The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Yuan Yu’s painted boat was indeed very exquisite.

The pleasure boat, which can accommodate dozens of people, is not only spacious but also very prosperous.

Whether it is the layers of curtains on the pleasure boat, or the tables, chairs, coffee tables, even the teacups and wine cups for drinking tea and wine, they are all made of very high-quality materials.

Because we didn’t invite any singers today.

Apart from them, there were only some maids serving them on the pleasure boat.

But these maids were also dressed very beautifully, each of them wearing beautiful dresses, with complicated hair buns, holding trays in their hands, and they came in one after another, smiling as they shuttled around on the pleasure boat.

Ming Jin and others have already boarded the pleasure boat.

The pleasure boat has also returned to the center of the lake.

Just like when I came here before.

The other pleasure boats on both sides, seeing this pleasure boat coming, all moved to the sides.

When those who knew them saw them coming, they quickly put down their wine cups, stood up and bowed to them.

There is a lot of trouble behind me.

The discussions, which were whispered in low voices, reached Mingjin's ears along with the evening breeze.

Occasionally, I hear people trying to find out her identity.

Although they had not seen the scene on the shore before, they were obviously very surprised to see her standing next to Gu Mingheng.

Mingjin heard it but ignored it.

She sat in the painted boat, looking at the scenery on both sides.

Jinshui Lake is a scenic spot in the capital. The water is clear and the lake surface is wide. Different scenery can be seen here in all four seasons.

In spring, willows sway along the banks of Jinshui Lake, and you can often see people breaking willow branches to send off their loved ones.

In the Jinshui Lake in summer, the lotus leaves are pointed.

The dragonfly stepped on the lotus flowers, passing over clusters of lotus flowers in full bloom.

Even in autumn and winter, there are different scenery.

Although the scenery in the lake cannot be seen at night, the shops on both sides are brightly lit, and the surrounding pleasure boats float on the water, shining with lights and dazzling the eyes. Looking out from the pleasure boat where they are, they can see the bustling and laughing pedestrians on the long street in the distance, as if they are in another space, which is also quite charming.

It's even more impressive than looking at the scenery of the lake during the day.

At this time, the pleasure boat was parked in the center of the lake, opposite which was Huaxiao Tower.

Looking from afar.

The lights in Huaxiao Tower were as bright as day, and the place was bustling with people.

And on the extended terrace, there were already dancers in gorgeous clothes and complicated buns dancing gracefully.

"Would you like tea or wine?" the maid asked gently.

Ming Jin was originally watching the courtesan dancing at Hua Xiao Lou. He turned to look when he heard the noise.

There was a wine jug and a teapot on the tray. Ming Jin did not hesitate and replied simply, "Tea."

The maid agreed softly.

While waiting for the maid to pour the tea, Ming Jin glanced to his side.

Seeing Mingrong glance at the opposite side, and then his eyes moved slightly and fell on the wine pot, before Mingrong spoke, Mingjin said in a calm voice: "Please change the tea for my two sisters."

The maid knew that she was of noble status and would not disobey her wishes.

Mingrong, however, looked at Mingjin with dissatisfaction.

But thinking that her expression might be seen by the men opposite, she quickly restrained her expression and continued to act obedient and docile.

There were people toasting each other on the opposite side.

Since getting on the pleasure boat, Yuan Ci and others treated Gu Mingheng as the most respected person and invited him to the main seat.

At this time, Ming Jin and the rest of the Ming family were sitting aside.

Gu Mingheng, Yuan Ci, Gu Changxuan and others were sitting opposite them.

Compared to the quietness on Ming Jin's side, it is much more lively on Yuan Yu's side. Yuan Yu and Gu Changye are people who cannot stand loneliness, and Ming Jingting is also a free and unrestrained person.

The three of them didn't have much contact with each other before, but after chatting a lot today, they seemed to hit it off right away.

The three of them are hanging out together now, it's quite lively.

The entire boat was filled with their laughter.

Yuan Ci, like Gu Mingheng, was a taciturn person. He did not hang out with his younger brothers at the moment. He only drank and chatted with Gu Mingheng occasionally. Most of the time, he just drank by himself.

Gu Changxuan is the same as before.

He can both keep quiet and interrupt, and he can be seen on both sides.

From his angle, he could just see Mingjin's figure.

I took a quick glance at her from the shore earlier and didn't see her face clearly.

But at this moment, sitting diagonally opposite, looking at Ming Jin's stunningly beautiful face, even Gu Changxuan couldn't help but feel amazed at her appearance.

His ex-fiancée was indeed very beautiful.

Gu Changxuan actually doesn't care much about appearance.

To him, a woman's appearance is just the icing on the cake. What matters to him most now is whether she is useful to him.

Mingyao is intelligent and able to judge the situation. She comes from a humble background and people will not be afraid of her. Moreover, she has some relationship with Master Yunshang, and people will think that he is a loyal and righteous man. Why not marry her?

Besides, what is beauty?

With power in his hands, if he ascends the throne one day, what kind of beauty will he not be able to possess?

He knew that his relationship with Mingjin was awkward.

The two should have had the closest relationship, but due to some strange coincidences, it turned out to be like this.

For him, the best thing was to be polite to Mingjin and not look at him too much.

But I don’t know why.

Looking at her sitting there, his eyes always involuntarily looked towards her.

...I even feel vaguely familiar with it.

It was as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But apart from that time in the palace and the Chang'an Palace, where else had he seen her?

Gu Changxuan couldn't help but frown and think deeply.

He didn't realize that he was still staring at Ming Jin.

The others didn't notice it either.

But how could Mingjin, the person involved, not notice it?

Ming Jin was originally enjoying watching the courtesan dance, but when he turned around he saw Gu Changxuan's disgusting face. He felt that the fragrant tea he had just drank became like swill, disgusting and repulsive.

I can't swallow my food.

Ming Jin didn't know why Gu Changxuan was looking at her, but she didn't want to be stared at by Gu Changxuan any longer.

"Fifth sister."

Ming Jin turned around and talked to Ming Sheng beside him.

Ming Sheng, who had been feeling a little restrained and uneasy since boarding the pleasure boat, only looked up when she heard Ming Jin calling her.

"what happened?"

She asked Ming Jin softly.

"I'll go to the second floor for a while." Ming Jin said to Ming Sheng.

Ming Sheng uttered a soft "ah". She was a little stunned and didn't react. After a while, she said, "I, I will go with you?"

As she spoke, she was about to get up, but her legs and feet felt a little weak, so she sat back down again.

"what happened?"

Ming Jin asked her with a frown.

Ming Sheng supported her knees with her hands, and answered a little embarrassedly: "I don't know, I seem to be a little seasick..." Seeing Ming Jin frowned slightly, she hurriedly said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable, I, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she wanted to get up and go with Mingjin.

But seeing her like this, how could Ming Jin let her accompany him? He put his hand on her arm to stop her from getting up: "Since you are not feeling well, just sit down and rest. I'm fine."

"But……"

Ming Sheng was still a little hesitant.

Ming Jin said, "I'm just going to the second floor to get some fresh air. I'll be back soon. Besides, my ninth brother is still here."

When Ming Sheng heard this, he indeed looked hesitant.

Ming Jin said nothing more, but asked the maid in the pleasure boat to bring some sour candied fruits over.

Ming Jin only stood up after the preserved fruits were delivered.

Chunyu wants to accompany her.

Ming Jin, however, glanced towards Ming Rong.

Chunyu understood what the princess meant and knew that the fourth young lady was afraid that she would cause trouble, so she stopped and continued to stand where she was.

No one else noticed Mingjin's departure, only Gu Mingheng saw Mingjin leave at the first moment.

Hands on knees.

Gu Mingheng was about to get up, but then he thought of something and sat back down.

Yuan Ci beside him noticed his movements and asked curiously: "My Lord, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Gu Mingheng looked at the direction Mingjin left and didn't say anything. He didn't want Mingjin to find him annoying, so he didn't follow him.

The second person to discover Mingjin was missing was Gu Changxuan.

He had come back to his senses at this time and glanced in the direction Ming Jin left. Gu Changxuan didn't want to follow, but when he thought of the disgust he felt before, Gu Changxuan hesitated for a moment and stood up.

Since he has already chosen the path he wants to take, he cannot let Ming Jin ruin his plan.

Gu Changxuan didn’t know what Mingjin meant to Uncle Wang, nor did he know whether her emotions could affect Uncle Wang’s impression of him.

But Gu Changxuan doesn't want any changes or a situation that he can't control.

She's just a woman. Even if she feels resentful about not being able to marry him, it shouldn't be that difficult to deal with.

Just make it clear.

"Uncle Wang, Bo Yin, I'm going out for a while." When Gu Changxuan stood up, he said to Gu Mingheng and Yuan Ci in a generous manner.

Yuan Ci thought he was going to the bathroom, so he nodded without saying anything.

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything until he saw him following Mingjin's footsteps and leaving, then he frowned.

Gu Mingheng placed his hands on his knees again, with his five fingers pressing down and the back of his hands slightly arched, which was a movement for getting up.

But I remembered Changxuan’s expression and attitude before.

Gu Mingheng hesitated for a moment, then sat back down and did not follow.
