Text Chapter 134 Showing the Horse's Feet
Just now, I was only concerned about picking flowers, and at this time, I calmed down and helped the Southern Qin Emperor all the way down, only to find that the real scenery had not yet come into view. As far as the eye can see, Cangwen Lake is boundless, the vast water surface is magnificent, and the sound of flowing water is gentle and quiet.
Although it does not have the liveliness of the sea or the majesty of the Yangtze River, the indifference and tranquility are also not portrayed by the first two.
When the breeze blows, the surface of the lake ripples, and the weeping willows on the shore also dance, making it even more charming. Slender wicker streafs across the clear surface of the lake, covered with crystal clear water droplets, shining brightly in the sunlight.
The scene in front of her reminded Ye Wanruo of the Qing dynasty Li Wenfu, when she was traveling with her teacher when she was young, she saw a pool of clear water wrinkled by the wind, and realized the next couplet: green water is worry-free, but the wind wrinkles the face.
"Uncle, it's so beautiful here!"
Not wanting to investigate the true meaning of that sentence, Ye Wanruo was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery of Cangwen Lake, and couldn't help but sigh to the Southern Qin Emperor beside her, but her eyes were locked in front of her.
Seeing Ye Wanruo's little appearance that she was a little obsessed with the beautiful scenery in front of her, Emperor Nanqin's eyes flashed with kindness, and she said with a smile: "This is a well-known landscape in Kyoto City, if you like it, you will come over to relax more in the future!" You girl, you usually like to stuff yourself in the house, and you have to interact more with your cousins when you have nothing to do! ”
"Got it, uncle!"
Ye Wanruo obediently agreed, but she thought in her heart, she couldn't wait to distance herself from these princes to avoid being affected, where would she think about getting close to them? Unless she's crazy!
Prince Sheng followed behind Emperor Nan Qin, looking at the blue figure that was accompanying Empress Nan Qin at this time, graceful and moving, like an elf-like existence. But the smile and gentleness expressed did not belong to him.
Just when Ye Wanruo was distracted, the private interactions between Yu Chi Jingyao and Ye Wanruo were all taken into the eyes of the prince, and the light in his eyes became even darker. Even if she cries, she Ye Wanruo can only belong to him alone.
Thinking of that day in the Prince's Mansion, Yu Chi Jingyao's maintenance of Ye Wanruo, and when Yu Chi Jingyao looked at Ye Wanruo, there was a shallow doting smile on the corner of his mouth, it was not that Prince Sheng couldn't understand it, but he didn't want to investigate it deeply, and it didn't mean that he didn't care.
Prince Sheng lowered his chin, thought for a moment, and then turned to look at Yu Chixian, who was standing side by side, his eyes full of birds. At the same time, Yu Chixian was also looking at Prince Sheng tacitly, as if he understood the deep meaning in his eyes, nodded to Prince Sheng gently, and made a reassuring action.
All the way along the stone road and across the stone bridge, I saw the dragon boat that appeared in front of me. The huge dragon head is beautifully carved, and the dragon horn is written with the auspicious words of 'Guotai Min'an'. The dragon boat is more than 20 meters long, 2 meters wide, and three stories high. In addition to the heavy guards on the dragon boat, the touchable dragon boat shed is full of couplets: 'The dragon boat is eternal, loyal and filial piety is prosperous for a lifetime, the ritual is heavy for thousands of years, the legend of a hundred things is extended, the country is eternal, and the time sequence is a hundred years of prosperity', and the horizontal batch is 'Wanbao Dynasty'.
Ye Wanruo helped the Southern Qin Emperor to walk onto the dragon boat, standing on a high place and looking into the distance, the scene in front of her changed to a different picture, which was even more different from when she stood at a low place.
As far as the eye can see, the blue waves are vast, and the mountains are stacked and green, looming and hazy. The blue of the lake and the green of the mountains are one, not blue, not green, but just like blue, better than green.
After everyone got on the dragon boat, the dragon boat slowly moved forward. Standing on the bow of the boat and listening to the sound of the water on the vast lake, it is quiet and beautiful. Wherever the dragon boat passes, it stirs up layers of ripples, which always makes people feel like they are in a paradise.
"Wanruo girl, come, my uncle brought you your favorite pastry when you were a child!"
After admiring the beautiful scenery, the Southern Qin Emperor pulled Ye Wanruo into the cabin, and each table was filled with all kinds of pastries, but there was an extra plate of hibiscus cakes on the table on the lower right side of the Southern Qin Emperor.
After the Southern Qin Emperor sat on the first place, the princes also sat down in the order of the youngest.
And Ye Wanruo had already salivated over the pastries on the table, and blinked her big eyes with curiosity when she looked at the extra hibiscus cakes on the table in front of her.
Seeing Ye Wanruo's greedy little appearance, the smile on the corner of Nan Qinhuang's mouth became a little stronger, he glanced at Yu Chi Jingyao, and said to Ye Wanruo: "Wanruo girl, try this hibiscus cake, this is made by Concubine Yi herself for you, when you were a child, when you entered the palace with Xihe, you always pestered Concubine Yi to make hibiscus cakes for you to eat!" Taste it and see how it tastes? ”
Yifei? Isn't that the mother of the five princes?
Realizing this, Ye Wanruo turned her eyes to Yu Chi Jingyao, seeing that he was still nodding at her gently.
In the eyes of Emperor Nan Qin and Yu Chi Jingyao's expectations, Ye Wanruo's white fingers twisted a piece of hibiscus cake and sent it to her mouth, the hibiscus cake was sweet but not greasy, and it melted in her mouth, which was a hundred times better than the tiramisu she ate in modern times.
Savoring it carefully, the aftertaste was mellow, so that Ye Wanruo couldn't help but take another bite of the hibiscus cake.
Looking at Ye Wanruo's enjoyment, Emperor Nanqin nodded with satisfaction and said to the princes below: "Taste the pastries first, and then taste the delicacies later." Today, you don't have to be restrained, just speak freely! ”
"Thank you, Father!"
The princes got up and bowed to the Southern Qin Emperor, and then sat down again. While tasting the hibiscus cake, Ye Wanruo secretly smacked her tongue that there were many rules of the ancient royal family!
"Eat slowly, although the hibiscus cake is delicious, it is not suitable to eat more, the mother has made a lot, and the father has allowed you to take it back for a while!"
Ye Wanruo's greedy appearance made Yu Chi Jingyao shake his head helplessly, and couldn't help but remind him out loud.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Hearing that she could take it back, Ye Wanruo immediately restrained the essence of a foodie, and got up with a smile and blessed Emperor Nanqin.
"This is not what my uncle did, if you want to thank you, you will enter the palace with Jing Yao another day, and thank Concubine Yi for her hard work in making hibiscus cakes for you!"
Emperor Nanqin was really well-intentioned, and he was always thinking about creating opportunities for Ye Wanruo and Yu Chi Jingyao to be alone. said that it was for Wei Chicong to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but the atmosphere in the field seemed to be as if only the three of them were interacting.
"Uncle is very right!"
Ye Wanruo smiled and agreed.
Yu Chi Jingyao patted his head, and a small guard walked in outside the door, bowing in with a teapot in his hand.
Several trips did not bring the palace maid out. De Zhengye just wanted to take the teapot and pour tea for the emperor and several princes, but Ye Wanruo opened her mouth at this time and instructed Lingxiang beside her: "Lingxiang, you go and pour tea for your uncle and a few cousins!" ”
"Yes, Miss!"
Ling Xiang bowed slightly to Ye Wanruo, then walked towards the little guard with lotus steps, took the teapot and cautiously took the lead in walking towards the right position.
"On the way back, I heard that my father loved my cousin Wanruo as always, and I was able to see it today, and it was so!"
Wei Chi Cong, who was sitting at the end, smiled and spoke, mentioning the Southern Qin Emperor's love for Ye Wanruo, and his eyes were surprisingly calm, as if he was just telling about other people's affairs.
The eighth cousin laughed, and the uncle just cherished Wan Ruoniang's early death. I have long heard that my eighth cousin traveled to various countries, can you have any interesting observations and stories to share with my uncle and cousins? ”
Hearing Ye Wanruo's words, the eyes of Emperor Nanqin and several princes turned to Yu Chicong together.
But Ye Wanruo's eyes fell on Ling Xiang, and I saw that after she poured a teacup for the Southern Qin Emperor, she first came to Prince Sheng's side with a teapot.
The closer she got, Lingxiang's whole heart fluttered and jumped, and her deeply lowered eyelids seemed to hide her uneasiness, but she didn't even feel herself, her cheeks unconsciously rose red, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of shyness and affection.
Ye Wanruo silently took all this into her eyes, and then her eyes became cold.
When Ling Xiang came to Prince Sheng's side, she knelt on one side softly, picked up the teapot, and the tea flowed into the teacup. But Lingxiang's attention was not focused on this, but glanced at Yu Chisheng's body.
Such close contact, even when breathing, the unique breath of Prince Sheng lingered under his snort, and this feeling made Lingxiang's blush and heartbeat continue to intensify. Neglected for a moment, he didn't notice that the tea had poured out of the teacup and flowed down the table top onto the prince's robe, leaving stains on the soaked places.
"Presumptuous!"
As if feeling something strange, Prince Sheng withdrew his eyes and saw Lingxiang kneeling beside him who was slightly depressed, and the prince's eyes were full of anger, and he scolded.
Lingxiang kowtowed in front of the prince Sheng, and begged for mercy with a crying voice: "The slave deserves to die, and please ask His Royal Highness the prince to forgive his sins!" ”
All of a sudden, all eyes turned to Wei Chisheng.
Who knew that Yu Chisheng turned his eyes to Ye Wanruo, but Ye Wanruo looked to the side indifferently, as if she didn't see Yu Chisheng's gaze.
After a while, he waved his sleeves a little irritably: "Go down!" ”
Ling Xiang still knelt on the side and didn't move, this time Ye Wanruo took over and scolded with a little displeasure: "How do you do things?" Didn't you hear the prince's cousin say let you go down? Go out and think about it! ”
"Yes!"
Lingxiang's whimpering voice sounded, it sounded like she was crying, she snorted at the prince, and hurriedly got up and retreated.
In the eyes of others, this is Ye Wanruo protecting her own girl, only Ye Wanruo knows the coldness of her heart at this time, and all the speculations have been confirmed, but Ye Wanruo is a little incredulous.
A servant girl can't even do this little thing, this is a big crime to kill her head, but this maid is Ye Wanruo's girl, who doesn't know Prince Sheng's thoughts about Ye Wanruo's desire to be included in the prince's mansion?
At this time, Ye Wanruo retracted the darkness in her eyes, turned to look at the princes apologetically, and said softly: "It's Wanruo who has no way to discipline people, so that your cousins can laugh!" ”
"My cousin was joking! When it comes to travel, what you see and hear is nothing more than crude legends, not worth believing. At this time, looking at the table full of pastries, I thought of the five-spice cake in the Zuimenglou, which I haven't tasted for a long time after I left Kyoto. However, the crown prince's brother's restaurant is opening well, why is it closed? When he returned to Kyoto, the eighth brother still wanted to have a good meal, but he didn't come up empty. If it weren't for Wanruo's cousin's reminder, the eighth brother would have really forgotten to clean up! ”
"Drunken Dream Building?"
Ye Wanruo subconsciously muttered.
"That's right, it's the Drunken Dream Building, the only one in Kyoto, when the crown prince and brother opened this restaurant, even the father was full of praise!"
As if hearing the doubts in Ye Wanruo's tone, Wei Chicong confirmed again, proving that it was impossible for the second Zuimenglou to have a duplicate name.
"Isn't that much pastry enough for you to taste?"
Suddenly, Wei Chixian interrupted Yu Chicong with a timely opening, his tone was not good, and he was slightly aggressive.
Wei Chicong may have realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he obediently stopped talking. Ye Wanruo looked at Wei Chisheng with complicated eyes, calm without a trace of emotion....
