The leaves of the trees rustled in the breeze. The willow tree was long and gently swaying in the breeze, bringing out its luster. From time to time, there would be a few happy chirps from the lush thrushes, so leisurely that people would like to let go of all their fatigue and immerse themselves in this beautiful scenery.

"Is she beautiful?" Lu Yao chuckled as he picked up the willow branch and wrapped it around his hand.

I nodded. "It's beautiful, but it will be discovered."

No, let's sit down. Come." He led me into the depths of the willow, where there was a small table and a small stone chair. On the other side, there was a lake full of lotus flowers, a pond in the middle of the lake, and a pavilion made of glazed glass.

"Zhiqiu, do you feel especially good? Also, look at this, do you know how to knock?"

On the stone table, there were several bowls filled with water of varying depth. There were also two chopsticks placed on the table. The water in the bowls didn't seem to be drifting about like willow leaves.

Since ancient times, someone had filled a bowl with water and knocked on it. The sound was not the same, but they compiled their thoughts together to create a melodious sound.

Picking up the chopsticks, he gently tried out the sound, adjusted the water, and began to beat on it.

The sound was crisp and light, melodious and cheerful. It slowly became just like the weather and the scenery. It became very good.

The leaves that had fallen into the bowl were spinning merrily under the vibration of the water.

The wind blew my hair, comfortable, I looked up at the surprised Lu Yao, gently smiled.

She praised, "Such a beautiful voice. Zhiqiu, I've discovered that there is a hidden expert by my side."

He slightly closed his eyes and knocked on the door as his mood soared.

She went to find something to eat, then turned and fled into the willow thicket.

Her back seemed to be filled with sighs.

She is an intelligent woman. She can see through the essence of my arrival, but I can't see through her sadness and helplessness. I didn't speculate much about her, and I was sure she wouldn't hurt me.

Like the sound of the finger, slowly overflowed the pleasant sound, the thrush no longer called, the willow branch, also stopped, the lake that was suffused with silver waves, also quietened down, everything in the world, was so quiet that only the sound of the voice could be heard, it was really beautiful.

"Who's there?" Leng Wei's reprimand scared me so much that I dropped my chopsticks. I could vaguely see that there were a few people in the pavilion, then a shout sounded and the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the willow forest.

This is bad, I forgot that this is the palace, and knock louder and louder.

When I saw the dense lotus leaves, I had a flash of inspiration. I immediately lifted my skirt and dived into the water. My heart was beating in my throat as I used the lotus leaves to cover my body. I hoped that they would not catch me.

"What an elegant thief, let us see where he can escape to now." The voice was haughty, familiar, but so nervous that I couldn't remember who it belonged to.

"Men! Search this place thoroughly. I saw with my own eyes a blue-clothed man here."

"Yes."

Sh * t. The Emperor. While he was nervous, he calmed down. What's the use of being nervous, all we have to do now is to quickly escape from here.

"He's still missing a chopstick. I didn't see him on the ground. Is he in the water?" The soft voice was very pleasant to hear.

Then I heard him smile, very close, as if he had caught me.

Someone walked into the water, and the sound of the water, the sound of the lotus leaves being pulled apart, came straight at me.

I watched indifferently, unable to escape or make unnecessary struggles.

The tall lotus leaves, like a thick shade, obstructed the light above my head. Suddenly, they were pulled apart. A pair of deep black eyes appeared in front of my eyes.

I couldn't believe it. How could it be him, Xia Junchang, that elegant and handsome man?

The sudden sunlight made me squint. I indifferently handed him the chopsticks in my hand. There was nowhere for me to hide. He caught me.

The hem of her skirt was like a blue flower floating in the shallow water.

He chuckled, and the vigilance in his eyes softened. The wind blew again, blowing the lotus leaves into his ears, making him whimper in confusion.

He put down the lotus leaves and darkness returned to his eyes. He didn't drag me out, but walked outside by himself.

As they walked, they said, "I didn't catch the thief. If there was a sound to lure him in, he would appear again."

Am I that easy to seduce?

"Alright, I shall use my voice to guide you." A cold voice rang out: "Bring me the jade zither. I will personally play to see if there is a phoenix somewhere hiding in the branches and not dare to come down. If you meet me, how can you fly into the sky again?"

What a boastful tone, but I was secretly delighted that Xia Junchang didn't mention where I was hiding.

The bad thing is, I don't know how long I'll be standing here. I don't even dare to move, afraid that the lotus leaves will shake and people will notice.
