The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 351 Fishing Jealousy

Qingyin looked at Wu Yong, whose mouth was dry from exhaustion, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Fortunately, Wu Yong invited her, otherwise she might be the one being talked about so much that her mouth is dry and her tongue is choked.

Thinking of this, Qingyin's eyes towards Wu Yong became even gentler.

"Then let's get on the carriage first." Qingyin said to Wu Yong with a smile.

Wu Yong nodded seriously.

However, Wu Yong's face froze when he suddenly remembered that he had only prepared one carriage.

.........

After a while, Wu Yong looked at the two light bulbs who were openly squeezed on both sides of Qingyin, and his own position that was about to be squeezed to the back of the car, and tears streamed down his face.

Wu Yong, who was staring at the two siblings, sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he prepared the most spacious and comfortable carriage in the general's mansion for Qingyin, otherwise these two light bulbs would really have squeezed into Qingyin.

The carriage was shaking all the way, but with the two chatterboxes, the siblings, around, Qingyin didn't really find the journey that difficult.

It seemed like it didn't take long before we reached the edge of the moat.

The moat has a distant and pleasant name, called Meteor River. It is said that every summer, a thin transparent mist occasionally rises from the spacious and flowing surface of the Meteor River. At this time, the stars in the sky are reflected on the river surface, just like a shower of falling stars, hence the name Meteor River.

With the help of servants, Qingyin safely got on the flower boat that was carefully prepared by Wu Yong. The flower boat was made entirely of precious rosewood. Not to mention the exquisite and complex Su-style southern style, just based on the material, a piece of it could be worth about fifty or sixty taels of silver if you broke it off with your hands.

Qingyin walked on the boat and leisurely stopped at the edge of the boat, gazing at the white crane with snow-white feathers walking gracefully on a shallow beach in the distance. She caught a small fish the size of her palm with her red tongue and prepared to enjoy a delicious meal.

The small boats on the road passed by, but the white crane didn't even move its eyes, and continued to enjoy its snack elegantly as usual. It was obvious that it was extremely accustomed to the presence of these two-legged beasts around it.

Qingyin looked at the scene and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

It’s so beautiful, such lovely creatures, and there weren’t so many dangers and bad environments in ancient times.

Wu Yong followed Qingyin's line of sight and saw that the white crane had already flapped its buttocks and walked away. He didn't see it and thought that Qingyin was interested in the ripples on the water. He smiled and said, "In this season, the silver carp in the river are getting fat. They like to come ashore to breathe, so they blow out some bubbles. Qingqing, why don't you try fishing for it yourself?"

Qingyin was really persuaded by Wu Yong. Having stayed in the mansion for a long time without much entertainment, Qingyin really felt like doing something interesting.

Seeing the girl's eager expression and her veil fluttering in the wind, Wu Yong smiled and said, "This boat is our private boat. It's just us. Qingqing, why don't you take off your veil, get some fresh air, and have some fun."

Listening to the man's advice, Qing Yin nodded, "Mr. Wu is right."

After saying that, the girl took off the light veil, revealing her extremely fair face, thick and curled eyelashes, gentle eyes, straight nose, and rosy and small mouth. There was not a single part of her that did not suit his taste. Under the sunlight, the girl was incredibly beautiful.

Wu Yong concealed the strong beating of his heart, and forced himself to remain calm as he handed Qingyin the lighter fishing gear and a small bucket, and explained the uses of these tools in detail and gently.

When the two of them were fishing, the atmosphere seemed intimate and harmonious.

It was not so beautiful in the eyes of Lin Yanwei and Lin Wanyu who were holding snacks and fruits. They looked at each other silently and walked out tacitly.

The two people sat down around Qingyin, especially Lin Yanwei, who directly squeezed Wu Yong aside and sat in his seat. He smiled at Wu Yong and said, "Brother Wu, you don't mind that your younger brother sits here to fish, right?"

Wu Yong: …

Can he say he minds? The man in front of him is his beloved younger brother and his future brother-in-law, what can he do?

Feeling aggrieved, Wu Yong squeezed onto the bench used by the servants nearby for rest, trying to get closer to Qing Yin and see Qing Yin in the narrow space.

Unfortunately, Wu Yong still underestimated Lin Yanwei's ability. Every time he adjusted his position and wanted to secretly take a look at his sweetheart, he was blocked by his brother-in-law's handsome face in the blink of an eye.

At first Wu Yong thought it was an accident, but later, after being blocked several times, he learned the truth.

His face darkened. No, if he wanted to pursue Qingyin, he had to get rid of these two troublesome brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

While battling wits and courage with the two siblings, Wu Yong seemed extremely busy as he did not forget to say a few words to Qingyin.

On the other side, Xie Ping, who was also thinking about Qingyin, ate the rice in his bowl bite by bite at the gorgeous palace banquet, thinking about the letter to be sent to the State of Chu. He didn't know how long it would take for his mother to receive it and fulfill his wish.

He really couldn't wait a moment longer to marry his sweetheart.

Qingqing is so beautiful, and not only did the cold-hearted Lin Nanxu leave the Lin family for her and want to pursue Qingqing with a legitimate identity, but now there is also the shameless Wu Yong who suddenly approaches... Xie Ping is very alert in his heart and just wants to marry his sweetheart as soon as possible and establish a legitimate status.

—

Xie Ping was the only son of the Emperor and Empress of Chu. Compared with several other emperors who were married through marriage, the Emperor of Chu truly loved his first wife, Empress Gong, who had followed him to fight in wars since he was a teenager. Empress Gong was intelligent and had taken good care of her fiancé and Emperor Xie Duan of Chu, who was one or two years younger than her. In the unfortunate childhood of Emperor Xie Duan, Empress Gong was undoubtedly his white moonlight.

Even though Xie Duan later took other concubines for political reasons, his feelings for Queen Gong never changed. On the day Xie Ping was born, he almost named the newborn child the crown prince despite the opposition of court officials. It was the weak Queen Gong who persuaded him and he temporarily gave up.

Xie Ping was not a normal child. During the period when he was raised by Queen Gong, Queen Gong increasingly discovered that her son was a child with extremely weak emotions. He had no feelings about life and had never felt happy or sad.

It wasn't until he suddenly picked up a knife when he was a child that he felt a hint of excitement.

Queen Gong looked at this child and gave up the idea of making him the emperor. An emperor without emotions was too dangerous! Queen Gong knew this better than anyone else.

Queen Gong liked Xie Duan, but it could not be said that she loved him. When her fiancé was still a miserable prince, Queen Gong was taught very well by her great scholar father, who not only improved her character but also her ability.

The great scholar father once sighed while drunk one night, saying that if his daughter were not a woman, she would have gone further than him.

Others just thought that Gong Daru was drunk and talking in his sleep, completely unaware that he was speaking the truth while he was sober.

Queen Gong married Xie Duan. From the crown princess to the queen, she has always been a virtuous assistant to Xie Duan. She is a smart person. She knows how much Xie Duan loves her. If Xie Ping had always been at peace with the State of Chu, Xie Duan would definitely have made her child the crown prince.

Therefore, Queen Gong personally sent her underage 14-year-old son Xie Ping to the Dongwei Kingdom as a hostage.

It's not that she disliked her son or Xie Duan, but what she thought about most was the four lines from Hengqu that her father had read to her: "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and create peace for all generations."

When Queen Gong thought of these four sentences, she could feel the blood surging in her body, urging her to think about the world and all the people in the world.

Therefore, she would not allow Xie Duan to act recklessly, nor would she allow Xie Ping to act recklessly.

"Empress, the Fifth Prince has returned with a letter." At night, the palace maid serving tea looked with admiration at the bright woman in the darkness who was flipping through memorials.

"Ping'er wrote a letter? That's new." The woman raised her head. She had a beautiful and gentle face. Except for a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, time had not left any traces on this great woman.

When Queen Gong smiled, the majestic atmosphere in the palace became much gentler.

With the help of the lamp used to read memorials, Empress Gong carefully read the letter sent by her son under the lamp, a letter from her son to his mother six years later.

In the letter, Queen Gong looked at her son who seemed to have no emotions, and praised the girl she liked very much, saying how beautiful she was and what a wonderful personality she had. She not only showed compassion to the beggars on the street, but also had no complaints about her miserable life. The cheerful, kind, resourceful and compassionate beautiful girl seemed to appear vividly in front of Queen Gong.

As Queen Gong read the lines of letters, the wrinkles on her face relaxed even more as she smiled.

"You little brat, you're lucky enough to meet a girl like this, and you dare to threaten his mother!"

Queen Gong said this, but the smile on her face showed no sign of anger.

The unexpected girl changed her son, and Queen Gong thought that perhaps her previous thoughts could be changed.

Lu He, one of Empress Gong's confidants, carefully poured a cup of hot tea for the Empress and placed it cautiously within the distance of both hands from the memorials, so as not to block the Empress's memorials and also to allow her to drink tea conveniently.

"Green lotus."

"Hey, my lady."

"Let's clean up the tree outside the window tomorrow and build a few nests. New life should be here soon!"

……

On the second day, after finishing his recent open patrols and secretly inspecting the riverside supervisors, Xie Duan finally returned to the palace.

The first thing Xie Duan did after taking a bath was to run to Luanfeng Palace and hugged his beloved queen for a while.

"The moon, the moon, the moon..."

Queen Gong's real name was Gong Yue, which means the pure white moon in the sky that inspires all living beings.

"Hey, hey, hey, the emperor is really something. He is already an old couple but still acts like a spoiled child." Queen Gong smiled gently, and her eyes as sharp as the sea enveloped Xie Duan.

This made Xie Duan unable to help but indulge in the tenderness of his wife, the queen.

"I will call you Yue'er for the rest of my life."

Queen Gong stopped talking and just smiled and nodded.

The two of them were warm for a while, and the atmosphere became sweeter.

After a while, Queen Gong handed the letter she had read yesterday to the man.

"Take a good look at what our audacious son has done and how he has come to threaten us."

Xie Duan raised an eyebrow, he didn't expect that his cold little son would actually write to them.

After reading the letter in twos and threes, Xie Duan frowned, "This brat actually dared to threaten Yue'er. When he comes back, Yue'er, I will beat him up for you to vent your anger."

Xie Ping, who was far away in Dongwei, couldn't help but sneeze.

Well, Qingqing must be thinking about him, thought Xie Ping, who was thinking about him.

When he returns to Hechu, he will secretly take out all the private treasures of his father and mother and give them to Qingqing.

(Ahem, this is a scene of loving father and filial son)

"You have no objection?" Queen Gong looked at her husband gently.

Xie Duan hugged his wife tightly, "Why should I care what he does? He likes it if he likes it. I am not that poor prince with no power or influence!"

"Yeah." Queen Gong curled the corners of her mouth, responded to Xie Duan with her hand, and gently patted the stubborn man.

—

Xie Ping, who was bored waiting at the palace banquet, couldn't stand this protracted and meaningless banquet anymore. He found a chance, slipped out of the banquet and waved to Lin Cheng, one of his confidants.

"Quick, tell me what Qingqing is doing now?"

Hearing this, Lin Cheng froze, thinking hard about what words to use so as not to make the master in front of him too angry and chop him down.

After talking for a few seconds, Lin Cheng, who was stared at by his master with a sinister look, couldn't think of any solution at all.

Finally, Lin Cheng, who had no choice but to tell the truth, said cautiously: "Miss Lin chatted with her sister and brother first, and then Master Wu Yong came and invited Miss Lin to go on a boat ride, and then..."

Lin Cheng's body suddenly stiffened. The dust and sand that the young man crushed with his fist beside his ear floated past gently, just like his heart.

"Don't stop! Keep talking." Xie Ping said with a forced smile.

Lin Cheng shuddered and continued, "Miss Lin accepted Master Wu Yong's invitation, but Miss Lin II and Master Lin III also went... Now blah blah, Miss Lin is fishing with Master Wu Yong."

"Humph! What's so great about fishing? I'll take Qingqing hunting and training soldiers in the future!"

Lin Cheng silently covered his face with his non-existent hands.

Their little prince is really jealous and very jealous.

But according to the little prince, will he never be able to pursue Miss Lin in his lifetime? Lin Cheng was deeply suspicious.

"Okay, let your double imitate me. I'm going to go out and look for Qingqing."

"Ah, ah?" Lin Cheng looked up blankly. The one who responded to him was the shadow of his little prince who was so willful and skilled in martial arts that he almost disappeared.

Xie Ping slipped away and ran towards Meteor River.

Xie Ping, who had originally thought of waiting for the letter from his mother to arrive before cultivating his relationship with Qingqing, now regretted it. He should not have been so shy. He should have been more proactive and enthusiastic towards Qingqing to prevent those people from trying to steal his girl away.

Here, Qingyin leisurely fished back several big fish. There were too many fish and they were heavy to carry. Qingyin thought it would be more convenient to sell all the fish directly on the shore except for one for himself.
