The lake is actually only slightly larger than a pond.
Looking from this side of Linxuan Palace, the houses opposite appear to be only the size of a palm, barely visible in the darkness, though they are brightly lit, a stark contrast to the quiet and desolate atmosphere of Linxuan Palace.
He Yunxiao took Meng Qingrou's hand and led her to the lakeside.
Of course, the flow of blood never stopped where their hands were clasped. The warm blood from He Yunxiao flowed into Meng Qingrou's body, making her feel that the night was not cold.
According to her usual habits, she would only come out to play for a while in the afternoon. The rest of the time, she would stay in Linxuan Palace.
That's why people with weak constitutions can't stand cold air.
Especially at night, it's even less likely that they'll go out.
However, seeing that her sister seemed very tired this time, she wanted to make a soothing sachet for her to use. Xing'er wouldn't allow her to take such a dangerous thing as a sickle, so she had to sneak out quietly.
Meng Qingrou felt warm all over, even on such a cold, windy night.
She glanced at He Yunxiao, then quickly turned her head away again.
If it weren't for this young master, I don't know what would have happened if I had injured my hand. But he helped me so much, and I still don't know his name.
He refused the money I offered him, which shows that he is not greedy for money and has a noble character.
Meng Qingrou, Meng Qingrou, someone saved you, you should thank him properly.
"Nam-joo, which one do you like?"
He Yunxiao held Meng Qingrou's hand and stood by the lake, pointing at the fish in the lake.
The lake water was crystal clear, and with the help of the bright moonlight, one could vaguely see several plump and beautiful fish swimming in it.
The fish in the palace lake are not naturally free-growing, but are fed fish food year-round. Therefore, they are plump and strong, and not afraid of people.
Looking at the fish in the lake, Meng Qingrou pointed to the prettiest one and said, "I like it."
"You like it? Okay."
He Yunxiao bent down, picked up a stone, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then, to Meng Qingrou's astonishment, instantly threw the small stone, which carried his internal energy.
The little stone hurtled towards the fish that Princess Nanzhu loved most, instantly piercing its body and sinking to the bottom of the water.
The beautiful fish lost its dream, floated smoothly to the surface, and waited for someone to pick it up.
Meng Qingrou was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Come on, let me treat you to some fish."
Since they were currently in the "healing" phase and blood transfusions were still ongoing, he couldn't let go. He Yunxiao had no choice but to hold Meng Qingrou and stand by the lake.
He said, "The fish is a bit far, I'll go into the water to get it. You stay on the shore and don't move around."
After giving his instructions, He Yunxiao stepped into the water, stretched out his right arm behind him, and held hands with Meng Qingrou.
The fish was indeed quite far from the shore; even with both he and Meng Qingrou outstretched their arms, they were still a bit far from picking it up.
He Yunxiao tried his best to bend over, and stretched out his left hand straight, but it was still a little short.
Seeing this, Meng Qingrou quietly moved closer to the water. But to her surprise, the soil on the bank was very loose, and when she stepped to the very edge, the soil suddenly collapsed!
"ah!"
He Yunxiao heard a scream behind him, turned around and saw Nan Zhu falling into the water.
Startled, he forgot all about the fish and quickly stood up straight, stood on tiptoe, and raised his right arm.
After a series of maneuvers, Meng Qingrou felt her right hand being stretched taut by her own weight, leaving her suspended in mid-air. With a slight movement of her small feet, she could touch the water's surface.
In this position, the two people can only press tightly together.
He Yunxiao had fully experienced the softness of his wife, Nanzhu.
Although the project wasn't large in scale, He Yunxiao, who enjoyed his work, wasn't greedy. He always preferred to do his best and leave the rest to fate. If fate was beyond his control, he could only try his best to grasp it.
This time, however, fate intervened. The outcome was just right, not too big, not too small, perfectly within our grasp.
Of course, this is not He Yunxiao praising his wife Nanzhu while belittling Sister Jiang. In fact, he is very tolerant. The saying "the sea is vast because it accommodates all rivers" perfectly describes He Yunxiao's inclusive and tolerant aesthetic.
"You, you, you put me down right now."
The position was too intimate, and Meng Qingrou blushed, becoming a little anxious.
He Yunxiao originally wanted to continue working overtime and do more work. However, Boss Nanzhu was not willing, so he had to give up.
"Don't move."
He Yunxiao held Meng Qingrou's left hand with his right hand and lifted her up, leaving his left hand free. So, he hooked his left hand around Meng Qingrou's knees and lifted her lower body into a "princess carry" position.
But at this moment, his right hand was supporting most of Meng Qingrou's weight and could not move. So, He Yunxiao had to lean back and let Meng Qingrou's body rest more on his chest.
"Hold my neck with your right hand."
He Yunxiao said to his wife, who was from the South Sea.
Meng Qingrou hesitated, after all, such a position was too intimate and too embarrassing. How could she be so close to a man other than her husband?
"Smack!"
He Yunxiao gently slapped Nan Zhu's wife's buttocks, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and hug me, or I'll throw you into the water."
Meng Qingrou bit her lip lightly, her face burning red, as if on fire.
A tingling, numb sensation spread through her buttocks; it didn't hurt, and was even somewhat comfortable. However, for such a grown princess to be... by someone else... filled Meng Qingrou with immense shame.
Men and women should not touch each other, how could he... how could he...
He Yunxiao, who had been carrying his wife, wasn't tired at all, since his wife, Nan Zhu, wasn't heavy. She was about 1.65 meters tall and weighed around 100 kilograms, with all the right features, making her quite well-proportioned.
