The female supporting role never believes in fate

"Fifth brother, you are being polite. You are the protagonist of this palace banquet. I have already given you a marriage for my brother, so I came here to accompany you today. You are so interesting because you came late. Do you want to steal your limelight?"

The Fourth Prince never lost his words.Although he has a cold face and is not a person who can mess around and quarrel, he can always kill with one blow.

As soon as the fourth prince finished speaking, a noble lady laughed lightly and turned her head to see that it was Bai Xiaoling.

Princess Fucheng glared at Bai Xiaoling, then stole a glance at the unusually silent Cheng Yulou, and then looked at Li Ke again.

Sure enough, Li Ke's eyes just left Cheng Yulou and looked at the fourth prince.

"Fourth brother was joking. It is said that fourth brother was late to awaken, and the father and queen mother were not less anxious about it. They sent sister Mei Qing, the queen mother's right-hand man, to the fourth brother's house. Now they are walking ahead of the brothers overnight. Seeing that after the gift of marriage, the marriage is imminent, the younger brothers should find an opportunity to talk to the sister-in-law about the good things about the fourth brother back then."

Hearing this, Li Mian's eyes darkened, "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, don't approach your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law has a bad temper, if you bump into her, fourth brother can't control her."

Li Ke, holding a wine glass, raised his eyebrows in response, showing no signs of fear.

Li Mian stared at each other.

Two brothers, I don't know what kind of lawsuit they are fighting.

All the noble ladies looked at the only two of the princes who were crowned as adults, and their eyes were full of splendor for a while, and the hatchback moved.

One is deep and reliable, Yushu faces the wind.

A gentle and elegant, romantic and suave.

What a good son-in-law.

It's a pity that both of them have their own masters, and the noble ladies will naturally not be willing to degrade themselves and pry other people's corners.

But for the fourth prince, the status has been decided, but not for the fifth prince.

Cheng Yulou, who kept a low profile all night, was proud and angry at the same time when he saw the looks of the goddesses.

The pride is naturally that she has won the favor of the fifth prince among the dragon and phoenix, and the anger is naturally the unwillingness of the girls.

"Okay, Mian'er, sit down and listen to the play. The troupe has been lining up for more than a month. Everyone, please watch and don't waste it."

The queen gave advice.

Everyone returned to their senses in embarrassment.

That's right, when a good show is going on, they just want to watch the show as long as they can, and it's frivolous to be frivolous.

For a while, the field returned to calm, and everyone focused on the stage.

...

"Your Majesty, at the small yellow gate of the Ninghui Palace, I saw a female official taking the eldest lady into the harem, and it seems to be going along the wall to the Forbidden Mountain in the northeast corner."

Mei Ling whispered into the Queen's ear, with a hint of worry in her words.

Jingshan has always been disliked by people because of its messy and dense trees. They feel that it is gloomy and unlucky, so the palace people gave it another nickname of "Forbidden Mountain".

What's more important is that there were palace people who didn't believe in evil and wanted to take a shortcut, but lost their way after entering. If the empress hadn't been kind-hearted and used the forbidden army to look for it, the palace lady might have disappeared.

Knowing that Cheng Yu was imprisoned in the Forbidden Mountain, Mei Ling was naturally anxious.

After hearing Mei Ling's report, the queen subconsciously looked at the Dabo Lake in front of her.

Forbidden Mountain is surrounded by water on three sides, and this water is Dabo Lake.

In other words, Cheng Yuguan was in the Forbidden Mountain opposite them at this time.

Seeing that Mei Ling's complexion was not right, the fourth prince got up and came to the queen mother, leaned over and listened to it, Li Mian's expression darkened when he heard it.

There is cause and effect in the world, but in the palace, the most unbelievable thing is coincidence.

When he first came to the banquet, he heard Mei Ling say that the empress had changed places, and he was still wondering, how could she be changed to Dabo Lake where few people come here on weekdays?

Now, everything seems to have an answer.

Li Mian's eyes swept over the ladies on the field, is it her?is her?or her?
Li Mian was not present, but the queen was there the whole time. Thinking of all the noble ladies and Li Ke, who were leading them here one by one, the queen's eyes darkened.

I'm afraid that some people are unintentional and some are intentional. It's hard to distinguish between true and false.

"Mian'er, go find Cheng Liuchuan."

Cheng Liuchuan was promoted to the chief of the imperial army, and he was naturally the counterpart for this matter.

Before Li Mian took the order to go, there was a sudden loud sound of falling into the water on the opposite side, causing everyone to scream and stand up, looking at the opposite side in surprise.

Li Mian took a step forward, in front of the crowd, and looked across.

Although Dabo Lake is large, it is slender and slender, like a crescent moon surrounding the Forbidden Mountain.

Therefore, all the noble ladies and palace servants could clearly see Cheng Yuguan with her skirt tied around her waist, who was unruly and disrespectful, waving to them on the other side.

It was she who threw a boulder into the lake just now and made the noise.

Li Mian looked around immediately, but did not see a ship.After all, it has been deserted here for many years.

At that moment, he cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted to Cheng Yuguan who was opposite, "Wait, I'll go find the boat!"

Cheng Yuguan on the other side listened earnestly, and immediately waved vigorously, "No! I'll go back right away!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yuguan jumped into the water and swam over!
The same is true of Liuyun.

The two of them even swam smoothly and quickly, and before everyone could react, they almost swam to the front.

In Tongcheng, there is a custom of swimming in water.No matter men, women or children, they all have good swimming skills.

Liuyun grew up in the countryside of Tongcheng, where there is no distinction between men and women. Boys and girls grew up in the water. After the Qingming cold food, before the autumnal equinox, in rivers and lakes, there are always boys and girls who compete with each other.

They competed in posture and speed. If anyone has a good posture of "flying like a frightened bird, graceful like a dragon", they will even get extra points and make people like it.

In Tongcheng City, although men and women are not allowed to play together, boys are together and girls are together, and they always have to compete with each other.

Although after getting older, he is no longer as simple and carefree as when he was a child, but he does not reject going into the water.

Cheng Yuguan took Liuyun into the water. After walking for a long time, the good silk material on her body was scratched, and she was in a mess. She was in a mess under the eyes of everyone. Under the gaze of the woman, he was pointed and laughed at.

The other is also to vent my anger.

She naturally knew that today she was in the right place and was being teased.

But she just didn't want to bear it.

She wants to swim over freely and let the calculating person see, so what if you put all your effort into it?On the contrary, let me play a game, and it will not harm me in the slightest.If the calculation fails, the person who has worked hard will definitely feel annoyed and jump.

Cheng Yuguan held back his breath, wanting to make that person die of anger.

As a result, Cheng Yuguan swam halfway through like a fish, and then swam towards this side with a graceful and swift posture.

Li Mian came back to his senses in an instant, quickly put the maid behind the empress on the table, and grabbed a jade-colored quilt.

The moment Cheng Yu turned off the water, he wrapped him up.

Cheng Yuguan opened a road in the mountains, and found the direction again, exhausted all her efforts, but it was the sound of opera here that made her finally confirm the direction.

Exhausted, she held her breath just now, and swam with all her strength. At this time, Cheng Yu was exhausted and unable to speak, but she was happy in her heart.

On his face was a happy smile that had never been seen before, after exhausting the last bit of strength in his body.

That smile seemed dazzling, and his eyes were bent into a crescent moon.

Cheng Yulou, Princess Fushan, Princess Fucheng, even the Fifth Prince, Empress, and Mei Ling, who thought she was taciturn and like a wooden man, were not in the mood to be shocked by the relaxed and wanton appearance. , but looked at Cheng Yuguan's smile, not knowing what to say.

There seemed to be a huge shock flashing in my heart.

So are the ladies.

They only heard that Cheng Yuguan was boring and deep, and thought that after she was teased, she would definitely explode on the spot, showing a hideous, ugly face and furious face. Then they took the opportunity to say a few sarcastic remarks, which could be regarded as an outburst of anger.

No one expected that Cheng Yuguan was smiling when he came up from the water.

Liu Yun also came up at this time, and was wrapped in a sheet by Mei Ling. Liu Yun took a few deep breaths, smiled and looked at Cheng Yuguan, his voice was unprecedentedly excited, happy, and clear.

"Miss, swimming in the water in this palace is so enjoyable! It's been a long time since I've swam like this!"

Why did Cheng Yuguan find Liu Yun by his side? It was because they were the same in their bones.

Under the watchful eyes of many well-dressed nobles, neither of them felt embarrassed, but for the first time, they only felt carefree and enjoyable!
This feeling is more exhilarating than running 3000 meters!
Cheng Yuguan stretched out his hand, Liu Yun clapped his hands, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone just watched, but seemed to understand the joy of the two of them.

It's not a cover-up with a forced smile, it's really fun!
This kind of contagion made all the ladies couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

The same is true for the empress and Li Mian, who were originally worried, but seeing Cheng Yuguan's grandeur, a smile appeared on their faces.

Only Cheng Yulou, from secret joy to secret hatred, looked from the two clapping hands to everyone, and finally to the fifth prince behind her.

She originally thought that the eyes of the two would meet, but unexpectedly, the fifth prince also looked at Cheng Yuguan, smiling!

"Today, I'm begging for a coincidence, I'm showing my ugliness! Everyone continue to eat and listen to the music. I'll go down and change my clothes first!"

Cheng Yuguan tied the scarf with the palace sash around his waist, raised his hands, and exited the stage thinking he was handsome.

The girls watched their two masters and servants leave, and they chattered for a while.

"This Cheng Yuguan is very interesting. Who said she was withdrawn and deep?"

"But don't you think it's unbelievable? It's too reckless for any lady to swim here like this!"

"But I don't think it's reckless. Don't you think she swam over like this and smiled so freely, you don't know why, but you also get excited?"

A few noble girls nodded, they should be reckless and stupid, why are they also excited with Cheng Yuguan?

They don't know that there is a word in later generations called "secondary school", which means that they don't care about face and just follow their own heart, which is inexplicable and exciting!
In Cheng Yuguan's bones, before she was a teenager, she had a deep secondary soul. After she became an adult, face, caressing, gains and losses, deeply suppressed her nature, but she still occasionally came out a little.

Like today.

She really wanted to appear as a winner, so she swam with the last of her strength.

Maybe I have fallen into your way, but I am just happy!
On the way back to the palace, Cheng Yuguan held the quilt, the smile on her face couldn't be put away at all, she felt that she had won.

"Is that so happy?"

Li Mian hugged Cheng Yuguan, and it was the princess.

Cheng Yuguan, who wanted to hold his last breath, was actually a little weak.

This is the release of force after exhaustion.

I can't exit the stage handsomely, and it's the same for Li Mian holding her, which can piss people off.

Out of everyone's sight, Li Mian walked slowly back with Cheng Yuguan in his arms.

Some palace servants supported Liu Yun and followed behind the two, but they all tacitly moved away to leave room for the two.

"You can come out."

Li Mian sighed.

"Of course. You can understand it by looking at the density of the trees. When I was young, I learned from the mountain craftsman to identify the direction in the mountains."

It turned out that it was Cheng Yuguan's combination of multiple experiences that allowed him to come out of the Forbidden Mountain.

"It's stupid."

Li Mian said with a sigh.

Cheng Yuguan's mouth seemed to be stiff, unable to drop it, but she still had a surge of excitement from her heart.

"I'm just stupid."

Cheng Yuguan generously admitted.

She doesn't want to be called stupid, but she will say that she is stupid.

The word "stupid" is disrespectful to others, but Cheng Yuguan likes it very much. Over the years, she will deliberately keep herself a little "stupid", so that she will not be worn out by her inner jealousy and injustice into what she least likes. to become a so-called qualified adult.

"Are you tired? What do you want to eat?"

Li Mian asked softly.

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "After walking for two hours, it's almost dark, I'm tired, I don't want to eat, I just want to sleep."

When Cheng Yuguan entered the palace, it was just after noon, but the sun was setting to the west, and the sunlight also changed from golden to a darker orange.

At this time, there happened to be a palace official from Fengyi Palace, carrying a spring stool.It is inconvenient to drive a sedan chair, and a spring stool is more suitable.

Li Mian carefully put Cheng Yuguan down on the spring stool, "Go to sleep, I have already had someone notify General Cheng, and I will give you an explanation tonight."

"Ah."

Cheng Yuguan agreed, but her voice lowered. She was really tired, and her eyes were blurred unconsciously, as if she was about to fall asleep.

...

Cheng Yuguan swam in the water at the queen's palace banquet, and they dispersed.

Everyone left the palace in twos and threes with inexplicable hearts.

"Big sister is like this. She will act silly from time to time. After all, she is from the Cheng family village. The rustic spirit is in her bones and can't fade away."

Cheng Yulou said leisurely.

Beside her was Li Ke, the two walked side by side, and Li Ke sent Cheng Yulou out of the palace.

"The palace servants of Qingliang Palace won't be found out, right?"

Cheng Yulou continued.Although there is a cold palace, no one will go there easily.

Li Ke shook his head, "No, the head of the Qingliang Palace is from the hometown of my mother and concubine, and she is very reliable. Besides, who will find the Qingliang Palace unless the palace is turned upside down. Just for Cheng Yuguan swimming water?"

Speaking of the word "swimming water", Li Ke couldn't help laughing.

With a light cough, Li Ke looked at Cheng Yulou next to him, "Can you swim?"

Cheng Yulou was surprised, as if looking at Li Ke with strange eyes, "What are you talking about? How could I do such a shameful thing?"

Seeing this, Li Ke nodded, but said with a sigh, "Yes, no one wants to see you when you are disrespectful."

silence.

After a long time, Cheng Yulou said, "Will Your Highness smile at me like that, and then take me away?"

Li Ke was also silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Who can lay down decency?Maybe only some—— people.
