As dusk approaches, there are more and more cruise ships on the canal. In addition to the flower boats parked not far from both banks, night cruise ships also appear one after another.
When the weather is nice, literati or ladies will sit on the deck, reciting poems, admiring the lights, enjoying the scenery and listening to music.
Rong Che calculated the time. He had already had lunch on the Liushi River and entered the canal at dusk.
Because Yan Qing agreed to let him teach her to ride a horse, so that he could see her a few more times. When he was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly heard a delicate female voice: "Brother Rong Che!"
He was stunned and frowned slightly.
Brother Rong Che? This title has only been called by one person since childhood...but it shouldn't appear on this canal!
Yan Qingzheng was also shocked, this title was so intimate! She quickly glanced at Rong Che, only to see that his eyes were blank for a moment, then he blinked and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Then there was a hint of surprise.
On the right side of the ship, a small boat was slowly approaching. A young woman in purple was wearing a bright smile and waving a silk handkerchief to Rong Che on the deck!
Because the boat was too low, Rong Che even bent down and leaned on the edge of the boat to look at the woman carefully.
Yan Qingzheng said: "You know..."
"Little Ye Zi?!" Rong Che suddenly shouted, with a hint of excitement in his voice!
The woman on the boat nodded vigorously and even jumped and cheered: "Brother Rong Che, it's me! I'm back!"
"Little Ye Zi!" As if he had just confirmed the other party, Rong Che showed a rare smile: "When did you come back?"
"I..." The woman raised her head and found that this was too awkward, so she said: "Brother Rong Che, it's inconvenient to talk like this. Please wait until I come up to talk to you!"
Rong Che immediately turned around and ordered: "Put down the ladder!"
Rong Che walked over and stretched out his hand to hold the woman's arm when she was about to get on the boat and pull her up.
The Fifth Miss and the Sixth Miss looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. The Fifth Miss walked over and asked Yan Qingzheng: "Who is this woman? I just saw her changing from an official ship to a small boat. I didn't expect it to be directed at Yan Qingzheng."
We are here."
Yan Qingzheng shook his head: "Of course I don't know you, Fifth Sister, I left the capital when I was six years old!"
"That's right." Miss Fifth also thought about it.
Rong Che and the woman in purple were reminiscing about the past.
"I didn't expect that Prince Xuan would have a familiar woman, and he..." Miss Fifth glanced at the expressionless Yan Qingzheng and swallowed the rest of her words.
Miss Six also looked at Yan Qingzheng with some worry. In other words, they originally thought that Yan Qingzheng and Prince Xuan were quite a match when they stood together. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and beautiful.
However, I looked at the woman who had just boarded the ship. She was wearing the same purple dress as Prince Xuan. She was about the same height as Yan Qingzheng. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a sweet appearance and a light body. When she raised her head and talked to Prince Xuan,
His eyes were full of adoration and tenderness.
As a man, you can't resist such a cute girl.
Look, Prince Xuan is known as the "Ghost General". In addition to his unpredictable military tactics and desperate fighting style, he also has this iceberg cold face.
Even in front of Yan Qing, it was the same, but now he was facing the girl with a gentle face.
Even onlookers can see it.
Miss Six came over worriedly and looked at Yan Qingzheng with Miss Fifth.
Miss Fifth finally asked: "How...do you feel?"
Yan Qingzheng shrugged: "It's a bit surprising..."
The two people wore clothes of the same color, with soft expressions, and looked both eye-catching and well-matched.
Yan Qingzheng was telling the truth. It seemed that she had never thought that someone liked Rong Che... With a personality like his, how could he smile so tenderly to other girls?
While he was thinking about it, Rong Che had already led the girl in purple over.
"Let me introduce you," he looked at Yan Qingzheng and said, "This is Lord Rouye, the daughter of Prince Ji."
Then he said to Princess Rouye: "These are the granddaughters of Mrs. Yan, Miss Fifth, Miss Six and Miss Seven."
He pointed at the three of them respectively.
Princess Rouye greeted the three sisters with a smile. When she came to Yan Qingzheng, she raised her brows imperceptibly.
"This is the seventh sister of the Yan family!" She glanced at Rong Che meaningfully, and found that his eyes seemed to be glued to the girl. Her breathing was stagnant, and she turned to smile: "Sure enough, Tianxiang Kingdom
As for the color, even though I am still young, I can’t take my eyes away from it.”
But Qingzheng, like her two elder sisters, said: "I have met the princess!"
Princess Rouye was very polite and returned a half salute, saying: "You're welcome."
Then she turned around and said to Rong Che: "Brother Rong Che, I saw your boat just after I returned to Beijing, so I came here. I'm very tired now. Can you take me back?"
Rong Che was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Do you want to enter the palace?"
"No..." Princess Rouye pursed her lips and shook her head: "The palace is not my home! Brother Rong Che, can I live in your house?"
Rong Che opened his mouth and thought to himself, it seems that Prince Xuan's Mansion is not your home either...
However, thinking of the friendship they had had since childhood, he still nodded stiffly: "Okay."
Princess Rouye clapped her hands happily after hearing this, and said softly: "Thank you, brother Rong Che, I know you love me the most!"
Rong Che didn't react, but the fifth young lady couldn't stand it anymore and said to Princess Rouye: "Princess Rouye is really lucky. Not only will you have a brother who loves you, but you will also have a sister-in-law who will love you in the future! My seventh sister is
Where is Prince Xuan’s future princess, do you want to say hello to her first?”
Princess Rouye's face changed, and she quickly looked at Rong Che, but he didn't have any objection, and she felt pleased... Although he still looked the same, she was too familiar with him, and she didn't let him go.
A subtle expression, and this expression made her feel a little cold.
Miss Six gently tugged on Miss Fifth's sleeves and whispered: "Aren't they about to break off the engagement... If you say so..."
"Anyway, the engagement hasn't been broken off yet! If the engagement is not broken off for one day, Prince Xuan will be the one who is engaged!" The fifth lady has just dealt with the concubine at home. She is a bit sensitive at this time, so she is not interested in anyone who covets a married woman.
Women don't have any good impressions.
"Ugh..." Princess Rouye suddenly retched and ran to the side of the boat, as if she was about to vomit.
"What's wrong with you?" Rong Che asked quickly.
"Isn't this...a little seasick? I was so happy to see you just now, but now I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable..." Princess Rouye covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, frowned and looked at Rong Che weakly, and said: "
Brother Rong Che, I feel very uncomfortable, can you send me back first?"
Rong Che was a little reluctant and finally asked Yan Qingzheng out...
"Ugh..." Princess Rouye turned around again, retched and looked at Rong Che again.
"Okay, Butler Liu..." He originally wanted Butler Liu to send Princess Rouye back, but she held his arm and refused to let go, looking at him with pleading eyes, so he changed his mind, "
Butler Liu, escort Miss Yan home for me."
Butler Liu jumped out from a corner and responded quickly.
"No need! We also want to see the night view of the canal, you go ahead." Yan Qingzheng said with a smile.
"But..." He was worried about their safety.
"Do you think Butler Liu is better than me?" Yan Qing asked, tilting her head.
Rong Che's eyes darkened and he said, "I'll invite you to play again in a few days."
Yan Qingzheng smiled and said nothing, waving goodbye to him.
Rong Che's heart sank. He took a deep look at Yan Qingzheng and clenched his fists involuntarily. Princess Rouye, who was holding his arm, felt that his muscles suddenly stiffened and gave him a worried look.
"Pay attention to safety." Rong Che said this, then lowered his eyes and said goodbye to the three girls. Finally, he and Princess Rouye got on the boat and went directly ashore back to the palace.
Watching the two people leaving by boat, Fifth Young Lady frowned slightly, walked to Yan Qingzheng's side and said, "Seventh Younger Sister, why don't we go back too."
Yan Qingzheng hurriedly asked: "Why, is fifth sister feeling uncomfortable?"
"Well, that's not the case," Miss Fifth was moved. Yan Qingzheng's first thought was that she was not feeling well, "I'm just afraid that you won't be interested."
Yan Qing was blinking his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why am I not interested?"
"Well……"
"Fifth sister, you are thinking too much," Yan Qingzheng suddenly understood Fifth Miss's concerns and said with a smile: "The original engagement was a mistake, not to mention that the engagement was about to be broken off. Even if he had no such plan, his prince
It is impossible for her to have only one princess at this time..."
She turned her head and smiled to face the breeze blowing from the river. The sky had completely darkened. The lantern cruise boats on both sides of the river had already decorated the night in various ways. The sound of silk and bamboo and the singing songs like warblers came far and near.
Occasionally, there were noisy sounds from ships, and everything was so random.
"You see, such a lively scene and this meaningless enjoyment are the dreams of many people in the mortal world...I am afraid that I will never see it again in the future, so I will observe it carefully tonight..."
The appearance of the girl in purple did surprise her, and the closeness between this woman named Princess Rouye and Rong Che really surprised her, but she didn't have any thoughts about her because she didn't have any thoughts about Rong Che either.
For her, Rong Che is a friend with a special relationship who is worth dating.
Jealousy and competition for favor, such childish behavior will never appear in Yan Qingzheng's life, let alone her relationship with Rong Che.
Regarding the other women appearing around Rong Che, I was just surprised, really... just surprised...
The fifth lady was shaken when she thought of Yan Qingzheng's age. Maybe she was overthinking it. A fourteen-year-old girl who grew up in a sect might not know what emotion is at all.
Thinking of this, the fifth lady also let go, pulled her two younger sisters and asked: "You should be passing by Tianlaifang later. I heard that there is the best piano player there. Should we also order a piece of music?"
"Rather than listening to music, I want to guess lantern riddles!" Miss Six also became interested.
"The songs, music, and dances of Tianlaifang, and the lanterns, riddles, and chess of Ruyi Pavilion are all outstanding. We can really experience them today!"
