imperial psychologist

Chapter 440 Moonlit Night
Yikang said with a smile, "It's been snowing for a whole day today, and I'm a little worried about the lotus in the paddy field, so I came over to have a look as soon as the snow stopped...and I bumped into your boat."

"What kind of treasure is Lianzhi? It's worth our princess staying up late at night to see it?" Zeng Jiuyan looked at Bai Yi, "Medical materials?"

"Have you forgotten, you specially accompanied me to Xipan to see it before." Bai Yi said softly.

"Oh!" Only then did Zeng Jiuyan remember, "You deserve that...that and that, it's for anesthetics, right?"

"Yeah." Bai Yi put away his laughing gesture just now, "No wonder the quality of the lotus seeds sent by Xuanqing Temple is so high every time, the Princess puts her heart into it."

Yikang just wanted to laugh, but then he looked away with some reservations and said softly, "After all, it was sent to the Imperial Hospital to save lives and heal the wounded. It's a merit."

"Don't stand still," Chen Yicong said with a dull expression, he quickly returned to his seat, "Let's sit down and chat."

It was only then that Yikang untied the cloak on his body and handed it to the palace man next to him.

When she was about to take a seat, she glanced at the people sitting around the table, and walked around behind Zeng Jiuyan, "Young Master, can you sit across from me?"

Zeng Jiuyan turned his head inexplicably, "Why?"

"I'm sitting here so I can talk to Boling conveniently." Yikang said with a smile.

"Then you sit next to Bo Ling?" Zeng Jiuyan pointed to the vacant seat on Bo Ling's right, "If you don't have any bowls and chopsticks here, I'll just give you another set."

Yikang narrowed his eyes, "...are you going?"

"I won't go." Zeng Jiuyan folded his arms and said with a smile, "It's too hot for me to sit here, if you tell me to move my nest, I'll move it? Besides, I won't go, what can you do to me?"

Yikang snorted, "If you don't go, I'll tell my sister tomorrow that I've taken a fancy to the little lord of our Dingbianhou family, and the day after tomorrow a matchmaker will come to your house directly to say goodbye, do you believe it?"

Zeng Jiuyan's expression froze.

"...you can say such words???"

Chen Yicong on the opposite side couldn't help but chuckled, "...not only can she say it, but she can also do it."

Only then did Zeng Jiuyan make a trembling gesture.

With a bitter face, he patted his buttocks and ran to Chen Yicong's side while hugging the heated cushion he was sitting on.

The palace people brought up a new pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Bo Ling took it and held it in his hand, while the palace people on the side stepped forward to clean up the leftovers left by Zeng Jiuyan just now.

"Don't miss my handsome face." After sitting down again, Zeng Jiuyan made a face, "My father will not agree to me going to a Taoist temple to be a door-to-door son-in-law!"

The crowd suddenly laughed.

Amidst the laughter, Yikang sat generously between Bai Yi and Bai Ling.

"Don't be so sentimental," Zhang Jingzhen said with a smile, "The princess is missing your beauty, the princess is clearly—"

Bai Yi coughed, and glanced at Zhang Jingzhen with a complicated expression.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Yes!" Yikang gave Zhang Jingzhen a sly look, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Only now did Chen Yicong pay attention to Yikang and Bai Yi on the opposite side - if it weren't for Zhang Jingzhen's point in this half sentence, he might not have noticed anything at this moment.

But for some things, once there is a little bit of clues, the whole situation becomes clear in an instant.

"I... go out for a while." Bai Yi stood up and walked towards the bow of the ship - the only chamber pot on the ship was placed there.

A moment of surprise flashed in Yikang's eyes, but he returned to normal immediately.

This scene completely fell into Chen Yicong's eyes.

Only at this sudden moment, his grudge against this princess has faded a lot, and even suddenly he has a little more sympathy for each other.

However, Chen Yicong still drank with his head down, listening to the chatting and laughing of the people next to him, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

Bo Ling on the opposite side seemed a little sleepy, Yikang leaned half on Bo Ling's shoulder, and the two girls whispered a word or two from time to time.

Chen Yicong felt complicated.

I don't know how long it took, but the boat finally stopped on the shore of the small island in the middle of the lake.

"Let's go! Get off the boat!" Zeng Jiuyan looked towards the bow of the boat, "Bo Yi! What about you? You've been in the latrine for so long!"

"Here we come!" Bai Yi's voice came faintly.

"I won't go with you guys," Yikang said with a smile, "I've been out for so long, it's time to go back...Let the boatman take me back to the place where I got on the boat."

Zeng Jiuyan stared at her, "It's already here, you go back now?"

"I've been out for too long, it will be bad if my sister finds out..." Yikang smiled slyly, "None of you are allowed to tell her that I slipped out tonight! Otherwise——"

"Then you can rest assured," Zeng Jiuyan said hastily, "I will definitely take a detour when I see Princess Yining. If she really knows that you boarded our cruise ship in the middle of the night, then it's okay?"

"It's good to know!"

……

Several people watched the boat go away from the shore.

When several people turned around and walked towards the pavilion in the center of the island together, Bai Ling looked at Bai Yi.

"What are you looking at me for?" Bai Yi noticed the gaze from this side, "Look at the road."

Bo Ling shook his head with a smile, and followed Zeng Jiuyan's steps a few steps forward.

In the end, the five people did not go to the pavilion in the center of the island, but went to another stone pavilion near the water. Go up the screen.

The orange lanterns were flickering, and the wine was warming on the stove, but Bo Ling didn't want to drink any more anyway, she just put her hand on the stove.

Seeing the water of Anhu Lake repeatedly washing against the nearby reefs, the sound was like ocean waves.

The pavilion gradually became warmer, but it was already late at night, and the original noise turned into night chats around the fireplace.

Zhang Jingzhen and the others were very poetic, and everyone wrote and left poems—then covered their names and asked Bo Ling and Bai Yi to write.

Perhaps it was because of sleeping in the carriage earlier, but Bai Yi was not sleepy at this time.

In the second half of the night, the sky began to snow again.

Chen Yicong ordered people to extinguish more than half of the lanterns on the island, and everyone quietly watched the white snow gradually rising outside in the pavilion.

Zeng Jiuyan suddenly felt that this situation was a bit of a fly in the ointment - at such a moment, there should be an orchestra in his ears so that he would not feel lonely.

But just as he had this thought, he heard Bai Yi beside him humming a song in a low voice.

"In the garden late at night, everything is quiet, only the wind is singing softly..."

Zeng Jiuyan stopped all his thoughts.

The rhythm of this song is a bit strange, the tune is even more strange, and the lyrics are completely vernacular, neither like poetry nor folk proverbs.

Who knows, Bai Yi just raised his head over there, and Bai Ling on the side also responded in a low voice.

One of the two voices was low and the other soft, and the singing sound passed through the icy lake to the farther night sky.
