Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu and their entourage rode their horses straight out of the imperial city and arrived at the hot spring imperial villa in the suburban palace in more than half an hour.

It was warm as spring inside the Hot Springs Royal Manor. The group could clearly feel the temperature rising. Prince Yu was thoughtful and said, "This is a great place."

The prince nodded and said, "My Queen Mother is weak and cold, and the hot springs here have the effect of dispelling cold and strengthening the body. My Queen Mother likes it very much."

"Look at the flowers and trees here. They are so much more vibrant and lush than those outside. What's even more amazing is that in the winter when it's snowy and icy, the hot springs are filled with flowers and plants, and butterflies flutter around. It's a truly magical hot spring spectacle!"

The Island King was indeed very interested: "Oh? This is rare."

The prince said, "In fact, some islands have many volcanoes due to changes in the earth's crust, which can also form hot springs. Your Highness the Prince of the Island should have seen them."

The Islet King was surprised and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite familiar with our Sea Nation. However, islands with volcanoes are dangerous islands. I have ordered that all of them be abandoned, so naturally those hot springs are abandoned as well!"

The prince smiled and said, "It's right to abandon an island with a volcano. It can be uninhabited, but the rich resources on it should be fully utilized. Moreover, there are experienced elders in the Sea Country who can judge the patterns of volcanic eruptions. It won't be difficult for Your Highness to soak in the hot springs whenever he wants."

Prince Yu thought that he had only been on the throne for half a year, and after resolving internal troubles, he was now embroiled in external threats. He had no energy to focus on other issues. However, he was genuinely curious about how Crown Prince Dasheng knew all this. "Your Highness, you know a lot! Have you ever been at sea?"

The prince shook his head. "I do want to go to the deep sea, and I have traveled to many places, but I often have to return home before I get that far. These are all recorded in books. My mother is a well-read woman, and she knows everything. I have also learned a lot."

Prince Yu instantly understood and was extremely envious: "The Queen is truly admirable! She lives in the imperial city yet has such a broad mind."

The prince said nothing, but just smiled and said: "If Your Highness Prince Yu is interested, those books can be given to you."

King Yu was not polite, "Thank you very much."

The Crown Prince and the Prince of Yu took a leisurely half-circle stroll, beholding a vibrant tapestry of blossoms and trees. Strolling past, they were greeted by an quaint, picturesque landscape. Passing through the quaint gate, a picturesque garden unfolded before their eyes. Winding paths, stacked rockeries, and winding paths led to secluded passages—every corner was a meticulously crafted painting. The courtyard was carpeted with verdant grass, a trickle of water flowed from an ancient well, and the quaint buildings came into view, imbued with a unique, ancient charm. Within the inner courtyard, towering ancient trees stood like guardians, silently watching over this ancient land. The stone steps and eaves, like a poem, a painting, silently unfolded before their eyes.

Arriving at the Butterfly Pavilion at the Hot Springs Royal Manor, the Crown Prince invited Prince Yu to take a seat. The two sat on the left and right. Prince Yu looked at the lush flowers and plants and the dancing butterflies around him and exclaimed in amazement, "This pavilion is so elegant!"

As they were talking, soft and elegant music sounded, and dancers came onto the stage. The slender and beautiful women danced gracefully, contrasting beautifully with the colorful butterflies flying leisurely.

The Crown Prince offered the Prince of Yu a cup of peach blossom wine and said, "This place was built according to my mother's wishes. Everything is designed to be comfortable and exquisite. Today, let's not discuss state affairs, but rather romance!"

"it is good!"

Prince Yu drank it all in one gulp: "I thought this wine would be very mellow, but I didn't expect it to be very spicy!"

"When this wine was brewed, it was divided into two types. One is for my father, the emperor, to drink, and the other is for my mother, the empress."

Prince Yu said with a smile, "Your Highness, please don't tell me that this wine was also brewed by the Queen."

The prince smiled happily: "Your Highness Prince Yu's guess is correct!"

Prince Yu was really envious this time. This imperial city was where he suffered a lot in his childhood, and it was also where he gained hope. The Sea Country was where he was reborn. Prince Yu had complicated feelings towards this place. If it weren't for the people he cared about, he wouldn't want to come back here.

But after returning here, the King of Islet found that as he became stronger, the painful memories of his childhood were slowly fading. He thought, the thin, tiny, and suffering Ah Shan had disappeared! He was already the king of the Sea Kingdom. Those who hated and resented him had long been defeated by him. He had finally grown into a strong man!

The prince had sensed the change in Prince Yu's mood and was taken aback. If Lan Qingwu were here, he would have told the prince that this was Ah Shan's own self-healing. Childhood wounds sometimes take a lifetime to heal. Besides the gifts of others, one's own strength is the most important thing!

The prince carefully arranged singing, dancing, acrobatic performances, etc. King Yu couldn't help but applaud when watching the wonderful fire-breathing, turntable and other programs. The two talked about everything under the sun, not the affairs of state, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

The Crown Prince specially arranged a hot spring bath that afternoon. When Prince Yu came out, several princes had already arrived at the Hot Springs Royal Manor. The Crown Prince introduced them, "Your Highness Prince Yu, you should have seen them. These are my eldest, second, and seventh brothers. We are going hunting in Qiling Mountain this afternoon. Is Your Highness Prince Yu interested?"

The King of Islet's eyes were indeed filled with surprise. After greeting each of them, he said, "I have heard a lot about Qiling Mountain. Now that I have reached the mountain gate, how can I not enter?"

The Prince's phoenix eyes shone with light: "Okay! Give the order and have the Crown Princess wait for our prey to be prepared as a snack!"

Soon, a group of people rode out of the hot spring villa and headed towards Qiling Mountain.

The magical Qiling Mountain opened the eyes of King Yu. Several mountain passes were directly controlled by the royal family. No one could enter Qiling Mountain without the royal token. King Yu had a happy hunting trip in Qiling Mountain. The deeper he went, the more he felt that there was a reason why Da Sheng was so powerful. Qiling Mountain was rich in resources and exotic flowers and plants, which made King Yu overwhelmed. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be underestimated. With his own skills, he had never won a hunting competition with the Crown Prince in Qiling Mountain. Of course, the Crown Prince's familiarity with the terrain here was also one of the reasons, but this could not deny the excellence of the successor of Da Sheng.

A hearty competition brought the two people closer together. The feeling of mutual respect and rivalry between the strong made the Prince and the King of the Island admire each other even more.

When the group returned home after having a great time, it was already dark. They were talking and laughing as they walked towards the main courtyard of Wenquan Royal Manor. Halfway through, they heard the sweet laughter of a woman in the main courtyard.

A few people paused, and two rows of palace maids came with palace lanterns. After a few moments, the main road was illuminated by palace lanterns as bright as day.

The Crown Princess walked over with several palace maids and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yu." She then nodded to the princes.

The eldest and second princes quickly replied, "The Crown Princess is fine."

The Seventh Prince said respectfully, "I am blessed, my sister-in-law."

Prince Xu helped him up: "Stand up! Is Yueyue here?"

The Seventh Princess jumped out from behind: "Brother Crown Prince, you are back!"

The Seventh Princess did not forget to greet them: "My Royal Brothers, how are you? I greet His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

The prince shook his head and said lovingly, "What are you talking about, girl? Forget it, don't be so restrained outside the palace."

The Seventh Princess blinked her eyes: "Crown Prince is right! Sister Zi Ning, come quickly!"

Qian Zining walked last, bowing gracefully: "Etiquette cannot be abandoned! Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and the other princes!"

The prince gave her a hand and said, "Sister Zi Ning, please stand up. Today, we are not to be separated outside the palace!"

Qian Zining smiled and said, "Yes!"

As soon as she looked up, she saw King Yu staring at her with a sharp gaze, and the smile on Qian Zining's lips deepened.
