When Pei Wenxuan rushed to the dock with his sword in hand, Li Rong had already reached the lake.
When she was still on the carriage, she noticed that the street was different from usual. Men and women came and went, which was much more lively than usual. It was even more so when we got to the lakeside. The usual spacious lakeside was already full of carriages. When Li Rong got off the carriage, she couldn't help frowning, and she asked, "Why are there so many people?"
"Reporting to Your Highness," the guards who followed Li Rong immediately stepped forward, "Today, the sky lanterns will be released, and there are many people. Please be careful, Your Highness."
Li Rong only remembered after hearing this, it turned out that this was the lantern festival that Pei Wenxuan said before.
Thinking of Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong felt a bit sour in her heart. She turned her head away, pretending to be calm, and said, "Has the flower boat been arranged?"
"It's arranged, and the arrangements are made of strict-mouthed actors. Your Highness wears a veil, and your subordinates will lead His Royal Highness there."
Li Rong responded and was escorted by a servant to a place where there were few people and boarded the wrapped flower boat.
Today, there are many people, and there are also many boats, big and small. There are many men and women on the shore. Before the sky lanterns are put up, they put river lanterns by the lake. The river lanterns on the lake are like stars, big and small. boats shuttle across the lake.
Li Rong's boat is not big or small, and it is not conspicuous among the boats. After she boarded the boat, the boat rowed towards the center of the lake, and the attendant led Li Rong down to the cabin, while introducing: " The places suitable for viewing the lights have all been determined in advance by each family, and the slaves have been assigned positions. We came late, and we can only squeeze in a lake with these ordinary people. It may be a little noisy, so please don’t blame it, Your Highness.”
"It's okay," Li Rong said calmly, "It's good to have people."
Li Rong said, the attendant pushed open the door of the cabin, and then Li Rong saw a handsome man kneeling in the two rows in the cabin. Seeing Li Rong come in, they all kowtowed and said respectfully, "I have seen the eldest lady."
Li Rong was outside, so naturally it was impossible to use her real identity to meet these actors, so she made up the name of the eldest lady and brought people here.
It's not like Li Rong has never seen such a battle before, but today is the first time in her rebirth. These men can't compare to Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing's top-notch appearance, but they are better than numbers.
When a good-looking person is placed in front of him, he feels that he is just good-looking.
Putting a group of good-looking people in front of them is several times the visual impact.
Rao came here for no purpose, and Li Rong couldn't help but jump when she saw a group of beautiful men kneeling on the ground, raising their heads and looking at her affectionately.
She suddenly felt that she had made the right choice, she laughed, walked inside, raised her hand and said, "Everyone, get up."
As she said that, Li Rong walked directly to the main seat. As soon as she sat down, those men immediately stepped forward and poured wine on Li Rong's shoulders.
These people didn't know Li Rong's measure, and they didn't dare to move too much. Li Rong waved her hand, sprinkled a few pieces of silver on the ground, and raised her chin: "Those who can play the qin play the qin, and those who can sing songs, If you can dance, you can't do anything, and it doesn't matter if you play by yourself. Just be lively."
Li Rong opened her mouth and threw the money again. Everyone immediately became happy, and the cabin sang and laughed for a while, and sailed to the center of the lake.
Li Rong reclined half-body on the pillow amid the sound of silk and bamboo wind music, and looked at everyone with a smile. From time to time, she would drink a sip of wine and eat a grape with other people's hands. Listening to the actor's jokes, she lost a lot of breath.
She didn't want to think about Pei Wenxuan's affairs anymore. Anyway, she got on this flower boat, and the news would reach the palace tomorrow. As long as Pei Wenxuan calmed down, he still had to go along with Li Ming to explain that their feelings were not in harmony with Li Ming. Not so good.
She couldn't let Pei Wenxuan ruin her future.
While thinking about it, Li Rong applauded and said loudly, "Okay, reward!"
Just as she finished speaking, she saw the actor go down, and another person came up. Li Rong was lowering her head to eat the grapes fed by the actor next to her, and then she heard a somewhat familiar voice and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you can't play the piano and dance, why don't you give it to me? Tell me a story, Your Highness?"
When Li Rong heard this voice, she felt as if she had heard it somewhere. She was vigilant, and when she looked up, she saw a young man in white with a face like a jade crown standing there, looking at her with a smile.
As soon as Li Rong saw this person, she was so frightened that she choked on the grapes and coughed rapidly.
While pointing at the man, she coughed: "You... you... "
The young man smiled differently and seemed to know what Li Rong was afraid of. Seeing Li Rong choked, the actor next to her quickly patted her on the back and said anxiously, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"
"Get out... get out..." Li Rong quickly waved her hand and said urgently, "Go down."
The actor was stunned for a while, then glanced at Li Rong, and then at the young man in white in the middle. After a while, the actor stood up hesitantly and walked down together.
After everyone had left, Li Rong was relieved. The young man in white came to her slowly, squatted down, raised a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, have a glass of water?"
Li Rong didn't catch the water. After a while, she turned her head and frowned, "Why are you here?"
When Li Rong's boat was heading for the center of the lake, Pei Wenxuan had already arrived at the shore.
Pei Wenxuan found the servant of the princess's house who was ordered to wait by the shore, and panted, "Where's Your Highness?"
Jiading looked at Pei Wenxuan, as if he did not expect Pei Wenxuan to come, and froze for a while, not knowing whether to answer or not.
When Pei Wenxuan saw that Jia Ding was still in a daze, he knew that he was trying to cover up Li Rong, so he restrained his emotions and said, "I know that His Highness called someone from Nanfeng Pavilion, I didn't come to trouble her, who? "
Jiading didn't say a word, but just pointedly looked down at the sword in Pei Wenxuan's hand.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're here to have a good conversation.
Seeing Jiading's eyes, Pei Wenxuan didn't want to be entangled, so he put his sword on the servant's neck and shouted, "Speak!"
This time the family slave was sure that the concubine was really here to work hard. He didn't dare to hide, so he knelt down and kowtowed: "Concubine, the princess' ship has already left."
"Which one?"
"That's right, the one on the center of the lake is painted with flowers, and the one with two layers."
The servant raised his hand and pointed to the direction of the lake. When Pei Wenxuan got the word, he didn't care about him anymore. He hurried to the lake, found the person he had arranged, and said directly, "Where's my boat?"
"Master, are you alone?"
When the boatman saw Pei Wenxuan, he said strangely, "Didn't you say take your wife?"
"Things have changed, I'll just go by myself."
Pei Wenxuan jumped on the boat, and the boatman untied the rope, worried: "Can you row a boat?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he hung the sword on his waist, and with a stroke of the boat's pole, he rowed towards the center of the lake.
Pei Wenxuan went to Huxinxing, Li Rong looked at the young man who was half-squatting in front of her, and heard the other party say helplessly: "Xiaguan wanted to talk to His Highness for a long time, but I never had a chance. I saw His Highness come down to the lake today, so hurry up and follow. People got into this flower boat, but I didn't expect that it was His Highness holding a banquet. The romance of His Highness is really eye-opening for the officials."
The young man sat down as he spoke, Li Rong saw him being presumptuous, and sneered: "Since you know it's Ben Gong, you're not polite, Cui Yulang, you're very courageous."
"His Royal Highness does not want to reveal his identity, the lower official is just to respect His Highness's intentions."
Cui Yulang fanned his fan and said casually. Li Rong didn't want to talk to him, and said directly, "What are you looking for in this palace?"
"I want to ask Your Highness to do something."
Cui Yulang said, his face became serious: "Xiaguan wants to replace his friend, Chen Houzhao, a student from Qingcheng, asking for justice."
"What kind of justice," Li Rong said calmly, "You want to come to this palace to ask for it?"
"Chen Houzhao is an old friend of the lower official, and he is extremely talented. In this imperial examination, he had won the first place in the rural examination. He was a tribute to the village and went to Beijing to participate in the spring festival. His son Xiao Shunwen became a village tribute and participated in the Spring Festival. My friend went all the way to Beijing to file a complaint, and was chased and killed along the way. After arriving in the capital, no official was willing to accept this case. Clearly, please also ask Your Highness to call the shots for friends of the grass people!"
Li Rong did not answer immediately after listening to Cui Yulang's words.
The case was unclear, and she would not answer casually. She was thinking about the value of the case, and while she was thinking, she vaguely heard noises from outside.
At this time, Pei Wenxuan's boat was already docked beside Li Ronghua's boat, and Li Rong had already found a stable and stable position, so Pei Wenxuan leaned on the boat and jumped directly onto the boat.
When the guards guarding the bow saw Pei Wenxuan, his face changed dramatically, and he said anxiously: "Consort..."
"Step aside."
Pei Wenxuan pushed the guard away and walked directly inside. The attendant hurriedly stopped Pei Wenxuan, and Pei Wenxuan drew his sword and shouted, "Let me!"
Seeing Pei Wenxuan's aura, this is the consort again, and no one dared to stop him for a while, so he could only let Pei Wenxuan go all the way into the cabin and go straight to the second floor.
Li Rong was thinking about Cui Yulang's words hesitantly. When Cui Yulang saw Li Rong's hesitation, he sneered and said leisurely, "Does your Highness think that this case is not good?"
Li Rong raised her eyes to look at Cui Yulang, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, you still have something for me?"
"Cui Mou can give His Highness most of the things that His Highness doesn't like. There is only one thing. Let's take a look. Does His Highness want it?"
"Are you going to tell me?"
Li Rong raised his eyebrows, Cui Yulang smiled, and leaned forward, approaching Li Rong, untied his belt, and whispered: "Your Highness has a high authority, and now you are on a flower boat at night, I don't know if there is no one to enter the curtain. Bin? If His Highness does not dislike it, Yulang is willing to propose a pillow seat..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the door being kicked open. Cui Yulang and Li Rong turned around at the same time and saw Pei Wenxuan standing at the door with a sword in hand.
Cui Yulang and Li Rong were both stunned. Cui Yulang's hand was still on the belt that was half unfastened, and the loose clothes on his shoulders slipped from his shoulders due to his leaning movement.
Pei Wenxuan laughed angrily, he heard half of what he said, but he understood.
"Guests entering the curtain, recommend your own pillow seats."
Pei Wenxuan repeated it and sneered: "Cui Yulang, you are very well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Wenxuan raised his sword and slashed straight towards Cui Yulang.
Li Rong reacted quickly and said urgently, "Stop him! Hurry up and stop him!"
When Pei Wenxuan was stopped, Cui Yulang rolled on the ground in fright and quickly began to tie his belt. Pei Wenxuan chased Cui Yulang and hacked the whole house. Cui Yulang hurriedly said, "Consort, listen to my explanation..."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he chased after Cui Yulang and slashed over, chickens and dogs jumped in the room, Li Rong tried to calm herself down, she couldn't be chaotic, she had to calm down, she took a deep breath and shouted: "All Stop me!"
Hearing this loud roar, Pei Wenxuan's movements finally stopped, Li Rong took a breath, and was about to speak when Pei Wenxuan seemed to have reacted. Walk.
Li Rong didn't want to be too ugly in front of outsiders, so he dragged him downstairs and walked all the way out of the flower boat. Seeing that she was about to leave the flower boat, Li Rong panicked and said anxiously: "Pei Wenxuan, what do you have to say on the boat? ! You let go! Let go…”
"Get on board!"
Pei Wenxuan pulled her directly to his boat and forced Li Rong to get on his boat.
Everyone was frightened by Pei Wenxuan's aura, and no one dared to step forward. Pei Wenxuan dragged Li Rong into the cabin of the boat. Li Rong immediately struggled and shouted angrily, "Pei Wenxuan, what are you saying..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Wenxuan's sword slammed into Li Rong's hand with a bang. He stared at her like a wolf and warned, "If you keep making trouble, either you or I will die tonight."
"Crazy... crazy."
Li Rong stammered in fright.
Pei Wenxuan stood up, rolled up the curtains, stepped out, raised the pole of the boat, and instructed the guard on the boat, "I'll take it away, go to the shore to find Tongye, he will arrange it."
With that said, Pei Wenxuan took a stroke of the bamboo pole and led Li Rong's boat away from its original position, and rowed into the depths of the lake.
He didn't enter the cabin and was paddling outside. Li Rong could not help but panic as she heard the voices of the surrounding people getting smaller and smaller.
She looked around. The boat was not big, but it was very warmly arranged. Fresh bouquets were placed on the delicate small table, and tea, drinks, snacks, quilts, and quilts were readily available.
Two large windows were opened on both sides of the boat, and she could see the outside scenery, and she could clearly see that the surroundings were getting more and more desolate, and the boat was getting farther and farther from the shore.
Li Rong told herself that she should calm down. Pei Wenxuan is a measured person, and it is reasonable to be crazy. Even if he is crazy and wants to perish with her tonight, there will be a way to perish together.
Don't panic first, pour a cup of tea, drink a sip of wine, eat some snacks, and calm down.
While she was thinking, she was eating, and this action distracted her and calmed her down, thinking about Pei Wenxuan's intentions.
The quarrel has become so loud that Pei Wenxuan came to arrest her again. Was it really stimulated by the news that she was calling someone
How exciting was he to do such a thing to hold her hostage
While thinking about what Pei Wenxuan might do, Li Rong ate the plum cake.
This is her favorite dim sum. Judging from the taste, it is still produced in her favorite dim sum shop.
Li Rong couldn't help but take another bite, and it happened that Pei Wenxuan came in. Li Rong quickly raised his head, and Pei Wenxuan saw that the corner of Li Rong's mouth was covered in dessert, and there was a little panic in his eyes, and he pretended to be calm and looked at him.
At this moment, they have reached the center of the lake area under his package. There is no boat around. Only they are alone in a small boat floating on the lake. Reflecting the cold air of Jiangyue and the water, it looks as if it is a world of its own.
Pei Wenxuan stared at Li Rong, and Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan.
After a long time, Li Rong finally swallowed the plum blossom cake in her mouth and stammered, "You... you're here."
Pei Wenxuan wanted to laugh a little, but he still had a straight face, just stepped forward and sat opposite Li Rong.
Pei Wenxuan didn't say a word, and Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She secretly glanced at Pei Wenxuan and thought for a while.
When Pei Wenxuan came to her, he must have the intention of cooperation, not just to make trouble. I was so excited that I happened to bump into Cui Yulang.
In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Li Rong spoke first and coughed lightly: "You have some misunderstandings about what happened just now, I can explain."
"No need to explain," Pei Wenxuan took a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Your Highness has always been like this, I'm used to it."
"Don't say that," Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's words, not at all relaxed, but more panicked, and said slowly, "Actually, Cui Yulang came to report the crime."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan turned to look at her, he looked her up and down, and then sneered.
"You think I'm easy to deceive, don't you?"
"No," Li Rong was a little annoyed when she saw Pei Wenxuan's failure to enter, "Why are you disobedient? He really came to report the case. He has a friend..."
"Don't talk about that tonight."
Pei Wenxuan put down the cup and turned to look at her: "Tonight, I just want to talk to you about you and me."
Li Rong was stunned for a while, and after a while, she lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Well..."
"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan poured Li Rong a glass of wine, "We both like to lie."
"I like to lie to others, and you like to lie to yourself. Today I will accompany you for a drink, and neither of us will lie. If I can convince you, then tomorrow, I will resign with Your Majesty. If you can convince me, tomorrow , I will tell His Majesty that you and I will leave."
"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan looked at her and said seriously, "Can you do it?"
