I saw Fu Yunqi and Fu Yanshuo standing by the lake, one white and one blue particularly dazzling.
The two of them jumped in the air, tapped their toes, and landed on the small boat.
Huyin quickly placed the guqin beside him, stood up and saluted Fu Yunqi.
The second prince approached her, raised his hand and gently helped her up, with a joking expression on her face.
"Let's go, don't disturb their affection."
After saying that, he stretched out his arms to hug Hu Yin. Seeing her face turning red, Chu Miaoer smiled, feeling that the two of them were a perfect match.
"Is it so beautiful?"
Watching the two of them walking side by side with respect to each other as guests, they gradually disappeared from sight. It must have been that after watching them for a long time, Fu Yunchi said something, and she came back to her senses.
"ah?"
She looked up at Fu Yunqi, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, her almond-shaped eyes reflecting the lake light clearly, her mouth slightly open, obviously she hadn't recovered yet, it was the first time Fu Yunqi saw her looking so cute and innocent, and he actually found her pretty.
After looking closely at the joy that could not be concealed on his face, Chu Miaoer realized that he had lost his composure, turned his head, and stopped looking at him.
"Smile, smile, what's so funny."
After all, she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and her hearing was very good. Fu Yunqi's words fell into Fu Yunqi's ears all the time. Looking at her serious and dignified figure, he found it even more interesting.
"I'm going to Xiling tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"
"you......"
"Miss Huyin will also go with my second brother, so you can be a companion."
"I......"
"I heard that the Queen's search for a girl was fruitless, and she is on her way here again today."
"OK!"
The boat had already docked, and Fu Yunqi stepped ashore first.
The skirts worn by women in ancient times were really inconvenient for movement. Although it was indeed inelegant to lift one's legs, Chu Miao'er did not expect that he would be as considerate as the second prince and come over to help her.
A pair of hands with sharp joints suddenly stretched out in front of his eyes, with clear lines. The mouth where he entered the eyes was covered with calluses. At first glance, he looked like someone who had practiced martial arts for many years, but his nails were round and clean.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Miaoer put her hands on his palms. Those hands were not as weak as they seemed on the surface. She just felt that she didn't use any force and fell to the ground.
He was about to leave tomorrow. When he and he walked to the end of the corridor, they heard the noise of leaving in the palace. Chu Miaoer found an excuse and walked towards his room.
Halfway through, she suddenly wondered if Huyin was alone in the dormitory. After what happened just now, the Second Prince probably would not let her return to the main hall.
Although it was getting late, Huyin must not have slept. Chu Miaoer found it amusing to think that she saw him surprised and yet remaining reserved.
After asking the maid about Huyin's residence, Chu Miaoer walked comfortably on the verandah.
Originally, she always had an attitude of maintaining Chuhe's boundaries towards Fu Yunqi, but he saved her when she fell from his horse, spoke for her in the hall, and even helped her considerately just now, so he didn't seem to be annoying.
But I am afraid that my modern view of love cannot be accepted by him, and in the end I will end up with a reputation as a jealous woman.
Huyin's residence is not too far away, only a long corridor away from him.
The palace lanterns illuminate the scene, and the beauty's figure sways on the window.
Chu Miaoer looked inside and saw that the room had been specially equipped with a guqin for entertainment. It can be imagined that the second prince treated her very well.
Seeing Hu Yin gently wiping the strings with a silk handkerchief, she has delicate hands. It would be a pity not to make hand models in modern times.
"Sister Huyin can't sleep after she separated from the second prince?"
Huyin was really shocked when she saw someone breaking in. Just as she expected, Huyin remained gentle and reserved even though she was surprised.
She put down the silk handkerchief in her hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Miao'er is just talking nonsense. I am in love with him but only polite, and I have not exceeded the rules in the slightest."
After hearing this, Chu Miaoer suddenly became energetic, sat down in front of the piano, and looked at her with burning eyes.
"Sister, do you really mean what you say?"
Hu Yin was not shy and looked at her firmly: "Of course I take it seriously."
"The second prince is very romantic. No one knows that he actually has a woman he can't win over." Chu Miao'er smiled coquettishly, "Sister Huyin is so powerful!"
"Fragrant grass is easy to find in the end of the world, but good friends are hard to find in the world."
Chu Miaoer felt that Huyin was really sober in the world, and she admired her even more in her heart.
She held Huyin's hand and sighed slightly: "In my opinion, it is excellent for the second prince to raise his sister. Although my sister was born in a land of smoke and willows, she is comparable to a lotus in the water and a cold plum in the snow. You can't belittle yourself."
Huyin covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes filled with autumn water.
"The fourth prince is also very concerned about his sister. If he hadn't come forward in the main hall, my sister would have angered the emperor."
"Huh, if I offend the emperor, it won't do him any good."
Not wanting to talk about this matter again, Chu Miaoer found another topic to chat about.
It wasn't until tiredness hit me and I started yawning uncontrollably that I realized it was already midnight.
Chu Miaoer stood up and was about to leave. Hu Yin said softly: "Sister Miaoer, just sleep here. We have to leave early in the morning and it will take quite a while to go back."
"The Second Prince won't come back to sleep?"
Huyin knew she was joking, so he pretended to be angry and said, "That's nonsense again. He has his own place to live."
She looked for the couch and lay down, she was really sleepy. Even if Huyin helped her fix her hair and take off her clothes, she couldn't do anything. She fell asleep within a moment after smelling the aroma in the room.
A flat boat floats on the lake in the spring breeze. A man in blue stands at the head of the boat, holding a jade flute in his hand, and plays a long and clear tune between his lips.
How come he is here?
Although doubts welled up in his mind, Chu Miaoer still took etiquette into consideration, took a step forward, and bowed his knees to salute.
"I've met the Second Prince."
The sound of the flute stopped suddenly, the man put away the jade flute and turned around slowly.
After seeing the appearance clearly, Chu Miaoer was shocked and said in shock: "Fourth Prince?!"
Fu Yunqi stepped off the bow of the boat and walked towards her slowly.
"If I only treat you well for the rest of my life, will you be willing to follow me?"
Chu Miao'er obviously didn't expect him to ask such shameless words, and her face suddenly turned red and her eyes flickered.
"If Wan Niang leaves, are you willing to follow me with peace of mind?"
He pressed forward step by step, and Chu Miaoer retreated hastily until she had no way out. Fu Yunchi grabbed her waist, and it was too late for Chu Miaoer to escape.
"Do you like me?"
Being firmly imprisoned in his arms and unable to move, Chu Miaoer felt ashamed and anxious when he saw his eyes moving and slowly lowering his head, and shouted: "Fu Yunqi!"
Suddenly awakened, Chu Miaoer suddenly opened her eyes and saw that she was still in Huyin's room, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Yin sat on the edge of the couch and saw Chu Miao'er's face turning red. She couldn't help but joked: "But did you dream about the Fourth Prince?"
As if he had been told something that was on his mind, Chu Miaoer's face quickly flushed, and her mouth pursed.
"Since sister has finished washing, why don't you wake me up earlier."
Hu Yin chuckled softly: "I'm afraid it will disturb my sister's dream."
Afraid that she would continue talking, Chu Miaoer opened the quilt and quickly fell down, covering her face.
She kept licking her face with Temari Shimizu, but the picture in her mind became clearer and clearer.
It's such a shame that I would have such wild thoughts about him, Chu Miaoer thought in annoyance.
After cleaning up, the sunshine drove away the morning mist and the air was chilly. Chu Miaoer took a breath of cold air and felt her worries disappear in an instant.
Seeing Fu Yunqi and Fu Yanshuo waiting at the entrance of the villa, Hu Yin urged her to speed up her pace.
"The Fourth Prince has been waiting for a long time."
Have you prepared a carriage?
Seeing the doubt on her face, Hu Yin explained softly: "Your Majesty was afraid that the journey would be tiring, so he ordered someone to prepare a carriage so that we could take a break."
So that was it. Chu Miaoer nodded slightly and raised her eyes to meet his. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly got into the carriage.
Fu Yunqi was confused. Huyin saw this and explained: "Sister Miaoer didn't sleep well last night and was very sleepy."
After Hu Yin got on the carriage, he saw her leaning against the window and taking a nap. He wanted to say something but gave up.
The group of six people, the bodyguards of the two princes, were originally looking for treasure, so in order to hide their identity, the six of them pretended to be ordinary people.
The carriage walked leisurely on the pipeline, with green willows on both sides and full of spring.
Through the sparse bamboo curtain, Chu Miaoer saw Fu Yunqi and Fu Yanshuo both riding horses, one in front and one behind.
Seeing his hair tied up high and his free and uninhibited back, I couldn't help but think of the dream just now.
If he really does it, is he really willing?
Fu Yunqi turned his head and saw her thoughtful expression, and felt puzzled.
The carriage entered the territory of Dongling, and Chu Miaoer slowly woke up.
Opening the bamboo curtain, even though she knew how prosperous Dongling was, Chu Miaoer was still shocked by the sight in front of her.
I saw rows of buildings on both sides, including restaurants, medicine shops, incense shops, wine shops, and carpenters, blacksmiths, florists and various vendors.
The streets are bustling with cars and horses, and people are walking shoulder to shoulder, all with happy faces.
Dongling and Xiling are located on both sides of the Jin Kingdom, not far apart, but the people's living habits are completely different.
During the war, because Xiling was surrounded by mountains, it received natural protection, so the people were stable and prosperous, and Chu Miaoer has been living here.
The terrain of Dongling is flat, and it is often attacked and plundered by the Dongjue people, making the people miserable.
After the late emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he solved was the economic problem of Tangling. Not only did he open the Grand Canal here, making Tangling a necessary place for grain transportation from the south to the north, but he also vigorously developed humanities and encouraged the establishment of women's private schools. With the support of the imperial court, Dongling
The mausoleum grew rapidly and became increasingly prosperous.
Seeing her expression suddenly change from excitement to despair, Hu Yin couldn't help but become worried.
"Sister Miaoer, what's going on?"
Chu Miaoer looked away and shook her head gently.
"When I was young, my grandmother once told me that Tanglin was becoming increasingly prosperous. She said she would bring me to see it, but I never had the chance again."
Realizing that she had made a mistake, Hu Yin quickly said: "It's my sister's fault..."
"My grandmother is a very kind person. I have been sent to her since I was born. She knows that I am destined to be evil, and she often takes me to the temple to pray for blessings regardless of my old body. Others always say that I am a bad luck star that killed my mother.
, only my grandmother said that my mother tied her life to me, so as long as I am safe in my life, my mother’s wishes will be fulfilled, but it’s a pity that they never saw me get married.”
Huyin slowly stroked her hair, full of affection.
As if remembering something, Chu Miaoer's clear eyes suddenly fluctuated.
"One year, the Dongjue people attacked in a sneak attack. Many Dongling people were killed and injured, and the court was incompetent. It was Xiling that opened the city gate to let the refugees into the city. That time, my grandmother and I saw a street vendor on the way back home. I insisted on buying candied haws, but the refugees
Flooding into the city, my grandmother and I were immediately dispersed..."
"...Only that one time, my grandmother punished me by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights..."
Feeling Huyin's gentle touch, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but feel moist.
Although she was not her biological grandmother, she was the only close relative she had here. Only she kept her from being like a duckweed, with no roots under her feet and no one to rely on.
"Now that my sister has married a good man, my grandmother must be very happy in heaven."
She just nodded slightly, her throat a little more choked.
When my grandmother heard that her father was going to marry her to the fourth prince, she was so excited that her condition worsened. Now if my grandmother is really a spirit in heaven, I hope she won't worry about her anymore. Although Fu Yunqi is cold-blooded, he is not as ruthless as the outside world says.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what's going on?"
The bamboo curtain was opened by Fu Yanshuo, and Chu Miaoer lowered his head in panic to wipe away the wet tears from the corners of his eyes.
The moment she raised her head, her pupils tightened, and she suddenly fell into Fu Yunqi's deep eyes.
