Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 286 You Want to Pick Every Persimmon You See

The shadow falcon immediately bent down, took off its boots and socks, and neatly placed them on the shore.

The trouser legs are rolled up above the knee.

Feng Xi was a beat slower than Ying Falcon, and when he took off his socks, a stone poked his sole.

He bared his teeth but didn't dare to make a sound.

The two rolled up their trouser legs and slowly walked into the river.

Shadow Falcon walked steadily, but Feng Xi stepped on a slippery stone and swayed. She quickly grabbed Shadow Falcon's arm.

The two walked to the middle of the river, one after the other.

Su Wuli squatted on the bank, watching curiously as Yingjun and Fengxi bent over and caught fish in the river.

She turned her head to the side, and Yu Chen had already sat down next to her, pulling a handkerchief from his sleeve.

Then I took her hand and wiped her fingers one by one.

The texture of the cotton fabric brushed against her skin, leaving a slightly rough feel.

He wiped very carefully, from the fingertips to the base of the fingers, and then from the base of the fingers to the palm and the back of the hand.

Only after wiping did I fold the handkerchief.

Su Wuli turned it over and looked at it; it was clean and tidy.

The sound of water splashing in the river caught her attention.

Feng Xi bent over and splashed his hands into the river, water splashing all over Ying Falcon's pants.

Shadow Falcon glanced down at his soaking wet trousers and glared at him.

Feng Xiqian chuckled, shrank his neck, and continued to slack off.

After a while, he straightened up, and there was a fish in his hand.

Its tail swung back and forth in his palm, splashing water droplets everywhere.

Feng Xi held up the fish and shouted towards the shore, "Got it!"

The fish was still wriggling in Feng Xi's hand.

Su Wuli's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but stand up and take two steps forward, then stop and look back at Yu Chen.

"Got it—" she said, pointing to the fish in Feng Xi's hand.

However, before he could finish speaking, the fish in Feng Xi's hand flicked its tail and slipped out of his palm.

It fell into the water, splashing up a small spray.

Feng Xi looked down at her empty hands and froze instantly.

Shadow Falcon stood beside him, a fish appearing in his hand at some point.

It's more than twice the size of the previous one.

The fish's tail was still swishing, and water droplets splashed all over Feng Xi's face.

Feng Xi wiped her face and looked at the fish in Ying Jun's hand. "You threw it in my face. Take it away from me."

Shadow Falcon's lips curled slightly upward as he walked ashore in a good mood.

Then place the fish on the stone slab on the shore.

The fish bounced on the stone slab several times and then stopped moving.

Su Wuli couldn't resist walking over and squatting down to look at the fish.

Chuhe and Qiaosheng couldn't help but come over to look after the fish, poking its belly with their fingers.

The shadow falcon went back into the river, clasped its hands together in the water, and when it straightened up, there was another fish lying in its palm.

He strode up and placed the fish on the stone slab; the two fish were side by side and about the same size.

Feng Xi stood in the river, looking anxious, his hands groping around in the water.

I touched a rock and thought it was a fish, so I scooped it up and took a look.

Throw away.

He found another dead branch, picked it up and took a look.

Then I threw it away.

Shadow Falcon stood on the bank watching him struggle in the river, but did not go down to help.

Su Wuli squatted beside the stone slab, watching the two fish. She ran her fingers lightly across the fish's backs, feeling the smooth, slippery scales.

She subconsciously looked up at Yu Chen, "Look, what a big fish!"

Yu Chen chuckled softly and nodded. "Mm."

Su Wuli had seen enough, so she stood up, walked to the riverbank, squatted down, and washed her hands in the water.

I walked back and sat down next to him; the breeze felt so comforting.

Without realizing it, her head rested on his shoulder.

The wind blew, and her hair flew onto his face.

Su Wuli lowered her head and buried her face in his shoulder.

The two shadow falcons were still fishing in the river.

She was leaning on Yu Chen's shoulder, almost falling asleep, when she vaguely heard another splash in the river.

I don't know who fell again, but the corners of my lips unconsciously turned up.

But he didn't open his eyes.

Yu Chen's hand encircled her waist, supporting her body.

After a while, Su Wuli opened her eyes when she heard them go ashore.

He then stood up and went to take a look.

Feng Xi came up from the river, holding a small fish in his hand.

It was lifted up and shaken toward the shore, splashing water droplets everywhere.

The shadow falcon bent down, strung up all the fish it had caught, and carried them back home.

Chuhe squatted on the shore, holding a short knife in her hand.

After taking the fish from the falcon, he skillfully began to scale, gut, and remove its internal organs.

Qiaosheng held a wooden basin beside her. Chuhe put the cleaned fish into the basin to wash away the blood, and then picked up another one.

Su Wuli squatted down next to Chuhe and watched.

They kept getting a little closer, and then a little closer still.

Her nose almost touched Chuhe's elbow, and Chuhe turned her head to look at her.

He chuckled and said, "Be careful, young lady, don't get splashed."

"Mm." Su Wuli nodded and took a small step back while squatting down.

After processing all the fish, Chuhe put them in a basin and washed her hands.

Then he took a small porcelain jar from the side.

When the lid was opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out, a mixture of ginger, garlic, and something else.

Su Wuli couldn't name it, but she could smell its fragrance.

Chuhe pinched a pinch of seasoning with her fingers and spread it evenly on the fish.

Su Wuli stared blankly at the small porcelain jar.

Chuhe saw her expression and burst out laughing.

"Young lady, His Highness already knew you wanted to catch fish."

She closed the porcelain jar and placed it aside, then picked up the fish that had been coated with seasoning and placed them one by one into the wooden basin that Qiaosheng was carrying.

"These seasonings were prepared by the prince before he set off."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli looked surprised.

Looking down at the marinated fish in the wooden basin.

"What else would you like to see, young lady? I'll show you."

Chuhe's voice was tinged with laughter.

Su Wuli met her smiling eyes and suddenly felt her face flush.

Why does it feel like Chuhe's words are... like she's coaxing a child?

She shook her head to dismiss the thought, then stood up and turned around.

Yu Chen was standing not far behind her.

He was looking at her at that moment.

Su Wuli walked up to him and looked up at his face.

Unable to contain my curiosity, I asked, "How did you know I wanted to catch fish?"
