I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Bai Zhi could finally have a good meal without the interruption of the dancing girl, but Meng Ying's burning gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Bai Zhi originally chose to ignore it and was comfortable eating alone. But as she ate, she felt that Meng Ying at this moment was like a little mushroom waiting to pick up bones under the table. The expectant look in her eyes was... a bit hard to refuse.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Bai Zhi spoke first, "Why are you looking at me!"

"I want to eat meat..." Meng Ying looked a little aggrieved.

Believe it or not!

Bai Zhi smacked her lips, making a very delicious look, "These chicken legs are so delicious!"

Meng Ying was helpless, sighed slightly, and then started watching the song and dance.

Bai Zhi felt a little disappointed when she saw him watching the song and dance, and her eating movements became more exaggerated, for fear that she would not be able to make any noise.

Meng Ying raised the corner of her mouth, the fish took the bait, and slowly said, "Yanwan is as graceful as flying, and Lihua is graceful with her sleeves upturned."

Bai Zhi: "Oh."

"Xiayi turned around on the mat, Hua Xiuxue went to the front..." Meng Ying added another sentence.

"When I'm full, I won't disturb the prince's pleasure in reciting poems." Bai Zhi suddenly stood up and said softly, saluted Meng Ying, then turned and left.

The whole process was smooth and smooth, with nothing inappropriate at all.

Meng Ying shook her head, laughed dumbly, and chased after him.

At night, the lanterns on both sides of the river are even more gorgeous, colorful and shining.

Although Bai Zhi ran away, she didn't know where to go on this boat.

The river breeze blew with a faint fishy smell. Bai Zhi lay on the railing and watched the pairs of lanterns moving a hundred meters away, feeling an inexplicable feeling of grievance.

The summer festival is dedicated to the river god at the bottom of the river, praying for it to flow into the earth with vitality and nourish all things. People will put down lanterns with expectations in the river to tell their wishes to the earth.

She had even thought about her wish, but she didn't expect to quarrel with Meng Ying.

Although she and the prince had been inseparable these days, she could still feel the estrangement faintly.

He was worried about many things, and there were some things he was willing to talk about, and she listened. He didn't want to talk, so she waited.

She always felt that the days were still long and everything could be done slowly.

So angry!

Do you want to surrender yourself first? No matter what, she still wanted to tell the River God her wish, just in case it came true!

A gust of summer wind came, the boat swayed slightly, and Bai Zhi took a wrong step.

But in the next moment, she fell into a familiar embrace.

It is the most familiar and elegant sandalwood scent, which is extremely reassuring. She didn't need to open her eyes to know it was him.

"Why are you still crying?" Meng Ying patted her on the back.

"You're too much!" Bai Zhi buried herself in his chest, her voice choked with sobs.

"I'm sorry, it's all Sa Lan's fault. Sa Lan made the princess suffer." He coaxed softly.

"Ah."

"It was Sa Lan who had a temper first, which made the princess angry."

"Ah."

"It's Sa Lan who shouldn't have praised the dancer for her beautiful dancing and deliberately offended the princess."

"Ah."

There was silence.

"No more?" Bai Zhi raised her head, her eyes dim and touching with tears.

"What else? Princess, please remind me?"

"Shen Qingli!"

Well, Meng Ying held her forehead and really didn't know how to admit this mistake. After a long while, he said, "Well, it was the teenage Salan who was too handsome that made the princess angry."

Bai Zhi pushed Meng Ying away and said coquettishly, "You are so shameless!"

Meng Ying reached out and rubbed the tip of her nose, smiling heartily and brightly, "The princess said yes. Come, follow Sa Lan to a place!"

The lights of the cruise ship flickered and danced, reflecting the lingering light. He had a beautiful smile, with bright eyes and white teeth, and his dark eyebrows were slightly raised.

Bai Zhi felt a little dazed, as if this smile was the real him, and this smile should have belonged to him.

More than a dozen painted boats were connected. Meng Ying led Bai Zhi and ran past one boat after another. When they came to the last boat, the two jumped into a small boat.

It was like going on an adventure, which made Bai Zhi look forward to it.

It's just that Bai Zhi never expected that this little leaf boat would have to be rowed by herself!

"Princess, row quickly!"

"My hands are sore! I can't paddle!" Bai Zhi said angrily.

"You have to row even if your hands are sore. The time to set off the fireworks will come in a moment. It would be a shame to miss it!"

He was as excited as a child.

What else can be done! We are all on this pirate ship, so we can only row!

The two of them worked hard for a while before they reached a bend in the river.

Bai Zhi felt that her hands were shaking. She would be unable to lift her hands tomorrow due to excessive accumulation of lactic acid.

"Is this right here?" Bai Zhi pursed her lips. This place was ordinary and she was extremely dissatisfied.

Meng Ying smiled slightly, took out a peach from her sleeve and handed it to Bai Zhi, "Take a rest first and wait."

Bai Zhi took the peach, wiped it on her clothes, and drank it directly.

As soon as she took the first bite, the sweet juice of the fresh peach exploded in her mouth. In front of Bai Zhi's eyes, a bunch of fireworks roared across the night, soared into the sky, and instantly ignited the night sky.

In an instant, the stars and the moon were eclipsed.

Bai Zhi held the peach flesh in her mouth, she couldn't even moan, her hands and feet were no longer sore, she was just dancing with excitement.

Cluster after cluster of fireworks bloomed one after another, dizzying.

Meng Ying rested on the side of the boat with her arms folded, staring intently at Bai Zhi and the fireworks that became the background, with the corners of her mouth raised.

Bai Zhi complained that she was tired, so she also lay down with Meng Ying, resting on his arm, watching the fireworks together.

"Your Majesty, I didn't accept Zhuo Yao's jade pendant today." Bai Zhi suddenly felt that she should explain clearly.

"Salan knows."

"Then you're still angry!" Bai Zhi felt aggrieved, "I thought you were angry and wouldn't care about me anymore."

"I'm not angry. Sa Lan just feels that I'm not as good to you as that kid Zhuo Yao."

Meng Ying told the truth, Zhuo Yao gave this jade pendant, which is equivalent to giving Bai Zhi a token of Zhennan Palace. This shows that if Bai Zhi is in trouble, he is willing to use the power of the Zhennan Palace to help her regardless of position.

And he, Meng Ying, seemed to be unable to do anything.

Bai Zhi hugged Meng Ying tightly, "The prince is talking nonsense, you have been very good to me, I will take it and return it to him tomorrow!"

"You don't have to pay it back! You got it for free, don't give it up for free!" Meng Ying smiled slyly.

"Is this good?" Bai Zhi asked uncertainly.

"There's nothing wrong with it! This jade has been blessed by a master. It can ward off evil spirits and protect people's health. You are weak, so take it with you. Maybe it can also cure your head ailments!"

"So mysterious?" Bai Zhi didn't want to be superstitious.

"Zhuo Yao never got sick when he was a child. When he grows up, he doesn't know anymore." Meng Ying sighed with emotion.

Bai Zhi nodded doubtfully, and then told Meng Ying about her encounter with Princess Xuan and Qifeng Hall today.

"My lord, you haven't seen that the workers who were crushed were so pitiful. Some of them had their limbs broken and they didn't know how they would live in the future. That man still had four or five children! The little girl even asked his father if his legs were good. It won’t grow back, just hearing it makes me sad..."

Meng Ying was in a good mood today.

But when I heard this paragraph, the corner of my mouth that had been raised all night froze on my face, and then slowly lowered it bit by bit.

"My lord, tell me, how could such a good house collapse so easily?"

Meng Ying's throat was a little tight, and he swallowed, "Maybe... maybe the wood was eaten by insects..."

"Then what will happen to Shen Qingli's father?"

"You will be executed." Meng Ying answered somewhat mechanically.

"That's because he embezzled money from the construction!"

"Well, you deserve it." Meng Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just pity the uninformed workers. They don't know anything and are just involved in this disaster for no reason." Bai Zhi sighed with emotion.

For a moment, Meng Ying's heart felt like it was being squeezed by a pair of hands. It was so painful that it felt like he was suffocating. No matter how many times he swallowed, he felt that his throat was blocked and he couldn't open his mouth at all.

After a long while, he hummed "Yeah."
