On the painting boat, Luo Huaizhou sat behind the desk with a wistful expression, opening and closing his folding fan with a pair in his hand, looking very absent-minded.

There was a woman dressed in costume, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a logo melon seed face flushed with a faint flush, eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like almonds, lowering her eyebrows and peeling the grapes in her hands, revealing a gentle and quiet attitude of everyone's ladies in her gestures.

This woman is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Nanling State - Shi Manzi.

After putting the last peeled grape on the plate, Shi Manzi took the handkerchief handed by the maid next to him and carefully wiped the ten fingers stained with grape juice.

She raised her head and glanced at Luo Huaizhou timidly, then half-lowered her eyes, carefully handed over the fruit plate, and smiled, "Lord Wang, eat some fruit." ”

Luo Huaizhou glanced at the fruit bowl she presented with both hands, frowned, and said with some displeasure: "I...... This king himself is not without hands, and he will peel it when he wants to eat. ”

Shi Manzi's fingers trembled slightly, she lowered her head in panic, and quickly retracted her hand holding the fruit plate, her eyes were faintly red, I don't know if she was frightened or felt wronged, she looked a little pitiful.

Seeing this, Luo Huaizhou also seemed to feel that what he had just said was a little too heavy, and said again: "I mean, you ...... You don't have to be so attentive, you don't have to be so restrained with me. ”

Shi Manzi raised her head a little stunned, the apricot eyes on her beautiful face flashed, she didn't expect that this notoriously dashing Prince Lu was really so informal, and it didn't seem to be the same as those princes and grandsons she knew before.

"Lord Wang! Su Gongzi, they are here! The guard at the door bowed down through the bead curtain and reported to Luo Huaizhou.

Luo Huaizhou didn't notice the excitement in the guard's tone, he folded the fan in his hand, knocked it on the desk, and laughed loudly: "Great, I'll go to meet him!" ”

He stood up as if he were on the verge of amnesty, and stepped straight out the door.

"Miss, shall we follow?" Shi Manzi's maid asked quietly beside her.

Shi Manzi slowly stood up, nodded and said, "Even the prince went to greet him in person, how can we sit here?" Don't be rude. ”

Besides, the name of this Su Gongzi has long been circulated in the mouths of those official ladies, and she is really a little curious about what kind of man can provoke so many women.

Twilight is four, and the lights are on. The last rays of the remnant sun quietly receded, and the red-dyed distant mountains and treetops gradually turned into silhouettes in the night.

Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi both stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the crowded stone bridge in the twilight. When the two figures in front of them came into their eyes, the two of them were stunned in unison.

The woman walking in front of her is misty and cloudy, fairy and jade, and her white immortal long skirt is elegant, like a light cage of smoke, ethereal and intoxicating. The stunning face glows with a fine porcelain luster in the night, the smile on the face is bright and moving, and a pair of beautiful eyes are shining brightly, looking forward to the brilliance, like a nine-day fairy descending to the earth, which makes people dream.

The man behind her was tall and straight, with a feeling of immobility like a distant mountain. There is a pair of very charming peach blossom eyes on that white and flawless face, like the best product carefully carved by the Creator, which is so beautiful that it is beyond the reach of the eye. A body of elegance is enough to make everything in the world bleak.

The shores of the lake are lit up on both sides, and in front of the low-hanging eaves, veiled lanterns are hung high, glowing red in the twilight, illuminating the crowd of pedestrians.

The rippling waters resemble a slightly swaying mirror, reflecting the clusters of flowers and trees and the shade of the trees on the shore. The autumn wind sweeps, the flower branches shake gently, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus fills the air wantonly.

On the bluestone road, beside the blue waves and blue smoke, under the flowers and trees swaying in the wind, and in the reflection of candles, the two figures, one black and one white, walked along the river.

The eyes around them were all condensed on them, some were amazed, some admired, some were envious, and some were jealous...... But no one was abrupt, it seemed that many people had the idea of retreating, and some people even stopped directly in place and watched from a distance, for fear of ruining this beautiful picture.

Luo Huaizhou, who was stunned for a moment before reacting, rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but have a knowing smile on his face.

"Jing Qian!" He waved his hand excitedly at Su Jingqian.

Lin Wanwan followed the prestige, and saw a very handsome young man in brocade standing at the bow of the painting boat with the cornices and corners, waving to them with a bright smile, and there was a gentle and beautiful young woman standing in front of the carved railing next to her, with a faint coquettishness in her eyes, which looked very moving.

The crowd around him gradually thinned out, Lin Wanwan's footsteps were gentle, and he turned around neatly and came to Su Jingqian's side, and whispered in his ear, "This is Prince Lu?" Who is the woman next to her? ”

Su Jingqian was amused by her little action, and raised his lips, and replied: "It's the woman that the Queen Mother asked him to look at, the daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, Shi Manzi." ”

Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows lightly, and glanced at him with a strange expression, "It's not a woman who makes you look at each other, but your name is familiar." ”

Su Jingqian smiled lightly and said nothing.

She gave him a blank look, and was about to walk back to the front, when she heard his voice faintly hear.

"I know the names of the important officials of the Nanling court, the spouses and children in the family."

Lin Wanwan was dumbfounded, too, he had been dormant in Nanling for nearly six years, and I am afraid that he had already figured out the pattern and characters of the Nanling court, where would he not know this.

She touched her nose, sneered, and said, "This Prince Lu doesn't seem to be very satisfied." ”

Lin Wanwan's words were not groundless, she just found out that this Prince Lu didn't seem to like this woman very much, the two were obviously standing on the bow of the boat, but Prince Lu was standing far away from her, and he hadn't even seen him look at her.

She glanced at Luo Huaizhou not far away and quipped, "It seems that he is more enthusiastic about you." ”

Su Jingqian didn't need to look at it to know that Luo Huaizhou must be full of expectations for him to save him, so it should be ...... now Smiling.

A faint smile appeared in his eyes, "He's more curious about you." ”

"Me?" Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him suspiciously, "You mentioned me in front of him?" ”

"He found it himself."

After Su Jingqian finished speaking lightly, he stepped onto the painting boat first, then turned around, stretched out his hand and handed it to her.

Lin Wanwan didn't think about it, and put her hand into his palm without hesitation.

He squeezed her hand and pulled her up with a gentle lift.

The two of them moved in one go, just like when he climbed the green plum tree in the backyard and stood on the branch and stretched out his hand to her with a smile on his eyebrows. Everything seemed so skillful and so natural, so natural that Luo Huaizhou, who was standing aside and taking in all this, widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

Thinking of that time, Su Jingqian had no choice but to cover his mouth with his hand, and later not only wiped and wiped it on him in disgust, but also washed it in water for a long time, as if he wanted to wash off a layer of skin before he stopped. The person who would be displeased if others touched the corner of his clothes on weekdays now did not shy away from reaching out to pick her up......

A sly smile flashed in Luo Huaizhou's pupils.
