Soon, Xiang Nan and the other three were invited by Xiao Jingzi into a comfortable carriage, and with a team of people and horses, they went out of the palace gate, and after going out from the city gate, they went to the hot spring villa twenty miles east of the imperial capital.

Ding Rong kept lifting the curtains to look outside.

Xiang Nan asked, "What, what are you looking at? The scenery along the way is beautiful?"

"It's not. I'm looking at this team. ”

Ye Zhi was leaning against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes: "What's wrong with the team?"

"On TV, when the emperor travels, aren't the basic personnel accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids in addition to the guards?" replied Ding Rong. Bai Yuelan wasn't here, so she wasn't worried that their conversation would appear in the online drama, so she was casual.

"Wait, what...... TV?" interjected to the south.

Fourth Senior Brother, you really are not an "outside person"! Ding Rong replied: "It's just some kind of machine that can display all kinds of pictures. Don't interject, you've interrupted my train of thought. What did I just say?"

Xiang Nan sat aside silently, how could he feel more and more that Ding Rong and the second senior brother had some kind of special connection, he didn't understand the topic she was talking about, but the second senior brother understood......

"You were talking about the emperor's entourage just now. Ye Zhi reminded.

"Oh, yes. But in this team, I found that there were no palace maids. "Ding Rong Road. "After watching it for a long time, I suspect that among so many people, I am the only woman. ”

Ye Zhi thought for a while and asked, "If that's the case, you must avoid meeting with the emperor." ”

"Huh?"

"Men have times when they become beasts. ”

"You mean...... No way, he's not interested in me. Ding Rong waved his hand.

Hearing these words, Xiang Nan suddenly realized what they were talking about, and hurriedly interjected: "Even if he didn't think you were attractive before, but as soon as you soak in the hot spring, the heat blocks his dog's eyes, and you may be beautiful and delicious!"

Why? She is so beautiful when she can't see clearly? She looks so shabby? Ding Rong listened, his anger burned, he glared at Xiang Nan, and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, so you see me like this?"

Xiang Nan hurriedly avoided Ding Rong's angry glare, and lifted the curtain to look outside.

Ye Zhi smiled darkly, pulled Ding Rong's little hand, clasped his fingers, and whispered in Ding Rong's ear: "How many people do you want to like?

There are others here, and he is too presumptuous. Ding Rong's ears were about to heat up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but push his elbow back and hit Ye Zhi's chest.

The two of them fought a little until they shouted to the south: "Hot Spring Villa has arrived." ”

---

As soon as he settled down in the hot spring villa, the little eunuch brought a table of food, but the little eunuch also passed on a message: after an hour, ask Miss Ding to make a barbecue for two and give it to the emperor.

Ye Zhi arched his hand and asked, "May I ask why I didn't see the palace maid accompanying me on this trip?"

"The emperor has always disliked women serving closely. In fact, we eunuchs can also complete the same work of serving His Majesty the Emperor, without the need for women. The little eunuch said proudly.

Ding Rong asked, "Is there a woman in the hot spring villa?"

The little eunuch looked sideways and said unceremoniously: "Why do you care so much?"

Ye Zhi hurriedly stuffed a gold ingot to the little eunuch and said, "She is my fiancée, she is timid. It's not pretty, but we need to be careful, don't we?"

The little eunuch who put the gold ingot into his sleeve immediately replied thoughtfully: "I see, the son takes good care of Miss Ding. Actually, that's too much to worry about. First of all, over the years, princes from all walks of life have offered many beauties to the palace, but ordinary beauties cannot enter the emperor's eyes. Besides, I don't know if there are any attendants in the hot spring villa itself, but I saw His Royal Highness King Zhao take two beautiful girls to the side hall. ”

"Oh. Ding Rong thought to himself, that's good. Finally, she asked: "Is the barbecue a big portion? Last time, the emperor and Sun Jiaotou both ate a lot. ”

"If you look at it small, you don't have to have two large portions. Today's other one is to entertain King Rui, who is not very interested in eating, every time he sees him, it is just an elegant taste, and he has never seen him eat a large piece. ”

"King Rui?" asked Xiang Nan.

"His Royal Highness King Rui is the son of King Wu, and His Royal Highness King Wu is the emperor's cousin, so King Rui is the emperor's distant cousin. ”

"I see...... We haven't heard much of the name of King Rui. ”

"King Rui is different from King Zhao and King Zheng, he is a virtuous king who helps the emperor govern with eight hundred serious people. The little eunuch replied. Everyone heard the implication of his words, that is, King Zhao and King Zheng were not "work assistants" like King Rui, but the emperor's playmates. "However, I heard that King Rui is still holding a cabinet meeting in the afternoon, so I don't know if I will come tonight or tomorrow morning. With that, the little eunuch withdrew.

There are many natural springs in the hot spring resort, and the springs have been renovated to form hot spring pools of various sizes.

Under a gazebo, there is a large hot spring pool, and more than a dozen lights and candles are lit around, which is bright and transparent. His Majesty the Emperor had already taken off his golden crown, taken off his clothes, and soaked comfortably in the hot spring pool wearing only trousers.

"You really can't come down to bubbles?" he asked Sun Dong, who was standing straight not far away.

Sun Dong shook his head: "Your Majesty traveled this time, why did you bring so few Royal Forest Army sergeants?"

"Why do you bring so many people?"

"The number of people who want to assassinate His Majesty has never decreased!"

"Isn't it you? ”

"So, I'd better work with the Guards to keep Your Majesty safe. Sun Dong said. It means that you have to be a guard and soak in some hot springs!

"I don't know how to enjoy it, Adong, I really don't know what fun you have in life?"

"The minister has his own pleasures. ”

"I know, I know, it's just researching and fighting, so what about this?"

"The study of martial arts is the lifelong pursuit of Chen. ”

"I can't talk anymore! The emperor scratched his head, turned around and shouted, "Xiao Jingzi, call King Zhao." ”

Xiao Jingzi was busy inviting King Zhao.

King Zhao came in a hurry, he was a fat middle-aged man with cloudy yellow eyes. He didn't strip off his clothes and go into the water, but just said to the emperor: "Xiao Wang has something to report to His Majesty privately, please ask the emperor to send away the guards and eunuchs." ”

Although he didn't know what King Zhao was doing, seeing King Zhao's eyes shining, the emperor was also a little curious, and waved his hand: "You guys stand down." ”

The others left in turn, but Sun Dong stood still.

King Zhao frowned: "Sun Jiaotou, why are you still here?"

"The emperor needs close guards. ”

"This hot spring villa has long been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and not even a single mosquito can fly in, what are you worried about?"

Sun Dong remained motionless.

King Zhao leaned into his ear and said, "Could it be that Sun Jiaotou still wants to see the emperor's mandarin ducks playing in the water?"
