On the shore of Linping Lake, tourists are weaving, and there are many painting boats and boats docked on the shore.

The painting boat of the Jiping Marquis Mansion also stopped here, Ye Fu and Ye Qian got on the boat, only to find that the second brother Ye Ji had already arrived first, and was sitting around drinking tea and laughing with a few classmates, as soon as the two got on the boat, they were quiet for a moment, and they all looked over.

Ye Fu was a little unhappy, the second brother didn't say that he would bring someone over, but she said yesterday that she would come to Pinghu. Fortunately, there is still a second floor in the painting boat, and the two of them went upstairs one after the other.

A classmate pushed Ye Ji with his elbow, "Those two are your sisters?" That little one looks so cute, let her come and play with us, she's still young anyway, so don't shy away from it. ”

Ye Ji glanced at him lightly, "She is my fourth sister, and she has just married King Yu, are you sure you want her to come over to accompany you?" ”

"Sss The man gasped, "No, no, I still want to save my life and go home and eat zongzi." Just kidding, let King Yu see his fiancée sitting with him, and it is estimated that he will whip himself into a five-colored wisp with a horsewhip.

"She is the little princess of Tianding chosen by King Yu?" Another classmate touched his chin, "King Yu is lucky, he shoots so casually blindfolded, and he shoots such a cute and good-looking one, you say that if he shoots an ugly monster, what should I do, can't I really marry?"

"Those who can go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, where can there be ugly monsters? It is estimated that they are all beautiful, so King Yu dares to shoot blindfolded. ”

Everyone giggled and laughed, but Ye Fu and Ye Qian just didn't hear it. They came too early, and waited for more than an hour for the dragon boat race to officially start.

This year, because of the participation of four princes, the dragon boat race is particularly lively. Of course, the princes did not play in person, but the guards of each province rowed boats and beat drums. The red dragon boat belongs to the crown prince, the white one belongs to the second prince Rui Wang, the blue one belongs to the third prince Kang Wang, and the black one belongs to the fourth prince Yu Wang.

Ye Qian heard that Ye Ji's classmates began to bet again, betting on which dragon boat would win in the end.

"In previous years, there were no such princes to participate, and no one knows what their strength is, how should this be gambled?"

"No matter what the strength is, whoever dares to win against His Royal Highness the Prince, I bet that the Prince will win."

"That's not necessarily, King Rui has always been on an equal footing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I bet that King Rui can win."

"King Yu is the most ......, King Yu is the most uninhibited, maybe there is also a experience on this dragon boat, I bet that King Yu can win."

Ye Qian listened to them betting, but only the third prince, King Kang, was not betting, and no one mentioned it.

The drums shook loudly, the drums became more and more dense, and the dragon boat race began. The prince's red dragon boat and King Rui's white dragon boat went hand in hand, King Kang's cyan dragon boat always followed behind the red dragon boat, in a state of guard, and King Yu's black dragon boat remained flush with the cyan dragon boat unhurriedly, as for the other dragon boats, they were only a little behind the black dragon boat of King Yu.

"Look, I said that no one dares to surpass His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone doesn't even dare to surpass the dragon boats of King Kang and King Yu."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the white dragon boat was a little ahead. The people on the red dragon boat rowed desperately, but in the end they did not overtake the white dragon boat of King Rui.

Linping Lake remembered the cheers, mixed with the call of "Rui Wang".

"Look, I said that King Rui can be equal to the crown prince. I've won, everybody. ”

"If you win, you'll have to be treated!"

"Please, please, let's go to Qingyun Tower."

"Go ahead, my two sisters are here, and I won't go." Finally, there is the voice of Ye Ji.

The classmates dispersed, Ye Ji called someone to clean up, and he went up to the second floor, "Where are the eldest sister and fourth sister still going?" Do you want to go back? ”

Ye Fu is looking forward to what prince or other clan dignitaries she can meet after the dragon boat race, how can she be willing to go back, of course, she can't let Ye Qian go back, "We have to play for a while, the scenery here is not bad." ”

Ye Ji didn't say anything more and sat aside.

Ye Qian's eyes looked outside, and she kept thinking in her mind that His Highness didn't win, and he didn't know if he was sad in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to what these two people said.

Another hour passed, and when it was time for lunch, there were many fewer boats on the lake, and the tourists on the shore were almost scattered. Ye Fu was a little disheartened, seeing that it was a trip for nothing today, and she didn't meet anyone. She was about to leave, but she saw a very simple but large painting boat coming slowly, and she vaguely saw the figure of King Yu through the open window.

Ye Fu's heart jumped, and when the painting boat arrived at the place adjacent to them, he hurriedly beckoned Ye Qian over, "Fourth sister, come and see, is that His Royal Highness King Yu?" ”

Ye Qian ran to her side, and sure enough, she saw King Yu, and King Yu was also looking up, Ye Qian smiled and waved her hand, and two small pear vortices appeared on her white and tender cheeks.

Sitting with King Yu was the prince, and the boat was also the prince's. He lost the dragon boat race, and was robbed of the limelight by King Rui in front of so many people, and he was unhappy, and it happened that King Kang couldn't accompany him because of something today, and he happened to meet King Yu, so he pulled King Yu to drink with him.

"Since you've met them, let's invite them over." The prince did not wait for King Yu to object, so he ordered someone to pick up Ye Qian and them. The two painting boats were in one place, and the prince used a sampan to pick up Ye Qian and Ye Fu, and Ye Ji was not at ease, so he also followed.

Ye Fu's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the prince, except for King Yu, there were really other people here, and he was His Royal Highness the Prince, who had not been seen since the Hundred Flowers Banquet!

The prince was already drunk, and said with a smile: "Today is the Yulan Festival, and I don't pay attention to it so much, so sit down." ”

The four of them sat on the left and right sides of the prince, Ye Qian sat next to King Yu, and Ye Fu and Ye Ji sat opposite them.

Ye Qian saw that no one was paying attention, took out the five-color wisps that she had knitted, handed them to King Yu, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, this is what I made up and gave it to you." ”

King Yu didn't answer, and stretched out his hand, "Isn't it all tied to your wrist?" The little girl knew that she had made a long life thread for herself, obviously she had put herself in her heart, and the corners of King Yu's mouth were curved happily.

Ye Qian had no choice but to help him tie it up, and said in a low voice: "I wish Brother Yan good health, safety and success." ”

"What are you two muttering about?" If King Yu had taken the longevity thread directly, no one would have noticed, he wanted Ye Qian to help him tie it, and now everyone noticed it, Ye Fu Ye Ji didn't dare to ask, but the prince couldn't help but ask.

King Yu raised his wrist and showed it to everyone, "Miss Ye Si gave me a long life." ”

The prince made a sour look, "The fourth child is really happy, there is a long life thread sent by Miss Ye Si herself, alas, look at Lonely, empty-handed, it's really pitiful." As he spoke, he raised his hands to indicate that he did not have any five-colored wisps tied around his wrists.

He was just joking, but Ye Fu felt that this was a good opportunity not to be missed, got up, knelt in front of the prince's seat, solemnly took out a five-colored wisp, held it in both hands and sent it to the prince, "This is a long-lived wisp made by the people's daughter, if His Royal Highness the prince does not dislike the vulgar craftsmanship of the people's daughter, he is willing to dedicate it to His Highness." ”

The prince's eyes turned around her face, he had learned to dress up at a young age, his gaze went down the slender neck, where there were already some girlish ups and downs, the prince sighed, it's a pity, it's a little younger.

Sighing in her heart, she felt a pity, but the prince's hand stretched out to the longevity wisp in her hand, and her fingertips lightly scratched the white and tender palm, Ye Fu's body suddenly became numb, and her hands shook slightly, but she saw that the prince did not take the longevity wisp, but withdrew his fingers, "I see that Miss Ye Si was directly tied to the fourth child's wrist just now." ”

Ye Fu's heart beat wildly, "His Royal Highness will not give up, Ye Fu is willing to serve." She raised her head and looked boldly at the prince, her eyes full of adoration and joy.

The prince lost the dragon boat race, he was originally unhappy, but she was more comfortable at a glance, the concubines in this Hou Mansion are bolder than those country girls, those little girls who secretly got it, they will only tremble when they see him, and those who can barely open their mouths are begging him to let go, no one can talk to him happily like Ye Fu, let alone the look in his eyes, let alone compare. However, he is the crown prince, how many eyes are staring, no matter what, he can't be too wanton, so he has never touched the girl of the official family, he is a ten-year-old and eleven-year-old girl from the countryside, and no one will care if he dies.

The prince's heart was relieved, and his wrist was stretched out, Ye Fu's fingers were about to tremble happily, and he barely controlled himself and tied the longevity strand to the prince's wrist, "Ye Fu wishes His Royal Highness the prince a safe and healthy life and always wishes." ”

Tie up the longevity, Ye Fu fell back to his seat, Ye Ji turned his head to look at her, shook his head slightly, and signaled her not to go too far, but Ye Fu was full of princes in his heart, and he didn't notice Ye Ji at all.

The crown prince grew up in the palace, how could he not be sensitive, he was looked at by such a hot gaze, he had already noticed it, and from time to time he glanced over, which made Ye Fu even more reluctant.

Seeing that the situation between the prince and Ye Fu was wrong, King Yu got up and said goodbye: "Miss Ye Si can't help but be hungry, I want to take her to eat something." ”

"You two go." The crown prince was disgusted with King Yu's eyesore, and waved his hand.

Ye Ji hurriedly got up, "The student also took his leave." ”

"Then you can go too." There was one less person in the eyesore, and the prince was even happier in his heart.

Ye Ji desperately glanced at Ye Fu, Ye Fu obviously saw it, but he didn't want to pay attention to it. Ye Ji was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to speak directly, "Big sister, let's go too." ”

Ye Fu smiled slightly, "I'm not hungry yet, the second brother and the fourth sister should go eat first." ”

Ye Ji was so angry that he gritted his teeth, they all left, leaving Ye Fu alone What's the matter, "Don't disturb the purity of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Who said I'm afraid to be bothered?" If Ye Fu left, it would be nothing, but she obviously didn't want to leave, she obviously wanted to stay with herself, and the prince couldn't help but speak, "If you want to go, you can leave, what are you talking about?" ”

When Ye Ji heard this, he didn't dare to speak again, and left behind King Yu and Ye Qian.
