In the following hour, Yuwen Xiao saw deeply and clearly how deep the relationship between Jiang Shi and Yu Tanqi was.

Jiang Shi was rowing alone at the stern, while Yu Tanqi was sitting quietly and obediently at the bow. He would row wherever she said to go.

Yu Tanqi insisted on picking the lotus pods and lotus flowers herself, and Jiang Shi was staring at her nervously, as if he was ready to reach out and hug her at any time.

Yuwen Xiao rowed the boat alone and followed them into the depths of the lotus.

The lush lotus leaves spread out towards the sky like a green umbrella, with the lotus standing tall among them, and its petals as warm and shiny as jade.

When the breeze blows, the delicate petals dance like dancing butterflies.

Yu Tanqi suddenly saw a green lotus, and quickly asked Jiang Shi to row the boat over and picked it excitedly.

"There is a green lotus. Zi'an, do you think it looks good?" She asked Jiang Shi while holding the branches of the green lotus with both hands.

Compared with the delicate red lotus and the bright white lotus, the green lotus has a completely different beauty, exuding a fresh and vibrant vitality.

Jiang Shi smiled and praised: "It's beautiful. Compared with lotus flowers of other colors, green lotus flowers are more fragrant and pleasant."

Yu Tanqi likes green and prefers everything green, except green hats.

Her eyes curved, "I'm going to put it in a vase and keep it in Luqi Courtyard."

Jiang Shi said softly, "Okay."

Yu Tanqi looked around, trying to find the second green lotus. "Let's look around and see if there are any more green lotuses."

"There should be."

Sure enough, they soon found another green lotus nearby, but there was only one.

Yu Tanqi held a green lotus in one hand and said, "It seems that green lotus flowers are very rare. I wonder if there will be a few more green lotus flowers this summer."

Jiang Shi said, "Of course."

Even if there were no such things, he would have people transplant green lotus flowers from elsewhere for her to enjoy.

What Yu Tanqi didn't know was that although the large pond in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion had also been planted with lotuses in previous years, they were all of more common colors. It was after she entered the mansion that Jiang Shi knew that she liked green, so he transplanted green lotuses into the pond.

It’s just that the green lotus did not have time to bloom last year, and only bloomed in early summer this year.

Yu Tanqi looked at the only two green lotus flowers in her hand. She originally wanted to give one to Jiang Shi and one to herself, but suddenly she saw Yu Wenxiao behind her and realized that there was a guest next to her.

She hesitated a bit, but as a hospitality expert, she smiled at Yuwen Xiao and asked, "Second Prince, do you like lotus flowers?"

Yuwen Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I like it, but I prefer Bai Lian."

"There are white lotuses blooming in the pond, and Your Highness doesn't mind them. Just pick a few and take them back with you. You can either put them in a vase or use them as food."

While Yu Tanqi was speaking, Jiang Shi was looking at her gently from the side, with an indulgent and doting look on his face, as if everything she said came true.

Yu Wenxiao saw this and was secretly shocked again. He became more cautious in his attitude towards Yu Tanqi.

"Then I won't be polite. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yu." Yu Wenxiao looked happy to accept it.

Yu Tanqi glanced at his empty boat and said, "It's not easy for you to pick lotus flowers and lotus pods by rowing alone. Let Zi'an help you pick some. It's not good for you to go ashore with an empty boat."

"No, actually I just don't know which lotus to pick. The lotus flowers here are so beautiful."

"Then pick the white lotus you like. Your Highness, you're welcome. Let Zi'an help you pick a few lotus flowers."

Yu Tanqi was still very polite to the second prince of Tianqi Kingdom. After all, in the original novel, he was also an extraordinary character. He and the male protagonist later promoted long-term peaceful coexistence between the two countries. Naturally, he could not be offended easily.

Yuwen Xiao was also very polite. When he needed help from Jiang, his attitude was naturally lower.

He was about to say something to decline, but Jiang Shi said gently, "Your Highness is a guest. As the host, we naturally want to make sure Your Highness has a good time in the mansion. Your Highness, there's no need to be polite."

Yuwen Xiao no longer refused and accepted it with pleasure.

So Jiang Shi picked three white lotus flowers for Yuwen Xiao. It was evening and the three of them rowed ashore.

Yu Tanqi still wanted to find an excuse to leave so that they could be alone, but Jiang Shi did not give her the chance to leave alone.

Yu Tanqi sighed inwardly, looking at Jiang Shi's fair and handsome face. If it weren't for the scar on his face a few days ago, she would almost think that he was in love and was so clingy to her.

Yu Wenxiao didn't show any strange expression, just like an ordinary guest visiting.

However, when he saw Jiang Shi interacting with Yu Tanqi, he would occasionally look a little surprised, and then sigh that they had a really good relationship.

The three of them sat around the table, and Jiang Shi started peeling the fresh lotus seeds on the plate.

"The freshly picked lotus seeds taste great when eaten raw. I'll peel some for you to try." Although Jiang Shi said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he wanted to peel them for Yu Tanqi to eat.

Yuwen Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and instead of saying something to spoil the fun by asking the servants to peel them, he also started to peel the lotus seeds in the plate.

"Lotus seeds peeled by yourself will definitely taste better. I'll peel my own and peel as many as I want to eat. I won't have to trouble the prince to share the lotus seeds I've worked so hard to peel."

Jiang Shi's lips curved, "Thank you, Second Prince."

Yu Tanqi also reached out to peel the lotus seeds, but Jiang Shi said, "You can peel one or two for fun, but don't peel too many, or you'll hurt your fingers."

He placed a freshly peeled milky white lotus seed in her hand and said, "Try one first and see if it tastes good."

Yu Tanqi put the lotus seeds in her mouth and nodded with a smile. "It's fresh, sweet, tender, and delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Jiang Shi peeled the lotus seeds very quickly and did not give Yu Tanqi the chance to peel them. He directly put the peeled lotus seeds in her hands for her to eat.

Yu Tanqi would put the lotus seeds that she couldn't finish on the plate, and then she would occasionally take one to feed Jiang Shi.

Yuwen Xiao could only peel lotus seeds with great difficulty. He was very surprised and didn't understand why Jiang Shi was so familiar with peeling lotus seeds. After all, he was the prince of a marquisate.

After all, he was a prince of a country and had never peeled lotus seeds by himself. Jiang Shi had to peel three lotus seeds before he could peel one lotus seed.

Seeing that both of them said that lotus seeds were delicious, he tried to eat one. He did not taste the sweetness they had said, but only bitterness.

Yuwen Xiao resisted the urge to spit out the lotus seeds and continued to peel them silently.

Not long after, he heard Jiang Shi gently dissuading Yu Tanqi: "Okay, you can't eat anymore. You won't be able to eat dinner anymore."

"All right."

Seeing that Jiang Shi finally stopped peeling the lotus seeds, Yuwen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. His hands were covered with green juice from the lotus seed shells, and he couldn't wait to put them in clean water to wash them.

He thought silently that he really admired Jiang Shi's love for his fiancée, but he would never imitate him.

It's so tiring.
