on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

An elaborate painting boat gradually sailed to the shore, the hull of the ship was surrounded by relief auspicious clouds, and the eaves and corners of the eaves and delicate four-cornered pavilions stood proudly in the bow of the boat, and the panes in the painting boat were not pasted with window paper, but hung with light blue patterned muslin, like a carriage curtain.

Half Moon got out of the carriage, frowned and sat on the bluestone bench on the bank of the river, staring at the movement of the painting boat, worried in her heart: what if the descendants of Ding'an coveted the beauty of the county lord, what if she was frivolous, the county lord was really, how could she leave her on the shore to watch the carriage and get on the boat alone?

There was silence on the shore, Lian Sheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, jumped off the carriage easily, walked to Banyue and sat down, and opened the conversation stiffly: "When did the county lord and my son-in-law become so acquainted......?"

Banyue gave him a look of "Do you blame me for your dereliction of duty", and said with a calm face: "I'm not familiar." ”

……

Yi Ying carefully looked at the carvings in the painting boat, and said with a smile: "Why did you rent a painting boat, and now you have spare money in your hand?"

Lian Jingqian shook his head helplessly and smiled, and his heart really spared no effort to dismantle his platform: "...... It's not good for the open-air boat to show its face, and the painting boat is also elegant and quiet, which is convenient for talking. ”

Yi Ying pursed her lips and smiled, saw some fruit pastries on the desk, and sat down to eat unceremoniously.

A pearl-white hand holds a plump green grape in its hand, and sends it to a mouth that looks like it has been smeared with a faint layer of nectar.

He poured himself a glass of wine and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that there is something wrong with this thing?

Yiying heard that there was still some inexplicable hostility in his words, and he shook his hand, and then still ate Qingti without changing his face, and said vaguely in his mouth: "If you are afraid, you will not get on the boat, firstly, we are now in the same boat, and secondly, you are not a person who can do that kind of thing." ”

Lian Jingqian suddenly had a strange feeling.

The girl on the other side seemed to know everything about him, perhaps because of her special ability to foresee the future. He also has the ability to perceive people's minds, but she is the only one who is like a special case, even if he keeps staring into her eyes, he still doesn't know anything about her, he doesn't know what she is thinking, he doesn't know when her life will be related to him, and when she will turn around like a passerby, the only thing she knows is the unreserved kindness to him in Ling's eyes.

This feeling made him sullen and even a little overwhelmed.

He exhaled slightly, hid his thoughts and said, "Just kidding, thank you for this incident." ”

"There's nothing to thank, isn't it still your own ability? It's that I told others in advance, and others don't necessarily be able to be so showy, right?" Yiying's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she really admired the young man in front of her in her heart, in her previous life, Lian Jingqian, who had been fighting all the way, later became a general like Lao Ding'an.

However, when she saw Lian Jingqian smiling and bringing the wine glass to her mouth again, she stretched out her hand to stop it, and said angrily: "One is another, you are not allowed to drink on the boat, you are drunk and play drunk, I don't have the strength to stop you." ”

Lian Jingqian put down the wine glass as he said, and thought thoughtfully: "Did I do anything excessive when I was drunk that day? I haven't heard His Royal Highness mention ......?"

Yi Ying couldn't help but think of this person's lost soul in the cave, as if he could no longer stand up, and when his heart was soft, he couldn't help but secretly slander: There is nothing excessive, it's just yourself...... It's a shame.

But he said: "You can ask Li Yun about your erratic appearance in the main hall, that unruly appearance, tsk...... Fortunately, the emperor doesn't care about you. ”

Lian Jingqian blinked: "I'm still quite sober in the main hall, if that's the case, it's nothing to drink some wine," he said and raised his head to drink the wine in the wine glass, and looked at Yiying's face sank, and said with a smile: "My alcohol consumption is really not that bad, I was so confused that day, and it was also because I drank three jars of wine the day before......"

After experiencing these twists and turns, she faintly felt that the people who were sorry for the Lian family and Lian Jingqian were not only the first emperor...... She remembered Lian Jingqian's words just now, and bit her lip, if this is the case, should she also pay off the debts of the royal people...... After all, one is her maternal grandfather, and the other is her maternal uncle......

She couldn't help but whisper, "I'm sorry, it's the royal people who have treated you badly......"

Lian Jingqian didn't understand why the little girl on the other side suddenly became depressed, and hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with you." What I just said...... It really doesn't mean anything else, it's just a joke...... No matter how many mistakes there are, it is also the fault of the emperor, what does it have to do with you who was still a little bit at the time, don't carry everything on yourself. ”

Yiying bit her lip and looked at him: "If it is...... I'm sorry for your family today?"

He was stunned, his fingers unconsciously clenched the wine glass, and after a while, he said: "That has nothing to do with you, the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, and anyone in the heart of the person in power is just a courtier." His voice was low, and every word seemed to be full of vicissitudes, and then he raised his head, and his voice trembled a little: "What's the matter?

Yiying lowered her eyes slightly. The worst outcome he thinks of now is that the emperor is unwilling to rehabilitate Ding'an, but what if things are even worse...... But there was no solution to this question in his mind for a while, so he had to say: "No, my mother said that the emperor will restore the reputation of the Duke of Ding'an nine times out of ten, regardless of whether evidence can be found." ”

Lian Jingqian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and showed a relieved smile: "You say that, I still think that the matter is already yellow......

Yiying also squeezed out a smile, now it's just an intuition on her part, it's not sure, it's better not to think too much.

"By the way, when you weren't in the capital before, have you ever heard that King Dongyi has a son of half Nanming blood?"

Lian Jingqian thought for a while, but raised his head with a smile and said, "It seems that I have heard of it, I heard about it......"

Yi Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she leaned forward to listen.

In the middle of speaking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and the fruits on the table slid diagonally down the table and fell to the ground.

Lian Jingqian suddenly caught a glimpse of an iron hook next to the opposite window that was exposed by paint stripping, and Yiying was about to fall over there because of the shaking of the hull, so she hurriedly kicked the table aside and stretched out her hand to pull her over.

It's just that he didn't hold it steady in this way, and the whole person fell towards the ground in the painting boat, pressing Yiying under him.

Yiying's whole person was stunned, and after a period of dizziness, he found that he was pressed under the man, so close that the tip of his nose was about to touch, and he couldn't help blinking his eyes, digesting the amount of information about the scene in front of him.

Even Jingqian was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that his face was brushed with long eyelashes, itchy, his right hand tightly held the little girl's slender waist, and his left hand passed through her soft black hair on her shoulder, making him a little uncomfortable and a little inexplicable throbbing at the same time.
