"Didn't you say there was a lantern viewing contest? Where is it?" Murong Xue asked.
Wang Qing retracted his gaze towards Fang Xiaorou and lowered his head to gently say, "The lantern viewing competition is above the Drunken Heart Lake."
"A lake? But I'm afraid of water." Murong Xue seemed to be slightly bitter in a difficult way.
"Then we won't go, we'll just enjoy the lanterns over here." Wang Qing indulged.
"But I want to go and take a look." After a pause, Murong Xue glanced at the approaching Fang Xiaorou and continued, "You know, if I fall into the lake I will disappear forever."
As expected, after hearing these words, Fang Xiaorou's body paused for a moment, her gaze flickering slightly, not knowing what schemes she was thinking of again.
Murong Xue sneered in her heart.
Wang Qing blushed slightly, "Don't be ridiculous, how is it possible?!"
"I'm not making this up, I'm serious, we all have a fatal trait there that we can't fall into the lake." Murong Xue said with feigned relief.
"Then don't go, and don't go in the future." Wang Qing's eyes flashed.
Though he didn't really believe in such peculiar things, but just in case, it was best not to let her anywhere near the lake in the future.
Murong Xue frowned in dissatisfaction.
"I'm going to go, inside the mansion is boring, usually you don't accompany me, it's rare for me to come out and you still won't let me watch the fun, besides, aren't you there?!"
How can they not go? Their plan is in this lake.
Wang Qing hesitated.
Eventually it was a hard nod.
He didn't think he'd ever be able to deny her the look of anticipation that sparkled with points of light.
It's just a matter of him keeping a close eye on it at best.
Besides, there were quite a few secret guards around, so there shouldn't be some thing going on.
"Great, let's hurry up then." Murong Xue almost walked towards the lake with some impatience.
"Slow down, take it easy." So much like a little kid.
Fang Xiaorou clenched her fists, then locked eyes with Sister Liu behind her for two.
A single look from the two men, who had been master and servant for years, was enough.
Wang Qing himself originally had a very large boat, and someone had already arranged everything long before several people arrived.
"This boat is so beautiful." Murong Xue, who was used to yachts in modern times, also couldn't help but to be beautiful for the streaming light and the dressed up glaze emitting a soft glow.
"Give it to you if you like it." The gentle smile in Wang Qing's ink-clear eyes grew thicker, and the gaze toward Murong Xue was enough to drown a person in those ink-black pupils.
"I don't want it, I just appreciate it. Heh. Let's hurry up."
"Wait, I'll help you." Wang Qing carefully held Murong Xue's hand, then took a glance at her thin waist and directly carried her up to the boat boarding place.
"Ya!" Murong Xue didn't react for a moment and exclaimed.
And Fang Xiaorou, who was following behind, could almost feel everyone's strange gazes.
Obviously she was the only consort of the king, but she was like a forgotten concubine who could not get half a bit of pity.
Muten, you should just sink to the bottom of the lake and die.
"Your Highness." Sister Liu moved closer to remind Fang Xiaorou who was currently gritting her teeth and losing her appearance.
Fang Xiaorou let out a deep breath before barely softening that face.
"Your Highness, come, I'll help you over." Sister Liu stood at the edge of the boat and said to Fang Xiao Rou.
Fang Xiaorou's eyes went straight to the two men standing on the boat, looking up.
Unfortunately, Wang Qingzeng lowered his head and gave Murong Xue a gentle talk about the rules of the lantern viewing competition, and simply forgot that there was another woman waiting for his pity.
Fang Xiaorou's eyes flashed with a touch of despair, and there was mute flickering in the corner of her eyes.
Sister Liu watched with a pang of pain.
Fang Xiaorou placed her hand in Sister Liu's and carefully stepped onto the deck.
But what could be done, this man was her favorite and the one she belonged to for life, no matter if it was good or not, she would live and die together for the rest of her life.
"Master Wang." Fang Xiaorou walked over and softly shouted.
"Uh-huh." Wang Qing faintly answered.
While he didn't resent her tactics, it wasn't good to target the women he liked too much.
Moreover, he actually found a man like that to come out tonight, ruining a woman's reputation like this is too vicious.
He really couldn't imagine the soft-faced woman in front of him as that kind of ruthless woman.
It's just that what Wang Qing doesn't understand is a woman's mind.
If he had been treating everyone the same as before, Fang Xiaorou would not have been like this at all.
It's really because he's too good for Muten.
It aroused jealousy and panic within Fang Xiaorou.
"It's windy here, come inside and sit down." Wang Qing said softly.
The beautiful boat is slowly sliding towards the center of the lake.
The Lantern Appreciation Competition is located at the center of the Drunken Heart Lake, and there are already quite a few boats rowing that way, which is quite lively.
"No, it's so much fun out here, it's no fun going inside." How could she go inside, here was the key to her plan.
There is actually a fence on top of the boat, it's about at thigh level, it's not very high, but if you don't do it on purpose, you usually won't fall in.
"It's better to go inside, it's okay to come out later." Mutian was standing right at the fence by the side of the boat, looking a little fluttery.
Wang Qing was inexplicably a bit uneasy and directly held Murong Xue's hand.
Murong Xue drew back without understanding the sound, "What's wrong?"
"No." Wang Qing faintly shook his head.
But whatever was in his heart, he would not show his unsatisfactory side, that would be too cowardly.
Fang Xiaorou stared fiercely at all this, then hooked up a cold smile.
"You guys move the tea table inside out." Fang Xiaorou commanded.
Soon a chapter of square refreshment tables was moved out and a few cushions were placed on the deck.
"Come, sit and chat." Wang Qing said indifferently.
Murong Xue nodded.
Fang Xiaorou carefully made tea, striving to do her best.
She remembered that the king loved tea, so she even went to find a tea-making master to learn the craft, just so that one day she could make a pot of good tea for the king.
If she could get a word of praise from the king, she would feel happy.
"This tea is good, you taste it?!" Wang Qing took a sip before picking up another cup and handing it to Murong Xue.
Sister Liu looked at Fang Ke Rou with some concern.
No woman can stand to have the man she loves treat another woman like that.
Xiao Qing stood nervously behind Murong Xue, completely leaving no room for her to intervene.
Wang Qing served Murong Xue in a circumspect manner, leaving her as a maid with absolutely no place to perform her role.
Why is the lady still so laid back?
If it wasn't for the fact that there was still the king and the others around, Xiao Qing would even want to directly ask Miss what exactly she wanted to do.
The lady didn't tell her the plan directly, she only knew it was to escape today.
Murong Xue was also motivated by consideration for Qing.
If she told her, she would ironically reveal herself out of nervousness.
Many of the small boats recognized that this was Prince Qing's boat, so they all stepped aside to make way for the river, directly letting the large boat, Wang Qing, lead to the central competition stage.
"Wang Qing, I like the highest lantern, will you help me win it?" Murong Xue said as she pointed at the lantern above the competition stage.
The highest lantern, that is to say, you have to win the top of this lantern-viewing competition to get that lantern from a famous artist.
Even if you see it at least from a distance, you are impressed by the mastery of the craft.
"Okay, I'll fulfill whatever you want." So don't think about leaving, Wang Qing said gently.
Murong Xue seemed to have slightly averted her gaze.
And why would he bother?
There are plenty of women better than her in the world above.
For example, Fang Xiaorou sitting across the table, although she was targeting her in everything, from Wang Qing's point of view, she was indeed a rare and good wife, at least she loved him.
Wang Qing took a sip of tea with understanding.
He's in no hurry.
He had a lifetime to make her fall in love with him.
At least over this period of time, Murong Xue's attitude towards him had gotten much better.
It can't be forced too eagerly.
Fang Xiaorou bit her lip, not daring to make the same request as Mu Tian.
She didn't want to destroy the last thought in her mind.
As long as she didn't ask, she could lie to herself that it was Mu Tian's brazen request that the king gave it to her.
Instead, he chose Muten between her and Muten.
When he was near the center of the competition stage, Wang Qing stood up, then softly said to Murong Xue, "Wait for me here, I'll go fetch the lantern back for you."
The Lantern Viewing Contest is certainly not for everyone.
At least an invitation card is required.
The invitation cards had been delivered to various prestigious talents two days earlier.
King Ching certainly did.
The competition stage was decorated quite beautifully. The red pillars were carved with dragons and phoenixes leaping to the heavens above them.
The black lacquered gold plaque bore the three big characters of the Lamp Appreciation Pavilion in dragon and phoenix.
Lanterns of various colors hang above the pavilion dazzling people with their cover.
I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.
Wang Qing directly stepped on his light power and leapt towards the competition stage.
The handsome and dashing figure has dazzled countless boudoir girls.
Wang Qing's appearance caused a burst of screams.
"Ah, my, it's His Highness, King Qing."
"I shouldn't be dreaming."
"His Highness, King Qing, has actually come to the Lantern Festival."
"......" Fang Xiaorou was filled with pride, this was her husband.
Murong Xue got up as if she was not aware of it, and leaned against the railing at the side of the boat.
Waving at Wang Qing who looked back.
As expected, Wang Qing immediately revealed a gentle smile, and there was another squeal.
Looking at Murong Xue's back, Fang Xiaorou's eyes flashed with a vicious stream of light.
Fingers tightly roped around the handkerchief, which had long since been deformed.
Fang Xiaorou got up and slowly walked towards Murong Xue.
And Murong Xue seemed oblivious to it all.
Sister Liu had taken care of Fang Xiaorou since she was a child, how could she not understand what she was thinking?
"Your Highness, watch your step." Sister Liu stumbled forward in a seemingly inadvertent manner, and that direction was exactly where Murong Xue was leaning against the railing.
"Flop!" Murong Xue was instantly pushed into the river.
"Ah, miss, help." The first one to react was Xiao Qing.
After she shouted out a sentence, she didn't care that she herself didn't know how to use water, she instantly jumped down to the lake, she wanted to save the young lady.
