”If you can swim and row a boat, the risk will be much lower. It will be difficult to learn if you can't swim. Water needs to enter your eyes, your nose and ears. If you open your mouth, it will enter your mouth …”
Gao Qianqian's imagination was plentiful as well. She quickly covered her mouth and shook her head, no longer mentioning the matter of swimming.
Just then, a surprised shout came from the lake, ”I found one!”
”I saw it first!”
It attracted the attention of everyone in the pavilion, and then they saw the two boats colliding with each other. The people on the boat all fell into the water, but they didn't care and desperately swam towards the lotus flower.
The two of them were like two fish as they chased each other. It was hard for people to not hold their breath. Finally, one of them touched the stem of the flower first and took out a small knife to cut off the flower. She quickly swam to the shore with both hands in her mouth.
Ru Yi smiled at Feng Lin and said, ”Tell Qin Yan to change her clothes before coming back.”
Then, he nodded in satisfaction and said to Gao Rui, ”Not bad, bring these little ones to the Eastern Palace to pay respects to the Grand Preceptor's daughter, and also to bring your daughters and sisters home. We old guys still have to talk for a while.”
Li Qing listened to the eunuch in front of him, then led the son of the Cheng Guogong to the East Palace. He had signalled with his eyes for the eunuch to go and tell the rest.
Qin Yan personally brought the flowers to the pavilion, while Gao Qianqian looked at her in admiration. Fortunately, she didn't say anything this time.
Ru Yi took it and passed it to Gao Qianqian. ”Give this flower to our youngest sister.”
Gao Qianqian beamed as she accepted the gift. After some hesitation, she said, ”Thank you, your highness. You should've given it to your sisters first.” Although he said that, his hands were tightly clenched.
”Today you are all lonely guests, everyone has one.”
Gao Qianqian was extremely polite as she nodded at Qin Yan, ”Thank you, sister.”
Although Qin Yan followed Master Wu, her etiquette wasn't bad. After seeing the etiquette, she stood to the side.
Not long after, the others also found the lotus flowers and offered them up. The pavilion was filled with young ladies that seemed like flower buds.
Li Rou saw that the Grand Princess was surrounded by people, so she could only signal for Green Bamboo to come out. When it was seen by Ru Yi, she directly asked, ”Is there something going on with Imperial Father?”
”Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Prince Cheng and Qi Shizi have brought some people to pay their respects.”
Ru Yi stood up and said to the girls, ”Your family members are here to pick you up. Let's go greet them together.”
Whose family's youth did not have the slightest bit of worry in their hearts? In the past, when he heard his father talk about his daughter with half pride and half sorrow, and then look at him with that kind of gaze, Gao Shang's mood had always fluctuated. Until today, when he had met with his majesty, his majesty had clearly expressed that he was not interested in these young masters.
And today, when he saw the girl walking over from afar, his disappointment was clear.
Everyone wants to have the best partner in the world. He cannot be ignored …
Ru Yi's smile was impeccable. She personally supported the Crown Prince, praising Gao Qianqian for her ”brilliant and flawless”. She then told the other girls that she was very happy to see her sisters today, and that she should walk around more in the future. He personally delivered it to the entrance of the Eastern Palace. Only then did Green Bamboo send out gifts from the princess to the noble ladies.
Her maid, seeing that she was so happy, also laughed and said, ”Just now, after Miss entered, there were palace maids and sisters who came over to ask if there was a taboo for me to drink tea, so I said Miss's favorite is the silver needles in Jun Shan.” ”You little girl.” Xu Xin smiled and stared at her, but she didn't get angry. What she drank with the Tai Palace was still the spring of the cave courtyard, and what she drank with the tea in the pavilion was the afternoon immortal.
Anyone would be happy to be valued so highly! Therefore, she could not bring herself to vent her anger on this servant girl.
”Miss, take a look quickly. Who knows, these tea leaves might be the Jun Mountain Silver Needle.”
Xu Xin rolled her eyes, ”Shut up.” The silver needles on the Monarch's mountain were so rare that even the Duke of Guo's Palace could only get two to three catties a year. And it was given to her by the Emperor. Although she liked them, she couldn't bear to drink them.
