Liu Yingshuang's idea was also fresh and interesting, and the girls were also aroused, talking babblingly, and they were all full of energy.

Neither Yeluchen nor the other girls had any objections, and the drumming and passing the flowers began.

The girls formed a circle, and after that, the green-clothed maid blindfolded herself with a handkerchief under the instruction of Liu Yingshuang, and struck the flower drum with a mallet.

With the clear rhythm of the drumming, Liu Yingshuang quickly handed the embroidery ball in her hand to a girl in blue clothes beside her, and the girl seemed to have a hot potato, and was so shocked that it was immediately passed to the girl in purple on the right hand, and then to the next girl

"Knock Knock"

The drums thundered in everyone's ears, and even their hearts seemed to beat to its rhythm.

The hydrangea flew around like a winged sparrow in the slender hands of the girls, and the girls' eyes chased it, and their hearts were a little up and down.

Liu Yingshuang's eyes were also staring at the hydrangea flower, and seeing the hydrangea ball thrown out of Duanmujun's hand, she quietly kicked back the cuiyi maid behind her.

Then, the drumming stopped suddenly, the corners of Liu Yingshuang's lips hooked slightly proudly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

There was a dead silence all around.

"Rustle"

Only the oncoming lake breeze blew the girls' dresses and hunted.

The girls on the deck looked in the same direction, and saw the hydrangea fall into the hands of a girl in a scarlet dress.

"Fourth Duanmu girl, please." Liu Yingshuang smiled and looked at Duanmu Fei, who was holding a hydrangea in both hands, stretched out her hand to make an invitation, and motioned for Duanmu Fei to be the first to start painting.

Duanmu smiled, casually handed the hydrangea in his hand to a pink-clothed palace maid on the side, and slowly walked towards the mahogany painting on the bow of the boat, his eyes flashing slightly.

From Liu Yingshuang's proposal to Ye Luchen to paint, to her inexplicably proposing the idea of beating drums and passing flowers, Liu Yingshuang was full of things wrong when she spoke and acted.

She wants to see what tricks Liu Yingshuang is playing when she jumps up and down like this?!

Duanmu walked forward unhurriedly, his eyes swept around the painting in front of him without a trace, and then stopped on the deck in front of the painting.

In the bright sunlight, there was a faint sheen from the side of the railing to the deck in front of the painting, as if porcelain had been glazed.

Interesting.

The corners of Duanmufei's mouth pursed out an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the steps under his feet slowed down, and he heard Liu Yingshuang's impatient urging voice from behind: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, hurry up and draw, everyone is waiting for you!" ”

Duanmu turned around with a smile, showed an innocent and lovely smile to Liu Yingshuang, and said, "Miss Liu, I just suddenly thought that I was the first, so who should be behind me?" It's also troublesome to always beat the drum and pass the flowers, so why not let the former person designate the next painter? ”

Before Liu Yingshuang could speak, the girl smiled and stroked her palms and said, "Duanmu Fourth Girl, this is a good idea!" ”

The girl Li beside her also responded, and the other girls looked at each other and praised each other.

Liu Yingshuang was anxious to let Duanmu go over, so she also smiled and said, "Then according to what the fourth girl of Duanmu said, the girl please." She stared at Duanmu Fei with burning eyes and urged again.

Duanmu smiled, turned around and continued to walk in the direction of the painting, unhurried, elegant like a weak willow, like a bamboo.

Liu Yingshuang looked at Duanmufei's back without blinking, almost holding her breath, the corners of her mouth were weirdly slightly curled, and she counted silently in her heart:

One, two, thirty-nine, ten

Seeing Duanmu Fei walking smoothly in front of the mahogany carved painting, Liu Yingshuang froze as if struck by lightning, her eyes straightened.

How is this possible?!

Duanmufei walked over so smoothly, he obviously let people pour oil there, how could Duanmufei not slip? !

Liu Yingshuang frowned, staring gloomily at Duanmufei's every move.

Duanmu Fei could also feel Liu Yingshuang's gaze behind her as if she was going to pierce her, but she didn't care, she looked around at the shore with a crooked little face, and then looked down at the paper spread on the painting case.

This is rice paper, and it is Shengxuan, Shengxuan is easy to seep and smudge, and it is most suitable for freehand painting.

The corners of Duanmu's lips hooked, and he already had a belly case in his heart.

She picked up the sheep's hair pen on the side, dipped it in ink, and drew it with confidence.

The pen is swaying, and the pen is like a god.

The golden sunlight gilded her with a dreamlike halo, and her little face looked as delicate and flawless as mutton fat white jade, like a jade doll.

While she was painting, the girls in the back were also talking to their friends, some were curious about what Duanmufei was drawing, some were discussing what they should draw behind, and some were muttering that they were not good at drawing

Without a cup of tea, Duanmu Fei put away the pen and looked down at the rice paper in front of him.

The paper, which was originally as white as snow, has been dyed with deep and shallow ink at this moment, and the ink color is flying, the shades are staggered, black and shiny, and the light is visible.

Because she wanted to draw together, she didn't draw much, but only put pen to paper on the left side of the rice paper, and drew two rows of willow trees from near and far.

One row on the shore, one row underwater, the willow color on the shore is dark, the willow color under the water is light, the willow branches dance with the wind, the upper and lower rows of willows are symmetrical to each other, and it seems that you can faintly glimpse the beautiful light and shadow of the water waves from the underwater willows.

"It may not be that the wicker can be dipped in water, but the willow shadow in the water will lead him to grow." Miss Li looked at the painting on the case, blurted out a word of praise, and her eyes were full of admiration.

Miss Yu frowned, and said with a bitter face: "Sister Li, the fourth girl of Duanmu is also so good at drawing, I don't dare to draw down!" ”

As soon as she said this, the faces of the other girls were also a little subtle, as if they had been said to be in their hearts.

Duanmu Scarlet, these two rows of willow trees are so wonderful!

The branches are strong, the willow branches are soft, the two set off each other, it can be said that the rigidity and softness are used together, and the composition is far and near, and the movement and stillness are combined, only this seemingly simple two rows of willow trees, this painting has been rich in layers, with its own style and bones.

The next person, if the painting skills are a little worse, there will be a suspicion of adding to the snake.

The atmosphere around was a little strange, and the girls were all frowning slightly, and most of them remembered the same question in their hearts, if the second person to paint was themselves, then what should they paint?!

Duanmu Fei didn't seem to feel the strange atmosphere around him, and casually put the sheep's hair pen in his hand on the white porcelain pen on the side, and then turned around and walked back under the burning eyes of everyone.

She wore a scarlet butterfly wearing a hibiscus flower riding costume today, the jet-black green silk combed into a pair of lovely double snail buns, wearing a vivid hibiscus silk flower, dressed simple but beautiful and generous, a brightly colored dress lined her eyebrows picturesque, delicate as jade.

The autumn wind was blowing slowly, blowing her skirt to fly, and the colorful butterflies on the dress seemed to come to life, spreading their wings and flying and playing on her skirt.

Her posture is dignified, her steps are steady, and she is as elegant as an orchid, as if she has stepped down from a picture of a lady.

Liu Yingshuang's brows became tighter and tighter, and her gaze moved down to Duanmu Fei's feet, her face sinking like water.

The laughter of the girls around her had long since disappeared from her ears.

Duanmu Fei was smiling and groaning from beginning to end, impartial, unhurried, and walked back with steady steps.

Liu Yingshuang was even more annoyed in her heart, turned her head to look at the cuiyi maid beside her, and scolded with her eyes, what are you doing?! Did those minions mistake the water wine and rice vinegar for oil and splash it on the deck?

The maid in green clothes lowered her head a little crampedly, panicked. She gave the silver, and the people also promised to do things for the girl, but she didn't expect the other party to be so unreliable! I knew she should have checked it herself.

When the master and servant looked at each other, Duanmu Fei had already walked up to Liu Yingshuang and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, the next one will be painted by the girl." ”

Liu Yingshuang raised her eyes to meet Duanmu Fei's big black eyes, the other party's delicate and small chin was slightly raised, and there was a trace of stubbornness and provocation in her pupils.

The bright eyes seemed to say silently, you dare to accept the challenge!

Liu Yingshuang did not evade and looked at Duanmu Fei, her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were also taught by her uncle Wei Yongxin specially invited a female gentleman to the mansion, and it was not bad compared to those famous and noble girls.

Duanmu Fei wants her to make a fool of herself in public, but it's not that easy!

Liu Yingshuang pursed her lips disdainfully, walked past Duanmu Fei's side with her head held high, and walked towards the painting case in front of her.

Duanmu Fei walked towards Duanmu without looking at her, and Miss Yu came over and said with a begging expression: "Fourth girl Duanmu, your willow painting is so good, I can't think of anything else to paint?" I always feel that painting flowers and trees is a bit cheesy, painting lakes and water is a little natural, and painting pavilions and terraces"

The more Miss Yu spoke, the more strange the faces of the other girls around her, and when Miss Yu said so, then they could not draw flowers, trees, lakes and pavilions.

Miss Li beside Miss Yu couldn't help but hold her forehead, and was about to interrupt Miss Yu with a voice, when a gasp and low shouts suddenly sounded around her, one after another.

"Girl!" The green-clothed maid let out her voice and screamed in shock.

In the midst of the commotion, I saw Liu Yingshuang in front of her slipping under her feet, losing her balance and falling towards the railing in front of her

Liu Yingshuang's left hand shook in mid-air, trying to grab the mahogany painting case on the side, but in vain, the fingertips stained with impatiens juice fell into the air just more than an inch away from the painting case, and her body kept falling forward

The railing in front of her was getting closer and closer to her

How so?!

Liu Yingshuang thought in disbelief, isn't there no oil splashing on this deck?! Wasn't Duanmu Shuang steady when he walked through here just now?!

"Click!"

Her right hand grabbed the railing in front of her, but almost in the next moment, the railing snapped and fell in the direction of the lake with Liu Yingshuang

The sparkling water of the lake was infinitely magnified in front of Liu Yingshuang's eyes, and she could clearly see the circles of water, the frightened fish underwater, and her own frightened face.

A hoarse scream erupted from her throat.

"Plop!"

Liu Yingshuang screamed and fell straight into the lake, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the lake splashed high on the surface of the water, splashing on the deck, making the deck wet for a large extent.

The painting boat instantly became a pot of porridge.

Duanmu Fei looked at the broken railing and the oily light on the deck, and the corners of his mouth made a shallow arc at an angle that others couldn't see.

Although there was some oil on the deck at the bow, since she had been on guard, it was not a problem at all.

She was born in the Chu family, the Chu family has been the hairpin family since the previous dynasty, in the Dasheng Dynasty, the clogs were used as rain boots, but before the previous dynasty and before that, it was the Wei and Jin Dynasty that prevailed with wide robes and big sleeves and stepping on clogs.

Since the daughter of the Chu family learned to walk, she had to learn all kinds of etiquette, standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, walking like the wind, even if she was walking in high-toothed clogs, she could easily walk on the ground, quietly, and as steady as Mount Tai, not to mention some oil stains on the floor.

When Duanmu Fei found out that someone had splashed oil on the deck just now, he guessed that Liu Yingshuang had gone to such great lengths, not only to let herself fall in front of the public, but also to make a move.

However, for Duanmufei, it doesn't matter what tricks the other party has, it will definitely not be him who will be unlucky anyway.

Duanmu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into two lines, like a cunning little fox, quietly pulled Duanmu's sleeve, then pointed to the shiny deck, and winked meaningfully at Duanmujun.

Duanmujun is also a smart person, and he understood it at once, and his eyes gradually deepened.

"Help! Help"

Liu Yingshuang's frightened screams came from the lake, and the green-clothed maid trotted towards the place where she fell into the water, shouting "girl", "Go into the water to save my girl", "My girl can't swim" Yunyun's words, the sharp sound almost pierced people's eardrums.

The surroundings were even more chaotic, those girls looked at each other, surprised, suspicious, worried, and sighed, thinking that Liu Yingshuang was too unlucky, most of them looked at the direction of the broken railing with a nervous expression, and only Yeluchen frowned, thinking in disgust: It's really useless!

"Quick, get into the water and save people." Wei Ruxian said to several palace maids and mothers-in-law with a gloomy face.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the green-clothed maid slip under her feet, and she also screamed and lost her balance, and fell on the deck.

A woman in Tsing Yi on the side looked at it fixedly, saw a clue, and said in a loud voice: "Oil has been sprinkled here, the ground is slippery, everyone be careful!" ”

This sentence was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, and the girls all fried the pan and whispered with different expressions. How did this deck suddenly get oiled?!

In the midst of the riot, a mother-in-law who knew how to water jumped into the water and splashed a large splash.

There was a lot of noise all around, and the private discussions of everyone, the cries of the maids, and the paddling of the mother-in-law were intertwined.

"It's coming! Got someone! ”

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, the mother-in-law who went into the water lifted the wet Liu Yingshuang up from the lake, and the other two mothers-in-law on the deck hurriedly answered.

Liu Yingshuang's eyes were closed, her breath was weak, and her face was so white that there was hardly a trace of blood, as if she was unconscious.

"Tick, tick, tick"

Her hair was already messy, and the soaked strands stuck to her face, dripping down continuously.

The goose-yellow riding uniform was also soaked by the lake, and the clothes were wet and wrapped around her delicate and delicate body, and the curves were exposed, and in the embarrassment, there was a hint of charming style, which made the few forbidden soldiers accompanying on the deck almost look straight.

A mother-in-law turned her over and slapped her on the back several times with her thick palm.

"Ahem!"

Liu Yingshuang, who was unconscious, coughed up mouthfuls of lake water again and again, and collapsed on her mother-in-law's body like mud.

"Girl! Girl! The green-clothed maid was still screaming hysterically, for fear that Liu Yingshuang would have a chance.

Many of the girls looked away, their expressions complicated. This Liu Yingshuang has been looked down on, even if he has Wei Yongxin's face, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a good family!

"Quick, get the cloak!" Wei Ruxian hurriedly instructed the palace maid again, and then someone belatedly brought a lilac-colored cloak and wrapped it for Liu Yingshuang.

"Ahem" Liu Yingshuang is still coughing water constantly, still unconscious.

Duanmu smiled and watched the excitement on the side for a while, and felt that it was almost time for him to appear on his own, so he said in time: "I just heard that there is oil on the deck, what is going on?" ”

With one sentence, she immediately attracted everyone's attention from Liu Yingshuang's side to her.

Duanmu Jun tacitly said: "Zhen Zhen, you were the first person to paint just now, if you are not careful, wouldn't it be you who fell into the water?!" ”

Duanmu Fei cooperated with a pair of big eyes, patted his chest with some fear, and then looked at Ye Luchen, who was sitting on a Taishi chair not far away, and said, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you have to call the shots for me!" ”

Duanmu Fei looked at Ye Luchen with a somewhat stiff face with an aggrieved expression.

Just now, she stepped forward to paint empty-handed, and everyone in the audience could see it, so naturally she didn't splash this oil on the deck, so who was the one who poured the oil?!

Ye Luchen, as the imperial concubine, is the highest status here, so naturally she has to be the master to find out the truth and give the victim an explanation and justice!

This is a matter of course.

Those girls also nodded slightly sympatheticly, putting themselves in their shoes, if Liu Yingshuang hadn't slipped just now, then the next person to come forward to paint might be herself, and the person who fell into the water might be herself!

As long as they thought of this possibility, and then looked at Liu Yingshuang's weak and embarrassed appearance, the girls were shocked, and everyone was in a commotion again, and there was a sense of crisis in their hearts.

Ye Luchen almost changed his face, but he still pressed it, and his right hand pressed the handrail on the side slightly, and he became more and more disgusted with Liu Yingshuang in his heart: he bothered to arrange such a good opportunity for her, but as a result, Duanmufei was fine, but this Liu Yingshuang fell into the lake by herself.

It's just stupid!

"Fourth Miss Duanmu," on the surface, Ye Luchen looked graceful and noble, and said calmly and calmly, "Don't worry, this palace will make the decision for you and Miss Liu, and send someone to find out." ”

She secretly rejoiced in her heart: fortunately, she was cautious and smart enough, and she didn't make a move in this whole thing, no matter how much she investigated, she just found out Liu Yingshuang, and she had nothing to do with herself.

When the cuiyi maid heard this, her body suddenly trembled like a fallen leaf, it was she who bribed the palace maid with silver, if she was found

However, in this situation, there was no place for her to speak at all, and she could only call nervously: "Girl! Girl: "Only when the girl wakes up can she excuse herself from preventing the imperial concubine from investigating this matter."

She was more and more high-spirited and sadder than the other, and she was really sad for those who heard it and moved for those who saw it.

Many girls sighed in their hearts: I am really a loyal servant.

Ye Luchen roughly knew what was going on, and hooked the corners of his lips with a smile, at this time, Baoyin took two steps forward and walked to Ye Luchen's side, and whispered in his ear: "Niangniang, the time is almost up, isn't it?"

A fine light flashed under Ye Luchen's eyes, and he said calmly: "Miss Liu's clothes are wet, and it's cold, so let's go back to the shore and let the imperial doctor take a look, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Baoyin agreed, and pointed to a water pavilion on the shore and said, "Niangniang, just let Miss Liu go to Qiushui Pavilion to change her clothes." ”

At this point, the other girls were not in the mood to swim in the lake anymore, and the painting boat immediately headed in the direction of Qiushui Pavilion.

After the painting boat docked, there was a rush of busyness, some young waiters hurriedly ran to ask for a doctor, and someone used a sedan chair to carry the unconscious Liu Yingshuang down, and other girls also got off the boat one after another.

The girls were talking in twos and threes, with different faces and some surprises.

Ye Luchen's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "Let's go to the Qiushui Pavilion with the palace first." Then he instructed Bao Yin, "You are here to thoroughly investigate the oil splashing on the deck, and if you have the result, come to the palace immediately." ”

"Yes, sissy." Baoyin bent his knees to accept the order and exchanged a tacit look with Yeluchen.

Then, Bao Yin returned to the painting boat, and the other girls hugged Yeluchen in the direction of Qiushui Pavilion.

The sun began to set in the west, dyeing the clouds of the western sky orange, like flames, like brocade, and the autumn wind blew in the face, blowing the swaying willow branches around as if whispering.

Duanmu Fei followed behind with light steps, and Miss Yu walked beside her and quietly tugged at her sleeve.

Duanmufei turned her head to look at her, the little girl smiled at her obediently, and then rolled the rice paper in her other hand into a cylinder to Duanmufei, and said with a lip shape, can this painting be given to me?

Miss Yu looked at Duanmu Fei expectantly.

The chickens flew and the dogs jumped just now, Duanmu Fei almost forgot about this painting, and after being stunned, he nodded.

Miss Yu was happy, with a small look of "fortunately I grabbed it quickly", and said happily: "I'll frame it when I go back" Saying, Miss Yu seemed to think of something, and asked curiously, "Fourth Miss Duanmu, you haven't answered me what to paint next on this painting?" ”

Duanmu was stunned and smiled mysteriously.

Miss Li also heard it, and came over to listen curiously, and Duanmu Jun also pricked up her ears when she heard the words.

Duanmu paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It is the joy of fish to swim calmly." ”

Draw fish?! Miss Yu's eyes lit up, and she stroked her palms and said, "Wonderful! ”

At this moment, there was a "squeak" sound, and the sound of pushing the door came from the front.

Duanmu Fei was talking to Miss Yu with his head sideways, and he didn't care about it, but the atmosphere around him suddenly became very strange, and several girls on the side seemed to gasp and be stunned

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince," someone blurted out.

Feeling the subtlety of the atmosphere, Duanmu Fei subconsciously looked forward.

Although there were seven or eight girls blocking in front of her, she still saw from the gap between the heads of people that there were already two people in the water pavilion in front of her, a man and a woman, both of whom were young and young.

The young man was wearing an orange-yellow prince python robe, it was the second prince Mu Youchang, and the girl was wearing a willow yellow chrysanthemum carved silk gown, the man was handsome, and the woman was pretty.

The two were hugging each other affectionately, and the girl's cheeks were buried in the boy's chest, lingering, like a pair of golden boys and girls.

For a moment, there was silence all around, as if all the sounds had been sucked out.

The second prince Mu Youchang actually had a private meeting with a girl here, isn't this a private meeting?!

There was silence for a moment, and only the sound of everyone's clothes rubbing against each other remained.

"Then that seems to be Miss Chu San?!"

Then, another female voice whispered to a girl beside her, and although it was quiet, everyone else around heard it.

Most of the faces of the girl in the water pavilion in front of her were buried in the chest of the second prince, but from her familiar dress and the small half of her side face, many people still recognized that the girl was clearly Chu Qingyu, the third girl of the Chu family.
