Double-faced prince and concubine

After noon, it's still hot!

There are no high-rise buildings that absorb heat quickly and dissipate heat slowly, and there are no air conditioners and waste emissions from cars. How can it be so hot?Xia Yue'er wondered if the Fulin City of Ruolan Kingdom was built on the Flame Mountain?

It's dog days, and she's catching up with the hottest time of the year.

And her physique belongs to the typical type who is afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer. In winter, her hands and feet are cold, but in summer, her palms are sweaty.

"It's so hot—I can't take it anymore—" Xia Yueer yelled out boredly.

Qingqiu gave an idea, asking someone to put the water just drawn from the well into a big wooden barrel, and let the princess soak in the water to cool off.

But after soaking for a long time, the water in the wooden barrel became hot, and she began to complain again: "No, if this continues, I will be so hot that I can boil shrimps! I will die of heat!"

Thinking of last night, Zhongli Ruixuan took her to a small lake where the water was really cool.That lake should also be in Prince Rui's mansion, right?

Xia Yue'er found Fang Siyuan and asked him if there was a small lake in the mansion. The bottom of the lake was paved with stones and surrounded by stones, and there were several large ginkgo trees beside it.

Hearing Xia Yueer's question, Fang Siyuan's face changed greatly: "How does the princess know about Mengyin Lake?"

Mengyin Lake?The lake turned out to have such a nice name.Xia Yue'er thought to herself, the lake in Prince Rui's mansion would be easy to deal with, she would go to soak in the lake water again!

"It's too hot, I want to go to that lake to cool off, Manager Fang, take me to Mengyin Lake."

However, Fang Siyuan showed embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "Reporting to Wangfei, Mengyin Lake is a forbidden area in Prince Rui's residence... Without the permission of the prince, no one can enter."

Forbidden place?It is the forbidden place, Xia Yueer is even more interested and insists on Fang Siyuan to take her there.

Fang Siyuan was helpless, the concubine could not disobey her words, so she took her to a yard.

Outside the courtyard, you can see a few tall ginkgo trees growing inside, Xia Yueer is sure that this is the right place.

But the courtyard gate was locked tightly, and the big lock on it looked rusty, as if it hadn't been touched for a long time.There used to be a plaque on the gate of the courtyard, but it was also removed long ago.

Xia Yueer ordered Fang Siyuan to open the courtyard door, but Fang Siyuan found it difficult: "Report to the princess, forgive me for not being able to follow orders! Bring the princess to this courtyard, the old slave has already made a mistake, and the gate of this courtyard must never be opened. Besides, the old slave did not key."

"You are the chief steward of Prince Rui's residence, and you don't have a key, so who has the key? It can't be kept by the prince himself, right?" Xia Yueer asked again.

"No, after the lord locked the courtyard door, he threw the key into the courtyard." Fang Siyuan replied.

The courtyard sealed by the prince himself?Xia Yue'er became even more curious, there must be something tricky in this yard!

"Why did the prince seal this courtyard?" Xia Yueer continued to ask.

Fang Siyuan's expression became even more difficult. Xia Yue'er's question was about taboos in Prince Rui's residence, he dared not to say it, and he couldn't say it!

No matter how Xia Yueer asked, Fang Siyuan was in a daze and refused to reveal a word.

Qing Qiu didn't know why, after she came to Prince Rui's Mansion, the courtyard was sealed off, and she was not allowed to ask or speak.Xia Yue'er thought that Ziyan had only been here for less than a month, and she didn't know, so she didn't bother to ask her.

"Forget it, let's find a place with water!" Xia Yue'er no longer made things difficult for Fang Siyuan, sighed, turned and left.

Fang Siyuan has a suggestion: "If the princess is hot, it's better to go to the rainy lotus pavilion to enjoy the coolness. During the dog days, the lotus flowers are in full bloom. The lotus next to the rainy lotus pavilion will be in full bloom. It's cool and you can enjoy the lotus."

That being the case, Xia Yue'er will go to the Yuhe Pavilion to cool off, look at the lotus, pick lotus pods and so on, it won't be too hot to be boring.
