The rain passed without a trace, and the gentle breeze cleared the clouds and mist, allowing the warm sun to shine down through the loopholes, and all the fog was dispersed and sprinkled all over the world.

The buds that were dried up by the cold rain before looked really eye-catching, and they were all cleaned up by the palace people, and at this moment those branches were full of purple and red, facing the morning sun and competing to bloom, and the whole palace was decorated with flowers full of spring, and the scenery was picturesque.

Yu Zhao was surrounded by a group of palace people, sitting on the stones by the pond basking in the sun, bored, holding a basket made of willow branches in his hand, absentmindedly taking the flowers handed to him by the palace maid and decorating them.

Without paying attention to his hand, he let the flower basket scatter, and the flowers fell far away in the water, and Yu Zhao was completely bored, staring blankly at the fish swimming among the water lilies in the lake, and letting his thoughts be empty.

Yesterday, Chu Zikai proudly showed off the rivers and mountains, and this morning's express report made him tied to the council hall again by various affairs, seeing that the deadly cold epidemic was about to disappear, and for some reason, there were signs of resurgence in various places.

Human life is at stake, and it is related to the cohesion of the people, after the lesson of the last time, Chu Zikai did not dare to let the local officials take charge of aid affairs alone, and he had to personally handle everything before he could rest assured.

The excerpts reported by spies from all over the country continued to come one after another, and the twists and turns of Baichen's advice were also piled up like a mountain, Chu Zikai enjoyed the supreme position, but he enjoyed this good time in spring.

At the same time, Chu Zikai was also afraid that someone would bring the illness to the palace, and let Yu Zhao have a good time, so he ordered that the palace be temporarily sealed, and all idlers and miscellaneous people were not allowed to enter and leave, and only special personnel were left for all food and clothing.

So what is going on outside, Yu Zhao doesn't know anything, and the people around him are too, the blockade is so tight that even flies can't fly out, so he can only wait here, and only after Chu Zikai returns after handling affairs can he find out a piece or two.

The days are long, the free time is too much, Yu Zhao has no other discomfort, but he is homesick and tired, no matter how good the jokes told by the palace people, he can't keep his spirits up.

The palace people saw that Yu Zhao was not interesting, but they were not noisy, so they began to be lazy and leisurely, and gathered around to talk about the gossip they heard from all directions.

"I heard that Feng Shiren said that this cold epidemic has been repeated, I am afraid that it is related to the bad luck of the sky, Your Majesty has ordered Si Tiantai to observe the stars and measure the fortune of the country, hoping to use the heavenly benefits to survive this catastrophe."

Another small chamberlain eagerly agreed: "That's right, no matter how effective the decoction is, in the end it is manpower, people are not as good as heaven, and some things still have to be believed." ”

"It is said that there are signs first, and I heard that there is an auspicious star who came to the world to help the disaster, just to figure out who the noble person is......"

For their sworn words, Yu Zhao only regarded the wind blowing in his ears, and the sufferings of the world were piled up one by one, how could this cold epidemic be a disaster, if God was willing to show mercy, how could there be a tragedy in the world?

However, these ear winds hung on Chu Zikai, and when they blew, they made Yu Zhao reluctant to raise his hand to block his right ear. Hearing this, Yu Zhao felt strange, with his own understanding, Chu Zikai probably wouldn't believe that this disease was caused by God, how could he bother with the stars?

In the middle of his thoughts, he suddenly saw a stone fall into the pond in front of him, and with a bang, splashed a splash, and then the ripples spread from that point to the surroundings, startling the happy fish swimming among the water lilies, diving into the water, and then disappearing.

Then, another one fell, this time closer, and the splash was a little bigger, and accidentally splashed on the little palace maid sitting on the edge of the pond, and the palace maid looked strangely in that direction, stood up and pointed in that direction and asked angrily: "Presumptuous, who is so rude!" ”

Yu Zhao followed her hopes, and it was a lotus flower. Her festive moon face poked out from the side of the rockery, climbed on it unruly, met Yu Zhao's gaze, and waved it with one free hand. "Miss, I'm here!"

There is a pond under the rockery, Yu Zhao is a little worried about the decorations made of stones, I am afraid that he can't bear the toss of the tiger girl, and hurriedly said: "Come down, how about falling later?" ”

Lotus Flower said proudly: "It's okay, this stone mountain can't be difficult for me, there is a beautiful flower blooming on the top, I will pick it and give it to Miss?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was retribution, and the lotus flower got carried away, slipped under her feet, and fell into the pond.

With a plop, a water lily by the pond was seedling, and then looked at the lotus flower, fluttering and floating, and the expression was confused. Yu Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly got up and walked over, and someone from the palace had already run over to scoop up the lotus flowers.

I didn't choke on the water, but the lotus flowers were soaked, sticking to the leaves, and there were water lilies on their heads, like a water lily essence!

This funny appearance made the surrounding palace people can't help but laugh in a low voice, Yu Zhao didn't care about the ridicule, and eagerly helped her sort out the flowers and leaves on her body, while asking, "When did you come?" Why didn't anyone hear the rumors? ”

Lotus didn't answer, crying and bowing her head, Yu Zhao saw her react like this, only thought that she was in pain, and said worriedly: "If the pain doesn't have to endure, just say it and see the doctor." ”

Lotus Flower shook her head, pulled the clothes on her body, and complained with a sad face: "This is the new clothes that the master asked me to come to Dachu to find you, and the new clothes that I ordered someone to make for me are the best materials, and I only wore them for the first time today." ”

Worried in vain, Yu Zhao couldn't cry or laugh again, afraid that she would catch a cold if she entered the water and blew the wind, so he didn't have time to ask her questions, so he hurriedly took her back to the palace.

After the palace people changed the lotus flower's clothes, they led her out, and Yu Zhao saw from a distance that her round eyes were wide open. As he walked, he looked around curiously, the decoration of Xu is Son of Heaven's house was too poor and luxurious, and the black grape eyes were shining.

But fortunately, in addition to being a fan of wealth, he kept a dim sum eye, as if he felt that in front of the living, Yu Zhao could not lose face, and the lotus flower withdrew her envious eyes, recuperated her body, and walked over quite reservedly.

Every move became serious, which made Yu Zhao feel even more funny, stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, and asked, "Grandmother Aji and my mother are okay?" ”

Lotus nodded and replied: "It's all fine, it's just that the princess thinks that you think so much, and you don't want to lose weight for tea and dinner, I also went to Wenfu to see, Mrs. Yu Lu was well taken care of by the Wen family, but she was fatter, but her eyes were swollen from crying." ”

Rao guessed that the situation in Nanrong Mansion must be like this, and it was confirmed at this moment, Yu Zhao's worry still couldn't be controlled, and he frowned, and asked, "You came with Azu?" ”

Lotus nodded again, looked around, as if suppressing something, and stopped talking. Seeing this, Yu Zhao thought that she had something important and wanted to say it to herself alone, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to speak in the presence of a living person, so she hurriedly dismissed everyone in the hall, and asked eagerly: "Azu asked you to tell me what to say?" ”
