"orchid?"

Zhao Sangxin thought about it carefully. In her memory, there seemed to be no noble surnamed Lan in the capital. Could it be that this girl was the daughter of a feudal official?

"Gui'an."

Miss Zhao didn't think much, and nodded to the Queen Mother with a gentle smile. She saw that Miss Lan was not easy to get along with, so she would not deliberately get closer to each other. Of course, she did not take the initiative to cause trouble.

idea.

"This is my sister. Miss Lan, you should have heard of her, Zhao Changxin, the only female student at Xunshan Academy."

Zhao Cuo said seriously.

"speak nicely."

Zhao Shanxin raised his hand angrily and hit him on the shoulder.

"Um."

Empress Dowager Zhao responded. Of course, she was not interested in talking to anyone. She looked at Zhao Cuo with a faint smile and said.

"Master Zhao, where are you going to take me to play tonight?"

"My idea is that we go to the markets around Yueba Lake first, and then go to the lakeside to enjoy the lanterns later. What do you think, Miss Lan?"

Zhao Cuo casually told him the arrangement that his elder sister had just told him.

"It's up to you to decide this kind of thing."

The Queen Mother lazily waved her hand, her bright eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Shangxin beside her, then she slowly took Zhao Cuo's hand and walked towards the carriage.

'How can a girl who has not left the court be able to have skin-to-skin contact with a man casually... Her relationship with Cuo'er is probably unusual.'

Miss Zhao's heart sank, but on the surface she kept calm and kept pace, maintaining the maturity and poise that an eldest sister should have.

After the three of them got on the carriage, the secret guard of the East Palace dressed as a coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage towards Yueba Lake.

It was quiet in the car.

'After I held your hand, your sister looked at me differently. Could it be that she was jealous?'

Empress Dowager Zhao's joking voice echoed in Zhao Cuo's mind.

Mr. Zhao had no choice but to close his eyes and rest in peace with this evil-minded woman.

Fortunately, the distance between Yueba Lake and Zheng Guogong's Mansion is less than a quarter of an hour's drive.

"I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time."

After getting off the bus at the bustling lakeside market, the Queen Mother looked at the bustling night market in front of her with relish, and then raised her lips and handed her white jade hand to Zhao Cuo.

"I grant you permission to hold my hand the whole time tonight."

His words were directed at Zhao Cuo and no one around him could hear them.

"Thank you, empress."

Zhao Cuo looked at the arrogance on her face as if she was giving alms. He took a deep breath to control the rising blood pressure before holding her soft hand. Feeling the beautiful touch of her little hand, he felt a little better.

"gone."

Of course, Empress Dowager Zhao didn't care what his thoughts were. She pulled Zhao Cuo into the market leisurely like a monarch patrolling the territory. The innate nobility and awe in her body made the people around her automatically pull away.

distance.

"Go buy that for me."

She pointed at a small vendor selling candied haws on a stick and ordered to Zhao Cuo.

“Do you want to eat from a roadside stall, my dear lady?”

Young Master Zhao looked suspiciously at the most noble woman in the Yu Dynasty next to him.

"You mean someone will poison me?"

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her eyebrows.

"I'll go and buy."

After seeing that she really didn't dislike it, Zhao Cuo took out his money bag and walked to the stall and bought two bunches of bright red candied haws.

"Please use."

"You test the poison first."

Teru Qinglan looked at him with a smile and said.

'You wait for me!'

Zhao Cuo felt annoyed, lowered his head and bit into a hawthorn fruit wrapped in sugar skin, and tasted both bunches at the same time.

The Queen Mother, who had a bad personality, took the candied haws in his hand and took a bite.

But her next words forced a heart and cerebrovascular disease to break out.

"It tastes terrible."

A look of disgust appeared on her delicate little face like a landscape painting, and then she handed the remaining candied haws in her hand to Zhao Cuo's mouth and said casually:

"It's all for you."

'I knew you weren't so easy to take care of.'

The corners of Zhao Cuo's eyes twitched, and he lowered his head perfunctorily and took a bite under the one she had bitten, but this made the Queen Mother let out a "hmm".

Noticing the danger in his eyes, Mr. Zhao wisely opened his mouth and ate the red hawthorn with tiny teeth marks.

Fortunately, it is not unacceptable to kiss a beautiful girl indirectly.

'Cao'er must have that kind of relationship with this Miss Lan, right? He has a confidante and he doesn't even tell his sister that he must ask him after he returns home.'

Miss Zhao, who was a short distance behind, looked at the delicate woman in front of her who was flirting with her brother with some discomfort.

"Sister Appreciation."

Just when she was feeling sad, Zhao Cuo came over with a bunch of candied haws.

"You can eat too."

"Um."

The gentle smile that had not changed on Zhao Shangxin's face became softer.

"that……"

After wandering around for a while, Zhao Shangxin suddenly stopped the two of them and said in a gentle tone:

"The lantern festival on Yueba Lake is about to start. Let's go there now, otherwise we will have to blow the cold wind by the lake when the organizer's painting boat runs out of seats."

"Then let's go there quickly."

Zhao Cuo, who was tortured by the bad woman, responded in error, and then realized that he should have asked the Queen Mother for her opinion first. When he turned to look at her, another half-eaten baked rice cake stuck to his mouth.

"Miss Lan, what do you think?"

Zhao Cuo naturally took the skewers from her hand and asked at the same time.

"If you let me watch the lanterns by the lake, I will drown you."

The Queen Mother spoke with a smile as bright as a flower and spoke captivating words.

"Let's go, sister."

Zhao Cuo pretended not to hear her words and looked at Miss Zhao.

"Um."

Zhao Shanxin, who really couldn't hear what the overly willful Miss Lan said, nodded.

The group of people walked towards the boats docked on the shore. The brothels in the past were also closed today, and now they are all observation boats.

After walking to the lake, Zhao Cuo discovered that there were bright lanterns floating on the lake. The soft evening breeze blew across his cheeks. This pleasant moment made him relax a little.

"Sister Zhao!"

As soon as they stepped onto a boat, the coquettish sounds of young women could be heard, and they saw several graceful girls waving to them.

One of the girls with a hint of arrogance in her eyes walked over with a smile.

But she didn't take a few steps before she stopped again with a pale face.

"Your Highness the Princess?"

Zhao Sangxin looked at the Princess Xinning, the legitimate daughter of the King of Han, whom he had met at the poetry gathering a few days ago, with some strangeness. He found that her eyes were behind him, and she opened her eyes as if she had seen something terrifying.

Big beautiful eyes.

'It's over...'

Princess Xinning, who had met the Queen Mother at a family banquet in the inner palace, could not wait to escape from Yueba Lake immediately carrying the painted boat.

What did she see?
