At the gate of Wutong Palace, none of the palace maids could move, their eyes widened quietly, and they held their sour hands that could no longer be sore, and continued to be sour.

Zhao Xiangling, who ran out, didn't go anywhere, squatting on the edge of the lotus pond in Wutong Palace, occasionally shrugging his shoulders, looking like he was crying.

Wutong Palace is a large palace built by the first emperor, after the Yangju Palace, it is not far from the Taihe Hall used as an early dynasty. Because it was built under the supervision of the emperor himself, Wutong Palace is also the largest and best of all palaces.

Pavilions, rockeries, corridors and small altars, all available. Even the lotus pond in the temple is very exquisitely built. Although it does not occupy a large area, there is a white jade bridge on which dragons and phoenixes are drawn, and the KitKat stones on the shore surround it for a whole week.

Zhao Xiangling squatted on the largest stone, and one step further was the lotus pond.

Li Ruiqing walked to her side, and as soon as he squatted down, he saw Zhao Xiangling turning his head and smiling at him.

The secret voice was not good, Li Ruiqing just took two steps back, and was kicked into the lotus pond.

It was none other than Zhao Xiangling who kicked him.

Pointing at Li Ruiqing, Zhao Xiangling laughed. She squatted here and waited for Li Ruiqing to throw herself into the net, but she didn't expect him to come so quickly.

What a surprise.

Seeing that Li Ruiqing, who had always been neat, had become a national teacher of Tang, Zhao Xiangling sat on the stone, tilted his head and looked at him and smiled.

Even if Li Ruiqing's temper is good, it is not good to choke on the water in this lotus pond twice. He suppressed his anger, and almost didn't roar: "Your Majesty! ”

"Hey." Zhao Xiangling replied hehehe, "Ruiqing, I want to eat the lotus pod there, you go and fold it." ”

Looking in the direction of her fingers, there are a few lotus pods in the middle of the lotus pond that are less than the size of a palm, which look fresh and tender, but in fact, most of them are empty and have not yet grown.

Li Ruiqing floated in the water, looked up at Zhao Xiangling's smiling face, raised his hand and rolled down a pool of water droplets. He rubbed his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, this is the reason why you kicked me down?" ”

"No one else will pick it for me." Suddenly, Zhao Xiangling put away his smiling face, lowered his head and said, "They will say, Your Majesty, the lotus pod is not ripe, if Your Majesty wants to eat the lotus pod, just tell the people below to go outside to find the best fold." ”

"Then, it will be half a month, and I will not offer the lotus canopy until I have almost forgotten about it."

Zhao Xiangling looked down at the most beautiful lotus pattern embroidered on his placket, and sighed softly.

The elder brother said that the freshest lotus pods were freshest, and there were droplets of water hanging on them, and the droplets were sweet, as sweet as lotus seeds. But the lotus pod I got in my hand had no drops of water, and there was no green skin on the outside, and they were all peeled off, white and tender, the same size, and the same shape, like cold pearls. ”

"Do you know...... Zhao Xiangling looked up and found that there was no longer Li Ruiqing in the same place.

At some point, he had turned around and was about to swim towards the lotus.

Li Ruiqing felt a little sad in his heart. He didn't know why he was uncomfortable, but since she wanted the lotus canopy there, he went and folded it for her.

Before he could figure out why, he heard a loud sound of water, and something grabbed him by the neck and dragged him back, almost causing him to sink into the pool and choke on a large mouthful of water.

Li Ruiqing clenched his fists, and finally resurfaced: "Zhao, Xiang, Zero!" ”

Zhao Xiangling hugged his neck: "What are you doing to call me?" ”

"What are you doing running down, go back to me!" Li Ruiqing's anger was almost uncontrollable.

Zhao Xiangling laughed in his ear: "I just feel that the feeling of being left behind is really bad, I am wrong, I don't know that water in my nose is so uncomfortable." ”

She raised her hand, rubbed her nose, pulled Li Ruiqing's hair by the way, and made the latter hiss.

She apologized like this, but it made Li Ruiqing lose his temper again.

Li Ruiqing suppressed his anger: "Accept your apology, and go up for me now!" ”

"Hey, don't shake it, I won't ...... I can't swim......." said, in order to verify his words, Zhao Xiangling spit a few bubbles in the water and drank a few sips of pool water with him.

Li Ruiqing immediately straightened out, not knowing whether he should be angry or laugh.

Zhao Xiangling grabbed his neck and poked his head out. As soon as she poked her head out, she regained her senses: "It's really strange, logically ......"

Turning his head to look at the shore, there was not a single attendant.

No wonder no one is shouting today, I see. Zhao Xiangling's dark pupils became deeper and deeper, she suddenly pinched Li Ruiqing's neck, put her head on his shoulder, and pointed to the lotus in front of her: "Ruiqing, I still want lotus roots, I heard that fresh lotus roots are delicious, you go and fold them." ”

Li Ruiqing was pinched and pushed like this, he was a little dizzy, he looked sideways at Zhao Xiangling's face full of water, and sighed softly.

With the weight of two people, he slowly swam towards the center of the lotus pond.

Zhao Xiangling couldn't swim and hugged his neck tightly, so he was very close to him. The clothes they wore in the summer were extremely thin, and they were almost useless when soaked in water.

Li Ruiqing could clearly feel the ups and downs of Zhao Xiangling's chest rubbing against him. The blood was swelling, and one did not steady, and he turned to the side. Zhao Xiangling's scream immediately came from his ears: "You, you, you swim steadily, I really can't swim......"

Gritting his teeth, Li Ruiqing swam right again: "Then you just hold it well, don't move!" ”

Zhao Xiangling's hand tugging at his belt really didn't move again.

Li Ruiqing breathed a sigh of relief and saw a lotus pod stained with water in front of him. He folded his hand.

Avoiding the thorns under the lotus stem, Li Ruiqing pinched the lotus pod and turned his head: "Look at this ......"

Behind him, empty, nothing.

No wonder she suddenly fell silent, it turned out that she was no longer behind her.

Li Ruiqing just wanted to reach out and break off a branch, but suddenly remembered, she can't swim, where can she go in the middle of this lotus pond?

"Your Majesty?" Li Ruiqing threw away the lotus canopy in his hand and wanted to swim to the shore. Could it be that someone picked her up?

Wrong! The palace maids are all at the gate of the palace, and there is no one here!

Oops!

Li Ruiqing secretly said that it was not good, and a fierce man plunged into the lotus pond, and found that the bottom of the pool was turbid, and he couldn't see far from seeing it because of the mud and sand that had been stirred up.

He recalled Zhao Xiangling's clothes today. Red. No, it was morning. Azure is a lotus pattern skirt in azure color!

The water is invisible, and the water plants are at the bottom of the pool, and the clothes are not conspicuous, Li Ruiqing can't see her people at all.

Along the bottom of the pool, Li Ruiqing searched all the way, the more he couldn't find it, the more anxious he was, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't find it, he might as well stumble over his feet, he was tripped backwards, and saw that Zhao Xiangling was actually in front of him picking lotus flowers.

She closed her eyes tightly, her face was slightly blue because she had held her breath for a long time, the tender yellow hairband embroidered with lotus flowers on her head was loosened, and her jet-black hair was like ink dripping in water, spreading out sprinkled.
