After dressing up as a vicious female supporting character, she turned into a white moonlight

Chapter 9 When fate comes, we gather together
  Zhang Quanfu understood what His Majesty meant, so he took the initiative to answer the question, "What's the matter, girl?"

Xiao Tingyun thought for a while, since he had bumped into it by accident, why not give it a try? Maybe I am really destined for someone!

So he quickly explained the purpose of his visit, "I just heard from my young master that the lotus flowers in this lotus pond need to be picked at a specific time and can only be given to those who are destined. Today happens to be the lotus picking day, so I want to beg a few lotus flowers from the young master. I don't know. Can the little girl get her wish?"

Zhang Quanfu was smiling at first, thinking that the daughter of another family saw a good-looking young man and came here to meet him by chance.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Quanfu's smile suddenly froze on his face, his eyes widened, and his usually smart speech stuttered, "This, this, we..."

After all, I don’t know His Majesty’s identity, so I should be confused by His Majesty’s face, right? ? ! !

Zhang Quanfu had a stiff smile on his face and turned to look at his Majesty? ? Still so handsome! !
  Now even Pei Yuning raised his eyes and looked over, Xiao Tingyun was a little confused.

Is it true that I am so unlucky that I can't even be a destined person? ? ?

"Can the young master be successful?" Xiao listened to Pei Yuning's eyes on the top of the cloud, feeling extremely stressed, and asked again without giving up.

Complete?

Pei Yuning couldn't help but feel funny. This was the first time he thought of himself as a lotus picker.

"The girl said it's all right, so she also knows that this gift of lotus was given by fate." Pei Yuning put down the lotus in his hand, got up from the boat and came ashore, his voice was clear and smooth, but it was hard to ignore.

Only then did Xiao Tingyun realize that he was extremely tall. There is also a piece of warm jade hanging around his waist.

After retracting his thoughts, Xiao Tingyun raised his eyes to the person in front of him. He was stunned by the dark color in his eyes. He calmed down and asked, "What is the 'fate' that the young master mentioned?"

Could it be that there are hundreds of thousands of "destinies"? ?

Pei Yuning turned the sandalwood incense beads on her wrist, and read the scriptures on it again and again, "If fate comes, we will gather together. Today is... Meeting is fate. You are the first lotus seeker I have met, so... …”

Pei Yuning said and stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Quanfu. Zhang Quanfu immediately bent down and took out the freshly picked lotus and handed it to him.

Pei Yuning took it and sent it to Xiao Tingyun, "Gift it to those who are destined!"

The man's clean hands held a budding lotus.

ha? It turns out that today’s “fate” is that you will be given if you ask!

Xiao Tingyun took it and asked carefully after hesitation, "Then... do you need to offer some incense?"

Incense?

Pei Yuning was startled after hearing this, then chuckled, "No need."

Zhang Quanfu, who was behind him, was secretly shocked when he heard His Majesty's laughter. His Majesty had not been in a good mood these past few days, and the people serving him did not dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. This was the first time in several days that he had such an obvious smile.

Yes, this is the first girl who wants to give incense to his Majesty.

How brave you are!
  Does his Majesty need your two taels of incense? !
  Xiao Tingyun blushed slightly because of the laughter. No need, no need. Why are you laughing?

"Thank you for the lotus, young master. I'll take my leave, little lady." Xiao Tingyun took the lotus and was about to leave.

As soon as he took a step, Xiao Tingyun paused again, turned to the side and asked a little embarrassedly, "Then...can I also give you a lotus pod?"

Pei Yuning followed her gaze and saw her staring intently at the lotus pods in the boat.

Now Pei Yuning was a little curious about what she was thinking? Look at it so seriously.

But he didn't ask further questions and just asked the guard Li Ming to go down and get it for her.

After Xiao Tingyun's hands were filled with lotus pods, Xiao Tingyun took the others away with satisfaction.

Pei Yuning also heard her saying to the maid, "This time we have lotus soup and lotus seed porridge..."

Thinking what?
  Want a big pot of lotus soup and lotus seed porridge?
  Zhang Quanfu and Li Ming looked at each other: This girl has a big heart!

Pei Yuning turned sideways and looked at the person further and further away, with a somewhat helpless look on his face, that's all...

"Which family is she from?" Pei Yuning asked Zhang Quanfu.

Zhang Quanfu lowered his body and said, "I don't know him either, I guess he is new to Beijing."

Li Ming knew it, after all, he was the one who climbed on other girls' walls yesterday!
  "Your Majesty, she is the third young lady of the Xiao family." Li Ming cupped his hands and replied.

From the Xiao family? The daughter of Mr. Xiao.

It turns out that she was the one who invited Jingkong to go there because of her poor health yesterday.

I just don’t know how Xiao Shilang raised his daughter, I have to ask him when I have time.

A daughter who had unknowingly caused a little trouble for her father was happily preparing lotus soup.

I was about to let the servants take the lotus to prepare it, but when I handed it over, I paused, pinched the root of the lotus with my fingers, and said in a light but clear voice, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, he took back the lotus flower and took out a story book.

Carefully take off the outer layer of the lotus. A pink petal has a bit of fragrance, and the one near the root is light milky white. When you hold it in Xiao Tingyun's white and translucent palm, you have the illusion that you are playing with a fine white jade. , she bent slightly and sniffed, it was a faint fragrance.

Xiao Tingyun thought of the piece of jade on his waist, and looked at it carefully when she lowered her eyebrows. What is carved on the jade is a red carp, with a lotus wrapped around it.

The man's fingers were slender but not as weak as those of ordinary scholars.

Xiao Tingyun suddenly froze when she realized what she was thinking, and even the petals in her hand became hot.

I hurriedly put the petals into the storybook and closed the book. I could no longer see the colorful touch.

"Green branches, take them down!" He ordered outside.

Luzhi came in and took away the lotus and lotus seeds and asked, "What's wrong with the lady? Why is her face so red?"

Xiao Tingyun raised her hand and touched her face, "Maybe it's due to the heat outside. It's okay. You can go down first."

Luzhi looked at it for a moment, and after finding nothing, he settled down. He left a lotus pod as Xiao Tingyun said, and then took away the remaining lotus seeds.

"Auntie!" Xiao Tingyun's cute voice brought Xiao Tingyun back from her thoughts.

Xiao Ji'an, a child with short legs, opened the door and stepped in carefully.

Followed by An Geer's wet nurse.

Xiao Tingyun smiled when she heard this, "Come to Auntie!"

Brother An threw himself into Xiao Tingyun's arms, blinking his big eyes, "Aunt~"

"The little mouth is so sweet, you have eaten honey." Xiao Tingyun pinched his little nose and asked gently.

An Geer shook his head, "I didn't eat honey, I ate porridge!"

"What's going on with this porridge? Why does it make Brother An so sweet after eating it?" Xiao Tingyun tapped Brother An's chin.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Tingyun asked Mama Li, the wet nurse at the back.

Mother Li said with a smile, "The young master just finished resting and wanted to find the third lady. He said he wanted to study with the third lady."

"Really? Our brother An can already study?" Xiao Tingyun seemed surprised, "What books have you learned, brother An? Do you want to read it to your aunt?"

"The Three Character Classic!" An Geer clapped his hands happily.

"At the beginning of human life, nature is good~"

Xiao Ji'an read a few sentences, then opened her big eyes and asked for praise.

"No more?" Xiao Tingyun asked casually.

"Yeah!" The little guy's eyes were sure, and he knew how to ask for rewards, "Rewards, rewards!"

Xiao Tingyun held her forehead and said, "You are here to ask for a reward. If my aunt can't help it, your treasury will be emptied."

An Ge'er didn't understand and tilted his head to act cute.

"If you recite it again, my aunt will reward you with a bowl of lotus soup." Xiao Tingyun didn't feel guilty at all when teasing the child.

An Geer understood and nodded vigorously, ready to do it again, "The beginning of man, the beginning of man..."

As a result, the little brat spent a long time in his new life and forgot the last sentence.

Brother An raised his head and looked at Xiao Tingyun pitifully, "Auntie, I forgot..."

Xiao Tingyun:...

"Pfft hahahahahahahahaha" Xiao Tingyun laughed unceremoniously.

This laughter made An Geer understand that he had made a fool of himself.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, aunt, brother An, I forgot..." She cried so hard that she felt sad.

Xiao Tingyun took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and coaxed, "Okay, okay, if you don't cry, my aunt will still give you lotus soup."

"Well..." The crying stopped suddenly, and Xiao Ji'an still had tears in his eyes, "Really?"

Xiao Tingyun:...

She knew that she was crying not because she didn't recite it, but because of the bowl of soup!
  "Really!" He agreed helplessly, who knew this was his own nephew.

"Hehehehe..." Brother An suddenly laughed.

"You're a little devil. I don't know who I learned from to act like a snack!"

Xiao Tingyun looked at the little kid wiping his eyes with his handkerchief and couldn't help but complain.

"I didn't learn this from you!" A joke came from outside the door, which surprised Xiao Tingyun.
