"Princess." Lian Ruyue had a faint smile on her face as she stood up and bowed to Princess Thirteen.
"Tang Yao'er, this time you have a companion. Hurry and thank your cousin Yue'er for coming to the palace to accompany you." Imperial Concubine Su sat at the side as she spoke with a smile.
"I know Cousin Yue'er treats Yao'er the best." Feng Yang shook Lian Ruoyue's hand gently, looking extremely affectionate. Even Ru Yue looked very natural, without a trace of awkwardness or discomfort. Seeing that the two children really had a good relationship with each other, Consort Su felt that she was very satisfied.
After all, they were blood related.
"I saw the princess practicing her swordplay a moment ago. Is the princess doing well?" Lian Ruyue asked.
I begged royal father for a long time before he agreed. royal father said he was afraid my body wouldn't be able to take it, and I said it was the Heavenly Treasure Great General Xiao He who taught me, so he would definitely be able to teach well. Cousin Yue Er, you saw it, what do you think of my progress? " Feng Tang Yao talked about the practice of the sword, and was extremely happy.
"I took a look just now and saw that the princess's moves were that of a woman." Lian Ruyue said.
Feng Tang Yao was very happy when she heard that, and her face turned red as she said, "Really? I just want to exercise my body more. In the future, don't make royal father and mufei always worry about me. "
"The princess is so considerate and sensible, the emperor and aunt are really blessed." Lian Ruyue praised.
"Deng Yao`er, you can't train for too long. You have to be careful and rest, do you understand?" At this time, Imperial Concubine Su spoke up.
"Rest assured, mufei, Wuyao is the person who knows her limits the most." Feng Tang Yao walked over to Imperial Concubine Fu and nestled in her arms.
"Alright, alright, alright. I believe you." Imperial Concubine Fu shook her head lovingly.
"Oh right, mufei, the weather is so good today. Cousin Yue'er rarely comes here, so let's arrange for a boat to visit the lake." Feng Ziyao said, as if something suddenly rang out.
"Great!" This idea! Right now, the Peacock Lake scenery is the most beautiful. Fortunately, we can still see lovebirds. " Imperial Concubine Su approved of Feng Yunyao's plan to travel.
"Then let's go, Cousin Yue Er."
Feng Ziyao had Lian Ruyue give him a Smoke Rain Peach Blossom Cloak and put it on, then held Lian Ruyue's hand and followed behind Imperial Concubine Fu, along with some eunuchs, mama, and maidservants.
When the Imperial Palace was originally built here, there was a lake called the Peacock Lake. Because the palace was to be built, the lake was filled up, leaving behind only a river channel that surrounded the entire Imperial Garden. From afar, it looked like a green ribbon floating around the Imperial Garden.
When they reached the lake, a boat had already docked by the shore, waiting for them to get on, and they were very happy to see Feng Yao in her dress.
Lian Ruyue had a smile on her face the whole time, but her heart was filled with a few sneers —
Although she said that she had come to swim in the lake out of the blue, she could tell that everything that had happened from the moment she entered the palace to the time she came here was obviously arranged by her aunt, the favorite concubine of the emperor.
As for why she arranged to visit the lake, she wanted to keep a straight face.
If it were her previous life, she would naturally be unable to see through everything. But now, with her rebirth, this simple trick, she was able to see through it with one glance.
"Yue Er, come up." With the support of the mama and the palace maid, Imperial Concubine Su and Feng Yunyao boarded the boat, as did Xiyue.
This ship was specially built by the Emperor for the purpose of swimming in the lake. It was constructed with a dragon head as the bow, with a golden hull and dragon scales carved into it. The interior of the ship was decorated in a very luxurious manner.
The three of them sat in the cabin, admiring the scenery around them. The boatman slid the boat very steadily, and the servants followed the boat along the shore, maintaining a certain distance from the boat.
At this moment, it was the third month of the year. The willows and willows on both sides of the river were fluttering in the wind, and the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming beautifully.
"The weather is really good. Coming out to take a look makes me feel a lot more at ease." With a smile on her face, Soo Fei gazed at the willow tree in the distance as she spoke.
"Very pleasant." Lian Ruyue was in line with the Dao.
Feng Yang pointed happily at the tree and said, "Mufei, quickly look! Lovebirds! We've seen lovebirds!"
Lian Ruyue looked over and indeed saw two lovebirds in gorgeous feathered clothes with beautiful postures standing at the treetops, letting out beautiful sounds.
Halfway across the boat, Feng Ziyao suddenly said, "Stop, land."
"What's wrong, Ying Yao?" Imperial Concubine Su withdrew her gaze from the willow and asked.
"Mufei, I, I .." Feng Tang's face reddened. He lowered his voice and said, "Just now when I was practicing the sword, I drank too much water. Now .."
"Hehehe, so that's how it is. Let's first set the boat to one side and let Princess Thirteen off the ship." Imperial Concubine Su ordered.
So Feng Ziyao helped Mammy's men off the boat.
The boat stopped in place and waited. After a while, Imperial Concubine Su said to Lian Ruyue, "Yue Er, wait here for a while. I'll be right back."
".." Lian Ru Yue's heart skipped a beat. "Alright, aunt. I'll wait for you here."
Imperial Concubine Su was about to disembark when she walked to the bow of the boat and back again. She put down the curtain covering the cabin, blocking even Moon's line of sight.
After getting off the boat, Consort Su took a look at the cruise ship and quickened her pace, leaving.
Lian Ruyue sat alone in the cabin as she slowly closed her eyes. Her fists were lightly clenched. After a while, she heard a sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes and listened attentively — —
This was not the sound of Imperial Concubine Su's footsteps, nor was it the sound of Princess Thirteen's footsteps. The sound of her footsteps sounded a bit more steady and slow, but it was also a bit more powerful.
She lifted the curtains and looked out. She saw that Emperor Zhou Cheng, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, had already walked to the lake and was walking over. He had left his guards and eunuchs at the shore and was about to board the boat, but Imperial Concubine Shuang and Princess Thirteen were still nowhere to be seen.
".." Lian Ruyue quickly pulled down the curtain!
She understood that her aunt had arranged this on purpose, not in the Palace of Rongyuan nor in the Palace of Rongyuan, but on board a boat. Once the Emperor had boarded the boat, they were the only two men left on board besides the boatman who was in charge of the rudder, and as long as the boatman took the boat to the center of the lake, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Lian Ruyue lifted up a corner of the curtain and saw that Emperor Zhou Cheng had already ascended to the bow of the ship and was walking towards the cabin.
Lian Ruyue's eyes flashed. She suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and tightly gripped it. This dagger was given to her by Lian Lian.
