Zhao Feng thought for a moment, then saw Qin Jue's gesturing look, and looked over, where he saw Jun Qingzhi.
Zhao Feng then spoke.
"Young Master Xiao has only been in the capital for a short time, so he probably doesn't know that a boat trip on the Biyue River would be quite pleasant."
"I was just about to suggest that Young Master Xiao go sightseeing."
Qin Jue saw Jun Qingzhi relax his brow and knew he was no longer thinking about it.
Qin Jue turned his gaze to Xiao Xi'er and asked, "Xiao Xi'er, would you like to go boating?"
"think"
Xiao Xi'er immediately said she wanted to, after all, she had never been on a boat before.
And so, Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er toward the Biyue River, with Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan following closely behind.
Qin Jue's expression darkened when he saw Jun Qingzhi 'consciously' following behind.
Arriving at the Biyue River, we rented the largest boat on the river.
After Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er onto the boat, Jun Qingzhi followed behind and boarded the boat as well.
Fang Zixu originally wanted to be the second to board the boat, but because he was a step slower than Jun Qingzhi, he became the third.
Fang Zixu started talking to Xiao Xi'er as soon as he boarded the boat.
"Xi'er, let me tell you, the scenery along this Biyue River is quite beautiful."
"Walk a little further on, and the white pear blossoms and pink cherry blossoms on both sides of the river fall with the wind, while the willow branches sway in the breeze."
"It's so beautiful!"
"Really?"
Xiao Xi'er immediately looked at Fang Zixu, her eyes sparkling.
Fang Zixu, on the other hand, felt embarrassed by the gaze and stammered, "Really...really?"
Why would I lie to you?
"Hehe, Fang Xuxu, you're amazing!"
"Cough... Of course I'm amazing!"
Hearing Xiao Xi'er praise Fang Zixu, Jun Qingzhi felt displeased again.
But Jun Qingzhi has nothing fun or good food to do right now, and she doesn't know anything about her surroundings. She can only watch Xiao Xi'er and Fang Zixu talking.
Qin Jue was actually quite pleased to see Jun Qingzhi get the short end of the stick, because in Qin Jue's eyes, Jun Qingzhi was definitely up to no good.
Qin Jue didn't believe that these two meetings were just coincidences.
A cherry blossom petal drifted down and landed right on Xiaoxi'er's nose.
"Huh, what is that?"
"They are flower petals"
Just as Qin Jue was about to remove the flower petal from Xiao Xi'er's nose, Jun Qingzhi quickly removed it first.
Qin Jue's face darkened when he saw Jun Qingzhi's actions, but Jun Qingzhi pretended not to notice.
"Daddy~, look, the flowers are falling down!"
"So pretty!"
Yes, it's very beautiful.
"But none of them are as beautiful as Xiao Xi'er's smile."
Hehe~
Little Xi'er shyly buried her head in Qin Jue's arms.
Jun Qingzhi quietly put away the cherry blossoms she had just taken from Xiao Xi'er's nose.
After Xiao Xi'er got down from Qin Jue's arms, she lay down by the boat, reaching out her hands, wanting to play in the water.
It's just a pity that Xiaoxi'er's arms are too short to reach the water.
So Xiaoxi pouted and looked at Qin Jue.
Qin Jue couldn't stand Xiao Xi'er's pitiful look, so he got up and walked out of the boat.
Sitting on the edge of the boat, he held Xiaoxi'er's waist with both hands, making her face the water.
Qin Jue bent down and stopped Xiao Xi'er at a position where her hand could just touch the water.
Little Xi started patting the water's surface with her hands.
Fang Zixu, Jun Qingzhi, and Wei Yuanxuan also came out.
Fang Zixu took off his shoes and sat down behind Xiao Xi'er, putting his feet in the water.
Jun Qingzhi also took off her shoes and sat down next to Fang Zixu.
Fang Zixu looked at Wei Yuanxuan with a puzzled expression.
"My injuries haven't healed yet, and I can't be exposed to cold, so I won't join you."
"What injury? Mine is all healed, but yours isn't?"
Wei Yuanxuan smiled but didn't say anything.
Fang Zixu then understood: Wei Yuanxuan was not favored in the Dingkang Marquis's residence, and the Dingkang Marquis had once beaten Wei Yuanxuan in front of a fight; presumably, the injuries on Wei Yuanxuan's body were from the Dingkang Marquis's beating.
Fang Zixu simply pushed Jun Qingzhi aside, letting Wei Yuanxuan sit next to him.
Xiao Xi'er heard Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan talking and turned her head to look behind her.
Then I saw Fang Zixu and Jun Qingzhi putting their feet in the water.
As Xiao Xi'er watched, she too became tempted, her gaze fixed intently on Qin Jue.
"Daddy~, I want to too~"
"No, have you forgotten how you caught a cold a couple of days ago?"
"No, no, Daddy~, just this once, please?"
Little Xi'er started to act cute towards Qin Jue.
"Why don't we let Xiaoxi play this once? It'll be fine."
Fang Zixu also spoke up for Xiao Xi'er.
"Xi'er, did you catch a cold a couple of days ago?"
It must be said that Jun Qingzhi is very good at grasping the key points.
"I'm not sick."
"Daddy~, please?"
Little Xi sat on Qin Jue's lap, tugging at his clothes and shaking him incessantly.
Qin Jue refused, but Xiao Xi'er kept whining and pleading, until Qin Jue couldn't take it anymore.
"Fine, just this once, did you hear me?"
"Uh-huh"
“Master, Miss is, after all, a girl, and there are several young gentlemen here… shouldn’t we…”
"It's alright, Xiao Xi'er is still young, and besides, what do those little brats know?"
Chunhe then shut her mouth.
Fang Zixu saw that Xiao Xi'er had also impatiently taken off her shoes and socks, blocking Wei Yuanxuan's view. Then, when Fang Zixu looked up, she saw Jun Qingzhi staring in Xiao Xi'er's direction.
"Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? You're not allowed to look!"
Why can you look but I can't?
Jun Qingzhi's words silenced Fang Zixu, and Fang Zixu's face turned red.
Qin Jue lifted Xiao Xi'er up so that her feet could just touch the water, ignoring the argument between Fang Zixu and Jun Qingzhi.
