The painted boat with heavy vermilion lacquer and the ochre-colored pleasure boat docked one after another, and Xiao Yunjiao did not have the slightest interest in talking with the group of noble women, and directly sent someone to send Su Niannian back to Changyin Pavilion and then took people to board the carriage back to the house.

As for He Lian in the cabin, let her stay in the painting boat—whoever brought her would be responsible for sending her back.

On the carriage behind the frame of the princess's mansion, Fu Mingyuan said to Shen Yuzhou in confusion: "These girls are really inexplicable enough, they salute and leave, what do you have to offend our little princess, look popular." ”

"I finally came out to swim back to the lake, they were so good, they jumped into the water, it was really fatal."

Shen Yuzhou glanced at him, "You see that?" ”

"See what?" Fu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it that their ship's side is too low and unsafe?" I didn't let the boatman save people, and I didn't buy clothes and pick and choose, so I really didn't know the severity at all. ”

"So you're going to go down and save yourself?"

Shen Yuzhou shook his head, he knew that Fu Mingyuan didn't see that the woman had deliberately fallen into the water. Looking at his posture of preparing to rush up to save people, it doesn't look like he's very smart.

Fu Mingyuan slapped his thigh, "What do you still say, no matter how human life is at stake, why are you holding me when I go to save people?" Fortunately, the princess was saved, otherwise the person would have frozen to death without drowning after a while! ”

Shen Yuzhou...... He was wrong, Fu Mingyuan was not smart, he was simply stupid.

"If I don't stop you, you can save yourself a lady." Shen Yuzhou stared at him, "Or ...... You actually have a crush on the one who fell overboard? Am I beating mandarin ducks? ”

Fu Mingyuan almost jumped up, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't even see what that person looked like, how did he become a lady?" ”

"That person fell into the water by herself, she was just betting that one of you and I would save her, and then she could threaten her to marry her on the grounds of male and female defense." Shen Yuzhou sighed, "You can't even figure this out." ”

Knowing that his brother was stupid, he didn't expect to be stupid like this.

Fu Mingyuan was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

"So...... The princess also saw it? He remembered that when he was going to save someone, Xiao Yunjiao blocked the way, intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at Shen Yuzhou's affirmative nod, Fu Mingyuan fell into deep confusion.

…… Feelings, he really thinks it's an accident, huh?

Several carriages swayed into the city, and Xiao Yunjiao sent Xiu to explain to Shen Yuzhou and Fu Mingyuan and went back to the princess's mansion directly.

As soon as I got home, Primrose brought warm ginger soup from the kitchen.

"Princess, drink a little, the lake is cold, and the province is cold."

Xiao Yunjiao took two sips, "Out of Xiu." ”

"The servant is here."

"Go and give Xue Ping a copy of this ginger soup too." He went into the water today to save people, and he must need this even more.

Izuku said that she was just about to go out, but Xiao Yunjiao called out to her again, "Wait." ”

"You invite the imperial doctor in the house to check his pulse, this is the beginning of spring, and it is not easy to go on a trip to the lake."

Only then did I get out of the house.

The hot ginger soup warmed the throat to the stomach, and also soothed Xiao Yunjiao's beating temples a lot. She stepped crooked for a while, and her spirit was completely relaxed before she began to think in her heart.

I met Su Niannian today, although she only has one face, but she can be sure that she is a woman with backbone. In addition, their Xiao family is really ashamed of her father, and Xiao Yunjiao has the heart to help her leave Changyin Pavilion.

Li Qingrui said that Changyin Pavilion is a place of fireworks, although it is not very accurate, it cannot be said that she made it up.

Today's music girls, dancing girls, and singers, although they are not known to be the same as prostitutes who sell their bodies, there are not a few who are committed to customers, and there is no clear distinction between the turbidity, which also makes the world laugh in vain at these women who really eat with their ability. Some Qinglou will also cultivate some kabuko, so the world is even more confused.

But Xiao Yunjiao has always felt that identity does not affect a person's style.

When she traveled, she had been to many music shops and restaurants, and she had also seen many singing and dancing girls. Some of them are bent to welcome them, hoping that one day they will be seen by dignitaries and nobles and fly on the branches, but some people are just trapped in the helpless world like Su Nian Nian and cannot get out.

She is so angry today not because Li Qingrui is disrespectful to her, but because she behaves like this in front of Su Niannian, which really insults Su Niannian's noble ambition.

In her opinion, Su Niannian, who has a firm mind, is far more noble than some noble women raised in the courtyard of deep mansions who only know the reputation of the family. I still have to think of a way to let Su Nian get out of the predicament openly and live the life she wants.

Thinking about it, there was a sudden noise outside the window, as if it had been hit by something.

Xiao Yunjiao looked up, only to find that he had been pondering for a long time, and it was dark outside the window.

There were two more sounds, and now she could hear clearly—it was the sound of a stone hitting the window.

There is no second person in this world who can smash her window with a stone at night, Xiao Yunjiao called Primrose to tell them to rest, and by the way, he evacuated all the subordinates in the Zhiyin Xuan Courtyard.

Izuku was still a little hesitant, because the princess had not yet washed, and before she could ask, Primrose pulled her back.

"Sister Xiu, don't worry, the princess often stays alone when she is upset, and if you need to, someone will call us."

Izuku looked around the courtyard where there was not even a human figure, "The people in this courtyard have all driven the princess away, if the princess really needs us, who will know?" ”

Primrose shook her head, "There are still maids on duty outside, and if the princess wants to use people, there will never be no one." ”

In fact, there is a team of shadow guards in the place where you can't see it, but the teaching that Primrose has received in the palace since she was a child is that there is no such thing as being a shadow guard at any time, and she can't mention it to anyone.

Xiao Yunjiao opened the window, and Shen Yuzhou immediately turned in with agility.

"You're about to use this place in the palace as the back garden of the Shen Mansion, right?"

Turning through the window is smoother than walking.

"Still angry?" Shen Yuzhou looked at her expression carefully.

Xiao Yunjiao Shi Ran sat back at the table, "What's so angry, it's just a group of girls who only know how to be in the limelight." ”

Shen Yuzhou couldn't help laughing, "If you're really not angry, how will you know why I asked that?" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yunjiao to change his temperament, he took out a box like a trick, "Okay, let's see what I brought you?" ”

Xiao Yunjiao rolled up his sleeves, opened the box, and immediately saw two lotus lamps in the box.

The layers of petals are dyed in light to dark pink and put together to form a blooming lotus flower, and at the stamen is a small candle. The two leaf-shaped pieces of iron are fixed to the left and right of the candle, and they will hug each other until they are burned out, and they will not let the flames spread and burn the lantern.

This lamp was originally a common thing placed in the lake on the day of folk festivals to make wishes and pray for blessings, but now it is carefully packed in a box with some exquisite meaning.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she reached out to take one of them in her hand.

"What to do with it." said this, but had no intention of letting go.

Shen Yuzhou didn't speak, picked up the other lamp in the box, pulled up Xiao Yunjiao and walked out.

The hand he held Xiao Yunjiao's wrist deliberately lightened his strength, and he could break free with a slight struggle. But Xiao Yunjiao's legs involuntarily followed him, and he didn't ask where he was going, so he followed him to the pond in the back garden.

Shen Yuzhou helped her and carefully led the person to the carefully stacked stones by the pool.

"Originally, I would put lights on the lake after the boat tour today, but I was troubled, and I came back without putting the lights." Shen Yuzhou blew the fire fold, lit the wick, and handed the lamp to her, "Make it up for you." ”

Xiao Yunjiao took the lit lotus lamp and held it in her hand, and a small cluster of flames jumped and waved in the center of the lotus, reflecting on her jade-like side face. Shen Yuzhou looked at it intently, and saw that her eyebrows were crooked, her expression was brisk, and her whole body exuded a pleasant atmosphere.

Shen Yuzhou said with a smile, "Make a wish." ”

Xiao Yunjiao held the lotus lantern, closed her eyes gently, and made a wish in her heart seriously-

May Xunguang be pro-government as soon as possible, and may ...... See the prosperity of the world with the people you like.

Leaning over and gently putting the lotus lantern into the pool, Xiao Yunjiao looked at Shen Yuzhou, "Why don't you make a wish?" ”

The lamp in his hand had not yet been lit.

Shen Yuzhou lit the lotus lamp in his hand and handed it to her again, "My wish is also sent to you." ”

Xiao Yunjiao's eyes moved, and he only felt that his eyes were smoked by the small flames at the tip of the candle, and his eyes were very sour. She took the second lamp, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes by lowering her head and putting it down, and got up and closed her eyes again.

But this time she didn't say it in her heart.

"May the mountains and rivers be eternal, and those who care about them will always be happy and healthy."

She made a wish word by word, opened her eyes and looked directly at Shen Yuzhou, her red lips slightly raised, "I asked for a lot, I don't know if your river lantern can bear it." ”

Shen Yuzhou and her were both squatting on the edge of the pool, and the two small lotus lanterns shimmered faintly in the dark night, drifting away along the inner canal.

"Although the river lantern is small, it can also go down the river, it seems that your wish must be smooth."

Shen Yuzhou got up and reached out to pull up Xiao Yunjiao, who was still squatting on the ground, and saw that her depression had dissipated a lot, so he was relieved to mention today's matter.

"The person who jumped into the lake is called He Lian, and she is the daughter of He Yinming, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple."

"The daughter of the fifth rank official can also mix up with Cui Shuyao?" Xiao Yunjiao said as he walked, "Just looking at today's actions, you can see that this He Lian has some means, plus being on Cui Shuyao's boat, it is enough to see that this person is not shallow." It's a pity...... She hit the people around Hongu. ”

Shen Yuzhou said again: "After He Lian returned to her house, she closed her door, and the He family has not moved much at present, so I think I will wait for two days to recuperate and then come to thank you." ”

"Shane? Thank me? Xiao Yunjiao chuckled, "Look at it, not only will they not thank me, but they will also hate to scold me." ”

Shen Yuzhou has been fighting outside all the year round, and he doesn't know the twists and turns between these boudoirs, and he can think that stopping Fu Mingyuan from entering the water to save people is already smart, and it is difficult to think of the deeper concerns of these noble girls.

In many cases, whether or not you can do it, whether you want to do it or not, is not up to a person's will.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xiao Yunjiao simply said, "Do you want to make a bet?" If they come to the door in two days to thank you, you win, and if they denounce me, you win? ”

At this time, the two of them just walked back to the door of the dormitory, the candle in the hall was not extinguished, and by the dim yellow candlelight at the door, Shen Yuzhou saw the delicate palm she stretched out towards herself, and the cunning starry eyes staring at her.

Those eyes were brighter than candles, as if they were full of stars. Shen Yuzhou unconsciously moved a step forward, closer to the owner of those eyes......

"Okay."

Without a hint of hesitation, he stretched out his big hand and lightly touched it, making a bet that he didn't know what the bet was.
