In the summer season, there is no longer a gentle spring breeze, which is refreshing and quiet.
The early morning sun penetrates the thin clouds, bringing with it the heat of summer, and begins to shine on the vast land of Bei Tiao Country.
Looking north to the capital city.
Ten miles outside the city, at Mochou Lake, the golden sunlight shines unobstructed on the emerald-green water, covering it with layers of golden light. It is as beautiful as a fairyland and is intoxicating.
There is an uncovered boat parked by the lake. There is a man in white sitting on the bow of the boat. He is wearing a hat with a very low brim, which blocks his appearance and makes it difficult to see clearly. He is slender.
His fingers held the sculls but did not move them, as if he was waiting for someone.
The sun above our heads gradually became fiercer, and finally the sound of rolling carriage wheels floated in the wind.
"Sister, you didn't say you would bring me to find Brother Hao, but we took a carriage all the way out of the city and walked a long way. Why haven't we seen Brother Hao yet?" This clear but yet childish voice came from a man.
A girl about fifteen years old wearing a pink dress.
She is Lu Wushuang, the legitimate daughter of Lu Xiuyuan, the prime minister of the Beitiao Kingdom, and she is the third child. She contracted a strange disease when she was seven years old, and her intelligence has stayed at the stage of a seven-year-old since then.
The carriage stopped on the road not far from Mochou Lake. Lu Wushuang, who jumped out of the carriage, had an unparalleled face, with lips like cherry blossoms, eyebrows like distant mountains, and a face as white as jade with a pair of black, bright and clear eyes. Because
Because of the hot weather, her smooth forehead was covered with a fine layer of fragrant sweat.
After she jumped out of the carriage, another woman in an apricot yellow summer shirt also got off the carriage.
This woman's facial features are exquisite. Not only is she beautiful, but her upturned eyes seem to be able to speak. She is even more charming and charming.
She is Lu Wanqing, the eldest daughter of Lu Xiuyuan.
Lu Wan stretched out her jade-white fingers and pointed at the boat docked by the lake. A hint of sinisterness quickly flashed through her smiling eyes, "Let's get on the boat first. Once we get on the boat, your brother Hao will naturally appear."
"Really?" Lu Wushuang tilted his head and looked at Lu Wanqing with eyes as clear as mountain clouds.
"Sister, when did I ever lie to you? Let's go." Lu Wanqing reached out to hold Lu Wushuang's hand and walked quickly to the boat parked by the lake.
Board the boat, untie the cable, row the oars, and row the boat to the center of the lake.
"Sister, why hasn't Brother Hao shown up yet?" Looking at the green lake, Lu Wushuang felt a little scared and subconsciously grabbed Lu Wanqing's sleeves, her crisp voice carrying a hint of fear.
"Your brother Hao likes to eat the white fish from Mochou Lake the most. If you go into the water and catch one, your brother Hao will definitely appear in front of you." Lu Wanqing smiled as warm as the spring breeze, but there was a secret hidden in her dark eyes.
A cold and cold light.
Hearing this, Lu Wushuang showed a hint of joy on her face. She mustered up the courage to stand up. Looking at the bottomless lake, she became timid again. She shook her head, leaned towards Lu Wanqing who stood up next, and said:
"But I don't know how to swim."
"It doesn't matter, it will come naturally if you go down. If you are afraid, eldest sister will help you."
A cold smile crept onto Lu Wanqing's face, and the bright sunlight poured down and shone into her dark eyes, but it could not dispel the coldness in her eyes.
I saw Lu Wanqing raise her wrist, move it quietly to Lu Wushuang's back, and exert a little force on her wrist. There was only a "gudong" sound, and the unprepared Lu Wushuang fell headlong into the cold lake water.
The water from the lake kept coming toward her, pouring into her mouth and nostrils. Her body kept sinking and sinking, sinking toward the bottom of the lake.
Before sinking, across the water, she vaguely saw the man in white who had been sitting on the bow of the boat rowing, taking off the bamboo hat on his head. That man was Brother Hao, who had been engaged to her since childhood, and the legitimate son of Shangguan Qian, the head of the Shangguan family.
