A medium-sized double-decker pleasure boat that can accommodate 20 to 30 people is parked on the waterside of the lakeside pier. It has a glazed roof and mica windows, and is decorated with utmost luxury. Even the wood used for the doors and windows is not ordinary wood. When you get on board, you can smell the faint natural sandalwood scent emanating from the hull, which seems to come from a precious kind of Dalbergia odorifera from Jiaozhi.
The palace eunuch standing at the bow took her into the cabin, and she found that not only the doors and windows, but all the wooden furniture in this cabin, from the bed, screen, table, to a small Ruyi claw, were made of this woody yellow sandalwood. As for the other utensils, such as the gold-toothed plate filled with fresh fruits on the table, the gold-plated and silver-plated wine jars, tea bottles, vases, as well as gold-plated and silver-plated goblets, bowls, spoons and chopsticks... they were also rich and luxurious, with a dazzling array of items.
It turned out that this boat was a pleasure boat that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to be built and sent to welcome Prince Ning back to Beijing after he left office. It had never been in the middle of the lake before. The many young men and women who came today originally planned to go on a cruise, but they didn't expect that Ashina and the Prince of the County led the team to play polo, so the cruise plan was cancelled.
Although Li Wanwan is usually carefree and always regrets not being a man, she thinks her brother is timid and dares not do this or that, but how can she not love this only brother. Although Lu Wenjun has a savage temperament and is of a different generation from the siblings, they have been playing together since childhood and have a very good relationship. In the morning, because of the accident caused by Li Hui riding a horse, they were all regretful and scared. Although King Ning did not blame his granddaughter and niece too much, they were quite ashamed and could not muster the energy to play anymore. They were planning to leave, but were dissuaded by Feng Silang, the son of the Feng family, who urged them to go on the boat to relax. Moreover, he was not the only one. When the banquet was over, everyone went to Liangfengtai and secretly called King Kang Li Ze to come.
Feng Silang is the youngest son of Feng Zhenping. He is a talented writer. When he was a teenager, he wrote poems and essays that were praised by famous scholars in Chang'an. Therefore, he is often loved by Feng Zhenping. The Feng family has high hopes for this child. In addition to hoping that he will pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future, they also hope that he can marry Li Wanwan. If the marriage is successful, the marriage with King Ning will always be a great help in the future.
As for Prince Kang Li Ze, he has also reached the age of marriage and concubine. Recently, he knew that he might marry a granddaughter of Wang Zhang. He had seen that girl before. She was plain-looking and he didn't like her. And not only that, he had always been in love with his cousin Lu Wenjun. Although she was arrogant, she was really beautiful. Now he knew that he would marry a daughter of the Wang family. Lu Wenjun was of noble status. Her mother was the eldest princess of the family, and her father was a high-ranking official in the Menxia Province. He was a member of the Lu family, who was as famous as the Cui family. It was unlikely that he wanted her to marry him as a concubine, but he had not completely given up. He was just instigated by Feng Silang. He knew that she was also on the boat, and this was an opportunity to please her, so he quietly left the team and came together.
Xuyu saw that the two girls on horseback that morning were in the cabin.
Li Wanwan sat on a sandalwood bed with gold flowers, while Lu Wenjun lay by the window and looked at the lake view. There were two other young men. One of them was King Kang, and the other was about the same age that she had never seen before, but the palace supervisor had already informed her in advance at the bow of the boat that he was Feng Silang, the son of the Feng family. At this moment, King Kang was accompanying Lu Wenjun, while Feng Silang was trying to make Li Wanwan happy. However, no matter what he said, Li Wanwan never answered and was not interested until Xuyu came in, and then he turned his two dark eyes and looked at her.
