Chapter 228 Picking Lotus Seeds, Fishing and Grilling Fish

Huapin-Tang Yihua stretched out her hand, but Shangguan Wanjun still didn't dare to go up.

"I'm afraid of falling."

Huapin-Tang Yihua sighed: "Please believe me."

The three imperial concubines, Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao, Concubine Ran-Wang Ran, and Concubine Zhou-Zheng Zhouxing, looked at the two of them silently. Shangguan Wanjun struggled in her heart for a long time, but finally got on the boat.

Looking at the man rowing the boat, Shangguan Wanjun was always afraid that the boat would capsize and fall out. Liu Cheng, Minglan, Lianhua, Muxiang and Ouhe on the shore were also afraid, and their eyes were always fixed on the pond.

Huapin Tang Yihua rowed very steadily. Shangguan Wanjun slowly relaxed and looked at the lotus flowers, lotus leaves and lotus roots around her. She had the urge to pick them all off.

"Look for lotus seeds that are easy to pick. Try picking them."

Shangguan Wanjun said softly: "Okay."

She looked around and found some lotus seeds in front of her that she could pick.

"Tang Yihua, go to the front and pick the lotus seeds." Huapin Tang Yihua was stunned when he suddenly heard his name coming from her mouth. He raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Wanjun.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua shook her head. Seeing this, Shangguan Wanjun urged him to row carefully to prevent the two of them from falling over.

"You must row seriously, our lives are in your hands." In fact, there were wooden boats of the guards around, and they could all swim.

Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua smiled indulgently: "Okay, then you can pick the lotus seeds as you see fit."

Shangguan Wanjun looked up and found that the lotus seeds she had seen earlier had arrived. She reached out, cut them off with scissors, and sniffed them.

"It has a slight fragrance." She wondered if it could be eaten raw, as she seemed not very familiar with lotus seeds.

She looked around: Never mind, let’s pick them first, it seems quite interesting.

When Concubine Ran - Wang Ran and other imperial concubines saw Shangguan Wanjun picking lotus seeds seriously, they also quickened their hands.

Accustomed to the feeling of being on the wooden boat, Shangguan Wanjun placed the cut lotus seeds in the boat, reached out to touch the pond water, and felt an indescribable coolness.

"It feels so cool."

Zhoupin-Zhengzhouxing saw that she was having a lot of fun, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Madam, would you like lotus flowers and lotus leaves? I will cut some for you."

Shangguan Wanjun looked around when she heard it.

"Okay, then you better pay attention."

Seeing how calmly and seriously he was picking lotus flowers, lotus leaves and lotus buds, Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and smiled.

"Zhengzhou, there is a pink lotus flower on your left, quickly get it down."

Zhengzhou Xing took a look and reached out to cut it off.

A red carp jumped out of the pond. The moment Shangguan Wan saw it, she was surprised.

"Look, fish." She raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua: "There are fish here."

"Yes, there are some edible crucian carp in the other pond. You can go fishing there later."

Shangguan Wanjun was pleasantly surprised: "Really? I'll have to try it later."

Since coming to this world, she has never fished.

When the wooden boat reached the shore, Minglan and Lianhua hurried forward to support her, and then they took out the lotus seeds, lotus flowers, lotus buds and lotus leaves one by one.

Everyone went to another pond to fish. Shangguan Wanjun was like a curious baby, interested in everything.

"Put the bait on this fish hook, throw the fishing rod down and wait, and pull up the fishing rod when you hear a sound." Huapin-Tang Yihua taught Shangguan Wanjun carefully, and then guarded her own fishing rod.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Shangguan Wanjun lost her patience.

"Tang Yihua, why is there no movement?" Her butt was sore from sitting.

"Please be patient. Fishing is a bit boring."

Shangguan Wanjun sighed: Fishing is so boring. If she had known this would happen, she would not have come.

On her left, the concubine Zhengzhou Xing patiently offered, "Please wait patiently for another quarter of an hour."

"Okay." Fishing is really not easy. I don't know why so many people like fishing. It takes a lot of patience. It's more boring than embroidery.

Ranpin-Wang Ran's fishing rod made a sound. He was delighted and quickly pulled it up to see that there was really a fish.

"Wow, Wang Ran, you really caught a fish. That's amazing." Unlike her, who hadn't made any movement for a long time, she was almost losing her patience.

Feeling the movement in her hand, Shangguan Wanjun was delighted and quickly pulled it up. When she took out the fish, she was extremely depressed.

"Why is it so small?" She finally caught a fish, but it was so small that she lost interest.

Seeing her lost, Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"It's okay, try fishing again, maybe you'll catch some big fish."

"Forget it, you guys go fishing, I'll peel the lotus seeds."

Lianhua and others brought the lotus seeds and started peeling them together. Shangguan Wanjun found it much more interesting.

"This is still interesting. It's fun to peel the fish." She likes things where she can see the rewards, so fishing is really not suitable for her.

The four imperial husbands smiled helplessly. It seemed that the emperor was really not suitable for fishing. It would be better for them to try harder to fish.

Huapin-Tang Yihua said: "Let's grill the fish later."

Concubine Zhou-Zhengzhou Xing seconded the motion: "Agreed."

Concubine Kang - Su Kangqiao and Concubine Ran - Wang Ran looked at Shangguan Wanjun who was peeling lotus seeds seriously, as if they wanted to hear her opinion before making a decision.

"Okay." She seemed to have never grilled fish before, so it was a good opportunity to try it out.

Concubine Ran - Wang Ran finally caught three fish that were neither very big nor very small; Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua caught two big fish; Concubine Zhou - Zhengzhou caught three small fish and one big fish; Concubine Kang - Su Kangqiao caught four small fish.

Everyone was grilling fish in the courtyard full of crape myrtles, and Shangguan Wanjun was very curious about it.

"You all know how to grill fish, that's amazing."

The four people who were praised smiled.

Huapin-Tang Yihua asked: "Do you want to try it?"

"Can I?"

"You can try it, it won't cause any harm." Shangguan Wanjun felt guilty and was afraid that it would get burnt.

"Then try it. If it's not right, you have to tell me in time." It would be a shame if she roasted the fish that he had worked so hard to catch.

"it is good."

Under the careful teaching of Concubine Hua-Tang Yihua, Shangguan Wanjun actually found that grilling fish was quite fun.

Concubine Ran - Wang Ran looked at the two close friends and felt a little jealous. He and the emperor had not had such intimate contact for a long time.

Concubine Zhou - Zhengzhou Xing glanced at the two of them, then looked up and saw Concubine Ran's lost eyes. He pursed his lips and sighed.

No matter who the emperor is in love with, the other imperial husbands will be sad.

The fish caught at Kangbin-Sukang Bridge are all small fish and are grilled quickly.

"Try this little fish."

Shangguan Wanjun was puzzled: "It's healed so quickly?"

"Yes, this fish is much smaller, so it cooks faster."

Shangguan Wanjun took the small fish. The eunuch who was testing poison beside her tasted it first. After waiting for a while, Shangguan Wanjun finally got her wish and ate the grilled fish.

"Delicious, it seems to have a spicy taste, you are really good."

Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Eating grilled fish, admiring flowers, smelling their fragrance, and looking at the blue sky, white clouds and sunset glow, Shangguan Wanjun felt that such a leisurely life was quite good.

"Looks like I'll have to stay overnight tonight. Is it convenient for me to stay here?"

Concubine Hua, Tang Yihua, said, "Your Majesty, it has been arranged long ago."

Shangguan Wanjun became more and more impressed with Huapin Tang Yihua's ability to do things.
