Chapter 225 Yuqing Pond

June 15th.

It is suitable for bathing, offering sacrifices, making stoves, and paving roads.

It is forbidden to travel, plant, and break the ground.

When the sun sets in the west, the gate of Jingyang Palace is knocked.

The three little ones who have already prepared for the trip opened the door and went out directly.

Outside the door is a eunuch in flowery clothes, who is here to lead the way for them.

Emperor Yongyuan is also strange, and deliberately chose the time after dinner for them to go and take a bath.

Zhao Feng only told them the itinerary for today, but did not come to pick them up.

After all, today several princes and princesses are going to Yuqing Pool together. If Princess Ankang is given special treatment, it would be a bit inexplicable.

The carriage did not appear, so they could only walk there by themselves today.

But fortunately, Yuqing Pool is in the West Palace, and the distance is not too far.

"Your Highness, I am here to lead the way on the orders of General Manager Zhao."

Princess Ankang sat in a wheelchair, holding Li Xuan in her arms.

She smiled at the flowery eunuch, and then said politely: "Then I'll have to trouble you, eunuch."

"Your Highness is polite."

The flowery eunuch returned the greeting, and then walked in front to lead the way.

Yu'er pushed the wheelchair and followed behind him.

The weather today is a bit cold, especially after the sun sets.

There are a few thick dark clouds in the distance, and if they float over, they may bring a sudden rain.

After walking behind the flowery eunuch for half an hour, they finally saw the Jade Clear Pool from a distance.

It's not that they have sharp eyes, but that the place is too conspicuous.

The mist is constantly evaporating, forming a small cloud on the Jade Clear Pool.

And across the high courtyard wall, you can even see the corners of several rockery.

Going closer, the three big characters of Jade Clear Pool came into view.

[Jade Clear Pool]

At this time, the gate of Jade Clear Pool was closed, and several figures stood in front of the gate.

It was the eldest prince and his three siblings.

The three of them stood at the door calmly waiting, with several attendants waiting behind them.

Li Xuan thought they were the last to arrive, but he didn't expect that the Eighth Prince hadn't come yet.

"Old Eighth Prince is slower than us in wheelchairs?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

On the other side, the eldest prince, seeing Princess Ankang coming, actually nodded to her proactively.

The fourth prince and the sixth princess did the same.

This surprised Princess Ankang, but she still followed in returning the greeting.

The three of them are brothers and sisters, and as a younger sister, Princess Ankang naturally couldn't just nod and made a more formal courtesy.

The flowery eunuch who led the way took Princess Ankang to the door of Yuqing Pool and then said goodbye and left.

Compared with the eldest prince and his friends, Princess Ankang's side was a little smaller, with only a palace maid and a cat, but this was all the staff of Jingyang Palace.

Princess Ankang looked around and found that there was no one in front of the door of Yuqing Pool except them.

Just when she was ready to wait for a while, the door of Yuqing Pool slowly opened.

This clever timing made the eldest prince and his two companions frown.

The sixth princess looked directly at Princess Ankang, frowning with doubt in her eyes.

As the door opened, a mist appeared in front of everyone.

"Your Highnesses, please follow me in."

A figure walked out slowly, it was Zhao Feng.

"General Manager Zhao, there are still people who haven't arrived yet, don't you need to wait?"

The eldest prince asked.

Zhao Feng shook his head.

"No..."

He just uttered a word, and a noisy voice came from a distance.

"Haha, it's better to come at the right time than to come early!"

At the end of the road, the eighth prince ran over with his hair disheveled. He was simply wearing a white robe, as if he had just gotten out of bed.

A sharp and loud cry came from the sky, and the eighth prince's Saker Falcon was swooping down.

When the eighth prince ran to the door of Yuqing Pool, the Saker Falcon landed on his outstretched shoulder.

"Zhao Zongguan, am I not late?"

The Eighth Prince exhaled, and supported his knee with his free hand to give himself a break.

Zhao Zongguan shook his head helplessly, but still said: "The time is just right."

"That's good, that's good."

The Eighth Prince said with a smile.

He naturally heard the hidden meaning of Zhao Zongguan's words. If he was a little later, Zhao Zongguan would probably not let him in.

Zhao Feng was too lazy to say anything more, and turned around to lead the way.

The others followed Zhao Feng into the Yuqing Pool with their attendants.

The Eighth Prince looked back and found that his attendants showed no signs of catching up, so he shrugged and followed in.

Li Xuan never thought that there would be a smaller show than Princess Ankang today.

Looking at the appearance of the Eighth Prince, he couldn't even bring a attendant in.

He rushed all the way here, and he ran very fast, but it was hard for those attendants, who couldn't catch up with his speed at all.

It seems that the Eighth Prince will have to serve himself when he takes a bath later.

After entering Yuqing Pool, Zhao Feng did not take them to take a bath immediately, but took them on a tour first.

Zhao Feng briefly explained the functions of each hot spring pool.

After Zhao Feng's introduction, Li Xuan realized that this was not just a royal bath.

Each hot spring pool had its own function, and relieving fatigue was only the most basic one.

Li Xuan also saw that there was a blood pool inside. This blood pool was used to treat trauma, and the effect was excellent.

But this blood pool is in a closed state.

Thinking about it, generally speaking, Emperor Yongyuan probably wouldn't need this blood pool.

As for the other soup pools, which also have their own functions, Li Xuan listened absentmindedly and just wanted to ask Zhao Feng where the Sun and Moon Yin Yang Pool was.

But after Zhao Feng took them around for a long time, Li Xuan didn't hear the name.

At this time, Zhao Feng stopped and coughed to attract everyone's attention.

"Your Highnesses, please remember the soup pool that I introduced earlier."

"Only these soup pools are open to your highnesses."

"There are several more dangerous pools in the Yuqing Pond. His Majesty specifically ordered that His Highnesses not be allowed to approach there."

After hearing this, several princes and princesses couldn't help but be a little surprised. They didn't expect that there was a dangerous soup pool in Yuqing Pond.

But this can't help but arouse their curiosity even more.

"Manager Zhao, what kind of pools are those? Please explain them clearly so that we can avoid them."

The eighth prince asked thiefly.

"Your Highness the Eighth Prince, I am not joking."

"At that time, if the old slave discovers any dangerous behavior, according to His Majesty's instructions, the old slave will have no choice but to invite His Highnesses out of Yuqing Pond."

Zhao Feng said seriously.

Seeing that Zhao Feng was serious, the eighth prince stopped mentioning the matter and kept his mouth shut.

Since no one had any objections, Zhao Feng said to them:

"Next, your highnesses, please go to each soup pool according to your own needs."

"But please remember that each hot spring pool has male and female hot springs, so don't enter the wrong one."

Originally, Yuqing Pool did not differentiate between male and female baths, because Emperor Yongyuan used to do the bathing himself.

But today is different. It is the princes and princesses who use the Yuqing Pond, so a distinction needs to be made.

After Zhao Feng explained what he needed to explain, he turned around and left without making eye contact with Li Xuan during the entire process.

Li Xuan couldn't help but think to himself: "Do I have to find it myself?"

He always felt a little strange.

Emperor Yongyuan clearly invited them over, but did not let Zhao Feng mention the matter of the Sun and Moon Yin Yang Pond.

Manager Shang told Li Xuan about this matter, and it was impossible for Emperor Yongyuan not to know about it.

Li Xuan also didn't believe that Manager Shang and Zhao Feng dared to make their own decisions without telling Emperor Yongyuan.

"Is there any other hidden secret here?"

Today's bath always feels a little weird for some reason.

Zhao Feng just took them around here for a while, and then let them go to the hot springs they wanted to bathe in.

There is a perfunctory attitude from beginning to end.

Even the eldest prince and the others felt that today's Yuqingchi and his party were very different from what they had imagined.

The soup pools here do have rare effects, but that's about it at most.

For these princes and princesses, nothing is particularly needed.

Apart from the honor of being able to soak in a hot spring pool with Emperor Yongyuan, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him.

This reminded the eldest prince of what he had said to his mother and concubine before.

"Are there really other tests?"

Whether it's Zhao Feng's attitude or the currently too quiet Yuqingchi, there's something weird about it from the inside out.

But now Zhao Feng has disappeared, and they can't ask anything.

On the other hand, when the Eighth Prince saw that Zhao Feng had left, he immediately took action silently.

"Well, there seemed to be a quite luxurious soup pool just now. Let's go and have a look."

He didn't bring any of his attendants in today, so he acted alone.

Seeing that the eighth prince had left, Princess Ankang quietly discussed it with Li Xuan and Yu'er.

"How to say?"

"Which soup pool should we go to?"

Yu'er suggested at this time:

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao introduced a warm-up hot spring pool earlier. Why don't you go there and have a look?"

Yu'er knew that Princess Ankang had always been cold, so she suggested this.

"Axuan, what do you think?"

Li Xuan meowed and nodded.

But his eyes were staring at the direction Zhao Feng left.

"What's going on? Aren't you going to take a dip in the Sun and Moon Yin Yang Pond?"

"Do they want me to find it myself and they put aside the relationship?"

No matter how he thought about it, Li Xuan couldn't understand.

He planned to take a look before talking.

Zhao Feng didn't seem to mention the time they needed to leave before.

And at this time, a curfew is about to begin outside.

There is a high probability that they will stay in Yuqing Pond tonight.

One night was enough for Li Xuan to figure out what was going on.

Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang towards the warming soup pool introduced by Zhao Feng.

Gradually, only the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince and their respective attendants were left here.

"Brother, it seems that you really hit the mark."

The fourth prince said quietly.

The eldest prince nodded, but didn't say much.

"Brother, fourth brother, what is going on?"

The Sixth Princess asked ignorantly.

"My father invited us to Yuqing Pond today. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as taking a bath."

"I'm afraid there are other motives behind it."

The eldest prince thought for a while and then continued:

"Let's explore separately first, and then meet back here in half an hour."

"If there are no other findings, just take a bath first."

"Of course, we have to send someone to keep an eye on Lao Ba and Ankang during this period. Maybe they will find something."

"We have the most servants, so we may have some advantages."

The eldest prince looked at the Yuqing Pond where the fog was getting thicker and felt that it was becoming more and more interesting.

"The bath looks interesting today."
