Chapter 244 Envy
"Let's get on the boat." Ruyi noticed that Mengmeng looked at her strangely, a little shy.

Emperor Qinglong boarded the ship in one step, while Ruyi and others walked on the plank of the ship, probably because their legs were not long enough.The old emperor has been standing opposite to protect several people.

"Wow, the boat is so beautiful." Mengmeng seemed to be relieved after getting on the boat.

Emperor Qinglong signaled Li Sheng to inform the people below that the ship could be sailed.

The boat slowly sailed out, Ruyi faced the light wind, and felt that this day was really good.

"We can also pick lotus seeds later." Ruyi has already made a good plan.It is best to pick lotus seeds in summer, from early July to the end of August. The lotus seeds taste more crisp and tender.

The boat soon arrived in the lake, and saw the green waves reflected in the water. The boat moved with the water, surrounded by layers of lotus flowers.

Ruyi found that the lotus pod in front of him was greenish-brown, and the lotus seed and lotus pod were slightly cracked, so he hooked the lotus pod and picked it off.

"It's quite sweet." Ruyi peeled one off and put it in her mouth.

Mengmeng was stunned when she saw it: "Concubine, Mengmeng also eats it."

Ruyi peeled off a few more and put them in the hands of the three of them: "Try them."

Mengmeng couldn't help it at first, but she seemed to think the taste was average. After finishing one piece, she didn't ask for any more.

"Let's pick more and make lotus seed soup."

Ruyi suggested, and then started to introduce the techniques of picking lotus seeds. It would be more fun to do this kind of thing yourself, otherwise it would be meaningless to sit on the boat all the time.

"A fruit is ripe when the wind blows."

After hearing what Ruyi said, Emperor Qinglong picked a lotus pod for his face, but most of the lotus seeds inside fell into the water.Being looked at by the elder and the younger, the old emperor felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose.

"These old lotus seeds that are overripe and make noise when shaken must be picked by pressing the surface of the lotus pod with the palm of your hand, otherwise the lotus seeds will fall into the water." Ruyi tried her best to control herself from laughing out loud and pretended to be serious.

Except Mengmeng is a soy sauce guy who has been waving flags and shouting from the side.Emperor Qinglong mastered the key and picked the most, and Ruyi and Chengqian also picked a lot.

If no one paid attention to his opinion, he suddenly grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and threw them towards the emperor.

The lotus seeds hit Emperor Qinglong's face. Emperor Qinglong subconsciously raised his eyes and saw a teasing and provocative smile on Ruyi's face, which made the old emperor's breath stutter.

Before Ruyi could continue, he saw two children staring blankly.It turned out that the scene of throwing lotus seeds just now was seen by Mengmeng and Junjun. Ruyi felt embarrassed for a moment and complained in his heart that he was too reckless.

Emperor Qinglong also complained that he should not have brought two small oil bottles and should have come alone with Ruyi.

The atmosphere here is just right. Several people walking by the lake were still a little envious when they looked at the boat in the middle of the lake.

"This Concubine Xi is really blessed." Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong chatted as they walked.

Since the two became partners, their relationship has been particularly good.Originally, both of them were honest-minded and did not want to compete, because the concubine who had been with the emperor for the longest time did not want to compete for favor.

"That's not true. We won't come here with envy. However, I think I'm pretty good. The emperor is very affectionate. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to be concubines based on our looks." Life is satisfying.

"Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror, and then look at the Emperor. I can't believe that I'm only one year younger than the Emperor." Concubine Shu touched her face, and it turned out that the Emperor had taken better care of himself in recent years.

"Me too, hahaha, men really age slower than women." Concubine Rong not only teased herself, but also whispered in Concubine Shu's ear, "I don't dare not take care of myself, Concubine Xi is nineteen years younger than the emperor."

"You dare to say this." Concubine Shu looked around hurriedly.

"It's okay, I just want to whisper to you." Concubine Rong said nonchalantly, and the emperor was very generous, so even if he heard it, nothing would happen.

"Concubine Xi is a nice person, not arrogant, and her two children are quite cute." Concubine Shu had a good impression of Ruyi.

"You don't say nice things to people just because of mahjong." Concubine Rong made a joke. In fact, she had no objection to Concubine Xi.

Anyway, it won't be my turn to be favored by anyone.At that time, when Chinese and American people were most favored, they would show off.Concubine Xi seems to have never been. Although she seems to be more favored than anyone else now, Concubine Xi has always kept a low profile.

"Look at the people running over there, they seem to be in a hurry." Concubine Shu saw the little eunuch running this way in the distance and hurriedly pulled Concubine Rong to stand aside.

"It seems that they are going towards the emperor. There must be something going on. It doesn't look like a trivial matter." Concubine Rong knew that if she dared to run in the palace, it must be a very urgent matter.

Seeing people riding a small boat towards the big ship in the middle of the lake confirmed what they had just guessed.

"Let's go back." Concubine Shu is more cautious. It's always right to be careful in this palace.
