He retracted his hand, seeming a little embarrassed and shy: "Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng just doesn't like the taste of lotus seeds, so I recommend it to others."
Chunming narrowed her eyes, haha, she believed his lies.
Ming Lanruo said nothing, but suspicion flashed in her eyes. Before she could speak, Jing He suddenly burst out laughing——
"You lied and said, did you have a crush on my eldest lady and secretly went to the kitchen to find out her preferences?"
Except for the sound of Xiao Xi snoring and drinking soy milk, the room was completely silent for a while.
Chunming: "..."
Ming Lanruo: "..."
Yin Shusheng's elegant and elegant face turned red instantly: "You...you...Miss Jinghe...don't...don't spit on others!"
Jing He looked at him with a smile: "It's rare to see you come out and dress up. Yes, you look good."
Scholar Yin's ears and neck were red now, as if he had been bullied, and the corners of his eyes were watery with anger: "You, you, you..."
Why is everyone talking about this!
Ming Lanruo watched in silence as the hidden scholar looked like a panicked egret that had been plucked, with nowhere to put his long arms and legs, and was so ashamed that he did not dare to look at her.
This sour scholar looks like he's hiding something, does he really like her?
She has been beautiful since she was a child, and after she got hair extensions, she became the number one among the noble ladies in the capital at that time. When she went to the Lantern Festival for the first time, she received many peach blossom lots from young gentlemen.
She can naturally tell what the other person is thinking. This scholar is probably interested in her, and there are some looks that cannot be faked.
However, most men just admire her beautiful appearance, which will fade over time.
Most of the hidden scholars are like this. They don't admit it and just pretend that they don't know.
Ming Lanruo picked up the bird's nest, took a sip, and said calmly: "Jinghe, don't tease Scholar Yin, he is Xiaoxi's teacher."
Jing He blinked narrowly at the hidden scholar: "Okay, I got it!"
Chunming frowned. Although there was still suspicion in his eyes, he still put his hand down from where the soft sword was hidden on his waist.
Scholar Yin looked at Ming Lanruo's calm and composed expression, as if he didn't notice him at all.
His clenched fists relaxed, but somehow an obscure and unspeakable feeling filled his heart.
He thought expressionlessly that if she changed her identity, she wouldn't give someone like him a second look.
Scholar Yin finished his meal in silence, then raised his eyes and looked at Ming Lanruo: "Look at the little lady dressed like this, but are you going out?"
Ming Lanruo smiled and said: "Today, the first day of March, the Minister of Dali Temple and the lady who is the censor of Zuodu of the Chaoyuan invited me and Xiaoxi to go to Kaichun Lake."
Normally according to seasonal festivals, the dragon will raise its head on February 2nd, and spring plowing can begin.
But this year, the weather is very different. It is raining and snowing on the first day of March. It seems that spring plowing will not be successful, and there will be a famine if the food is planted late.
Therefore, the Qin Tian Jian observed the celestial phenomena and selected the first day of March to hold the "Spring Lake" ceremony to pray for spring and send off winter.
The location was chosen at Mingchun Lake, the largest lake in Beijing that is not frozen.
The hidden scholar's eyes flashed, knowing that the Zhou family was eyeing her, yet she still accepted the invitation to travel.
If Minglan was not a person who took the risk on a whim, she must have had her own purpose in taking the risk.
After the meal, Ming Lanruo got into the carriage with only Jing He and Xiao Xi. Chen Ning got into the driver's seat and drove away from Prince Mou's Mansion with a whip.
Not long after, they arrived at Mingchun Lake, which was crowded with people.
It's not snowing today. On the high colorful altar by the Mingchun Lake, Qin Tian Jian's spring prayer ceremony has come to an end.
The people all knelt devoutly under the altar, holding incense and praying to God for the end of winter and the coming of spring, and the spring god would come to the world. It was very lively.
In the bright spring, there are more than twenty spring-welcoming boats floating by the lake, and they are all noble ladies from various high-ranking families in the capital.
According to tradition, after the Spring Prayer Ceremony, the ladies on the Spring Welcome Boat will sit on the boat and go to the center of the lake to release small fish and birds.
The noble girls are in their youth, and they also represent the blooming spring.
Ming Lanruo got off the carriage and looked at the colorfully dressed and carefree girls on the boat, feeling a little dazed.
A long time ago, she and Ming Yueying were also one of them. They were looking forward to their spring and their lover, and they were equally carefree...
"Mom, hurry up, Aunt Xu, Aunt Mo, they are waiting for me!" Xiao Xier's soft voice sounded.
Ming Lanruo was startled and woke up, looking down at the little milk bag holding her.
She hugged him with a smile: "Let's go, mother will take you to your Aunt Xu and play with them."
Now, she has a son and everything is ready, and she will never miss the past.
Xu Xiuyi, the eldest daughter of the minister of Dali Temple, and Mo Feiyan, the second daughter of Zuodu Yushi, are the girls that Xiaoxi charmed with her "cute" ultimate move in Tangquan Mountain.
Now they all call themselves Xiao Xi's aunt, and the news that Zhou Changle pushed Xiao Xi into the water has become known throughout the city.
Zhou Changle's reputation has been ruined. How can he still have the limelight of the noble female leader?
Ming Lanruo carried Xiao Xi and was led down to the lake by the servants of the Xu family who had been waiting early.
"Princess, be careful when you get on the boat. Young Master Xiao Xi should be held by a little person." Chen Ning took Xiao Xi from Ming Lanruo's arms.
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "I heard from Grandma Wang that before the decline of your family, you opened a martial arts school in the coastal provinces. Your boxing, kicking and water skills are very good. No matter what happens, you must hug Xiaoxi and follow her closely.
I."
Chen Ning was shocked, but he didn't ask any questions and just whispered: "Yes."
Chen Ning hugged Xiao Xi and took a few big steps before boarding the ship steadily.
Ming Lanruo held up her skirt and was about to step onto the wooden plank of the ladder, but she didn't expect the lake water to suddenly ripple and the boat's hull to bump.
Ming Lanruo's slender figure swayed, staggering and almost falling off the board. Jing He was startled and raised his hand to pull her.
But unexpectedly, another hand suddenly reached out and directly grasped her catkin, stabilizing her body.
Ming Lanruo turned her face instinctively, and the tip of her nose touched the skirt of the man's fine white cotton robe, and the scent of book ink invaded her breath.
She was stunned, raised her eyes, and saw the elegant and handsome face of the hidden scholar.
"Little lady, be careful." His slender eyes flashed with a dark and gentle light, and he held her slender waist.
The two stood very close to each other, almost touching each other.
Ming Lan was in a daze for a moment, but for some reason, the eyes of the young man with single eyelids reminded her of another pair of deep, gloomy phoenix eyes with undercut corners.
My heart suddenly palpitated and I skipped a beat.
She immediately covered her chest, took a step back, and frowned coldly: "Scholar Yin, why are you here, are you following me?"
Yin Shusheng squeezed her hand, with a look of innocence and shyness on his pale and gentle face: "Young man just came to see Kaichun Lake. Can you take me on the boat to broaden my horizons?"
Ming Lanruo: "……."
She didn't know why, but she felt that the scholar was a bit bitchy, like those eunuchs in the palace who talked in roundabout ways.
No, it should be the scheming concubines in the harem.
