Chapter 263: Picking the Twin Lotuses, the Princess Goes Crazy



"Of course. This is my first time in Da Xia, and I can see the twin lotuses with His Highness. Yan'er is very happy." Xueyan raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jinyan, and she emphasized the last sentence intentionally because she wanted Xiao Jinyan to call her Yan'er.

Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "The princess is lucky to be able to see the wonders as soon as she arrives."

Xueyan was a little disappointed when she didn't hear the name she wanted to hear. Thinking of the twin lotus, she excitedly said, "Your Highness, when you see the twin lotus later, can you pick it and give it to me?"

Chang Liangyuan sneered inwardly upon hearing this: "Princess Xueyan, the twin lotus is a rare wonder. If you ask His Highness to pick it, wouldn't that be embarrassing for His Highness? Why not let the twin lotus bloom naturally and let more people come to admire it? Isn't that better? Princess Xueyan, don't you think so?"

Xueyan was choked by these words. She looked at Xiao Jinyan with some grievance, "Your Highness, this is the first time I have seen a lotus with two stems. I like it so much, but I don't want to monopolize it."

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "I know."

Xueyan glanced at Chang Liangyuan, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, where is the Twin Lotus? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were always looking for Shen Chuwei's figure. The lotus-pink figure entered the lotus pond, but was soon obscured by the dense lotus leaves, and disappeared without a trace.

He replied calmly with two words, "Soon."

Lotus flowers usually bloom after June. Today, Liu Xi reported that a lotus flower in Taiye Pond bloomed early, and it was a pair of lotus flowers.

Xueyan happened to hear it, so she asked him to take her to see it.

Twin lotus flowers are rare and are a good omen.

The small boat that Shen Chuwei and the other two were riding on was no slower than Xiao Jinyan's big boat, and it was easier for them to move forward among the dense lotus leaves.

Qin Xiao, who was rowing, followed Shen Chuwei when they arrived at Taiye Lake to avoid any accidents.

Shen Chuwei saw the lotus from afar, and it was a double lotus. She pointed at the double lotus with some excitement, "There really is a double lotus."

"Let me see." Concubine Xu followed the direction of Shen Chuwei's finger and saw the lotus with two stems. She was also very excited. "This is the first time I have seen a lotus with two stems."

Tao Chenghui also saw it, "It's the first time I've seen it, and it seems to be two-colored."

As the boat got closer, the view became clearer.

Shen Chuwei looked at the lotus and found that it was two colors, pink and purple, which became the highlight among the green lotus leaves.

When the boat got closer, Concubine Xu urged, "Shen Liang Di, take it off and see what that shameless man will give you as a reward."

Qin Xiao: “…” Why does it feel like he’s scolding Princess Xueyan?

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement. The lotus could be taken back and kept with spiritual spring water. It could be kept for a very long time.

She stretched out her arm and plucked the lotus fifteen inches below it.

This is not an ordinary lotus, but a water lily, pink and purple, very beautiful.

“So beautiful.”

Tao Chenghui looked at the lotus in Shen Chuwei's hand and said, "It is indeed very beautiful. I heard that lotus is hard to see. Seeing it means good things are going to happen."

"I've heard about it too. This is the first time I've seen a pair of lotus flowers in my life. Is something good going to happen?" Concubine Xu suddenly became expectant.

Shen Chuwei had never heard that anything good would happen after seeing a pair of lotus flowers, but this was indeed the first time she had seen one.

She held me in her hand and told Qin Xiao, "Go back."

Qin Xiao looked at the lotus in Shen Chuwei's hand. He didn't expect that she would just pick it off like that...

"You're going back now?"

Shen Chuwei raised the lotus in her hand to show Qin Xiao, "Are you waiting to embarrass His Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan stood at the bow and saw a small boat popping out from the green, and then a touch of pink appeared in his sight.

Xueyan saw a small boat suddenly appear in the Taiye Lake. She was a little surprised when she saw the people on it. "What are Shen Liangdi and the others doing?"

Chang Liangyuan also saw it and was somewhat glad that they did not come to this ship, otherwise there would be so many people and she would not even have the chance to talk to Xiao Jinyan.

She answered casually: "I think they are here to admire the lotus as well."

"Then why don't they join us?" Xueyan looked at Xiao Jinyan puzzledly, expecting his answer.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were on the pink figure, wondering why she didn't come to see him this time, but went to appreciate the lotus alone with Concubine Xu and the others, and did not pay attention to Xueyan's words.

Xueyan called out in confusion: "Your Highness? Did you listen to my question?"

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Xueyan, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xueyan asked softly, "Is Shen Liangdi angry with me? She didn't even go with us to appreciate the lotus."

Xiao Jinyan: “…” He really didn’t like women who said one thing in public and another behind their backs, which was why he didn’t like getting close to women.

Shen Chuwei is not like that.

Chang Liangyuan said tentatively: "Princess Xueyan, you will marry into the Eastern Palace sooner or later. Shen Liangdi will only be unhappy for a short while."

Xueyan did not hide her thoughts and took this opportunity to make them clear.

She smiled faintly: "Chang Liangyuan is right. We are all sisters in the future, so we should help each other and tolerate each other."

"Princess Xueyan is right." Chang Liangyuan snorted in her heart, I won't let you take away the position of Crown Princess.

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan glanced at Chang Liangyuan. He didn't expect that she was still thinking about the position of Crown Princess.

Wei Chi reminded: "Master, the location of the Twin Lotus is here."

Princess Xueyan saw only one green lotus leaf and nothing else. She was puzzled and asked, "Where are the twin lotuses? Why can't I see them?"

Chang Liangyuan saw the lotus in Shen Chuwei's hand not far away and frowned, "It was picked by Shen Liangdi."

In fact, Xiao Jinyan had also seen it just now. What Shen Chuwei was holding in her hand was the twin lotus flowers.

Xueyan was very angry, but her voice was soft: "Your Highness, why did Shen Liangdi pick the lotus flowers? This way others can't see them."

"I don't know either." Xiao Jinyan said perfunctorily, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Go back."

Qin Xiao brought the boat closer to the shore and waited for the three young ladies to come ashore.

Chunxi was waiting on the shore. When she saw Qin Xiao, she hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to look up, for fear that Qin Xiao would recognize her.

Qin Xiao saw that the servant had been keeping her head down, and couldn't help but feel anxious, "Don't just stand there, help Shen Liang Di quickly, if she falls, His Highness will blame her, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"I'll go help her right away." Chunxi didn't understand why Qin Xiao was so fierce? Could she let her mistress fall? Chunxi lowered her head and hurried forward to help Shen Chuwei, "Miss, please go slower."

Qin Xiao looked at the three maids and his eyes fell on Chunxi, but she was the only one who kept her head down. He always felt that there was something wrong with this maid.
