On her side, she was left alone in the same place, and everyone on the Qingsong boat saw it clearly, and one of the young men in blue said angrily: "How can you bully a delicate little girl like this, these girls are too much! "It's the young master of Lord Zongbing's mansion.

On the other side, another son echoed: "That's true, it's too extreme. If there is no precedent, I really want to teach her to sit next to me."

However, it is not the only one who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade. Before Jiang Ruan decided where to sit on the Linglong boat, she heard a familiar voice calling her: "Jiang Ruan, come here." Turning around, it was Lin Zixiang.

Jiang Ruan walked towards her and sat down beside her. Lin Zixiang looked her over carefully, then nodded and said, "It's much prettier than your sister, and this red is more pleasing to the eye than that fake white."

Jiang Ruan was speechless, Lin Zixiang pulled her hand again, and said to everyone sitting at the table: "This is Miss Jiang from Jiang Shangshu's residence, Jiang Ruan, Jiang Susu's sister."

Most of the boats were a small group, and the acquaintances of the nobles sat at the same table. Although Lin Zixiang was isolated like her in Shen Shilang's mansion, in Miss Jingzhong's circle, Lin Zixiang also had her own friends. Lin Zixiang also introduced to her: "This is Ms. Dong from the governor's mansion in the capital, Ms. Xu from the head of the Imperial Academy, Ms. Wen from the mansion of Xiaoqi Shenling, and Miss Zhao, the youngest daughter of envoy Yunhui."

Dong Ying'er is the daughter of the governor's family. She has a delicate and lovely round face. When she saw this, she said to her generously: "So you are Jiang Ruan. I was so stupid when I saw you just now, and I realized that there are such beautiful girls in the world. .”

Her words were innocent and frank, without deliberate flattery. Hearing her words, people liked her. Both Wen Feifei and Zhao Jin were born in the military officer's family, and their behavior also showed a bit of pride. Zhao Jin smiled and said, "If I were a man, I'm afraid I'll go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."

"That's right," Wen Feifei said: "It's already like this color now, and in a few years, all the young ladies in Beijing may be ashamed to go out."

Jiang Ruan also smiled: "The sisters are deliberately embarrassing me. Today, I also opened my eyes. There is such a girl in Beijing who is first-class in temperament and appearance, especially in temperament. If I am a man, I must do it." A heartless man, marry all the older sisters back and hide them."

The people at the table laughed again, and it was fun. Lin Zixiang looked at Xu Ruoxi who was on the side: "Why are you absent-minded?"

Xu Ruoxi is the daughter-in-law of the head of the Hanlin Academy, and she is usually a noble and arrogant person. When she heard the words, she was about to speak when she heard a drawn-out voice from outside: "King Jinying has arrived—the eighth prince has arrived—"

Xu Ruoxi's eyes suddenly brightened, and her face turned red. Jiang Ruan's body froze, and she tried her best to stabilize her mind so as not to accidentally pour out the tea in her hand.

She followed everyone's gaze towards the shore, only to see a man dressed in white coming towards him. The man was gentle and elegant, as handsome as in the last life, walking towards Qingsongfang step by step with a smile on his face. The river water is sparkling, reflecting the crowd's mingling of wine and wine. It's been a long time to see old friends again on this lively night.

The chatting and laughing on the Linglong Boat had come to an abrupt end, but Xu Ruoxi's gaze did not stop on the Eighth Prince. The person behind the Eighth Prince was wearing a dark blue brocade jacket embroidered with gold bat patterns, jade belt and blue boots, a young man with an extremely handsome appearance, Heroic spirit is overwhelming, the eyes are as indifferent as snow, and he walks step by step from far to near, and he is not inferior to the eighth prince's Fengyi.

Xu Ruoxi's voice trembled with excitement: "It's King Jinying..."

Jiang Ruan frowned lightly, never expecting that the young man whom he had met twice was actually the famous Jinying King of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Linglong boat was full of young noble ladies, and now they saw two young men who were the dragons on the Qingsong boat, and they all blushed and talked a lot.

"Why are the Eighth Prince and King Jinying also here this year?" Zhao Jin's doubtful voice came from his ear.

During the annual Lantern Festival, although there are many princes and princes on the Qingsong Boat, the Eighth Prince and King Jinying have never been there. Firstly, these two have never heard of planning to marry a concubine, and secondly, they don't think highly of these men and women.

Jiang Ruan's brows have not been loosened since seeing these two people. If it is said that seeing the eighth prince is just an indescribable complex intertwined, but knowing the identity of the handsome young man, there is only shock in her heart.

Luo Qi weaves in the open, and Xiao Shao passes it on in secret. Jin Ying Wang Xiao Shao was a special existence in the Great Jin Dynasty.

He was born in a royal family, his father once rebelled and was suppressed later, the emperor didn't say anything, and he never even took back his title. When Xiao Shao was ten years old, King Jinying led troops to quell the rebellion in Xirong, but he himself turned out a spy and died in battle. Xiao Shao's mother hanged herself and followed him. So far, Xiao Shao is the only one left in the huge Jinying Palace.

Xiao Shao himself is also extremely outstanding, at a young age he was in charge of one hundred thousand royal guards of the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor and queen mother were very tolerant to him, and even allowed him to be rude in front of the imperial court. When the emperor wanted to change the eighth prince to be the crown prince, it was Xiao Shao who categorically stopped him in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. It was a taboo for the courtiers to talk about the Tian family affairs, but the emperor didn't feel any suspicion, so the matter of changing the crown prince was put down like this. People with good intentions guessed that the reason why Xiao Shao was so unscrupulous in front of the Holy One was that he had seized the opportunity of the Holy One and threatened the Ninth Five-Year Lord. In addition, the old Jinying King himself had rebelled, so Xiao Shao also got the name of a traitor and traitor.

However, no matter what the folk rumors say, Xiao Shao's position in the court is still as light as weight, but he doesn't stand in line or join gangs, like a different kind. The eighth prince of the previous life had shown his favor several times, but Xiao Shao flatly rejected them all. When the old emperor died of illness and the eighth prince ascended the throne, Xiao Shao was on his way to Xirong, and Jiang Ruan didn't know what happened afterwards.

In her previous life, Jiang Ruan only met Xiao Shao once, and she saw a brocade-like robe from a distance at the palace banquet, but at that time she only had the eighth prince Ye Li in her heart, and she couldn't tolerate other people in her eyes. According to his current age, Xiao Shao is only in his early twenties this year.

When everyone on the Qingsong boat saw Xiao Shao and the eighth prince Ye Li coming, they all greeted them. One of the young men in green stood up, walked to Xiao Shao, and said with a smile: "Third Brother, this is the first time I see you coming to this Lantern Festival. Could it be that some girl you fell in love with?"

This person is Mo Cong, Xiao Shao glanced at him, didn't want to talk, just found a seat by the window and sat down.

On the other side, the Fifth Prince narrowed his eyes when he saw Ye Li: "Old Ba, what gust of wind brought you here?"

"Father asked me to come out for a walk. I thought I had been in the capital for so many years and had never seen the beauty of the Lantern Festival, so I came here." Ye Li smiled politely. This remark naturally has a different meaning in the ears of the fifth prince. It is well known that the emperor prefers the eighth prince. Now that the Linglong boat is full of the daughters of high officials and nobles, the old emperor may have wanted the eighth prince. The thought of choosing a concubine wanted to add a boost to him.
