The thousand wisps of jade was condescending, and Fang Zhilan was forced to raise her head upwards, revealing her white and delicate neck, as if Jing Fu could cut it off with just a little force.

As she thought so, her palm gradually slid down along the soft skin she touched, and her thumb began to apply force.

"Princess!" Fang Zhilan really felt the killing intent this time, she breathed with difficulty, tears welled up, and the corners of her eyes were red, "His Royal Highness did not blame the minister, this is a lynching."

If you strangle me to death like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the prince.

As soon as she made a sound, Jing Fu let go of his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, suppressed the violence in his heart, and the chill all over his body increased instead of diminishing: "Are you threatening me with Brother Huang?"

"I dare not." Fang Zhilan hurriedly escaped from under her hands, gasping for breath and coughing a few times.

When she looked at Jing Fu again, her eyes were clear: "Princess, you can think about it clearly. Although I don't regret my death, but right now, I am an official ordered by the court. If I want my life, I'm afraid the prince will also be implicated."

She spoke in a serious manner, but Qian Liyu didn't know if she listened, and only looked at the red marks on her neck that she pinched out by herself.

The marks on the snow-colored skin are extraordinarily beautiful and alluring.

Fang Zhilan noticed the look in her eyes, and alarm bells rang out in her heart, fearing that she would make another move, she pulled up her skirt to cover it up.

Unexpectedly, Jing Fu didn't do anything more, he suppressed the strange color in his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for reminding me."

With that said, he turned around and was about to go out.

Fang Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief as if she had received an amnesty, and then heard her impatient voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you want me to send you back?"

She followed quickly.

----------------

After a few days of hunting, the topic everyone talked about was not who was the best at archery, but Shang Shulang, who had disappeared from the Fang family for nearly a day and a night, and was finally brought back to the house by the carriage of the Princess Mansion.

Although Princess Jingfu's unruly temper is well-known, but in terms of appearance, the two are considered to be talented and beautiful.

If something happened, it's not impossible.

It's a pity that the two parties concerned are silent about this, and nothing can be pried from their mouths.

What's more, he dared not provoke Qianlianyu, so he only picked Fang Zhilan as a soft persimmon, and saw her keep yawning with her sleeve covering half of her face, and deliberately teased: "Master Fang, why do you have to work so hard? Come to the court in person before dawn, it is better to be the princess early, and be a hands-off shopkeeper, wouldn't you be at ease, and you can sleep until dawn."

In the past dynasties, the son-in-law was not allowed to have real power. At most, he was given a nominal position. If he had no ambitions, he could just muddle through.

But the original master Han Chuang studied hard and was named on the gold list based on his own ability. How can people not understand the derogatory meaning in these words.

Fang Zhilan held the fluorene board in her hand and opened her mouth to refute, then a clear voice rushed ahead of her, lazily saying, "Hey——I said why the air in the palace is so sour today, it turns out that some people can't eat grapes. Brew vinegar."

When the person being ridiculed heard this voice, his previous arrogance was suddenly extinguished, and he said embarrassingly: "Let Mr. Qi laugh..."

As soon as Fang Zhilan heard the conversation, she guessed who it was. When she turned around, she saw the young man in a red robe and sleeves, holding a long sword, as if he had just finished practicing martial arts, so she smiled and nodded at him: "Brother Qi .”

"Brother Fang Xian is doing well these days." The man known as Mr. Qi stepped forward and hugged Fang Zhilan's neck carelessly, "Why are you being bullied every time we meet?"

The unique fresh breath of a young man invaded, Fang Zhilan wanted to avoid it, but her strength was too weak, it was Qi Yang who noticed it and let go first: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so divided? Could it be true, Since ancient times, I have only heard the laughter of newcomers, how can I smell..."

"Stop, stop!" Fang Zhilan hurriedly stopped him, straightened her clothes, "Brother Qi knows that this is impossible, so don't make fun of me like others."

"That's right." Qi Yang folded his arms around his chest, with a look of contempt on his face, "My cousin clearly likes the boy from the Bo family..."

I'm afraid that in the whole world, Qi Yang is the only one who dares to blatantly show his disdain for Princess Jingfu.

Who told him that he is the eldest son of the current Holy Father's sister, and another father who holds real power.

Among the sons-in-law who don't have a real job, Qi Taiwei, who is in charge of soldiers and horses, is not included.

It just so happens that Taiwei's Mansion is only separated from Fang's by a wall. The original owner and Qi Yang have known each other since childhood, and they can be regarded as close friends who have been sneaking around together.

The courtier who had been angry with Fang Zhilan earlier had already left in despair at some point, and the two walked side by side. Fang Zhilan saw his attire and asked casually, "Brother Qi just finished practicing arrows?"

"That's right." Qi Yang was cheerful, with his white teeth conspicuous, "A few days ago, I heard that brother Fang Xian had disappeared, so I came to take a look today while the court was leaving."

After that, he moved closer and said in a low voice, "The rumors about you and Jingfu..."

"Fake." Fang Zhilan rebuffed straight away, "Gossip and gossip, let them go."

"Then I'm relieved." Qi Yang straightened his back and stood taller than Fang Zhilan. He changed the topic, "Recently, the scenery of the shimmering lake is just right, and the lotus is full of flowers. I heard that Hualou's annual election The Kui Contest will be held on the boat tonight, I wonder if you are interested?"

Thinking that ever since she came to this world, she either escaped under the hands of Princess Jingfu, or was doing business, and had never gone out to see the customs of the capital, Fang Zhilan nodded: "Okay."

----------------

As soon as he returned to the mansion and put on his regular clothes, Yuanshen's mother, Mrs. Zhang, came to the door and dismissed the servants: "Lan'er, the Holy Majesty didn't ask any questions when I went to court today, right?"

"Nothing." Fang Zhilan looked indifferent, "No one asked."

"My sweetheart." Seeing her daughter who was gradually calming down, Mrs. Zhang felt a burst of heartache, and stroked her head, "It's all because my mother was ignorant when she was young, so she insisted on fighting for that breath..."

"Mother." Fang Zhilan lowered her voice, "Be careful that walls have ears, besides, am I not doing well now?"

"Yes, yes." How could Mrs. Zhang not cherish this sweetheart, thinking that Fang Zhilan could not act like a spoiled child in front of her parents like other sisters, so she didn't restrict her and let her associate with those young men. She changed her clothes and immediately guessed, "Lan'er is going out?"

"Yeah." When it came to playing, Fang Zhilan was in high spirits and looked radiant, "Qi Yang asked me to go on a lake tour."

As for looking at the flower boats, of course I can't tell my mother.

Seeing her happy face, Mrs. Zhang thought again, she was in her twenties and eighth year, Lan'er should like a young man like Qi Yang.

But she made a wrong step, wrong step, and hurt her daughter's great youth. She suppressed the sadness in her heart and said with a smile: "I won't go out until after dinner. Today, mother specially asked the small kitchen to cook chrysanthemum pork lung soup to relieve summer heat. Waiting for your return."

Fang Zhilan went in without knowing it, completely unaware that she had made up so much in her brain, and drank a third of her full with satisfaction.

The remaining seven points, of course, are reserved for eating outside.

It was getting late, and when it was the time agreed with Qi Yang, Fang Zhilan packed up and went out.

Seeing that they had reached the front door and walked around the screen wall, a little girl in light yellow clothes suddenly jumped out from the shadows of the trees by the courtyard, and said in a crisp voice, "Brother!"

Fang Zhilan trembled in fright, and saw the person in front of her clearly: "Mingzhu, what are you doing?"

"Waiting for you." The girl called Mingzhu smiled, "Where are you going to play, take me with you."

Fang Mingzhu is Yuanshen's own younger sister. She was pampered and raised like a jewel in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She was open-minded at first, and it was common for her to go out with her elder brother and friends.

But she, a girl who has not left the court, followed to see the flower boats, is it wrong, Fang Zhilan showed her elder brother's appearance: "Don't make trouble, go back to the house and play."

"I'll know if you don't tell me." The pearly grape-like black eyes rolled around, "You must have an appointment with Qi Yang, and you want to go out to visit the flower house, right?"

Fang Zhilan was at a loss for words, and Mingzhu said again: "If you don't bring me with you, I'll tell mother!"

"Let's go." Fang Zhilan waved her hands helplessly, "When the time comes, you are not allowed to run around."

"Hee hee." Ming Zhu came up and hugged her wrist affectionately, "I knew it, brother is the best."

……

Qi Yang next door was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion. When he saw Mingzhu beside Fang Zhilan, he muttered softly: "Follower."

Then he turned and mounted his horse.

There is only one Fang Zhilan in the world, he can only care about Mingzhu, but he can't care about Qi Yang, it has been like this since childhood.

Therefore, Ming Zhu and Qi Yang did not get along with each other, and it was something that happened since childhood.

Even after getting off the carriage, the two of them walked on Fang Zhilan's left and right sides, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

The flower boats on the lake have already been arranged, the lights are brilliant, as bright as day, and they are docked on the shore, just waiting for the arrival of those who care.

Beauty doesn't just meet when you meet, you have to pay enough entrance fee.

Qi Yang was about to take out the banknote, Mingzhu took out the purse from her waist again, and said first: "I'll give you my brother's share!"

"I'm the one who made the appointment, so it's up to me." Qi Yang lazily said.

"As a younger sister, it's only natural for me to respect my elder brother." Mingzhu didn't lose.

"Brother Fang Xian and I are close friends, as an older brother, of course you should be more generous." Qi Yang retorted.

"You are unreasonable!"

"You spout blood."

"You XX..."

The two fought hard, but Fang Zhilan, who was caught between them, couldn't bear it anymore: "Okay, there are people behind, please stop arguing, I will pay the money."

As he said that, he took out the silver bag and quickly handed the silver to the boy, stopping this war without gunpowder.

She took out the ticket money for three people at once, and her heart was bleeding...

The painting boat is very big, with three or four floors. There are even many food sellers walking around on the first floor deck, taking the opportunity to raise the price several times, intending to make a fortune.

These people don't have to pay entry fees, they just need to share the proceeds with Hualou.

It is really necessary to take out all the money in the pockets of these rich kids.

However, Mingzhu and Qi Yang, the two stunned young men, seemed to think that the money was not spent, and after a while: "Ah Lan, try this lotus leaf cake."

After a while: "Brother likes sweets, try candied haws..."

Fight openly and secretly, and the flames of war are raging.

Fang Zhilan couldn't offend anyone, her cheeks were bulging like a little hamster.

The sky is about to get dark, the autumn water in the distance is the same color as the sky, and the lights are bright nearby. In addition to the painting boats in Hualou, there are many nobles' own boats floating on the water surface, scattered like stars on the water surface.

Soon, a full moon will rise from the sky. Even if you don't appreciate the beauties, enjoying the scenery on the railing in the shadow of your clothes and temples is a must.

After a while, the selection of the oiran officially began.

The three of them sat upstairs, watching the girl below playing and singing, showing off their talents, occasionally not forgetting to comment.

The bright pearl girl's heart is not like those men who can see whether she is beautiful or not. After seeing it for a while, she slipped out for a stroll.

Fang Zhilan waited for a long time, but no one came back, worried that a little girl of hers had run away, so she whispered to Qi Yang: "I'll go out to find her, you wait for me here."

Qi Yang was singing along with the beauty's low voice, beating the time with his hands on the table, upon hearing this, he only nodded.

----------------

When Fang Zhilan found Mingzhu on the first floor, she was leaning against the side of the boat, alone, with her head down, fiddling with something with her hands.

"Pearl." Fang Zhilan stepped forward, "What are you doing?"

"The garland is broken." Mingzhu frowned, "I want to weave it right."

With the help of the bright moonlight, Fang Zhilan could now see clearly that what she was holding in her hand was a wreath made of flower branches, the bright yellow and light red were really pretty.

"Where did you get this thing?" Fang Zhilan took the thing over and asked casually.

"That lady Du who sang the little song just now gave it to me after she left the stage." Mingzhu was a little annoyed, "but I accidentally opened it."

Fang Zhilan took a closer look, but the connection was a little loose, she lowered her head and tied the flower branches tightly.

Her fingers were slender and white as jade, and in a blink of an eye, a wreath that was intact as before appeared.

"Okay." Fang Zhilan smiled, raised her hand and placed the wreath on top of Mingzhu's head, "It's so beautiful!"

"Thank you, brother." Mingzhu was overjoyed, and embraced Fang Zhilan's wrist happily, and kissed Fang Zhilan's cheek with a "boo", "Brother is so kind."

Although they are brother and sister, the two have always been close, and Mingzhu acted coquettishly towards her with ease.

Fang Zhilan smiled and was about to say something when she felt a gaze fall on her as coldly as a knife.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of that gaze, and immediately froze in place.

Not far from the painting boat, a large boat was moving forward. The people on board were dressed in red, domineering, their black hair was pulled up high with jade hairpins, and decorated with luxurious jewelry. The whole person was on the floor, like a fairy who was too cold.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Fang Zhilan felt a faint feeling of déjà vu in her heart.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Fang Mingzhu followed her gaze.

"Ah?" Fang Zhilan came back to her senses, "It's okay."

When she raised her head again, she found that the place where the person was standing was empty.

Maybe it's just my own illusion?
