246. Overboard
Zhou Yunxi saw Chu Ci again three days later, the sun was shining that day, Qin Fengyi rarely had time to take her to visit the capital, and then went on a painting boat to tour the lake.
And it was in such a beautiful scenery that Zhou Yunxi saw Chu Ci on another painting boat.
"Why is the third prince here?"
Zhou Yunxi adheres to the good habit of 'asking if you don't understand', and if she can't figure it out at this time, she asks Qin Fengyi directly. She didn't think that Chu Ci was the kind of person who would have fun when she was free, unless she wanted otherwise.
After all, Chu Ci's image as a gentleman is just a disguise, and his nature is not like that.
"Watching the drama is, don't worry about the rest."
The corners of Qin Fengyi's lips were slightly hooked, and the pleasure in his eyes was obviously very good. This made Zhou Yunxi slightly surprised in his heart, and his intuition was that Qin Fengyi had calculated Chu Ci.
As for how to calculate and what to calculate, Zhou Yunxi didn't know.
"Do you remember that Lord Liu came to talk about kissing before?" Qin Fengyi knew what Zhou Yunxi was pondering, so at this time, he whispered in Zhou Yunxi's ear, and when he looked at it from a distance, it seemed to be torn in his ear, "I handed over this matter to Chu Ci, and today is the time for him to make a move." ”
"Shot?" Zhou Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a thought flashed in his mind, "Could it be that the emperor had to agree to Miss Liu's marriage with the third prince?" ”
"Clever."
Qin Fengyi smiled and raised his eyes to stare at the painting boat where Chu Ci was.
Seeing Qin Fengyi like this, Zhou Yunxi didn't say anything more, and looked at Qin Fengyi's eyes. Zhou Yunxi has always been willing to watch this drama.
"Ahh
Just then, a scream rang out. The voice sounded very familiar, making Zhou Yunxi suddenly look in the direction where the voice came from.
"Miss Liu?!"
As soon as Zhou Yunxi turned his head, he heard a 'plop' sound, and watched Liu Yue fall into the water! The splashes stirred up were not small, and Liu Yue's clothes also floated and fell with the current, and the whole person kept fluttering in the water.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunxi's heart suddenly understood. But like this, Liu Yue really won't be in danger? And Liu Yue suddenly fell into the water, so it really won't make people suspicious?
Before Zhou Yunxi could figure it out, Chu Ci had already jumped into the water and pulled Liu Yue back, but after a while, he saw Chu Ci taking Liu Yue back to the painting boat.
But at this time, the two of them were already soaking wet, and they looked extremely embarrassed.
"What's the use of falling overboard?" Zhou Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, as if he couldn't figure it out, "Besides, if Miss Liu suddenly falls into the water, the emperor won't be suspicious?" ”
"Did you see the woman in the pink dress on the boat?" Qin Fengyi said softly, pulling Zhou Yunxi into his painting boat, covering up his and Zhou Yunxi's figures, "That's the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the second prince of Xinyue, and wants to be the second princess." ”
"So what?" Zhou Yunxi was puzzled, "Miss Liu doesn't have any thoughts about the second prince, she just wants to start, and she shouldn't do anything to Miss Liu, right?" ”
"What if Liu Yue shows admiration for the second prince?" Qin Fengyi smiled, "The daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is knowledgeable on the surface, but in fact she is a jealous woman. ”
"But everyone knows that Miss Liu has a crush on you." Zhou Yunxi snorted lightly, and looked at Qin Fengyi's eyes with more ridicule. Beautiful book bar
Her meaning is obvious, there are not a few people who know that Liu Yue is fond of Qin Fengyi, so even if the daughter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu attacks Liu Yue for that reason, how credible is it?
In this way, it is inevitable that people will think about it a lot.
"A woman's handkerchief has always been a personal thing, and now Miss Liu's handkerchief can be on the body of the second prince." Qin Fengyi smiled, "The emperor has always been suspicious, since these objects are on the second prince's body, do you say he believes it or not?" ”
"Ruthless enough."
Zhou Yunxi was speechless, and it took a while to spit out such a word.
Yes, Qin Fengyi and Chu Ci's calculations are ruthless enough, that is, Zhou Yunxi has not received the education of this era, and they also know how important women's handkerchiefs are to them.
Previously, Zhou Yunxi was still entangled by the landlord in the town because of a handkerchief, and this time Liu Yue, as the daughter of the secretary of the Ministry of War, naturally could not ignore the handkerchief.
"It's Miss Liu who is ruthless enough." Qin Fengyi said with admiration, "Do you know that the method of the handkerchief was thought up by Miss Liu." ”
"The second prince she gave it personally?!"
Zhou Yunxi could only think of this possibility, after all, if the second prince refused to admit it after the matter was revealed, it would not be good for Chu Ci, and the only way to make Chu Ci an 'innocent' was that the second prince really thought that Liu Yue was happy with him.
"It is said that it is a token of love, and after convincing Lord Liu, let the second prince go to ask for marriage." Qin Fengyi shook his head as he spoke, "In order to make the second prince sure that she really loves him, Miss Liu's handkerchief also embroidered sentences like 'mountains have trees and trees have branches'. ”
"So you believe it?"
"Of course."
It was so simple, Zhou Yunxi was stunned.
But Zhou Yunxi forgot how important personal things are to a woman. Liu Yue handed over the handkerchief he made to the second prince, and the second prince would definitely believe it.
What's more, the matter of falling into the water is not over here, and the development after that is the stage that makes the second prince and the emperor really believe! After that, I watched Miss Liu's performance.
"I'm afraid that the young lady of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu will also intervene in the future, right?" Zhou Yunxi thought for a while, and recalled that the young lady Qin Fengyi said was jealous, "Will you desperately ruin Miss Liu's reputation?" ”
"There's a lot of hype." Qin Fengyi nodded, "At that time, in order to keep the royal reputation from being damaged and Miss Liu's reputation not being damaged, it can only be said that Miss Liu and the third prince are in love, and the emperor can only make this marriage in order to keep Lord Liu from holding grudges, and he has to do it in a big way." ”
Qin Fengyi's words made Zhou Yunxi's face change again and again, and at this time, she finally remembered how much importance was attached to women's reputation in this era.
This time, Liu Yue fell into the water and was rescued by the third prince Chu Ci, which was a loss of honor. If Chu quits and doesn't marry, she won't be able to get married. Even if you get married, you will be looked down upon.
In other words, if she is rescued by a man after falling into the water, and she can't marry that man, then she might as well drown in the water.
"Master, the three princes, they're gone." When Ling Xiao came over, he was holding a letter in his hand, "This is the letter entrusted to you by the personal guards of the third prince." ”
Qin Fengyi was not surprised to hear Ling Xiao's words, he only reached out to take the letter, pulled out the letter, and slowly unfolded it. As for Zhou Yunxi, he also leaned over and looked at the letter together.
At the end, I heard Zhou Yunxi smack his tongue and said, "It seems that Chu Ci is more ruthless than Miss Liu." ”
