Jiang Ling counted with her fingers: "It's been a few months."
"Forget it, I'll peel the lotus seeds for you." After all, it's just a new acquaintance, Zhan Lezhang can't get too deep with him and change the topic.
Zhan Lezhang's hands are beautiful, with slender and fair fingers, a pair of typical literati hands. He peeled lotus seeds very quickly. It didn't take long for the plate in front of them to be filled with green lotus seeds.
Jiang Ling peeled slowly, Zhan Lezhang pushed the plate full of lotus seeds to Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling took one slowly, her curiosity undiminished: "What are the other uses you mentioned just now?"
"It is not suitable for the use we are talking about now. If there is a chance in the future, I will tell you."
Seeing that Zhan Lezhang had no intention of speaking, Jiang Ling secretly decided to ask the prince after returning home, the prince is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, maybe he knows.
The Ninth Prince brought back several baskets full of lotus pods and said, "It's almost there. I'll send some to my father, queen, and concubine later. If you pick too many lotus pods, it's a waste."
Jiang Ling also picked some, not many, put them in a small basket and put them by his lap.
After picking the lotus pods, the Ninth Prince invited people to go fishing together.
Jiang Ling has never caught fish before, and Qi Lie helped him catch fish last time. Seeing that the Ninth Prince used earthworms as bait, Jiang Ling took a big step back: "Do I have to use this?"
"What?" The Ninth Prince hung the bait on the hook and threw it into the water.
"You mean earthworms, I asked the palace people to dig them up to catch more fish." Seeing that Jiang Ling's expression was wrong, the Ninth Prince put down the fishing rod, "Are you afraid of earthworms?"
"I'm not afraid." Jiang Ling retorted subconsciously, but he really didn't want to meet earthworms.
"Okay, don't be afraid, I'll hang it for you," the Ninth Prince came over and skillfully baited the hook, "Where do you want to fish?"
Jiang Ling looked around and pointed to a place not too far from where the Ninth Prince was fishing.
"I'll get you the fishing rod."
The Ninth Prince walked over there with a fishing rod, and Jiang Ling followed behind with a small stool in his arms.
After finding the shade of the tree, the Ninth Prince asked, "Is it okay here?"
"can."
Xu was lucky when he was fishing for the first time. It didn't take long for fish to bite the hook.
Xiao Shengyun returned to the small courtyard, did not see Jiang Ling, and asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, the Ninth Prince will come over in the morning and invite the Crown Princess to swim in the lake, and the Crown Princess will go."
Just as Xiao Shengyun was about to enter the house, he turned around and walked out of the yard: "Lead the way."
At this moment, the bucket next to Jiang Ling was almost full, the Ninth Prince dragged the stool over, and said in an admiring tone, "As expected of Brother Jiang, you are so good at fishing."
It took him a long time to catch four or five fish, and Jiang Ling already had more than a dozen.
Jiang Ling focused on the lake and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don't scare the fish away."
"I know," the Ninth Prince lowered his voice, "Brother Jiang, can you teach me how to catch so many fish?"
"Ah?" Jiang Ling's tone was blank, "I don't know, why don't you try the bait here?"
"Let me try."
Facts have proved that Jiang Ling's ability to catch fish has nothing to do with the bait. The Ninth Prince changed Jiang Ling's bait, and the fish he caught were the same as before.
The Ninth Prince had a gloomy expression on his face, and he stopped fishing. He handed over the fishing rod to the palace servants, and dragged a stool to sit beside Jiang Ling himself: "I'd better watch brother Jiang fishing, it's much more interesting than fishing by myself."
Catch one in a while, and one in a while, full of sense of accomplishment.
"His Royal Highness has caught a few of them anyway, and I wonder if he is not naturally liked by fish." Zhan Lezhang's voice sounded from the side.
The place where Zhan Lezhang was fishing was not far from Jiang Ling. The Ninth Prince walked over in three or two steps, glanced at the bucket beside him, it was empty, and was overjoyed: "It's almost an hour, why haven't you caught a single fish?"
"I want to know too." Zhan Lezhang showed a troubled expression on his face.
Just as Jiang Ling was about to speak, the fishing rod sank in her hand.
The fish under the water were too strong, Jiang Ling could hardly hold the fishing rod.
As soon as Xiao Shengyun arrived, he saw Jiang Ling being dragged forward by the fishing rod a few steps. He strode forward and held Jiang Ling's hand from behind.
With the familiar breath approaching, Jiang Ling's not yet tense body relaxed, and Jiang Ling focused on the fishing rod. He had a hunch that the fish he caught this time must be a big fish.
With the joint efforts of the two, the fishing rod was raised high, and the big fish broke out of the water.
"What a big fish!" Jiang Ling exclaimed.
"Your Highness, quickly, pull it up."
Xiao Shengyun exerted force with his arm, and the fish was pulled up and flopped on the grass.
Such a big movement attracted everyone's attention, even though they were afraid of the prince, they couldn't help but gather around to find out.
The Ninth Prince was the first to run over, looking at the big fish thumping happily on the ground, he was amazed: "I come here to fish almost every year, and I have never seen anyone catch such a big fish."
"No wonder I couldn't pull it just now." Jiang Ling looked down at the fish she had caught.
During the struggle of the big fish, a lot of water was splashed, Xiao Shengyun wiped the water drops from Jiang Ling's face: "Ling'er is very powerful."
Jiang Ling raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "In addition to this big one, I also caught a lot, all of which are in the bucket over there, and then I can share a few with my father, queen, and queen. By the way, I also need to share with Zhan Lezhang." Two, he didn't catch either."
"Zhan Lezhang is Ling'er's new friend?" Xiao Shengyun had an impression of this name. As the crown prince, it was impossible for him not to know about such a big event in Dingyuanhou's residence.
Jiang Ling nodded, and wanted to share her discovery with Xiao Chengyun, but there were too many people around, so she had to swallow what she wanted to say.
"Say something with Gu?"
Jiang Ling nodded, and leaned into Xiao Chengyun's ear: "Go back and talk to His Highness."
"Brother Jiang, what are you whispering to the prince?" The ninth prince looked at the big fish for a while, and saw Jiang Ling and the prince muttering together, not caring about the appearance of the big fish at all. Fish, what to do with it?"
The fish on the grass was too big to fit in an ordinary barrel, so the Ninth Prince ordered people to find a big tank to put the fish in. The fish died before they figured out how to deal with it.
"Such a big fish must have a lot of meat, how about roasting it?" Jiang Ling was thinking about grilling the fish, and looked at the big fish with bright eyes. Such a big fish must be enough to eat.
As if sensing Jiang Ling's thoughts, the big fish jumped in a direction away from Jiang Ling.
"It's so big, it's probably not easy to bake." Zhan Lezhang shook his fan, "It's better to bake it in slices, it's more delicious."
"Why do you all want to eat it? Such a big fish might have a spirit," the Ninth Prince scratched his chin, "It's better to raise it for a while."
"It's just an ordinary big fish. It's not easy to keep such a big one. It's better to eat it." Jiang Ling could feel that this fish didn't have spiritual intelligence, it was just an ordinary fish, it just grew a little bigger.
"Ling'er wants to eat, so let's bake it and ask someone to prepare something." Xiao Shengyun said.
"Is it really delicious?"
In the end, the big fish was divided into several parts, some were roasted, some were stewed, and some were sent to Emperor Chongming and the Empress, together with a few other fish caught by Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling gave two to Zhan Lezhang: "You didn't catch any fish, take these two back."
The Ninth Prince watched eagerly from the side: "Brother Jiang, I want it too."
Jiang Ling saw the pitiful six fish in his bucket, they were all very small, the biggest one was no longer than a forearm, so she gave him two big ones: "Give one to Concubine Xian too."
The Ninth Prince was satisfied and put the fish Jiang Ling gave him into his bucket.
Zhan Lezhang's barrel was no longer empty.
It was getting late, Jiang Ling rubbed her stomach, feeling hungry.
Just in time, the big fish was ready, Jiang Ling invited everyone to eat together.
The Ninth Prince sat not far from Jiang Ling, and watched as the cold and stern prince carefully picked out the fishbone for Jiang Ling, and then put the fish into the bowl in front of him. Jiang Ling didn't have to do anything, just put it in the bowl fish to eat.
"Why is no one helping me pick a thorn?" The Ninth Prince called the palace man, "You, come and pick a thorn for me."
The little eunuch who was serving respectfully picked the thorns from the fish for the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince ate a few mouthfuls, and then looked at Jiang Ling, who ate two mouthfuls for herself and one for the prince, but she couldn't do anything, so she waved the little eunuch away: "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Zhan Lezhang was also alone. The Ninth Prince found the organization, moved to Zhan Lezhang's side, and whispered: "I never thought before that the prince and brother would take care of people like this one day."
"It means His Highness and the Crown Princess have a good relationship, doesn't it?" Zhan Lezhang took a sip from his glass.
"My Brother Jiang is really good. Not only is he good at fishing, but he can also turn my incomprehensible prince and brother into soft fingers." The Ninth Prince picked up the wine glass and touched Zhan Lezhang, sighing.
As usual, Emperor Chongming came to eat in the Queen's courtyard, looked at a table full of fish, and raised his eyebrows: "Why is it full of fish today?"
"Xiao Ling caught it, and specially sent it to His Majesty to taste. There is also a very big one." The queen softly told what happened to Jiang Ling's fishing.
"This child has a heart." Emperor Chongming sat down, put a chopstick of fish meat into his mouth, "the meat is delicious but not greasy, not bad."
The big fish that Jiang Ling caught, the Ninth Prince was worried at first that the fish would be old, but after tasting it, he couldn't help but marvel: "This fish is too delicious, the key is that the meat is very tender."
After eating, everyone dispersed, Jiang Ling and Xiao Chengyun walked back to the small courtyard, and the Ninth Prince walked with them to digest food.
"If there is no Brother Jiang today, I will definitely not be able to eat such delicious fish."
Jiang Ling was also very satisfied with eating, the feeling of eating the fish he caught was completely different from what he usually eats, he hooked Xiao Chengyun's palm: "Does your Highness think today's fish is delicious?"
Xiao Shengyun held the hand that was chaotic in the palm of his hand: "It's delicious."
"His Highness wants to eat in the future, so I'll go fishing again." Jiang Ling had a very good experience fishing for the first time.
"What about me, what about me, Brother Jiang, don't forget me." The Ninth Prince leaned forward, his tone urgent.
"I will never forget."
Xiao Shengyun glanced at him coldly, and the Ninth Prince shrank back silently.
The prince at this time is always scary, so it's better not to mess with him.
At the gate of the courtyard, the Ninth Prince separated from them, and Jiang Ling and Xiao Shengyun entered the house.
"Ling'er wanted to say something to Tong Gu just now?"
Jiang Ling remembered, and asked the waiter to leave first, before saying: "Does Your Highness know, I saw the person we met that night."
An expression of discovering a big secret.
"Oh? Who is it?" Xiao Shengyun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You would never have guessed that one of them is Zhan Lezhang. I asked him, and he admitted it directly, and also said that we need to spray insect repellent outside, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable."
Xiao Chengyun rubbed the tender skin on the inner side of Jiang Ling's wrist: "What else?"
"He also said that lotus seeds have other miraculous uses, but I asked, but he didn't say what it is specifically, Your Highness, do you know?" Jiang Ling asked Xiao Shengyun eagerly for knowledge.
Xiao Chengyun rolled his Adam's apple, covering Jiang Ling's eyes: "Ling'er better not know."
"Forget it, I'll peel the lotus seeds for you." After all, it's just a new acquaintance, Zhan Lezhang can't get too deep with him and change the topic.
Zhan Lezhang's hands are beautiful, with slender and fair fingers, a pair of typical literati hands. He peeled lotus seeds very quickly. It didn't take long for the plate in front of them to be filled with green lotus seeds.
