Bai Ling followed Bao Yuan into the main hall, only to see that the tables and chairs in Qu Guifei's bedroom had been moved to the side, and the huge ground was now covered with unfolded maps and atlases.

Bai Ling tilted his head and looked, the largest one in the middle should be the topographic map of Jian'an Lake, and the ink pen outlined the outline of the southeast shore of the lake, mountains, streams, deep pools, islands, as well as palaces, cloisters, grass houses and yaotai...... Each location is marked on the map in neat block letters, and a border depicted by dotted lines is added for ease of viewing.

Under these marked place names, annotations are made with more detailed pen and ink, and about three or two sentences are used to introduce the furnishings, location, and landscape of this place.

Qu sat on the newly laid carpet, listening to the news from Zheng Shu's exclusive Internal Affairs Office, while looking down and flipping through the atlas in his hand - the atlas was mostly about the styles of clothes and jewelry.

"Mother." Bai Ling bent her knees slightly, and greeted Zheng Shu with gentle eyes, Bao Yuan had already brought Bai Ling a small square blanket and feather pillow to sit on at this time, signaling her not to be restrained, just find a comfortable position to sit down.

"Won't Granny Shu sit?" Bai Ling glanced up at Zheng Shu, who had been standing beside Qu Shi.

Zheng Shu shook her head, "People are old, and they can't stand sitting like this, so I'll just stand here." ”

Bao Yuan snorted and laughed on the side, "Granny Shu can't stand it, it's because she looks at us like this, she can't stand it, right?" ”

Zheng Shu frowned and glared at Bao Yuan with a smile, but she still couldn't be idle after all, and quickly went outside to pick up the hot tea newly brewed by the maidservants.

Bai Ling looked at the map on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh, "Seeing that the southeast area of Anhu Lake has always been a forbidden place, I have heard that the saint is building a garden in it, but I didn't expect that there will be so many pavilions and pavilions here......"

"This area has been repaired since the twenty-fourth year of Jianxi." Qu Shi raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ling, and said softly, "Most of the construction period ended last year, so the emperor will move the idea of holding this year's flower viewing party here." ”

"yes, these things are already ready-made. Otherwise, Sheng Shang suddenly changed his mind at the beginning of March and wanted to leave the palace, even if Jia Yuchun had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to work. Bao Yuan laughed on the side, she straightened her waist and stretched out her hand to point to an island in the map, "Niangniang, are you going to release koi fish here this year?" ”

"Okay." Qu lowered his eyes and replied, "I just don't know if I have the strength this year, prepare first, if you can't do it, you can go for me......"

Bao Yuan looked at Bai Ling with a mocking gaze.

Bai Ling looked back with a puzzled face.

Zheng Shu came in with tea at this time, and put it in front of the concubine and Bao Yuan Bailing one by one.

"Although the area for this cherry blossom viewing is bigger, there are fewer things to prepare for than the previous ones. Let's just go to have a good time, first watch fireworks and singing and dancing on the Yao platform, and then board a boat with the saint to tour the lake, the emperor also reads the body of the mother, but if you are tired on the way, just find the nearest palace or courtyard to rest, you don't have to barely make it through. ”

"The emperor is really considerate of our mother!" Bao Yuan blew the hot tea in his hand and said with a smile.

"yes." Zheng Shu couldn't help laughing, she pointed to the circle specially marked with a red pen on the map, "Let's write down these locations, and we won't be in a hurry when the time comes." ”

Bai Ling nodded, and suddenly saw an oval patch covered with a red cross at the bottom of the entire map.

It looked like a small pond, but it wasn't like other ponds with inky ripples, and she became more and more curious, stretched out her hand to the map, looked up and asked, "Granny Shu, what is this place?" ”

"I'll take a look......" Zheng Shu squinted her eyes and approached, looking at it and thinking for a while, "Oh, it's Jiaolongchi." ”

"Jiaolong?" Bai Ling repeated the name - isn't that something that only exists in mythology?

"It's a crocodile." Bao Yuan added on the side, "I heard that it was specially transported from the lower reaches of the Jian'an River, and our emperor likes these longevity auspicious rui, so Father-in-law Jia specially asked for this lottery." ”

"Is it......" Bai Ling looked at the area painted with red crosses, and somehow, he felt slightly ominous in his heart.

Zheng Shu then said a lot of details to pay attention to that day, Bai Ling and Bao Yuan listened with peace of mind, asked a few words from time to time, and after confirming that it was safe, Bai Ling and Bao Yuan repeated their duties separately, so that Zheng Shu was really relieved.

"That's right, Niangniang," Bai Ling suddenly remembered what happened to Bai Yi, she looked at Qu Shi, "During the day on the twenty-ninth day, I want to ask for leave, and wait for you directly in the evening, I don't know if it's okay." ”

Zheng Shu was stunned for a moment, frowned and sighed, "You have to say this earlier." ”

"I'm sorry Granny Shu, I just remembered." Bai Ling clasped his hands together and looked at Zheng Shu with some apologetic guilt, "The arrangements that Granny Fang Cai said should all be after nightfall...... I will definitely come back on time and will not delay my business. ”

"What are you going to do?" Bao Yuan asked.

"It was ...... that day A day when the deceased is gone. Bai Ling replied deliberately vaguely, and said softly, "So ......"

Qu Shi suddenly raised his head, "Will your brother also go to the evening flower viewing party?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "He and my dad both received the post. ”

Qu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Then you guys should go shopping...... Such a grand event is more worthy of participating as a spectator. This palace will give you a whole day off, okay......? ”

Bai Ling took a deep breath and solemnly thanked Qu Shi.

On the side, Bao Yuan tilted his head and smiled, "Then when you arrive at Jian'an Lake in the evening, you have to come to Yaotai to find me first." Don't forget the clothes from the last garden party, it was we who changed it with stitches and threads, and you have to wear it this time, you can't waste it anymore! ”

After all, on the afternoon of the garden party, Bao Yuan first came to blow the effect of Bai Ling's fitting to the sky, but Bai Ling changed his clothes himself, and Zheng Shu and Qu Shi didn't see the clothes on the real person.

Bai Ling also laughed, but had to agree.

"Your brother is seventeen, isn't he?" Qu asked, "Are you married?" ”

"Not yet." Bai Ling replied truthfully, "He has been working as a chef in Baiwei Building a few years ago, and he can't rest for a few days a year, and my father is also busy, so this matter has been delayed." ”

Qu Shi shook his head and sighed with a smile, "Your father has never continued the strings, it is not easy to raise the two of you like this, how can a man with children know how to worry about these things." ”

"Not really, mother." Bao Yuan smiled on the side, "That little doctor Bai is very good at taking care of children, you forgot what Concubine Ning told us last time." ”

Qu Shi stared slightly, and smiled, "Yes." ”

Bai Ling heard it inexplicably, and Bao Yuan relayed Ning Concubine's previous words, and told Bai Yi how to coax the little prince in three or two moves, and this is not the end, and then Ning Concubine went to Bai Yi for advice on the little prince's affairs many times, and Bai Yi was able to give a good solution almost every time.

This time it was Bai Ling's turn to be surprised.

"You don't know?" Bao Yuan was surprised, "Where did Bai Yi learn the ability to take care of children?" ”
