Chapter 173: Chapter 156, Chicken Soup_1

The Royal Palace was built at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, with the Dayuan River flowing by. Nestled between mountain and water, the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

Pavilions, water pavilions, artificial mountains, and towers could be seen everywhere.

What surprised Daohua the most was that in the eastern part of the palace, there was a pond that resembled a swimming pool.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua staring at the pond, explained, "This is where we bathe in the summer to cool off. The water in the pool is drawn from the springs at the top of the mountain; it's clear, cool, and very refreshing. Soaking in it is a great way to beat the heat."

"You even use spring water?" Daohua exclaimed with a face full of amazement. These ancient elite sure knew how to live in luxury.

She hadn't even found a place to drink spring water, while here, they used it for baths.

The palace was too large; Daohua felt half-hearted about continuing to explore after only seeing half of it.
