Chapter 271: Invitation in pairs
The more Xue Lian thought about it, the more this truth became.
"As for the osmanthus cake, everyone originally wanted to take a piece and taste it, but you had to serve it to Princess Qiuxi with the plate, so that we didn't even taste a bite."
After Ning Ru'an finished speaking, he sat back in his original position and set his eyes on the lake outside again.
Xue Lian looked at Wen Shi who was sitting on the side with some panic, for fear that he would listen and believe Ning Ru'an.
Wen Shi didn't say a word at all from beginning to end, his eyes were staring at Ning Ru'an, with a faint smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the people have no ...... There is no ......" Xue Lian stammered and wanted to explain, but she could only repeatedly emphasize that she didn't, and she couldn't say a word to defend herself now.
"Drink water." Wen Shi poured a cup of tea, and then handed it to Ning Ru'an.
Ning Ru'an stared at the teacup for a long time before taking the tea and drinking it.
"One more drink." Wen Shi handed over a cup of tea again, and saw that Ning Ruan kept waving his hand, "Moisten your throat." ”
Ning Ru'an's wave of his hand stopped, and he took a sip after taking the tea, because he drank too eagerly, a water stain ran down the corner of his mouth.
Wen Shi watched his Adam's apple move.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xue Lian saw that the two of them had completely ignored themselves, and spoke again to regain their sense of existence.
"Hmm." Wen Shi frowned and looked at Xue Lian, his eyes adding a bit of slaughter.
Xue Lian was stunned, unable to say half a sentence on her lips.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the hairpin has been recovered." The guard opened the curtain and walked in, holding a dripping red gold tassel hairpin in his hand.
Wenshi nodded.
The guard quickly brought the hairpin to Xue Lian, "Miss Xue, let's see if this is your hairpin." ”
Xue Lian looked at the hairpin in her hand and looked at her slightly.
Seeing that Xue Lian's reaction was slow for a while, the guard directly stuffed the hairpin into her hand.
Xue Lian took the hairpin and realized that she was leaving the boat.
It was still raining heavily, and the guards had umbrellas ready to escort her out of the boat.
Although we have reached the center of the lake, there is still a small boat on the deck.
In a hurry, Xue Lian didn't care about any men and women's defenses, and directly stepped forward and grabbed Wen Shi's sleeve: "His Royal Highness the Prince......" Jiaojiao and Rourou called out like this, and she couldn't say a word anymore.
What can she say.
She couldn't say anything.
She is not like Ning Ru'an, who has endless topics to talk about with His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Ning Ru'an." Wen Shi directly ignored Xue Lian, and instead looked at Ning Ru'an, who was sitting on the side.
Ning Ru'an rubbed her temples, panicked by the other party's eyes.
"Sister, there are still a lot of people watching here." Ning Ruan had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak, "You have to know that this is not as good as home, let alone Princess Qiuxi's Mansion." Remember what I said to you? ”
Remember.
Xue Lian remembers!
Ning Ru'an told him not to be too pretentious, not to be strong, he would be ridiculed and even more despised by others.
But......
"I think my sister should go back on the boat on the side." Ning Ru'an stepped forward and covered Xue Lian's movements with her figure.
There are so many people on the painting boat, if it is favored by others, it will definitely be difficult to hear it.
Ning Ru'an didn't want to lose this person.
Moreover, the Marquis of Kangping's Mansion can't lose this person.
Xue Lian naturally understood, and withdrew her hand little by little, biting her lower lip.
"Ning Ru'an." Wen Shi spoke again, but this time his eyes fell on Xue Lian.
This woman seems to be different from what she imagined.
There are some different kinds of Dong on her body, and those eyes don't look very clear, compared to before, they are completely two people.
However, this is not a very important thing.
Wen Shi fell her gaze on Ning Ru'an, she was indeed very different from before. It's exactly two people.
With a flash of inspiration in his head, Wen Shi thought of something funny, and suddenly laughed again.
Ning Ru'an breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xue Lian'an dividing up, and then chose a chair farthest away from Wen Shi to sit down.
As soon as he sat up and looked up, Ning Ru'an saw Wen Shi smiling at him, and the tears in the corners of his eyes made him unparalleled.
In an instant, Ning Ru'an blushed again, and hurriedly lowered his head and drank tea to cover himself.
Xue Lian had no choice but to follow the guards outside.
As soon as she got out of the cabin, she saw the little prince Si Wuji standing on the painting boat next door.
Si Wuji, dressed in pale cyan clothes and holding a blue oil-paper umbrella, was standing on the deck of the painting boat looking at the surrounding lake scenery.
"The folk girl sees the little prince." Xue Lian's tone was full of crying, and she said aggrievedly.
Si Wuji came back to his senses and saw Xue Lian standing outside the painting boat, her hair was wet with rain, and several strands were stuck to her cheeks, looking extremely pitiful.
"You are?" Si Wuji looked over, as if he didn't think of who the other party was for a while.
"I'm Xue Lian, we met once at Princess Qiuxi's birthday banquet." Xue Lian said timidly.
"It's you." Si Wuji thought of Xue Lian, and his tone was a little frivolous, "Why is it raining here alone, if I get sick, I will feel distressed." ”
"Little prince, don't ...... like this," Xue Lian's tone carried a little flattery.
The people in the painting boat clearly understood the words outside.
Ning Ru'an rubbed her temples, Si Wuji really thought that the wind was a wanderer, and he moved Xue Lian in a few words.
However, she couldn't allow Xue Lian to lose face outside, and the face of the Marquis of Kangping couldn't be lost by her.
Knocking on the table, Ning Ru'an planned to go out to find Si Wuji and say it well, or to beat Xue Lian well.
"What are you doing?" Wen Shi got up after him, walked to Ning Ru'an's side, and naturally grabbed her hand.
Ning Ru'an broke free a few times, and when he saw that he couldn't pull it out, he followed Wen Shi.
The two of them walked outside, and happened to see Xue Lian standing on the deck very anxious and worried, while Si Wuji bent down to pick up something on the lake.
"What happened?" Wen Shi stepped forward, but was blocked by the wind that caught the rain.
"The handkerchief fell in." Si Wuji straightened up, "I want to catch it." ”
"There's a stick." Wen Shi looked at the handkerchief on the lake, which was beaten up and down by the rain.
"No, it's too abrupt." Si Wuji bent down again, and finally scooped up the poor handkerchief, "It seems that it can't be used for the time being." ”
Xue Lian's cheeks flushed, and after taking the handkerchief, she stopped talking.
"I wonder if Miss Xue can enjoy her face and swim in the lake with me?" Si Wuji then asked Xue Lian again.
"No......" Ning Ru'an opened her mouth and wanted to refuse for Xue Lian, but before she could say it, she was slapped by Wen Shi's palm, and she blushed instantly.
Xue Lian bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes fell on Wen Shi's body.
"What does Miss Ning want to say?" Si Wuji turned his head and asked.
"Hmm. The sister will be handed over to the little prince. Ning Ru'an pondered for a moment and said.
"Then I won't bother you much with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Si Wuji's eyes fell on the hands of the two of them.
"No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a good mood since he came back, it turns out that he is accompanied by a beautiful woman." Si Wuji laughed, and instead raised his hand at Xue Lian, "Has Miss Xue decided to follow me to swim in the lake?" ”
Xue Lian looked at Si Wuji, then at Wen Shi, and shook her head: "Thank you little prince, the people don't want to." ”
