C392 (1/2)
She quickly walked from the other side of the cabin to the rear of the cabin. Biting down on her teeth, she lifted her steel-like dagger and fiercely stabbed it into the deck, then forcefully pulled it out, causing a small hole to appear in the back of the boat. Some of the water squeezed in with it, and she did not stop for a moment, but quickly and repeatedly poked it with all her might, causing five or six small holes to appear in the back of the cabin.
Just as she finished doing all this, she heard the Emperor's voice talking to the boatman. Lian Yue turned her head to look at the holes. Water was slowly flowing in, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
Then, with a calm and tranquil expression, she walked into the cabin as if nothing had happened. She pulled up the curtains and looked at Yi Yi, who was sitting on the shore, with a faint smile on her face.
At this moment, Emperor Zhou Cheng walked over. She pretended to inadvertently look up and was surprised to see the Emperor. Then, she got up, bent her knees, and bowed as she said, ”This subject pays her respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor.”
She was wearing a snow-white fox fur cape, a hanging bun, and two golden sparrow pearls. On both sides, there were two long ribbons floating in the air. Her slim body was leaning against the side of the boat.
A look of satisfaction appeared on Zhou Cheng Emperor's face. A hint of male admiration flashed past his eyes as he said, ”This Emperor has just finished approving the imperial reports and is here to relax for a moment.”
”It is the fortune of the imperial government and the common people for the emperor to toil for the country.” Like the moon, Lian Lianyue maintained the proper distance.
”Hahaha.” Zhou Cheng Di laughed loudly and said, ”I've heard rumors that you lead the guards to save my brother. You have the demeanor of a woman.”
”Thank you for your praise, your majesty.” Lian Ruyue nodded and said.
Zhou Cheng Emperor sat in front of Lian Ruoyue. His entire body was emitting an imposing aura unique to any emperor. The bright yellow dragon robe made him look even more spirited.
The princes and royal daughters of Emperor Zhou were all handsome and elegant. They were all beautiful, and his appearance was also naturally top-notch. As time passed, his bearing became more and more charming.
As expected, the boat had quietly left the shore and was swimming towards the center of the lake. Lian Yueyue's hand was quietly holding the cushion of the seat beneath her.
Meanwhile, the palace guards, Feng De Gui, and the other eunuchs and maids stood by the shore and waited together. Lian Shufei and Feng Yu Yao stood in a certain pavilion in the imperial garden while Imperial Concubine Su looked at the boat in the middle of the lake and said:
”The emperor should be very happy. I was the one who told the boatman to take the boat to the center. Your cousin will have nowhere to run to.”
”Mufei, if we do this, Cousin Yue'er will be angry. After all, we lied to her.” Feng Tang Yao asked worriedly.
What kind of women do you have by your father's side that you don't have? I'm afraid that once the heat passes and he doesn't like her, then it would be better for him to strike the iron while it's hot. Since he's too young, he might as well enter the palace to properly serve her. Imperial Concubine Su said after thinking for a while.
Feng Tang Yao nodded, ”What mufei said is not without reason. I hope everything goes smoothly.”
”Feng Defei has six princes, while Xu Xian has eight princes and a good imperial concubine has nine princes. As long as I, Consort Su, don't have a son, we cannot compete for power and power. Although you are favored by your royal father, you are still a girl's family, so we can only constantly think of ways to keep your royal father's heart, and our life in the palace will be better. Otherwise, look at Mu Yuesheng. Her current life is no different from being forced into a cold palace. The reason I stayed in the harem for thirteen years is because I knew how to live in peace, how to please the Emperor at all times, and let him think that we knew what he wanted, mother and daughter. ” Imperial Concubine Fu sighed with emotion.
When Feng Yu heard Imperial Concubine Su's words, a sense of crisis welled up in her heart. ”Imperial Concubine, I understand now. I will never be like you, Yue'er.”
Your Cousin Yue'er said that she was willing to listen to my and her father's arrangements. Even if she was a little angry because we tricked her, it was still a good thing for her to think about it. To be favored by the Emperor in time, she wouldn't blame us. ” Imperial Concubine Su said affirmatively.
”Then let's wait here and see what happens!” Feng Tang Yao said.
”You guys go over there and guard it. No one is allowed to come over!” Imperial Concubine Fu ordered the ten or so guards outside the pavilion.
”Yes, Empress.” Several of them brought the guards to guard the circular arched door.
At this moment, on the boat.
Zhou Chengdi looked at the lovebirds flying across the treetops and said, ”Such beautiful scenery has really made Zhen's poetry flourish. Ru Yue, Zhen's poem, how about you listen to it?”
”This subject's daughter has long heard of the Emperor's attainments in poetry. I was fortunate enough to witness it on the spot today. This subject is truly fortunate.” Lian Ruyue slowly explained.
The water from the stern slowly crept in through the holes made by the dagger. Little by little, quietly, even the expression on Moon's face seemed to look forward to the Emperor's poem, while her heart was secretly calculating how much of the water had come in.
Emperor Zhou Cheng didn't know what Lian Xiyue was thinking at the moment. He looked at the lake surface and saw a bird of love flying across the lake surface, bringing up a spray of water. He blurted out:
