Yan Qingwan and his companions sat comfortably on the boat for half an hour.

The breeze blows gently, the lotus leaves sway slightly, and the fragrance of lotus flowers circulates around me.

On the boats coming and going around were ladies and young ladies from various families. Those who were interested in picking lotus pods started to do it themselves under the guidance of the young eunuchs.

Yan Qingge and Zhao Shuhan also stood at the bow of the boat with great interest and tried to pick a lot of lotus pods.

Zhao Shuhan was very happy with the fruits she picked. She said to Yan Qingge who was busy beside her, "Qingge, let's pick some more and bring them back for everyone to taste."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingge hesitated for a moment. She turned around to glance at Yan Qingwan's expression and saw her smiling and nodding at her.

Only then did he feel relaxed and nodded to Zhao Shuhan beside him with a smile, "Okay."

The two continued to pick lotus pods diligently, and soon, a lot of fresh lotus pods were piled up in the cabin.

At this time, a boat slowly approached their boat.

Standing at the bow was a pretty woman in a pink skirt. She was Wei Miaozhu, the daughter of Duke Wei.

I saw that her eyebrows were smiling and her eyes were as bright as stars, which made people feel very fond of her.

She chuckled and greeted Yan Qingwan: "Miss Yan, what a coincidence."

Yan Qingwan nodded and replied with a smile, "Miss Wei, it's a coincidence. Are you here to pick lotus pods as well?"

Wei Miaozhu glanced at Yan Qingge and Zhao Shuhan who were picking lotus pods at the bow, and thought of the nanny sitting in her boat, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Then he quickly returned to normal, shook his head and smiled: "No, I was just taking a look. I am satisfied to be able to appreciate the beauty of this pond."

After hearing this, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but smile and said, "I have the same idea as Miss Wei."

Wei Miaozhu was stunned when she heard that. She saw that there were many lotus pods on the other party's boat, and there were no other nannies or the like. She thought that Miss Yan was tired from picking lotus pods and took a rest. However, she didn't expect that she was just sitting there watching.

She said uncertainly: "Miss Yan, don't you plan to get up and try it yourself?"

Yan Qingwan shook his head and said uninterestedly: "Forget it, it's quite interesting to just watch them picking lotus pods quietly."

Wei Miaozhu nodded, and his mind suddenly became clear.

Yes, although the nanny was strict and didn't allow me to pick the fruits myself, it was really a different feeling to just watch others busying about.

Wei Miaozhu looked much more relaxed than when he first arrived. After chatting with Yan Qingwan for a few more words, he waved goodbye and ordered the eunuch to row the boat away.

Yan Qingwan looked at her departing back and thought of the prince, wondering what he was doing at the moment.

······

Si Jinchen had just walked out of the palace where he lived and was about to go to the lotus pond. When he passed a corner, a woman suddenly rushed out and blocked his way. She looked up and shouted in surprise, "Crown Prince Cousin."

Si Jinchen lowered his head and looked, his eyes cold with a hint of disdain, "Why are you here again?"

Zeng Yulan's face froze, she pouted, and said unhappily, "Brother Crown Prince, are you unhappy that I came to see you?"

Hearing this, Si Jinchen frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone and a cold voice, "Why should I be happy? Did you come to me this time to ask me to accompany you to see some lilies? I don't have the time for that."

Hearing this, Zeng Yulan's face flashed with embarrassment, but she quickly recovered and said with a sweet smile:

"I'm not going to see the lilies. I just want to ask my cousin if he wants to go to the lotus pond with me. Everyone is picking lotus pods over there now. It's so lively!"

Si Jinchen frowned, glanced at her coldly, and said in a low voice: "I will go by myself, I don't need you to accompany me. In the future, whether you have something to do or not, don't come to me to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, no longer paying attention to Zeng Yulan.

Seeing this, Zeng Yulan hurriedly took a few steps forward and stood in front of him again.

Si Jinchen's face instantly darkened as his way was blocked again. His handsome face was dark, his black pupils were deep, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he silently stared at Zeng Yulan who was one meter away from him with her hands open to stop him.

Zeng Yulanlan looked at Si Jinchen's murderous eyes and couldn't help but tremble all over and took a small step back involuntarily.

But thinking of her plan and purpose before coming here, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said to Si Jinchen with a stiff upper lip: "Cousin, I have liked you for a long time. Can you let me be your Crown Princess? I will definitely fulfill my duties as a wife, so just rest assured!"

When she said the last sentence, Zeng Yulan felt her face getting hot and even her heart beat faster.

However, when she mustered up the courage to open her eyes, she found that the place opposite was empty.

She turned around in a hurry, and when she saw Si Jinchen's back walking away, her facial features twisted with anger, and she stood there stamping her feet in anger.

Ahhh, Yan Qingwan, Zeng Yulan swore here that she would never forgive her in this life.

In the circle of noble ladies in the capital, from now on, it’s either him or me, or me or her.

The prince's cousin must have been accidentally bewitched by her, this shameless vixen.

No, she couldn't just sit here and wait for death, she had to go find her aunt the Queen.

She just didn't believe that if the Queen Aunt knew about this, she would not be angry. Then, let's see what that bitch Yan Qingwan would do.

Maybe by that time, things will have been successful, and she doesn't believe that the royal family will allow an unfaithful woman to be the crown princess.

However, what's going on with these people who went to do the work? Such a long time has passed, and why hasn't anyone come to inform her of the good news?

Don't let things not be done well and end up giving her a big surprise?

Her mind was full of wild imagination and she thought of several possible solutions. Finally, she shook her head and comforted herself. Forget it, she should go find her aunt first!

After telling your aunt the general situation, let her make the decision!

After thinking it through, she turned around and followed towards the lotus pond.
