C314 (1/2)

While they were talking, they had arrived at the lakeside.

This lake was called Immortal Lady Lake. Legend has it that many years ago, there was a fairy who bathed here. Later on, the local Elementary Scholars saw it and stole their clothes, making it impossible for them to return to the sky. Thus, one of the youngest fairies offered to marry the Elementary Scholar, and the other fairies were allowed to return to the sky.

The youngest fairy and Elementary Scholars then gave birth to children and spread the story of farming, forestry, and animal husbandry. After their deaths, the place turned into a lake.

Those who knew the story named it the Celestial Maiden Lake. It was used to commemorate the achievement that the little fairy who stayed behind had made in the mortal world.

Later on, it seemed as if spiritual and immortal energy were truly here, and it became increasingly beautiful.

Zhong Ling yuxiu.

Following which, someone built an exquisite house around the Celestial Lake.

Later on, it slowly developed into its current state.

Arriving at the surface of the lake, they saw that the lake was clear and jade-green, with a clear bottom. They could see the rainbow-colored raindrops and the long grass swaying in the water.

What a lively scene.

”So beautiful.” Sun Jinzi had seen many beautiful scenery, but she had never seen such a natural beauty.

All the scenes were naturally formed, and there were no signs of manmade construction at all.

The embankment was high, and it was shaded by the weeping willows. At this moment, it was the right time to release the sprout.

The long branches struck the boat they had left on the shore.

”General, the boat is ready.”

Liu Jialin suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship. Although his body was facing Jin Chupei, his eyes were already looking at the black boat in the lake.

There was a hint of bashfulness on his dark red face, and he looked like a big boy.

”What happened to you?” Sun Jinzi had fought alongside him on the battlefield before, so it could be said that she was very familiar with him.

This time, Liu Jialin was also a meritorious general and went back to the capital to receive his rewards.

He was only twenty and seventy this year, and although he looked old, he could not be considered old. What was even rarer was that although he was in the military camp, he did not have any of the army's bad habits.

During the days when Sun Jinzi was in the wheat city, after the army had won the war, the main general would pay for some money and call some prostitutes from the brothel to help them with their work. However, as a deputy general, although he could have picked better women, he had never been moved.

Sun Jinzi was actually also curious, but it was just that not only were there differences in gender between the two of them, there was also a difference in gender.

Even if she asked this question, she was afraid that he wouldn't have anything to say.

On the contrary, it caused everyone to feel awkward when interacting with each other.

In the end, she didn't ask about anything at all, so they were at peace.

Only, Sun Jinzi was not surprised to see him on the boat by the lake.

”Oh wow, Esteemed wangfei, end is just shaking the boat for you two, because Your Highness hates the boatman for being so clumsy and unsteady. Before end joined the army, he was a ferryman.

After Liu Jialin finished speaking, he went to the bow of the ship on his own accord. After the two of them had settled down, he started rowing the boat.

The boat slowly made its way to the lake, and Liu Jialin's words were indeed true.

Sun Jinzi raised her eyes to look at the other boats in the lake, only to see them either on the verge of collapse or being hit by the waves of the lake, swaying them in three directions.

However, Liu Jialin's boat was incomparably stable. If Sun Jinzi had not looked towards the center of the lake, she would not have realized that she was actually sitting on the boat.

She couldn't help but praise him.

However, Jin Chupei was unsettled as he stared at the black caravan in the middle of the ship, nodding his head at Liu Jialin from time to time.

When Sun Jinzi occasionally found out, she didn't hide it from her.

”Look, that seems to be Qin Family's boat.”

The only Qin Family that was worth Jin Chupei mentioning was naturally the Qin Wanrou family that had a good relationship with Sun Jinzi.

Thinking about her, Sun Jinzi inexplicably panicked.

Although she had always known that Qin Wanrou did not covet her husband, she still felt sad that the Emperor Jin Chuyi had purposely arranged for them to make this arrangement to make them feel disgusted with each other.

Even after being friends with Qin Wanrou for such a long time, she still could not help but feel sour inside.

”You started paying attention so early in the morning?” Although they knew that Jin Chupei might not fall for them and they might not actually get married, they still...

She was just sad.

Especially when she thought about how it was because she had listened to Jin Chupei that she had come out to play today and come out to swim in the lake.

He never thought that the reason he brought himself to the boat was to see Qin Wanrou.

”What are you thinking?” Sun Jinzi's face darkened.

”Their ship is about to capsize.”

Jin Chupei's heart stopped, he could not tell if he was happy or sad.

If she was happy, then it meant that Sun Jinzi cared about him. That was why she was jealous, and why she didn't like him getting close to his nominal lateral consort that was bestowed by the Emperor.

Sadly, she didn't believe him.

They had clearly experienced so much pain, so many unbearable things, and so many difficulties. They had both forcefully endured it.

Originally, he thought that the relationship between the two of them was already indestructible, but she didn't expect that Sun Jinzi never seemed to have any sort of great confidence in herself, and basically didn't trust him much either.

”You … What do you think? ” Sun Jinzi also saw the boat shaking on Qin Wanrou's side.

Just a moment ago, she was trembling lightly, but now, she was shaking violently.

Although they were far away, they could feel that the ship was already teetering on the verge of collapse. It was only a matter of time before it would fall apart.

She had only just turned over the sea of vinegar, yet, she had already discovered the dangerous situation she was in. She couldn't help but stare at Jin Chupei with her phoenix eyes.

It couldn't be that he didn't want to marry her, so he decided to silence her.
