The sun was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes, Zhao Kezhen pulled Rong Zhan around the lotus pond for a long time, but there was still no trace of Princess Chenxiang and Yuan Xi, stopped, and faintly heard the sound of playfulness and jokes coming from the lotus pond.

Only then did they know that the two of them went to the Lotus Heart Terrace.

The lotus heart platform was originally a bluestone carved lotus platform, which was located alone in the lotus pond. Every time the summer lotus blooms, the lotus heart platform is hidden in the layers of lotus leaves, standing on the lotus heart platform, you can pick a lotus flower at your fingertips, it is a wonderful place to enjoy the lotus in summer.

Zhao Kezhen lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, went down a path covered by clusters of lotus leaves and lotus flowers, opened a cluster of lotus flowers, and caught a glimpse of two girls in red Luo skirts.

I smiled in my heart, but I told her to find it easily, it turned out to be here.

Princess Chenxiang had just broken off a goose-yellow ice lotus flower with small silver scissors and pinched it in her hand.

"I heard the second brother say, you are the best at inserting bottles, I will fold some of my favorites, how about you insert them for me?"

Yuan Xi nodded, and when he saw that there was a table in the center of the table, he put the small silver scissors in his hand on the table.

In fact, Yuan Xi has never arranged flowers in front of Rong Zhan, and he has never asked, but he saw that she often placed some strange bottles in her store, and he could roughly guess that it was from Yuan Xi's hand.

Princess Chenxiang pinched the two delicate white lotuses on her fingertips, compared them for a moment, let go of one, folded the other with small silver scissors, and rested it on the table.

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Folding flowers has always been the best one, and flowers are also people, so it can be seen that people should not be too outstanding." ”

Princess Chenxiang inserted Bingjiao in a plum green pan bottle, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you will be crazy by the sun, and you have to do some knowledge in flower arrangement." ”

Rong Zhan hid behind the lotus leaf and stood for a long time, no matter how she looked at her, she was not as unbearable as she said, but what she broke off with herself for, Rong Zhan didn't know.

Zhao Kezhen hooked the corners of her lips, what a coincidence, she was also appreciating lotus.

Rong Zhan glanced at Zhao Kezhen and put his hand on her shoulder. Zhao Kezhen is petite, so her whole body shrinks into Rong Zhan's arms. Zhao Kezhen snuggled up to Rong Zhan with a smirk on her face that the daughter of a rich family is accustomed to: "Your Highness, we haven't gotten married yet, if people see this, how bad is it?"

Rong Zhan still said lightly: "What are you afraid of, you will marry this king soon, who dares to gossip?"

Princess Chenxiang just turned her head, looked at Rong Zhan blankly, and then looked at Yuan Xi. What does that mean?

Yuan Xi pinched a flower from the lotus pond and was about to turn around, but was pulled by Princess Chenxiang. The princess pointed to a purple lotus flower in the lotus pond: "Yuanxi, help me pinch that flower down." ”

"Good. ”

Won-hee didn't notice it, just bent down to help her pinch the flowers.

Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't look back, Zhao Kezhen was a little unhappy and pulled Rong Zhan to this side. Princess Chenxiang didn't want to let them bump into each other, so she was in a hurry to call Wonxi back to the palace. But Zhao Kezhen's footsteps were brisk, and she bumped into each other after three or two rounds.

"Second brother, what did you bring out?" Princess Chenxiang was a little angry.

Princess Chenxiang has always spoken politely, and even said that Zhao Kezhen is not a thing. Although these words sounded harsh, Zhao Kezhen didn't dare to refute them, after all, people didn't scold themselves by name, right?

"What's it?" Rong Zhan didn't react for a while.

Chen Xiang sneered: "I mean, what are you doing here?"

"What are you doing, why not take a walk with the future princess of this king?" Although Rong Zhan was speaking to Princess Chenxiang, his eyes kept looking at Yuan Xi.

"But you weren't ...... before," Princess Miyaka was stunned for a moment.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Rong Zhan lowered his jaw slightly, looking angry.

Princess Chenxiang was so angry with him that she pouted: "Yuanxi, let's go." ”

What's the use of being angry with Princess Chenxiang? Wonxi was still indifferent. Chenxiang pulled Yuan Xi to take a few steps, and was stopped by Rong Zhan: "When you see this king, won't your knees bend?"

Zhao Kezhen saw that he couldn't get off the stage for Yuan Xi, so he also echoed: "That's it, Princess Chenxiang is the sister of His Royal Highness, so it's okay not to salute." Wei Yuanxi, you are a little county lord, you don't even say hello when you see the prince, you can't be too polite, right?" she sneered: "No wonder, the daughter of a merchant just doesn't understand the rules and is born cheap." ”

"What are you talking about!?" Chen Xiang narrowed her eyes: "Second brother, your princess is really a big rule! In front of this princess, it's too presumptuous, right?!"

Rong Zhan exhaled lightly, ignoring Chenxiang, he just stared at Yuan Xi. Even if she showed weakness a little, he wouldn't embarrass her for half a sentence, even if it was just a look of help?

She knelt down slowly, bowed down and kowtowed: "The courtier Wei Yuanxi knocked to see Prince Duan, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Rong Zhan was stunned.

"Yuan Xi ......" Princess Chenxiang was very unhappy in her heart, and she glanced at Rong Zhan fiercely. I really don't know what her second brother thinks, obviously the two of them can't let go of each other, why do you want to pull out a Zhao Kezhen to deliberately anger her?

Zhao Kezhen looked down at Yuan Xi, feeling quite proud, originally, a pariah from a small family, once he was so successful, he even forgot who he was, and he dared to seduce Prince Duan?

Yuan Xi dusted off the hem of his skirt and stood up: "May I ask the prince, can the courtiers retire?"

Rong Zhan was speechless for a while, and looked at Yuan Xi at a loss. Her heart is like iron, and she refuses to eat hard and soft.

"Wait, you haven't bowed to this princess yet. Zhao Kezhen suddenly came out and stepped sideways.

"Don't get an inch, there's nothing wrong with you here!" said Chenxiang with a slight anger.

"Why is it none of my business?" Zhao Kezhen gently grabbed Chenxiang: "Princess, you are the golden branch and jade leaf, and the sister of His Royal Highness, we are a serious family." Why are you speaking for an outsider? No, you devalue your status. ”

"Don't pull and pull with this princess, who is the same family as you?" Princess Miyaka shook off her hand and took a few steps back.

"Won-hee, let's go. ”

"Don't go!" Zhao Kezhen pressed step by step.

"Zhao Kezhen, you are presumptuous!" Princess Chenxiang was in front of Yuan Xi, and she didn't know where she got such courage at such a young age.

"Your Royal Highness......" Zhao Kezhen's identity is not good, and she can't deal with Chenxiang, so she can only be coquettish to Rong Zhan.

Her persecution put Rong Zhan in a dilemma, on the one hand, he wanted to borrow Zhao Kezhen to Qi Yuanxi, but on the other hand, he couldn't break Princess Chenxiang's face.

As soon as he hesitated, Yuan Xi suddenly took a few steps forward: "Miss Zhao, since you are talking to me about humility, then I will talk to you about it." His Royal Highness is the prince, and it is only natural for me to kneel to His Highness. But you are just an official lady in Shangshu Mansion. If you want to bow down, you have to kneel to me. Just now, the county lord has already bowed to the prince, Miss Zhao, it's your turn now. ”

Zhao Kezhen was stunned for a moment, looking like she had eaten mahjong tiles. Miyaka couldn't help but giggle: "yes, it's time for you to kneel!"

Zhao Kezhen was angry in her heart, and asked her to kneel down as a businessman's daughter?! Isn't this a great shame, she is the princess of Duan, maybe she is still the future crown princess, and she wants her to kneel down a person from a pariah background?!

"Your Highness!" Zhao Kezhen shouted at Rong Zhanjiao again.

Chenxiang rubbed her ears: "Don't don't, don't be coquettish, how old are you, do you know how ashamed you are?"

Rong Zhan stared at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi also met his gaze, electric and flint, without showing weakness.

"What?, Miss Zhao, aren't you kneeling yet?" Yuan Xi looked at Xiao Rongzhan.

Zhao Kezhen turned her face and pulled Rong Zhan's sleeve very aggrievedly, but she asked for help to no avail.

Yuan Xi said indifferently: "Miss Zhao, the lord of this county is the emperor's edict, don't you like the humility the most, then you kneel? Even if His Royal Highness feels sorry for Miss Miss, he will not abolish the Huanghuang Rite Sect, right?"

"I am the future princess Duan, you are just a little county lord, and you dare to show off your might in front of His Royal Highness?" Zhao Kezhen hid behind Rong Zhan.

Yuan Xi sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, the wedding ceremony hasn't been held yet." Since it hasn't been held yet, you are not Prince Duan, Miss Zhao, when your ceremony is over, I will kneel to you again. But until then, you'll have to kneel to me. ”

Zhao Kezhen saw that Rong Zhan really had no intention of stopping him, so he could only kneel down very reluctantly: "People's daughter Zhao, knock to see the lord of Donglin." ”

"Get up. ”

Zhao Kezhen stood up provocatively, gritted his teeth, and raised a pair of beautiful eyes: "County Lord, I advise you, don't be too arrogant, you have to leave a way out for yourself." ”

Yuan Xi raised his chin slightly: "Miss Zhao, I also advise you, don't always think about bullying people, because you may not have this ability." ”

Princess Chenxiang glanced at her and pulled Yuan Xi: "Let's go." ”

"Princess, county lord ......" It was the young eunuch next to the emperor who came, and he gasped twice: "The prince is also here, please say hello to the prince." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Miyaka.

The young eunuch smiled: "Back to the princess, the emperor said that everything is ready, let the county lord take a look." ”

"What is it?" said Miyaka winks curiously.

"It's just a degree on the road, the emperor said, what else does the county lord need, just ask, the little slave to prepare. "The weather is hot, and the young eunuch wipes his sweat one by one.

"On the way?" Rong Zhan asked, "Where are you going?"

Miyaka pouted and pushed Yuan Xi: "Ignore him, let's go, let's take a look." ”

"Slow," Rong Zhan paused, "Is this how you answered this king's question?"

Princess Chenxiang paused, glanced at Zhao Kezhen, and shouted with a sneer: "Miss Zhao, have you seen it, your fiancé is caring about other girls." ”

Zhao Kezhen tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Your Highness?"

Rong Zhan glared at Princess Chenxiang: "You dodge." ”

"I don't. Chen Xiang stretched out her hand to stop it, and said in a low voice: "Why do you want to quarrel when you care so much about it?"

"What do you know!" Rong Zhan frowned.

"Take care of your Miss Zhao," Chen Xiang snorted: "Yuanxi, let's go." ”

"Don't go!" Rong Zhan stepped forward to stop him.

"Ah!" Suddenly Zhao Kezhen screamed sharply, and then there was a huge sound of water behind him, and when everyone turned around, Zhao Kezhen was no longer on the shore. In the water, a small figure fluttered up and down: "Your Highness, Your Highness save me!" Zhao Kezhen choked a few mouthfuls of water.

"Why don't you go and save someone!?" asked Princess Chenka.
