Before Song Liansheng could think of the answer, the appearance of a person made her suddenly burst open.

"Miss, tomorrow is the Lotus Picking Festival, I heard that those officials and relatives will come!"

Lingjiao said happily that this annual lotus picking festival is a rare and lively festival in Daqing. On this day, not only the concubines, but even the palace maids who serve also have the opportunity to pick lotus.

Therefore, Lingjiao, who has long wanted to row in the lotus pond of the Imperial Garden, will inevitably feel impatient.

glanced at her funny, but Song Liansheng was noncommittal. In the past, she was in the palace, because of the reason for staying in the cold palace, these festivals were always just watched from a distance, and she didn't dare to participate at all.

Unexpectedly, now, she is also qualified to participate.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for this chance of rebirth, she might have died alone in the cold palace for the rest of her life. When you think about it this way, isn't it really time to feel happy or sad......

"Miss, which one are you going to wear tomorrow?"

The Lotus Picking Festival is a major festival in the harem, which is not only presided over by the queen herself, but even the emperor will take the time to participate. So for the concubine, tomorrow is a good opportunity to compete for favor!

However, Song Liansheng is not keen on this, if it was before, she would probably be eager for such an opportunity. But now, especially after spending the night with Helian, she is a little avoidant.

Not to mention that if Concubine Ning's matter is handled properly, she can successfully gain Helian's trust, so she doesn't need to work hard in this regard. Helian's attitude towards her alone made her a little reluctant to do it.

The hearts of the people in this palace are nothing more than the word interests. As long as you spin on this, even the most complex thoughts will become clear. But it was only Helian Night, but Song Liansheng couldn't grasp it.

Therefore, such a showy thing should be given to other concubines......

The next day, before the sun had fully risen outside, Song Liansheng was woken up by the sound of Lingjiao's bang.

"Lingjiao, what are you doing?"

Rubbing his eyes helplessly, Song Liansheng put on a single coat and wanted to see what Lingjiao was doing. Early in the morning, even the chickens have not yet begun to crow, so noisy and shouting is really disturbing people's dreams.

"Miss, woke you up?"

Rubbing her sore shoulders, Lingjiao rarely showed the shy appearance of her little daughter's family, and she looked a little embarrassed. But then, she neatly took out the things at hand, and there was a faint sense of showing off, which made people laugh.

"What is this?"

Looking at the things in her hand, Song Liansheng was a little puzzled. Although it looks a bit like an oar, on closer inspection, it is not very similar.

Seemed to be stunned by her question, Lingjiao also looked at the things in her hand at this time, and after a long time, she mustered up the courage to speak: "Miss, this is the oar." ”

There is a custom in the lotus picking festival, and the oars used by the concubines for rowing must be marked with their names. At that time, it is good to distinguish the ships in this way. Later, I don't know who started to paint on the oars again, and it became more colorful.

And now, whether it is painting or painting, anyway, the oars of each concubine have their own characteristics.

Looking at the red, green, and green oars in front of him, it seemed to be a little crooked. Song Liansheng resisted the urge to laugh, and when she saw Lingjiao looking at her expectantly, she could only reluctantly praise: "It's not bad, it's quite like an oar." ”

After listening to her affirmation, Lingjiao smiled. However, when Song Liansheng turned around to freshen up, she suddenly felt that Fang Cai's words seemed to be a little wrong......

The Lotus Picking Festival is worthy of being a feast in the palace, and the imperial garden is already full of people as soon as the sun rises. Helian stood in the middle of the lotus pond with the queen overnight, and they only had to wait and see where they would find the best lotus seeds to pick.

The others, when the gong sounded, went their separate boats like water. Either way, pick a basket full of lotus seeds and you're ready to return. When the time comes, the lotus seeds picked by each person will be presented, and the emperor and queen will personally select them.

Song Liansheng sat on the bow of the boat, a little absent-minded. The other concubines were eager to try, eager to set off immediately. She was the only one, searching hard in the crowd, but she was disappointed.

Didn't you come?

It stands to reason that all the officials and relatives will be present today, and as the relatives of the prince, they will naturally come. But she had already looked carefully, but she still didn't find Huang Shao's figure.

"Miss, it's about to start, you have to sit tight!"

Lingjiao has known water since she was a child, so there are eunuchs in charge of the oars on other boats, but only Song Liansheng is in charge of Lingjiao.

"Row yours, will I still fall?" Song Liansheng said with a smile, she was relieved of Lingjiao's skills. So she didn't worry about safety at all.

"Bell!"

The gong sounded, and all the ships rushed out like arrows from the string. However, he didn't go far before he was blocked by the lush lotus leaves. The boats loomed as if they had been swallowed up.

Song Liansheng picked the lotus seeds at will, regardless of whether they were big or good. Her mind is not here today, so she is not very serious.

Lingjiao rowed the boat slowly shuttling through the lotus pond, and Song Liansheng was happy to only pick the lotus seeds in front of her. Save time and effort, so leisurely!

And just as she was about to reach out and pick off the lotus seeds in front of her, she suddenly stretched out a pair of hands from behind the lotus leaves and grabbed the lotus seeds in front of her!

"It's you!"

When I picked the lotus seeds, I naturally saw the people behind me. Tangerine did not hide the surprise on his face at all, as if he did not expect to meet Song Liansheng here.

is no more fuss than her, Song Liansheng has nothing special to say. just said politely: "Ask Tangerine Chang Zai'an, I didn't expect to meet here, it's a coincidence." ”

glared at her viciously, obviously Tangerine had no intention of gossiping with Song Liansheng. She thought that according to Song Liansheng's temperament, she would not have the face to attend such an occasion.

After all, she is not even a "real" concubine!

Who knew that she actually came, and she was so casual that she was so angry when she saw it! What she doesn't like the most is Song Liansheng's appearance, no matter what happens, she will always be so indifferent.

Thinking of this, a plan suddenly surged in her heart, and her eyes became more and more vicious when she looked at Song Liansheng.

I saw Tangerine pick up the lotus seed in his hand, tugging at the corner of his mouth and said, "Since it is such a coincidence, this should be the lotus seed of Song Guiren, so I should return it to you." ”

As she spoke, she handed the lotus seed in her hand forward. Because there was still some distance between the two boats, Song Liansheng didn't think much about it, so he stood up and stepped forward to get it.

Who knows, at this moment, Tangerine suddenly grabbed her hand and pushed her forward! By the time Song Liansheng found out that something was wrong, half of her feet were already hanging in the air!

Thump!

The sound of falling into the water made Lingjiao in front of her turn back suddenly, but Tangerine had already taken the opportunity to hide behind a large lotus leaf, so she only saw the corners of Song Liansheng's light blue clothes, sliding into the water violently!

"Miss! Miss! ”

Lingjiao hurriedly threw away the oars and ran forward in a few steps, but she couldn't see Song Liansheng. She was about to jump down, but the boat slid to the side and took her out again.

In a hurry, she jumped forward on the bow of the boat, followed the place where Song Liansheng fell into the water, and plunged into it.

At the same time, there was a cry of surprise "Help!" Someone's overboard! ”
