At this point, the princes were playing chess with Prince Yu while the princesses were talking about their own matters. The prince glanced at Shang Yiqing and asked, "Why aren't you with the royal concubines?"
"It's so boring to be with those women!" Shang Yiqing let out an unhappy sigh. Although it was not the first time she had met the princesses of Prince Yu's mansion, every time she had come into contact with them she had grown even more annoyed.
Fang Zinan smiled and glanced at her, "Do you want us to go back now?"
"Great!" Shang Yiqing jumped up without hesitation. She really did not want to stay here. She was overjoyed to hear that she could return! However, thinking about it, with so many people here, if it was just her and Prince Rong returning, it would be a bit rude. Therefore, he said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the two of us to leave together?"
"Come with me." With that, Fang Zinan led Shang Yiqing out of the garden. When they walked out, no one noticed them. Their way was unimpeded, and the two of them easily left Prince Yu's estate.
After leaving the palace, Fang Zinan brought two horses with him.
"Where are we going?" Shang Yiqing asked in surprise.
Fang Zinan turned his head and only said one sentence: "Come with me."
It was strange. Where was he taking her? This strange fellow? Shang Yiqing followed behind him in confusion, only to see him urging her horse to leave the city. Her white robes fluttered in the wind, and her posture was graceful.
Countless questions arose in Shang Yiqing's mind, but in the end, she didn't ask anything and followed Fang Zinan out of the city.
After Fang Zinan left the city, Shang Yiqing followed behind him on her horse. It was only when they arrived at the Yi River that Fang Zinan stopped.
"What did you bring me here for?" Shang Yiqing asked, confused.
"I was too bored staying at Prince Yu's estate. I just came out to take a walk." Fang Zinan slowly approached the river, his black hair flying in the wind. There was an unspeakable expression of pride and sadness on his face, but at the same time, it gave others a feeling of loneliness.
Shang also looked towards the river. A raft had been drawn to the heart of the river. On the raft stood a man, a water bird. The water bird did not move, nor did the man. Ripples of water. Time seemed to rest here, but time flowed by, not day or night. The peach blossoms by the river were completely silent, so beautiful that they dyed. The clouds in the sky were far away, and the sky was clear and clear.
Fang Zinan's thin lips seemed to have a smile, he stopped and looked into the distance, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Hey, what did you bring me here for?" Shang Yiqing looked at him in confusion.
Fang Zinan didn't turn his head and just relied on the wind and waves, "Don't you think it's too boring to stay in the Prince's Mansion? I'm only bringing you here to enjoy the wind."
"Wind?" Shang Yiqing couldn't help but laugh, he really knew how to speak.
At this moment, he saw Fang Zinan charge towards the ferry with a wave of his hand.
"Do you dare get on the raft?" Fang Zinan turned his head and asked in a provocative manner.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Shang Yiqing rolled her eyes at him, was he underestimating them?
Fang Zinan waved his hand at the people on the raft: "Can you take us to the river?"
The man replied lazily, "If you have money, I'll take you into the river."
That person saw the silver and immediately brought the raft over. Fang Zinan walked on the raft and Shang Yiqing also stood on it, not wanting to be outdone.
A gust of wind, a wave of disease, blowing away the peach blossoms, reed flowers, etc.
The water bird on the raft, trying to keep its balance, flapped its wings.
The people on the raft didn't move, nor did Fang Zinan. Shang Yiqing felt like she was about to fall into the water, swaying on the raft.
Fang Zinan glanced at her from the corner of his eye as if to ask: "Can you do it?"
Shang Yiqing huffed and puffed as she regained her balance. Her sleeves fluttered as the water from the water wetted her clothes.
This feeling of Jiang Linfeng was quite pleasing. Shang Yiqing quickly forgot the fear in her heart and instead breathed deeply into the river water. The fresh air carried a slight breeze, as if the depressed mood had been relieved.
The river was very wide, and there was a bamboo raft floating on the river in the distance. The people on the boat held their hands and slowly moved closer to her.
Shang Yiqing looked at the man strangely. He was wearing a bamboo hat and an aqua green robe, but his face couldn't be seen clearly.
The two bamboo rafts got closer and closer, until they were very close. Only then did the person say, "Your highness is so elegant. Why are you so free to come and play in the river today?"
From the tone, it seemed to be a woman. Shang Yiqing was about to size her up when he saw that she had lifted her bamboo hat to reveal an extremely delicate face. Her eyebrows were like the eyebrows of a goddess, her eyes like spring water, her complexion like peach blossoms, and her expression like a smile. She was actually an extremely elegant girl.
When Fang Zinan saw the girl, the smile on his face deepened. "So it's Miss Ying Ying. Why are you here as well?"
"This place isn't for you alone. If you can come, why can't I?" The girl called Ying Ying laughed tenderly. When she laughed, her eyes were very narrow, giving off a very elegant feeling.
Shang Yiqing looked at her with an uncomfortable feeling in her heart. Who was she? Why was she so familiar with Fang Zinan? Why would she appear here? Could it be that they had already made an appointment?
In Shang Yiqing's eyes, the smile on Fang Zinan's face was indescribably annoying. She hated him smiling like this to other girls, and he hated him seeing other girls acting in harmony.
Fang Zinan bowed and looked at Shang Yiqing before saying to the girl called Ying Ying, "Why are you the only one out today, aren't you with your big brother?"
"He has so much to do every day that he doesn't want to be with him? But I'm not alone. " Ying Ying had a faint smile on her face. Her aqua colored clothes accentuated her delicate complexion. She was truly a refined and elegant woman.
"Oh? "Then who did you come with?" Fang Zinan unconsciously asked.
Ying Ying smiled sweetly. "Haven't I met all of you? With you all by my side, how can I be considered lonely?"
Shang Yiqing was already very unhappy about this Ying Ying girl. She simply ignored her and continued to chat with Fang Zinan, ignoring her completely. She felt that if she didn't speak now, someone would forget her, so she asked, "My lord, where is this lady from? How come I've never heard you mention her before?"
