Hongli and his party stayed in Sifang City for five days, and then left for the next place.

Wu Shulai looked at the sun above his head, and when he saw that it was noon, he signaled to stop the carriage, walked to the car where the emperor was sitting, bowed down and said, "Master, it's already noon." Why don't you take a break here? ”

A low voice came from the car: "It's okay." ”

Wu Shulai hurriedly ordered the carriage to stop, and then instructed the cook accompanying him in the imperial dining room to prepare food.

Su Yi and Qiu Ruo got out of the carriage, and when they saw that Qin Han and a few people from the imperial dining room were preparing to eat, they wanted to help, Qiu Ruo volunteered to fetch water, and Su Yi followed.

The sun shines brightly on the sparkling waters of the lake, which is so clear that you can faintly see small fish swaying at the bottom of the lake.

Su Yi carried the bucket and leaned over to scoop up most of the bucket of water, but saw a ten-inch-long small fish swimming in it at some point, and wanted to pour it into the lake at the moment. ”

Su Yi shook her head helplessly, then took Qiu Ruo's wooden bucket and scooped some water back, and as soon as she put the water down, she saw Wu Shulai coming over, and said urgently, "Where have you been?" Hurry up and pick up Xueyan's errand. ”

Su Yi hurriedly went to the Hongli car to wait. Seeing Xue Yan get out of the car, he took a look, and Su Yi asked for peace outside the car, then opened the jade bamboo curtain and walked in. Because it is a micro-service private patrol, everything is not very gorgeous.

The car Hongli sat in was a carriage with a vermilion carved gilt roof, the carriage did not look abnormal from the outside, but the things inside were excellent, the space in the car was very large, inside was a long soft couch, the couch was covered with scarlet mink felt, covered with a brocade quilt of rouge and feather satin, two steps away from the soft couch was a delicate and small kang table, an incense burner was placed on the table, and there were soft cushions on both sides, Su Yi saw that Hongli was squinting his eyes and lying on the soft couch and pretended to sleep and knelt lightly on the soft cushion, and suddenly heard a low sound," What are you doing on your knees? ”

Su Yi hurriedly looked at the emperor, seeing that he didn't open his eyes, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, hesitated and did not answer, Hongli sat up suddenly, Su Yi panicked and hurriedly got up, but his feet stumbled on the mat and fell forward, suddenly a hand blocked her chest and held her shoulder, Su Yi looked at the corner of the table when it was an inch away, and had palpitations, after half a ring, Fang came back to his senses and looked down to see the hand resting on his chest, only to feel red and red, embarrassed, and hurriedly retreated.

Hongli's hand was still stretched straight and kept that posture unmoved, he only dragged her slightly but felt that the warm fragrant nephrite, delicate and moist heart, reluctant to let go, at this time seeing her plain face red, ashamed and embarrassed, his heart suddenly jumped twice, embarrassed to put his hand on his lips and coughed dryly, and said softly: "I am a private patrol in micro-service, you don't have to be so restrained outside, these red tape can be avoided outside the palace." ”

Su Yi said softly, "Yes, thank you." ”

Hongli smiled and said, "I'm also panicking in the car, go out for a walk." Su Yi hurriedly turned around and got out of the car and lifted the curtain. The people waiting outside the car saw that the emperor was about to get out of the car and hurriedly helped him, but Hongli didn't pay anyone and just got out of the car lightly.

The sun was exceptionally good, and the leaves fell to the ground through the greenery, and Hongli saw that Qin and Han were grilling fish, and suddenly had a whim, and said, "Why is there only one fish?" How can we have enough of them? ”

Qiu Ruo and Qin Han looked at each other, this fish had inadvertently swam into the Suyi barrel, she was just greedy and asked Qin Han to help roast it, she didn't plan to share it with others, but at this time, she didn't know how to reply, Qin Han's face was also a little embarrassed, and when she was in a dilemma, Hongli suddenly said, "Jing Han, Shang Zuo, you accompany me to catch a few more!" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the lake, took off his shoes and threw them back, Wu Shulai quickly took them in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, you want to eat fish and let the minions catch it, why do you do it yourself?" ”

Hongli only smiled, waded into the water, and saw that Gu Yanzhao and Ji Huang were still there, and said, "Hurry down!" If you don't do it, you won't have any fish to eat later. ”

Gu Yanzhao and Ji Huang looked at each other for a while, then took off their shoes and went into the water, each holding a net pocket prepared by the imperial dining room and leaning over to catch the fish, although Su Yi didn't expect it to become like this, but now everyone is looking at the three people in the water, it is good to be able to look at him so blatantly.

The three of them turned back and forth in the water, but the first to catch the fish was Gu Yanzhao, Su Yi saw the small fish in his net pocket and immediately became happy, showing a happy smile, Gu Yanzhao looked at her smile gently, and also felt very happy, Hongli saw Su Yi's eyes shining at Gu Yanzhao's face sank slightly, and a strong sense of competitiveness suddenly surged up, and he caught several small fish in a row, Ji Huang had already noticed the change in the emperor, and quietly glanced at Gu Yanzhao, Gu Yanzhao was smart, and he didn't plan to win, I couldn't help but be a little overjoyed when I saw Su Yi's smile, and now I didn't dare to try to catch it when I saw the emperor's unhappy face, so I only caught a few vaguely, and the final result was naturally that the emperor caught the most fish.

The people who accompanied him also won the honor and became one of the few people in the Qing Dynasty who ate the fish caught by the emperor himself.

In the evening, the group rested on a small town called "Mingtang Town".

The town is not big, but there are begonias in front of every house, the flowers are fragrant, intoxicating, and I think it is also the origin of the name of Mingtang Town.

Since Hongli instructed to avoid red tape in the palace outside, everyone has been much more relaxed, they were originally cautious and indifferent, but now they are all familiar with each other and have become intimate.

After dinner, Hongli ordered everyone to rest early, but Su Yi was not tired, and wanted to go to the yard with Qiu Ruo, but he didn't see Qiu Ruo since dinner, Su Yi had to go for a walk in the yard alone, who would have thought that he would run into Xue Yan sitting alone in the yard.

Xue Yan was obviously a little surprised to see Su Yi, and said, "I thought you slept with Qiu Ruo." ”

Su Yi smiled, sat down on the stone bench, and said, "Why didn't you sleep?" ”

Xue Yan shook her head, "The fragrance of flowers here is too strong, I can't sleep." ”

Su Yi snorted and laughed, "I haven't heard of this theory, but some people will lose sleep because of the fragrance of flowers." ”

Xue Yan also smiled, "I've never seen you smile so happily, I always thought you wouldn't laugh." ”

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly, "How come?" It's just nothing to be happy about. ”

Xue Yan held Su Yi's hand and said softly, "There are many happy things in this world, but you haven't found it. There are many times when beautiful things are all around us, but we look for them in the distance, and naturally we can't find them. ”

Su Yi looked at her in a daze, thinking about the meaning of her words, but heard Xue Yan suddenly say, "The begonia flowers here are really blooming and beautiful." ”

Su Yi nodded, and Xue Yan said again, "What flowers do you like?" ”

"Orchids."

Xue Yan laughed and said, "The orchid is elegant and light, which suits your temperament." ”

Su Yi smiled lightly, inadvertently raised her eyes and smiled, but the smile froze on her lips.

A few zhang away is an arched door, at this time there are two tall men standing on the side of the door, one is wearing a plain green robe, handsome eyebrows, it is Gu Yanzhao. The moonlight slowly flowed down through the blooming weeping begonias and fell on him, and his face was hidden by the shadows of the trees, leaving only a pair of eyes as bright as stars, shining brightly.

Xue Yan noticed Su Yi's strange appearance and looked towards the arched door, saw Gu Yanzhao and Ji Huang, smiled, and then stood up and said, "It turned out to be two adults, and I have seen two adults." ”

Su Yi saw Xue Yan salute and also got up and saluted, Gu Yanzhao looked at Su Yi silently, Ji Huang took two steps closer, and said embarrassedly, "Two girls, don't be like this, we don't dare to be it, the master has said that these red tapes outside the palace can be avoided, and the girl doesn't want to make fun of us." ”

Xue Yan only smiled and said, "Ji Gongzi said that he laughed, no matter how you say that we are also maidservants, our identities are different, and the etiquette that should be observed should still be observed." ”

Ji Huang saw that Gu Yanzhao didn't say a word, and he didn't want to push anymore, so he only said, "Why do you have such leisure to enjoy the moon here?" ”

Xue Yan only looked at Su Yi and didn't reply, Su Yi had to say: "It's just sleepless, just sit here for a while." ”

"Do you always have trouble sleeping?" Gu Yanzhao asked suddenly, a little worried in his voice.

Su Yi lowered her eyes, and then said, "No, occasionally. ”

"Since everyone can't sleep, why don't we sit here for a while? How about a tea chat? Ji Huang saw that the court was full of begonias and the moonlight was like water, so he suddenly became interested and said with a smile.

Gu Yanzhao only looked at Su Yi, waiting for her answer. Su Yi saw that Xue Yan had no opinion, and nodded.

Ji Huang asked the shopkeeper to send the pot Longjing, and the four of them sat in the courtyard to drink tea to the moon, under the moon, in the courtyard, among the flowers, such a beautiful scenery really makes people forget their worries, Ji Huang suddenly thought that Gu Yanzhao's flute was blowing quite well, and said, "The pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the catkins pond has a faint breeze." With such a beautiful scenery, if you can be accompanied by a beautiful flute sound, you can live up to this gentle moonlight, Brother Jing Han, how about you play a song? ”

Gu Yanzhao looked at Su Yi, Su Yi lowered her head slightly, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, as if she didn't care, but the pinna of her ears obviously turned red, Gu Yanzhao was almost about to agree, but Xue Yan suddenly said, "The master is already resting, it will not be good if he wakes him up." ”

Ji Huang said disappointedly, "Also, alas, it's a pity that such a beautiful night." ”

Su Yi didn't say anything, because she had heard such a beautiful flute sound.

Gu Yanzhao smiled faintly, he knew that it was not a pity to have such a beautiful night, because he had her by his side.
