Enter the red building

The breeze gently brushed the willow branches by the lake, dancing with the wind.The surface of the lake is sparkling, and the reflection in the water is intermittent with the wind, and then it is calm and peaceful.

In a pavilion at the southeast corner of the lake, Shui Linglong is wearing a light purple long dress, wearing a pair of light yellow bright jade hairpins, contemplating her brows, eyes full of autumn water, as quiet as a virgin, sitting on a stone bench, holding a book in her left hand. Chess record, with a piece between the middle fingers of his right hand, thinking about where to put it.A chessboard and a black and white chess box are placed on the stone table in front of the chest. There are already many chess pieces densely packed on the chessboard, criss-crossing, black and white.

Beside Shui Linglong, there are two maids in pink waiting on her, ready to pour water and tea, waiting for Shui Linglong's orders.

The autumn fan dressed in green walked around the lakeshore, passed through the rockery, walked to Shui Linglong with a smile on her face, and said softly: "Princess, Master Liuyunbiao has come to propose marriage!"

"What?" The chess piece in Shui Linglong's hand became unsteady, and fell lightly.

Shui Linglong stood up abruptly, and asked, "What did you say? My cousin came to propose marriage?" Shui Linglong was shocked in disbelief.

Qiu Shan nodded and said happily: "Yes! Young Master Biao came to propose marriage in person, and Wang Ye is talking to him."

Shui Linglong asked: "He wants to marry me?"

Qiu Shan nodded again, very surprised how the princess would ask such a simple question, but still happily explained: "Yes! If you don't propose marriage to the princess, who will you propose marriage to? You are the only princess in the entire palace. "

Shui Linglong finally confirmed that her cousin was here to propose marriage to her, her expression straightened, the chess record in her hand fell on the chessboard with a "slap", and the chess pieces fell to the ground one after another.

Qiu Shan and the two maids next to her were taken aback by Shui Linglong's reaction, and suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and the chill was overwhelming.

Qiu Fan looked at Shui Linglong's livid face, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately, replaced by anger, and said: "This young master Biao is really, don't tell the princess about such things, if—"

Shui Linglong's complexion became more and more ugly, Qiu Fan's voice became lower and lower, her head also lowered slowly, not daring to look at Shui Linglong anymore.

Shui Linglong gave Qiu Shan a hard look, and strode towards the main hall.

Qiu Shan and the others waited for Shui Linglong to walk several steps before he let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.Qiu Shan really couldn't figure out why the Princess would not like someone as good as Young Master Biao. Could it be that the Princess was still thinking about that Xue Qiu?

While thinking about it, Qiu Fan caught up with Shui Linglong's steps and followed behind Shui Linglong.

Qiu Shan was really worried that Shui Linglong would offend Young Master Liuyun again this time, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Princess, don't think about that Xue Qiu anymore, Young Master Biao is really nice, he treats you very well, Princess. It’s really sincere. Princess, do you want to—”

"Shut up!" Shui Linglong turned her head and said coldly to Qiu Shan.

Qiu Shan didn't dare to say anything again, but she was thinking in her heart that this was the first time someone came to propose a marriage. After passing this village, she really didn't know if there would be another shop.

After going round and round, Shui Linglong and Qiu Shan came to the main hall.There are hundreds of red betrothal gifts placed outside the main hall, which looks very festive.

Shui Linglong was not in such a good mood to look at those dazzling betrothal gifts, she walked into the main hall without saying a word, and shouted angrily, "Liu Yun, do you want to die?"

In the main hall, the handsome young man who was chatting with Shui Rong immediately got up and said with a smile, "Cousin, are you here?"

The handsome son is only about 15 years old, wearing Jinyun Baixiu with a red gown, tall and straight, with a delicate and fair face, a high nose bridge, and star-like eyes. He is Shui Linglong's cousin Chen Liuyun.Liu Yun looked at Shui Linglong at the door with a smile on his face.

Shui Linglong angrily walked to Liu Yun's side, stretched out her hand to grab Liu Yun's right ear, and asked, "Say! What's going on?"

Shui Rong took a look, his face was very ugly, and he scolded: "Linglong, what are you doing? Do you have any education?"

Liu Yun hurriedly laughed along, and explained to Shui Rong: "Uncle, don't be angry. Cousin is just playing around with me."

Shui Linglong became even angrier when she heard that, playing with you?Shui Linglong grabbed Liu Yun's right ear, "Who is playing with you? Come out!"

After speaking, he grabbed Liuyun's right ear and walked outside.

"Take it easy! Cousin, it hurts!" Liu Yun turned sideways, followed Shui Linglong to go outside, and kept saying, "Really, take it easy! It hurts!"

Shui Rong watched Shui Linglong take Liuyun out like this, but before he could stop him, he could only sigh dejectedly.

Shui Linglong brought Liu Yun outside the main hall, pointed at the betrothal gifts, and asked, "Say! What's going on here?"

Liu Yun rubbed his right ear, and said to Shui Linglong with a smile on his face: "Is there a need to ask? Of course I'm here to propose marriage!"

Shui Linglong waved her right hand to slap Liu Yun's head, but Liu Yun took a step back to dodge it.Shui Linglong stared at Liu Yun.He said angrily: "Of course I know that this is to propose a marriage. But why did you come here, say! Why did you call for attention?"

Liu Yun said with a smile: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't pay much attention! I really want to marry you, cousin!"

As soon as Liu Yun finished speaking, Shui Linglong waved her hand again, and was dodged by Liu Yun again.

Shui Linglong didn't do anything, just looked at Liuyun coldly.Shui Linglong sneered and asked, "Cousin, are you really sure you want to marry me?"

Liu Yun trembled all over, took a few steps back, his eyes were full of vigilance, and said: "Cousin, I really have a sincere heart for you, the world can learn from it! Besides, cousin, you can't get married either?"

After hearing this, Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, and just about to get angry, she turned to smile and asked, "Cousin, are you sure? You won't regret it?"

Liu Yun said with a bitter face: "Cousin, if you do this again, I'm really not sure!"

Shui Linglong looked at those red dowry gifts, and asked with a smile: "Do these aunts know?"

Liu Yun shook his head, with an aggrieved look on his face, "I dare not let her know, if I let her know, the world will be in chaos."

Shui Linglong smiled, "Should I tell my aunt right now, and let my uncle and aunt get to know each other casually, what Miss Liu, what Wan'er, what Miss Xiangqiao?"

Liu Yun shook his head, "No!"

"Then go back! The dowry is here, Uncle Liu, remember to send it to the pawn shop later." Shui Linglong said to Liu Qing, the manager of the palace beside her.

Liu Yun hurriedly said: "Don't tell me! Cousin, although you don't like me, I really like you."

Shui Linglong didn't give Liu Yun a look, and said, "Hurry back!"

Liu Yun's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little dodged, and his voice tremblingly asked: "I heard from my uncle, do you have someone you like?"
