61. Chapter 61 A branch of red apricot came out of the wall
The boy served the tea to Xia Chuyi and then left. Qin Yaoxuan put down the tea cup in his hand, with a slight smile on his lips, and slowly said: "Recently, the Jincui Lake on the outskirts of the city has been filled with water.
Lotus fragrance, I wonder if Miss Xia can appreciate it, so I can accompany you on a tour."
Xia Chuyi had just picked up the hot tea on the table and was about to take a few sips. She was shocked when she heard Qin Yaoxuan's words. She hurriedly tried to take a sip of tea to calm her breathing, but as soon as the tea entered her throat, she immediately spat it out.
came out.
"Ah, it's so hot! It's so hot!"
Sticking out her tongue and hurriedly fanning her hands, she was left in a state of embarrassment with just one word.
Qin Yaoxuan quickly walked up to her in two steps, patted her back, and said with concern: "Are you okay?"
The boy next to her had a keen eye and quickly offered her a glass of ice water. She quickly took it and took a big gulp before she slowly recovered.
Seeing her at a loss, Fifteen shook his head and lamented in his heart - why is this woman so stupid?
A trace of clarity flashed through Xia Chuyi's lowered eyes, but when she looked up at Qin Yaoxuan, she couldn't even speak clearly: "You want me to...accompany the third young master to enjoy the lotus?"
Qin Yaoxuan suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw her appearance: "What's wrong? You're not happy?"
"No," Xia Chu waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just a little unexpected."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and his delicate face turned slightly red.
Secretly, his thoughts are as clear as a mirror. He and Qin Yaoxuan are no match for each other. He will invite him to enjoy the lotus, either because he has nothing to do, or he has some agenda.
With my body and appearance, I will avoid being noticed in the first place.
When ruling out this possibility, Xia Chuyi thought to herself, why do I feel so sad?
And since I don’t have a good family background, I don’t have much ability. I don’t have the qualifications to carry Qin Sanshao’s sedan chair, and the recruitment of talents is definitely not feasible.
After thinking about it, there is only one possibility - it was for the sake of Takiyue's disaster.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Qin Yaoxuan say: "It is indeed a bit rude for me to come to visit like this. But yesterday, my eldest brother ordered me to entertain the girl well, so Miss Xia will reward me."
Xia Chuyi hesitated, blushed and nodded: "That little girl is more respectful than obeying orders."
Oh, little lady...
Next to her, Fifteen was stealing snacks with her paws. Listening to Xia Chuyi's self-promotion, she was afraid that her two front teeth had not fallen out due to soreness.
When Qin Yaoxuan saw that Xia Chuyi agreed, the elegant smile on his lips widened a little, and he waved gently to the people behind him, who immediately followed the order and went out.
"Miss Xia please."
The two-story boat is exquisite and luxurious.
The hollowed-out flowers, birds, insects and fish are lifelike, the tulle hanging on the window lattice and door rails flutters, and the door curtains made of agate and glass beads flutter and rattle in the wind.
Xia Chuyi and Qin Yaoxuan were sitting on the bow of the boat, toasting to each other, quite like scholars.
Sometimes when he gets excited about talking, he inevitably composes a few lines of poetry. Qin Yaoxuan is not only unrivaled in his spiritual talent, he is also outstanding in poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music.
After talking for a while, he did not forget to ask Xia Chu tactfully: "I wonder what Miss Xia has to say?"
On the first day of Xia Chuyi, he was a little intoxicated by the fine wine in the cup. He thought that Senior Brother Lu was indeed right. If he wanted to drink good wine, he had to find Third Young Master Qin.
As a result, Qin Yaoxuan suddenly asked him this question. He couldn't help but laugh dryly and replied: "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"Miss Xia is so humble." Qin Yaoxuan lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass from the table and took a sip. Then he looked up at the fragrance of lotus in the lake and chanted, "The fragrance of thousands of lotus is like a dream..."
"A branch of red apricot comes out of the wall."
He answered it almost smoothly. When Xia Chuyi realized what he was talking about, he secretly looked up at Qin Yaoxuan in embarrassment and saw him looking at her in surprise.
After a while, he smiled and said: "It seems that Miss Xia is also a person who understands romance. It's just that the apricot blossoms have faded. I don't know if there will be a chance to invite Miss Xia out again next spring."
Xia Chu laughed twice and agreed casually: "There must be a chance."
As he was talking, the sound of water breaking suddenly came from the calm lake. He looked up and saw that at some point, a painted boat appeared in front of him. The workmanship of that boat was similar to this one, which showed that the owner was also extremely noble.
people.
"San Shao, your friend?"
Xia Chuyi raised his head slightly and asked.
It is extremely pleasant to enjoy the lotuses on the lake and the boat leisurely, but no one would be able to sail the boat along the canal.
However, looking at the ship approaching them quickly, it actually seemed to be menacing.
Qin Yaoxuan raised his head and looked at the boat approaching from the opposite side, frowning slightly: "A member of the royal family."
They were about to ask the helmsman to turn their ship away, but it was obviously too late.
There was only a huge collision sound, and the painting boat on the opposite side crashed straight into their hull.
Before Xia Chuyi could figure out what was going on, his body began to shake violently with the boat. When it stopped, before he could stand still, he felt a shadow in green clothes flash past his eyes.
"Pa—" a crisp sound sounded. Xia Chu stood still and felt a burning pain on his face before he realized what he was doing.
Was she - beaten?
He opened his eyes and took a closer look. The shadow in green that just passed by was clearly a pretty girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a dress with brocade sleeves and a jingle. She was obviously the child of a prominent family.
The Third Young Master had just said that the people in the boat were members of the royal family, so it was not difficult to guess the identity of the woman in front of him.
She could only hold back her resentment in her heart and not fight for the moment.
There are many ways to secretly take revenge on others, so don’t rush it.
As a result, before she opened her mouth, the woman in green asked Qin Yaoxuan: "Qin Yaoxuan, who is she?"
She reached out and pointed at Xia Chuyi. She had a look of savage anger on her face, as if she hated the slap she just received.
Qin Yaoxuan glanced at Xia Chuyi apologetically, and then coaxed the woman in front of him: "Princess Luzhen, stop making trouble, she is just a friend."
"A friend?" Xuanyuan Luzhen obviously didn't believe it, and the eyes that stared at Xia Chuyi seemed to be bursting with fire, "Qin Yaoxuan, you are already in Yancheng and you don't go into the palace. You don't know that my Third Emperor Sister is waiting for you.
The flowers have withered after waiting. How about you, you still have the leisure and elegance to enjoy the flowers here with your so-called friends? As a lonely man and a widow, you are not afraid of others gossiping. I, the princess, am afraid for my third sister.
!”
As he spoke, he pushed Qin Yaoxuan away directly, and he did not dare to fight back. He saw Xuanyuan Luzhen coming to Xia Chuyi aggressively, raised his hand and slapped him again: "Bitch!"
Everything must be done at the same time. Xia Chuyi was already thinking about how to get out of the way so as to use his strength to get this unruly princess into the water. Then he heard an elegant and noble voice leisurely coming from the boat next door——
