Chapter 55 The Bamboo Picker
The man was about twenty years old. He was taller than King Yong. He was dressed in brocade clothes and his face was calm and intimidating. He did not use a horse stool and stepped on the back of a guard to get out of the carriage. King Yong took him with him.
Ye Ningyu came to the man. As the host, King Yong was very polite. He bowed to the man and said with a smile, "Third Prince."
The third prince of Liang Kingdom nodded slightly, and when his eyes fell on Ye Ningyu, his eyebrows moved, and there seemed to be some kind of brilliance in his eyes. "This is..." Ye Ningyu also nodded slightly, and inadvertently looked at this person, which was the same as in the previous life.
The memories basically overlapped. King Yong stepped forward and blocked the eyes of the third prince of Liang Kingdom, "She is Miss Ye, the eldest daughter of the Protector's Palace, and also my unmarried princess."
The eyes of the third prince of Liang Kingdom dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was obvious disappointment in his tone. "Oh...it turns out to be the future Princess Yong."
Immediately, he looked around and his eyes fell on Qing Lian who was behind Ye Ningyu. Qing Lian lowered her head, but the third prince still saw her dark and thin face and suddenly felt bored. King Yong pointed to the girl parked by the lake.
A painting boat said, "The third prince invites you."
The third prince of Liang Kingdom didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the painting boat, followed by King Yong and Ye Ningyu. The attendant girls also held the things in their hands and got on the painting boat. This painting boat has two floors and is made of mahogany.
There are wall railings around the first floor, and the host and guest seats and everything are ready, which can accommodate about a hundred people. The second floor is an open and unobstructed space with a light yellow canopy on the top and single eaves at the four corners. Three people sit in the painting boat.
, they saw the entourage of the third prince starting to arrange the things they brought, including tea sets, tableware, tables and chairs, various snacks, and even incense burners that were used by the third prince of Liang Kingdom. This was not the first day that King Yong received this third prince.
The prince was used to his behavior, so he let them play around. The three princes of Liang Kingdom sat down in front of the host and guests, and their respective maids and attendants also boarded the boat. The boat was driven by ten well-trained boatmen, who were arranged in rows on the boat.
At the location, a huge ship slowly sailed away from the shore. While tasting the wine and smelling the aroma, a musician sat in the middle of the seat. He gently plucked the strings, and the sound of the guqin was heard, intertwined with the faint sound of running water, and everyone suddenly felt sleepy.
There was a moment of coolness and calmness. However, the expression of the third prince of Liang Kingdom did not fluctuate much. It seemed that everything in front of him was not very attractive to him. After the song was played, he lazily leaned on the soft cushion he carried with him and squinted.
He looked at King Yong. "Is this the unforgettable trip that His Highness King Yong mentioned?"
At this time, the painting boat had reached the middle of the water. King Yong smiled faintly and looked not far away. Suddenly, a faint singing sound came. The sound gradually became clearer from far to near. "If someone comes to the mountain, he will be led by Xili Xi.
Nvluo. She can look at you and smile at the same time. She is so graceful and graceful..." The voice sounded like that of a woman. Her singing voice harmonized with the sound of the water, and the river flowed meanderingly, which was pleasing to the eye. The third prince's eyebrows narrowed even more, and he subconsciously moved forward in front of his body.
Qing, wanting to follow the sound to find something. Ye Ningyu glanced at the third prince's expression calmly, and then looked not far away. Above the lake, among the faint smoke, the first thing that caught his eye was
A green bamboo with a root about three feet long and as thick as an arm. The green bamboo floated on the water and slowly penetrated the smoke. Immediately, everyone saw the woman on the green bamboo. She was dressed in green, with a graceful figure and a veil on her face.
Her black silk stockings were blown up by the wind, and she stepped firmly on the green bamboo. The woman held a slightly thinner bamboo in her hand, forming a 'ten' with the bamboo under her feet. The singing was getting closer and closer, and the people were getting closer and closer.
The closer she got, the melodious sighs in the song could be heard clearly. She was seen singing and dancing on a single bamboo. With her feet a little closer, the bamboo under her feet slowly rotated with her rotating body, and the calm water suddenly became flooded.
There were circular ripples. The third prince no longer squinted his eyes. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the beauty singing while walking on the bamboo. Suddenly he felt that every hair on his body stood on end, and the two meridians of Ren and Du were unblocked.
"This...this...this..." The third prince was a little incoherent. Ye Ningyu nodded slightly towards him, "This is the bamboo-picking girl from the Yu Kingdom. You can often see her in the Bixin Lake area. Today is a fate.
If the Third Prince doesn't mind, we'll invite her on board to talk to her."
Why did the Third Prince dislike him? He was so stunned that he didn't care to speak at this moment. He only waved his hand, which meant to invite people up quickly! Ye Ningyu ordered to the people on the bow of the boat, "Please
People get on board.”
The bamboo-picking girl inserted one end of the horizontal bamboo pole into the water, and the green bamboo under her feet stopped in front of the painting boat. She did not get on the boat immediately, but said leisurely, "May I ask where the guests come from?"
A smile appeared on Ye Ningyu's lips, and she looked at the third prince. The third prince seemed to sense Ye Ningyu's intention, and stood up in a hurry and walked towards the bow of the ship. "My king..." Before he could finish saying the word "王",
He changed his topic again. "I came from Liang State. I heard that Yu State has beautiful mountains and clear waters, so I came here to appreciate it."
The woman seemed to be very satisfied with the answer. She threw away the bamboo pole in her hand and tapped her toes again. The green bamboo under her feet instantly stood up from the water. Just now, the green bamboo floated on the water, but no one could see it clearly.
, only then did I see several bamboo tubes hanging on the green bamboo. The woman flew up and took down a bamboo tube in mid-air. Then her light body jumped and came towards the painting boat. In the blink of an eye, she was steady
She landed in front of the third prince. She took off her veil, revealing her delicate and beautiful facial features, with a smile on her lips. "When enemies come, there are long swords. When guests come, there is good wine. The little girl Ruoyue toasted with the bamboo wine she brewed.
Distinguished guests from afar!"
The woman's voice was clear but not pretentious, and her gestures carried a bit of the heroic spirit of a Jianghu person. The third prince couldn't take his eyes away. He couldn't believe that there was such a wonderful person in the Yu Kingdom! She was different from the coquettish ones in the boudoir courtyard.
The daughter of a wealthy family is not a delicate flower in a red mansion or a green pavilion. She is like a green bamboo with white flowers. She rises from the worldly world and reaches straight into the sky, making men all over the world look up to her. The third prince almost didn’t think about it at all.
He had an idea, he must get this woman! The third prince sat down, Ruoyue first poured a glass of wine for him, and then poured a glass each for King Yong and Ye Ningyu. There was no favoritism in etiquette, and no one looked at anyone more.
One glance. After thirty years of drinking, Ruoyue took the bamboo tube and drank it all in one gulp. Ye Ningyu didn't drink, so King Yong silently took her cup. "You are injured, I will drink for you."
The third prince was very interested. He looked at Ruoyue's gestures and liked it more and more. He knew in his heart that he had not just met this girl by chance today, otherwise King Yong would not have gone to such trouble to let him come to the lake. Regardless of whether he had deliberately arranged it
, or he is really destined to this girl, he even accepts this girl! "I think the girl should not be called Ruoyue, but 'Shengyue'."
Ye Ningyu and King Yong looked at each other, both of them calm. Thirty years later, Ruoyue's tubes of bamboo wine were gone. The third prince felt a little dazed, lying on the soft couch and gradually fell asleep. I don't know what happened.
