Chapter 216: Peach Blossoms Under the Moon

Feng Jingsu and Wen Yuan were assigned to the "Dongmei Pavilion." Entering the courtyard, they were greeted by the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms and the steaming mist of spring water. The courtyard was exquisitely laid out, with sixteen rooms arranged around a hot spring pool. Spacious and tranquil, it was their ideal retreat. At Feng Jingsu's invitation, Gu Yichen and Ji Junche also joined them. Beside the pool, several delicate stone lanterns emanated a soft glow, illuminating the surroundings with a warm and tranquil atmosphere. The four of them sat by the pool, feeling the steam rising and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingering in their nostrils, a truly relaxing experience.

A few people were floating on a tray in the hot spring pool, a wine bottle and four small wine glasses floating on it, gleaming white in the moonlight. Gu Yichen uncorked the bottle, and the fragrance of peach blossoms overflowed. He poured four glasses of wine and raised his glass with a smile, "This is the new Peach Blossom Wine. It may not be old enough, but it has a unique flavor. Come on, brothers, cheers!"

"Good wine!" Feng Jingsu took a sip and immediately felt that the wine was not irritating to the throat, but had a high alcohol content.

"It is indeed a strong liquor, but the taste is so pure." Wen Yuan also responded with surprise.

"This is the unique brewing method of our Taoyuan Villa." Gu Yichen said as he added more wine for the few people.

"If Young Master Feng San and Lord Wen like it, we can discuss cooperation on this wine in a few days." Ji Junche did not forget to seize the opportunity and proposed cooperation.

"Haha, Jun Che, don't be so polite! We'll talk about these businesses later, and we'll talk in detail when you come to the government office. Wen Yuan and I are waiting for you." Feng Jingsu laughed and drank, and the taste of peach blossom drunkenness was endless.

Meanwhile, Feng Xinying was assigned to the "Summer Lotus Residence." Entering the courtyard, permeated by the fragrance of lotus, the clear water and gently swaying lotus leaves resembled a painting. Lanterns dotted the edge of the pool, their light gently casting a shimmering light on the water. Admiring this tranquil beauty, she pondered a few thoughts. Seeing Lu Ling'er about to leave, Feng Xinying immediately took her hand and coquettishly said, "Ling'er, please stay with me tonight. It's so quiet here, and it's too lonely to be alone. Let's soak in the hot springs together and chat, okay?"

Lu Linger gently stroked her abdomen. Surrounded by the hot spring water, she felt a warm current slowly seeping through her body, washing away the fatigue of her journey. She leaned against the edge of the pool, her eyes gentle and a peaceful smile on her face, as if she were having a silent conversation with the upcoming life in this tranquil mist.

Feng Xinying was exceptionally attentive, fearing any mishaps. She spoke softly to Lu Ling'er, occasionally looking up to check her expression, as if concerned about her well-being. However, her gaze didn't linger entirely on Lu Ling'er's face. Instead, it would occasionally drift to certain details of her body, particularly her close-fitting undergarment, which, soaked by the hot spring water, clung to her skin, its outline faintly visible.

The candlelight flickered, and mist rose from the hot spring pool, filling the space between them like a natural barrier. Feng Xinying's heartbeat quickened, her gaze growing more focused as she tried to penetrate the hazy mist, searching for the birthmark unique to the palace. Her heart raced, her pace involuntarily quickening—she had heard of the birthmark's significance. Confirming Lu Ling'er's identity would reveal much.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the flickering candlelight and the mist obscured everything. Unwilling to give up, Feng Xinying's gaze continued to wander over Lu Ling'er, hoping to find even the slightest clue. The pool's water rippled gently, reflecting the starlight and candlelight, like a dream.

Lu Linger seemed to feel Feng Xinying's gaze. She tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, "Sister Xinying, the hot spring is indeed very comfortable and my body has relaxed a lot. But, it seems that you are a little uneasy?" Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of teasing, as if she didn't realize Feng Xinying's true intention.

Feng Xinying was startled, but she still maintained a smile on her face and replied casually, "No, no, it's just that seeing you so relaxed makes me relax too." She forced herself to remain calm and adjusted her emotions, not wanting Lu Linger to notice anything unusual.

The two continued chatting in the hot springs, the atmosphere gradually relaxing. However, Feng Xinying still had questions in her mind. She knew that if she wanted to uncover Lu Ling'er's true identity, it would probably take more time and careful planning. This hot spring pool wouldn't bring her the answers she wanted, for now.

"Miss Feng, this is Peach Blossom Wine. Please enjoy it." Xiao Cui gently squatted down, carefully placed the poured wine on the tray, and handed it to Feng Xinying. Her movements were elegant and delicate, and a respectful smile was on her face, clearly trying to bring a touch of joy to everyone.

Feng Xinying took the wine glass, a hint of discontent on her face. She was filled with anxiety over not being able to clearly see Lu Ling'er's birthmark, and her entire being seemed consumed by a sense of annoyance. Without hesitation, she raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The wine flowed down her throat, refreshing and sweet, then a warm feeling surged through her body, causing her to squint slightly.

"Great wine!" Feng Xinying's heart trembled, her eyes widening as if to say, "This wine is so mellow!" In that instant, all her worries were dispelled by this sip of fine wine. She then felt a slight intoxication rising, and a joyful smile involuntarily bloomed on her face, as if even her worries had drifted away with the aroma of the wine.

"How is it, Sister Xinying? Is it delicious?" Seeing her like this, Lu Linger couldn't help but chuckle, and the tension in her heart seemed to ease a lot at this moment.

"It's delicious!" Feng Xinying exclaimed in delight. She couldn't help but swirl her glass, her eyes gleaming with excitement, her cheeks flushed slightly from the alcohol, making her look charming and beautiful. At that moment, she had completely forgotten her previous anxiety and instead immersed herself in the rich aroma of wine and the warm mist, savoring the comfort of the moment.

"Another drink!" Feng Xinying waved to Xiao Cui, a smile on her face, as if looking forward to more wine and laughter. Although her doubts still existed, they were no longer as strong. At least at this moment, the hot springs and fine wine made her feel the beauty and warmth of life.

Steam gradually rose from the hot spring pool, and the courtyard under the night sky seemed peaceful and warm. Everyone dispersed in their respective courtyards, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of this hot spring villa.
