Chapter 163 The Crooked Monk Who Doesn’t Guard His Libido
Xiao Baozhu thought of something else. "However, Zhao Shuning seems to be quite experienced in gynecology. She even cured the Fourth Princess' infertility. Will she also be able to resolve the aftereffects of Lu Shiyin's infertility?"
If this is the case, the so-called handle in their hands will be completely ineffective.
Lu Zhiran's attention was all focused on another thing.
"You just said that she cured the Fourth Princess' infertility?"
Xiao Baozhu nodded. "I heard the servants talking about this at the Lu Mansion today. Prince Consort Lu had just brought his concubine and son back home when the Fourth Princess was found to be pregnant. She should have been severely punished, but with this amulet, she's become a hot commodity. We worked so hard to set up this scheme, but it all went to waste."
At the end of her speech, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed and regretful.
Lu Zhiran fell into deep thought.
In her previous life, Xiao Wanzhen never got pregnant again. Could it be that things have taken a turn for the better in this life because of her rebirth?
Or...
"Sister Ran, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this?"
Lu Zhiran shook her head. "Not sure yet, just a little surprised."
If it is really as he guessed, then Zhao Shuning is taking the initiative to offer a big handle.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Xiao Baozhu was very tactful and didn't ask any further questions.
The next day was another beautiful spring day.
People came out of their homes and went to the riverside or stream to hold purification ceremonies.
Purification, which means washing the body with clean water, symbolizes washing away the bad luck and illness of the past year and welcoming good luck and health in the new year.
Along the moat, willow branches sway gently, peach blossoms bloom, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance. People, dressed in new clothes, hold willow branches, either dipping them in water and sprinkling them on their companions or gently brushing them across their shoulders to ward off evil and ward off disaster.
There are many pleasure boats on the river bank, which are all rented by literati and poets. The boats move slowly along the river. Everyone recites poems and composes couplets on the boats while enjoying the river scenery, which is also a different kind of fun.
A young girl in a lavender skirt embroidered with butterflies and flowers, surrounded by her maids, slowly walked towards the shore. The hem of her skirt was folded like wisteria flowers blooming in spring.
Her face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of clear and beautiful eyes, which added to her mysterious charm.
Lu Shiyin should have been recuperating at home, but when she learned that Lu Zhiran and Xiao Yanqing had invited her to go on a trip together today, she could no longer stay.
She couldn't just watch her position as the queen being snatched away by that woman!
She stood on the shore, looking around, and urged the maid beside her, "Hurry up and look, where is the Hibiscus Boat?"
Each pleasure boat has its own sign hanging on it. Jingchun Boat is the largest pleasure boat in Beijing, and the pleasure boats under it are named after famous flowers such as peony and hibiscus.
After searching around for a while, they finally found the target.
"Miss, over there."
Lu Shiyin walked towards that direction.
The maids all looked nervous, but Lu Shiyin remained calm. She walked to the front of the pleasure boat and said arrogantly, "I've been invited here. Please lead the way."
The housekeeper on the pleasure boat quickly glanced at her and asked, "Are you the Princess of Pingle County?"
Lu Shiyin nodded calmly, "Exactly."
The housekeeper didn't even check my identity and immediately led the way, "Please come in, sir. Watch your step."
Lu Shiyin got on the pleasure boat so easily, and all the maids breathed a sigh of relief.
The decoration and furnishings in the pleasure boat are all very exquisite, which shows that a lot of thought has been put into it.
When Lu Shiyin saw this scene, she found it extremely annoying.
"Have you arranged things over there?"
"My lady, everything has been arranged. The Princess of Pingle County will not have the opportunity to keep her appointment today."
A sinister smile appeared on Lu Shiyin's face. "Very good."
Soon, the woman's seductive face will be ruined. She can only dream of flying onto the branches!
And I...
At this time, there was a voice outside. It was Xiao Yanqing.
Lu Shiyin immediately put on her veil and signaled the maids to put on their veils as well and sit upright.
Xiao Yanqing wore a jade belt around his waist, a jade crown on his head, and a dark brocade robe. The lapels and cuffs were trimmed with delicate cloud patterns, adding a touch of solemnity. The flowing light made him look even more handsome and extraordinary.
He has been very busy recently and only just finished his work two days ago.
Unexpectedly, he received an invitation from Lu Zhiran at this time.
He was a little hesitant at first, but men are always very confident in themselves. He changed his mind and wondered if the woman had stopped at the brink of death and made a new decision.
She couldn't do anything to him anyway, and no matter what, he wouldn't be the one who suffered.
With this in mind, Xiao Yanqing dressed up carefully and happily went to the appointment.
The woman in the pleasure boat wore a veil, lowered her brows and closed her eyes, sitting there quietly. She had a unique charm of a peaceful and tranquil life. Thinking of the stunning beauty under the veil, Xiao Yanqing's eyes became hot.
The two distinguished guests boarded the boat, which swayed and slowly drifted downstream.
At the same time, in another pleasure boat, Xiao Yanci was talking with someone, and the person opposite him was a bald old monk.
The old monk was wearing a faded cassock, with a messy beard and gray eyebrows. There was a wine bag at his side, which he would take a sip from from time to time, looking like a crooked monk who had no restraint on his appetite.
He stared at the chessboard with a frown on his face, unable to place a single move for a long time.
Xiao Yanci's expression was filled with forbearance. After waiting for a full cup of tea, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Old monk, have you made up your mind?"
Wu Chen stroked his beard and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Young people need to be patient."
"You've been thinking about this move for two cups of tea!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, let me think it over carefully."
Xiao Yanci said coldly, "Then you go down by yourself. I'm sorry I won't accompany you!"
"Don't worry, don't worry..."
Xiao Yanci stood up and was about to leave, but Wu Chen quickly made a move, "Alright, alright, I'm making my move. Young people are just so impetuous, they can't keep their composure."
Xiao Yanci said with a cold face, "Go play with someone else, I can't keep you company."
This lousy chess player hasn't made any progress after all these years!
Wu Chen scowled, "Do you still want my help? If you want help, you should have the attitude of asking for help."
Xiao Yanci choked, but finally sat down again with a heavy heart and endured the humiliation.
"You can only consider one move for a cup of tea at most!"
Wu Chen slowly stroked his beard, "Young people are always impatient..."
Xiao Yanci: Endure!
Xiao Yanci's moves were all ruthless, and finally after half an hour, the game ended. Wu Chen lost by one piece.
Wu Chen grabbed his bare head and said, "One more round."
Xiao Yanci clasped his hands on the chessboard and said, "Let's talk business first."
Wu Chen withdrew his hand with a look of reluctance, picked up the wine bag and took a sip, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
