Chapter 93 Rowing
The three of them took a small boat and rowed slowly in the lotus fragrance-filled pond. Jiang Yuyan deliberately leaned to the stern, leaving the bow and the middle of the boat for the other two. However, the boat was very small, and the three of them were almost close together.
Jiang Mingan rowed the boat diligently without looking away, while Hua Xiangxiang looked constipated.
She leaned close to Jiang Yuyan and whispered, "This general looks so fierce, why did you invite him to travel with you?"
“.……….” Jiang Yuyan wanted to say that people who practice martial arts have very good hearing.
"The Queen and Madam Gu like you!" Jiang Yuyan replied in a low voice.
"Ah!" Hua Xiangxiang secretly glanced at Jiang Mingan and continued whispering to Jiang Yuyan, "I don't think I can handle him."
Jiang Yuyan glanced in the direction of Jiang Mingan. He was a young general who became famous at the age of sixteen. He had guarded the border for ten years. Now he was in his prime and full of vigor and vitality. In the ancient dynasties of China, he was a hot commodity! She couldn't help but sigh and speak well of him.
"The general only looks fierce, but he is actually very innocent and soft-hearted. He will definitely treat you tenderly after marriage. What's more, he has such a handsome face! Just looking at him can make me eat two more bowls of rice!"
Hua Xiangxiang was amused by Jiang Yuyan's words. She laughed and quickly covered her mouth.
On the other side, Jiang Mingan's fair face was stained with a hint of red, which softened his cold temperament and made him look more delicate.
Jiang Yuyan occasionally cast a glance at him and couldn't help but think of the words "handsome and elegant, elegant and noble." He is indeed a good boy.
The lotus leaves were endless and green, and two beauties were happily hiding in the half-human-high lotus leaves to pick lotus pods. They didn't notice that they were hit by a small boat from behind. The two boys and girls might not be very good at rowing, and they couldn't keep the direction for a while.
Jiang Yuyan was knocked back and forth, and before she could even yell "Aiya", she was grabbed by Jiang Mingan's long arms and hands...
Hua Xiangxiang, who was sitting between the two of them, was squeezed and sat down.
Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist. The man's hot palm was holding it tightly and did not let go for a while.
"General..." Jiang Yuyan called softly.
Jiang Mingan came back to his senses and let go of his hand with a red face.
But that delicate and smooth feeling always lingers between my fingers.
"Be careful..." Jiang Ming'an said slowly, but he looked a little uncomfortable. He was distracted by the beauty in the green shirt and red flowers, and didn't notice the crisis.
Jiang Yuyan smiled gently and said "Okay."
After the three of them got ashore, the feast was over. Empress Hua deliberately kept Madam Gu, Madam Li, the Right Prime Minister, and Hua Xiangxiang to the Pepper Room for a chat. Jiang Yuyan made a gesture to her that it was done, and then left the Pepper Room.
Jiang Mingan was waiting in a pavilion not far away. The wine he had drunk was starting to take effect. He vaguely recalled the glimpse of the imperial study and the skin contact when they were rowing. Jiang Mingan secretly rubbed his fingertips and felt dry mouth and dizziness. A wave of heat made him drowsy.
When Jiang Yuyan approached, she saw that the young man looked half asleep, with a hint of alcohol on his cheeks and a strand of hair falling from his forehead. His usual stern and tough demeanor had faded, revealing a romantic and unrestrained look.
The sound of footsteps woke the drunk man.
Jiang Mingan opened his eyes, and the gaze he looked at Jiang Yuyan suddenly became deep and bright.
Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but be stunned.
"General!" She saluted first.
"No need to be polite." Jiang Ming'an stood up straight and said, "The Saint is looking for me, but is there something wrong with the Queen?"
"Not really." Jiang Yuyan said softly, "I just have something I want to ask the general."
"What is it?"
"About your lieutenants..."
Jiang Mingan's expression became serious, "What questions does the Saint have?"
Jiang Yuyan leaned closer to him, "General, I believe you already know that, except for Sun Ji, your three deputy generals are not having a good time right now, right?"
"Is this the letter you sent me?" Jiang Mingan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"yes."
"Why?"
"I am working for the queen, and now I am ordered to investigate the loss of the tiger talisman." Jiang Yuyan said respectfully.
Jiang Mingan examined Jiang Yuyan and asked, "How could a saint girl have such ability?"
"Don't worry about whether I have a general or not. There will be a result in two days." Jiang Yuyan said indifferently: "I just want to tell you that even if the tiger talisman is found, you can't return to the northern border for the time being. General, just tell me, among the three deputy generals, is there anyone you trust who can replace Sun Ji?"
Jiang Mingan was silent for a while, then said, "Zhang Junyu is good. He is loyal and has the talent of a general. He should have no problem guarding the northern border."
"Okay, I understand. I'll find a way." Jiang Yuyan said and walked back.
“Saint…” Jiang Mingan suddenly shouted.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuyan looked back.
Jiang Mingan's straight posture seemed a little awkward.
"Did Your Majesty choose Hua Xiangxiang for me?" Jiang Mingan's drooping eyelashes cast a shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Didn't the General hear everything?" Jiang Yuyan smiled slightly.
Jiang Mingan was silent again.
Jiang Yuyan was a little hesitant. Did the general agree or disagree?
At this time, a breeze blew by, and the surroundings were quiet. Only the summer cicadas in the trees were chirping loudly, making people's hearts confused and upset.
Jiang Yuyan looked at him for a while and said seriously: "The general is a man of great talent, wisdom and courage. He serves the country and the people. He is a real hero. I think the general is worthy of anyone. The general does not need to take the words of the ignorant woman at the table to heart. I think Hua Xiangxiang is good, innocent and romantic... But if the general has someone else in his heart, I also wish the general can get what he wants."
After saying this, she smiled and danced away.
Jiang Mingan stood there for a long time with his hands behind his back, watching the beautiful figure going away. A feeling of melancholy suddenly came over him. "Am I worthy of anyone? If so, what about you?"
