Father, Mother Escaped Again

* jealous person

Outside Ye State Palace, in a clean courtyard, the sun was shining brightly. It warmly shone on a man and a woman standing side by side in the courtyard.

“It’s too boring to stay in the courtyard. I remember that Xiao Yuan liked to run around very much. I remember you also said that if you had a chance to go out of the palace in the future, you would like to travel and see the scenery.”

Li Yuan smiled slightly: “Brother Xiang still remembers.”

“I remember everything about Xiao Yuan.” Yin Xiang lightly smiled. He stared at Li Yuan’s face, there were faint ripples in his eyes, gentle as water.

Li Yuan was embarrassed by his undisguised fiery gaze, she turned her face awkwardly.

Yin Xiang didn’t mind. He withdrew his gaze, “It’s a rare opportunity today. I have already prepared a boat. Xiao Yuan has been here for so long, but must not have swam this lake in Ye Country. Want to go with Brother Xiang?”

Li Yuan hesitated, then finally nodded: “Okay.”

Soon after the two went together, a certain potted plant in the courtyard moved suspiciously towards the direction where they left.

By the riverside, the leaves on the willow tree stirred gently in the wind. The brilliant sun shone on the shimmering water surface, reflecting light and shadows.

At this moment, in a small flower garden on the side of the road, two lush green pines moved. Not long after, a head of withered grass sprang out of the grass.

“Adulterous couple!” Yan Ran spat out the withered grass in his mouth. He stared fiercely at the two people on the boating lake not far away. After a while, he threw the two pines and cypresses aside in his hands. Looking at the surface of the mirrored lake, he suddenly lit up , “Yes!”

Except for the boatman who steered the boat, there were only two people, Li Yuan and Yin Xiang.

“So it feels like this!” Li Yuan sighed softly as she felt the shaking of the boat.

Yin Xiang smiled and replied: “Although there are many lakes in Xue Country, due to years of snow, the lakes have basically frozen to ice. There are few opportunities to enjoy the water and swim in the lake.”

“Yes. Moreover, life was hard and one’s livelihood was always a problem, how can there be leisure to come to the lake, it’s only something to think about.”

The two chatted happily. They did not notice a small reed tube swaying slowly, not far from them.

“Xiao Yuan, we are not as without freedom to act independently as before. What you and I have now is the opportunity to turn something we have thought about in the beginning into reality. I remember that at that time, Xiao Yuan, you once said you wanted to travel all over the country and be an unfettered person. So…is Xiao Yuan still willing to follow brother Xiang to travel around the world?”

“I…” Li Yuan was startled. When she didn’t know how to respond, the ship suddenly shook.

“Ah…” Li Yuan exclaimed, hurriedly stretching out her hand to the table in front of her to stabilize her figure.

Yin Xiang was also taken aback. He hurriedly held Li Yuan’s hand and said anxiously: “Xiao Yuan, are you hurt?”

Li Yuan paled and shook her head: “No…I’m okay.”

Yin Xiang got up with a calm face when he saw this. Towards the people who were steering the boat, he denounced: “If you shake the boat like, what is the point in feeding you guys?”

“Gong Zi, please forgive me. I probably hit a rock in the lake, I’ll try my best to avoid it.”

Li Yuan felt a little fidgety listening to the people outside begging for mercy. She stretched out her hand to push the window open to get some fresh air, but her eyes suddenly noticed something in the lake.

Under the clear lake, a familiar figure loomed, as if beckoning to her. If she hadn’t recognized the man’s face and the reed pipe on the lake surface for exhalation, Li Yuan would almost think that she had seen a lake ghost during the daytime!

“Xiao Yuan…” Yin Xiang’s voice suddenly came in from outside. Li Yuan’s face changed. Almost as a reflexive movement of her hands, she closed the window again with a bang.

When Yin Xiang entered the cabin, he heard a loud noise. He thought that something was wrong with Li Yuan and hurriedly sped up his pace. As a result, he saw Li Yuan’s pale face, with her back against the window…

“Xiao Yuan, are you okay?”

“I’m okay, what can be wrong?” Li Yuan said with a flustered smile.

Suspicion crossed Yin Xiang’s eyes: “Then you are…”

“Oh…” Li Yuan realized she was still leaning on the window and immediately stepped back two steps: “This…I just felt a little stuffy, so I opened the window for a breather…”

“It turns out this was the case. Since Xiao Yuan feels stuffy, just open the window.” Yin Xiang smiled softly and stepped forward to help Li Yuan to open the window again.

“No… no need!” Li Yuan exclaimed when she saw this. She hurriedly stepped forward to block Yin Xiang. “After I opened the window, it suddenly felt too windy and a bit cold, so…so don’t open it!”

“… ” Yin Xiang stopped and looked at Li Yuan for a while. This made Li Yuan feel so guilty, she wanted to find a hole in the ground. He smiled again, “Okay, then don’t open it.”

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again. Yin Xiang also noticed Li Yuan’s awkwardness just now, but thoughtfully did not expose her.

But even so, Li Yuan was still a little absent-minded. Unable to control her eyes, she glanced at the side window from time to time.

Yin Xiang kept all her oddities under his watchful eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly, some speculation arose in his heart.

“Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan…”

“Uh… I’m sorry, Brother Xiang, I was a bit distracted.”

“It’s okay, I was just asking how you’re feeling.”

“What did you just say ?” Li Yuan scratched her face awkwardly. Just now, she was paying attention to the movement outside and could not hear Yin Xiang’s question, “I was just out of it and could not hear brother Xiang’s question. Could you please repeat it?”

As soon as the words came out, Yin Xiang’s face immediately felt a little worried: “Xiao Yuan, I can see your complexion is not good, if you have a fever and feel uncomfortable, come and let Brother Xiang touch.”

Touch?! Someone under the water changed his face when he heard this word. He raised his hand to the hull of the ship again, so …

“Oh, what’s the matter? Why is it shaking again? Strange, there should be no rocks here!” The exclamation of the person steering the boat came from outside. Li Yuan couldn’t help rolling her eyes at the sky.

Yin Xiang had realized it earlier on. Holding the tabletop with one hand, he held Li Yuan’s waist calmly with the other.

When the boat stabilized, Yin Xiang smiled again: “Xiao Yuan, are you okay?”

Only then did Li Yuan realize she had somehow nestled into Yin Xiang’s arms. She hurriedly answered: “That, Brother Xiang, it’s okay, let me go first.”

“!” What is that beast doing? ! Someone under the ship had their eyes widened. They wished they could break the ship right away. However, he was helpless…since he was actually…a non-swimmer. Swimming was a thing he couldn’t do… he could only stay under the boat. Anxious, he kept spinning in circles, so much that….

“Grandpa, look, there is a Wang Ba in the water over there, a Wang Ba…”

* means tortoise and also a b**tard

“!” Yan Ran heard the child from the fishing boat nearby and almost choked to death.

Wang Ba, Wang Ba… You are the Wang Ba, your whole family is the Wang Ba! Ahhhhhhhh…I am not a Wang Ba! The Grand Tutor, who had a psychological shadow to a certain vocabulary, went completely crazy!

“Xiao Yuan, there seems to be someone outside saying that they have seen a big Wang Ba, let’s go see it too.” Yin Xiang’s face was smiling but not smiling, while he suggested this.

Li Yuan was still gloating about someone being underwater, but when she heard Yin Xiang stepping forward to watch, she was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Yin Xiang’s hand, “Brother Xiang, what’s so good about a Wang Ba? Don’t look, don’t look at it…”

Yin Xiang didn’t intend to just give up like this. He spoke with a light smile: “Turtles like the warmth, so they are rare in Xue Country. It’s the first time your brother Xiang will have seen one, so I have to go see what this soft-shelled turtle will look like. This way in the future, people will not say that I am ignorant.”

Yin Xiang’s words were reasonable, so Li Yuan was unable to find words to dissuade him. Thus, Yin Xiang had already passed her side and opened the window directly.

“Oh, brother Xiang, don’t…” Li Yuan exclaimed. Seeing Yin Xiang opening the window, she covered her face and couldn’t bear to look.

For a long time, she didn’t hear any movement. Li Yuan moved her hand from her face with a little fright, and slowly looked towards that direction.

There was nothing on the smooth, calm water surface. A cold wind would blow by from time to time, raising ripples like fish scales on the lake surface, it was very beautiful.

“Huh…” Li Yuan stepped forward quickly, leaning against the window and looked at the lake in front of her. She let out a sigh of relief.

Yin Xiang raised his eyebrows, his ears moved slightly, as if he had heard something. He followed the sound and faced the faintly discernible reed tube at the stern of the boat.

With his eyes narrowed, Yin Xiang turned his head and glanced at the melon seeds still on the tabletop, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.

In the next second, a sharp melon seed flew out from Yin Xiang’s fingertips, directly hitting the vent hole above the reed tube, then… it was blocked just like that.

Yan Ran suddenly felt the lake surface shaking. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, after a while, someone sadly discovered what happened to the pipe in his mouth… he couldn’t breathe.

“…” Yan Ran was stunned for a few seconds. Then he hurriedly tried to doggy paddle, but it was a pity… little effect was achieved.

“Grandpa, grandpa, look, that Wang Ba is moving, it is moving!” The boy on the fishing boat clapped his hands excitedly when he saw Yan Ran’s movements.

Yan Ran became angry for a while, then before he passed out, he had only one thought. Wang Ba, your sister, this uncle can’t swim! Gululu…

“Ah, grandpa, the Wang Ba is floating! Ahhhhh… Grandpa, it’s not a Wang Ba, it’s not a Wang Ba, but a person!”

“…”

“Hey, what kind of guy can’t get over his depression? Go save the person, someone has fallen into the water!”

Li Yuan looked at someone slowly floating up from the bottom. She should have been anxious, but she didn’t know why she suddenly felt like laughing: “Pu…”

Yin Xiang stared at the smile on Li Yuan’s face. This was the first time that Li Yuan smiled so happily since he met Li Yuan again…. so relaxed, but unfortunately, it was not because of himself.

“Tsk tsk…” At the same time, on the other side of the river bank, a few girls stood under the willow tree.

Xia Yuqing stared at the unknown object floating on the water, and sighed: “Gently I leave, just as I came gently. I beckoned gently, to bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky. The golden willow on the river bank is the setting sun’s bride. In the shimmering picture, it ripples in my heart. The waterlily on the soft mud, glisten as it waves in the bottom of the water; in the gentle waves, I willingly resign myself to be a water plant!”

“Niang Niang, what are you talking about? Why doesn’t Nu Bi understand a word?” The little girl holding the umbrella next to her was confused.

Xia Yuqing coughed slightly and said calmly: “It’s nothing, I just got excited when someone jumped into the river so I recited a poem to express my thoughts.”

Ahem, modern poems are also poems, so it is not a lie. Xia Yuqing didn’t think of her integrity when she said this.

“Poetry? What Niang Niang recited was a poem?” The little girl was taken aback for a moment, obviously somehow unable to react.

Xia Yuqing said with a firm face: “Yes, it’s a poem of a mourning female water ghost.”

“…”

The little girl was stunned, and suddenly remembered Xia Yuqing just speaking about the bride in the sunset, the water lily in the mud, and the water plants. What? Is it possible… Is it possible that Niang Niang is mourning the bride who was thrown into the lake? !

The little girl was timid. Because of Xia Yuqing’s unintentional words, she thought of a bunch of terrifying things and couldn’t sleep for several days.

Xia Yuqing didn’t know her unintentional words gave the little girl such a shock. At this moment, she was touching her chin, staring at the dead Yan Ran not far away. She sighed: “Gorgeous Tutor is still too tender. It took only a short while for him to be KO’d. It seems that the love triangle between him, Xiao Yuan and Young Master Yin is still going to persist!”

Thinking like this, Xia Yuqing suddenly saw that Yin Xiang, who was standing next to Li Yuan, stood up. Then like an eagle carrying a chick, he lifted Yan Ran from the water.

The two of them flew back to the deck of Yin Xiang’s ship. From a distance, Yan Ran, who had apparently fainted in the water, was leaning on Yin Xiang’s body weakly. That scene…

“!” WTF, What did I see? The Gorgeous Tutor was nestled in the arms of Young Master Yin…in his arms…in his arms…

Ahhhhh…Xia Yuqing’s little person who had been silent for so long let out a shriek worthy of a blockbuster movie.

“Niang Niang, what’s the matter with you?” Seeing Xia Yuqing’s face changed, Cui Er asked anxiously.

Xia Yuqing couldn’t listen to other people’s words anymore, she just mumbled to herself, trapped in her own world.

“Why didn’t I think… I didn’t think of…”

“What did you think of?”

“The purpose that Young Master Yin came here for was not Xiaon Yuan at all! Ahhhhhh…”

Cui Er’s eyes raised slightly, and she frowned: “If Young Master Yin didn’t come here for Xiao Yuan, then…”

“It’s for the Gorgeous Tutor!”

“…Huh?”

“That’s right, that’s it!” It was all a pretense saying he came to Ye country for the sake of continuing the relationship with Xiao Yuan. In fact, Yin Gongzi’s real purpose is Gorgeous Tutor! Yin Gongzi… he likes the Gorgeous Tutor!”

“…… ” Niang Niang, you are overthinking things.

“It must be like this. Cui Er, look, look at the picture of the Gorgeous Tutor and Yin Gongzi standing together…uuuuu…” Xia Yuqing excitedly pointed to the two standing side by side not far away.

A beautiful boy and a beautiful man, two men standing together like this is simply a painting!

Gentle, scholar Seme × unreasonable provocative uke, this kind of love where rivals suddenly look at each other and instantly turns from enemy to lover trope, it’s really too good!

There are affairs everywhere in this world, but people lack the eyes to find the affair. Xia Yuqing felt at this moment that she has accidentally touched the corner of some person’s affair and what she has to do now is slowly open this corner to reveal the true faces inside.

Cui Er looked helplessly at Xia Yuqing staring at the two people not far away with gleaming eyes. She was considering whether she should drag someone away quickly.

But soon she discovered that even if she didn’t do this, Xia Yuqing could no longer watch the excitement here because of the news that came from the palace.

The third princess had come to visit, so Xia Yuqing had to return to the palace quickly.

When Xia Yuqing got the news, she bit her handkerchief and reluctantly said goodbye to the lovely love triangle drama opposite her, and hurried back to Xiefang palace like her butt was on fire.

The moment she rushed to the gate of Xiefang palace and saw Xia Muyun, Xia Yuqing realized that her decision was very sensible. This is because if she came back a quarter of an hour late, she had no doubt that the small bedroom she had lived in for nearly two years would be overturned by Xia Muyun.

“Third…Royal Sister.” Xia Yuqing moved in the direction of Xia Muyun step by step with fear.

Xia Muyun actually didn’t do anything, she just sat quietly at the edge of the table, sipping a cup of tea at the right temperature. Her bright red whip was placed on the table on her right, looking like a normal scene, except for the fact that there was a raging resentment billowing behind her that made others step back.

“You’re back? Come here… why are you shaking like that? Am I so scary?” Xia Muyun turned her head and looked at Xia Yuqing’s panicky eyes.

“…” Of course it’s scary, you try to look at a person who looks like a ferocious spirit at midnight during broad daylight. This spirit is obviously an evil spirit, can she not be afraid?!

Third Royal Sister, your younger sister is just a mortal, I can’t afford to offend such a big Buddha, please let me go, please let me go!

Xia Yuqing burst into tears in her heart, but she couldn’t show any signs on her face. She reluctantly moved over and sat down beside Xia Muyun.

Suddenly, Xia Muyun’s right hand slapped the table. Xia Yuqing almost slipped off the chair in fright.

“Royal… Royal sister…” I am your blood sister, killing your sister will be condemned by God.

“What are you so nervous for? I have something I want to talk to you alone, those girls…” Xia Muyun looked at the girls guarding the side.

Cui Er smiled knowingly: “Since the Third Princess and Niang Niang have something to discuss, Nu Bi will leave first.”

“!” Xia Yuqing was stunned. She stretched out her hand and wanted to call out to Cui Er, but Xia Muyun gave her a look and she withdrew her hand.

Hey, Cui Er, how disloyal! How can you escape at this time? You just left your master and ran away! Unacceptable! I want to deduct your monthly salary!

Seeing everyone leaving, Xia Yuqing swallowed with difficulty: “Third Royal Sister, everyone is gone, just say whatever you want.”

As soon as Xia Yuqing’s voice fell, with a bang, Xia Muyun got up from her chair. She leaned over a few centimeters in front of Xia Yuqing and said evilly: “Royal sister…”

“Huh?” Xia Yuqing leaned back and replied stiffly.

“Tell me is that Leng Ruofeng b**tard made of wood? I have been so obvious, a girl running to his house all day long, being attentive to him every day, whatever pleases him goes his way. It’s not an exaggeration that I have been docile and obedient, but…” Xia Muyun became more and more angry as she spoke. She slapped her hand on the table and snarled, “He hides from me all day long. Today…I sat down and… went into his arms, but he didn’t even move at all. He was really more awkward than Liu Xiahui*, ahhhh…I’m going crazy!”

* He was a man of eminent virtue, and is said on one occasion to have held a lady in his lap without the slightest imputation on his moral character.

“…” Xia Yuqing was stunned for a few seconds, her head blank. Suddenly, “Royal Sister, you are here to speak to me… about the Prime Minister?”

Xia Muyun paused, then turned her head and replied naturally: “What else?”

“…”

Xia Yuqing wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, then as if she had discovered something, her eyes widened. She looked at Xia Muyun in disbelief.

What did Royal Sister say just now? She said she sat in the arms of Iceberg Prime Minister? Is it possible that Royal Sister finally couldn’t bear it and stubbornly forced herself on to Iceberg Prime Minister and… failed? !
