"Two, here." As the carriage came to a complete stop, the coachman opened the curtain.

Bao'er couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and find a place by the river where there was no one.

"Ah, disciple. I'm so angry that I'm so presumptuous in the car. Isn't there a little bit of royal etiquette? If someone finds out, it must not become the laughing stock of the whole city. Endured all the way, making her stomp her feet angrily.

"Where did you go? I don't think I'll lose it. Sima Liang looked puzzled, looking for the other party.

"Ah, Disciple." Boa slapped her.

"Ah, Bao'er is me."

It turned out that Sima Liang found Bao'er to vent and wanted to give a surprise. secretly stepped forward and hugged each other, not wanting to reward his favorite little hand.

"It's all right, Your Highness."

Bao'er was scared and worried, afraid that Sima Liang would be angry, and at the same time worried that the other party would be damaged by herself. Because she was educated, she couldn't hurt the other party for half a point.

Seeing that the other party was at a loss, Sima Liang also knew that he had overplayed. I thought: It's normal for Bo'er to have a reaction.

"It's okay, my question."

"Are you really okay?" Bao'er was still a little worried.

Seeing the other party like this, Sima Liang grabbed the hand that hit him and gently put it on his face and slapped it.

"Bao'er's hand is so soft. How can it hurt my cheekiness. I'm afraid that my cheeky face will hurt my little hands. ”

"Your Highness, you really know how to coax girls."

When it comes to this, Bao'er is not stupid. Hurriedly withdrew his hand and turned shyly.

"Believe it." Sima Liang had a dead face and ran in front of the other party.

Bao'er bit her lip and didn't speak. But the disgusted eyes still showed his attitude.

The two searched along the shore for the boatman and found a manned boat.

"I'll ask the boatman, you wait here for me for a moment." Sima Liang did not pause and walked to the shore alone.

Why don't you take me there? Aren't you rowing together? Bao'er looked at the other party's back and thought suspiciously.

Subsequently, the sneaky appearance of Sima Liang and the boat family was all in her eyes. While frowning, I thought: Are these two people negotiating the price? How it feels like doing something bad.

After the boat owner nodded and left happily. Sima Liang beckoned and motioned for Bao'er, who was peeking over.

"It's rude, you won't come and call me." Bao'er was slightly angry, but walked over anyway.

"How long will the boss go? Can't you change the ship? ”

Sima Liang said as he took it off.

"Bao'er, today I am the boatman, I will row for you. Where are you going, I'll come. ”

I have to say that his undressing speed is really fast. After a few strokes, his bare arms were revealed.

"What are you doing, undressing in public."

Bao'er covered her eyes with her palms, and then peeked at Sima Liang's upper body through her fingers.

I didn't think he was quite sturdy. She thought to herself.

"It's too tight to be forced. And it's physical work, and you'll sweat later. ”

Sima Liang also deliberately showed off his figure.

In terms of eating and drinking, he is not worried. But he doesn't have too much richness. On the contrary, there are still a lot of muscles, although they are not as well-defined as those that are specially trained, but there are places to see.

This is due to Sima Liang, who has insisted on having fun all these years.

After Tang Chong enshrined him for a few years, he also paid some money to help the people in the palace. The number of times I can go out and play has increased a lot.

At the beginning, Sima Liangjue felt that there was nothing interesting in this era. But after a royal hunt, he became obsessed with the sport.

Most of the time he spent away from the palace was spent hunting on horseback in the hunting grounds, or archery at the shooting range.

For this reason, Sima Liang also escaped, and many courses on poetry and etiquette.

Of course, this is also deliberately done by him. This will paralyze the person staring at him and reduce his own threat level. At the same time, he himself does like to play and is too lazy to study.

This is also Sima Liang's confidence to dare to row. Otherwise, the strength of rowing is not strong for laymen.

Seeing the other party's posture, Bao'er was a little worried.

"What if I catch a cold?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. Come on board, I'm going to go. ”

Seeing the other party like this, Bao'er was also helpless. Pick up the clothes you left behind, fold them well, and get on the thief ship.

After she came up, Sima Liang picked up the oars and stood by the side of the boat.

"Oh, Miss Bao'er, where are you going?" He landed on the shore in a decent manner.

"Let's go to Nanhu."

"Okay." Sima Liang has a strange yin and yang spirit.

"Your Highness, can't you speak well?" Boa laughed.

It seems that a lover rows a boat, and the scene of a beautiful woman riding a boat is about to be staged.

But this boat is so easy to row.

Sima Liang's few fancy stands went down, and the boat didn't go in and out much, but it just drove out the feeling of a big boat being bumpy. For this, the delicate Bao'er almost threw up.

"Your Highness, if you can't do it, let's find a boatman." She was a little overwhelmed.

"I've found the trick, wait, it'll be right away." The beauty is on the side, saying that she can't do it, how can Sima Liang say no.

After another jolt in place, he really found a skill.

The boat began to paddle steadily.

"Isn't that okay?" Sima Liang is very complacent.

"Your Highness, you really love to be strong." Bao'er looked at his stinky fart and covered her mouth and smiled.

Seeing her happy, Sima Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the distance between the two is indeed a lot closer.

The Yangliu River was the place where boats were parked in the old canal, so the river channel is unusually wide. But at this time, there are only a few small boats in the whole river.

This is due to the fact that after the new canal was opened, many boats no longer passed through Yancheng. But the convenient waterways that connect to the canal, plus the scenery along the coast. It has gradually become a place for restaurants and Fengyue places to stop.

Of course, it's daytime, and I can't see much of the wind and moon at all.

It was also on this opportunity that Sima Liang rowed the boat to the middle of the river.

Yangliu River, as the name suggests. It is the Yangliujia River.

The sparkling river is endless.

The willows on both sides that have not known for many years cover the shore. The boatman was separated from the people on the shore.

With blue skies and white clouds, and the sun is not too hot in the morning.

It is simply impossible to imagine that this is inside Yancheng.

"This bird is so bold."

Bao'er looked curiously, the waterfowl next to the boat. I had a teasing mind.

"When it's caught and roasted, see if it's bold."

The waterfowl seemed to hear his threat and was startled.

"It's all your fault, what did you say to bake it, it all ran away." Bao'er glanced at Sima Liang.

"How can you blame me. Maybe it's you? ”

"You ......"

……

The two flirted and scolded, so happy.

After paddling for a while, Sima Liang sat down breathlessly.

"Take a break, and we'll go later. Let the boat drift for a while. Apparently he still overestimated his physical strength.

"I didn't expect this rowing to be so tiring. I'll have to find a boat guy next time. While complaining about himself, Sima Liang leaned to the side of the boat, intending to use the river water to cool down.

Bao'er couldn't care about the other party's stinky sweat, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the other party.

"Ah, don't get cold water."

"If you sweat like this, don't you get sick easily when you get cold? The river breeze is also quite cool, you can just bear with it. ”

After Bao'er persuaded her, she took out her handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat on Sima Liang's face, wanting to make him more comfortable.

Feeling the intimacy of the other party, Sima Liang was very happy. I thought: It's not in vain that I sweat this body.

Fortunately, the wind direction is also blowing in the direction of Nanhu.

The cool breeze made Sima Liang's body, and while the heat faded, his heart began to heat up.

"Bao'er, you're so good-looking." He looked at the other party's beautiful side face and was a little moved.

"Your Highness, it will be said to be good." Bao'er blocked her face with her hand. It is used to hide their shyness.

Looking at the other party like this, Sima Liang smiled.

Then he turned his head and looked at the South Lake, which was gradually entering.

"Bao'er, you may not like me, and you may even blame me. This is as it should be, and I have no reason and will not stop you from doing so. Marrying you and I is a matter of interest, but I hope we can have a good outcome. ”

"After all, you are the first lady I am marrying. No matter what happens in the future, you have an irreplaceable place in my heart. ”

"I'm not a lover and I don't say anything hypocritical about women. I took you out to play this time, and I also hope that we can have some contact and open some knots before marriage. We haven't seen each other a few times, and you don't know much about me or me. ”

Sima Liang's serious words surprised Bao'er. When the other party was surprised to say this, his heart also rippled.

The two fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Sima Liang began to continue rowing.

Along the way, the boat is about to reach an island in the middle of a lake.

Sima Liang didn't dare to look at Bao'er, and kept burying his head in rowing, afraid that the other party would hate him.

"Your Highness, you are very happy to have this treasure. The relationship between you and me is not like a romance. Bao'er marrying His Royal Highness is an established fact, I will not complain, I will not be angry, I will only sit in the concubine's room and do everything. ”

"Your Highness, I really feel indebted to Bao'er. When you get married, just treat me well. If you don't give up, I will follow you. ”

Bao'er took the initiative to hug Sima Liang and express her thoughts.

It is as flat as a still lake, like a mirror. Reflections of blue skies and fluttering white clouds.

At this time, a small boat appeared, and with the men and women in the embrace, the lake became no longer calm.

As the waves subsided, the boat docked.

Sima Liang gently touched Bao'er's hand.

"Yes, how can you and me be so easy to explain. After you get married, let's take a closer look. ”

Bao'er, who feels the other party's heart, has more of the playfulness of the girl's family.

"Your Highness, remember to take Bao'er out to play. I've lost a lot of time to play for you. You're going to have to make it up to me. ”

"Good, good."

……

There was no vigor, no blandness, and no bits and pieces of the two of them, so they accepted each other's existence.

Maybe ten years ago, Sima Liang had a choice, but he would still choose so. From start to finish, Boa didn't have a choice, but it was probably the best choice.

The two of them are on an island in the middle of the lake, as if they are isolated from the world.

Here, the two can forget about the marriage contract and can communicate normally.

When he returned to the city, Sima Liang was still the king of Yan, and Bao'er was still the princess to be married.

This trip can be regarded as untying a knot, but it is also tied with a dead knot of fate.

Gradually, the moon climbed into the sky, and the boat also sailed through the South Lake and entered Yancheng.

There are also lights on the shore of South Lake, but they are still less than half of the city.

The wine shops in the city are brightly lit, and there are more big boats in the river. But from time to time there was the sound of music and laughter, and it was clearly not a merchant ship.

In order to avoid knocking over the large boat, the small boat rowed close to the shore.

On closer inspection, this small boat is no longer the one in the daytime, and there is also a rowing boat on the boat.

But the two jade people who snuggled together were still the two during the day.

"River lanterns?" The boatman wondered.

"Go to the river of the river lantern." Sima Liang ordered.

"Okay." The other party gave more, and the boatman had no opinion.

"You put it?" Bao'er smiled and looked at the person beside her.

Sima Liang put his arm around the other party's shoulders.

"I asked someone to put this lamp. We hope you remember our first visit. ”

"I don't want to lie to you, today's matter was discussed by Mu Yu and me last night."

Seeing that she told her about last night, Bao'er was a little annoyed.

"You bad guy, you know to go to the rain room."

"That's not the point."

"That's the most important thing."

Sima Liang was a little speechless, but he didn't expect the other party's focus to be this.

"That means, you don't blame me for listening to Mu Yu's words and doing this."

Bao'er stuck to Sima Liang's chest and rubbed it.

"If there can be more such things in the future, I will also thank Mu Yu. But you can't forget about sneaking to her house. Yours give me a guarantee. ”

Sima Liang was silent and sighed.

"Ah, you bad guy. Is it so hard to make you endure it? Bao'er waited for a meal of powder.

Sima Liang enjoyed this feeling very much, and let the other party mess around.

He didn't want to answer positively, so he wittily changed the topic.

"Look at the river lantern, it will float away in a while, and you won't have to look at it."

Knowing that it was to change the topic, Ke Baoer was still fooled.

"It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen a river lantern. In the past, I had only heard Guo'er mention it. Your Highness, you really have a heart. In Bao'er's eyes, the candlelight of the river lamp appeared.

"I think you're more beautiful, Bao'er."

The Bao'er in Sima Liang's eyes is indeed very beautiful.

The small river channel is full of river lights. Boa, who has a light in her eyes, smiles by the boat. Her smile, unadulterated, innocent and beautiful. I don't know if it's the candle flame that illuminates the night, or Bao'er's shyness that illuminates the heart. Let him revel in it.

"Ascend to the disciples." There was no hint of blame in Bao'er's tone, but more joy.

"Stop, we're going ashore." Sima Liang looked at it and glanced at the small bridge not far away.

"Okay."

After the boat stopped, Sima Liang took Bao'er's hand.

This time, the other party did not resist, but walked along.

"This is, the bridge." Boa was surprised.

This bridge is the beginning of the story of Yancheng between the two.

After the two walked on the bridge, they lay on the edge of the bridge together and looked at the river lanterns.

At the same time, he talked about the ugliness of meeting here.

The bridge looks a bit old, and it is not known when it was built. The names of the bridges in several other places have been weathered and cannot be seen clearly.

Only the stone slab under the old man remains, and the word marriage can still be vaguely seen.

He looked at the two people in front of him, peeked at the words at his feet, and then shook his head and sighed.

"It's good to be young, Yancheng is so good."
