Helian Yu asked everyone to stop what they were doing and taste the lychee stuffed meatballs together.

"Is this the imperial meal? I can die without regrets in my life." Fang Zhengjin held up the small blue and white porcelain bowl and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Knowing Your Highness is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me!"

Helian Yu brushed his arms, feeling as if he was covered with cockleburs, and felt very uncomfortable: "Don't talk while eating."

"Fang Fang is right, His Highness is fine, His Highness must be..." Yan Tiantian echoed.

Helian Yu smiled slightly: "There is a snake!"

“Ahhhhhh——” Yan Tiantian panicked instantly, stopped flattering him, and ran out the door holding the lychee stuffed meatballs, “Help——”

Fang Zhengjin put down the bowl and criticized Yan Tiantian righteously: "How shameless! If there really was a snake, you should have carried His Highness and run away together!"

Shu You clapped her hands: "That's right!"

Helianyu: ???

The essence of flattery is indeed in it, but the words spoken...

Helian Yu looked at the three people who were becoming more and more strange as he led them, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, there is no snake, you don't need to carry me and run, just keep eating. How about we go to Zhuiyang Lake to see the new lotus after the rain stops in two days?"

Helian Yu was tired of staying in the county government all the time.

Fang Zhengjin and the other two had no objection and sat back in their chairs. She was the dignified daughter of an official family again, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Helian Yu: "..."

That night.

Helian Yu took out the diary that he hadn't written in for a long time, racked his brains, and wrote a few lines on it.

[The richest family in Beiyang City, Li, has a young lady who is both civil and military, kind-hearted, but ugly, and still unmarried at the age of 20.] [ On the Dragon Boat Festival, Miss Li was alone, wearing a veil to enjoy the scenery. The wind blew over a handsome young man. The handsome young man saw that Miss Li had a slender figure and watery eyes. Although he could not see her face clearly because of the veil, he could understand how affectionate she was.] [The handsome young man cupped his hands and bowed: "I am Zhao Li, and I am honored to meet you. I wonder if you would be so kind as to go boating with me?" Miss Li was full of joy, but she was also doubtful. Her fingers subconsciously brushed across the veil on her ugly face, and she nodded carefully: "Thank you, young man."] [Miss Li and Mr. Zhao got on a small boat, chatting and talking about everything on the boat, and they were in love. When the love was at its peak, Miss Li took off her veil and waited tremblingly for the expected fear and scolding. ] [After a long time, the other party did not move. Miss Li looked up in despair. She saw that Master Zhao did not show any difficulty. Instead, he held Miss Li's hand and said affectionately: "Miss Li, I love your soul." Miss Li was deeply moved. ] [Three months later, Miss Li married Master Zhao. Three years after marriage, Miss Li's father passed away. In the same year, Miss Li died of chronic arsenic poisoning. ] [But! Miss Li was reborn! ] [Miss Li clenched her fists: "In this life! I want to take back everything I lost!" When she met Master Zhao again, Miss Li waved her hand: "Catch him! Throw him in the cesspool for three years!" ] [Three years later, Miss Li asked: "Is Master Zhao still alive?" The servant said: "Miss, Master Zhao has - ugh - grown maggots - ugh -" ] [Miss Li laughed up to the sky: "Hahahahahahahahaha." ] Helian Yu finished writing and dusted off the non-existent dust on the notebook: "Sure enough, I, Helian Yu, am a talent."

Throwing down the diary, Helian Yu fell into a sound sleep. It was unknown what kind of beautiful dream he had, his brows were relaxed and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

Everyone in the capital is obviously not feeling so well.

The Imperial Master's Mansion.

Xie Rangchen was wearing a thin coat, standing in front of the window, deep in thought facing the moonlight, his brows furrowed, as if the sky had fallen.

The Imperial Palace.

After reviewing the memorials, Helian Su was about to go to bed, but he sat back at his desk, picked up the pen to write something, then put it down with a heavy sigh.

Prince's Mansion.

In a state of confusion, Aria hugged the prince's neck tightly, her beautiful eyes full of confusion: "Your Highness?"

The prince sighed and held her lips: "Nothing."

The Second Prince’s Mansion.

Helian Sheng grabbed a handful of hair, tossed and turned, then rushed to the table and drank a whole pot of herbal tea.

The Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

Helian Chi sat up, not knowing what he was thinking, then lay down on his back and continued to sleep.

Frontier military camp.

That night, probably only the instigator slept soundly. - "The new lotus after the rain is the freshest. This road leads to Zhuiyang Lake, and the grass on the road is also very beautiful."

Fang Zhengjin lifted the car curtain and shared his joy with Helian Yu and the others.

When they arrived at Zhuiyang Lake, they got off the carriage and found themselves surrounded by the green lotus flowers within a radius of a hundred meters.

However, apart from them, there were a few other people who were dressed appropriately, even formally and elegantly.

A maid in green came over and bowed to Helian Yu and the others, saying, "Ladies, my wife invites you to sit in the pavilion."

Fang Zhengjin and the other two looked at Helian Yu. Helian Yu looked towards Fang Ting not far away, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

She looked at the maid in green, who smiled politely.

Helian Yu: "Lead the way."

A maidservant in green led the way, and Helian Yu and others followed.

When they reached the square pavilion, the maid in green retreated a few steps away, and Helian Yu and his companions walked towards the woman in the pavilion.

The back of the woman in the pavilion is gentle and graceful. She is wearing moon-blue clothes, which makes her look fresh and steady. Her three thousand strands of black hair are neatly tied behind her head, and she has a gold and jade hairpin, which is complicated but not messy.

The woman heard the voice and turned to look at Helian Yu.

In an instant, the familiar eyebrows and eyes made Helian Yu's eyes pause slightly.

"I didn't expect that such a secluded Zhuiyang Lake would have a young lady from the county visiting it."

Helian Yu sat on the chair and stared at the woman, as if with ulterior motives: "Isn't Madam here too? What's Madam's name?"

"My husband's surname is Liang, so you can just call me Mrs. Liang." Mrs. Liang smiled gently, her dark eyes were like a pool of calm lake water.

"Madam, you look a bit like the mother of one of my brothers." Helian Yu mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, while carefully observing Madam Liang's expression, "So when I met Madam Liang, I felt very close to her."

Madam Liang's gentle smile deepened: "Young lady and I are also destined to meet. If we meet in the future, I will definitely invite you to have a gathering at your house."

"must."

Helian Yu took a close look at Madam Liang, stood up and said goodbye, then took Fang Zhengjin and a few others to go boating on the lake.

After Helian Yu left, the maid in green came forward and poured the tea into the lake.

"Lü Niao, Princess Zhaoyang has recognized me. She is really smart."

Lu Niao lowered her eyebrows and put away the teacup: "Princess Zhaoyang is just a child. No matter how smart she is, she is not even one ten-thousandth as smart as Madam."

Madam Liang looked at the small boat in the distance in the lake. Several people were lying on the boat, enjoying themselves in the lake with lotus leaves reaching the sky. "At this age, it really makes people envious."

Green Swan did not answer.

In the middle of the lake, on a small boat, under the lotus leaves.

Helian Yu was lying down, crossing his legs: "It's going to be lively when I return to Beijing this time~"

Fang Zhengjin and the others didn't understand what was going on, but they intuitively knew that it was not something they could ask, so they all shut up and suppressed the curiosity that was rising in their throats.
