"Niannian, are you ready?" Li Sisi ran into the kitchen.
"No, it will probably take another half an hour." As Li Nian spoke, he steamed the first tray of pure white cold fragrant balls.
Li Sisi immediately said, "Then I'll let Chenchen go first."
"Why don't you guys go ahead and I'll bring the stuff over when I'm done."
Li Sisi thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the pavilion by the Xiyuan River."
"good."
——————
At this moment, a slender woman in a dark long dress walked out of the dark alley.
She had her jet-black hair combed up, and her face was covered with a dark veil, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.
Today is such an important festival, and the whole capital is bustling with activity.
Not to mention West Street, which is a place where all kinds of people gather, and is now even more crowded.
The annual tide-riding performance is held here and the people are invited to participate. Since the remuneration is considerable, everyone flocks to it.
Wen Luoqing walked all the way to the Xiyuan River.
Thinking back to the past, she would always go up to the riverside pavilion with her sisters, enjoying the delicacies in front of them, and looking down with contempt at the ordinary people crowded below.
Now, she was squeezed in among the common people with all kinds of bad habits, and she couldn't help feeling resentment and disgust in her heart.
Why do these people smell so bad? Can't they just clean themselves up before going out?!
She tried hard to squeeze towards the pavilion, but the closer she got to the pavilion, the fewer people gathered.
When she finally squeezed to the wooden bridge in front of the pavilion, she was suddenly pushed hard by a burly man.
"Go away, this is not the place for you."
Wen Luoqing tightened the medicine bottle in his hand and said as calmly as possible, "It was Miss Wang who asked me to come here. I hope you can be flexible."
The burly man looked her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. After a long pause, he spoke, "Do you have any written proof? I'll take it to Miss Wang for identification."
"Miss Wang left in a hurry at that time, and it was just a verbal agreement between us." Wen Luoqing bowed.
She was secretly annoyed in her heart: In the past, these dogs would bow and scrape when they saw her, but now she has to bow to them!
"Then there's nothing we can do." The strong man waved his hand: "Go away quickly, or you'll offend the criminal. Neither you nor I can afford it!"
Wen Luoqing refused to give up: "Please be flexible. I'll come out after seeing Miss Wang." She took out the medicine bag: "This is the medicine Miss Wang asked me to bring..."
Suddenly, she saw a figure in a gorgeous dress appear under the eaves of the attic in front of her. She waved her hand and shouted, "Miss Wen——"
Wen Luoxin turned around and looked over, a look of slight surprise on her face.
He came over and asked, "Do you know me, girl?"
Wen Luoqing was stunned by her question, and then remembered that he had secretly escaped back to the capital.
So he said, "We've met before at a banquet. Could you please tell the guard brother about it? I'm in a hurry to see Miss Wang!"
"Oh, I think I have some impression of her." Wen Luoxin said to the burly man, "Could you please let her go, big brother guard? I'll take her to find Miss Wang."
When the strong man heard the nobleman say this, he immediately let him go with a respectful attitude.
Wen Luoxin took her all the way to the high pavilion, up the stairs, and kept going up.
Wen Luoqing felt more and more that something was wrong as he walked.
This pavilion gets more expensive the higher you go, and I heard that the top seat is reserved for the owner.
And the place Wen Luoxin brought her to was just next to the rooftop?
Didn’t Wen Luoxin say that she is now isolated and helpless in the capital?
Is it really like this, "isolated and helpless" like the moon surrounded by stars?
The location of the box was also excellent, with the window facing the wide river. At this time, several boats were passing by with colorful flags on them, rehearsing in advance.
A long table was placed against the window, with various snacks and fruits on it.
A crystal clear and peculiarly shaped glass bowl is filled with a bowl of pink and white flower petal soup.
The biggest advantage of following the Fourth Prince is that he is generous and will not suspect or restrain her.
Wen Luoxin asked the others to leave and only left her confidants.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"I came to find you." Wen Luoqing's eyes fell on the food on the table and he swallowed secretly.
A hint of disgust flashed in Wen Luoxin's eyes, and she felt that the food on the table was tainted by her greedy gaze.
There was indeed a smile on his face as he pushed the only bowl of glass petal soup on the table towards her.
In a friendly tone, he said, "Are you hungry? Have a bowl of peach blossom soup to fill your stomach first."
After asking, Luo Qing held back her pride and looked at Wen Luoxin's delicately made-up face. She whispered, "You said that day that you would pick me up and leave soon. Why don't you keep your word?"
"I've wanted to go for a long time." Wen Luoxin's eyes were filled with sorrow, and her tone was helpless: "My sister seems to be living a life of luxury, but in fact, her behavior is under surveillance everywhere. If it weren't for her friendship with the Fourth Prince and his protection, my child and I might have..."
Wen Luoxin spoke half-heartedly with a sob, twisting her hands around a handkerchief to wipe away non-existent tears.
Wen Luoqing frowned, puzzled, "Then why did Qi He treat you like that? After all, you gave birth to his child!"
Wen Luoxin looked at her with eyes full of sorrow and said, "Sister, don't you know? My husband has always had only you in his heart. Even if I bear him a child, what does it matter? If he doesn't love me, then he doesn't love me."
When Wen Luo heard her words, a sense of pride suddenly surged in his unhappy heart. The jealousy faded a lot, and he felt inexplicably comfortable.
Yes! If she hadn't rejected Qi He in the beginning, how would Wen Luoxin have had the chance to marry Qi He?
Qi He treated her sincerely, but she was obsessed with Xiao Yunyu!
Wen Luoqing felt sad. If you take a wrong step on some roads, all the steps that follow will be wrong.
Suddenly, bursts of exclamations were heard downstairs.
turn out to be
Wen Luoqing tilted his head and saw that the wave-riding performance had begun.
There is actually nothing new in the annual tide-riding performance.
Wen Luoqing lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on a man and woman on the porch downstairs.
The man's dark blue brocade robe was embroidered with gold threads, a workmanship evident in the Su Jin embroidery technique. He placed one arm around the waist of the petite woman beside him, then suddenly lowered his head, pursed his lips, and spoke to her.
The man's handsome profile suddenly came into view, and Wen Luoqing's heart skipped a beat.
The hands hidden under the table were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and her eyes were hot.
He is still so dazzling...
Wen Luoxin followed her gaze and saw the backs of a couple who looked intimate and loving.
Beside them, a gentle man in a moon-white brocade robe held a folding fan to shield the woman next to him from the scorching sun.
The woman beside him seemed to be in high spirits, without a trace of the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
They could enter and leave the capital freely, but she and Wen Luoqing were like rats in the gutter, not daring to show themselves in public.
Wen Luoxin seemed to hear the cold female voice from her previous life saying to her again: "Don't worry, I will take care of Qi'er for you. Don't you want Qi'er to inherit the throne? He will."
But she wants more than just Qi'er to inherit the throne!
She's dead, so what if her Qi'er inherits the throne?!
She can't enjoy any glory or wealth!
