Peerless Moe Concubine: Get the Black Belly of Your Highness

Chapter 129 Meeting in the Lotus Pond
"It's really beautiful! Not only does the empress like it, but the palace also likes it so much!" The queen empress laughed beside her.

"If you break off the pink lotus and put it in the glass bottle that the barbarians just bought from Ai's family, it will be so beautiful!" The empress dowager couldn't help but said happily.

"Since the mother likes it, the daughter-in-law can call the guards to come and get it?" The queen said softly.

"Where can I call guards, with their filthy hands, the Ai family still hates that they will tarnish that pink lotus!" The empress dowager said with frowned eyebrows.

"What the Empress Dowager said is true, and Yan'er has also heard that this dusty flower needs to be folded by a young girl's Qianqian hands to maintain its original fragrance!" Li Yan'er on the side also echoed.

As soon as these words came out, embarrassment appeared on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere froze for a while.

"The servant girl went over and folded it?" Zhu'er beside the empress dowager said hastily.

"Zhu'er, didn't you sprain your ankle the day before yesterday? If you got wet, you might not recover!" The Empress Dowager said with frowned eyebrows.

"Yes!" Zhu'er pursed her lips uncomfortably.

Several ladies in the field looked at the path to pick the pink lotus. If you want to pick the pink lotus, you must go down to the pontoon bridge. There are several stone steps beside the pontoon bridge to stand on. They are said to be stone steps, but in fact there is water flooding over them. Yes, it is because of the age that there is green moss on the stone steps, which is very slippery, and there is a danger of falling into the water if you are not careful.

The young ladies came here today in their best attires, all of them dressed in colorful flowers, and even their shoes were brand new. At this time, they had to take off their shoes and socks when they were going to cut the boat and fold the lotus. People are unwilling to do it.

The empress dowager and the empress looked at the few people, all of them showed embarrassing expressions, only to hear Li Yan'er frowned and said: "Yan'er is afraid of water, a few days ago, there was a A maid fell into the water, Yan'er was terrified, and seeing this lotus pond, she was even more terrified!"

"Bao'er doesn't even dare!"

"Hui'er doesn't even dare!"

"Lan'er doesn't dare either!"

As the voices of several people fell, the eyes of the empress dowager and the empress fell on Nalan Qing.

"Where's Qinger?" The Empress Dowager called Nalan Qing by her boudoir name.

Nalan Qing's eyes struggled, and she wanted to win the favor of the queen mother and queen, but when she saw the slippery moss, she started to retreat, and a brilliant idea came to her in a flash of her heart When she came out, she smiled and said: "It's better to let the fourth younger sister go, the fourth younger sister is very good at water, that day when Qinger almost fell into the water when Ruoshui River was praying, it was the fourth younger sister who saved Qinger!"

Nalan Ying frowned, wishing she could throw Nalan Qing's foot into the lotus pond, she didn't want to dive, but she dragged others into the water, it was really abhorrent.

"I didn't expect the fourth girl to have such abilities? The Ai family wants to see it too!" Sure enough, Nalan Ying successfully attracted the Queen Mother's attention.

A smile flashed in Nalan Ying's eyes: "Since the empress dowager likes the pink lotus, Ying'er has no choice but to give it a try and see if she can fulfill the wish of the empress dowager!"

"Fourth sister, look at what you said, what do you mean can you? It must be possible. This is to please the queen mother!" Nalan Qingjiao said with a smile.

A stern look flashed across Nalan Ying's eyes, but then she suppressed it again, and immediately sat on the ground, took off her shoes and socks, revealing a pair of slender white feet, and walked slowly towards the stone steps.

"Be careful!" The empress dowager told her standing on the pontoon bridge.

Nalan Ying didn't answer, but walked up to the stone steps with all her concentration, stepped on the slippery moss, and water seeped into her fingers, which made her frown slightly.

Seeing the small boat parked in front of her, Nalan Ying sank her heart, jumped into the small boat suddenly, and immediately made the empress dowager and queen on the pontoon narrow their eyes happily.

"This girl is really courageous!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help admiring.

"Yes, yes!" The queen agreed, but her gaze was closely following Nalan Ying.

Li Yan'er glared at Nalan Qing fiercely, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. Nalan Qing's scheming was very serious, and no matter what the result was, it would be beneficial to her to push Nalan Ying out. Nalan Ying already has a marriage contract with the Ninth Prince. If she gets this achievement again, the Nalan Mansion will gain another honor next to the Queen Mother. I hope that after she falls into the water, she will not come up again.

Everyone on the shore had different thoughts, but Nalan Ying was sitting on the small boat and paddling the boat very carefully. The water was originally calm and there was no wind or waves, so it didn't take much effort to paddle. Duo Fenhe got closer, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When she got close to the pink lotus, Nalan Ying carefully sat on the small boat, leaned down and took the scissors to cut off the shy and timid pink lotus, when a gust of wind came out, her boat suddenly shook a few times, Her eyes sank, she quickly withdrew the scissors, and firmly fixed the boat. Both hands tightly grasped the edge of the boat, balancing vigorously. It took a while before she dared to let go.

On the shore, everyone looked at her with bated breath. Although they didn't know how dangerous the person they had witnessed was, just looking at her made their hearts rise to their throats.

In a verandah on the other side of the pontoon bridge, a man in red was sitting on the white jade railing, watching the small boat struggling on the water with heavy eyes, and clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Brother Nine Emperors? What are you looking at? Are you looking so seriously?" A slightly lazy voice came, and it was His Royal Highness Feng Lanyue who came walking casually.

"Brother Huang, look, how beautiful is the lotus pond?" A look of joy flashed across Feng Yanli Ruyu's face.

Feng Lanyue looked around, and saw a small boat moving slowly under the blue and clear sky like a fine glazed emerald green, and he was slightly taken aback by the small figure.

"Who is it?" Feng Lanyue asked suspiciously.

"It's Yanli's imperial concubine!" Feng Yanli said in a very proud tone, he didn't know that when he saw the small boat shaking, he had already tightly held it.

"It's the Fourth Miss of Nalan Mansion? Why is it her?" A trace of disgust flashed across Feng Lanyue's eyes.

"She's very brave, look, she really got into the water!" Feng Yanli said anxiously.

"I know, but why does it have to be her? Why shouldn't it be her turn?" A look of doubt flashed in Feng Lanyue's eyes.

"Yanli doesn't know!" Feng Yanli lowered his head sadly and said.

"What's wrong?" Feng Lanyue asked with concern when she saw the sadness in his eyes.
