Shen Lianyi walked ahead, ostensibly admiring the beautiful scenery around him, but in fact he did not miss the dialogue between Chaoli and Linglong.

But she didn't say anything, but wondered in her head whether the plan on the boat was feasible.

As for the Linglong who is well-known in the capital and has superb chess skills, of course Shen Lianyi has seen it, but she is too jealous of Linglong's beauty, and Linglong did not take the initiative to talk to her, so Shen Lianyi did not greet her.

After walking for a long time, everyone arrived at the location in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, Chaoli has been thinking about things, so he doesn't pay too much attention to the surrounding scenery, the things in his heart are more important, and the scenery won't run.

"Ah Li, look, white peacock."

Song Lingxin pulled a handful of people and pointed not far away.

Chao Li came back to his senses and looked at the place where Song Lingxin pointed his finger.

There is a small puddle in the center, about a meter in size, surrounded by fishing nets to enclose a piece of land, the length and width are more than 20 meters, and even the top of the head has fishing nets, which are supported by bamboo poles.

In the net, there are six white peacocks with white plumage, no variegated feathers, and reddish eyes, one of which is more robust than the other five.

Chaoli has seen some records in the codex, in fact, the white peacock has underdeveloped wings and is not good at flying, but its feet are strong and powerful, and it is good at running quickly, and when fleeing, it mostly strides and gallops, and forages for food in the early morning and dusk.

So the nets above them may not be very useful, presumably just in case.

"That white peacock is very blessed, and there are five wives and concubines." Linglong said suddenly.

Chao Li knew that the white peacock was a polygamous bird, and each male bird lived with about five females, and after hearing Linglong's words, mockery flashed in her eyes.

"The same is true of the men in the world, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, with three or five wives and concubines." Chao Li snorted coldly.

Sure enough, she just doesn't like birds like white peacocks, and she might as well be lovesick birds.

Acacia birds have only one mate in their life, male and female birds are often inseparable, extremely loyal to their partners, if one of them dies, the other will die because of missing their partner in a short time.

Even if it doesn't die, it will never have a companion by its side.

"The words of the princess are also here, thanks to the fact that all the women here are women, if the man hears it, it will be a little rebellious, not to mention that you still become a relative." Linglong's face was full of ridicule, "But the prince has not taken a concubine, and you have been married for less than three months, what is the princess worried about?" ”

Chao Li's expression was faint, "I'm not worried, if the prince wants to take a concubine, I won't be half displeased." Marrying the prince is my high climbing, and I never thought that I could let him guard me for a lifetime, and the Hou Mansion will always have to continue the heirs. However, no one can grab the position of my wife, and the queen mother's marriage is here. ”

After speaking, Chao Li glanced at Shen Lianyi pointedly.

Of course, Shen Lianyi knew what Chaoli meant, and she also understood that she said it on purpose, so she could only grit her teeth secretly.

Linglong smiled heartily, and he was also a person who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so he got to Chao Li's side and began to arch the fire.

"The princess is right, you are the queen mother herself to marry, where can the crooked melons and cracked dates outside compare to you? However, I heard that the premarital relationship between the princess and the princess did not seem to be so good, and it was better after marriage. Also, there is a Taoist prince who seems to be quite close to Miss Shen, and he also rescued Miss Shen who was injured in the Cold Night Temple, won't the princess feel uncomfortable? Linglong said with a smile.

Hearing Linglong say this, the eyes of the other ladies were on her, with a little disapproval, even if it is something that everyone knows, it should not be directly brought to the table.

Now that both parties are here, isn't it unreasonable to make people uncomfortable?

Song Lingxin originally admired Linglong's appearance, but when she heard her words, she suddenly felt as if she had been poured a basin of cold water, and she didn't even care about her appearance.

"Miss Linglong doesn't know that the prince and Miss Shen are innocent and have no relationship. As for Ah Li, it is indeed the queen mother's marriage, which cannot be faked, some people squeeze their heads and want to be the princess, but in the end, it is just a bamboo basket for nothing. Song Ling snorted coldly.

Shen Lianyi listened to it with great fire, and the words of Chaoli and Song Lingxin pierced her heart like sharp arrows.

and Linglong, who leads the war for her everywhere, and both sides are offended by her, this mouth is really annoying.

"Miss Linglong laughed, as Miss Song said between me and the prince, there is really nothing. In the past, the contact was just because of friends, and I believe that the princess will not be misunderstood. Shen Lianyi said with a smile.

It's just that there is always a little more hypocrisy in this smile.

"Oh, I misunderstood." Linglong nodded.

This episode passed quickly, and everyone played separately for the rest of the day.

Chao Li and Gao Rui were together, Song Lingxin was accompanying the other ladies, and Shen Lianyi was still taking the maid to enjoy it alone, and the atmosphere gradually became a lot more harmonious.

As for what was just said, everyone tacitly did not mention it again.

The scenery on the island in the middle of the lake is beautiful, not too big, it is enough to play for an hour and a half, and you can only go back to the painting boat for lunch.

The ladies played, and the maids followed them from a distance, but they did not disturb their elegance.

As far as the pomp and circumstance of going out today is concerned, Chaoli brought two maids, Song Lingxin and others brought one, but Shen Lianyi brought six, and it seemed that his family background was undoubted.

Now everyone is going to return to the painting boat for lunch, not prepared on the painting boat, but there is a charcoal stove on the painting boat, which can be used to heat the dishes.

Today's lunch was prepared by the ladies, and it can be enjoyed after it is heated on the charcoal stove.

As for why he didn't go back to the shore to eat, Gao Rui mainly mentioned that it felt different to eat on the painting boat, and even the food was a lot more fragrant, and it was easy to eat with the beautiful scenery.

This is true, the scenery is beautiful, and people's mood is much better.

Shen Lianyi came up halfway, so she didn't prepare a meal, and she had seven people, so no one really invited her to eat at this time.

"Princess Shizi, you might as well go to my painting boat and sit down, it just so happens that I also have some things to discuss with you, do you think it's convenient?" Linglong suddenly approached Chao Li's side and asked.

Chao Li's expression moved slightly, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

"What does Miss Linglong want to say to me? I don't seem to have a deep friendship with the girl, and I just had a relationship before, so I should have nothing to say. Chaoli refused.

Maybe she thinks too much, but she always feels that Linglong is not simple.

This woman is incomprehensible, she speaks and does things without scruples, but she is different from Gao Rui's straightforwardness.

In general, it's better to be careful.

"Don't be like this, the princess always needs a process to be familiar, don't you want to know the spices on the day of the palace banquet?"
