Chapter 493 Extra - Just for Fun
It's sunset right now, and the outdoor lighting is still good, so we can play for a while before having dinner.
"good."
Ye Qingning agreed, and the group moved to the open space in the garden.
Chen Shi put the skateboard on the ground: "Sister-in-law, let me try it first. I don't know how to play this thing."
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay."
As far as I can remember, in the original novel, it was because the female supporting character Ye Qingning was not gentle and virtuous enough when she was skilled in martial arts that the Crown Prince and the Empress disliked her.
While skateboarding isn't a weapon, it's not something a gentle woman should play with either.
This might make the crown prince dislike her even more, and prefer the female lead in comparison.
Thinking this, Ye Qingning took two steps forward and stepped onto the skateboard, giving Chen Shi a simple straight-line ride.
She was wearing a rather formal indigo dress, and even though it was only a short gliding distance, her clothes still fluttered beautifully, making her captivating.
Chen Shi stared wide-eyed: "This is so much fun! Let me try!"
Ye Qingning slid the skateboard to her feet: "Put one foot on the middle of the skateboard, use one foot to control the direction, and use the other foot to push off the ground to help you start..."
Chen Shi confidently stepped on the skateboard with one foot, and tried to slide forward with the other foot for leverage, but her body couldn't keep up with the speed of the skateboard, and she ended up lying on her back.
Chen Ci caught her quickly, saying, "I already told you it's not that simple."
Unconvinced, Chen Shi tried twice more, with essentially the same outcome: once Chen Ci caught her, and the other time Chu Song caught her.
Chen Shi stomped her foot angrily: "It's obvious that my sister-in-law is having a lot of fun!"
"This isn't something you can learn in a short time; your sister-in-law also learned it gradually."
"I must learn it." Chen Shi pouted and said aggrievedly, "I want to learn it so I can perform at Mother's birthday celebration. Mother will definitely be happy."
Chen Ci: "...Didn't you learn flower arranging from Shu Liangyuan?"
"I just wanted to make Mother Empress happier..."
She turned to Ye Qingning and asked, "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of falling. Can you teach me?"
Ye Qingning glanced at Chen Ci: "What does Your Highness think?"
"If Qing'er has nothing to do, why don't you teach her a lesson? It'll help her pass the time," Chen Ci said.
Ye Qingning nodded: "Okay, but I need to tell Her Highness first that skateboarding requires balance and is not so easy to master."
“It’s okay. I can do it.” Chen Shi said earnestly, “Thank you, sister-in-law. I’ll start learning tomorrow.”
Ye Qingning agreed: "Okay."
Yes, just to pass the time.
...
As darkness fell quickly, the meal from the Imperial Kitchen arrived. The group moved into the hall, and as they passed the Peach Garden, Chen Shi glanced at it a few more times: "Sister-in-law, is this Peach Garden a maze?"
"yes."
"It looks very exquisite. I'm going to go in and play with it after dinner."
"Can."
Chen Shi couldn't help but exclaim, "The fun things here at Sister-in-law's place are just as good as Sister-in-law Liangyuan's Wutong Residence. I'd like to stay at the Crown Prince's residence permanently."
Ye Qingning didn't offer an opinion, but Chen Ci patted Chen Shi's head: "Learning to skateboard is fine, but don't disturb Qing'er's rest, understand?"
Although these were just ordinary words of advice, they were taken very seriously by Chu Song, who was following behind.
A deep look appeared in his eyes, and he glanced coolly at Chen Ci's retreating figure.
Since leaving that day, the Crown Prince had never returned to Chuyun Palace, and he thought things were going smoothly.
Looking at him now, it's clear that the Crown Prince still has concern in his eyes when he looks at Qingqing!
This is really inappropriate!
He brought Princess Shuyun here again today; I wonder if they'll stay overnight in Chuyun Palace...
