There was laughter and joy on the island in the middle of the lake.

Happy times always pass too quickly. Before we know it, the sunset has dyed the clouds in the west red.

The naughty kid and the little loli Niuniu were reluctantly led onto the pleasure boat by Zhu Pingan and Li Shu, and the group bid farewell to the island in the middle of the lake.

Although there are two light bulbs, the naughty kid and Niu Niu, the light bulbs will never be obstacles on the road to love.

"Brother Zhu."

"Sister Li."

This can be seen from the way Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu address each other in a natural and intimate manner, as if they are alone.

After returning home in the evening, the two little ones, the naughty kid and the little loli Niuniu, had not played enough and wanted to stay in Jingxiang Garden again. As a result, Zhu Pingan once again coaxed the two children away on the grounds that there was a serious matter involving lives that night.

This time, the chubby little maid Hua'er understood what this matter of life and death meant. When she heard Zhu Ping'an coaxing the two little short legs, Hua'er's slightly chubby little face turned red like a monkey's butt.

Of course, the pretty face of the person involved, Li Shu, was even redder than hers.

When I was about to go to bed at night, it started to drizzle outside, and the sound of the drizzle was very rhythmic.

A young man is listening to the rain in a singing hall, with red candles dimming the curtains, and mandarin ducks tossing and turning in the quilt inside the tent... ...

The next morning, the drizzle outside still continued, and Zhu Ping'an got up early and had breakfast.

The two days of leave specially approved by Prince Yu have been used up, and today it is time to go to Prince Yu’s Mansion to work.

"My dear, the young lady asked me to bring you an oil coat." The little maid Hua'er came out of the bedroom with a blushing face, holding a green "oil coat" in her hands. She came to Zhu Ping'an, stood on tiptoe and helped Zhu Ping'an put it on.

Oil coats are ancient raincoats, which are the exclusive property of the rich. The oil coats of this era are made of high-quality silk and coated with special grease to prevent rain, so they are called "oil coats". The rich people in the Ming Dynasty loved to wear oil coats, Su Mu Zha, and oil boots to distinguish them from the straw raincoats and hats of ordinary people.

"Thanks."

After Zhu Ping'an put on his oil jacket and oil boots with Hua'er's help, he casually said thank you to Hua'er as he went out.

This thank you made Huaer blush for a long time.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's back gradually disappearing at the gate of Jingxiang Garden, Hua'er's heart finally calmed down a little. But when she thought of what the young lady said in the bedroom just now, Hua'er's heart started beating again. The young lady didn't even have an animation last time, so why did the young lady want me to serve the young lady... ...

"Hua'er, why are you still standing there? Where's the Tianshan Snow Lotus Jade Cream from Huichun Hall that the young lady asked you to get?"

Qin'er came out of the bedroom carrying a basin of water. Seeing Hua'er standing at the door in a daze, she raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." Hua'er couldn't help but open her little mouth and let out a cry, then spread her legs and ran out.

"Wait, bring an umbrella." Qin'er shouted from behind.

"No need. It's just two steps away." Huaer opened her little hands and placed them on her head, then ran towards the collection room of Jingxiang Garden.

The collection room was filled with Li Shu's precious belongings, including gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as precious medicinal materials, such as century-old ginseng, deer antlers, cordyceps, ganoderma lucidum, and Tianshan Snow Lotus Jade Cream. There were two keys to the Jingxiang Garden collection room, and Li Shu kept one for herself and gave the other to Hua'er.

Tianshan Snow Lotus Jade Paste is a jade paste made by Huichuntang using Tianshan Snow Lotus and several other precious medicinal materials. It is a finished medicine specially launched for female users and is very effective in reducing swelling and relieving pain.

Huaer opened the door, found the Tianshan Snow Lotus Jade Cream, put her things in place again, locked the door, and trotted all the way to the master bedroom.

The master bedroom is filled with a special scent of chestnut flowers.

Li Shu had not gotten up yet. She was leaning lazily on the bed. Her skin was as white and tender as mutton-fat jade, and her pretty face was rosy and shiny, like a ripe peach, as if water would drip out without being pinched.

"Miss, I have brought you the Tianshan Snow Lotus Jade Cream." Huaer handed the jade cream to Li Shu like presenting a treasure.

"You guys go down first. I'll call you later. Come back to serve me." After Li Shu took the Tianshan Snow Lotus Jade Cream, a layer of blush appeared on her pretty face. She glanced at Hua'er and Qin'er in the bedroom with her watery eyes and said softly.

"Yes, miss."

Hua'er and Qin'er responded by leaving and closing the door.

"This bad guy has no mercy on others. We need to hurry up and deal with Hua'er's matter..." After Hua'er and Qin'er left the room, Li Shu puffed up her cheeks and said something angrily, then retreated back into the quilt with the jade cream in her hand...

"Okay, come in and get some water."

After a while, Li Shu finally came out from under the quilt, tidied her clothes, and called softly to the door.

Hua'er and Qin'er came in with warm water and other toiletries, and began to help Li Shu get up.

As usual, Zhu Ping'an left Jingxiang Garden and went to Prince Yu's Mansion accompanied by Liu Dadao.

"Master Zhu is here."

Wu Wanfu, the leader of the imperial guards on duty outside Prince Yu's mansion, saw Zhu Ping'an from afar and stepped forward to greet him.

"Master Wu."

Zhu Ping'an dismounted and bowed to Wu Wanfu in return.

"Sir Zhu, please come over here and talk for a moment." Wu Wanfu approached Zhu Ping'an and said softly, leading Zhu Ping'an to a secluded place at the foot of the wall.

"I wonder what advice Lord Wu has for you." Zhu Ping'an followed Wu Wanfu to a secluded place, bowed with a smile.

"Master Zhu, you are joking. I am not qualified to teach you. Actually, it's nothing. I have a good friend who is a centurion in the Jinyiwei. He told me a piece of news when he came to drink with me last night. Because it concerns Master Zhu, I think I should tell Master Zhu. My friend said that Master Zhu impeached Gao Botai for occupying military farms, and the Jinyiwei has verified it to be true. My friend happened to follow Commander Lu to the north to investigate and rushed back overnight last night. I didn't know until I checked. I was really shocked when I checked. It was not just Gao Botai who occupied military farms in Xuanfu and Datong. Just the ones that have been checked out, Xuanfu has occupied more than 4,050 hectares of military farms, and Datong has less, but it is nearly 1,000 hectares of military farms. Gao Botai alone occupied more than 180 hectares of military farms. Among the generals who occupied military farms, the number of military farms occupied was among the top five... ... Because the officers involved were high-ranking and numerous, if all were arrested, the border military command of Xuanfu and Datong would collapse, endangering the border defense. Commander Lu did not dare to make a decision, so he rushed back to the capital overnight to report to the emperor and ask him to make a decision. "

Wu Wanfu leaned close to Zhu Ping'an's ear and whispered the inside information to him.
