"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed calm." Qin Rui said smoothly, "I wonder which girl will be the candidate for the Crown Princess."
"What? Are you worried that your two sisters will be selected into the East Palace?" Fu Mingyu asked with a smile.
"If those two skinny monkeys enter the East Palace, they will be sent back within a few days, because they will lift the roof of the East Palace!" Qin Rui said disdainfully.
"Don't say that." Fu Mingyu turned to look at Qin Rui, her eyes flashing. In the previous life, the prince did have an interest in Qin Rui's two younger sisters.
The prince's biological mother passed away, and the Queen Zhou's maternal clan was now powerful, so the prince's uncle and grandfather advocated that the prince should marry a powerful princess to take over the East Palace.
Not only in her previous life but also in this rebirth, Fu Mingyu knew that she was not a candidate for the crown prince. Even if the prince's brother liked her, she was not even qualified to be the crown prince's concubine, because the Fu family had already given birth to a queen mother! The Fu family now has its own
Xu Qingliu would never let another person from his family be qualified to compete for the future queen or even the queen mother.
Besides, she really didn't want to stay in that palace any longer.
The most important thing is that, no matter in the previous life or in this reincarnation, she treated the prince with the same affection and respect as her brother, as she called him, without any affection for a son or daughter.
But the Qin family is different.
The father and son of the Qin family have a family of five generals, guarding the border, and holding 300,000 troops. They are an important official family in the court, and the military has always admired the Qin family, and several of the Qin family's close soldiers are also generals in the court.
, leading troops to garrison on one side respectively, so the strength of the Qin family is definitely not as simple as the 300,000 troops it seems on the surface.
In order to avoid royal suspicion, the Qin family never takes sides, but if the cow doesn't drink water, someone will hold it down. The queen has already taken action, how can the prince sit still...
As far as she knew, the prince would come to the hairpin banquet in person today, probably just to see the two girls from the Qin family, as well as the daughters of other wealthy families.
In fact, she didn't come to this hairpin banquet in her previous life, because at this time in her previous life, she was already in the palace waiting to be married, so she canceled the banquet herself. After all, she had Ding Wanxin's affairs in front of her, so she didn't have the inclination to attend.
What a banquet.
Qin Rui's eyes gradually calmed down. Although he said it casually, the look Fu Mingyu looked at him just now was meaningful.
Fu Mingyu grew up in the palace, so her perspective on things is naturally different from the other girls!
So the prince is really interested in his two younger sisters?
Just when Qin Rui was silent, he caught a glimpse of the float in the water moving. "The fish is coming!" he whispered.
Fu Mingyu immediately threw all the princes and queens out of the sky. The world was huge, and fishing was the biggest problem for her! She nervously held the fishing rod with both hands, "Do you want to pull it?"
"Wait a minute!" Qin Rui looked at the movement of the float and whispered, "The fish are just testing now."
"Fish are so smart?" Fu Mingyu asked with wide eyes.
"Nonsense!" Qin Rui also rolled his eyes at Fu Mingyu, "Fish also have brains, okay?"
"Just a little bit!" Fu Mingyu muttered. She had made a soup made from the brains of a hundred fish. She was really exhausted!
"A little bit is enough!" Qin Rui said.
"Okay!" Fu Mingyu shrugged, "Everything you said is right!"
While the two people were talking, their eyes were fixed on the fish float and they did not dare to move. "It's moving!" Qin Rui saw the float suddenly sinking into the water and said quickly, "Stop!"
Hearing this, Fu Mingyu quickly lifted the fishing rod with all his strength. As the fishing rod was pulled into a bow shape, the water splashed on the water surface, and a fish was pulled out of the water and hung on the fishing line, jumping around.
"Fish! Fish!" Fu Mingyu, who had caught a fish for the first time in two lifetimes, was already so happy that she was incoherent. The demeanor that a lady should have was completely forgotten by her at this time, and she kept watching.
The fish hanging on the pole said excitedly.
"Congratulations!" Qin Rui was so amused by Fu Mingyu that he almost couldn't stop laughing. He helped Fu Mingyu pull the fishing line and brought the fish over. The fish kept jumping on the grass, "Ah, it's only so big.
Ah!" Fu Mingyu was a little disappointed after seeing it clearly. The first thing she caught was a crucian carp not much bigger than a palm. "When I pulled the fishing rod just now, it was so heavy that I almost didn't pull it. I thought it was a big fish.
!”
"If it is really a big fish, your fishing rod will break if you pull hard!" Qin Rui said with a smile, "We can take this fish back and make soup!"
"Then let's catch a few more!" Fu Mingyu became more energetic, "The fish soup I made is delicious!"
Qin Rui smiled and took Fu Mingyu off the hook, then found two pieces of thatch and twisted them into straw ropes to tie the fish's mouth, and hung the fish in the shallow water on the side, so that the fish would not die.
, so that it won’t be stale by night!
"Someone will bring a bucket later." Qin Rui said with a smile while squatting by the lake to wash his hands.
"This bucket!" Fu Mingyu picked up the wooden bucket that contained wheat just now.
"That's right!" Qin Rui took the bucket and swung it with lake water, then filled it with water and put the crucian carp inside. "Keep going." He helped Fu Mingyu get the hook again.
Feeling familiar, I flicked the fishhook into the water, and then sat down on a bluestone by the lake.
This place was chosen by the two girls of the Qin family. It happened to have a blue stone to sit on and a big tree on one side to block the sun.
Just when Qin Rui was sitting on the grass on the side, a maid came over.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Qin from Dingguo's family?" The maid came over and said to Qin Rui.
"Yeah." Qin Rui nodded.
"How are you, Mr. Qin? In the name of the Duke's wife, I would like to ask you to move to Liu Yan Pavilion," the maid said.
"My mother?" Qin Rui was stunned for a moment, then glanced back at Fu Mingyu.
"Yes." The maid nodded.
"Since Mrs. Dingguo has summoned her, you should go quickly. I have Xinrui here with me, and your sister will be back soon." Fu Mingyu said with a smile.
"Okay." Qin Rui stood up, patted the grass clippings on his clothes and said, "I'll go take a look first. Come on and fish, don't be lazy, but I'm waiting for your fish soup in the evening!"
Fu Mingyu smiled and nodded.
After Qin Rui followed the maid and walked away, Fu Mingyu figured out that something was wrong. He was waiting for her fish soup no matter what. Shouldn't everyone go back to their own homes in the evening? Could it be that the fifth master of the Qin family wanted to be with Fu?
Go home for a meal?
Fu Mingyu... always felt as if he was being led into a ditch by Qin Rui!
