It rained for a few days, and on the day of the lotus feast, the weather finally cleared.

Ling Jingyan put on her new clothes and put on all the six pieces of jewelry she picked up two days ago. Mei Zizi turned around in front of Ling Jingshu: "Auntie, how is it, is it good?" ”

Ling Jingshu couldn't help but laugh and praised it seriously: "Of course it's good-looking." From afar, I saw a burst of pearls and emeralds, bright and shining, and people who were shaking were dizzy. ”

…… Wait, is this complimenting her or making fun of her?

Ling Jingyan thought seriously for a moment, and then pounced on her teeth and claws: "Okay, you dare to make fun of me, see how I clean you up." ”

The two laughed.

Ling Jingshu stretched out her hand, pulled out a beaded hairpin and a hairpin for Ling Jingshu, and took off the gem collar around her neck. Then he pushed her to the mirror: "Look now, is it much more refreshing than before?" ”

A young girl in her prime of life, young is the greatest beauty. Jewelry is worn a lot, but the jewels look tacky.

Ling Jingyan looked at it for a while, and had to admit that what Ling Jingshu said was right: "Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you." He turned to Ling Jingshu and said, "What about you, don't you even wear a new dress today?" ”

Ling Jingshu smiled casually: "The lotus appreciation banquet specially held by Princess Changping, if I dress too casually, it will be disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess. New clothes always have to be worn, you wait a while, I'll come with new clothes. ”

Ling Jingyan nodded, secretly feeling strange in her heart.

Ah Shu had never dealt with Princess Changping before, but every time she mentioned Princess Changping, her tone was always a little inexplicably subtle......

After waiting for a while, Ling Jingshu quickly changed into new clothes and came out.

"How's it going, isn't it good?" Ling Jingshu followed Ling Jingyan's previous appearance. Took a circle.

Ling Jingyan looked at Ling Jingshu, her expression was a little weird, as if she couldn't say something unspeakable.

Ling Jingshu knew in her heart, and deliberately raised her eyebrows at Ling Jingyan and smiled: "What's wrong?" Isn't it amazing by my alluring country! ”

"Ashu, don't be kidding." Ling Jingyan let out a long breath, and confusion appeared on her face: "You are beautiful and moving, even if you don't deliberately dress up." It's also a full beauty. You deliberately wore this autumn-colored dress. I want to look old-fashioned, not to be eye-catching, right? ”

Ling Jingyan's expression was very serious, and Ling Jingshu also put away her jokes. Nodding his head without concealment, he admitted: "Yes, I did intend to do so." ”

"The last time I was in the Rejuvenation Hall, Lord Fumin made things difficult for me everywhere, just because of my face. The crown princess had a bad first impression of me. It's also because of my face. Princess Changping didn't have a good face when she saw me for the first time, or because of this face. ”

"The beauty of a woman's birth is a gift from heaven. There should be no complaints. But I really hope that this face will stop causing me attention and trouble. ”

…… This kind of feeling of wanting to sympathize with her and wanting to beat her up is really complicated and sour!

Ling Jingyan looked at Ling Jingshu with complex and contradictory eyes, and said honestly: "Qiu Xiangshi is indeed a little old-fashioned. Young girls rarely wear dresses of this color. But you look unexpectedly good in a dress of this color. ”

So, it's not noticeable or anything. It's impossible!

Ling Jingshu let out a long sigh: "Yes! When I looked in the mirror just now, I also found this strict fact. But if I had changed into bright clothes. Wouldn't it be more eye-catching? ”

…… What if you want to beat her up more?

Ling Jingyan also let out a long sigh: "Auntie, for the sake of us being cousins, I will reluctantly forgive you for hurting me unintentionally." ”

……

According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after the prince and princess grew up in the palace to be ten years old, they had to go out of the palace to build a mansion.

Princess Changping was very favored by the emperor, and when the princess's mansion was built, there were some places that "slightly" exceeded the princess's regulations, and the internal affairs office did not say anything, and the emperor only did not have such a thing.

Because of this, Princess Changping's mansion occupies an area that even exceeds that of her brother Chang'an Wang Kang, and is only slightly smaller than the East Palace Prince's Mansion. The carved beams and painted pavilions in the house are luxurious and exquisite, which is staggering.

There is only one back garden, which covers an area of hundreds of acres. This is in the inner city of Luoyang, where every inch of land is expensive, it is simply extravagant to the extreme.

Princess Changping likes peonies, and a large vacant land in the garden is specially circled to make a peony garden. It's a pity that now the peony flowering period has passed, and there are no peonies to appreciate, so you can only enjoy the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the lake.

This lake is not very big, covering an area of about a dozen acres, just in the northwest corner of the garden, specially leading in the living water, the lake water is clear. There are many varieties of valuable fish in it.

The lake is lined with greenery, and in the middle of the lake is a three-story viewing pavilion.

The lotus feast is set up on the viewing pavilion.

When you think of the viewing pavilion, you can walk over from the wooden bridge on the lake, or you can take a light boat and let the beautiful palace maid or the handsome chamberlain row, which is a special fun.

When Ling Jingshu and the others followed the steward to the lake, someone happened to get on the light boat by the lake.

Ling Jingshu smiled casually and asked, "Cousin Yan, do you want to take a boat?" ”

With Ling Jingyan's greedy and lively temperament, there is a * chance that she wants to take a boat.

Unexpectedly, this time Ling Jingshu guessed wrong.

Ling Jingyan shook her head again and again: "Forget it, let's take the wooden bridge to go over." Without waiting for Ling Jingshu to ask, he honestly confessed: "Since that time when I met the bandits on the boat in the middle of the night, I have had nightmares for many days. There is a psychological shadow on the boat. So, let's go over there! ”

Ling Jingshu smiled dumbly, she couldn't imagine that this would be the reason.

But......

"Cousin Yan, I was the one who was caught by the bandits that night, and I was the one who almost died. It should be me to have a shadow! Ling Jingshu was half-joking, half-joking, half-joking: "I'm fine, why are you afraid to get up on the boat?" ”

Ling Jingyan honestly admitted: "Don't look at how powerful I am, in fact, I am the least daring." Anyway, I don't dare to take the boat anymore. ”

Don't take a boat!

Ling Jingshu raised her voice and said to the attendant in front, "Let's stop taking the boat, let's walk over the bridge." ”

The chamberlain was a little surprised: "Are you ladies really not on the boat?" At this time, it is early summer, sitting on the boat, the wood pulp is rowed, and the layers of lotus leaves are swinged, which is a beautiful scenery. ”

The daughters of the boudoir who came to the princess's mansion for the banquet all took a boat to the viewing pavilion. Who would brave the sun to walk across the wooden bridge?

Ling Jingshu said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding us, but we are not used to taking a boat, so let's walk over." ”

The chamberlain didn't say anything more to persuade him, and led Ling Jingshu and his party to the wooden bridge.
