Baihe Lake is not far from Ci'an Palace, slightly smaller than Jiulong Lake, the lake embankment is full of willow trees and pines and cypresses, thousands of silky willows gently caress the lake, the pines and cypresses are tall and straight, and they are shady.

I saw that the lotus leaves on the lake surface were dense, almost crowded the entire lake, the lotus pavilion was slim and elegant, in a thousand postures, like a fairy bathing in the water with a light veil, standing with a smile, shy, tender beads, full of dripping, bursts of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, Yu Lin temporarily put aside the boredom in his heart and only enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the lake.

In the middle of the lake in the distance, the layers of lotus leaves swayed, and a small ink-colored boat was rowed out from it, and the side of the boat was full of lotus leaves, which were connected with the surrounding lotus leaves, and it was really impossible to see if you didn't look carefully.

Yu Lin saw that the boat was interesting, and suddenly became interested in taking a boat, so he said to Li Zhong: "Call that boat over!" ”

Li Zhong hurriedly approached the lake, beckoned by the railing and shouted: "The emperor is here, come over quickly!" After shouting two or three times, I saw that the boat was slowly sailing over.

Not long after, the boat had reached the lake, and out of the small canopy came a woman in a pale green dress, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a clever smile, it was Lu Yuan.

I saw her lightly applying powder, her long hair was loosely tied behind her with milky white ribbons, there were only two broken beaded hairpins in her bun, dotted with a little tassel, her dress was light and blue, and only a few pale plum blossoms were embroidered at the cuffs, reflecting the lotus leaves stacked around her, which was very elegant and pleasant.

Yu Lin has not seen her for a few days, and there is no lack of thoughts in his heart, but when he sees her dizzy cheeks and smiling beautifully today, he can't take his eyes off.

Yu Lin smiled and said: "Miss Yuanyuan is so comfortable, can you enjoy the light and let me board the boat to ride?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, please take it." ”

Yu Lin hurriedly stepped onto the boat and ordered Li Zhong and others to wait on the shore. Chunhua held up the penny at the stern, and the boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

Lu Yuan smiled and invited Yu Lin to the canopy, only to see a small low table in the canopy, on which was a jasper-colored jade disc, which contained half a plate of freshly peeled lotus seeds, and there were many unpeeled lotus canopies in the cabin a few times lower.

Lu Yuan picked up the plate, sent it to Yu Lin, and said with a smile: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs for days, and he can't help but get angry, this is the lotus seed that Yuanyuan has just peeled, and the lotus heart has been removed. ”

Yu Lin picked one up and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "It's really sweet, delicious and delicious." "I ate all that half of the plate in one go.

Lu Yuanwan said with a smile: "Yuanyuan worked hard to peel it for a long time, just to ask the emperor to taste it, I don't want the emperor to eat it all." This is what Yuanyuan is preparing to cook porridge for the Queen Mother's dinner. She seemed to be happy and angry, laughing and feasting, very delicate, which completely melted Yulin's heart.

Yu Lin smiled: "Then punish me to peel the lotus for you." As he spoke, he picked up the crisp lotus pod and peeled it off.

Lu Yuan pretended to be serious and said: "Then you will be punished for peeling a full plate, and you will not be allowed to go ashore if you can't finish peeling!" ”

Yu Lin laughed and said, "Willing to be punished!" Then he said: "What did Miss Yuanyuan do with this boatload of lotus leaves?" ”

Lu Yuan lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "The emperor forgot, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Yuan Yuan has always used it to make zongzi!" ”

When Yu Lin heard this, he was full of interest: "Then I will definitely go to Ci'an Palace to ask Miss Yuanyuan for zongzi to eat!" ”

Lu Yuan said playfully: "It's enough!" They both laughed.

After peeling lotus seeds, Lu Yuan smiled and pulled Yulin out to enjoy the lotus flowers, and suddenly saw a red carp swimming leisurely, Lu Yuan exclaimed in surprise: "There are fish in the water!" ”

Yu Lin said with a smile: "What's all the fuss about, there are as many as a thousand fish in this hundred lotus pond." Do you like it, I will let you catch a few more and put them in Weng Zhong and send them to Ci'an Palace for you to enjoy? ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and said: "The fish is happy in this Huzhou, and putting it in Weng is like being imprisoned in a cage, losing its freedom, and it will no longer be happy." Therefore Yuanyuan does not want to. ”

Yu Lin sighed with emotion: "Yuan Yuanguo is truly benevolent. ”

The sun has slowly moved westward, and Yu Lin only feels happy on this ship, and time flies.

Lu Yuan instructed Chunhua to row the boat to the shore and sent it to the shore, and Li Zhong and the others on the shore had been waiting for a long time.

Lu Yuan smiled and said to Li Zhong: "Let Gonggong Li wait for a long time, it's Yuanyuan's." ”

Li Zhong hurriedly acted and said that he didn't dare to do it.

Lu Yuan continued: "Yuanyuan saw that Gonggong De took someone to stick the cicadas on the books around the Chengming Palace, the cicada shape is small and the body is black, and it is not easy to notice it attached to the tree, and it will fly around as soon as it is frightened, so it is not effective to drive away cicadas. ”

Li Zhong hurriedly said: "Little cicada, it really gives the minions a headache, does Miss Lu have a better way?" ”

Lu Yuan said: "Cicadas are afraid of sparrows, praying mantises, etc., and my father-in-law can drive them away by raising natural enemies. When Yuanyuan was young, she saw people light firewood at night, and then beat the branches with a long pole, and the cicadas would fly near the fire and order someone to catch them. Yuanyuan made a clumsy decision, please ask Gonggong Li to test whether it is effective. ”

Li Zhong bent down and said, "Old slave, thank you for the girl's advice." ”

Lu Yuan nodded with a smile, and said to Yu Lin: "Yuan Yuan sends the emperor." ”

Since that day, Yu Lin and Lu Yuan have abandoned their suspicions and reconciled, and Yu Lin still went to sit in the side hall of Ci'an Palace every day.

Concubine Rong of Yaohua Palace learned about this from Jinxi's mouth, and was very indignant, and threw the jade ice bowl she was eating on the ground, and when she landed the broken jade, Cui Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to clean up.

Concubine Rong's eyes showed extreme dissatisfaction, and she said hatefully: "In broad daylight, you dare to seduce the emperor so blatantly, this palace must teach that Lu Yuan a lesson, and she can't be allowed to do anything wrong with the support of the queen mother." ”

The tassel gently slapped the pu fan and said, "Don't be angry." The little Lu Yuan can't become a climate, so let the slave and maid ponder and think about it, and give the mother a clever plan. ”

When Concubine Rong heard her say this, her eyes rolled, she sneered, and said: "Hurry up and think of a plan, this palace is not in a hurry to wait for those days, in case she climbs onto the emperor's dragon bed, this palace will strangle her to death in the bud." As he spoke, his ten fingers clenched into fists, and his charming eyes revealed a faint fierce light.
