National Beauty

Duke Duanhui mainly went to the palace to have fun with the people. Emperor Xuande was reluctant to reject the only little princess. Thinking about the fact that King Chu and King Rui had a family, he asked the third oldest king to look at Princess Duanhui and the fourth princes. Princess Hui expected that the Guo family brothers and sisters would come to Qinghe Street, and had been waiting early, so she had this "incidental encounter."

"Cousin, we rented a boat. Let's swim the river together?" Princess Duanhui said in a warm manner, looking at Guo Xiao, who was so handsome under the moonlight.

"Okay, okay!" Before Guo Xiao could answer, Yun Fang agreed. He looked at the water happily, pointed to the most magnificent boat and asked, "Is it this?"

Princess Duanhui nodded, and then said to Guo Xiao: "The dock has to go a little further forward, let's go quickly."

Guo Xiao said, "We will go back to the house after we put the river lantern on. Let my cousin go with the two halls. It's cool at night, so don't delay outside for too long."

Princess Duanhui was unhappy and grabbed his arm and acted like a baby: "I can hardly make a trip to the palace. My cousin will stay with me..."

Yunfang yelled at him: "That's right. Besides, didn't the elder brother agree before going out? You can go back later tonight."

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Princess Duanhui looked at her cousin suspiciously, staring at her and said, "Couldn't cousin not want to accompany me, so she uses excuses to prevaricate me?"

Guo Xiao frowned: "What nonsense."

"Then you will accompany me to swim the river!" Princess Duanhui took his arm and walked forward. Guo Xiao didn't want to go, and didn't want to give Shouwang more chances to see his step-sister. Now Princess Duanhui is arrogant. He subconsciously wants to see Song Jianing. Only his head moved, Yun Fang suddenly pushed his shoulder from behind. They are all sisters, Guo Xiao helplessly said in a deep voice, "Okay, you can swim in the river as you swim in the river, so what kind of style is it?"

Princess Duanhui and Yunfang just let go.

Guo Xiao turned back in front of the Shou King and the Fourth Prince, and respectfully said: "We have a large number of brothers and sisters, and one boat is inevitably crowded. Why not take the two boats together, and let us rent another boat to follow. ?"

Zhao Heng remained silent, and the four princes said boldly: "The elder son is too worried. If you come out to play, you will have to be crowded and lively. Let's get together."

Guo Xiao can only appreciate: "Then it will be annoying."

After the negotiation, the group moved to the dock a few meters away. Princess Duanhui grabbed Guo Xiao's left position, Yunfang went to take Princess Duanhui's arm again, Song Jianing walked behind Yunfang. Seeing the four princes, Guo Shu frequently glanced here, and the brothers winked at each other. Before the four princes came together to strike up a conversation, they occupied the left and right sides of the little cousin.

The four princes had no choice but to walk obliquely behind Song Jianing and watch Song Jianing talk to her sideways: "Cousin Jianing, did you paint the carp on the river lantern by yourself? I have never seen a fish painting in the palace." Many people put on the river lanterns to join in the fun and celebrate tonight as a festival, but after all, Zhongyuan is a day to worship the ancestors. The small fishes painted on the river lanterns are solemn.

Song Jianing lowered his head and glanced at the small fish on the lotus-shaped lamp holder, his face turned red slowly, and he was embarrassed to explain. It was the first time to make a river lantern for her biological father. At the age of seven, she was worried that the paper river lantern would sink before it floated far, so she drew a small fish on each lotus petal, hoping that the fish could help her make the river lantern. Swim faster. When she grows up, Song Jianing naturally knows that painting fish will not work, but this has become her habit.

"Four girls, the prince also thinks your river lantern is unique, can you show it to the prince?"

Song Jianing looked back in surprise, and saw that King Shou was standing on the side of the fourth prince, with Father Fu being by his side. Father Fu smiled, Song Jianing shifted his gaze to Wang Shou's face, Shou Wang's misty eyes were looking at her... the river lantern in her hand. After a brief accident, Song Jianing nodded softly and walked towards him holding the river lantern.

Zhao Heng paused.

Song Jianing held a lamp in her hand, looked at the man’s shirt, and whispered: “I paint casually, making the prince laugh.” She has seen Shouwang’s cherry blossoms and witnessed the depiction of peony by Shouwang. Song Jianing doesn’t know how. Tasting, but from her point of view, the flowers painted by King Shou Wang are all real, not worse than those who have lived through the ages.

Zhao Heng was silent and only took the lamp in her hand. He lowered his eyes, Shoulidi did not look at the sacrificial text on the lampshade, and quickly glanced at the chubby black carp on the lampshade. Zhao Heng's gaze fell on the girl in front of him without a trace. I haven't seen her for a summer. She has grown a little bit taller, her apricot eyes are still moist, her lips are still full, only her face, which is as thin as fat, seems to be reduced a bit. When I was fat, I was charming and charming, and suddenly I lost weight, and I became sick and pitiful.

"Quite childlike." Zhao Heng returned the river lantern to her and commented briefly.

Song Jianing blushed and bowed her head and said, "Thank you for your praise." It's a compliment, after all, there is a word for "interest".

"Let's go." Zhao Heng said again.

Song Jianing hummed, carrying the river lantern and returned to the twins. Tonight, she was in white clothes and white dress, and she was made small and slender by two burly cousins. The evening breeze was blowing on her face, her skirt swaying like a wind Magnolia is beautiful, but it has a touch of sadness. Zhao Heng had never seen her like this before, so he couldn't help but think about it. Did she encounter something unhappy in Guo's family, or did she simply miss her biological father?

Song Jianing didn't think about anything at this moment, only the bustling night view of Qinghe Street was in her eyes. When she reached the dock, she stood on one side consciously, waiting for Princess Duanhui and the two princes to go first. Guo Xiao, just like that year, helped Princess Duanhui, and after the Shouwang and the Fourth Prince went up, he looked at the four brothers and sisters of Song Jianing.

Yunfang stepped briskly.

Song Jianing glanced at Guo Xiao's figure, pursed his lips, held the second cousin Guo Fu's sleeve with a portable lamp. Guo Fu misunderstood his sister's timidity, he laughed twice, and then he took his sister on the painting boat very considerately, and Guo Xiao had left the boat board after noticing Song Jianing's small movements.

After getting on the boat, everyone gradually divided into several small circles.

Princess Duanhui never leaves Guo Xiao. Although Guo Xiao wants to stay with her stepsister, he knows that Princess Duanhui does not like her stepsister. In order to avoid conflict, she can only hold back Princess Duanhui and only send Guo Fu to take care of her stepsister. . Guo Shu is responsible for guarding Yunfang, and Zhao Heng sits alone and ignores anyone. The fourth prince wanted to talk a lot with the cousin Jianing, who was very good at a glance, but he vaguely felt that tonight’s cousin Jianing didn’t seem to have fun, so when he was only sixteen, he liked the lively fourth prince and hesitated for a moment. I went to see Guo Shu and Yunfang brothers and sisters.

Guo Xiao and Princess Duanhui took the bow, Zhao Heng took the stern, Guo Shu took the north side of the hull, and Song Jianing came to the south bank. It's just that there are railings on both sides of the painting boat. Even if Song Jianing is lying on the railing, he can't let the river lamp touch the water. There is no way, so he has to go to the stern. Princess Duanhui was chattering on the bow, Song Jia would rather not go to the fun, the Shouwang is different, and the Shouwang is cold and warm, so it's definitely not a matter of comparison.

"Master, I will leave after I put the river lantern on." Song Jianing whispered to ask for instructions when he carried the river lantern and walked behind the prince Shou who was standing in his hand.

Zhao Heng tilted his head, glanced at her, and nodded.

Song Jianing bowed, and then squatted down with the skirt. There was no railing on this side, but looking at the low board, there was still some distance from the surface of the water. Song Jianing cautiously held the boat board in one hand, and slowly lowered the river lamp with the other hand. The whole lamp holder touched the surface of the water before she let go. The painting boat moved forward slowly, the river lights floated to the other side with the waves, and the lights floated farther and farther.

Song Jianing will inevitably feel sad when he touches the scene.

"An'an, get up, it's cold outside, go sit inside." My sister is a bit pitiful, Guo Fu whispered.

Song Jianing hummed, and stood up straight with the help of her brother. He hadn't stood still, and the accident happened suddenly, and the hull shook violently for some reason! In order to help his sister, Guo Fu bent over and leaned forward. When the boat shook, his feet were not stabilized, and one end fell into the water. Song Jianing's arm was pulled by him, and she was about to fall into the water with that force. At this moment, her right arm was suddenly caught by another stronger force, and she just pulled her back!

The panicked Song Jianing rushed into an embrace without warning, her chest was broad and strong, and her Yuebai robe carried the seemingly fragrant plum. The hull was still shaking gently, Song Jianing, like a rootless duckweed, instinctively hugged the man she was relying on. He stood very steadily, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, Song Jianing raised his head with lingering fear, and faced a handsome and innocent face. The bright moon hangs high, and the longevity king Zhao Heng is tall and straight, looking at her with cold eyes without any emotion.

Song Jianing's memory, inexplicably returned to her last life before she died, when she was lying on the ground, the new emperor also looked down like an ant.

Song Jianing returned to the sound of footsteps in his ears, and quickly hid back, Zhao Heng also immediately withdrew his hands.

Song Jianing knew that she should be thankful, but Yu Guangzhong had already appeared in the figure of Guo Xiao. Song Jianing turned her head to the other side subconsciously. With this twist, she was shocked to find that her cousin Guo Fu was fluttering in the water. But he was soaked and embarrassed, like a chicken out of soup.

Song Jianing was worried and wanted to laugh again. She tried to hold it back, but Guo Shu who rushed over laughed loudly, showing no sympathy for her brother.

"What's going on!" Guo Fu asked when he climbed onto the boat and stared.

Princess Duanhui was at the bow of the ship, understanding the situation, and explained with a smile: "A child fell into the water on the shore, and the boatman hurriedly pushed it apart and accidentally ran into the next ship."

Guo Fu wanted to beat the boatman, but when he learned that there was a cause, he didn't bother to care about the boatman, and ran into the boat tent with his arms trembling. In mid-July, the day was hot, and sooner or later it had turned cold. He wanted to change his clothes. Guo Shu and the fourth princes chased in and fell into the pit. Guo Xiao glanced at the King Shou who was only two steps away from his stepsister, looked at Song Jianing and asked, "Is it all right?"

Song Jianing shook his head, not looking at anything.

Guo Xiao's expression didn't change much, but his eyes were cold. Just after the boat shook, he steadied his cousin and hurried back, and saw the scene where his stepsister and Shou Wang went from embracing to parting. If King Shou simply helped her step-sister, the step-sister would have no ghost in her heart. When he asked like this, the step-sister would look at King Shou, but now she pretended that nothing happened...

There was a fire in his chest, and Guo Xiao didn't want to stay for a moment, and shouted to the boatman: "Get on the shore!"
