The sky was gradually dyed blood red by the setting sun, and the fiery red clouds were reflected on the lake.
The sky and water meet, as beautiful as poetry and painting.
The painted boats by the lake were divided into two teams, with a space in the middle. The dragon boats covered with flowers in the lake sailed to the shore.
Seeing the dragon boat slowly approaching, Qin Shuihan said to Lin Yi, who was still eating snacks: "Let's go, the dinner is about to begin. If you keep eating, can you still eat it later?"
Lin Yi glared at him, but it seemed like she had eaten too much sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so she quickly drank a cup of tea to feel better! But Xiaozui still refused to give up, "I can eat it without King Han's trouble!"
The two of them chatted without saying a word, walking along the corridor towards the dragon boat. I saw young men and young ladies dressed elegantly and beautifully in groups of twos and threes. They lined up in a row and boarded the ship together.
The sunset gradually sets in the west, the night slowly opens, and the lights on the boat are brightly lit.
Looking from a distance, Lin Yi felt as if she had returned to modern times.
No, such elegant decoration is even more modern!
"Wan'er has met King Han."
There was a sound of Yingying coming from beside the two of them. I saw a woman dressed in purple, with phoenix eyes full of spring, and a hibiscus-like face, bending her knees and bowing.
This person is Ye Wan, the daughter of the Ye family in the north of the city.
What a beauty! It matched all Lin Yi's imagination of classical beauty, and her eyes couldn't help but shine like a deceit.
The woman looked at Qin Shuihan with eyes full of love, her admiration written on her face.
Lin Yixin rolled her eyes, this must be Qin Shuihan's confidante, that is, how could such a handsome King Han be alone.
"Miss Ye, you are well." Qin Shuihan also returned the gift gracefully.
Sure enough, his guess was good. It was rare that Qin Shuihan was not so cold, even his voice was warm. Lin Yi calmly retreated behind him, tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered: "You are so beautiful, King Han, I won't disturb you, go find Cuizhu."
Before Qin Shuihan could say anything, she ran away quickly.
Lin Yi turned around and didn't see the green bamboo. There were many women dressed as maids gathering together to talk and laugh at the flower bed they passed by just now. She chuckled lightly and stopped looking for Cuizhu. This girl is here once in a while, so let her relax, and she can go back home by herself anyway.
Before boarding the dragon boat, Lin Yi quickly went to the garden for a walk. She saw all kinds of chrysanthemums, and even delicate phalaenopsis. It turns out that crabapples are also in full bloom in autumn!
She put her hands behind her back, thought for a moment, and finally sighed. After two rounds of shopping, I didn't see any exotic flowers or herbs worthy of medicinal use.
The only conclusion is that the flowers are really beautiful.
While Lin Yi was wandering around the garden, a stormy sea broke out around Qin Shuihan.
"His Royal Highness King Han!!"
Qin Shuihan frowned, it was the sound of killing a pig again.
Seeing a woman standing in front of Qin Shuihan, Mo Yuyan rushed between the two of them.
Ye Wan didn't even realize what happened, she only felt a sharp pain from being hit on her shoulder.
Qin Shuihan frowned. This yellow dress was simply a blasphemy against yellow cotton damask. In his heart, only Lin Yi was worthy of this color.
Ye Wan rubbed her shoulders and looked at Mo Yuyan in bewilderment. This was the first time she met someone who collided with her like this. It's a pity that her brother didn't come. She didn't know which family this girl was from, but she was so ignorant.
"King Han, who is this sister?" She stared at Qin Shuihan with aggrieved face.
Mo Yuyan turned her head proudly and was stunned when she looked at Ye Wan's face. It was so beautiful, as delicate as a ceramic doll. She was unwilling to give up, even if she was beautiful, so what, such a mature temperament must be older than her, why did she call her sister?
"You are so rude. I am my younger sister. I can tell you are older than me!"
Ye Wan was completely speechless. She looked at Mo Yuyan in horror. Could she be older than this woman? !
"Miss Mo, this is Miss Ye from the north of the city. You are so reckless, can you bear the responsibility for hurting her?" Qin Shui coldly stared at her. If he is so rude, it is really necessary to remind Captain Mo to discipline him. daughter!
Mo Yuyan stared at Ye Wan with her mouth wide open, "You...are you Miss Ye?"
Qin Yi, who was not far away, stared at Mo Yuyan like a fool. When he saw Fifth Brother's razor-sharp eyes, he sighed and hurried to the rescue.
"Didn't Fifth Brother just introduce me?"
"I--"
"Why don't you apologize to Miss Ye quickly?" Qin Yi couldn't help but increase his tone.
"I've met King Yi, Wan'er is fine." Ye Wan rubbed her shoulders and smiled.
Qin Shuihan snorted, and then glanced at Qin Yi expressionlessly.
Needless to say, I will definitely let myself clean up the stall again! Qin Yi smiled bitterly and looked at the back of the fifth brother who turned around and stepped onto the dragon boat. He thought to himself why he was so miserable, wiping his butt every day! However, he knew that Ye Wan loved the fifth brother, but it was a pity that the fifth brother had no intention of her. Although he felt it was a pity, after all, Ye Wan was also a famous beauty in the capital, and her brother was a rare young hero.
Qin Yi glanced at Mo Yuyan, whose face was full of flesh, and thought that this guy should not join in the fun. Although he didn't like to comment on a woman's makeup, this dress was really not suitable for her body type. He couldn't help but sigh, self-knowledge is a good thing, but it's a pity that not everyone has it.
Suddenly, he suddenly realized that the fifth brother's crush was Miss Lin Er, who was also dressed in yellow. Qin Yi shook his head with pity. The two women in front of him had no chance.
Mo Yuyan glared at Ye Wan, but she knew she was no match for Miss Ye's family, so she could only watch Ye Wan get on the dragon boat.
Ye Wan, who was left aside by Qin Shuihan, was also very depressed. It was rare for him to get close to King Han, but he was destroyed by this woman. After getting on the dragon boat, she found a female seat closest to Qin Shuihan and sat down.
Finally, Lin Yi also stepped onto the dragon boat, and saw that the seats for men and women were basically separated. She saw Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi at a glance in the crowd. The two were sitting next to each other, really like a pair of inseparable cotton buds. Looking over again, it was true that Lin Xuan'er was sitting in the men's seat, not far from Qin Huan.
Lin Yi lowered her head and curled her mouth. This sister really thought of herself as Princess Huan! When she looked up again, Lin Yi felt as if someone was staring at her. She turned her head and there was indeed a man in gorgeous clothes staring at her.
Their eyes met.
The eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looking at him with his mouth in his mouth.
Such a look made Lin Yi feel a little uncomfortable. She frowned and tried to search her original memory to make sure that she did not recognize the man. Lin Yi avoided his gaze and walked towards the ladies' seat.
Most of the ladies in the ladies' seats had maids standing behind them. Behind the Miss Ye Wan just now, there was also a maid dressed in purple. She was sitting directly opposite Qin Shuihan. It seemed that the two of them really had a good heart. Lin Yi chuckled and was about to gossip about CP. But her maid had gone to herd the sheep, so she found an inconspicuous corner and sat down. Anyway, there would be no shortage of food, so she could feel comfortable hiding in the corner. .
There is a platform in the middle of the men's and women's seats. You can tell at a glance that it is used for performances. The candlesticks on the platform are more densely packed, making the platform bright and clear.
The dinner officially began.
Superintendent Chenxuan cleared his throat, stood in the middle of the main banquet and said loudly: "The evening banquet of the Hundred Flowers Festival has begun, and the artists will perform."
After all, he was the eunuch beside the emperor, with a loud voice and a majestic air.
I saw dozens of artists walking towards the platform, holding different musical instruments in their hands.
Lin Yi was dazzled by the variety of musical instruments, but she didn't recognize the chime, bell, Xiao, Guan, Chi, or Sheng at all, and could only barely distinguish between the pipa and the guzheng.
The artists took their places, the musical instruments sounded, and the sound was huge and quite spectacular.
But for a modern person like Lin Yi, this kind of performance seemed very weird and she couldn't appreciate it at all. The exquisite food on the table in front of me suddenly lost its allure.
Lin Yi lost her appetite and held her cheek in boredom, wondering when it would be over.
At the men's table, Qin Shuihan's eyes drifted past Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally. He looked at her with her chin propped up in boredom, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
She finally couldn't eat anymore!
Qin Huan drank the wine and looked at Lin Yi from time to time, but she never looked at him from beginning to end. Maybe this woman never had herself in her heart. Thinking of the argument in the garden just now, it was undeniable that he lost. I didn't expect Qin Shuihan's attitude to be so tough. How could I compete with him?
At the end of the performance, although the performers retreated, some musical instruments were left on the platform.
A woman in a bright red dance dress gracefully walked to the center of the platform, glanced at the audience with a pair of smart eyes, and said in a childish voice: "I will give you a dance on November 1st."
She gestured to the master who played the music and transformed into a beautiful butterfly dancing.
Lin Yi was fascinated by it, so beautiful!
There were whispers around.
"It's Princess Eleven!"
"Princess Eleven dances so well."
"I won't go up and dance. There's nothing better than a princess..."
"Princess will get her hair next year, but I didn't expect that she would already be so graceful!"
It turned out to be the eleventh princess. Lin Yi searched for the original memory and found that this princess was very favored. She couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Her cute little face had a hint of baby fat that had not faded away, and she always had a cheerful smile. The two dimples were very cute.
This is the princess in ancient times. Is she loved by three thousand people?
Eleven waved his sleeves, sometimes making a ripple, sometimes drawing a perfect circle.
Lin Yi was intoxicated by her enchanting dance and felt that the dance was really good and more to his taste than the previous performance.
When the song ends, let’s stop dancing.
"It's a shame."
Eleven arched his eyebrows and gave a naughty salute.
The audience burst into applause. This dance aroused the atmosphere of the whole place. Then several young ladies came on stage to perform. Lin Yi looked very pleased, and suddenly felt her appetite coming back, and slowly tasted the delicacies in front of her.
She saw the woman in purple also came on stage and played a guzheng.
The sound of the piano stirs the heartstrings.
Ye Wan glanced at Qin Shuihan intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Yi listened with rapt attention. Which family is this young lady from? Called Ye Wan? Why doesn't Qin Shuihan marry her? So many men in the men's seat were staring at this woman eagerly, and Lin Yi was really worried for him. Such a gentle and virtuous woman, if she were a man, she would definitely marry her home immediately.
This unsatisfactory Qin Shuihan!
Lin Yi looked at him with hatred, but she didn't expect that he would also look at her. She pointed provocatively at the center of the stage, really wanting to walk over and tell him that if he didn't take action, he might lose his confidante to someone else! Seeing that Qin Shuihan didn't respond, Lin Yi turned away helplessly and ignored him.
Qin Shuihan opposite was a little confused. What did Lin Yi's gesture mean just now? Is she pointing at Ye Wan? But he and Ye Wan have no romantic feelings at all. Could it be that Lin Yi misunderstood? But that look doesn't look like jealousy!
I don’t understand! A woman's heart aches.
The performance on the dragon boat continues, and everyone is singing and dancing happily.
However, the tranquility of the years was broken by a burst of powerful piano sound.
Lin Yi felt embarrassed for her when she saw the woman in yellow who was in contrast to her playing on the stage as if there was no one around. Why does she also want to play the guzheng? Ye Wan's piano sound just now was so beautiful. Isn't this humiliating herself?
Mo Yuyan was sweating profusely while playing. The guzheng was not her strong point. She was just reluctant to see Ye Wan playing. However, I am indeed not very good at playing the music, so I must practice my piano skills hard after returning home! She turned her head and stared at Qin Shuihan with extremely passionate eyes, only to find that he was frowning and drinking, completely unmoved by the sound of her piano.
Is it because you play too hard?
No, absolutely not!
Although it doesn't play well, it certainly doesn't sound that bad. Everyone knows that King Han is excellent at playing the piano, but he is too good!
Mo Yuyan's fingers added a little more strength. Chen Xuan on the main stage couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly asked the little eunuch next to him to ask the artist on standby to start playing. As long as he could overcome Mo Yuyan's harsh music, Just the sound of music.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yuyan finally ended her performance.
Everyone was relieved.
But in this way, the dinner party ushered in another climax.
The young lady in the audience was eager to try it. No matter how inaccurate the music was, she was still better than the woman in yellow!
Lin Yi yawned. The performance after that was pretty good, but everyone's music style was very similar, and I felt a little tired after listening to it too much.
At this time, Lin Xuan'er also quietly walked to the stage, and she was seen playing a piece of music with her pipa in her arms. The music sounded very pleasant.
Lin Yi felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The ladies of ancient times were always good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It must have taken a lot of effort to be able to play to this level. It's a pity that I don't know anything. As for my hobbies, I only learned to draw a few times. However, I don’t know if the English and Mathematical Olympiad lessons I have taken since childhood count...
Another woman on the stage finished playing, and the audience burst into applause. Finally no one came on stage to perform.
"Miss Lin Er who is sitting in the corner, please give us a performance."
Who is this unquestionable commanding voice?
Lin Yixun said loudly.
"Miss Lin Er has excellent medical skills. She must also be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting." The man continued.
It turned out to be the man who was looking at me just now, but I didn't know him, so why did he name me? Monk Lin Yi Zhang Er couldn't touch his head.
The whole place was silent.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince proposed it, Miss Lin, please do it." Chen Xuan immediately stood up and agreed.
Prince?
Lin Yi became even more confused. At this time, she seemed to have become the focus of the audience. It didn't feel good to be in the spotlight. She was very nervous and stood up mechanically.
"I...I...don't know anything..."
