Chapter 534 Meeting in the Heart of the Lake
The guests at the banquet all knew the prime minister's wife and her daughter Yuan Lan, but it was the first time they saw Lu Yunqian's new face, and Lu Yunqian had another troublesome face, so everyone's All eyes fell on Lu Yunqian, scrutinizing, envious, and jealous, but Lu Yunqian remained calm, as if he didn't see everyone's eyes.
Seeing the situation, Mrs. Wang introduced with a smile, "This is the prime minister's youngest daughter, Yuan Xin."
This was very ingenious, she was Prime Minister Yuan's daughter, but not Mrs. Wang's daughter, she just wanted to tell everyone that Lu Yunqian was the prime minister's concubine.
After hearing that Lu Yunqian was a concubine, many people at the banquet looked at her differently. It was only a matter of one sentence from amazement to contempt. Putting her gaze into her eyes, she smiled more gracefully and calmly, that dazzling smile was enough to compete with the sun and the moon.
Yuan Lan didn't find the shame and embarrassment she wanted to see on Lu Yunqian's face. Instead, she saw Lu Yunqian smiling so much that her eyes were blinded, she immediately bit her lower lip tightly in anger.
After being seated, Lu Yunqian sat at the table with Mrs. Wang Yuan Lan. Since they were members of Prime Minister Yuan's family, their table was very close to the main table.
Lu Yunqian sat in her seat bored, Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan both went to greet their familiar female relatives, this was the first time for Lu Yunqian to attend such a gathering, and she usually met with the daughters in the capital The ladies don't have much friendship, so naturally they don't have these social contacts.
Just like this, Lu Yunqian seemed a little different. Lu Yunqian herself had nothing to do with it. She quite liked the fact that no human relationship disturbed her in such a lively scene, but in the eyes of others, it was Lu Yunqian didn't fit in and was not liked by others, that's why she sat there alone.
"Host, Prince Jing is coming soon." System 1203, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reminded Lu Yunqian.
Lu Yunqian immediately woke up from that empty state. Prince Jing is coming, so should she avoid it?Now that he has decided not to give Prince Jing any hope, it is really best not to even meet him.
"Which direction is he coming from?" Lu Yunqian asked, standing up from the chair. She saw that the guests around her were talking about their own things, and no one noticed her, so she turned to the system 1203 Walked in the opposite direction of the pointed direction.
"Host, don't you think you're a little too cowardly?" System 1203 saw Lu Yunqian hurriedly fled in the direction of the rockery in the garden with her skirt in hand, couldn't help mocking her.
"If you're cowardly, you can't afford to be offended, can't you hide?" Lu Yunqian said with a matter of course.
"But the host ran away like this. If King Jing couldn't see you, he might blame Mrs. Wang for not bringing you here. If Prince Jing got stubborn, he might search every inch to find you." System 1203 Lu Yunqian was reminded with some worry.
However, Lu Yunqian didn't take it seriously at all. She even said frankly, "What's wrong with Prince Jing blaming Mrs. Wang? Quan should avenge my mother and me. It's impossible for a prime minister's concubine to make jokes regardless of the nurse's birthday."
Lu Yunqian walked all the way to the gazebo in the middle of the lake behind the rockery in the garden. Only then did system 1203 tell her that Prince Jing was no longer within the detection range. Lu Yunqian was relieved.
It's just that in the early summer, wearing a complicated dress and eagerly walking for such a long distance, Lu Yunqian's body was soaked in sweat. Of course, it was her feet that made her feel the most uncomfortable.
The gazebo is located in the center of the lake, surrounded by lake lotus. Some lotus flowers are already in full bloom, and the air is filled with a quiet fragrance. How comfortable.
Lu Yunqian saw that the lake pavilion was far away from the crowd, and there were no people around, so she gritted her teeth, took off her shoes and socks, sat on the edge of the pavilion, and immersed her feet in the lake water. The lake water in early summer was neither too cold nor too hot. Yes, it just relieved the fatigue of Lu Yunqian's footsteps, and she felt very comfortable.
Far away from the turbulent crowd, without any false greetings, sitting alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, with his feet splashing in the water, this was the most relaxed and happy moment for Lu Yunqian since he crossed over to the original owner, Yuan Xin.
"Little lotus has just shown its sharp horns, and dragonflies have already stood on it."
Just when Lu Yunqian was enjoying the rare moment of relaxation with all her heart, she suddenly heard this poem from the lotus bushes, the voice was warm and refreshing.
At first Lu Yunqian thought she was hallucinating, so she concentrated her attention, and heard another sentence: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are red."
Following this line of the poem, a flat boat with leaves swam out from among the lotus bushes, and on the boat was a young man in white with his arms on his head, lying on his back, as if he was sunbathing.
"Who are you?" Lu Yunqian asked in surprise, she even forgot that her feet were still soaking in the lake water.
The young man seemed to have discovered Lu Yunqian after hearing the voice. He turned his head to look at Lu Yunqian on the boat, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then his gaze moved down to Lu Yunqian's stained glass. On the bare feet covered with water drops, the slender and fair feet felt unreal with scattered water drops, so that he couldn't help but stare straight at his eyes.
Lu Yunqian looked into the boy's eyes, and then realized that this is the feudal era, and women are not allowed to show any other parts of their bodies except their faces, and it is naturally not allowed to show their feet.
So Lu Yunqian immediately hid her feet under the long skirt in a panic, and then pretended to be frivolous, and said angrily: "Don't look at evil, why don't you turn around quickly? "
The boy in white smiled awkwardly as if he had just woken up from a dream, and turned around as Lu Yunqian said.
Lu Yunqian saw that although this person disturbed her cleanliness, she was not too rude after all. She was relieved and put on her shoes and socks as quickly as possible. Then she stood up, and she took a look. The slender back of the white-clothed man didn't want to get involved with him too much, so before he turned his head, he immediately walked towards the outside of the pavilion.
The young man hadn't heard the voice of the person behind him for a long time. He hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to turn around, but where was Lu Yunqian's figure?
If there were no water marks on the edge of the pavilion where Lu Yunqian sat just now, the boy in white would have wondered if he was dreaming.He docked the boat on the shore, entered the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and saw a swaying figure fading away from a distance. He subconsciously wanted to catch up, but felt that this move might be too embarrassing for her , so I gave up.
