Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Yuan Zhiqing shook his head helplessly. The Emperor Shenwu had made the final decision: "Let's go! Let's take a look!"

Hundreds of meters of curtains were being quickly removed by the guards. When Emperor Shenwu arrived with a group of civil and military ministers, the curtains were slowly falling, and what was presented before everyone was a sparkling river with colorful light. The sun was shining brightly, shining on the river, and the sparkling river surface reflected the colorful light. On the other side of the river, Lan Qingwu and the Sixth Prince were in the front, and behind them were the excited Seventh Prince, Seventh Princess, Second Prince and a group of concubines.

Concubine Liang was incredulous and said, "Colorful! It really is colored river water, but the water was clearly transparent when it was put in!"

Concubine Jiang also watched this scene with interest.

The entire curtain was withdrawn, revealing Emperor Shenwu and his entourage. Lan Qingwu led everyone to pay their respects to Emperor Shenwu across the river. Lan Qingwu only bowed slightly in salute. Several princes and princesses also bowed in salute. Only the other concubines knelt on the ground to pay their respects.

Emperor Shenwu was stunned for a moment by the colorful river, almost dazzled. He looked at the stunned envoys from several countries behind him and laughed out loud: "My queen is unparalleled in the world!"

Emperor Shenwu waved his hand to make them stand up: "My son, you are brave and intelligent! I am very pleased!"

In the crowd, Naridelü stared at the peerlessly handsome Lan Qingwu on the other side of the river with burning eyes. His eyes were almost on fire. He slowly looked away after being reminded by his subordinates next to him.

The Sixth Prince on the other side of the river said, "Brother, look, I can also make the transparent river water turn colorful. Isn't it more beautiful than the blue sea?"

Xie Yiqian couldn't wait to reply, "How on earth did you do that? You must teach me, Senior Brother!"

Old Mr. Yuan Zhiqing looked at Lan Qingwu meaningfully. He had heard about this current empress many times from his young disciples. Originally, he had maintained a neutral attitude towards this favored empress who monopolized the emperor's favor. The emperor's exclusive favor always meant an imbalance in the former dynasty and the harem. Although Emperor Shenwu was strong and could suppress all civil and military officials, once the balance and control was lost, or if the Sixth Prince had any mishap, or if the situation in the harem changed, what would be waiting for them would be a ruthless counterattack and cruel extermination.

Yuan Zhiqing was looking at Lan Qingwu. Before he could look away, he suddenly met the gaze of the Sixth Prince. Their eyes met. Yuan Zhiqing was slightly stunned. When he came to his senses, his little disciple had already looked away as if nothing had happened, as if it was just an illusion.

Forget it, Yuan Zhiqing thought, anyway, he has the Sixth Prince and Emperor Shenwu in front of him, so he should just concentrate on teaching and educating people!

The Sixth Prince, haunted by Xie Yiqian, patiently explained, "The riverbed has varying depths, and I followed my mother's advice and covered it with glazed tiles. Then I added river water, sphagnum moss, rocks, and a few live fish... and with plenty of sunlight, it naturally blooms with all sorts of colors!"

Everyone admired it and was amazed.

The Second Prince said, "What a pity that my eldest brother is not here."

The Seventh Prince said, "My eldest brother was worried about my eldest sister-in-law who was about to give birth, so he only came here for the first day and then returned to the Imperial City. It seems that my eldest brother will be a qualified father in the future."

The Third Prince watched all this with a serene expression, his wife beside him equally silent. When they returned to their tent, the Third Prince, no longer concealing his expression, turned and left, "I'm leaving now. Don't bother me unless necessary!"

The Third Prince's wife smiled sarcastically after a moment, and the personal maid said disdainfully and aggrievedly on behalf of her master, "Master, the Third Prince is going to Concubine Qiao's tent again. The Third Prince is really going too far. He clearly knew that His Majesty did not allow him to bring Concubine Qiao to the Spring Hunt, but he still secretly brought Concubine Qiao here disguised as a maid, and even implicated you, Master, by having to conceal their actions! This is really too much!"

The Third Prince's wife said, "Who said I should keep it to myself forever? Go find out when the Third Prince accompanied the envoy into Qiling Mountain! Ask quietly, tell me quietly!"
