Chapter Forty-Eight: Beauty Lake
Seeing the table full of dishes, Yaoling immediately forgot the embarrassment just now, sat down hurriedly, and reached out to tear the chicken thighs on the plate. Feng Zhao was slightly stunned, shook his head, and sat down. looked at Yaoling, who was tearing and dragging, and asked, "Why are you like a person who hasn't eaten for three days." โ
Yaoling said with meat in her mouth: "I haven't rested for three days and three nights in order to come back today." โ
Hearing Yaoling say this, Fengzhao's eyes were distressed and annoyed, and he stretched out his hand to bring the meat in front of Yueming to Yaoling's side.
Yaoling raised her eyes and showed a mischievous smile to Yueming, "Don't smile at him" Fengzhao noticed her blinking eyes with a smile, Yaoling hurriedly turned her head and smiled mischievously at him. The cheeks are bulging.
"Eat slowly, you will choke if you eat too hard. The moonlight on the opposite side floated lightly, and the wind stared at the past, and the moonlight at this moment had a slight softness in his eyes, but he looked at Yaoling and ignored the wind light. Seeing the two of them like this, Yaoling hurriedly swallowed the meat in her mouth and muttered, "Can you two let me eat it well? With that, he reached out and pulled a chicken leg and ate it. Looking at the small hand stretched out to the plate, Yueming and Fengzhao looked surprised when they received the enemy, Fengzhao opened a pair of handsome eyes with a look of disbelief even more exaggeratedly: "You are so fast" Yaoling looked at the expressions on Fengzhao and Yueming's faces, and then looked at the chicken legs in her hands, with a blank face, "Didn't you just eat two chicken legs" She muttered in her mouth.
It turned out that in order to be able to rush back to Yanjing on the fifteenth, Yaoling simply abandoned the luxurious princess carriage, rode the guard's horse and ran day and night, and finally rushed back to the county king's mansion this evening.
Didn't let the chief manager report that she came to the backyard directly along the flute, hearing the flute sound high-pitched and excited, she jumped lightly and stood on the moon door and forgot to go, under the moon, the pavilion was dressed in white, the waves splashed on the water, the wind of the wide-sleeved brocade robe shone freely and gracefully, and the sword spirit was heroic and she couldn't help but move her martial thoughts, and flew out with a shake of her hand.
When the food was almost finished, she asked Fengzhao and Yueming, "Are you going to see the lanterns?" both of them shook their heads with disdainful expressions on their faces, Yaoling got up and walked out of the pavilion with a pout, "These two expressionless people" scolded in their hearts. The reason why she came back today in a hurry was to see the lanterns.
Out of the Prince's Mansion, you can go wherever the crowd is lively, and the people on the street are dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and smiles. Adults are paired up, children are chasing and frolicking with various lanterns, and colorful fireworks bloom in the sky from time to time. The fifteenth lantern festival of these three small countries in the south is the most beautiful, and the southerners paint the delicate and delicate softness unique to the south on the lanterns. There were groups of lanterns walking by on the street, some of which had to be carried by seven or eight strong men, like the lantern that had just walked in front of her, there were palaces, high platforms, fluttering cranes, and immortals playing flutes. A small river meanders through the city, filled with lotus lanterns.
At this time, a lotus lamp was handed over from the side, "You can also put one" The warm voice came, and when he turned his head, he saw Feng Zhao holding two lotus lanterns in his hand, and Yueming next to him was holding a delicate palace lamp in his hand, and the light was glowing with a faint soft yellow. She couldn't help but have a faint smile on her face. took the lotus lantern handed over by Fengzhao, put it in the palm of his hand, lowered his eyes, and silently made a wish in his heart. Then he squatted down, slowly put the lotus lamp in his hand into the water, and watched it slowly float away along the water. Fengzhao also put the lotus lantern in his hand and floated away with the lamp of Yaoling.
The three of them walked in the streets and alleys with the popularity, sharing people's joy and happiness.
"Maybe this is my last Lantern Festival in Yanlong," Fengzhao said suddenly with some sadness. Hearing him say this, Yao Ling smiled: "I will be where you are." Feng Zhao's eyes sparkled brightly in the light of the lamp, and he looked at her brightly. Yueming, who was next to her, was still walking unhurriedly with the delicate palace lamp in her hand, and there was no expression on her face.
Four days later, Yaoling's princess carriage arrived at the Ningjun Palace. Facing Yaoling's carriage, Feng Zhao deliberately pretended to have a surprised expression with the two maids and two guards standing next to the carriage: "I didn't expect Jiang Li's Princess Rongyu to be really different!" Yaoling also deliberately looked proud, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet your Yanlong monarch"
"Seeing the monarch" Fengzhao was a little puzzled.
"Of course, I am now Jiang Li's princess, and of course I want to see your monarch when I come to Yanlong, and I am going to ask him for a mansion for me to settle down temporarily. She fluttered her beautiful big eyes with curly eyelashes, and her expression was very rich, looking at the wind and light, "I want all of you Yanlong to know that I am Jiang Li's princess." โ
"Don't move out to live" a cold sentence was put in front of her, "Letter to me" Feng Zhao said with a pretended angry look. With some reluctance, Yaoling took out the letter written by Rong Yuan to Chang Ruojin from her arms and handed it to Fengzhao. took the letter and held Feng Zhao in his arms: "Follow me into the palace tomorrow" After saying that, there was a thick smile in his eyes, Yaoling also laughed, stretched out his hand and grabbed Feng Zhao's arm, which naturally leaned on the crook of his arm. Feng Zhao lowered his head and looked at Yaoling beside him, and there was tenderness in his eyes.
The next day, Feng Zhao led Yao Ling to each sit in their own carriage and swayed into the palace. When Chang Ruojin saw Yao Ling on Feng Zhao's side, there was a touch of surprise on her face, and when she saw Feng Zhao take out Rong Yuan's national letter, the doubts on her face were even more obvious, and after picking up the letter, the expression on her face changed again and again, and finally calmed down.
Putting away the letter, he said to Yaoling, "Can you take a look at your jade medal?"
Yaoling took out the princess jade medal from her sleeve. Chang Ruojin looked at it carefully and then returned it to Yaoling, and instructed the chief eunuch next to him:
"Arrange it, arrange a palace for Princess Rongyu of Jiang Li in the palace, and send ten more maids over. โ
Feng Zhao wanted to interrupt when he heard this, but was stopped by Rong Yuan.
Yaoling was also anxious to say something, but was also interrupted by Chang Ruojin, "Princess Rongyu has a noble status, and she is a good friend of Ning'er, so she should live in my Yanlong's palace." Then he ordered someone to lead Yaoling to the palace to familiarize himself with the environment, and after watching Yaoling go out, Chang Ruojin said to Fengzhao: "Jiang Li's letter from the monarch not only shows that Yaoling is Jiang Li's princess, but also says that someone will be sent to Yanlong to propose marriage again in the future, of course, this proposal is for Yaoling." At this point, he looked at Fengzhao very meaningfully and said: "It is also Rong Yuan's intention to let Yaoling live in the Yanlong Palace, after all, Yaoling is now Jiang Li's princess, and her reputation is related to Jiang Li." Feng Zhao knew what it meant, and nodded helplessly.
Yao Ling swayed and followed the chief eunuch to Xiao Yaxuan arranged for her by Chang Ruojin, looking around at the heart of the boss's unwillingness, at this moment she regretted scolding herself for being stupid, she didn't want to live in this broken palace at all, but now there is no way to change it.
Absent-mindedly, he looked here and there, and at this moment he saw a young man in a pale yellow brocade dress coming in from inside the door, with a face like Fu Fan, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a beautiful posture. Yao Ling stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes and walked in slowly, and the chief eunuch next to him hurriedly saluted: "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince" The person who came was Chang Yueqing.
It turned out that Yueqing and the other princes and princesses were studying in the palace college, and the teacher who taught the study didn't know what was going on, and Yueqing didn't want to listen to the chatter of those princes and princesses in the academy, so she got up and went back to her palace. When walking through a long corridor, he saw a woman in a pale cyan smoke dress behind him from a distance, he casually glanced at it and was about to continue walking, suddenly he turned his head sideways and looked at the back of the woman in the distance, with a disbelieving expression on his face, he turned around and followed.
Yaoling looked at this elegant young man with big beautiful eyes, and her little head began to think non-stop, "Seventh Prince, no wonder it looks a little like that cold moon." Looks like it's his younger brother."
"Yaoling?" Yueqing called tentatively. When Yao Ling heard Yueqing call her name, she immediately had a puzzled look on her face. "How do you know my name?"
After getting the confirmation, Yueqing put away her cautious temptation and smiled at Yaoling Qingya: "I have seen you, you are injured and unconscious, and the queen mother and I went to see you in the royal brother's mansion." "The clear voice is very good.
Hearing Yueqing say this, Yaoling immediately had a good impression of him. "It turns out that you are Chang Yueqing, I often listen to Xiao Ning talk about you. I almost called out the word Xiaofeng again.
After looking at Xiao Yaxuan, Yueqing asked Yaoling: "Brother Wang asked you to enter the palace?" Yaoling knew what he meant, and a trace of chagrin and regret couldn't help but appear on her face.
At this time, the chief eunuch next to him said in a hoarse voice: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, this is the palace prepared by His Majesty for Princess Jiang Lirongyu. After listening to the introduction of the chief eunuch, Yueqing said to herself: "Princess Jiang Lirong Yu" suddenly looked at Yaoling with wide eyes full of doubts and surprises, and Yaoling nodded in frustration.
"Why did you become Jiang Li again" Yueqing wanted to say more, but when she saw Yaoling's depressed face, she endured it, he was already a very cultivated person, and seeing Yaoling's appearance, she knew that this matter must not be as good as she wanted, so she stopped what she wanted to ask. Seeing Yaoling's unhappy face, he scratched his head and said as if he remembered something: "I'll take you to row, the most beautiful place in this palace is Beauty Lake." โ
Hearing that there was a place to play, she suddenly didn't know where to fly when she was annoyed and depressed, and Yaoling's eyes immediately brightened, "Okay, I haven't rowed yet" She said happily.
"Let's go," Yueqing said to Yaoling. The chief eunuch next to him wanted to stop him, but as soon as Yue Qing flicked his sleeves, he had to close his mouth and bend over to send the two out of the courtyard.
Turning around, passing a long corridor and passing through a number of palaces, walking all the way Yueqing introduced Yaoling all the way, and by the way, there were some stories and legends interspersed in the middle, Yaoling was laughing while walking, provoking the palace maids next to her to look sideways one by one.
Coming to the beauty lake, Yaoling couldn't help but exclaim, the lake in front of her is really beautiful, the sky is blue and the lake is blue, and there is an island in the middle of the lake. There is not a trace of flaw at the junction of heaven and water.
"Why is it called Beauty Lake?" she asked Yueqing. I don't understand how a lake can have such a name.
Yueqing smiled brightly, "It is said that when you look at this lake from a high place, it looks like the eyes of a beauty. That's why it's called Beauty Lake. "
"Have you seen it from a high place?" she asked Yueqing, who shook her head: "Brother Prince Wang and Brother Ning have both seen it." I don't know how to work lightly, so I haven't seen it," he said with some regret.
"Would you like to see it?" she asked, blinking at her big beautiful eyes.
He nodded.
With a flick of the wrist, the bell jingled, a horse of colorful brocade hung above the lake like a rainbow, grabbed Yueqing's waist, and the two flew to the colorful brocade, with the gliding forward, at this time Yao Ling looked down, the lake into the shape of the eye is wonderful in the middle of the island is like an eyeball, the lake is calm and clear, reflecting the blue sky and reflecting the white clouds. It's like a beauty with you and me in her eyes.
Yueqing is also the first time to see the whole picture of the beauty lake, and it is also the first time to be carried by someone to fly so high, and he can't speak for a while, looking at the palace with layers of blue water under him, with gliding Yaoling holding the colorful brocade in one hand and holding Yueming's waist with one hand, he kept rolling up the colorful brocade and then threw it out, and then glided on it, looking at Yueqing with an excited face, Yaoling was also very happy. The palace people below were also attracted by the flying posture of the two, and they looked up at the sky one by one.
In the gliding, Yueqing turned his face sideways and looked at Yaoling next to him, his skin was like jade, his eyes were like stars, and his lips were like cherries, and his face suddenly turned red. At this time, Yaoling also turned her head to look at Yueqing, but saw Yueqing's red face, "poof" she laughed, she smiled, Yueqing was even more embarrassed, her face was even redder, and her body involuntarily struggled to get rid of Yaoling, Yaoling was not guarded, and when Yueqing, who broke away from Yaoling's arms, it was too late to react, and the whole person suddenly fell from the colorful brocade.
Seeing Yueqing who fell down on her back, Yaoling was ridiculous and annoyed, and hurriedly shook the colorful brocade in her right hand and rolled towards Yueqing, and the colorful brocade wrapped Yueqing a few times, and at this moment Yaoling also slid to Yueqing's side with the colorful brocade, and flew to the shore as soon as her left hand stretched Yueqing's waist. The sky is blue and the water is blue, a girl is like a fairy flying to the world, holding a young man who has fallen into the mortal dust in her hand, and sending him to a safe place, Yueqing, who was held up, imagined the scene of them flying on the lake at this time.
Rattle took Yueqing to glide on the lake for a moment, and landed on a small boat tethered to the lake. Put away the colorful brocade, Yueqing stood in the boat but didn't look at Yaoling, "Hey, didn't you take me rowing?" Yaoling asked Yueqing heartily, Yueqing was a little embarrassed "um", sat on the bow of the boat and picked up the oars and rowed.
"Bang bang," the boat left the shore and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake, Yao Ling sat on the side of the boat and put her hand into the water, the feeling of coolness, coolness, gentleness, and softness spread to her heart, although it was winter now, but Yanlong's winter was still blooming like brocade and warm like spring.
Seeing Yueqing's rowing difficulty, she laughed crisply. "I'll row" She walked up to Yueqing lightly.
Raising her eyes to look at the bright and bright-toothed girl, Yueqing blushed and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how to row?"
"Giggles," Yaoling looked at the blushing Yueqing and laughed happily, "Why do you love red faces so much." As soon as the words came out, Yueqing hurriedly put down the oars in his hand, stood up and walked towards the other side of the boat.
Yaoling picked up the oars with both hands and rowed like Yueqing. I didn't think that the boat didn't go forward and turned up, Yueqing, who hadn't sat down, was shaken so much that the boat flashed twice, and subconsciously wanted to grab something with both hands, but nothing caught the "plop" person and fell into the water. Yao Ling, who was rowing the boat, shouted softly, and wanted to catch Yueqing, who fell into the water, but unexpectedly, the boat shook and she also fell, thinking that she was about to lift her breath and jump up, but she was too close to the water, and she didn't have time to perform light skills. "Ahem," a stream of cold water rushed into her mouth and nose, and she struggled to beat the water with her hands, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in her heart. "Ahem" There was also a choking sound next to her, and when she turned her head, she saw Yueqing next to her also hitting the water up and down, thinking that she was going to come to her. At this time, the palace maids on the shore were all anxious, shouting one by one, one hand grabbed her hand in the fluttering, it turned out that Yueqing struggled to her "Yaoling, don't be afraid, I'll help you up" He coughed and said, Yaoling was anxious: "You can't float yourself, how can you save me?" During the struggle, she saw a dark green figure leaping over the water, she smiled, shook her little hand at the dark green figure and shouted happily: "I'm here, little"
Holding Yaoling in one hand, holding Yueqing's wind in the other, he hatefully lifted the two to the shore, at this time Yaoling really seemed to have been falling into the soup chicken, the clothes were tightly attached to the body, and the water droplets on the hair flowed down the face, Yueqing was also the same wolf bรจi, Fengzhao untied his robe and wrapped the soaked Yaoling, at this time, a palace man next to him was busy untying his robe and also draped on Yueqing's body.
Yaoling looked at Yueqing's wolf bรจi, giggling and laughing breathlessly, laughing and sneezing, Yueqing heard her laugh at herself, with a look of chagrin: "You yourself are the same, you still laugh at me." Seeing that the two of them looked like such wolves, Fengzhao's face turned black and black, and he snorted cold air in his nose. Yaoling hurriedly held back her laughter, a pair of beautiful eyes explored back and forth on Fengzhao's face, seeing that Fengzhao was really angry, she stopped laughing, and muttered in her mouth: "I just want to row" Fengzhao took the Jinpa, wiped the water stains on Yaoling's head, and then said to a consular palace person next to him, go back and tell his father that Princess Rongyu and the Seventh Prince were playing in the lake, and accidentally contracted typhoid fever, I took it back to the house to recuperate, and then ordered the imperial doctor to show the Seventh Prince a look" After speaking, he pulled up Yaoling and left.
Looking at Yaoling who was pulled away by Fengzhao with a stunned expression, Yueqing opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.
