Qingyin looked at Wu Yong, whose mouth was dry from exhaustion, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
It's a good thing Wu Yong invited her, otherwise she might be the one being talked to until her throat is dry right now.
Thinking this, Qingyin's gaze towards Wu Yong softened even more.
"Let's get in the carriage first," Qingyin said to Wu Yong with a smile.
Wu Yong nodded seriously.
However, Wu Yong's face stiffened when he suddenly remembered that he had only prepared one carriage.
………
In a short while, Wu Yong looked at the two light bulbs blatantly crowding on either side of Qingyin, and himself almost being squeezed to the back of the car, and burst into tears.
Wu Yong sighed inwardly as he stared at the two siblings. Fortunately, he had prepared the most spacious and comfortable carriage in the General's Mansion for Qingyin, otherwise these two third wheels would have squeezed into Qingyin's room.
The carriage swayed and rocked along the way, but with the two talkative siblings by her side, Qingyin didn't find the journey too difficult.
It seemed like only a short while before we arrived at the edge of the moat.
The moat has a beautiful and distant name: Meteor River. It is said that every summer, a thin, transparent mist rises from the wide, flowing surface of the river, and the stars in the sky are reflected on the river, just like a meteor falling. This is the origin of the name Meteor River.
With the help of servants, Qingyin boarded the flower boat that Wu Yong had carefully prepared. The entire boat was made of precious sandalwood. Putting aside the exquisite and complex Suzhou-style southern design, just the material itself, if you just broke off a piece, would probably be worth fifty or sixty taels of silver.
Qingyin walked on the boat, leisurely standing on the edge of the boat, gazing at the white crane with its snow-white feathers gracefully walking on a shallow beach in the distance. With a casual bite of its red edge, it caught a small fish the size of a palm and prepared to enjoy its meal.
Small boats passed by on the road, but the white crane didn't even blink, continuing to enjoy its snacks with its usual elegance, clearly very accustomed to the presence of these two-legged creatures around it.
Qingyin narrowed her eyes as she watched that scene.
How beautiful! Such adorable creatures! It's good that there weren't so many dangers and terrible environments in ancient times.
Wu Yong followed Qingyin's gaze and saw that the white crane had already patted its tail and flown away. He hadn't seen it and assumed that Qingyin was interested in the ripples on the water. He smiled and said, "At this time of year, a type of silver carp in the river is quite fat. They like to come ashore to breathe, so they blow out some bubbles. Qingqing, why don't you try fishing for them yourself?"
Qingyin was actually persuaded by Wu Yong. Having stayed at the mansion for a long time without any entertainment, Qingyin was really itching to play.
Seeing the girl's eager expression and the veil fluttering in the wind, Wu Yong smiled and said, "This boat belongs to our family. It's just for us. Qingqing, why don't you take off your veil, get some fresh air, and have some fun?"
Hearing the man's advice, Qingyin nodded, "Young Master Wu is right."
After saying that, the girl removed the light veil, revealing her extremely fair face, thick and curled eyelashes, gentle and watery eyes, a straight nose, and a rosy and delicate mouth. Every part of her was exactly what he wanted. Under the sunlight, the girl was breathtakingly beautiful.
Wu Yong suppressed the intense excitement pounding in his heart and forced himself to remain calm as he handed Qingyin the lighter fishing gear and small bucket, explaining the uses of these tools in detail and gently.
As the two fished, the atmosphere became surprisingly intimate and harmonious.
The sight of Lin Yanwei and Lin Wanyu, who were carrying snacks and fruit, was not so pleasant. The two exchanged a silent glance and walked forward in tacit agreement.
The two people sitting around Qingyin sat down, especially Lin Yanwei, who squeezed past Wu Yong and sat in his seat. He chuckled at Wu Yong and said, "Brother Wu, you don't mind your younger brother sitting here fishing, do you?"
Wu Yong: ...
Could he say he minded? The man in front of him was his beloved younger brother, and also his future brother-in-law. What could he do?
Feeling wronged, Wu Yong squeezed onto a bench used by the servants for resting, trying to get closer to Qingyin in the cramped space so he could see her.
Unfortunately, Wu Yong underestimated Lin Yanwei's abilities. Every time Wu Yong changed his position, hoping to sneak a peek at his beloved, he was immediately blocked by his brother-in-law's handsome face.
At first, Wu Yong thought it was an accident, but after being blocked several times, Wu Yong learned the truth.
His face darkened. No, he had to get rid of these two troublesome brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law in his pursuit of Qingyin.
While outwitting and outmaneuvering the two siblings, Wu Yong managed to exchange a few words with Qingyin, appearing extremely busy.
Meanwhile, Xie Ping, who was also thinking about Qingyin, ate his rice half-heartedly at the lavish palace banquet, his mind preoccupied with the letter he had sent to Chu. He wondered when his mother would receive it and for his wish to be fulfilled.
He couldn't wait a moment longer to marry the woman he loved.
Qingqing is so beautiful. Not only did the cold-hearted Lin Nanxu leave the Lin family for her, wanting to pursue her openly, but now there's that shameless Wu Yong who suddenly showed up... Xie Ping is full of vigilance and just wants to marry his sweetheart as soon as possible and establish a proper relationship.
—
Xie Ping was the only son of the Emperor and Empress of Chu. Compared to the other emperors who were married off, the Emperor of Chu truly loved his wife, who had fought alongside him since he was a boy. She was Xie Ping's mother, Empress Gong. Empress Gong was intelligent and took good care of her fiancé, who was a year or two younger than her, and Emperor Xie Duan of Chu. In Emperor Xie Duan's unfortunate childhood, Empress Gong was undoubtedly the white moonlight of his life.
