Chapter 156 You Are a Bit Like a Lonely Person
Before getting on the carriage, the Third Prince suddenly came over and taught Qi Kuan how to talk to girls.
The old concubine did not stop him, and nodded from time to time to agree: "Kuan'er, there are great people in all 36 professions, and you really have to listen to your third uncle on this matter. Everything else is rubbish, and this is the only use he has that is worth learning from."
Yuan Ruan's expression was slightly strange: [The Concubine sometimes really dislikes the Third Prince.]
The third prince looked at the old queen dowager aggrievedly: Mother, please give me some face in front of the young imperial teacher.
System: [It's normal to dislike him. The Third Prince is a playboy, and he likes the gentle and weak Jiangnan women the most. The old concubine is a strong rose, and she hates men who are indecisive the most. The old concubine didn't beat the Third Prince to death, it's all because of her motherly love.]
The Third Prince coughed lightly and quickly looked away.
Yuanruan: [No wonder.]
Yuan Ruan looked at Qi Kuan who was wearing a flower on his head and couldn't help but sigh: [Actually, I don't think you need to be so nervous. Girls look at faces. Qi Kuan's appearance perfectly matches the poem "The man on the street is like jade, and the young man is like a pair of twins."]
System: [Ahem... That's not true. Qi Kuan was abused by the maids when he was young, so he is a bit phobic about women. Anyone who shows kindness to him will be so angry that he will vomit blood because of the venom he sprays.]
Qi Kuan's eyes dimmed slightly.
The third prince, who was complaining about Qi Kuan not caring enough for women, was suddenly stuck: What? So miserable? I shouldn't have said the previous sentence, damn it!
The old concubine also touched Qi Kuan lovingly and said, "Forget it. It's your own life after all. Just slowly find someone you like. Get in the carriage."
Qi Kuan's eyes softened a little, and he nodded, "Grandma, I know."
Then he held Yuanruan and got into the carriage.
Today's destination is Lake View Garden in the backyard of the Second Princess.
The lotus flowers on this lake were just beginning to show their pointed tips. There were dozens of small boats on the water, and on each boat were two or three young men, or two or three beautiful ladies.
They would ride on the boat, play music and sing to each other, and if they were attracted to each other, they would invite each other to their boat to enjoy the beautiful lake view. If they were even more attracted to each other, they would row the boat together to the largest boat in the center of the lake to chat and make friends.
Several princesses from the Third Prince's Mansion arrived at the Second Princess' Mansion first, so the news that Yuan Ruan and Qi Kuan would arrive later also spread.
The talented scholar, who had just boarded the boat and was about to have a poetic chat with his beloved girl, was so frightened that he dropped his brush.
The girl looked at him puzzledly.
The sixth-rank scholar said, "Well, that... I suddenly feel unwell. It would be better to call it a day and I will come to visit you in person another day."
girl:?
There were also several elegant young talents above the sixth rank whose faces all turned green.
Among them, someone stood up decisively: "Brothers, I, I will withdraw first."
A young man who had not yet received his errand asked in surprise, "Didn't you just say that you were going to find your soul mate soon?"
The man said faintly, "You don't understand."
The young man was full of questions. Just as he was about to ask for details, he saw several young talents who were able to attend the morning court also stood up and quietly found excuses to leave:
"Everyone, I have already sealed my heart and locked up my love. Goodbye."
"Yes! It's better to pursue a career than to pursue love."
"Shall I go first?"
…
The confused young men looked bewildered. If there weren't some young talents serving as officials in the court who were sitting still, today's blind date party would have been completely ruined.
So when Qi Kuan appeared holding Yuan Ruan, he saw a rather strange scene.
Dozens of small boats on the lake surrounded the small boats in the middle. If it weren't for the silver bell-like laughter coming from the lake from time to time, Yuan Ruan would have thought that he had mistakenly walked into the scene of some pirates collecting protection fees.
Yuanruan: [Tong'er, what happened there? ]
System: [Let me see... haha. It turns out that this boat is an alternative prop for making friends and falling in love. But because there are more girls than boys on the boats on the lake, there have been several girls who have taken a fancy to a young talent, and a young girl has fallen into the water during an argument. At this time, the young princess of the Third Prince's Mansion stood up and suggested that there are few young talents today, instead of letting young talents become hot cakes and let them quarrel over men, it is better to surround the boats of these young talents and watch them together. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. The little princess is indeed the granddaughter of the Concubine Dowager. All right, all right.]
System: [Yes. In an instant, the situation of many women competing for men has been turned into a situation of playing with male models in a nightclub. Come on, let's go and take a look.]
Qi Kuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Yuan Ruan: [Wait, Qi Kuan is also single. If he goes there and looks so handsome, won’t he be the top star?]
Qi Kuan stopped smiling instantly and wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
…
At this time, a small boat suddenly came in front of Yuan Ruan and Qi Kuan.
A young lady wearing a white veil stood up and spoke in a gentle Jiangnan accent: "Cousin, the princess asked me to come and greet you."
Yuan Ruan: [Yo yo yo… The first one is a delicate beauty, Tong'er, do you think Qi Kuan will fall for this? ]
System: [Hehehe, looking forward to it. ]
Qi Kuan's eyes fell on the girl's fingers. He paused and frowned, "Who are you? Where is the clearance document?"
The girl paused for a moment before taking out a token from her bosom and said softly, "I'm new to the capital, so it's normal that you haven't seen me before. So, can you get on board with peace of mind?"
Qi Kuan looked at it carefully before asking, "Are you alone? Are there other boats?"
The girl said angrily, "There is only this one. Are you afraid that a weak woman like me will hurt you?"
"Don't be afraid." Qi Kuan waved to the other party, "You go ashore first."
The girl paused, then obediently moved closer to the shore. Before she was about to go ashore, her body staggered, and Qi Kuan helped her ashore very gentlemanly.
Yuanruan perked up: [I originally thought he wouldn't eat this kind of food, but seeing his action of going ashore, it obviously increased physical contact. Maybe he took the Third Prince's words to heart.]
System: [Right. After all, he needs to find a partner. Hehe.]
The girl fiddled with her hair in an elegant manner and said coquettishly, "Thank you, cousin. Is there anything you can do for me to go ashore..."
The girl froze in place.
Because Qi Kuan ignored her completely, he jumped onto the boat with one big step and asked the boatman, "Are there any other boats nearby?"
The boatman smiled and said, "Yes, there is, but..."
"Please go up first." Qi Kuan nodded and pointed to the shore.
The boatman consciously followed the order and went up.
Then, Qi Kuan quickly picked up the boatman's oar, and with both hands exerted force at the same time, he drew an invincible thunderbolt fire wheel, and then the small boat "whoosh" towards the big ship in the center of the lake at an extremely terrifying speed.
Boatman and Veiled Girl: ...
Yuanruan was about to eat the love melon: [……]
Looking forward to the pink bubble system: [……]
Everyone had the same thought at the same time: You seem to be destined to be alone.
