The summer of the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan came very early, and it was just April, and people couldn't bear the heat and took off their spring clothes and put on light summer clothes.

Huzhou City is located in an inland basin, but it is rainy all year round, and the water resources are abundant, and it is known as the small south of the Yangtze River. Because of the abundance of water, lakes can be seen everywhere in Huzhou City, and lakes of all sizes almost connect the entire Huzhou City into a water world.

Where there is a lot of water, lotus flowers are mostly indispensable.

The same is true of Huzhou City, which is as big as Wuhu as far as the end in sight, and as small as a small pond that is only a few feet and a few squares, as long as there is water, people have planted lotus flowers with graceful grace and different varieties.

Legend 20 years ago Huzhou City was rarely able to see lotus flowers, until today's Shengshang, that is, the founding emperor of the Dawu Dynasty more than 20 years ago and the queen played here, jokingly planted a few lotus seeds, only now Huzhou City this fairyland-like scenery.

Of course, legends are just legends after all, few people will take it seriously, and most people just think that the people of Huzhou City made up such a story far-fetched in order to add color to Huzhou. You must know that more than 20 years ago it was in a troubled era, and today's saint may have just begun to show his edge in the troubled times, and it is really difficult to say whether he will have that leisure to play in Huzhou.

What do others think, the people of Huzhou City can't control it, anyway, they themselves take this legend seriously, because most of the people of Huzhou City like lotus and love lotus, as long as there is water - it is just an abandoned water tank at home, and it is absolutely indispensable to see the traces of lotus flowers.

Therefore, every summer, the city is rippling with blue waves, and the lotus fragrance fills the city, and in the long run, Huzhou City has become the first choice for the nobles of the family to escape the summer.

If the usual Huzhou City is a quiet and elegant lady, then Huzhou in summer is undoubtedly a lively and agile girl, full of lively and brocade prosperity, but not noisy.

As soon as the weather is hot, the large and small lakes in Huzhou City have become the most lively places, especially the Shili Lotus Embankment, one of the three unique lakes in Huzhou, which is even more lively these days. Even if it is not yet the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the ten-mile-long embankment has not been broken from morning to night, and the lake surface that has been deliberately left empty has sailed on the delicate and gorgeous painting boat early, and there are also the boatmen who are attentive to row out their own boats, picking up tourists who are willing to watch the early summer lotus flowers at close range, in exchange for some extra items.

For a time, the entire Huzhou City was full of people and boats, so it was not lively.

After noon, the ten-mile lotus embankment is inevitably quiet for a few minutes, and only a few visitors still linger because of the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Suddenly, a tourist snorted hesitantly, and only after a long time did he say with some uncertainty: "This ...... What does it taste like? ”

A tourist next to him heard this and sniffed carefully, "Lotus fragrance? ”

It's no wonder they hesitate, although the lotus in Huzhou is famous, but now it is obviously not the season for the lotus to bloom, even if the lotus of the ten-mile lotus embankment has always crowned Huzhou City, at this time it is just just pulling out the sharp buds, far from blooming, but it is still very early, how can you smell the lotus.

However, after only a few moments, someone else gave an affirmative answer.

"Look!" A tourist pointed to the central road of the Shili Causeway in surprise.

The pointed buds on the lotus branches, which were clearly extracted, bloomed unreasonably slowly at this moment, under the influence of what kind of magical power. At first, it was not visible, but as the buds gradually opened, they faded to green, revealing the crimson color that was particularly fresh due to the premature blooming......

Even the most clumsy tourists can't help but be dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

Such a scene is not only staged in the Ten Mile Lotus Embankment.

At noon on this day, on the large and small lakes in Huzhou City, all the lotus flowers that have grown buds bloom at the same time!

If someone can look down from the top of Huzhou City at this moment, then he will definitely be able to see this magical scene that will be absolutely unforgettable for a lifetime: the lotus flowers in the city seem to be conscious, gradually blooming and moving from the periphery to the inside, advancing layer by layer, just like a bewitching lotus flower retracting from the outside to the inside, and finally concentrating on the most central point......

There, in the center of the gazebo with light veils hanging on all sides, on the white jade bed, a little girl with a pale face was sleeping unconsciously, and in the center of her forehead, a crimson lotus-shaped mark was like a lotus flower in full bloom in Huzhou City at the moment.

The red lotus in full bloom was as dazzling as a flame, and after only a few moments, it disappeared, as if the previous qiē was just an illusion of others.

Without warning, the sleeping little girl silently opened her closed eyes.
