Chapter XII

On the side of the ship, two shadows, one white and one pink, look side by side, and fall into the eyes of the people in the second-floor wing.

"Isn't it too much for you to talk about this little Yunjiao!" Fu Mingyuan whispered beside Shen Yuzhou.

"I worked hard to smash the money, not to mention, and my voice was about to burst before the girl received my flowers. The result? She came to intervene and let the girl accompany her to play the piano, enjoy the scenery and drink tea. Don't even let me stay around! ”

"You said she was also a girl's family, why did you want to rob me of a girl!" Fu Mingyuan said something and turned his head to look, only to see Shen Yuzhou looking straight out of the window, looking like he hadn't heard anything.

"Hey, hey, Shen Yuzhou!" Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Shen Yuzhou's eyes, and after looking at him looking at him, Fu Mingyuan spoke again, "What are you looking at so intently?" ”

Shen Yuzhou lowered his eyes for a moment, and suddenly looked into the distance, "There is a ship over there." ”

Fu Mingyuan was really shifted from focus, and then looked over, "It's a sigh, it seems that there are still a lot of girls up there." ”

The oncoming ship was different from the heavily painted vermilion painted boat they were on, only painted with ochre varnish, and the windows were decorated with hollow carved patterns, which was very simple.

The boat gradually got closer and saw that there were indeed a few girls on it, and I didn't know how Fu Mingyuan could see it so clearly from a distance of more than 100 meters.

"It seems to be a few official ladies." Fu Mingyuan looked at it for a while and judged the identities of several people, "That talented girl from the Cui family is here." ”

Shen Yuzhou didn't say a word, and Ren Fu Mingyuan chattered endlessly. "Yuzhou, that Miss Cui went home after you rejected the marriage, but she washed her face with tears for several days. It's not that I said, you don't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and so does Concubine Cui, how anxious is it to want to stuff your niece out in public......"

"Shut up, you." Shen Yuzhou turned around and walked out of the door, "They seem to want to stop the boat and go down to have a look." ”

……

On the ochre cruise ship is a group of official ladies dominated by Cui Shuyao.

Since being rejected by Shen Yuzhou on the spot at the palace banquet, Cui Shuyao has been depressed. Seeing Cui Shuyao like this, Li Qingrui offered to take her to the lake to relax, but she didn't want to meet the painting boat of Changyin Pavilion head-on.

Before they could despise the singer's painting boat, someone saw that the eldest princess Xiao Yunjiao was standing on the side of the boat!

"You see, the ...... But Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? The woman who was the first to find it pondered for a moment, "The two boats met...... Are we going to stop the boat and say hello to her? ”

She said carefully, it is no secret that Concubine Cui and the eldest princess have not been on good terms for a long time, Cui Shuyao is the niece of Concubine Cui, and the Cui family is a family of hundreds of years, and the daughter of a small official like her is really soft-spoken.

Not to mention...... She was also an unfavored daughter.

"The eldest princess is actually on the flower boat, which is really shocking." Li Qingrui said, "It's really unpleasant to be able to meet you while swimming in the lake." ”

Cui Shuyao didn't say anything, but didn't look very happy on his face.

He Lian didn't know that saying this would make these people unhappy, she tried her best to curry favor and be a little low, and finally got the opportunity to accompany the cruise ship today. But these young ladies of the family don't seem to be very sober-minded, and they don't even look down on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in and out of their words!

If she didn't remind her again, I was afraid that a few people would dare to pass by as if they couldn't see it, they would be bold, but she He Lian didn't dare to use her head to play with a few people.

Although Li Qingrui muttered, she still ordered someone to stop the boat closely, and the boatload saluted in a proper manner.

After Xiao Yunjiao shouted at them to get up without courtesy, everyone saw that Shen Houye, who was hot in the capital, appeared on the side of the ship at some point.

An eldest princess, a marquis, a son of a master, and a ...... Singer.

Cui Shuyao stood in the center of a group of noble girls, and took the lead in saluting Shen Yuzhou again with a calm face, but when he bowed his head for a moment, he couldn't help but show a little bit of sentimentality.

The women on the ochre cruise ship are all Cui Shuyao's "friends", whether it is borrowing the light of a talented woman or clinging to the daughter of the Cui family, there is some same thought in my heart at this moment - Cui Shuyao's heart, I am afraid that it will not be dispersed.

Li Qingrui, who made this suggestion, also knew it, and she was even more anxious than others. Because she pulled Cui Shuyao out for a walk, and now that she meets Shen Yuzhou, I don't know if Cui Shuyao will complain about her because of this.

Fortunately, among the four people on the opposite boat, there is a lowly singer who can make her entertain, and maybe even make Cui Shuyao breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it, Li Qingrui said: "The scenery of early spring is very elegant, and the courtiers begged the family for a long time before they were allowed to travel together today. Who knew that the eldest princess, Hou Ye, and Fu Gongzi also had this Yaxing, which was really fateful. I just don't know who this ......? ”

She looked at Su Niannian and asked knowingly, Su Niannian bowed slightly, "Changyin Pavilion, Su Niannian." ”

Li Qingrui had been waiting for her to say this, pretending to be surprised, her eyes widened and she raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"Changyin Pavilion is not ...... Land of fireworks? She took two steps back slightly, and her eyes kept flashing over Su Niannian and Xiao Yunjiao, "What's ......?"

She deliberately confused Changyin Pavilion with Qinglou, looking like an innocent and ignorant girl, but she was secretly proud in her heart, thinking that she was alluding to Xiao Yunjiao.

He Lian listened in the back, only feeling that her heart was about to jump out, and she felt more and more that she really shouldn't have come today. Before climbing up to this group of noble girls, she really didn't know that these people were so desperate. Or maybe they have the confidence that the daughters of five-grade petty officials like themselves don't have.

It's just that no matter what, she can't continue to offend the eldest princess with these people, they don't want to die, but she cherishes it very much.

He Lian's eyes trembled slightly, and she secretly glanced at the two dignified men opposite.

A marquis, the son of a first-class minister's family.

She worked hard to make friends with Li Qingrui and others, isn't it just to find a good future for herself? Now that the opportunity is in front of her, how can she not be impressed?

Thinking so, He Lian moved to the side of the boat quietly.

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at Li Qingrui, who was outspoken, and reached out to hold Su Niannian, who was pale but straight.

"Lord Li is also a minister of the humerus who is in an important position in the court, why hasn't he taught his daughter the rules? In front of this palace, dare to be presumptuous? ”

Li Qingrui was taken aback, she still thought that she was so smart, who knew that Xiao Yunjiao directly took her out of bounds, and also involved her father, Cui Shujiao didn't know how angry she was, but she herself was in a dilemma.

"The princess forgives her sins, and the courtiers are just shocked for a moment, and they have no intention of offending the princess." Li Qingrui hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Xiao Yunjiao didn't pay attention to her anymore, and let Li Qingrui kneel on the boat. Cui Shuyao looked anxiously at it for a while, and then opened his mouth to beg Xiao Yunjiao for mercy, "Her Royal Highness the princess is magnanimous, Qingrui is unintentional, just spare her once." ”

As soon as she took the lead, a group of noble ladies behind her followed to help.

"Ask the princess for forgiveness."

Xiao Yunjiao stopped talking, pulled Su Niannian to sit down, didn't go to the boat, and asked Liu Xi to hold the qin to caress him, and even called Xue Ping to pinch his shoulder.

Didn't this group of noble ladies look down on her and behave freely?

She wants these people to see, no matter how good she is, she is the eldest princess of this Dongsheng! She doesn't care what she says behind her back, but no one wants to talk about it in front of her.

Li Qingrui didn't hear the princess tell her to get up, so she didn't dare to move, there were often splashes on the side of the boat, and there was already some stagnant water, although spring had arrived, but the clothes that were getting wet were still cold.

"Princess, please be gracious, although the water on the side of the boat is not deep, it is still piercing, and if you kneel for a long time, you will fall ill." Cui Shuyao looked at Li Qingrui's trembling lips, and stubbornly begged for mercy again.

However, with a cup of tea, this pampered lady could no longer kneel, and she "fainted" without waiting for Xiao Yunjiao to speak, causing a group of noble girls to panic.

All of a sudden, there was chaos on the ship.

At this moment, somehow, a lady on the boat exclaimed, waving her hands in the air, as if she wanted to catch something but didn't catch it after all, and then fell into the water with a thud.

Everyone on the boat was already panicked because of Li Qingrui's "fainting", and when they saw someone falling into the water, they were about to lose their souls, and everyone on the boat was also shocked by this scene, the sound of the willow creek qin stopped suddenly, and Su Niannian couldn't help but get up.

"Save people, save people!" The ladies shouted and urged, and the boatman was ready to jump down.

"Wait!"

A voice rang out from the crowd, and the boatman stood still.

Cui Shuyao said anxiously, "This is an official woman who fell into the water, how can I let my subordinates hug me at will." ”

If the boatman had been rescued, he would not have survived.

"Do any of you know water?" Cui Shuyao raised his voice and asked, but the boatload of people looked at their noses and noses and did not say a word.

"Eldest princess," Cui Shuyao asked in a raised voice, "I wonder if there is a woman on your boat who knows how to save the girl who has fallen into the water, or ......?"

Her gaze moved to Shen Yuzhou and Fu Mingyuan, and her intentions were self-evident.

Xiao Yunjiao sent someone to find the maid who knew how to water as early as the moment the other party fell into the water, but unfortunately there was no woman on their boat.

She shook her head, life was at stake, Fu Mingyuan was about to jump into the water when he saw this, Xiao Yunjiao took two steps forward just to block him, and shook his head at him and Shen Yuzhou invisibly.

Fu Mingyuan didn't know why he was about to rush forward, Shen Yuzhou and Xiao Yunjiao looked at each other and understood what she meant, and reached out to hold down the stunned Qing.

"Xue Ping," Xiao Yunjiao turned his head, "this palace remembers that you know water." ”

Xue Ping understood, stepped on the side of the boat in two or three steps and jumped into the water.

He was indeed very good at water, and in a short time he rescued people in the steep waters of the lake in spring.

The woman who fell into the water was He Lian on the ochre-colored cruise ship, and after being rescued, she hurriedly glanced at the handsome man who had saved her, and her heart was like ashes in an instant.

She clearly knew that her plan had been completely disappointed.

It wasn't Marquis Shen who saved her, not Master Fu, or even the servants and maids on the ship.

She knew that nine times out of ten, this was one of the male favorites that the eldest princess called the doorman.

Under the fright, He Lian felt that her head was dizzy, her head was getting heavier and heavier, and her eyelids were flushed, and she really fainted.

The woman on the boat was even more flustered, and every word you said to me made the quiet lake seem to be boiling.

"It's ridiculous." Xiao Yunjiao frowned, "The noise gives me a headache." ”

Ignoring the group of women who had no masters, Xiao Yunjiao first instructed Xue Ping to go to the cabin to change clothes, and then asked Primrose to take the fainted He Lian back to the cabin to take care of it first.

Then he flicked his sleeves and said, "The boat docks." ”
