    "If you have to say it, the fourth prince is the most easy-going." Xiao Qingning said.

    She came to see Yu Qiu again, because Yu Qiu had someone secretly give her two boxes of Yunpian crisps.

    Madam Yu personally taught Yu Qiu this Yunpian Crisp when she was dying, saying that she would not be able to honor Taiwei Xiao in the future, and if there is a chance, let Yu Qiu make this dessert for him.He also said that this Yunpian crisp is Xiao Taiwei's favorite food, and only she can make it. If Yu Qiu really encounters difficulties in the future, he will make this dessert and come to the door for help.

    Yu Qiu was thinking about how to repair the relationship with the Xiao family, and it took him a long time to think about it, and as expected, Xiao Qingning was attracted.

    It's just that Xiao Qingning didn't want to go to Yu's house again, the two met on the Lianhu painting boat.

    Yu Qiu frowned puzzled, "But he likes to raise poisonous insects to eat, how scary."

    "This doesn't affect his character." After Xiao Qingning finished speaking, she turned her eyes and asked suspiciously, "How do you know that he raises poisonous insects for eating?"

    "Hmm..." Yu Qiu hesitated. The eccentricity of the fourth prince in his previous life has been spread for a long time. Now everyone only knows that he raises poisonous insects, but not that he raises them for food. It stands to reason that Yu Qiu shouldn't know.

    "Your father even told you this?" Xiao Qingning expressed her dissatisfaction with Yu Xingshu.

    Yu Qiu glanced at her quietly, and whispered, "Didn't your father tell you too?"

    "I overheard him talking to his grandfather."

    Yu Qiu followed suit and whispered, "Then I was eavesdropping too."

    Xiao Qingning gave her a cold look and ignored her.

    After all, it was Yu Qiu who wanted something from others, and took the initiative to pull Xiao Qingning's sleeves to ask for peace, but she turned around and avoided it.

    Yu Qiu thought for a while, and decided to close the distance between the two families first, and then ask the royal family's secrets later.She cleared her throat and said, "Speaking of which, should I call you cousin or cousin?"

    Taiwei Xiao didn't recognize her mother, her parents were willing to be humble, but they didn't want her to be looked down upon, so they never mentioned Xiao's family with her, and Yu Qiu didn't even know Xiao Qingning's age.

    "In your dreams."

    Seeing that Xiao Qingning was finally willing to talk to her, Yu Qiu hurriedly followed her and coaxed her, "Well, I'm not worthy, so I'd better call you Miss Xiao. Master Xiao and Taiwei Xiao must love you very much, what are you sure about?"Let me tell you. Unlike me, there is no mother education, only a father is still busy with official duties all day long, and now his reputation is also bad, afraid of being laughed at by others, today when he leaves the house, he will cover up..."

    Obviously both are the granddaughters of the Xiao family, one is a well-known talented woman in Beijing, and the person who proposes to marry can go around Capital City, but the other is a joke in the eyes of everyone.

    Xiao Qingning's heart twitched suddenly, and she raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that the expression on her oval face was very serious.

    There is no self-pity, nor pointing and cursing, only sincere flattery.

    Xiao Qingning felt gloomy in her heart, tightly clenched the handkerchief, and said in a cold voice: "If you want to ask anything, ask quickly, I'll answer your question, you taught me how to make dim sum, so don't ask me again."

    "Okay, I'll listen to you, don't be angry, it will hurt you, my father said that you can only have a peaceful mind..." Yu Qiu met her gaze, his eyes drifted, and he lowered his head and said obediently, "I won't say anything,Tell me."

    Xiao Qingning held her breath in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are asking for, but I warn you, the royal family is not something you and I can provoke, if you are caught doing some small tricks, don't blame grandpa and my fatherruthless."

    Yu Qiu hurriedly raised his hand to promise, "I'm not doing anything, I just want to learn more and avoid them. You know, I'm so beautiful, I have to actively avoid them..."

    Xiao Qing stood up and went to the other side of the painting boat, her steps were so heavy that the boat shook.

    She couldn't take it anymore, people surnamed Yu are really annoying!

    Yu Qiu pouted secretly, wondering why she was upset again, folded his hands and waited for a while, seeing that her back was still facing him, he followed cheekily.

    The two were on a small and exquisite painting boat, with tulle hanging from the wide carved windows, rising and falling with the wind.

    Yu Qiu looked towards the lake next to her, and saw the sparkling water, fish as big as willow leaves swimming in circles, sometimes jumping into the water, and sometimes hiding under the disc-like lotus leaves.In the late spring, the lotus leaves are tender green mixed with a little light yellow, which spread across the lake and stretch into the distance.

    Just by looking at it like this, you can imagine the scene of lotus blooming everywhere in summer.

    Yu Qiu tilted his head to look at Xiao Qingning, and saw that she was staring at the lakeside intently. Following her gaze, there were only two or three pedestrians by the riverside, and there was only one place where several people gathered.

    Taking a closer look, it seemed that a young man was besieged.

    "You know him?"

    Xiao Qingning's demeanor was cold, but she was unsteady towards Shangyu Qiushi, and cast an annoyed glance at her, "You don't recognize him? You clearly saw the tall one at the palace banquet last month."

    Yu Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and saw a tall and handsome man in the center, who surrounded him like a playboy, a head shorter than him, from a distance, with red lips and white teeth, twirling a folding fan in his hand.

    The boat had sailed to the middle of the lake, and Yu Qiu couldn't see the faces of the two of them clearly, but he felt strange, so he asked, "When did I meet?"

    "Yu Second Young Lady's handkerchief fell off, and he helped to pick it up. Weren't you right there at the time?"

    It has been a long time since the palace banquet happened to Yu Qiu, she couldn't remember it at all, she shook her head again, "I don't remember."

    "You are really..." Xiao Qingning forcibly endured, and said to the servant girl, "Let the boat move towards the shore, and don't get too close."

    The servant girl responded and slowly set up the paddle.

    Xiao Qingning put down all the veils on the painting boat, ensuring that the two of them could see the outside through the gap, but the outside could not see the inside, and said softly, "The tall one is this year's Tanhualang, and the other is the fifth prince Yun Lang."

    While speaking, the breeze lifted the tulle, and Yu Qiu hurriedly held it down with her hands.

    She just wanted to inquire about the princes, but she didn't plan to meet them!If Yun Heng finds out, then the charge of colluding with the prince to murder him with sorcery will never be cleared away!

    "I remember, Tanhua Lang Tang Yinshuang, as his name suggests, has a cold face all day long and never smiles." Yu Qiu was anxious, "I remembered, don't let people paddle, let's just look at it from a distance."Okay, no need to meet!"

    "What are you afraid of?" Xiao Qingning looked suspiciously, seeing Yu Qiu's flustered eyes, frowned and told the maid to stop.

    The boat stopped and swayed gently in the water.

    "I didn't want to get close." Xiao Qingning looked at the lakeside through the tulle and said, "Have you heard of the deceased King Pan Yang?"

    Yu Qiu was puzzled, and turned to look at her, not understanding why she mentioned this one.

    More than 30 years ago, the emperor was obsessed with pills, and the government was controlled by the national teacher. There were rebels inside, and enemies outside took the opportunity to send troops.

    With the support of Taifu Fang, General Gongyi, and Taiwei Xiao, the first emperor ascended the throne, quelled the chaos and resisted the enemy, worked hard to govern, and finally achieved peace and prosperity after ten years of hard work.

    At that time, the ministers chose the first emperor without hesitation, all because King Pan Yang had eccentricities and it was really difficult for him to take on the big responsibility.

    "Don't look at me, look at the Fifth Prince." Xiao Qingning turned Yu Qiu's face to the lakeside.

    On the bank of Yangliu Lake, Yun Lang raised his fan and hooked Tang Yinshuang's chin. Tang Yinshuang stepped back several steps with anger on his face.

    Yu Qiu rubbed his eyes, turned his head to look at Xiao Qingning, and was pushed back by her.

    Seeing Yun Lang flapping his folding fan, the guards stepped forward to surround Tang Yinshuang, and then he stretched out his hand to touch the chest of Qingjun Tanhualang.

    Yu Qiu was dumbfounded.

    "The fifth prince is the same as the deceased King Pan Yang. The man prefers to wear makeup like his daughter's house. The difference is that King Pan Yang is close to the eunuchs. The fifth prince likes handsome scholars.A first-class student has been blocked by him and molested."

    Yu Qiu didn't know about this at all, and he had never heard of it in his previous life, so his eyes widened in surprise.

    "The sixth prince is about the same age as the fifth prince, but he has a bad temper and he is sick because of his cleanliness. The year before last year when he prayed for blessings, he was disheveled because of dirt on his body.Splash soup on the noodles, take off your boots in public..."

    Xiao Qingning paused, and said, "These three princes all have eccentricities, and it is difficult for them to take on great responsibilities. Only the second and third princes have a stable temperament... Do you understand?"

    Yu Qiu understood that the crown prince is related to the future of the family and the country, and these three eccentrics have long lost the possibility of succession. The candidate for the crown prince has always been between the second prince Yunheng and the third prince Yun Po.

    But do these two people really have no other hobbies?Yu Qiu remembered Yun Heng's two dreams, and his heart beat like thunder.

    She grasped the veil tightly with both hands, and tentatively said: "Didn't you say that the third prince is a beautiful thing? Is it possible? The prince, um, also has something... um..."

    "Compared to these three, the eccentricities of the prince and the third prince are not worth mentioning."

    Yu Qiu was shocked again, "Not worth mentioning?"

    Xiao Qingning was very puzzled by her reaction, "The third prince is a beautiful thing, but he has a sense of proportion. The prince is only obsessed with chess, and it is really not a eccentricity."

    Yu Qiu was a little dazed. She had stayed in the prince's courtyard for so long in her previous life. There was indeed a chessboard in the mansion, but she had never seen Yun Heng play it. Is this also called being obsessed with chess?

    She was dazed for a while, recalling Yun Heng's cruelty of duplicity and murmured: "But what if..."

    "There is no chance, the ministers of the DPRK and China see it more clearly than you."

    Yu Qiu also wanted to say that Xiao Qingning looked at her seriously, and said solemnly: "The royal family has a good face. The eldest prince died in a place of fireworks, which has already made the royal family faceless. I tell you this today to let youStay away from the royal family, it's not for you to make a fool of yourself."

    Yu Qiu immediately shut up and nodded obediently.

    "I've told you everything you want to know, should you teach me how to make cloud slices?"

    "Oh." Yu Qiu felt that she couldn't remember any more, so she took out the prescription from her sleeve in compromise and gave it to her, "Just follow it."

    Xiao Qingning looked unhappy, "Do you think I have no prescription?"

    "Ok?"

    "My mother can also make it, but the taste is different from your mother's for some reason. You have to teach me by hand."

    Yu Qiu was worrying about how to get back in touch with her, so she quickly agreed.But she was thinking about Yun Lang by the lake, and she was afraid of being bumped into Yun Heng's ears, so she excused that she was tired and made an appointment next time.

    The two agreed that when they looked at the riverside again, Tang Yinshuang and Yun Lang were nowhere to be seen, so they rocked the boat to the shore.

    The boat rope was fastened, and Xiao Qingning was supported by her maid to step onto the sideboard first. Yu Qiu's maid did not follow her into the boat earlier, but was rushing along the lakeside. Xiao Qingning hesitated, and stopped to look back to wait for her.

    Yu Qiu pushed aside the veil, and was about to pass his hand to Xiao Qingning, when he glanced casually out of the corner of his eye, and saw a new figure appearing on the riverside.

    The man was tall and tall, with a striking temperament, very eye-catching.

    She subconsciously took another look, just this one look, she was almost scared out of her wits.

    Xiao Qingning saw Yu Qiu tremble all over, and retreated to the cabin like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

    "What's wrong?" she asked.

    There was no response in the veiled cabin.

    Xiao Qingning bowed and wanted to lift the veil, but someone on the riverside behind her said softly, "What kind of difficulty has Miss Xiao encountered?"

    Xiao Qingning turned around and saw the gentle man looking down from the shore, she was startled, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and said, "My daughter Xiao Qingning, I have seen the prince."
