Chapter 192: He has been feeling up and down since she left, but now that she is here, everything is
Qin Dong quickly arranged for the matter to be settled. The person who organized this party was a counselor in Princess Changle's palace. Qin Dong had someone secretly drink with him and came up with this idea.
Princess Changle is different from Her Royal Highness the Princess. She has been studying hard since she was a child. She is the apple of the eye of the teachers in Juxian Yashe and a talented woman famous in the capital of Dasheng.
Princess Changle would hold banquets to gather talented people every year, inviting some talented scholars from various academies to attend the banquets and make friends through literature.
Therefore, Qin Dong secretly made arrangements for Princess Changle to do this matter, so as not to attract the attention of that person who was monitoring him, nor to attract the attention of those who were monitoring Mo Yunsheng.
······
A few days later, Mo Yunsheng and several classmates from Dongli Academy received invitations to the gathering banquet from Princess Changle.
The gathering banquet was scheduled for a few days later at the Wanghu Tower on Sanxian Mountain. When Mo Yunsheng received the invitation, he stared at the three words "Sanxian Mountain" on the invitation in a daze.
He remembered that she was smiling sweetly and looking at him with her beautiful eyes.
Qin Xue's voice was soft and gentle as she asked him, "Brother Mo, when we leave Shuibo Pavilion, I heard that Sanxian Mountain, not far from the outskirts of Beijing, is located above East Lake. It is surrounded by mountains and waters, and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Pavilions and towers are hidden in the mountains and mist, making it a fairyland."
He looked at the girl in front of him, and she was all in his heart and eyes. He spoke to her softly.
"This Sanxian Mountain is a good place to go, but it's not as beautiful in winter as in early spring. In early spring, when the mountain flowers are in full bloom, it is extremely beautiful."
"After we leave Shuibo Pavilion, I'll take Sister Xue to enjoy the winter scenery." Mo Yunsheng said softly, "When spring flowers bloom all over Sanxian Mountain, I'll take Sister Xue to revisit our old place, okay?"
In a trance, he didn't know why Sanxian Mountain was still there, but the person who had made an appointment with her was not there.
"Mr. Mo, would you mind attending the gathering of talented people banquet in a few days?" asked the servant.
His voice brought Mo Yunsheng back to his senses.
"Please tell His Highness that Yunsheng thanks His Highness for coming." Mo Yunsheng concealed all his thoughts, lowered his eyes, took the invitation and answered.
······
On the day of the Juxian Banquet, people began to come to the East Lake Wharf to enjoy the feast since the dawn.
Sanxian Mountain is located on the East Lake in the suburbs of Dashengjing. The East Lake is vast, with clear water and a wide lake. The grass and reeds on both sides stretch like ribbons.
Before dawn, Su Yingxue quietly arranged a flower boat to float on the lake. Avoid the crowds and get on the lake boat.
This time, to conceal her identity, she didn't dress like Mo Yunsheng usually did. She wore a light blue dress embroidered with dark silver thread and a veil. The lining was warm white rabbit fur. Her martial arts training these days had made her look healthier than before, but her figure remained graceful.
Just because of practicing martial arts, her hands, as delicate as jade carvings, are no longer as delicate and have a thin layer of calluses, but now she has become more energetic.
Su Yingxue leaned on the railing on the second floor of the flower boat and looked out at the lake. The lake was vast and misty, and ripples appeared on the water due to the breeze.
Half an incense stick later, the lake gradually became lively, and many flower boats, black-sailed boats and passenger boats hired by merchants began to sail back and forth on the lake.
"Your Highness, Master Mo is on board." Taxue reported beside him.
"That's great." Su Yingxue looked at the newly launched black-sailed boat at the East Lake Pier in the distance. That was their people.
Su Yingxue thought about it. Although it was a bit unfair to cut in, she had to try her best for the 5% points for sightseeing.
"In that case, let's proceed as planned." Su Yingxue said lightly.
"promise."
······
"Boatman, why are you stopped in the middle of the lake?"
Mo Yunsheng felt the boat shake, and it stopped moving forward and instead stopped here.
Mo Yunsheng, dressed in white, walked out of the black-sailed boat and saw the boatman standing at the bow. Seeing him come out, the boatman whispered, "I'm sorry, young man, the oar is broken and we can't reach East Lake."
"There is a flower boat docked ahead. Why don't you try your luck and ask the owner of the flower boat to give you a ride halfway?" the boatman asked Mo Yunsheng in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yunsheng looked at the broken oar in the boatman's hand. This was indeed the only way.
"Hello, my name is Mo Yunsheng. My oar broke when we were in the lake and I can't go any further. Could you give me a ride for the second half of the journey?"
Mo Yunsheng saw two maids standing at the railing on the first floor of the flower boat, so he had to ask softly.
Seeing this, the two maids signaled the boat to slowly move towards that place.
The flower boat approached, and two servants lowered the ladder and connected to the boat's hull. They said softly, "Sir, please come aboard. My master invites you."
This flower boat is luxurious and majestic, with carved beams and painted buildings, elegant incense, and a sense of elegance and opulence. The flower boat consists of two floors, the lower floor is a private room with elegant furnishings.
Mo Yunsheng was waiting for the boat owner. In the private room, tea was served by the maid. Mo Yunsheng sat in the reception area, feeling somewhat disappointed.
I didn't expect to see Broken Oars when I went out today. I guess by the time he reached Sanxian Mountain, most of his classmates would have already arrived.
Mo Yunsheng was looking at the tea in front of him. When the covered bowl of tea was served, he opened the bowl and smelled a familiar fragrance.
This is Yunwu Silver Needle. Mo Yunsheng looked at it carefully. This tea is a tribute tea. He has been exposed to it since he was a child and is very familiar with it.
Mo Yunsheng saw that the texture of the tea leaves and the color of the tea soup were better than those stored in the Mo family now. This tea was of the highest quality. As soon as he smelled and saw it, his mind became clear.
I'm afraid that the owner of this flower boat is someone from the palace.
Just when Mo Yunsheng hesitated, a familiar voice as sweet as orchid and jade came from behind him.
"Brother Mo, I haven't seen you for a few days." Su Yingxue walked slowly around the screen from the stern of the boat. She was wearing a light blue dress today. She had taken off her veil, but she was still beautiful.
"Sister Axue..." Mo Yunsheng didn't expect that the first person he saw was Qin Xue.
"Sister Xue..."
"How could you be here? Why are you here?" Mo Yunsheng asked softly, as if he had thousands of words to ask her.
He wanted to ask if she was okay?
He wanted to ask her why she suddenly left without saying goodbye?
He wanted to ask her why she was on this flower boat?
"Brother Mo, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you remember that day when you promised Sister Axue that you would accompany her to travel around the mountains and rivers?" Su Yingxue smiled softly. She looked at Mo Yunsheng and felt that he was dressed in white clothes that was whiter than snow, and he was elegant and noble, like a banished immortal.
"Of course, I remember." Mo Yunsheng hadn't seen her for a long time. When he saw her in this life, he really wanted to look at her a few more times.
Since she left, he has been feeling uneasy, but now that he sees her, he feels that all the waiting was worth it.
"Today..." Mo Yunsheng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Su Yingxue with a smile.
"Today, I wonder if brother can accompany me to sail on the lake and tour the mountains?" Su Yingxue spoke in advance.
She knew that Mo Yunsheng was attending the Juxian Banquet and that the hostess would also be present. To be on the safe side, Su Yingxue didn't want him to attend.
