Chapter 41: Picking

Seeing her little daughter's appearance, she smiled heartily with the king of the county. The originally lazy look became a little serious-

He wanted to catch a beautiful fish and give it to this little girl who wanted and dared to say it.

The prince smiled, and Roman's face turned even redder.

Seen through?

Roman felt like he was about to burn.

It won't go on like this. Roman immediately got up, walked to the edge of the terrace, and grabbed the railing to reach and leaf. I finally reached it, and remembered that it was not my own, so I turned around and asked the prince carefully: "Can I pick it?" ”

The prince nodded: "You can pick it!" ”

Originally, she was going to pick lotus leaves, but she really held them in her hand, and she didn't want to pick them.

Because the water droplets on the lotus leaves are really interesting, they will roll in line when they move, and then they will roll over in line when they move. Seeing that they all rolled to the lowest point, the people were still very reluctant to merge, and when they rolled, they were redivided into countless small water droplets.

When I was a child, I copied Buddhist scriptures, and when I grew up, I was a slave in the palace, and no matter how old I was, I was either a side concubine or a queen mother, and I never played like this.

Roman found it interesting.

So, she hung out of the guardrail with one hand, grasped the lotus leaf stalk with the other, and played with the water droplets on the lotus leaf back and forth - one moment to line them up, one moment to make them in a circle, one moment to form them into large droplets, and one moment to divide them into countless pieces.

Sometimes I don't use enough force to play with it, and I even pour water from other lotus leaves, and continue to play.

was originally concentrating on fishing, but was later attracted by Roman's foolish play: "...... It seems like...... Interesting? ”

Pressing the urge to go over and play together, he raised his eyes and looked at the floating water mark. The fish still hasn't been hooked, but it doesn't seem to matter if it's not hooked.

The girl's mind was obviously not on the fish.

A little thirsty, the prince was ready to serve the tea.

Roman, who was having a good time, saw it, pretended to have had enough, straightened up and picked up the two cups of tea on the tea table: "Does the prince want to drink?" ”

and the king of the county Xijing, rarely let the slaves serve around him. Usually by his side, there is only Jin Gui on the bright side. Serving tea, he mostly comes by himself.

Roman moved naturally, he didn't think much about it, just nodded and said, "Drink." Before he was about to say that he didn't want Jasmine's lamp, Roman had already handed him the teacup - it was the old gentleman's eyebrows he liked.

There was a slight difference in the heart of the king of the county: this little girl seems to have put some effort into pleasing him.

But how did he find out about his preferences?

Chen Mo?

He took another sip of tea with the king of the county, and wanted to put the tea cup back.

Roman still took it doggedly, and smiled innocently and brightly at him in the middle: "If the prince wants anything, call me directly, I have nothing to do anyway." ”

He Junwang glanced at her with a smirk, and sat back in his rocking chair looking at the fishing rod.

Roman was about to turn around and play with the water droplets, and felt that the sun was a little sunny. So he decisively picked off a lotus leaf and put it on his head at will. Before going up, she hesitated: Would a lady like Zhou Mei do such a thing?

In her previous life, she had never seen Zhou Mei's top lotus leaf. But the ladies in the palace seem to have a lady with lotus leaves in the painting, and by the way, the fairies in the painting also have lotus leaves.

Play on top again, cool and playful. But she always felt that there was a gaze looking at her, and as soon as she turned around, she met the eyes of the prince who was playful with the county king.

She was a little embarrassed. But now take down the lotus leaf, isn't it a slap in the face?

If a person is stupid on the top of the terrace, and everyone is on top, then he can't show that he is stupid.

So, Roman pulled a lotus leaf again, walked to King Hejun with a smile, and said with a thoughtful smile: "Lord, you have sweat on the tip of your nose." ”

The prince stared warily at Roman's hand and the lotus leaf with the green petiole in her hand.

"It's not hot with this hat, really."

As soon as the words fell, the lotus leaf fell on the top of the head of King Hejun. He wanted to take it down, but Roman dared to pull him: "Don't take it down, I specially chose it for the prince." You see, your piece is bigger than mine, and it's more beautiful than mine. ”

Prince: "......"

I didn't take it down.

When Jin Gui, who was playing chess with Luo Tingchen, saw it, as soon as he let go of his hand, the chess fell into the wrong position. Following Jin Gui's gaze, Luo Tingchen also looked over.

So, they all saw the big lotus leaf on the prince's head, and smiled doting at Roman, who also had a big lotus leaf on his head.

That smile, like the spring breeze turning snow, colorful the whole flower season.

"Manman is naughty again, and it's so likable." Luo Tingchen didn't take it seriously, and continued to play chess with Jin Gui - Manman is the most likable girl in the world, isn't it the most normal thing for the prince to follow her?

Jin Gui knew that in Luo Tingchen's eyes, Roman was the best in the world.

Roman grabbed the prince's hand and was dazzled by his smile. As a result, sweetness spreads from the heart to the whole body, and the beating heart is noisy with happiness and satisfaction.

"The fish is hooked."

Afraid that his happiness would scare the prince, Roman no longer dared to look at his smiling eyes. It happened that the buoy in the water sank, and Roman hurriedly let go of the prince and called him to retract the rod.

A brightly colored koi fish is pulled out of the water, and the sunlight shines on the scales of the fish in the air, and the whole fish resembles a glittering ruby.

He Jun Wang glanced at Roman childishly, and his eyes were full of pride: "It's caught." ”

He stopped Jin Gui, who was about to come over to unhook the hook, and took the fish off and put it in the bucket at his feet. The fish fluttered so hard that as soon as his hand slipped, the fish fell into the bucket and splashed Roman's head and face.

Before she could react, the koi fish in the bucket hit the water with its big tail again, and splashed out of the water angrily. Roman happened to squat in front, leaned back to avoid the splash, felt the lotus leaf on his head about to fall, and reached out to grab it. So, the center of gravity was unstable, and he sat on the ground.

Sadly, the water didn't dodge, and the water beads then pounced on her in the face. The eyelashes are still very well rolled down and dripping.

Roman: "......" people are fairies!

He Junwang: "...... "I just want to give you a fish......

Luo Tingchen wanted to come over, Jin Gui looked at his master holding back a smile, but he didn't dare to laugh, and forcibly pulled him: "It's just a little water droplet, play chess and play chess." ”

Luo Tingchen hesitated, and finally sat down again.

"Laugh if you want!" Seeing that the prince was smiling hard, Roman opened his mouth aggrievedly, and his mouth was flat and flat.

Seeing her embarrassed, the prince actually didn't want to laugh. But she pretended to be aggrieved and flattened, and didn't pretend to be pitiful, but she poked the prince's laughter.

So: "Haha, hahaha, hahahahaha......"

Roman stood on the side and watched him laugh, looked at it, and laughed too: It's good that he's happy, it's because I'm happy, and that's better.

found that the hem of the prince's clothes was also wet, and Roman wanted to squat down to wipe it for him. He Junwang took a step back and dodged her silk handkerchief: "You go and clean up yourself first, don't catch a cold." ”

As he spoke, King Hejun had already squatted down by himself, and the handkerchief wiped off the few drops of water on the hem of his clothes.

The maid led Roman to change the clothes, and when he came back, the table was already full.

Luo Tingchen waved his hand at his sister: "Sit here." ”

There was also an empty seat next to the king of the county, he looked at the side, and then at Roman, but he didn't speak.

But when Roman really sat next to Luo Tingchen, he seemed to be a little ...... Lose?

Roman looked at the dishes in front of him, and wanted to find an opportunity to pay tribute to the prince. After all, he doesn't eat coriander, he doesn't eat ginger, he likes fish and he doesn't like to pick thorns......

When she saw the plate of anchovies, her eyes lit up. was about to stretch out the chopsticks to clip it, but the prince had already taken away the piece she wanted to clip: "The bones of this fish are many and thin, and it is a little dangerous for you to eat them." ”

Roman wants to say that I want to help you pick thorns, and he doesn't have that thick skin to say. I had to turn my chopsticks to Longjing shrimp, and said with a clever smile: "Okay." ”

The prince also ignored her anymore, and asked Luo Tingchen while elegantly picking up the fish bones: "I heard that you haven't returned to the academy since the literary meeting?" ”

Luo Tingchen, who was carefully dismantling the fish bones and preparing to dismantle them, gave all the clean fish meat to his sister when he heard this, and hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I didn't go back to the academy, but I didn't dare to fall behind in my homework." ”

"This autumn, are you ready to play?"

It seemed like a small talk, but Luo Tingchen knew that the temptation had begun.

He didn't dare to take it lightly, and replied respectfully: "The master said that I have been able to study well recently, and if I don't count on the top three, it shouldn't be difficult to be promoted." I want to give it a try. ”

The prince said 'um', I wanted him not to be restrained, just talk while eating. But the wind swept to the fish on his plate, and swallowed the words back.

"At the last meeting, I admired your style and style. I thought that when you were lifted, I would send you to your side to practice. When the prince said this, he said to Luo Tingchen, but his eyes looked at Roman: "But I heard that you have reconciled with the Zhao family." In this case, I'm afraid I don't need to lift it up. ”

Since the prince said so, he was looking at his intentions. If he is modest and says that he is not qualified enough to come to the prince's side. Then this meal is just a simple meal.

Luo Tingchen made up his mind, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Being able to get the support of the prince is a kindness that Tingchen can't ask for in his lifetime." I also hope that the prince will give Ting Chen a chance, although Ting Chen is stupid, he is good at learning. When I go to the prince, I must redouble my efforts and be sincere. ”

This attitude is sincere, sincere.

Roman ate a piece of chopsticks and bamboo shoots, and muttered in a low voice: "How can my uncle have the majesty of a prince?" ”

Her voice was small, and the prince looked at her mouth, but he saw what she said true.

He couldn't smile bitterly: This girl is as snobbish as ever!

The corners of the king's mouth unconsciously bent, and he handed the fish meat with good thorns to Jin Gui and asked him to serve it to Roman. Then he said bluntly and unintentionally: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values the Zhao family very much, and you follow the Zhao family to the Prince, it is better than following me." ”

Luo Tingchen, who was holding his fists, wanted to kneel, Jin Gui looked at the prince's eyes, and quickly supported Luo Tingchen, not letting him kneel: "The prince invited you to dinner, because he used you as a friend." You just have to talk well, and you bow and kneel at the same time, which is too disappointing. ”

As he spoke, he pressed Luo Tingchen back into the chair again, and gave him a chopstick shrimp by the way.

Luo Tingchen was not hypocritical, and generously accepted the prince's kindness: "Compared with the prince, we are more willing to be close to the prince." ”

"You guys?"

This one of you naturally refers to the Zhao family. The prince handed an olive branch to the Zhao family, although the Zhao family did not answer, but he has done several things recently to show favor to the prince, obviously not wanting to offend the prince.

This style of dragging mud and water is very incompatible with the eyes of the county king-

You have clearly told people that you don't want to be with him anymore, and you have done everything possible to show goodwill, telling people that although I am not with you, I still respect you very much, and I am afraid of offending you.

This face is much more hypocritical than directly saying to others, 'I don't like you'.

In addition to hypocrisy, it also made King Hejun unable to see through the intentions of the Zhao family. Does he not want to join the prince, or does he not want to be called a princeling on the surface?

The difference between them can determine their attitude towards the Zhao family.

Luo Tingchen failed to find out the Zhao family's intentions yesterday, and today he originally wanted to be vague, but he didn't expect the prince to ask so directly. A little stuck on the spot -

If he affirmatively said that the Zhao family also wants to be closer to the prince, if the Zhao family doesn't mean this, how to deal with the aftermath? But if you say that the Zhao family doesn't mean that......

Manman said that his uncle would definitely not be with the prince. If the two roads of Jinghu were affected, it would be impossible for the uncle to work with the prince to block the relief of the King of Qin. In this way, it is inevitable that the Zhao family will offend the prince.

The prince holds a grudge. They must try their best to let the prince take revenge on the Zhao family, and the prince of the county can take action to protect the Zhao family.

This question can't be answered well, but I'm afraid that I will be disgusted by the Zhao family and the king of the county.
