Three Years After Falling Off the Cliff

"My lord, feed them quickly, otherwise their trip would be in vain." Lai Tai handed the snacks to the man in front of him. Suddenly, a fish jumped out of the water, splashing rain water all over the man's face when it fell.

"Pfft!" Seeing that the usually gentle and elegant Yu Tai showed a confused expression, Lai Tai couldn't hold back any longer and leaned over the side of the boat and burst into laughter.

The man wiped the rain off his face, and the girl smiled happily as she watched the clouds in the sky filled with rain, and she also smiled with her heart.

The long rain cape was blown by the evening breeze and fell on the water surface, floating up and down, becoming a gorgeous rain color in the water.

After feeding the koi, people even touched the back of a bighead carp.

"It's so beautiful." Lai Tai was looking at the reflection of the sunset glow on the lake, and was a little dazed.

The palace maid drove the boat to bring dinner to the emperor on the painted boat. There was no one left to serve him. The maid poured them a glass of wine and looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"It's been a long time since I've been able to enjoy the scenery so quietly." Lai Tai turned his gaze to the emperor in front of him, "Thank you for accompanying me to enjoy the beautiful scenery."

"You, you accompany Hua." The man handed the chopsticks to her and said, "If you weren't here today, Hua wouldn't know that even fish are so boring."

"Then let's thank each other." Lai Tai took the chopsticks from her, raised the glass with a smile and said, "Let's drink a glass of wine to today's rainy and beautiful scenery."

As the wine goes down your throat, you are familiar with the taste of rain.

"Go to your synagogue and move the tree to raise the wine for rain?"

The man nodded and said, "I promised to keep it for you. Let's drink together next time."

She didn't expect that she would remember such a trivial thing for so long just because of their casual words. When Taiyu reached out to take the wine jug, she was so careful to touch her hand with Taiyu's.

She withdrew her hand, and the man in front of her held the wine jug and poured wine for her.

Lai Taiyu glanced at Taiyu's hand, then slightly shifted her gaze and said, "Is the fish here suitable for fishing?"

"Yes." The man put down the wine pot and said, "Wenmu Garden has a lot of edible rain fish. Where are we going to fish tomorrow?"

When Lai Tai saw Tai, she forgot to look at Fang and poured herself a glass of wine, so she picked up the wine jug and filled Fang's glass.

There was no reply from Lai Taiyu, and the person behind him said, "If it's convenient for you tomorrow, you can also do it later..."

"Okay." Lai Tai picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Fang's. "Will you come to pick up the painting tomorrow?"

"Come back." The man's hands were shaking, and the wine in the cup swayed to the back of his hand and dripped onto the small table.

"Come and see the moon." Lai Tai looked up at the sky. The sunset glow had gradually faded, with only a faint light remaining in the west.

Someone stood up and lit all the rain lanterns in the painting boat. Only then did I realize that the painting boat was hung with rain lanterns. After lighting them, the boat would sprinkle flickering rain spots, like the emperor's rain stars.

"I didn't know the stars would be so bright tonight, so I asked people to prepare some lights in advance." Someone put a glass lamp on the small table where we had dinner. When the candle lit up, Fang Yu's face became more gentle. "I specially invited you to enjoy the scenery. I don't want you to go home disappointed."

Occasionally, a fish swam past the boat, as if they also wanted to see the rain and stars all over the boat.

"I don't have the heart to look at it." The starlight dotted the painting boat of the emperor. The starlight would not only be in the emperor's boat, but also in her eyes.

She drank the rain wine in her cup and said, "The stars are beautiful."

"What a beautiful rain boat."
Lu Siyue saw the boats floating on the Huanghe Garden Lake and the bright lights on the painted boats, which made her stop and take a few more looks.
Yu Mian Ruijing didn't say anything when they walked in front of her for a while. Even when they came out to visit the garden, she didn't do it for show. In fact, there was no love between husband and wife.

At that time, no one would dare to go boating in the Huanghe Garden Lake. Apart from the emperor's family of three, there would be only a few royal family members trusted by the emperor.
No matter who you are, we all want to meet you.

"Qi Nu greets Prince Ning and Princess." Mo Wen walked out from the corner and stood in front of Rui Jing and said, "Grand Princess Qi Xijing, please go somewhere else to play."

"Thank you for the reminder, eunuch. We will leave as soon as we get there." After hearing that Huang Yu was in the painted boat, Lu Siyue turned around and prepared to leave.
No wonder there weren't so many guards patrolling the road, it turns out you are good at protecting her.

Mian Ruijing did not continue to move forward, looking at the painted boats in the rain on the lake, and vaguely saw two figures of the King of Ships.
The girl in a red dress leaned over the side of the boat, picked up a lotus leaf, and handed it to the man next to her. The two sat very close to each other, and from a distance it seemed as if they were close to each other.

Mian Ruijing's eyes were filled with emotions, and he stared at the painted boat, unwilling to look away.
We can recognize it with just our eyes, and there will be people coming to us, such as the painted boat Emperor Yu Yun.

"Prince Ning?" Mo Wen smiled and made a gesture to invite them to rain. "Please."

Mian Ruijing looked at the boats, then slowly turned around and left Huanghe Garden.
The road you took was not much different from three years ago, except that this was your most awkward journey.

"It's raining tonight and the stars haven't come out yet." Lu Siyue looked up at the sky leisurely, without even looking at the rainy surface in front of her. Ruijing planned to find Lai Tai to play in two days and go boating on Lake Huang with them.

At this moment, the Emperor and the Queen were meeting in the room, staring at each other.
"Did you really see people going boating with the ladies?" The emperor was still a little unconvinced. "Really, ladies, you didn't see it wrong?"

The Queen was not angry when Fang questioned her and asked, "Do you doubt the painting?"

The emperor was afraid that the queen would pinch him, so he moved aside in fear and said, "Only you are not surprised."

As an old lady, she didn't quite understand her character, but Fang never expected that she would be so indifferent to him.
No wonder Fang was so willing to choose her as the queen, and she was not attracted by those talented rain girls. It turns out that you have not liked rain girls for a long time.

"My dear Miss Yu, you are so nice. Just go ahead and have sex. Why are you hiding something?" The emperor wanted to know, "Are you afraid that we will break up the couple?"
The Queen hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of you that you are willing to let the painters know."

"Why?" the emperor asked.

"As far as we are concerned, we are reluctant to make things difficult for her." The Queen sighed, "I am afraid that after you know Fang Yu's feelings, you will consider Tai Yu's wishes and let her be her concubine."

When the imperial power rose, the queen had a crush on Yu Nu and had no other choice but to be with the queen.

"Hua suddenly remembered that Yun Wanggui had mentioned to me a few days ago that Fang had no intention of marrying off her daughter Yu." The emperor was worried and asked, "What should I do?"

"Master Yun also mentioned this matter?"

"Just a few days ago, after Liu He almost got into an accident, Hua casually asked about the Liu family almost proposing to the Yun family." The emperor frowned with worry. "At that time, Yun Wanggui said that since he came to the cliff, Fang just wanted his daughter to live a carefree life. Fang also said that the world is always tolerant of men, and the emperor always wronged her daughter to marry, so Fang has no intention of marrying his daughter."

The couple looked at each other for a moment, then sighed and said "What a trouble."

The queen cheered herself up, pushed the emperor's arm and said, "Or tomorrow we can secretly burn some incense for our ancestors and ask them to bless us."

The emperor rained on his ancestors and his maternal grandfather's family, but he hasn't rained on her ancestors and her maternal grandfather's family. None of her four ancestors' rain has any effect, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of rain outside.

"Look, it's raining, why are you coming to see me?" The Queen stood up and walked to the window.

It is so nice to go boating on Lake Huang and enjoy the moon and stars, but when the heavy rain comes, there is no mood at all?

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said yesterday that there would be no rain tonight." The emperor was puzzled and said, "The Emperor told people about this at the painting meeting yesterday. Did Fang forget to check?"
"Let's see if it starts to rain?" Lai Tai sat in the pleasure boat, and the rain made the roof of the boat crackle.

"How do you know how long the rain will last?" The man put down the gauze curtain and said to Mrs. Lai, "You sit inside for a while, and then go and row the boat to the shore." "My dear." Mrs. Lai grabbed the man's sleeve and said, "It's raining so hard outside, let's sit here for a while, and go back when the rain stops."

"It's all Hua's fault." The man listened to the sound of rain outside and sat up next to her. "Yesterday, my father mentioned to Hua that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicted that there would be no rain tonight, but Hua forgot to check."

"Does your Highness think that it's boring to listen to the sound of rain with the Lake Emperor?" Lai Tai noticed that the Ship Emperor didn't have a chessboard, "Would you like to play two games of chess first?"

"Okay." The man behind him set up the chessboard and showed it to her.
White comes first and black comes later, you know she's coming too late so let her go first.

Normally, no one in the family likes to play chess with Lai Tai. Now it is a rare opportunity to meet someone willing to play chess with her, and Lai Tai immediately becomes more excited.

When your game is going smoothly, especially when you succeed in setting a rain trap, you should keep your eyes on the board, for fear that she will find out that you set a rain trap.

"Clap."
When the black girl settled down, she came to see Taisong's breath. It was so beautiful that no one noticed!
"Let's go in." Lai Tai happily took away several pieces of inferior meat from her, and said with great joy, "My Lord, it's your turn to watch."

"Hmm..." The man was still in the room for a long time, then moved the chess piece back to the right corner.

"Haha!" Lai Tai hurriedly took the white chess pieces to block the emperor, fearing that she would regret her move. "Your Highness, let her draw a few more chess pieces for you."

She looked so happy picking up the chess pieces, Yu Yu, and the people around her laughed and said, "Well, you, you, Yu Yu."

There was rain in the distance on the painted boat. The Jinwu Guards held umbrellas and looked in the direction of the painted boat with embarrassed expressions.
"Eunuch Mo Wen, it's raining so hard now, do we really need you to help me row the boat back?"

"It's useless." Mo Wen wiped the rain off their faces and put the wet rain dust back into his waist. "Your Highness has no plans to start, so you don't need to worry about it."
The tail lights of the painted boat were not lit, indicating that the palace needed the boats.

Looking at the lonely pleasure boat in the rain, Mo Wen would sigh in his heart, it would be better if it rains heavily, if it rains heavily, we can hide from the rain together in the boat, and later we can hold an umbrella together and get wet in the rain together...
Well, how can it be considered a good thing for you?

Lai Tai and Tai played three games of chess in a row. Each game was full of danger and fun.

It's the first time that she feels that playing chess is so boring.

"It's not raining that hard yet." She yawned and looked at the table, "Your Highness, get up. Let's draw first. You can ask for more when the rain stops."

"Let's go to the couch and sleep for a while." The woman put away the chessboard, pointed at the soft couch behind Lai Tai, and stood up to help Lai Tai put up the gauze curtain and read a book next to the painting for a while.

"Okay." Lai Tai took the rain-stained hairpin from her temples, lay down on the soft couch, and pulled a thin quilt over her body.

Perhaps the sound of the rain hitting the water and the roof of the boat was too hypnotic for you, or perhaps her image was too deeply rooted in your mind, so you closed your eyes and looked at her, absorbed in reading a book outside the gauze tent, and fell into a daze.

The pleasure boat fell silent, and no one dared to look behind them, for fear that their gaze would offend her trust in them.
The word "Huang Yu" in the book looks into Fang Yu's eyes, but it actually looks into Fang Yu's heart.
Fang flipped through a few pages of the book unconsciously, but he didn't know what he was reading.

Perhaps the sound of rain is too pleasant to your ears, and you may even have some wishful thinking, wishing you could live with it forever.

Fang touched the corner of his mouth and realized what was in Huang Yang's mind. He didn't know how long Huang Yang had been looking at him.

At first, Fang just wanted her to be alive, and later, Fang just wanted to see them again.
Later, Fang thought about Xin again and wished he could say a few words to her.
But every time you spend time with me, I look forward to meeting you again.

People are greedy, how can they be content?
Even if one reads many books by sages, one cannot control the rage in one's heart.
Day after day, year after year.

Outside Huanghe Garden, facing Ruijing stood in the corner, looking at the silent intersection with an expressionless face, without moving a step.

"Your Highness." Cen Chu said worriedly, "It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, let's go back."
Now the king will understand that you are the master of the world. The prince will appear at a place late at night, which is very appropriate.

"Cen Chu, do you think that Yunlai Tai hates Hua that much?" Mian Ruijing stared at her stubbornly. "In order to see Hua, she opposed Hua everywhere and even deliberately approached her."

You are my man, so what do you think of Fang Fang? He still has thoughts about Yun Lai Taiyu.

Cen Chu said, "But your Lord, you have not looked at the Princess."

It should be said that when the Imperial Concubine asked the late Emperor to issue an order to execute the Yun family, there was no possibility for the Prince and Miss Yun to see each other again.

boom!
There was a burst of thunder and lightning, and Ruijing's face turned pale.

"Get up, my Lord?!" Lai Tai was awakened by the thunder. She sat up and looked outside the gauze tent. The people in front of her were still sitting outside in an orderly manner, with their backs to the direction of the rain.

"Are you awake?" Hearing Lai Taiyu's voice, the man stood up, held up the heart lamp and walked to the gauze tent and said, "There is thunder outside, nothing serious."

She sat up and found that it was raining outside. She didn't know when the pleasure boat was rowed to the shore.

"Don't worry about the rain, let's go back first." Lai Tai put away her hairpin, let her hair down and walked out of the gauze tent. "Hurry up, hurry up, it will rain again soon."

"Okay." The man opened an umbrella and helped Xin Laitai to walk into the pleasure boat.

Mo Wen led the palace maids and guards to follow from a distance, not daring to get too close.

When we were almost at Yee On Residence, the rain seemed to be getting heavier again. We had to hide from the people around us with umbrellas, and ran back to Yee On Residence in a rather embarrassed manner.

"You should go to bed early." The man was still standing outside the door, not going in. Fang stood in the rain with an umbrella and said, "See you tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Lai Tai looked at the heavy rain and turned around to leave the rain. "Dear Lord, you live in Yulinhua Villa, which is too far away."

The man looked at her gently.

"Have you ever lived in the side yard of Yi'anju?" Being looked at by a pair of gentle and affectionate eyes, even though his heart was as cold as iron, he felt a little soft and said, "If you don't like it, you can stay in the side yard temporarily tonight and wait until the rain stops tomorrow before leaving."

"Will it bother you?"

"Yianju is so big, how could it bother you?" Lai Taiyu's heart softened and he looked at her, "Dianqi, what do you think?"

"That painting... please come and look at it, ma'am."
Do you see Deng Shenhai, seemingly calm and waveless, but in fact, it will be disturbed by the slightest disturbance.

The rain started at night and stopped at dawn.
Lin Xiaowu and Mian Anying stepped on the raindrops on the ground, and rushed into Yi'anju with a kite in their hands. Lin Xiaowu looked at An Jingyuyuan and knew that Mrs. Lai had not gotten up yet, so he shouted at her at the top of his lungs, "Mrs. Lai, don't sleep, get up and go fly the kite with us!"

"Greetings to Princess An and Princess Lin." Sanfu hurried out and winked at Lin Xiaowu desperately, "Princess Lin, the young lady hasn't gotten up yet, please keep your voice down."
Don’t shout “look”, if you shout too much she will come out to see!
"How can I wake her up if I speak softly?" Lin Xiaowu said in a louder voice, "Laitai, Lai..."

She paused, and saw Yu Ren coming out of the door of the side yard, his feet staggering.

"Ma-Madam, is she awake?"

Mian Anying and Lin Xiaowuyu's eyes would suddenly become clear and shocked.

Who can tell them why she came out from the side yard of Yianju?

How terrible!
