Chapter 52: Draining Water
Fenyang Palace, Allure Palace, north side hall.
The main hall is full of water vapor, and in the center there is a pool about five zhang long and two zhang wide, which is slowly steaming. The bottom of the pool is paved with white marble, and there are some pebbles to display the bottom of the pool, and the pool is about seven feet deep.
There was a man in the pool who was thrashing there, exclaiming, "No, no, no, help!" ”
Ruan Tingge stood by the pool, his voice pleasant with a smile, "Hold on a little longer." ”
It was Lin Yunxi who was in the pool, she was wearing a close-fitting coat, her forehead was full of water stains, her hair was wet and sticking to her cheeks and behind her ears, her face was flushed, and she was fluttering in the pool with panic, although there was no order, she could still float in the water.
She was tired of fluttering, and raised her head to look at Ruan Qingge standing by the pool pitifully, "I'm so tired, I want to go up." ”
"Want to come up? It's okay," Ruan Tingge raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "You swim to the edge of the pool by yourself, won't you be able to come up." ”
Lin Yunxi's hands and feet were still scribbling there, and she said with a sad face, "I've been swimming hard for a long time, but I'm still spinning in place, I'm really tired, help me up." ”
Seeing that Lin Yunxi really couldn't hold on, Ruan Qinge sighed, jumped into the pool, splashed a large splash, and splashed Lin Yunxi's face.
Lin Yunxi shook his head absently, and watched Ruan Tingge swim towards him.
When Ruan Tingge swam to her side, she leaned on Ruan Tingge's shoulder, panting and letting Ruan Tingge support her body to swim to the edge of the pool.
"Look at yourself, you've been learning water for more than half a month, why are you still so bad." Ruan Qingge pulled Lin Yunxi out of the pool and said angrily.
The maidservant girl on the side hurriedly brought a robe and wrapped it in the two of them.
Lin Yunxi lay on the edge of the pool wrapped in a robe without the slightest image, panting, and said breathlessly when he heard the words,
"You said it easily."
"It's just that you're too stupid," Ruan Tingge said unceremoniously, "Obviously you're not afraid of water, why are your hands and feet so uncoordinated in the water?" ”
Lin Yunxi lay lazily on the ground, didn't want to move at all, and said slowly, "I don't have the talent for this in the first place, and it's already good to learn not to sink in the water in half a month." ”
Ruan Tingge was used to her playing tricks and being arrogant, so he ignored her, and jumped into the pool again, swimming back and forth like a fish.
Lin Yunxi rested for a while, then sat up and watched Ruan Qingge swim freely in the water with some envy.
"Who taught you to water when you were a child?" She asked curiously.
Ruan Tingge's eyes darkened, and he replied, "It's my mother." ”
"Hmm..."Seeing the mention of Ruan Tingge's sadness, Lin Yunxi paused a little embarrassedly, "Tingge... You okay? ”
"It's all right," Ruan Tingge quickly returned to normal, and continued, "When I was two or three years old, my mother used to take me with me to soak in the water, so I was soon able to swim freely in the water. ”
"My mother is a very powerful person," Ruan Tingge misses a little, "When I was a child, I thought she was omnipotent, even more powerful than my father." ”
"It's a pity..."Ruan Qingge stopped and didn't continue.
Lin Yunxi comforted her at this time, "It is because Princess Fenyang is so powerful that she will give birth to such an excellent daughter as you, and she will be very pleased in the spirit of heaven." ”
Ruan Qingge let out a "hmm", plunged his head into the water, and swam into the distance.
Lin Yunxi pulled his wet hair to his ears, and looked at Ruan Tiange in the distance with a pair of worried eyes.
But after a while, seeing that Ruan Tiange didn't seem to be abnormal, she relaxed and began to get a little bored.
"I'm hungry," she said, touching her belly, and asked the maidservant beside her, "is it time for lunch?" ”
"If you go back to Miss Lin, there are still three quarters to noon." The handmaid replied.
Lin Yunxi turned his head and shouted at Ruan Tingge in the water, "Tingge, don't soak in the water, let's go eat." ”
Ruan Tingge had already swam back and forth in the pool several times at this time, his face was white and red, and his complexion was very good-looking.
"Remember to eat every day," Ruan Tingge stretched out his limbs and lay on the water very comfortably, "When will you learn to swim in the water?" ”
Lin Yunxi didn't want to talk about this topic, so he smiled, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and turned his head to ask the maidservant on the side, "I don't know what dishes are available for lunch today?" ”
The maidservant replied, "The county lord ordered the small kitchen to make some of Miss Lin's favorite dishes. ”
Lin Yunxi's eyes lit up, and he happily said to Ruan Tingge, "Tingge, I know that you are the best for me." ”
Ruan Qinge sighed with a smile, "Yunxi, Yunxi, if you don't think about what to eat one day, I will feel that the sun is coming out in the west." ”
She changed her tone suddenly, with some warning in her tone, "But don't pretend you didn't hear my previous question, when will you learn to drink water?" ”
"I must learn it by the end of this month!" Lin Yunxi stuck out his tongue, raised his hand and swore with a serious face.
She saw that Ruan Tiange was still staying in the pool, and urged, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, come out quickly." ”
"That's what you said, and if you don't do it then, you will be punished." Ruan Tingge smiled coldly, which made Lin Yunxi's heart a little furious.
Lin Yunxi stiffened his head and gave a positive response.
"Then you have to come over every day in the next few days," Ruan Tingge said as he came out of the pool and wiped the water droplets from his body, "It's good for you to learn sooner, isn't it?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Yunxi's mouth was flattened, and he was about to object, but when he saw Ruan Qinge's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he changed his words again, "Okay, okay, I'll come here all this time, okay." ”
She muttered softly, "Next year is younger than me, but she worries about it like my mother, and she still takes care of me..."
Ruan Qingge's ears moved slightly, and he heard Lin Yunxi's whispering.
She smiled, threw the robe in her hand, and walked quickly towards Lin Yunxi.
Lin Yunxi stared at her and walked over, but before she could react, she was caught.
Ruan Tingge firmly grabbed Lin Yunxi's arm, stretched out his hand to tickle her, and gritted his teeth and smiled gloomily, "Are you still teasing me in that row when I can't hear it?" ”
"Obviously how old is I, why can't I be more stable, and let me worry about you? Well? ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong," Lin Yunxi was most afraid of itching, and struggled with a grin, but found that Ruan Tingge was so strong that he couldn't break free, so he begged for mercy, "I won't say it, you have a lot of it, spare my life." ”
Ruan Tingge finally stopped, let go of her, glared at her and said, "Let's go, go take a shower and change clothes first, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Lin Yunxi was so itchy that her eyes burst into tears, she wiped the corners of her eyes aggrievedly, and walked out after Ruan Qinge.
