After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Empress Murong is already in her forties this year, but she looks only in her twenties. Not only is she well-maintained, but also because of the emperor's love.

"General Li, these koi are nothing, the mermaid show for a while is spectacular."

As if thinking about the wonderful performance, the smile on Queen Murong's face became even bigger.

The group walked for nearly two quarters of an hour before arriving at the pavilion in the center of the lake.

When I looked at it from the bridge, I didn't realize how big the pavilion was. When I got closer, I realized that it was several times the size of an ordinary pavilion.

There are stone tables and chairs in the pavilion, with various pastries and fruits on the tables.

There was even a palace maid cooking tea aside, which was very sentimental.

Seeing Empress Murong and others, the maids and eunuchs hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Everyone lie down and let the mermaids get ready. The performance will begin in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes, Queen."

Li Youwei's interest was also aroused at this moment. They said that there are sharks in the East China Sea, who can make people cry. Could it be that the mermaid mentioned by Queen Murong is the shark mentioned in the book?

With this doubt in mind, she followed Queen Murong and sat on the stone chair in the pavilion.

"General Li, are you fifteen years old this year?"

Li Youwei didn't know why Empress Murong suddenly asked about her age, but she still answered truthfully.

"Yes."

Queen Murong nodded, "General Li is young, beautiful, and capable. I wonder what kind of man would be lucky enough to marry you?"

"The Queen has given you too much praise. Now I just want to take care of your Majesty's worries. I don't think about my own marriage for the time being."

"General Li has great ambitions, and I admire him, but if he meets the right person, he will not delay serving the country if he gets married."

"What the Queen said is absolutely true, I have written it down."

Queen Murong nodded and stopped continuing the topic, instead turning her gaze to the lake.

There was a splashing sound as the water broke, and more than a dozen mermaids emerged from the lake. The most beautiful one was lifted up and danced.

Li Youwei looked over. Although those mermaids were dragging huge and beautiful blue fish tails, he could still find that they were human beings, just wearing special clothes.

The mermaids on the lake changed their formations and cooperated with each other tacitly. It seems that they danced countless times.

Although she is a mermaid dressed as a human, with the help of her clothes and dancing posture, she is so beautiful that people cannot take their eyes away.

It was not the first time for Chu Wangchen and Gongsun Qiao to watch, especially for Chu Wangchen and Li Youwei, who was watching the mermaid performance, and he was watching Li Youwei.

A quarter of an hour later, the mermaid performance ended, and Queen Murong rewarded the mermaid with the best performance.

"General Li, what do you think?"

"very good."

Empress Murong was very grateful for Li Youwei's praise.

"It's getting late, and it's time for lunch. General Li, please follow me to the banquet hall."

"Yes."

When the mermaid performed just now, she splashed some water on the wooden floor of the pavilion. The maids and eunuchs carefully supported Empress Murong, fearing that something would happen to her.

But she is just afraid of what will happen. The queen is wearing a pair of phoenix shoes today. The shoes are embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly. They are beautiful, but the heels are thin and long.

Even when walking on flat ground, she had to be very careful. Now she stepped on the water-stained wooden floor. Even though the palace people were very careful, the queen still let out an oops and fell straight towards the lake.

If Queen Murong fell into the water, all the palace people would lose their heads, and even Chu Wangchen and others accompanying her would be punished.

Li Youwei stepped forward quickly, as fast as if he was flying over.

Under the panicked eyes of the palace people, she grabbed the railing with one hand and held her other arm firmly around Queen Murong's waist.

Li Youwei's arm strength was amazing. With a little effort, Queen Murong was pulled back to a safe distance.

The maids and eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to surround Empress Murong, "Empress, are you okay?" Empress Murong waved her hands, "Thanks to General Li, I am fine today."

The moment she almost fell into the water, Queen Murong was also frightened, and her face was still white at this time.

"General Li, I will never forget your life-saving kindness to me today."

"The Queen is very polite, it's just a little effort."

"Mother, please go back and rest first. General Li can be entertained by his sons." Chu Wangchen made timely suggestions.

"Okay, General Lee, we'll meet up another day."

Queen Murong was carefully helped away, while Li Youwei followed Chu Wangchen and others out of the palace.

It was already lunch time. We were originally scheduled to eat at the palace. But now the situation changed, so Chu Wangchen took Li Youwei and others to the largest restaurant in Zhoucheng.

When he saw the plaque of the restaurant, Li Youwei was stunned for a moment. This restaurant was actually called Yingwei Building.

Gongsun Qiao glanced at Chu Wangchen, then approached Li Youwei to help her clear up her doubts.

"General Li, this restaurant has been open for hundreds of years. It wasn't called this name before. My cousin, the prince, changed it after he came back from Nanchen. What do you think of this name?"

Gongsun Qiao's last sentence was a bit rude.

Chu Ning looked at the sky speechlessly. Princess Anping just said the name of this restaurant, which was tailor-made for General Li by His Royal Highness.

"It sounds pretty good." Li Youwei didn't expect that Chu Wangchen would put so much thought into this kind of thing, which made her calm heart feel a little turbulent.

After hearing Li Youwei's evaluation, Gongsun Qiao glanced at Chu Wangchen, seemingly asking for credit.

Chu Wangchen gave her a self-satisfied look and called Li Youwei to go to the private room on the second floor.

Gongsun Qiao curled her lips and followed him up to the second floor.

The elegant room by the window on the second floor is very light and elegantly decorated. The three-legged incense burner at the door is burning incense, and the faint smell of cedar permeates the entire room.

Li Youwei couldn't help but look at Chu Wangchen. The smell was exactly the same as his. It seemed like it was his exclusive room.

Gongsun Qiao wanted to step forward to help Li Youwei clear up his doubts, but Chu Wangchen interrupted him first.

"Ahem, Anping, you seem to have talked a bit too much today."

When he said this, Chu Wangchen looked at Gongsun Qiao with warning and threat in his eyes.

Gongsun Qiao shrugged and smiled, "Don't worry, cousin Prince, I only say what needs to be said. From now on, I will shut up."

Chu Wangchen ignored her and took Li Youwei to his seat.

Chu Ning ordered people to serve the food and went to guard the door.

Chu Wangchen lightly lifted his sleeves and poured a cup of tea for Li Youwei himself.

"First have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

"Prince Wangchen, you don't have to be polite. I can just do it myself."

Li Youwei is really not used to it. With Chu Wangchen's body, he still needs others to take care of him.

"You are my most distinguished guest in Dongzhou, so naturally I will come."

Gongsun Qiao was a little indifferent. Man, he is really humble in front of the woman he likes.

The food arrived soon. As expected of a time-honored restaurant, the food tasted very good. Li Youwei even ate half a bowl of rice.

Due to his health, Chu Wangchen didn't eat much, but he finished it later than Li Youwei.

"General Li, it's still early, let's go to Lian Lake to pick lotus flowers."

The lotus flowers in Dongzhou are very beautiful. There are large areas of brightly blooming lotus flowers inside. Because they are so beautiful, the most people there are young men and women who are in love with each other.
