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."
Xu Xiuyi, the eldest daughter of the minister of Dali Temple, and Mo Feiyan, the second daughter of Zuodu Yushi, were fascinated by Xiao Xi's "cute" killing 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 become bad, and he no longer has 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, please be careful with your steps. Young Master Xiao Xi should be held by a young man." Chen Ning took Xiao Xi from Ming Lanruo's arms.
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "I heard from Grandma Wang that before your family's debt went down, you opened a martial arts gym in Jianghai Province. Your boxing and kicking skills and water skills are very good. No matter what happens, you must hold Xiao Xi and follow her well.
Tighten me."
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 gangway plank, but she didn't expect the lake water to suddenly ripple and the boat 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 the other 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 a scent of book ink floated into 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.
Minglan Ruo was in a daze for a moment, but for some reason, the young man's slender eyes reminded her of another pair of deep, dark and enchanting phoenix eyes.
Her heart suddenly palpitated and she skipped a beat.
She 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: "Xiaosheng just came to see Kaichun Lake. Can you take me on the boat to open my eyes?"
Ming Lanruo frowned: "But..."
The hidden scholar let go of his hand and lowered his dim eyes: "A lot of noble people are unworthy of me. It's just right for you to reject me."
Ming Lanruo: "......"
She didn't know why, but she felt that this scholar was like those eunuchs in the palace who talked in roundabout ways.
No, it should be those bitches who compete for the favor of the palace concubine.
