Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 170

"Miss Zhao is new to the Imperial City, are you still used to everything?"

The four were divided into two sides of the boat, and Zhao Min just sat down when he heard Gu Qi's question.

"His Royal Highness, please be concerned, everything is fine." Zhao Min ate the exquisite snacks on the boat, and answered Gu Qi only after swallowing them.

Zheng Yihui on the side kept a decent smile from the beginning to the end, sitting next to Gu Qi.

As for the conversation between the three of them, they would only say a few words when they heard her being mentioned occasionally, and most of the rest were silent, looking like a lady of everyone.

It's not like Zhao Min at all, moving around on the seat, going out for a while to see the night scene, and coming back to talk, for the small snacks on the boat, he has been eating from beginning to end without stopping. All the etiquette taught her a few days ago was forgotten.

"Come and see!" The three people sitting in the canopy got up after hearing Zhao Min's surprised voice, and stood at the bow of the boat.

Gu Lingqing followed the direction Zhao Min pointed, and saw many people setting off river lanterns on the bank ahead. It turned out that the boat had been rowed to this place by the boatman unconsciously.

This place is called Marriage Bank. The woman came to this place to put the lantern on the river, and the river lantern went down the river, while the man chose a lantern not far below. Good fit.

Of course, most people just want to win a good fortune. The women will tell the men the characteristics of the river lanterns they put in advance.

Seeing Zhao Min's eagerness to try, Gu Lingqing suppressed the joy in her heart, and looked at her solemnly: "You don't have a man you like, why do you want to put this river lantern? A girl's family is so unreserved?"

Considering that there were outsiders present, Zhao Min didn't explode on the spot, but said with a coquettish smile, "Then I'm going to join in the fun."

When Gu Qi, who was next to him, heard that Zhao Min didn't have a man he liked, he didn't know why he felt happy, and hurriedly asked the boatman to pull the boat to the shore: "Since you want to join in the fun, let's go together."

Zhao Min nodded fiercely: "Okay!"

After the four of them landed, Zhao Min enthusiastically proposed: "Miss Zheng and I will go to release the river lanterns and see if you two can find them."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min took Zheng Yihui to the bank to buy river lanterns, while Gu Lingqing and Gu Qi went downstream.

Zhao Min looked at the river lantern in front of him, feeling a little worried. According to the custom, he wanted to write a sentence of his wish on the river lantern. Zhao Min raised his left hand, scratched his forehead, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. Only then did I put my pen down.

After finishing writing, Zhao Min satisfactorily carried his river lantern to Zheng Yihui who was next to him: "Miss Zheng, have you finished writing?"

Zheng Yihui was putting down the brush at this time, and nodded to her: "It's finished."

Zhao Min glanced at it hastily, although she didn't see what she wrote, but she could see that the handwriting was very neat, and seeing the crooked writing on the river lamp, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, so she put the river lamp on the I hid behind myself.

"Then let's go and release it together!"

When the two girls reached the bank together, they put the river lantern that they wished on into the river, and got up and walked downstream.

Zheng Yihui looked at Zhao Min next to her, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

From childhood to adulthood, Zheng Yihui received an orthodox education like a lady's. She must be proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has never seen a person like Zhao Min who lives so freely and recklessly. Very envious.

"Is there any movement from the prince recently?"

Hearing that Gu Lingqing brought up a serious matter, Gu Qi's face became a bit more serious: "It's really unusual that Gu Zixing hasn't attacked you for a long time. Now that my brother has returned to the city, he can't sit still and wait for his death. I'm afraid he is holding back a big fight." Trick, brother usually needs to be more careful."

"Hmm." After listening to Gu Qi's words, Gu Lingqing's expression did not change at all, she was slightly lost in thought looking at the calm lake.

In fact, his current situation is like the lake in front of him. It looks calm on the surface, but there are many dark waves and turbulent waves approaching him under the water.

Suddenly, Gu Lingqing's expression changed, and a look of joy appeared between his brows and eyes.

Among the lanterns flowing downstream from the upstream, there was a bright red one, which was getting closer and closer to Gu Lingqing.

With a smile on the corner of Gu Lingqing's mouth, she stepped forward and stopped the lantern, put it in her hand, and then carefully looked at the handwriting on the lantern. I am afraid that no one other than Zhao Min could write the crooked words.

Gu Qi stood aside, looked at the river lantern that Gu Lingqing was holding in his hand, and saw a smile on his face, it must be the river lantern that Zhao Min put down.

Thinking of this, Gu Qi lowered his expression and felt a little displeased. After seeing Zhao Min and Zheng Yihui walking towards them in the distance, he casually took a river lantern from the river.

"How? How? Let me see the river lantern you two got!"

Zhao Min came from a distance, and after seeing the river lanterns in both hands, he asked enthusiastically.

Gu Lingqing handed the river lantern in his hand to Zhao Min, and Zhao Min knew that the river lantern in front of him was his without looking carefully: "Ah! You actually found mine, let me see, let me see , Gu Qi, did you get Miss Zheng's river lantern?"

Zhao Min took the river lantern from Gu Qi's hand and placed it in front of Zheng Yihui: "Miss Zheng, is this your river lantern?"

Zheng Yihui shook her head without looking at it carefully, the color of this river lantern was totally different from the one she put on.

It's just that Zheng Yihui didn't focus on this, but noticed that Zhao Min dared to call King Qi by his name just now, yes, and King Qi didn't show any sign of anger after hearing her address.

When Gu Qi was sure that Gu Lingqing was holding Zhao Min's river lantern, he felt very uncomfortable.

But Zhao Min didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she just played it as a game, and Zhao Min didn't believe in the saying that finding her own river lantern would make her a happy marriage for a hundred years.

At this time, Zhao Min yawned in front of everyone regardless of his image. Seeing this, Gu Lingqing said goodbye to Gu Qi: "It's getting late today, let's go out to play together some other day."

Gu Qi looked at Zhao Min with some reluctance in his eyes, but seeing the tired look on her face, he was too embarrassed to do more to keep her: "Okay."

Zheng Yihui looked at the backs of Gu Lingqing and Zhao Min leaving, thinking in her heart: It seems that this woman must not be ignored.

Zheng Yihui is very careful and good at observing everyone's small expressions. Although she can't grasp Gu Qi's thoughts for Zhao Min very accurately, she does seem to have a good impression.

"Miss Zheng, I will take you back home."

Hearing Gu Qi's voice ringing in her ears, Zheng Yihui came back from her own thoughts and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness King Qi."
