Chapter 9 Picking Lotus

Wen Jiming found out that Wen Xueqing had been unhappy since returning from Wen Zhai.He wanted to go forward to care, but when Wen Xueqing saw him, her expression became more sad, and she turned her head and left.

What kind of medicine did Aunt Princess give Zhen Zhen?The horse stopped running, the sword and bow stopped playing, and he was confined in the house all day, and he was not so lively and noisy.

"I used to wish I could close the doors and windows tightly and tie you up with a chain, but now you stay inside all day and don't go out, I'm not used to it." Wen Jiming found a free day to ask, "I asked you to..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Xueqing stood up with a particularly strong reaction.

"What's the matter?" Wen Jiming wondered, "I didn't mess with you, did I?"

Wen Xueqing glanced at him sadly.Thinking that Ling Rou might marry Wen Jiming in the future, and that her brother would be Ling Rou's backer, letting her be firmly on her head, Wen Xueqing couldn't be happy.Princess Lekang only said that she wanted to marry Lingrou, but it was still unclear who would marry her. She was upset, but she couldn't say it directly.

She is not going to fight Ling Rou to death, but it is impossible to sit down and respect each other as guests.

Wen Jiming sat for a long time, but Wen Xueqing couldn't utter a word.Lily novel group 561142596

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, his breath was stuck in his chest, and he was very depressed.Finally, she knocked Wen Xueqing on the head and left angrily.

Seeing Wen Jiming's leaving figure, Wen Xueqing touched the place where it was knocked, but did not catch up to explain.

Once Princess Lekang made such an attitude, it meant that there was nothing to change.

Wen Xueqing's wedding ceremony this time will be an opportunity to bring the Wen Ling family closer and facilitate a marriage.

It was useless to think too much, Wen Xueqing had no choice but to write to Gao Lan to explain, telling Gao Lan that she would no longer ask her to be a praiser of Jiji.

"Little lady, this way please, His Highness is waiting for you at the water pavilion in front."

After the servant who led the way finished speaking, she bowed slightly, bowed her head and stepped back, letting Lingrou go to see Princess Lekang alone.

Thanked the maid who led the way, and when the figure of the other party shrunk and disappeared, Lingrou straightened her sleeves, lowered her head slightly, and stepped into the waterside pavilion.

The waterside pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, leaving only one moon gate to enter and exit. Princess Lekang sits leaning on the beauty's back, sprinkled fish food here and there.

As the bait was cast, a large group of koi gathered under the waterside pavilion, not far from the lotus leaf fields, and the swaying stalks ten miles away.In early summer, it is not too hot, but the lotus wind blows into the water pavilion, bringing coolness.

Ling Rou bowed to Princess Lekang.

"You don't need to be too polite," Princess Lekang smiled, "I called you here temporarily to delay you for some time."

Today I invite Ling Rou, using Wen Xueqing's name, but...

As soon as Lingrou entered Wen's residence, she didn't see Wen Xueqing's condition. She guessed that Princess Lekang used Wen Xueqing's name, Wen Xueqing herself didn't know.

Princess Lekang invited Ling Rou to come mainly for Wen Xueqing's kindness.

The previous relationship between Wen Xueqing and Ling Rou was incompatible. After Wen Xueqing wrote the invitation, because she didn't want to have more contact with Ling Rou, she left it alone.

Luckily, Ling Rou is old enough to know the general process.Princess Lekang only needs to check with her roughly.

"Zhenzhen is a bit sloppy, so it's inevitable that there will be some mistakes."

Princess Lekang was full of apologies, and hoped that Lingrou would not take Wen Xueqing's negligence to heart.

Ling Rou naturally said no.

In my heart, I don't think so, Wen Xueqing has been like this for a long time, except for her background, there is nothing about her that is suitable for a noble girl.

It's not the first time that she can't sit still and run outside on the main road of Tongli. Only when Linzhou is under the control of Wen's family, Wen Xueqing dares to be so crazy.

If it was Shang Yuanye, it would definitely not be like this...

Thinking about it this way, it is strange to feel that Wen Xueqing's troublesome things are nothing.

That night Lingrou didn't see the other person's face clearly, but the person who can play the flute like that must not be someone like Wen Xueqing.

Can Wen Xueqing understand this?

After explaining the matter and the ceremony, Princess Lekang asked Ling Rou to go boating and pick lotus.

Sending Lingrou to a small boat, the maid who punted the boat was a bit older, and she left without waiting for Princess Lekang to board the boat.

"Your Highness!"

Ling Rou was startled.

Princess Lekang stood on the shore and smiled slightly: "I won't go to play, I hope the little lady can have fun."

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Lingrou stood up, wanting the maid to stop.But the servant woman turned a deaf ear to it, and kept swaying the oar to turn back the water surface, and the boat sailed quickly, plunging headlong into the depths of the lotus field.

The clear water diverted, the lotus leaves were fluctuated, the long green stems swayed, the buds of the red lotus hung down, and the bright yellow stamens opened wide, reaching under Lingrou's nose.

Knowing that Princess Lekang will not come, Lingrou slowly relaxes.

Wen's house has been passed down from generation to generation and has a profound heritage. Compared with the Ling family who came to Linzhou to buy a house in a hurry, it is more elegant and luxurious.

For example, this lotus pond was obviously cultivated very early.Along the way, the double-petaled lotus is rare and common, and the rare thousand-petaled lotus appears from time to time.

Such a lotus pond, just looking at it, has countless talents bursting out, and it is really a pity to let it open and fail freely.

...It is Wen Xueqing who doesn't know how to appreciate, so it will be wasted.

"Crash-"

Suddenly the sound of water came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "bang", and the hull shook violently.The maid who was punting in front of the boat did not expect the sudden impact, so she couldn't support her balance and fell on the deck.

Fearing that the boat would capsize, Lingrou held on to her dress tightly while looking back.

Wen Xueqing was dressed in red with hakama folds, holding a lot of purple lotus flowers in her hands, her fair cheeks were flushed by the sun, and her black eyes were full of surprise when she saw it was her.

"Little lady!"

Lingrou's small boat was bumped so much that it got a lot of water in.The servant woman who punted the boat was worried about entering the water and capsizing the boat, letting the charming guest into the water, and letting Princess Lekang punish her.Now that Wen Xueqing was here, the maid asked Wen Xueqing to allow Ling Rou to board her boat, and she would go back as soon as possible by rowing this small boat that could capsize at any time.

"..."

Wen Xueqing looked at the sparkling water, and didn't speak for a while.

"Princess Lekang invited Miss Ling to go on a cruise, and entrusted me with it. If something happens, I...I..."

The servant woman was in a hurry and begged urgently.

"I know," Wen Xueqing said, "I was wrong, I shouldn't hit you."

Ling Rou was taken aback.

According to Wen Xueqing's temperament, shouldn't she be domineering and unrepentant?To admit his mistake to a servant woman so easily.

The servant girl looked at Wen Xueqing with hope in her eyes, "Little lady..."

Seeing that the hem of Ling Rou's skirt was already wet and the color was getting darker, and seeing the anxious look of the maid, Wen Xueqing lowered her eyes, avoiding Ling Rou's gaze, and whispered: "Come on."

The servant woman breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Ling Rou stood firm on Wen Xueqing's boat, she rowed away quickly.

For a while, the ten mile lotus pond was silent, only the two of them.

—They were never alone.

Wen Xueqing was even more nervous than when she was in Yuanye, she tilted her body quietly, and put some distance away from Lingrou cautiously.

But in fact, Wen Xueqing's ship is not too big.

There is a boat canopy in the middle, and the remaining boards at both ends are small, with only two seats.

Wen Xueqing occupied one by herself, Ling Rou came up, she was standing, if she sat down, no matter how much Wen Xueqing moved, she would still touch Ling Rou, not to mention, there were many freshly picked lotus flowers piled up beside her.

Ling Rou stood for a while, Wen Xueqing was silent all the time, she neither rowed a boat nor picked lotus, she just sat upright, motionless.

"I'll go to the cabin." Ling Rou felt uncomfortable just standing there.The encounter this time was too accidental, she was not prepared, and there was no one around, she didn't want to act like it again.

The hand holding the lotus moved, and Wen Xueqing suddenly remembered that there was still a jade flute in the cabin!

Before she had time to think about it, Wen Xueqing followed Ling Rou into the cabin, and entered the cabin ahead of her.

Only a few steps away, Wen Xueqing's movement of putting away Yu Xiao completely fell into Ling Rou's eyes, seeming to cover up.

Wen Xueqing: "It was left behind by my sister-in-law. I had an appointment to pick lotus together, but something delayed me." Ling Rou didn't invite herself to pick lotus, so Wen Xueqing played by herself.In this pond of lotus in Wen's residence, even if she came to pick it every day, she would not pick it.

Ling Rou nodded, expressing her understanding.

They seem to be getting along so quietly for the first time...

Ling Rou tilted her head and looked at Wen Xueqing who was sitting on the other side, her thoughts were wandering, she never thought that she would have such a day with Wen Xueqing.

I don't know if they can still do this after the ship docks.

As for why Princess Lekang invited herself to be Wen Xueqing's praiser, Lingrou could probably guess in her heart.

In fact, she didn't have a clear goal about who to marry and where to marry.

She doesn't know any of the sons of Luoyang, and she doesn't know their character. The only unmarried son of the Wen family in Linzhou is Wen Jiming. If she married Luoyang according to her mother's wishes, there would only be Wen Wulang. Candidates.

What does Wen Xueqing think about this matter?

Ling Rou unconsciously looked at Wen Xueqing.

"That originally belonged to Gao Lan." Wen Xueqing said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Ling Rou lost her voice, and then realized that Wen Xueqing was talking about Jiji's candidate for praise.

...Could Wen Xueqing still know what she was thinking?

Being looked at by Ling Rou like this, Wen Xueqing felt uncomfortable all over.

"I'll go rowing and take you ashore." She stood up.I am not in the mood to pick lotus leisurely anymore.

"are you alone?"

Is there a third person on this ship?

Before Ling Rou came, Wen Xueqing paddled the lotus picking by herself.

"Do you want to paddle by yourself?" Wen Xueqing pushed away a step, allowing Ling Rou to go out.

Ling Rou shook her head: "I won't."

I won't return so much nonsense.

Wen Xueqing frowned impatiently, she just wanted to send her ashore as soon as possible.

Before she got out of the cabin, she heard Ling Rou from behind say, "I can't row a boat like this, especially when there are two people on board."
