"Xu Ying." Tao Lian replied, "She is a candidate for the crown prince's side concubine, so it's very appropriate for me to invite her to go with me." ”

Xi'er frowned when she heard this, looked at the simple appearance of the fifth girl, and couldn't help but remind: "Fifth girl, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only invited you, the slave maid thinks that it is good for you to go by yourself, but there is no need to invite others, so as not to make His Highness unhappy." ”

Tao Lian said with some distress: "But、But I don't want to be alone with the prince......"

Especially thinking of what happened in the Gu family last night, asking her to face Qi Yan alone again, she was a little uncomfortable.

That's why she wanted to ask Tao Yao to accompany her.

But Tao Yao is pregnant, and it is really inappropriate to accompany her to go boating.

The second sister only got married yesterday, so it is even more impossible to accompany her.

As for the third sister, she is even worse, her morning sickness is severe.

After thinking about it, she felt that Xu Ying was suitable.

But Xi'er has a point.

She rashly took Xu Ying with her to the appointment, in case she annoyed the prince, it would be even worse.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your husband-in-law, and the fifth girl doesn't need to be afraid." Xi'er encouraged.

"That, that's it, the fourth sister is still sleeping, then I won't bother, I'll go back first." Tao Lian got up and said.

"Fifth girl, these pastries, the slave maid asked you to pack them up and take them to eat on the road." Xi'er said.

"Okay." Tao Lian did not refuse.

She thought that she would have something to eat, and when she got along with Qi Yan when the time came, she would not be so embarrassed.

Xi'er knew that she liked to eat, so in addition to bringing her pastries, she also thoughtfully packed some snacks for her and put them in a cloth bag for her to carry crossbody.

Tao Lian looked at the bulging cloth bag on her body, and was very happy, "Xi'er, you are so sweet, I like this cloth bag very much." ”

Xi'er said with a smile: "The fifth girl should be careful when she goes out, and have fun with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Hmm." Tao Lian nodded, reached out and touched the cloth bag on his waist, and couldn't put it down.

Xi'er sent her all the way to the gate of the mansion, and when she boarded the carriage and walked away, she returned to the mansion with confidence.

"Miss Tao Wu is really a simple girl, she doesn't seem to have any worries, every time she sees her, she is happy." Dong'er smiled.

"Yes, among the young ladies of the Tao family, the fifth girl is the most carefree girl, and at the same time, she is also easy to satisfy." Xi'er also smiled.

However, thinking that Tao Lian had just mentioned Xu Ying, she felt that she would have to report to her young lady for a while.

Tao Yao woke up near noon.

Dong'er was on duty last night and went to rest, so Xi'er brought other maids to serve Tao Yao to wash and eat.

After Tao Yao finished eating, Xi'er waved away the other maids and said to Tao Yao: "Miss, when you haven't woken up yet, the fifth girl has come. ”

Tao Yao was surprised: "What about her now?" ”

"The slave maid Gu Xiao Miss slept soundly and didn't wake you up, and the fifth girl sat for a while and went back." Xi'er said.

"Pity came to me suddenly, is there something wrong?" Tao Yao asked.

Xi'er nodded, "According to the fifth girl, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited her to go rafting today, and she didn't dare to be alone with the Prince, so she came to find you to accompany her."

The slave told her that you were pregnant and it was not appropriate to go boating, so she dispelled the idea of asking you to accompany her, but the fifth girl wanted the Xu Ying girl to accompany her, but the slave stopped her. ”

Hearing this, Tao Yao nodded, "You did a good job, you really should stop it." ”

Xi'er was relieved to see that she didn't blame herself.

"But Miss, the fifth girl is not defensive against that Miss Xu Rong at all, the slave maid always feels that it is not appropriate, that Miss Xu Ying will also marry into the East Palace in the future and become the prince's side concubine, even if she doesn't tear her face, she and the fifth girl are also in a competitive relationship."

"You're right, next time I see Pity, I'll mention her." Tao Yao said.

Xi'er's concerns are right, she thinks the same way, but Xi'er said that Xu Ying already has someone she likes, and it is helpless to be made the prince's concubine.

But people's hearts are the most unpredictable, who knows if what Xu Ying said is true, or if it is true, will she change?

In short, it is indispensable to guard against people.

……

Tao Lian looked at the gorgeous and luxurious painting boat in front of him, and was a little surprised.

"Your Highness, didn't you mean rafting?" After a while, she came back to her senses, looked at Qi Yan, and was puzzled.

The corners of Qi Yan's lips hooked slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "You don't like it?" ”

Tao Lian looked at the boat, swallowed her saliva, and said honestly, "I like it very much." ”

"If you like it, it's fine." Qi Yan stretched out his hand, held her little hand, and took her to the painting boat.

When he arrived at the painting boat, Tao Lian felt that his eyes were not enough to see.

This painting boat is really the most gorgeous painting boat she has ever seen in her life.

Not to mention the luxurious decoration everywhere, there is everything.

There are reception rooms, cabins for recreation, and cabins for rest.

Tao Lian looked over one by one, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately turned his head to look at Qi Yan who was following behind him, "Your Highness, did you lease or buy this painting boat?" ”

"It's not a lease, it's not a purchase, it's made by His Royal Highness specially looking for a craftsman for Tao Wu's girl." The prince's entourage on the side replied with a smile.

Tao Lian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qi Yan in surprise, "You asked someone to do it for me?" ”

Without waiting for Qi Yan to answer, she suddenly turned around and returned to the cabin that Fang Cai used for recreation.

She picked up a beautiful deck of playing cards from the table, something she should have thought of.

This poker is the result of her fourth sister, and not many people know that when they went to Linzhou that day, the prince played together.

So even this playing card was prepared by the prince?

Looking at the delicate and strange things in the recreation room, Tao Lian was a little happy in his heart.

She put down her playing cards, and as soon as she turned, she crashed into a solid embrace.

She was stunned, and when the familiar crisp fragrance entered her nose, she came back to her senses, and her little face suddenly turned red.

She hurriedly wanted to retreat, but was hugged by Qi Yan.

"I asked someone to make this boat for you, do you still like it?" Qi Yan looked down at the girl in his arms, his eyes crossed with pleasure.

Tao Lian's heart was pounding, she was distressed and sweet, but she obeyed the human heart, nodded, and said honestly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for bothering me, I like it very much." ”

"If you like it, this painting boat will be yours from now on." Qi Yan's gaze fell on the red cloud on her face, paused, and then fell on her red and soft lips.

"Really give it to me?" Tao Lian raised her eyes and looked at him uncertainly.

"Of course it's true." Qi Yan closed his eyes slightly, hiding the heat rolling in his eyes.

"So, can I invite someone to play in the future?" Tao Lian looked at him expectantly, and he had already thought in his mind that he must call a few sisters to play together.

"It's up to you." Qi Yan curled his lips and smiled, and said good-naturedly.

Looking at the smile on his lips as bright as the moon, Tao Lian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Your Highness is really good-looking, where can those talents described in the book compare to him?
