Ouyang Shaochen glanced at her, saying grumpily, “Their boat is full…”
“Ah? Then where are we going?” asked Murong Xue, confused, which made Ouyang Shaochen simmering with rage. He then dragged her onto a pleasure boat.
The floor of the boat used rosewood, as smooth as a mirror, which could nearly reflect one’s shadow, the sandalwood boat columns were carved with lifelike phoenix, two beautiful octagonal palace lanterns hanging above, rosewood inlaid printing glass partition looking extremely luxurious, and delicate carving. Absolutely stunning!
“This is…the pleasure boat of Lord Freedom Mansion?!” said Murong Xue with her eyes wide open! She had seen a lot of exquisite and luxurious pleasure boats before, but none of them could compare with this one!
Ouyang Shaochen responded with an ‘hm’ and then paced before the rosewood table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. With the light aroma flying to the high platform, all people’s eyes shone when they smelled it: superior tea!
It was all jealousy in Murong Xue’s eyes.
Now Song Qingyan was glaring at Murong Xue, with fire nearly flaming under her eyes: She thought she could humiliate her by driving her away from the high platform. But now she went on the pleasure boat of Lord Freedom Mansion together with Prince Ouyang!
Their pleasure boat was close to the high platform but had a broader view, plus no irrelevant people hindering their vision. So they could see clearer there. They could also drink some tea, eat some snacks and zongzi, much more comfortable than on the high platform! How could that bitch be so lucky! She was so so pissed off!
Du Yi now squinted his eyes, thinking, “Ouyang Shaochen seldom shows up before the public. Even those officials rarely see him. How could Murong Xue who has seldom stepped out of her boudoir be so well acquainted with him…”
Du Yi was sizing Murong Xue up with all question marks in his head.
Murong Xue just ignored them. She took a zongzi, slowly stripped it off, exposing the white sticky rice and red dates. Its exquisite fragrance made one drool. Only with one bite, the sweet taste would suffuse the whole mouth instantly…
She then said with her eyes shining, “Mm, pretty good. Much tastier than those of our mansion.”
“Then eat more if you like!” said Ouyang Shaochen blandly while pushing the whole plate of zongzi on the table before her.
“Thank you!” said Murong Xue smilingly. Lord Freedom Mansion used the best ingredients for their zongzi, of course they would be extra delicious…
Suddenly Gou Feng appeared on the pleasure boat, “My prince, Su Dishi is here.”
“Oh?” Ouyang Shaochen made a pause of his hand which was stretching out to pick up his tea, with his eyelid down, thinking, “Su Dishi has been ill in bed. How could he get off bed and come to watch the dragon boat race?”
“I’ll go see him. Be right back!” said Ouyang Shaochen softly while getting up.
Su Dishi had ever been his tutor for a few years. Since he was here, of course he should go pay him a visit.
“OK!” Murong Xue nodded, watching Ouyang Shaochen walk down the deck, until he walked out of her sight.
Ancient people respect their teachers and honor truth. Su Dishi had ever been Ouyang Shaochen’s tutor, of course Ouyang Shaochen should pay him a visit. But Murong Xue felt something not right, so she secretly followed him behind…
