"Well, it's warm."

Princess Ankang soaked in the soup pool, and her little face was boiled red.

She was wrapped in a large towel, revealing a large area of cold white skin.

Princess Ankang's physique has improved now, her skin is no longer as pale as before, she has a little blood, and she looks more pink.

Li Xuan had already jumped into the pool, shaving water and swimming around in the pool.

Emperor Yongyuan really enjoyed it, just the ordinary hot soup they brewed now made people feel extremely relaxed.

If you can soak like this every day before going to bed, I am afraid that you can relieve a lot of fatigue.

There are also many hot springs with various effects in Yuqing Pond.

"This Emperor Yongyuan will enjoy it, and he has made such a big bathhouse for himself."

"It seems that Daxing's bathing culture is also very developed."

Li Xuan floated on the water of the pond and swam deeper into it.

Don't look at it as just an ordinary hot soup, but the area is still quite large, and the further you go inside, the hotter it becomes, Princess Ankang just sits at the edge of the soup pool and can't stand it.

Li Xuan is okay, he likes warm places, and his physique is much better than that of Duke Ankang, so he didn't feel any discomfort when he swam deeper, on the contrary, it made him more comfortable.

This soup pool is very large, and it should not be a problem for dozens of people to go down at a time.

"How much manpower and material resources do you have to spend to maintain such a big hot soup?"

"Emperor Yongyuan, this loser!"

The more Li Xuan swam, the more amazed he became, he knew very well that it was not easy to boil so much hot water in Daxing.

Daxing's fuel is still very primitive, mainly firewood, and some nobles still use charcoal.

And this charcoal is very particular, not only smokeless, but also fragrant.

"I don't know what kind of fuel is used to cook so much bath water here."

Li Xuan looked around, but he didn't see where the hot water in this pool came from.

A wooden wall was erected in the middle of the pool where they were located, and it seemed that it had been temporarily erected to distinguish between male and female baths.

Li Xuan soon swam to the end of the pond, and he found that the water here was much deeper, and the bottom could not be seen through the surface of the water.

And the temperature here has reached a level that ordinary people can't bear.

Unless you're a hot soup lover, you won't be able to hold on to the water at this temperature.

Li Xuan thought it was okay, and even if he swam to the end, he didn't find out where the hot water was flowing into the pool.

He moved his little wet ears, and he didn't hear the sound of water running nearby.

"Huh?"

"How strange is that?"

Li Xuan guessed that there was still a water circulation system that was invisible to the naked eye?

Thinking so, he plunged headlong into the pool and dived underwater.

It was only at the bottom of the water that he could see the bottom structure of the pool.

The bottom of the pool was stepped up, and Princess Ankang was sitting at the closest and highest part of the periphery.

And the place where Li Xuan is now is the deepest, probably less than a zhang deep.

"This Yongyuan Emperor is too, how can a bathing pond be repaired so deeply?"

"Could it be that the royal family has ever been tall before?"

Li Xuan continued to dive with doubts, only to see that something seemed to be emitting red light at the bottom.

The red light is faint and faint, not so dazzling, on the contrary, it is very faint.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's good eyesight, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see this red light clearly.

"What's that?"

Li Xuan tried to paddle with his four paws, approaching the object that glowed red.

He swam to the bottom and found that it was a few large rocks.

These large rocks have strange shapes, as if they were picked up from some valley.

It's just that there is a red light slowly flickering on these stones, and Li Xuan found that the water temperature near the stones is much hotter than above.

"Could it be that this stone is hot water?"

Li Xuan suddenly had an idea, he endured the heat, and then slowly reached out to get closer to the glowing stones.

The moment the cat's claw touched the stone, Li Xuan retracted his claw.

"It's so hot!"

He understood why the water in the pool was so hot, it turned out that these big stones were constantly boiling the water.

"It's just that what the hell is this stone that is heating up on its own."

Li Xuan curiously swam around these stones, and looked at them rarely.

"Is it possible to keep heating up all the time?"

"If that's the case, this stone is a treasure!"

Unlimited generation of clean heat resources.

The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that these red stones in front of him were rare.

But as he looked closely, he also found the problem.

Although all the stones were slowly glowing red, it was clear that the frequency of the red light flashing was not the same.

Some are fast, some are slow.

And those that flickered slowly, even the light was faint.

Li Xuan tried to reach out and touch it, and sure enough, he found that the temperature on the stone was also different.

These stones are like life, and the red light flashes quickly, which is a young stone full of vitality, and the more heat it contains.

And the red light flickering slowly, it is an old stone like a candle in the wind, and the red light is faint as if it will be extinguished at any time, which makes people worry about it.

But according to Li Xuan's careful observation, he felt that these glowing stones did not have the characteristics of life, but more like they had the characteristics of charging, like batteries.

These reddish stones may be batteries that store heat.

"It's really the most amazing thing in the world."

"You can always see strange things in this world."

Li Xuan sighed with emotion, and planned to have the opportunity to ask others what kind of stones these were in the future.

He felt that if the stone was taken to a cold place, it should be used for warmth.

There seems to be some pattern to the placement of the stones at the bottom of the pool, and they are not thrown here casually.

Li Xuan didn't naughtily move these stones.

"Just touch it, if it is broken, the emperor will ask me to pay for it, and I can't afford it."

Li Xuan saw about the same and was about to float to the surface, but he suddenly saw an extremely eye-catching existence next to a big rock.

"Why are there treasure chests here!?"

Li Xuan looked at a wooden treasure chest hidden under the pool with a strange expression.

The treasure chest looks like it's only two palms wide, and it's very mini.

Li Xuan couldn't hold back and wanted to open the treasure chest, but it didn't take much effort to open it.

Inside the treasure chest is a red gem carved into the shape of a plum blossom, which looks pretty good.

Li Xuan rolled up the ruby with his tail and found that there was actually a thin silver chain on the ruby.

"It turned out to be a ruby plum blossom necklace."

It's just that this ruby is a little extraordinary, Li Xuan curls it with his tail, and a stream of warmth is passed along the tail.

This warmth is not hot at all, it is comfortable.

But Li Xuan was in the hot soup at this time, and he could still feel warm, which was a bit unusual.

"It's like a treasure!"

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He then looked inside the chest, and saw that there was nothing but the necklace.

Li Xuan tried to touch the wooden treasure chest again, only to find that the bottom of the treasure chest was fixed and could not be moved.

With his current strength, he could certainly demolish it, but it wasn't worth it just for a wooden treasure chest.

"I remember that Ankang had a small box, so let's leave this one here."

Li Xuan then wanted to close the treasure chest.

Otherwise, a treasure chest with a big mouth is too conspicuous to look at.

But at this time, Li Xuan found that after the treasure chest was opened, it was stuck, and he couldn't close it.

"What's going on?"

He took a closer look, and found that there was a small mechanism on the treasure chest, and when a cup was opened, it would jam and keep it open.

Finding this, Li Xuan couldn't help frowning.

"Something seems wrong."

He no longer bothered with the treasure chest, but quickly surfaced and changed his breath.

Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold his breath so easily for so long.

[Turtle Breath Method: 100% (Satisfactory)]

Checking the information in his mind, a confident smile appeared on Li Xuan's face.

Earlier today, he had finally practiced the Turtle Breath Method to the consummation realm.

As long as he is fully prepared now, it is no problem to hold his breath for two or three days without interference.

After Li Xuan's head surfaced, his tail also floated up.

At one end of the tail is a ruby necklace in the shape of a plum blossom.

This necklace looks even more extraordinary when it comes to the water, although the color is relatively low-key and restrained, but the workmanship is fine, and I am afraid it is also a valuable piece of jewelry.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and he already somewhat understood how to soak in this bath today.

"No wonder Lao Zhaotou's behavior just now is a little strange, it turns out that he is still a referee today."

Li Xuan felt that this Yongyuan Emperor was becoming more and more interesting.

Not only do you have to play fun games in the Imperial Garden, but don't forget to take them to play again when you receive your prizes.

"The same is true of the stone method that was hidden in Go last time."

Li Xuan seems to have figured out the rules of Emperor Yongyuan's questions.

As long as there are multiple winners in the Imperial Garden Competition, Emperor Yongyuan will secretly design a bonus game.

Everything about him, including the game itself, is hidden, waiting for them to discover on their own.

If no one finds out, it's like nothing happens.

But if someone finds a hidden game and finds the rules in it, they can get further great rewards.

That's how the three little ones got before.

Emperor Yongyuan hid the stone method as a hidden reward in the chess pieces of Go, and then handed it to Princess Ankang and the eldest prince separately to the two winners of the competition.

Whoever collects the opponent's pieces will be rewarded with a bouncing stone as a hidden reward.

Didn't you see that Princess Ankang has practiced the stone method to the beginning, doesn't the eldest prince know about it?

"Winner takes all!"

"The hidden game involved in Emperor Yongyuan is more interesting than the main game."

Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at the necklace on his tail and guessed the rules of today's game.

Thinking of the strange treasure chest he had found earlier at the bottom of the pool, he immediately reacted.

"I'm afraid that there are treasure chests like this under every soup pool."

"And what Old Zhao Tou said before, I'm afraid it was all ulterior."

Li Xuan looked at the figures of Princess Ankang and Yu'er in the distance, and then plunged into the bottom of the pool, intending to explore this place first.

The other side.

Yu'er brought a plate of fruit and snacks, and a pot of tea in her other hand.

"Your Highness, let's have something to eat."

"I can't stand it and remember to come up and take a rest, but don't faint, I see that there are many things to play in Yuqing Pool in addition to bathing."

Yu'er reached out and touched Princess Ankang's forehead, looking at her red cheeks, for fear that she would faint from the heat.

"Hehe, Sister Yu'er, don't worry, I have a number."

"This hot soup is really comfortable, why don't Sister Yu'er come down and soak it with me."

Princess Ankang lay on the edge of the pool and opened her mouth to eat a grape handed by Yu'er.

"It's not going to work, if someone finds out, I'm going to suffer."

"In addition to Chief Manager Zhao here, there are several other highnesses here."

Yu'er explained with a smile.

She also knew that Princess Ankang was a piece of good intentions.

But this is not their Jingyang Palace, and if they exceed the rules a little, they will definitely be held accountable.

Princess Ankang secretly said that it was a pity, and some hoped that they could also have such a pool in Jingyang Palace.

In this way, she will be able to take a hot bath with Li Xuan and Yu'er every day.

"By the way, Your Highness."

"I was looking for food, but I found a strange place."

"In this huge Yuqing Pool, it seems that there is no one else except for a few of us."

"Especially around here, it's just the three of us."

Yu'er went to prepare fruit snacks just now, but found that everything that should be here was ready, and she just needed to go and get it.

But there was no one to be seen.

Walking down in an empty place is always a little unsettling.

Especially in Yuqing Pond, there is a strong water vapor everywhere, which makes people unreal.

After listening to Yu'er's words, Princess Ankang couldn't help but say:

"It does seem a little too quiet here."

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

Try to finish the update as soon as possible today, yesterday was too dangerous.

(I watched BLG's game for a while yesterday, and who knew that it would be a full five rounds, but fortunately it won in the end.) ）
