The night is light.
The palace lanterns were burning, and Shen Meizhuang's heart was silent. Since the emperor did not visit her on the first night, she came from a aristocratic family on her own.
Cunjutang is still far away from Shenning Palace, and it is the lotus pond of the imperial garden on the way. I heard that the emperor and the army are always having fun here during the day.
Shen Meizhuang stopped, and under the light of the lamp, all kinds of fish in the lake gathered together, like chrysanthemums blooming.
"Go get some fish food."
Shen Meizhuang ordered Ying'er.
"Little Master, it's late at night, so go back earlier."
Ying'er boldly persuaded her, the night in the palace was always shabby.
"Go, go get it, this little master will take a look and leave."
Shen Meizhuang urged, she has been watching the fish in the lake.
"... Yes"
Ying'er had no choice but to take the fish food, but she said uneasily:
"Little Master will have to wait here for this servant."
"Hmm."
Shen Meizhuang answered, she obviously wouldn't leave.
Embroidered Rhododendron's golden thread shoes, moved forward a few steps, and watched the fish in the lake carefully.
"Rao Chi leisurely walks to watch the fish swim, just as children get fishing boats." (Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty)
Shen Meizhuang's heart moved, and she read this poem. The poetry of the first sentence was exactly in line with her, but the second sentence made her not know when she would have a child. According to the rules of the palace, princes and daughters could not hook fish boats.
"A kind of love for fish has different hearts. I came to Shi Shier to fish. I wonder if Xiao Wang is right."
The warm voice slowly entered the ear with the breeze.
"You are... the noble Shen shi has seen the king of Guo County."
Shen Meizhuang saluted in surprise.
King Guo stood on a small boat. He visited the Empress Dowager yesterday. The Empress Dowager loved to keep him in the palace for three days. He wanted to go to the emperor to taste tea and discuss chess, but the emperor went to accompany the beauty.
The King of Guo County has always been elegant and romantic, and tonight the moonlight is still good, so he stole out of the palace and went boating on the lake.
"It used to be a noble sister-in-law, and Xiao Wang is polite."
King Guo smiled gently, and his handsome eyes made people feel good.
"How could King Guo be here?"
Shen Meizhuang stepped back, asked awkwardly, and in the middle of the night, he was alone.
"Little Wang just wants to see how beautiful the place where the emperor and the beauty are playing today is."
King Guo's smile deepened and his tone was low.
"How can you see the beauty of the lake in the middle of the night?"
Shen Meizhuang asked back, but she didn't believe that the King of Guo County was looking at the lake. Could the royal nobles have never seen the Imperial Garden?
"Then how does the little sister-in-law see the fish clearly when she is here late at night?"
Interest flashed in the eyes of King Guo.
"I... ya-"
Shen Meizhuang did not answer the exit, his feet slipped, and his body fell forward.
There is a lake ahead.
Suddenly, an embrace caught Shen Meizhuang, but it also made the boat shake a few times.
A warm and powerful man's chest, a faint smell of wine.
Shen Meizhuang broke free from his embrace with low eyebrows and stood on the boat:
"Thank you, King Guo County."
King Guo chuckled:
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome, you don't need to say thank you for your efforts."
With a gentle and magnetic voice, Shen Meizhuang's face was crimson and his ears were hot:
"Your Highness, can you let me ashore?"
King Guo, the prince, has a very close tone.
"Of course."
King Guo nodded, supported Shen Meizhuang and let her go ashore.
"Your Highness, it's not too late. It's time for the concubines to return to the palace. Thank you for today, Your Highness."
Shen Meizhuang saluted goodbye, she really didn't dare to think what would happen if she really fell into the lake.
"Sister-in-law is polite, then this king will continue to swim in the lake."
King Guo, who was alienated and close, wanted to paddle towards the center of the lake.
"Your Highness, even if it's a lake tour, it's better to drink less."
Shen Meizhuang kindly reminded her that she was really afraid that when she got up the next day, she would hear the news that the King of Guo County had drowned in the lake.
"Thank you, little sister-in-law, Xiao Wang just took a sip, don't worry."
King Guo was stunned for a moment, turned to thank him, and rowed his boat away towards the center of the lake.
Bad interest, Shen Meizhuang turned his head to leave, just met with the fish food back to the cherry, master and servant two people together back to the chrysanthemum.
