will naturally be punished.

After speaking, he picked up the tea and prepared to moisten his throat. seemed to remember something, paused instantly, looked at Qingqing, and said: Sister still has a cup of hot tea to warm up.

As he spoke, he glanced at the purple cuckoo behind him.

I saw that Zijuan immediately took the freshly brewed tea from the palace maid behind her, stepped forward, and replaced Qingqing's cup with a new cup of hot tea.
