Chapter 568 Lotus Leaf Ferry

"It is a herb called Shi Pu Lan, which is mainly used to refresh the mind. The Crown Prince ordered the servant to put it there because the Crown Prince had a bad sleep last night..."

When the blind man said this, Mo Lingwei coughed lightly. The blind man was smart and understood immediately.

He changed his statement: "The Crown Prince did not sleep well last night."

Princess Funing is here. The Crown Prince probably doesn't want the princess to know that in order to accompany the princess today, the Crown Prince did not rest all night last night.

Shen Ningning's confused eyes gradually shifted to the historian lying under the window over there.

"What's wrong with him? Why is it so painful?"

The imperial physician finally stood up at this time and bowed his hands to report: "Replying to the Princess, the historian has an indigestion disease, not because of drinking tea. I just asked the master, he ate too much for breakfast."

The historian had already sat up with a red face, feeling extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

He was a person who loved food very much in private, and he was also greedy, so he had a round figure.

Otherwise, when the tea was still hot, everyone would be talking and chatting, and he was the only one who was in a hurry to drink two sips.

Before the court this morning, he ate too much. When he was carried over by the sedan chair, he felt a little uncomfortable. Just now, he was frightened by Shen Ningning, and he suddenly felt abdominal pain and thought he was really poisoned.

Now that the matter was explained clearly, Shen Ningning was even more embarrassed.

She just barged in without thinking and made a big mistake.

Now think about it, the two little sparrows must have misunderstood.

They saw the blind man put medicine in Mo Lingwei's tea alone, so they thought it was poisoning.

These gossiping birds!

Shen Ningning raised her head and rolled up her skirt sleeves awkwardly. Her beautiful face was full of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion of government affairs. I'll go back first."

But Mo Lingwei grabbed her wrist, and the joy in his thin eyes under his sword eyebrows was about to overflow.

Shen Ningning still cares about him, so her ruthlessness is really just pretending.

She really has a place for him in her heart.

For the first time, Mo Lingwei spoke to the ministers in a friendly manner.

"You were also frightened just now, and we have almost finished talking about our business. In this case, you can go back."

The ministers bowed and left one by one.

After they all left, Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's wrist. She wanted to break free, but after thinking about it, she felt that the joke she had just made was really embarrassing for Mo Lingwei.

After all, in front of so many ministers.

So, Shen Ningning let him pull her, and the two of them went down the white jade steps together and walked on the palace road with warm sunlight.

The red walls and golden tiles, the smell of early summer in the wind.

Shen Ningning kept her head down, as if she was a little ashamed, and her small and round earlobes were always red.

Mo Lingwei glanced at her and couldn't help but chuckled.

Shen Ningning suddenly felt like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, a little embarrassed.

"Don't laugh! I didn't know it was a misunderstanding."

"Where did you get the news?" Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows, very curious.

Shen Ningning curled her lips: "When I went for a walk in the garden, I heard the sparrows on the branches say it."

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows, feeling interesting.

It seems that as long as Shen Ningning wants, this palace can be full of her "spies" at any time.

Although she said such cruel words to him, she still came when she heard that someone wanted to harm him.

Mo Lingwei thought of this and stopped.

"Shen Ningning," the wind blew, his golden crown shone, his handsome face and upright body fell into Shen Ningning's eyes, while the girl looked up at him, Mo Lingwei said: "I was wrong to kiss you last time."

Shen Ningning's cheeks "tick" red, and her dark eyes revealed a bit of complaint.

She turned aside: "Don't mention this again, otherwise I will never talk to you again."

Mo Lingwei smiled: "Okay, don't mention it. I just think that I was impulsive before. In fact, after thinking about it carefully, you can't blame you for choosing Lu Shaoyuan, but myself."

Shen Ningning raised her slender eyelashes and looked at him in confusion.

Mo Lingwei: "Blame me for always hesitating. I want to wait for you to grow up a little bit, so I haven't expressed my feelings for a long time, letting Lu Shaoyuan get ahead."

Shen Ningning was silent, she lowered her head: "It has nothing to do with Lu Shaoyuan."

Hearing the protection in her tone, Mo Lingwei was jealous, but he could bear it.

He didn't want to scare Shen Ningning away again.

"I want to tell you that I won't give up until you and Lu Shaoyuan are engaged. Shen Ningning, I think I like you, and I like you very much."

The girl raised her head, and in the interlaced shadows of flowers, she saw the burning seriousness in Mo Lingwei's eyes.

Such sincerity is enough to move any woman in the world.

But if the emperor hadn't said that, Shen Ningning would probably cry with joy.

However...

Mo Lingwei saw that Shen Ningning lowered her head, and her face became even more gloomy.

"I don't want to say hurtful words anymore. We will continue to call you brother as before."

Hearing this, Mo Lingwei's face froze.

Shen Ningning seemed to always have something on her mind, unwilling to look up at him, unwilling to accept his feelings.

Does she really like Lu Shaoyuan that much?

After a while, Mo Lingwei's calm voice came from above his head.

"Okay, then take your time."

As long as she doesn't resist him getting close, he is not completely without a chance.

The two walked side by side in the red-walled palace road warmed by the sunlight. Shen Ningning took the initiative to ask: "Brother, is it time to go to the Zhaori Tower to pray for the emperor uncle?"

Mo Lingwei shook his head: "I'll take you to a place first, you might like it."

She followed him, and soon came to the Qinxin Lake, and saw a small boat docked on the shore.

"It's almost early summer. There is a lotus in the lake, green and dripping. You've been in a bad mood recently, and it's also my fault, so I'll take you to the lake for a boat ride to relax."

Mo Lingwei said, got on the boat, and reached out to pull Shen Ningning.

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still put her slender hand into his palm.

The person in charge of the boat was Wu Fang. He held the pole and shouted: "Your Highnesses, sit tight!"

Shen Ningning sat opposite Mo Lingwei, looking at the table of cakes and tea that he had prepared in advance.

The water breeze rippled, and the lotus fragrance came. The bright sun fell on the water, turning into a sparkling light like a fine diamond.

Shen Ningning's mood gradually brightened.

After a while, the boat approached the lotus leaves in the center of the lake. Shen Ningning had already walked to the bow. She lay down and stretched out her jade-white hands to grab a big lotus leaf.

Mo Lingwei also squatted down: "I'll do it, be careful not to fall into the water."

Wu Fang deliberately retracted the oars and let the boat drift freely in the lotus leaves.

Shen Ningning held the lotus leaf picked by Mo Lingwei and covered her head like an umbrella to block the scorching sun.

Both of them were warm all over. Mo Lingwei half-closed his eyes, obviously a little sleepy.

Shen Ningning lay down to play in the water, and he simply lay beside her. As the boat swayed, the sweetheart beside him smelled a fragrant breath, and Mo Lingwei's heart became particularly calm.

"Brother, look, there are so many small fish under the lotus leaves!" Shen Ningning said excitedly, but did not get a response from Mo Lingwei.

She turned her head and saw that Mo Lingwei had fallen asleep without realizing it.

Under his sharp eyebrows, his eyes were closed, and his straight nose cast a silhouette on his face.

Shen Ningning was startled.

Remembering what the blind eunuch said, he didn't sleep well last night, and got up early in the morning to attend court and handle government affairs, so he must be very busy.

The sun was too hot, Shen Ningning quietly raised the lotus leaf and blocked it over his head.

So that he could sleep more comfortably.

Then, the girl carefully lay down beside him, and also hid half of her beautiful little face under the green and wide lotus leaf.

The water waves rose and fell slowly, and the two of them got along quietly and beautifully, and even Wu Fang at the stern did not dare to disturb them.

When the emperor and his men passed by the shore, he saw from a distance, but his expression became a little complicated.

My dears, today is New Year's Eve, and after New Year's Eve it is New Year. Good luck in the Year of the Dragon! Leave your New Year's wishes here!
