Chapter 93: I am happy because of her
Xie Lingxi had never expected that the little girl's eyes would suddenly become tearful when she looked at the eight-treasure box.
The lazy look on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Husband, I want to eat candied crabapples." Jiang Rong pulled Xie Lingxi's sleeve with one hand, held the medicine in the other, and looked at Xie Lingxi eagerly.
Xie Lingxi was afraid that she would cry, so he picked up a plump candied crabapple from the eight-treasure box and fed it to her mouth.
Jiang Rong happily ate the food her husband gave her.
With a smile on his face, he drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp.
He doesn't look like he's afraid of hardship at all.
Seeing her beautiful smile, Xie Lingxi felt relieved, thinking that she would not cry anymore.
The next moment, I realized...
Did she deliberately tear up to trick him into feeding her candied fruit?
Xie Lingxi sighed helplessly.
Okay, this one isn't a big deal.
Xie Lingxi ordered people to transport the carriages, clothes and other items in the palace back to the capital.
And he and Jiang Rong set off for Qiaoshui.
Chushu's convoy, flying the flag of the Northern Prince's Palace, was almost reaching Qiaoshui.
"Princess, An Yi is out to finish up now." Feicui stepped forward to report.
Jiang Rong nodded slightly, "Let's set off."
…
Sun Dagui hummed a little tune and felt very happy.
“Plop——”
The servant who was pulling the cart in the front fell heavily to the ground. After traveling day and night in the hot summer, the servants could no longer bear it.
This time the fall was quite severe, and the servant was unable to get up for a while...
"Why did it stop again?" Sun Dagui lifted the curtain and saw a servant lying on the ground, unable to get up. He jumped off the carriage in anger with a whip in his hand:
"Get up! Get up! You're lazy, I'll let you be lazy!"
The servant was already exhausted, and after being whipped, he couldn't even get up...
"If you don't get up, I will beat you to death today!" Sun Dagui always treated servants as grass. Seeing that this man delayed his time to collect the reward, he was so angry that he wanted to beat himself to death to vent his anger.
At this moment...
A masked shadow flew in from the distance and kicked him to the ground.
"Ah!" Sun Dagui let out a scream and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The martial artist's kick, full of internal strength, directly shattered several of Sun Dagui's ribs, injuring all his internal organs.
The servants looked at the newcomer in panic.
"My master is kind-hearted and asked me to give you some silver. The rare medicine that the eldest princess wanted has been obtained by my master. If you go to the capital, you will die. Take this silver and run for your lives." An Yi threw a bag of silver to the servants.
Sun Dagui almost fainted from the pain. Hearing this, he was shocked and frightened:
"What are you talking about? The miraculous medicine has been presented to Her Royal Highness the Princess... If you dare to hit me, the Princess's Mansion will not let you go."
An Yi ignored him and just looked at the servants and said:
"The princess just now was my master in disguise. If you don't believe me, you can go to the capital and die. It's up to you."
Having said that, he turned around, performed some light Kung Fu, and went back to report.
The servants looked at each other.
Dare not act rashly.
Sun Dagui cursed, "How could it be fake? I've seen the carriage in the Princess's Mansion. It's so magnificent, how could it be fake... You bunch of lowly slaves, why don't you help me up... It hurts so much... Go find a doctor..."
Before he could finish his curse, the servant he had just beaten became mad, pounced on him and grabbed his neck tightly.
"What are you doing?" an older servant asked hurriedly.
The servant said, "We have to escape anyway, so kill him before we go and avenge ourselves!"
"Are you really going to run away?" someone asked uncertainly.
The servant was quite smart and said, "Such an important person would not lie to us. He is kind-hearted and stole the flowers to avoid us being punished and give us a chance to live. If you don't believe me, go and die. I'm going to run away anyway..."
After he finished speaking, several servants also thought it made sense and rushed up to beat Sun Dagui together.
"What are you doing? You lowly slaves dare to hit me..." Sun Dagui shouted angrily...
Soon he could no longer shout and was beaten to death.
The servants divided the silver and fled.
All that was left was a bloody corpse.
…
Qiaoshuifu has several large lakes and is famous for the lotus flowers in the lakes.
It was midsummer, the lotus leaves were like a canopy, and the lotus flowers were fragrant.
It was early morning and the sky was dim.
A small boat is sailing on the lake.
After a few more hours, the heat will come and it will be hot.
Now is the best time to appreciate the lotus.
On the boat.
A nobleman in a jade-inlaid and gold-woven brocade robe and a woman in a crimson long skirt sat opposite each other.
There was a square tea table on the boat, and a pot of lotus seed tea was sizzling on a small stove.
It is served with five or six plates of various snacks.
Admire the lotus, taste tea, go boating, and enjoy yourself leisurely.
"Princess, look - it's really a pair of lotus flowers!" The maid standing at the bow of the boat pointed at a lotus flower in the middle of the lake and said in surprise.
Jingzhe immediately rowed the boat closer.
Jiang Rong's eyes fell on the twin lotuses, and indeed they were twin lotuses with two flowers on one stem.
When the ceremonial guards of the Northern Palace arrived at Qiaoshui Palace to admire the lotus, the local prefect immediately came to greet them and said a lot of auspicious words:
"No wonder a lotus with two stems grew in our Qiaoshui Lake this year. It turns out that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess wanted to come and enjoy the lotus, and this lotus with two stems bloomed just for you two!"
Twin lotus flowers are extremely rare and are considered a good omen.
Same heart, same life, same happiness.
It is said that if a couple sees a twin lotus and makes a wish sincerely, they will be as loving and loving as the twin lotus.
The appearance of the twin lotuses attracted many people to Qiaoshui to appreciate the lotus this year...
Although Jiang Rong didn't believe that the flower god had time to bless so many people, it didn't stop her from making a wish for good luck.
Looking at the twin lotus flowers in front of him, Jiang Rong took Xie Lingxi's hand, closed his eyes and made a wish:
"May you and I be like lotus in this life, holding hands forever."
Xie Lingxi tilted her head slightly and looked at the person beside her. The faint light of the morning sun fell on her clear face.
I sincerely pray to be with him forever.
She was dizzyingly beautiful.
Although Xie Lingxi repeatedly reminded himself, Jiang Rong was not in a clear mind...
But in this lake filled with lotus fragrance, I will hold your hand and pledge a lifetime commitment.
For a moment, he could not distinguish between illusion and reality, and he was delighted by her prayer.
Unstoppable.
…
There is a pavilion on the distant shore.
A frail woman watched this scene from a distance.
"It is said that twin lotus flowers grew in Qiaoshui Lake, so Jiang Rong brought him here to make a wish. This woman is really very resourceful, no wonder she has bewitched Xie Lingxi so much..." the woman said faintly.
The maid beside her didn't dare to respond at all.
The county princess had been sickly since childhood and was raised in the mountains. She had an unpredictable temperament and no one knew if she said the wrong thing, she would lose her life.
Some time ago, after receiving the news that the Queen Mother had arranged a marriage with the Prince of the Northern King, she beat several maids to death.
On the way back to Beijing, I heard that the Prince of Bei and his wife went to Qiaoshui to appreciate the lotus.
I took a detour here on purpose.
