On one side of the west garden, there is a large plum grove, and on the other side is a lotus pond where you can raft.

The partition wall of the lotus pond is Lu Zhaoyi's Yuehua Palace.

There are few masters in the palace, and this western courtyard is almost the place where Lu Zhaoyi walks every day to enjoy the flowers.

The winter wind is cold, the flowers of the plum forest have not bloomed, and there are no flowers to enjoy, so Lu Zhaoyi will take advantage of the good sunshine at noon every day, and will also take a walk along the lotus pond.

She grew up in the countryside, and she didn't have so many big families, except for the two maids left by Lu Yangge in the palace and the clear sky, Lu Yangge also left her the snow.

The entire Yuehua Palace is strictly controlled by these three girls, and the palace maids and eunuchs arranged in the palace can only do some things to sweep and prepare food and guard the courtyard.

Lu Qingluan doesn't take many people with her when she goes around the garden, there are not many people around her, Wanzhao is the chief steward of Yuehua Palace, under her supervision, the rules of the entire Yuehua Palace are much bigger than those in other palaces, and you have to report in and out of the palace, if that slave dares to chew his tongue outside, he will immediately hit the board and expel him from Yuehua Palace.

Qingtian manages the jewelry and dress warehouse for Lu Qingluan, and is also responsible for her food, clothing, housing and transportation. The sky is clear, and Lu Qingluan is taken care of in a way. Even the water for gargling every day is cold and hot, and the mattress for making the bed at night is thicker and thinner. If that little palace maid doesn't do well enough or isn't careful enough, she will get out of Yuehua Palace like the same, and love will stay where she goes.

Yuehua Palace does not raise idlers, nor does it raise people with many mouths and tongues.

There is only a lot of snow breaking, and he accompanies Lu Qingluan to visit the garden every day, and then he has nothing to do with the little eunuch of the Huagong Palace for a few months to practice.

In just a few months, the little eunuchs in Yuehua Palace are a lot more agile, and even the errands are faster than other palace slaves.

Lu Zhaoyi is favored, there are many people in the palace who step on the low and praise the high, and those who can enter the Yuehua Palace are not fools.

From Lu Qingluan to the present, Yuehua Palace has only brought out two little eunuchs and a small palace maid, As for where these people went after being kicked out of Yuehua Palace, it is not up to Lu Zhaoyi to worry.

The kind of people stuffed in other palaces, Yuehua Palace is one that they dare not keep.

Today, Lu Qingluan got up late, and only got up at three o'clock in the morning, and when he had breakfast and was accompanied by Zhixue into the West Courtyard, the sun was almost in the air.

The sun wasn't very good today, and the weather was gloomy.

Lu Qingluan walked out of the plum garden and remembered that he didn't bring a cloak, and the wind blew the cold air into his jacket.

She told Zhixue to go back and give her the cloak, and went to the lotus pond alone.

In this palace, there are only a few people in and out, and Zhexue stays in the palace to be moldy, and I haven't seen Lu Qingluan in danger.

The princess was in the palace, and the three of them couldn't follow the princess, so the princess arranged for them to accompany Lu Qingluan in Yuehua Palace.

The princess said that she would treat Lu Zhaoyi as if she were her, and there should be no disrespect.

Lu Qingluan asked Zhi Xue to go back to get the cloak, Zhi Xue didn't think much about it, turned around and went back to the Yuehua Hall to get the cloak.

Lu Qingluan walked a few steps before he heard the sound of laughter coming from the lotus pond.

On weekdays, in addition to the gardeners who build flowers and trees in this west garden, only the servants of Yuehua Palace will come over, and at this time, hearing people playing around makes Lu Qingluan can't help but be curious.

Lu Qingluan took a few steps further and saw several figures running on the ice.

When I got closer, I saw a little eunuch holding a rope in front of me, and at one end of the rope pulled a square stool that was put down, and there were people sitting on the square bench, which was far away and could not be seen clearly.

There were also two or three little eunuchs standing by the pond and watching, clapping their hands as they watched.

When the little eunuch with the rope ran around, he changed people and continued to run.

Lu Qingluan was curious, which palace master was this taking the little eunuchs to play in the lotus pond?

No matter which palace the owner is, this lotus pond is not a place to play.

Although this winter day has arrived, there has been no snow, and the ice on the edge of the lotus pond is thick, and the ice in the middle of the pond may not be so thick.

Lu Qingluan hurried over, wanting to go over and remind.

Then he heard a scream, and the little eunuch who was running on the ice with a rope turned his head suddenly, and the square stool tied to the other end of the rope flew out with the people sitting on the stool.

The middle of the lotus pond was smashed by the person who flew out, and with a click, it suddenly cracked.

Fortunately, the ice is still quite thick, and the smashed ice surface is not really broken, and the people on the ice are still lying on their stomachs.

"Little Prince."

It wasn't until one of the eunuchs shouted at the top of his voice that Lu Qingluan realized that the child who had just flown out turned out to be the little prince.

She didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran to the lotus pond.

Since being bought into the Lu family by Lu Yangge, Lu Qingluan has followed Lu Yangge to study at Qingshan Academy in Nanyang.

She didn't dare to say anything else, but swimming and rowing was something that even Lu Xiaoli, the best in the Lu family, couldn't compare to her.

Seeing the ice breaking, the little prince was so young that he crawled on the ice and cried in fright.

Several little eunuchs were so frightened that their hair stood on end, and they ran to the lotus pond together, and the eunuch who had just dragged the little prince to skate rushed over in a few steps.

"Don't go over."

Lu Qingluan shouted as he ran, "The ice is going to crack, don't go over." ”

It's just that her shouting only stopped a few little eunuchs on the shore, and the eunuch dragging the stool was about to run to the little prince. The shattered ice clicked, and the little eunuch fell into the lake with the prince lying on the ice.

When the little eunuchs who had stopped on the shore saw it, they were so frightened that they were about to run to the middle of the lake.

At this time, they didn't care about whether the ice cracked or not, the little prince had already fallen into the water, and if they stood on the shore and didn't do anything, it would be a dead word at that time.

Lu Qingluan grew up in the countryside, and followed Lu Yangge to climb the big green mountain day by day.

Her steps were extremely fast, and before the little eunuchs arrived, she had already plunged into the ice cave and swam desperately to the little prince.

The pool water was cold, and as soon as Lu Qingluan fell into the water, he felt his whole body tighten, and the broken ice cubes touched the bare skin, stinging pain.

She didn't dare to hesitate, just paddled to swim to the little prince.

Fortunately, the little prince was wearing a bright yellow robe, which was much more conspicuous than the eunuch suit in this water.

Before Lu Qingluan could get close to the little prince, her leg was grabbed, and the eunuch who fell into the water finally grabbed something and was willing to let go.

Lu Qingluan was angry and anxious, watching the little prince not far away struggling in the water, and could only kick the hateful face in the water with his other leg.

Zhixue was a step slower, so he could only pull out the leather whip on his waist and flick it in the air, stopping a few little eunuchs who were scrambling to run into the lake.

"Go and tell the emperor."

Zhexue shouted, and ran to the middle of the lotus pond with Lu Qingluan's cloak in his arms.

She had heard of Lu Qingluan's good wateriness, and Zhixue didn't dare to recklessly jump into the water to save people, but stood in a place where the ice was still thick and waited.

Just waiting for Lu Qingluan to show her head, she threw the whip into the water to rescue.
