The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The entire Prince Sheng's Mansion, including its pavilions, towers, waterside terraces and corridors, all display its dignity and elegance.

There are wide bluestone avenues everywhere in the mansion, and lush sycamore trees are planted on both sides of the roads.

That day, Xu Ke took Dingdang and Anxiang for a stroll in the palace.

Walking along the avenue, you can see a magnificent garden.

In the garden, exotic flowers and plants compete with each other in beauty, and colorful butterflies dance among the flowers.

Xu Keke couldn't help but stop and watch, with a surprised smile on his face, while Dingdang clapped excitedly beside him.

"Miss, this flower is so beautiful!"

Anxiang also smiled and nodded.

A winding stream runs through it. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom and see koi swimming happily.

Xu Keke squatted down and teased the koi in the water.

Dingdang and Anxiang were scattering feed for the fish to attract more koi for the princess to play with.

There is an exquisite pavilion by the stream, with a stone table and stone benches in it.

Xu Ke greeted Dingdang and Anxiang.

"Come, let's rest here, drink some tea, and enjoy the scenery. It's so pleasant."

Rested for a while in the pavilion.

The three of them continued walking deeper into the place, where they found a quiet bamboo forest.

The breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

Xu Ke closed her eyes and felt the tranquility of the moment.

Dingdang playfully shuttled through the bamboo forest.

Anxiang followed carefully behind.

There is also a cobblestone path in the bamboo forest, which is winding and secluded and fascinating.

At the end of the bamboo forest is a spacious martial arts training ground.

Various weapons were neatly arranged on one side, and the ground was trampled very firmly.

This is Xu Ke’s first time here, and it would be a lie to say that he is not curious.

"Is this where the prince and his guards usually practice martial arts?"

"Well, here are eighteen kinds of weapons."

Anxiang answered the young lady's questions.

Xu Ke picked up a sword that looked relatively light and waved it in the air a few times.

Dingdang was so scared that she quickly stopped him.

"Miss, this is unacceptable."

Anxiang was laughing secretly on the side.

"Don't worry, Miss, nothing will happen. I'm watching you!"

Xu Ke looked around.

There are several warehouses around the martial arts training ground to store weapons and sundries.

She put away her sword and suddenly thought of the two treacherous people, Shen Qingfeng and Xu Yuanyuan.

So he asked Anxiang who was standing beside him.

"Didn't you say last night that you wanted to go to the Shen Mansion to take a look? Did you go?"

An Xiang nodded.

Last night she went out to burn paper money for her sister, and then she went to the Shen Mansion.

"I went to check last night. Shen Qingfeng and Xu Yuanyuan didn't live together. Instead, he was having an intimate relationship with Xu Yuanyuan's maid."

Xu Ke chuckled.

"I saw from the beginning that he was not a good person, and my cousin had it all her own fault.

This is the life she wants, and there will be a surprise waiting for her in a few months!"

Dingdang and Anxiang wonder what other surprises there are.

Besides, how could the lady know in advance what would happen a few months later?

Seeing the young lady continue walking forward, the two of them hurried to catch up.

Here is a group of rockery that are scattered in an orderly manner.

There are waterfalls and springs on the rockery, with splashing water, which forms gorgeous rainbows under the reflection of the sun.

Xu Ke looked at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but admire it.

“It’s truly a work of art, incredibly beautiful!”

Dingdang and Anxiang also nodded in agreement.

Beneath the rockery is an artificial lake.

The lake water is as green as jade, with lotus leaves in the fields and lotus flowers blooming, exuding fragrance.

Xu Ke can stroll along the lake and feel particularly relaxed.

She remembered the words the original owner left when she left.

The original owner just didn't want to repeat the same mistakes and didn't want her loved ones to be hurt because of her.

Does it mean that the original owner hated Shen Qingfeng?

Of course she hated him. After all, in her previous life, Shen Qingfeng had killed all of the original owner's relatives.

The original owner may have felt that he did not have the ability, so he did not say anything about revenge.

Xu Keke walked and thought, and before he knew it, he arrived at the front yard.

There are several special reception courtyards in the front yard, and the courtyards are spacious and bright.

It is decorated solemnly yet elegantly, making it a great place to receive distinguished guests.

In a corner of the palace is the hot spring pavilion.

The pavilion is surrounded by green trees and there is also a palace inside.

The hot spring water is crystal clear, and is surrounded by exquisite screens and comfortable lounge chairs.

Xu Ke said excitedly to Dingdang and Anxiang.

"We can come here often to soak in the hot springs and relieve our fatigue."

Anxiang shook her head repeatedly.

"Miss, this hot spring pavilion is reserved for the prince. No one else can use it except you and the prince."

Xu Ke didn't insist, because one should not go too far.

Respect for hierarchy is the law of survival in this era. Don’t try to change it easily.

This is originally the territory of the Dog Prince. Well, it’s his territory and he has the final say.

The main reason is that the weather is getting hotter, which is not a good time to take a hot spring bath.

Next, Xu Keke and her two maids went to visit the courtyard where the servants worked.

Every time she went to a place, the supervisor gave her a detailed introduction.

When it came to the maid's side to do the needlework, the head nanny and the maids bowed respectfully to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke raised his hand with a smile.

"No need to be so polite, I just stopped by to take a look."

The head nanny introduced respectfully.

"Princess, our sewing room is responsible for sewing and repairing clothes for everyone in the mansion. All the maids are very skillful."

Xu Keke looked at the neatly arranged needlework and fabrics and nodded in approval.

“You can see that everyone is very attentive.”

She picked up an embroidered handkerchief and looked at it carefully. She couldn't help but praise the delicate needlework and exquisite pattern.

"This craftsmanship is truly exquisite, even better than what's sold outside."

Hearing Xu Keke's praise, the maids in the sewing room all looked happy.

At this time, a young and beautiful maid spoke boldly.

"As long as the princess likes it, please let me know if you need anything in the future."

Xu Ke glanced at her indifferently.

This maid is very proactive.

Moreover, she has bright eyes and white teeth, and is very beautiful.

Wouldn't it be a shame to keep such a beauty in the sewing room?

I have to ask her name so I can be prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke asked without leaving any trace.

"What's your name?"

The maid was flattered and bowed in reply.

"My name is Xu'er."

"Well, I understand. You guys get busy!"

After saying that, he left the sewing room with Dingdang's fragrance.

Afterwards, Xu Keke visited other places under the guidance of the head nanny.

On the way, Xu Ke suddenly asked.

"Anxiang, isn't there a palace doctor in the palace? I remember that the doctor Zhang who treated Dingdang's wound was from Prince Sheng's palace?"

"Yes, Imperial Doctor Zhang lives in the front courtyard of the palace. The front courtyard also houses the prince's staff."

Anxiang paused, then spoke in a low voice.

"The prince has ordered that servants in the palace are not allowed to take the princess to meet men outside the family."

Xu Ke clicked his tongue twice.

"It's not like I haven't seen Doctor Zhang before. He's even older than my father from my mother's side."

Considering that his current status is different from before, Xu Ke changed the topic.

"Then if I want to ask Doctor Zhang to take my pulse, is that okay?"
