After the Dragon Boat Festival, Fu Zhixing and Yan Tongzhu took 300 imperial guards, as well as entourages and personal guards to go out of the city to investigate on-site.

Fu Zhixing's outing had little impact on Yanhu's daily life. Every morning, after having breakfast with his children, he sent them to the princess's mansion, he would handle the family affairs for an hour. At noon, the children came over, had lunch, and went back to the yard to have a nap. In the afternoon, it was Yanhu's free time, and occasionally he would be asked by Han to accompany her and Princess Chengyang to apply cards.

On the evening of the 16th, King Su's family of four returned to Yandu, which had been away for several years. The next day, the couple took their two sons to the palace to pay tribute to the emperor and Queen Shen. Guo Baochan gave birth to their second son Tang Luan for King Su on the ninth day of the sixth month of the tenth year of Changning.

Two days later, Guo Baochan packed up the things he brought back and ordered someone to send them to his friends such as Yan Hu, Yu Qingqing, etc., and sent invitations to invite everyone to attend the flower viewing banquet.

On the day of the flower viewing banquet, Yan Hu went there early in the morning. Friends met again after a long separation. They joked with each other. Yan Hu said Guo Baochan, "Heroic."

Guo Baochan reached out and hooked her chin, "It's not as graceful as you."

Yan Huo patted her hands away, "Where are your two sons?"

"Come here later. Are your meeting gift ready?" Guo Baochan asked with a smile.

"You are so polite." Yan Huo smiled.

"Is it necessary to be polite to you?" Guo Baochan glanced at her, "Why didn't you bring your daughter? It would be so that I can see if she looks like you or Fu Wujiu."

"She went out of the city with her great-grandmother to go to the village to escape the summer heat. The weather was too hot and she liked to sweat, which made her body full of prickly heat." Yan Huo explained.

"It's quite hot. I've only been back for a few days and a lot of prickly heat has grown on my neck." Guo Baochan slapped the fan a few times.

"But there is not enough ice? I'll send some to you." Yan Huo asked with a frown.

"That's good, thank you." Guo Baochan smiled, "Thank you, thank you." There is ice in the royal ice cellar, but it also has a share. Guo Baochan doesn't want to ruin his reputation because of this little thing.

Yan Huo spat lightly, "I just said that there is no need to be polite to me, I'm getting polite again now."

While speaking, Tang Yi and Tang Luan came over, and Guo Baochan smiled and said, "Please pay tribute to your aunt in the Yan family."

The brother was about to salute, but Guo Baochan said again: "No, I should call you aunt."

"Whatever you want, you can call it." Yan Huo smiled indifferently.

Guo Baochan thought for a while, "Then call me aunt."

The two brothers saluted and said, "Please my aunt."

Yan Huo picked up Tang Luan and asked the maid to give him a meeting gift. "I think Yi'er and Luan'er are both very well-behaved, so they are as naughty as you wrote in your letter."

"They are pretending to be good. When they are in southern Xinjiang, they fight with people every day, exactly like them. They either play with knives or swing sticks. I wish I could stuff them back into my stomach." Guo Baochan said grinding his teeth.

Yan Huo sneered, "It seems like you don't like to dance with swords and guns."

"Hey hey hey, are you a good sister? Or are you a good sister?" Guo Baochan pushed her.

"You are good sisters, and you're the truth. If you weren't good sisters, I should have said, Oh, Princess Su is so gentle and generous, virtuous." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Oh, goose bumps come out." Guo Baochan rubbed his arms stingingly.

Tang Yi and Tang Luan laughed.

"Two little brats, it's funny to hear your aunt smuggle your mother, right?" Guo Baochan made a fierce look, "Gogun, go to the martial arts training ground to play, don't disturb my chat with your aunt here."

After driving away the two sons, Guo Baochan and Yan Huo didn't say a few words. The maid came in and reported, "Princess, the princess is here."

Guo Baochan and Yan Huo got up and went out to welcome the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess brought Princess Anle and Tang Luan together. After seeing each other, Tang Luan asked respectfully: "Auntie, is Sister Yaya coming?"

Yan Huo smiled and said, "Yaya didn't come, Yaya went to the village to escape the summer heat."

"When Sister Yaya comes back, I will ask my aunt to send someone to tell Luan'er that Luan'er has a gift to give to Sister Yaya." Tang Luan replied seriously.

"Luan'er, you can keep those good things for others." Yan Huo squatted down and politely refused.

"Only for Sister Yaya." Tang Luan said firmly.

"Xiaoxiao, Luan'er is giving Yaya things, not to give them to you. Don't interfere with the matter." The Crown Princess spoke to her son.

"Crown Princess." Yan Huo shouted helplessly.

"It's so sunny, hurry up and go into the house." The princess walked in with a smile.

Seeing the princess come in, the ladies in the hall all stood up to greet him. The princess said politely: "Everyone doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down."

Yan Huo sat down on the chair and saw Guo Baochan's cousin Song Juan. She looked haggard and there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes. She sighed inwardly. Life was not satisfactory, and it was really urging people to grow old.

The guests arrived one after another, and Guo Baochan invited everyone to enjoy the flowers in the garden. Since they used the reason for appreciating flowers, they naturally had to appreciate the flowers. King Su and Guo Baochan were both rough people and did not love these flowers and plants, but Fu Zhixing was responsible for supervising the construction of the royal palace.

The scenery in the palace is quite good, with pavilions and towers scattered in a row. Walking along the pebbled path in the flower garden, bypassing a pink wall, it suddenly became clear in front of me, and I saw a mirror-like pond. There seemed to be a layer of light smoke on the water, making the scenery in the distance hazy, like a fairyland.

"Everyone doesn't have to be restrained, please give in yourself." Guo Baochan smiled.

Everyone dispersed, flocking in groups of three or five, either lingering among the flowers, sitting by the pool fishing, or sitting in the pavilion chatting. Guo Baochan grabbed Yan Huo and said, "Let's go play cards."

"I want to appreciate flowers, don't play cards." Yan Hu's luck in playing cards has not been better in these years. He will lose every bet, which makes her no longer interested in playing cards.

"What kind of elegant person is pretending to be?" Guo Baochan forced Yan Hu to the small flower hall and pressed her to the card table.

Yan Huo had to play cards with them, and he lost from beginning to end, so he never missed the cards.

After the banquet, the guests and hosts all parted happily.

When he returned to Duke Anguo's mansion, Yan Hu asked someone to send two carts of ice to Prince Su's mansion.

Two days later, Yan Hu went to Su Wang Mansion again. This time Guo Baochan held a small banquet, only Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing were invited. Because Bao Rong's family was only a fourth-rank official, in order to avoid Yu Qingqing's embarrassment, Guo Baochan did not invite her to attend the flower viewing banquet.

Yu Qingqing came with her second daughter Bao Mingzhu. She gave birth to a son for Bao Rong's family in the twelfth lunar month last year, named Bao Yongqi. She was not yet one year old and stayed at home.

"Yi'er, this is Sister Mingzhu. You take your sister to play, and you are not allowed to bully her." Guo Baochan reminded.

Tang Yi said in surprise: "You are also called Mingzhu. We recognize a little fat girl in southern Xinjiang, also called Mingzhu."

It is easy for children to have sex. Bao Mingzhu and Tang Yi brothers went out to play together, while Yan Hu and the other two sat in the room with ice cubes, drinking sour plum soup and chatting. Of course, Guo Baochan and Yu Qingqing drank cold drinks, while Yan Hu was drinking room at room temperature.

I deeply doubted whether they had been staying at home for a long time, and had a problem with their brains, and kept quarreling, which made people feel upset.
