The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

She looked worriedly at Qi Chuan who was following not far behind her, and felt more and more that this man was clearly sent by Zhao Qi Yan to monitor her.

The royal carriage stopped at the painted boat pier, and the people around it all stayed away.

The young ladies from the Lu family were obviously enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, but Yun Shang didn't mind being exploited by them.

Anyway, this power is not hers, she just borrowed it from Zhao Qiyan.

When the princess arrived, several of the largest pleasure boats docked on the shore sent people over to introduce their own boats.

Lu Yunshan pushed aside the people in front of her and pointed at the Ruyi Boat with its dim lanterns and said, "We want to get on the Ruyi Boat."

When they heard that they were going to board the Ruyi Boat, all the people around gathered around.

If the lanterns on the Ruyi Boat are not lit, it means that no one has boarded the boat yet.

Yun Shang walked to the front of the Ruyi Boat surrounded by people, and a delicate woman wearing a soft veil soon walked down from the boat.

The woman had a graceful gait, a figure as slender as a willow, and a gentle temperament. She was a rare beauty.

The beauty bowed slightly and said, "My name is Yueying, the steward of the Ruyi Boat. I'd like to greet you, my distinguished guests."

"According to the rules of the Ruyi Boat, guests must answer the questions correctly before they can board. You only have three chances to answer. If you answer incorrectly three times, please come back tomorrow."

"Excuse me, since you all came here together, it's okay for you to discuss and answer the question later."

Yun Shang nodded, "Then please ask Manager Yue to set the questions."

"It would be nice to have some red furnace snow."

"Please give me the second line of the couplet."

Yun Shang was silent. What should she do if she knew the answer?

Seeing that she was silent and looked like she was deep in thought, Lu Yunhui thought she couldn't answer, so she hurried to rescue her, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if Princess Sister can't answer. We can go to the Thousand Lights Boat instead."

"Yes, the lanterns on the Thousand Lantern Boat come in many different styles and are very beautiful."

Just when the Lu sisters had turned around and were about to head towards the Thousand Lights Boat, Yun Shang suddenly spoke.

"Spread out like lights to illuminate the world at night."

"I don't know, is my answer correct?"

Yueying glanced at Yunchang in surprise, then quickly lowered her eyes, turned sideways, and gestured for them to come in. "Dear guests, please come in."

The boatmen in charge of the pleasure boats shouted, "Ruyi Boat, light up!"

Immediately afterwards, all the lanterns from the bow to the stern of the ship lit up, and a group of maids, dressed similarly to Yueying, lined up to greet them.

The gauze curtains are light and the fragrant breeze blows.

"Wow, there are so many beauties on the Ruyi Boat, it's true."

"If I could go on Ruyi Fang just once, I would have no regrets in my life."

The people around were all envious. It was obviously a rare thing to see the Ruyi Boat lit up.

Yun Shang followed Yueying's guidance and slowly boarded the boat. Once on the boat, she discovered that there was an even more mysterious world inside.

It is said that the luxurious games on cruise ships are unimaginable for poor people, and this ancient pleasure boat is no less so.

Even though he had seen many luxurious clothes in Prince Qi's Mansion, he was still shocked by the exquisiteness of this pleasure boat.

In the pure gold auspicious beast incense burner, the finest incense emits wisps of light smoke.

Yun Shang had only smelled this scent in the tea room next to Zhao Qiyan's study. It was a very elegant fragrance.

She still didn't know the name of the incense, but when she smelled the same scent, Yun Shang couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Manager Yue, what kind of incense is burning in this incense burner?"

Yueying knelt beside Yunshang and ordered tea for her herself. Yingying replied, "This fragrance is called Ningshuang. It is unique. There is no other."

No semicolon?

Temporarily suppressing her doubts, she asked a second question, "Regarding the question on board today, this princess would like to see the true face of the person who raised this question. Is that possible?"

Yueying looked at Yunshang in surprise. Obviously, Yunshang's question was a bit beyond her scope.

But she quickly calmed down and explained, "Your Excellency, you may not know that the boat owner told Yueying about the issue of boarding the boat. However, the boat owner is often not in Qingzhou, so I'm afraid he can't meet your request."

Yun Shang had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart, "Oh, if that's the case, then forget it."

Those who answer the question correctly can stay on the houseboat for a day and a night.

The pleasure boats at night, with thousands of lights flashing, are the most beautiful sight.

But Yun Shang was still thinking about the "fish" that she had agreed with Meng Tai, so she let the boat dock in advance.

When getting off the boat, Lu Yunshan was still not satisfied, "Sister Princess, can't we play for a while longer?"

Lu Yunhui glared at her. "It's already late at night. Do you really want to stay on the boat all night?"

Lu Yunshan had no choice but to get on the carriage in disappointment and return to the Lu Mansion together.

After Yun Shang returned to the small courtyard of the Lu Mansion, she immediately changed into a simple dark outfit. Qing Huan looked at her in confusion, "Miss, are you going to be a thief?"

"Qinghuan, listen to me. Meng Tai and I are going to go to Mei Niang's house quietly at night. The fewer people who know about this, the better. You watch in the yard. If anyone comes, tell them I'm asleep."

"This is very important to me, you know."

Qing Huan naturally knew the importance of this matter. She nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely not tell anyone."

As she spoke, she became worried again, "But Miss, can you go alone? It's so late, will there be any danger? How about asking Guard Qi to accompany you?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "Qing Huan, I don't want the prince to know about this. Do you understand?"

Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "That's right. What if the prince finds out about my background and becomes dislikeful of me? Then, my lady, you must be careful."

"Well, don't worry, there's Meng Tai."

After saying that, Yun Shang went out from the corner gate of the courtyard. The two guards saw Yun Shang and were about to follow her, but Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "No need to follow me. I'm going to the inner courtyard to find the old lady. I'll be back in a moment. The inner courtyard is full of women, so it's not convenient for you to follow me in."

After sending the guards away, Yun Shang went to the inner courtyard in full view of everyone.

The Lu Mansion was not as heavily guarded as the Qi Palace. Although the palace guards had guarded all the exits of the Lu Mansion, there were still some omissions.

Outside the dog hole on the west side of the Lu Mansion, two dusty figures were panting as they crawled out.

Yun Shang wiped the dirt off her body and said, "You are quite talented. In just one day, you have figured out how many dog ​​holes there are in the Lu Mansion."

In order to climb through the dog hole, Meng Tai had pinned the obstructive long robe to his waist. Now that he was out, he took it down and said, "I am short-handed. If it weren't for your one hundred taels, I wouldn't have been so attentive."

"Okay, now that we're out, let's leave quickly so Qi Chuan doesn't find out."

Yun Shang nodded. She had finally waited until Qi Chuan went out for patrol before she found a chance to escape. If she was caught, she would definitely have to get a lifetime VIP card for the dungeon.
