The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the sunlight was shining on the earth, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. Luo Lingyue was dressing up in her boudoir when she suddenly heard a slight knock at the door.

She opened the door and saw a servant standing outside with an exquisite invitation in his hand. The servant handed over the invitation respectfully and said, "Miss, this is from Prince Xiao, please have a look." Luo Lingyue took the invitation and took a closer look. She saw the words "Miss Luo Lingyue is specially invited to visit Crescent Lake today" written on it in elegant fonts.

She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and muttered to herself, "Why would Xiao Jinghan suddenly invite me to go boating?" So, she turned the invitation in her hand over and over again, as if trying to find some clues from it.

The maid Linglong saw her master's puzzled expression and couldn't help but giggle. She leaned close to Luo Lingyue's ear and whispered, "Miss, you and Prince Xiao are engaged, he must want to take this opportunity to improve his relationship with you! Crescent Lake is a holy place for lovers! Maybe something romantic will happen..." After saying that, Linglong showed an ambiguous smile on her face.

Luo Lingyue's cheeks flushed after hearing Linglong's words. She rolled her eyes at Linglong and said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense! We are just engaged, not officially married yet. Besides, Master Xiao and I have only met a few times, and we are not familiar with each other. This trip to the lake may just be an ordinary social event." However, despite saying this, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in her heart. After all, she was still full of curiosity about this mysterious Master Xiao.

Linglong and Liuli skillfully tied up Luo Lingyue's hair into a bun that was the most popular in Beijing at the time. The complex and exquisite hairstyle was like a work of art in their hands. Afterwards, they carefully applied an extremely delicate makeup, which made Luo Lingyue's already beautiful face even more charming and beautiful.

Luo Lingyue stared at herself in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but be a little surprised at the beauty in front of her. She looked embarrassed and muttered softly: "I'm just going to meet someone, is it necessary to dress up so seductively? I'm just like a little goblin who specializes in seducing people!"

She secretly complained in her heart. Although she knew that this meeting might be quite important, was it a bit too much to dress up like this? However, facing Linglong and Liuli's eyes full of joy and expectation, Luo Lingyue couldn't say anything more and could only let them dress up. After all, beauty is also a weapon. Perhaps in some occasions, such a look will bring unexpected benefits...

Linglong said seriously, "Miss, you have to pay attention! This meeting is crucial. You must leave a good impression on Master Xiao! Only in this way can you win the favor and love of your husband after your wedding!"

However, Luo Lingyue just glanced at her indifferently, curled her lips slightly, and retorted disapprovingly: "Humph, what do you know, little girl? Don't you have a lot of experience in this area? Let me tell you, women still have to rely on themselves in the end! Those so-called men are not reliable at all! If men were really reliable, I'm afraid even sows would climb trees!"

Hearing this, Linglong was stunned and screamed: "Oh, Miss! How can you say such vulgar words? You are a lady from a famous family! Such words are really beneath your dignity and too inconsistent with your upbringing! Remember not to say them again in the future..."

Luo Lingyue looked helplessly at the chattering and nagging little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "Okay, okay! Stop nagging, let's go out quickly!" After that, she waved her hand gently, signaling the little girl to stop talking.

Afterwards, Luo Lingyue and his group came to the beautiful Crescent Lake. From afar, the lake was sparkling, like a huge silver mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. On a small boat by the lake sat a tall man, he was Xiao Jinghan.

Luo Lingyue looked closely and found that Xiao Jinghan did not bring any guards or servants with him, but came alone to the appointment. This behavior made her feel a little curious and puzzled, but she also admired his free and easy attitude.

Linglong and Liuli seemed to understand what Master Xiao was thinking. They smiled at each other and then quietly retreated back into the carriage, leaving Luo Lingyue and Xiao Jinghan alone. At this moment, the breeze was blowing gently over the lake, and the lotus leaves were swaying, as if creating a romantic and peaceful atmosphere for this handsome man and beautiful woman.

Crescent Lake is sparkling, and the water is clear and transparent, like a huge mirror, reflecting the lush trees and blue sky. There are many small islands of various shapes scattered in the lake, like pearls inlaid on the lake, emitting charming brilliance.

Luo Lingyue stepped lightly onto the bow of the boat. Xiao Jinghan smiled and handed her an exquisite oar, saying softly, "Miss Luo is from a military family, and you look very heroic. You must be very skilled in rowing, right?"

Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at Xiao Jinghan sharply, and said with a hint of joking in her tone: "Prince Xiao invited me to the lake today. Isn't it just to enjoy the beautiful scenery? If you have anything to say, please tell me directly."

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Xiao Jinghan's eyes, but he pretended to be helpless, and sighed, "Miss Luo, you think too much! I just want to go boating with you alone."

As they were talking, the boat had already left the shore and was speeding towards the center of the lake. White water splashed on both sides of the boat, sparkling in the sunlight. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, blowing the hair and clothes of the two people, as if witnessing this special conversation.

Luo Lingyue suddenly felt a hint of murderous intent. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jinghan: "Humph! I think you want more than just a boat trip!"

Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile: "Miss Luo is really smart, I just got the news that someone actually tried to assassinate me!"

Hearing this, Luo Lingyue's face instantly became extremely gloomy. She widened her eyes and shouted angrily: "Fuck you! You clearly want to drag me down with you!"

Facing Luo Lingyue's accusation, Xiao Jinghan sneered, still maintaining that unpredictable smile and said: "I'm sorry, I don't have a master, so there is naturally no such thing as a 'master'. Besides, we are going to be husband and wife in the future. As the saying goes, we share happiness and difficulties together. Now that we have encountered such a thing, shouldn't we face it together?"

Luo Lingyue was immediately furious. She gritted her teeth and yelled, "I'm just as stupid as you! Hurry up and row the boat back for me!" However, Xiao Jinghan turned a deaf ear to her roar and instead threw the oar in his hand into the lake.

He pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Oh! How come my oar flew away by itself! In that case, Miss Luo will have to row the boat alone!" After that, he sat leisurely at the bow of the boat, looking at Luo Lingyue leisurely.
