Chapter Seventy-Four: The Colorful Lake
During this time, Song Lingxi, who was also sloppy and used to being carefully dressed up by Hibiscus and Peony, was almost unable to recognize herself in the mirror, Furong asked: "What's the mother?" Is there something wrong? ”
"No, I suddenly feel a little unrecognizable like this."
Peony looked like she was about to cry: "Miss, you have loved cleanliness and beauty since you were a child, I really don't know how much you have suffered this time." ”
Song Lingxi pulled Hibiscus with one hand and peony with the other: "Although the life on the mountain is hard, it is barely passable, except for the two of you, everything else is fine." ”
Chu Yiyun slowly walked into the room: "What about me, don't you think about your prince?" ”
After Furong and Peony saluted, they quietly retreated, and Chu Yiyun took her into her arms from behind Song Lingxi, and asked softly in her ear: "Tell me quickly, do you miss me?" ”
Song Lingxi slowly turned around and asked softly with a worried heart, "Do you really believe that I am still innocent?" ”
Chu Yiyun smiled lightly, picked up Song Lingxi and put her on the bed: "Your innocence has long been ruined in the hands of this king, how can there be any innocence at all." ”
Late at night, when Song Lingxi turned over in a daze, she found that Chu Yiyun was still looking at her: "Why don't you sleep yet, why are you looking at me like this?"
"It all came as suddenly as a dream, and I was afraid that as soon as I closed my eyes, I would wake up and you would be gone."
Song Lingxi said casually: "It's not simple, just pinch it." ”
Chu Yiyun took Song Lingxi's hand and put it on his chest: "Why don't you pinch it." ”
"Then I really pinched?"
"Pinch it, it's not the first time you've pinched me anyway."
Song Lingxi slowly put his hand into Chu Yiyun's placket, then closed his eyes and pinched Chu Yiyun's strong chest, Chu Yiyun almost cried out in pain: "So hard, are you looking for a fight?" See how I clean you up tonight. ”
"The prince spares his life, spares his life"
"Don't forgive, anyway, you don't want to sleep again tonight."
Wiped out the bandits who had been entrenched in Meng County for many years, and got rid of the gang of traffickers in the capital in one fell swoop, Chu Yiheng naturally went back to the capital first to ask for credit.
The rest of the men, horseback riders, and women ride in carriages, Chu Yiyun plans to take them all the way to the mountains and rivers to slowly return to the palace, when the carriage goes out of the city, Yang Yong said: "I heard that there is a colorful lake at the junction of Meng County and Qing County, the lake is blue in the morning, golden at noon, and slowly turns from red to black in the evening, which is particularly beautiful, why don't we go and see it?"
"Okay, it's rare that we can come out together and have a good time and go back."
It was just noon when they walked the colorful lake, and the sparkling colorful lake under the breeze was golden, as if it was sprinkled with gold, Song Lingxi curiously picked up a handful of golden lake water, but when the lake was held in his hand, it was still clear and transparent, and the peony rolled up his sleeves and put his hand into the water to grab a handful of mud: "It's really amazing, the water is transparent, and the mud is also black, how can the surface of this lake become golden?" ”
Yang Yong, who was also curious, said: "Yes, I don't know if there are any fish in this water?" ”
Chu Yiyun raised the corner of his mouth with a wicked smile: "This is also the question I want to ask, why don't you go down and take a look, if you can catch a fish and return to the capital, I will arrange your marriage to Furong immediately." ”
"Okay!"
Yang Yong, who was ridiculed, began to undress without saying a word, and then jumped off the lake with a pop, which made the people on the shore laugh, Chu Yiyun looked at Furong and said, "It seems that this kid really wants to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"The prince is so bad, he knows how to make fun of others."
The people on the shore didn't say a few words, Yang Yong grabbed the fish and surfaced, strode towards the shore, and kept shouting: "I caught the prince, I caught the prince." ”
Chu Yiyun leaned over and poured a handful of water on Yang Yong: "Stinky boy, what did you mean that you caught the prince?" ”
"I'm sorry Lord Wang, I said something wrong"
"Go back and catch it again, how can there be enough for so many of us?"
"Yes, lord."
Li Xudong took the fish and said, "I'll go grill, I'm good at grilling fish." ”
Chu Yiyun smiled lightly: "Okay, Peony will help." ”
Peony nodded hurriedly with a smile on her face: "I know the prince." ”
Song Lingxi looked at the backs of Li Xudong and Peony and asked, "Why did the prince ask Peony to help?" ”
"Don't you see, she's happy? Along the way, I have long found out that Li Xudong is interested in peonies, Li Xudong is not bad, he has the demeanor of Lord Chen, he is upright, and his appearance is not bad, and he will have the opportunity to promote it in the future, and he is also a manufacturable material, I will not be wronged by Peony. ”
"Well, I believe that as long as you have your vision, she is willing to save Peony."
Li Xudong naturally didn't understand that Chu Yiyun intended to let her be alone with Peony for a while, although after getting along during this time, he felt that Chu Yiyun was also easy-going, and it was even more rare that he could still mingle with the people under him, and along the way, Peony and Hibiscus were all eating together at the same table with Chu Yiyun and were unrestrained, which is enough to show that Peony's status in the Qi Palace's Mansion is by no means ordinary Yahuan, and with an identity like Peony, Chu Yiyun may not be able to look down on a small role like him. He was still thinking about how to make good use of this little time to please Peony.
Peony, who has spent a day at Li Xudong's house, also has a good impression of Li Xudong, otherwise she wouldn't have answered so happily when Chu Yiyun asked her to help, in order not to embarrass Li Xudong when she was grilling fish, she kept adding firewood to the fire, and the prince asked her to help, she couldn't sit still.
Li Xudong thought for a long time before finding a topic: "Do you know how to grill fish?" ”
Peony shook her head and said, "No, there used to be cooks in the house, and I was only responsible for accompanying Miss every day." ”
"You must have a good relationship with the princess, right?"
"I grew up with Miss since I was a child, I said that Yahuan actually Miss has always treated me as a sister, she took care of me more than I took care of her, when I was a child in the Hou Mansion we ate and dressed the same, once I broke the Hou Ye's favorite jade Ruyi, Miss told the Hou Ye that she broke it, and caused the Miss to be punished to kneel, and once I was bullied by the son of the Wang Yuan next door, Miss beat Wang Fugui to the head and bleed, and then the boys on the whole street were afraid of Miss, Later, we grew up slowly, and the more beautiful the young lady became, the more beautiful the marquis would not let the young lady go out, and occasionally she would sneak out, but when she ran out, she would come back after a fight with the boy. ”
Li Xudong smiled and said, "I didn't expect the princess to be so powerful." ”
"Yes, there is no boy on the whole street who is not afraid of her."
"Then how did you get into the Hou Mansion?"
"My father is a hussar lieutenant under the Hou Ye's account, and after my mother left, my father couldn't take care of me, so I entrusted me to Mrs. Hou Ye to take care of."
