"Empress," Gu Xing was a little confused. "I don't know the depth of this lotus pond. No one has been to the lotus pond in these years, nor do I know if there are any dangerous things inside. I really shouldn't go into the water rashly."

Wei Xi stood by the lotus pond and looked at the calm water surface. He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xing, explaining to him, "The lotus pond is generally not too deep. If it is too deep, how high will the lotus leaves grow to protrude out of the water? Moreover, the silt in the lotus pond has not been cleaned for many years. I don't know how thick the layer has been buried. I don't think it's too deep. However, there should be things like water snakes and leeches in it. It may not be easy to jump down and sink into the mud. That's it," Wei Xi said, looking around, "Are you here in Qisha?"

An echo came from the air, "At."

"You go to Taoyuan Town and borrow a boat that cannot be overturned. Don't have to be too big, go and go back quickly."

"yes."

Gu Xing: "······" He probably couldn't persuade the Queen.

"Qisha went to Taoyuan Town to borrow a boat. I'm afraid it's going to be late in the evening. Today I can't enter the lotus pond." Wei Xi sighed, "But we can't come in vain. Let's go around and go back."

As he said that, he raised his foot and found a direction casually.

Xiaoqi hurriedly followed, and Gu Xing sighed while he was still there, and quickly followed.

The manor is deep and dense, blocking the sunlight that is too hot on the head. In addition, it is close to the lotus pond, which is very cool.

The more Wei Xi looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but start building the layout after the school was built in the future.

Until Gu Xing couldn't help but remind him, "Empress, it's almost noon. Are we going to return to the palace?"

Wei Xi paused and looked at the road that had not been completed before, "Okay, go back to the palace."

Anyway, I can come here tomorrow.

In the afternoon in the Imperial Study Room, Wei Xi drew out the layout formed in his mind that part of the manor he had walked by in the morning.

Zong Xu glanced at him accidentally, "Is this?"

"This is the manor during the day," Wei Xi asked Wuhuan to use the paint to color her drawings. "I originally wanted to go to the lotus pond to take a look in the morning, but unfortunately there was no useful boat, so I asked Qisha to borrow it from Taoyuan Town, but he wouldn't be able to come back for a while. I was taking Xiaoqi and Gu Xing around the manor."

Zong Xu listened quietly, "Xi Xi will pass tomorrow?"

"Well, the boat will arrive almost in the evening."

Zong Xu nodded, "I'll take a break tomorrow, I'll accompany you."

Wei Xi was adjusting the paint. He was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The borrowed ship was brought back in the middle of the afternoon, and Mo Jiu was also with him.

Qi Sha pulled the ship directly to the lotus pond in the manor, waiting for Mo Jiu to reinstall the ship that had been dismantled into several parts, and then returned to the palace to report his life.

The next morning, Zong Xu and Wei Xi finished their breakfast and left the palace with casual clothes. When they arrived at the lotus pond in the manor, they saw Mo Jiu standing next to the boat waiting.

Seeing Wei Xi again seeing Zong Xu walking with her, he hurriedly bowed and said, "The Caomin greeted the emperor and the empress."

Wei Xi walked to the edge of the ship and circled around, "Can you disassemble it and then assemble it?"

Mo Jiu stood up and nodded, "It was made by me and a junior brother. It is most suitable for being in shallow water and will never capsize."

Wei Xi gave him a gaze of praise, "Go into the water."

Mo Jiu stepped forward and used the fan blade at the bottom of the ship to push the boat into the water by himself. Luo Sheng and Gu Xing wanted to help aside, but they didn't get in.

"How many people can be seated on the boat?"

“Maximum six people.”

Wei Xi and Zong Xu went up, and Mo Jiu, who knew the best of this ship, also came up, Xiao Qi, Luo Sheng, and Gu Xing, who happened to sit the boat full of the boat.

Gu Xing volunteered to row the boat, and then searched all over the boat but couldn't find the oars. He turned around and saw that Mo Jiu had reached the stern position. He was wearing a rocker and a pedal under his feet.

"Where to drive?"

"Look straight ahead first."

After hearing this, Mo Jiu's hand holding the rocker did not move, and only stepped on the pedal under the foot board.

In Gu Xing's stunned eyes, the ship moved forward.

Gu Xing: "······"

"Stop for a while. Let me see how deep the water is and how deep the silt is."

After hearing this, Xiaoqi quickly took out the box on his back and took out a tube that was polished smoothly with his arms from it.

This time, even Zong Xu had never seen it, "What is this?"

"Your Majesty, you'll know." Wei Xi said as he pulled out a thin tube from the tube, and then pulled out a thicker one, and then pulled out a thicker one.

Soon, such a tube that was only the thickness of an arm changed from thick to thin to long.

Zong Xu: "······"

Others on board: "······"

Wei Xi inserted the thin end into the water, felt the barrier of the mud and continued to press down until he could no longer press it. Then he looked at the scale engraved on the pipe exposed on the water surface.

"It's less than one zhang, eight feet and three inches."

Xiaoqi was so busy that he took out the paper and a pen with a strange shape from the box and wrote it down.

Wei Xi then measured the depth of the water, "Four feet per inch, the silt is indeed a bit thick."

The ship then went to several places. Wei Xi measured the water depth and the depth of the silt as before, and almost achieved the overall water depth and silt depth of the lotus pond.

She took the data recorded by Xiaoqi, lowered her head and wrote and painted for a while. Everyone looked at her movements silently. When she raised her head, Zong Xu put down the tube handed over by Wei Xi and looked on the piece of paper, "What is this written?"

Except for the ones Xiaoqi just remembered, I can't understand a single word.

"With the depth of water and silt depth, combined with the ten acres of this lotus pond, we can calculate how much water should be discharged, how much silt should be transported out, and how much soil is needed to fill it up."

Zong Xu: "······"

Others: "······"

Zong Xu couldn't help but reach out and tapped Wei Xi's eyebrows, "Xixi, do you still remember the purpose of your coming?"

Wei Xi: "······" She was completely subconsciously reacting, and almost forgot that she was going to find out the weirdness of the night fog in the lotus pond.

She was indeed affected more or less.

"Look here and look here."

Everyone who was attracted by Wei Xi's actions just now also looked for it.

After walking around the lotus pond, Luo Sheng saw Wei Xi ask Xiao Qi to take a glass jar of water first, then pick lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and even some aquatic plants were not spared. He picked some of them back, and dug up mud. After a while, he put a lot of them on the boat. He couldn't help but speak: "Empress, what are you doing for picking these things?"

Wei Xi turned his head to look at him, "The strangeness in the fog, water, plants in the water, and even mud may be the reasons. I want to go back and try it separately."

After hearing this, Luo Sheng was still a little disbelief, "How to try this?"

"Of course I have a way."

Luo Sheng: "······" He shouldn't have asked, and he became even more curious after asking.

Wei Xi then looked at Zong Xu, "Your Majesty, I have to go to Taoyuan to stay for two days."

Zong Xu pointed to the piles that were made out of the water, "Try them?"

Wei Xi nodded, "The conditions in the palace are not enough, I have to go to the Geju Academy. Zhou Yuan has enough things."

When I returned to the shore, I had already passed the lunch time. There were many mature lotus pods in the lotus pond, but no one dared to eat them before I understood the strangeness of the lotus pond.

"Let's stay here first, and you may need to use it in the future."

Mo Jiu nodded.

Mo Jiu drove all the things on the boat out and put them in the carriage, and first returned to Taoyuan Town with a carriage.

Wei Xi and Zong Xu got on another carriage and walked a while after going out of the manor. Only then did there be a lot of voices outside.

A stack of hawking sounds came from outside the car window, "Selling buns, fragrant and soft big meat buns, two cents a day."

Wei Xi listened in the carriage and swallowed silently, and asked Zong Xu who was sitting opposite him, "Your Majesty, are you hungry?"

Zong Xu saw Wei Xi's saliva swallowing in his eyes, curled his lips, "A little."

Wei Xi immediately reached out and patted the car door, "Xiao Qi, go buy some buns and come back."

Xiaoqi replied, and after a while, he knocked on the door of the carriage and handed over a few big meat buns wrapped in oil paper, "Empress, your majesty, be careful of being hot."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Xi had already touched the bun and then suddenly retracted her hand and pinched her earlobe.

Xiaoqi silently pushed up the door of the private room.

Zong Xu took the oil paper bag from Wei Xi, and the stall was colder. Then he handed it in front of Wei Xi, "Try it."

Wei Xi reached out and touched it. Seeing that it was indeed not hot, he picked it up and was about to bite it and listened to Zong Xu's reminder, "Be careful that the meat filling inside is still hot."

She immediately changed her mouth to small ones.

Wei Xi was full after eating five buns, and Zong Xu made up the remaining three and a half.

The carriage stopped at the intersection and the buns were just finished.

Zong Xu paused his hands, "I'm going down."

Wei Xi reached out to hug him and comforted him: "I will be back in about two days. If it is fast, I will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Zong Xu let out a light whisper, tightened his arms a little, and after a while, he let go of the person in his arms, got up and got out of the carriage.

Xiaoqi drove the carriage to the city gate. Luo Sheng led two horses and followed Zong Xu, who was watching the carriage leave, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you will look like you have been abandoned and you are driven out of the carriage. I am unwilling to give up hope that the people in the carriage will turn back and win back your little one...."

The words behind were stuck in the throat.

Zong Xu withdrew his cold look, reached out and pulled the reins, then turned over the horse and pulled the reins of another horse and threw them into Gu Xing's hand. He looked at Luo Sheng with a condescending look, "Is there any leisure to read the storybook? Run back to the palace!"

Gu Xing also got on the horse and bowed to Rasho in no help, "Guard Luo, the old slave will take the lead."
