Chapter 43 Bridge of Sighs

............

"I'm praising you." Yun Fan whispered this semester.

"Do you praise people so much?" This semester, I still feel that Yunfan is an insult to her personality, as if Zhou Xiaoqing is an eye-opener.

"Okay, I was wrong." Yun Fan said later.

"Yunfan, you still need to pay attention to your identity. How can you admit that you are wrong to a girl?" Only Min Wen and Yun Fan walked behind, and Min Wen said.

"You don't understand that you can enjoy equal treatment with her. I'm not Your Highness, and she is not a nameless girl. I won't suppress her with power. There is nothing to say or false compliments. This is the life I have always wanted, so try not to destroy this peace. You see, she seems to be bold, but once I asked her to listen to me, she wouldn't be Zhou Xiaoqingle now. She is actually very timid.

"Ha ha, this idea is curious, but I have never thought of it. It's a little deviant. Some things are destined to be good. Who will let us be born in the royal family?

"She often says to me that people are afraid that you respect you, not yourself, but the power in your hands. Once you are nothing, people will not be afraid of you. Sometimes I think, what is the meaning of my existence? Is it just an attachment of power? Zhou Xiaoqing said that a person has no power and makes people respect him from the bottom of their hearts, which is the real ability.

Min Wen stopped talking and didn't know if he agreed with what Yun Fan said, "It's really a strange woman, so you like her?"

"What are you two talking about over there? Why don't I join in?" Zhou Xiaoqing came over with three strings of sugar-coated haws and handed them to Min Wen and Yun Fan.

"No, last time I finished eating this--" Yun Fan waved his hand repeatedly and refused directly. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoqing thought of the incident that Yun Fan was forced to run to the women's toilet and couldn't help laughing softly. His eyes flowed and he looked at Min Wen.

"What about you?"

"I don't like sweets." Min Wen also refused, but this time with a smile. It seems that he had a happy conversation with Yun Fan just now, which also surprised Zhou Xiaoqing. It turned out that Min Wen really didn't look annoying at all.

Seeing that this iron-faced prince's smile could be comparable to a flash in the pan, Zhou Xiaoqing did not care about his rejection of Zhou Xiaoqing's kindness, but also reported it with a light smile.

"Then let's continue to walk forward. Let's find a place to eat first. Only when we are full of wine can we be interested in playing with other things." Zhou Xiaoqing held sugar gourd in both hands and walked while eating. Finally, she turned around and smiled cunningly. "Don't worry, this time it's not a roadside stall. Let's go back to find a quiet and decent place." This is obviously said to Yun Fan. If he eats something that should not be eaten by mistake, it will be the failure of the tour guide.

The three came to the "Food Building" and stopped.

"What do you think, two masters? This store seems to have the loudest signboard in this area. It's better to have a look.

"It's all up to you." Yun Fan nodded and walked into the store with Min Wen.

It seems that many dignitaries came here to eat. The second child of the shop saw that the two princes around Zhou Xiaoqing were extraordinary and dressed differently from ordinary people.

"guest, do you want to hit the top or stay in the hotel?"

"Please prepare an elegant room and don't be disturbed." Zhou Xiaoqing took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to the second brother's hand. The second brother's face immediately bloomed, "Yes, yes, guest, please inside."

Looking at the shop Xiaoer smiling so attentively, Zhou Xiaoqing felt so happy and generous to others, which was what she was most willing to do.

The layout of the elegant room still has a charm, similar to that in the first-class building, but there is no skylight for watching songs and dances. Coming here, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arises spontaneously, and it is not easy to enjoy the services of others. Not to mention how happy Zhou Xiaoqing is.

Because Xiao Er was rewarded by Zhou Xiaoqing, he was very diligent and kept running up and down to greet him, "Xiao Er, order all the signature dishes in your store. Also, a pot of good wine.

"Yes, girl, wait a moment, and the dishes will be ready immediately." Xiao Er went out immediately. There was a pot of tea on the table. Zhou Xiaoqing got up and poured two cups and put them in front of Min Wen and Yunfan. "Let's have some tea first."

"Bear by the way, what's the special plan today? It's not about eating and wandering around the street." Yunfan took a sip of tea and said inadvertently, because no matter how you look at it, it was Zhou Xiaoqing who was having fun by herself, and Min Wen and Yun Fan became their followers instead.

"Then you told me to come up with something for a while, and I can't run far. There are only these things I can do around here." Zhou Xiaoqing was dissatisfied with why Yunfan had so many conditions. "Don't worry, how about we go to the lake and enjoy the delicious food and beautiful scenery in the lake and mountains?"

"Eating again? You greedy cat." Yun Fan smiled, and it seemed that the girl's top priority was to eat.

Food is the first necessity of the people. You have never been hungry, so you can't feel the urgency of needing food.

"Why, didn't you have food in Minwen Mansion?" Yun Fan asked with a smile.

"No," Zhou Xiaoqing can't complain about the bad food in Jingwang Mansion. "It's just that I eat too much, okay."

Min Wen opened the tea leaves floating in the cup with a tea lid, took a sip, and smiled without saying anything.

"Min Wen, are you bored too?" Yun Fan asked.

"It's okay." Putting down the tea, Min Wen's face returned to his previous calm.

At this time, all the dishes of the second child in the restaurant have come up. They are really full of dishes. Roast chicken, stewed duck soup, braised fish, crispy pork belly, and small yellow flowers... Zhou Xiaoqing is too busy to eat.

"Please use it slowly." When the table was full, the second child of the store retreated.

"The second child in this store is really good at doing business. He said it was a signature dish, but he actually brought so many dishes." Yun Fan thought that three people ate a little too much of this.

"Okay, don't say it. Don't worry, I will be responsible for solving all these things." Zhou Xiaoqing stared at Yun Fan and knew that Yun Fan blamed himself for not paying attention when ordering, so she let the shopkeeper kill one.

Min Wen and Yun Fan stopped their chopsticks without eating much. They drank a little wine and talked about the affairs of the court. Zhou Xiaoqing couldn't understand it. She simply ate it. Originally, she thought it was eaten by three people, but now only Zhou Xiaoqing alone to solve it. She just praised Haikou and said that she would not waste this table of delicious food. Look at it now. Come on, there are many difficulties to overcome.

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it." Yun Fan looked at Zhou Xiaoqing, who was obviously full but still stuffed it into his mouth, and comforted him.

"No, I'm okay." Zhou Xiaoqing didn't mean to stop, "What a pity it's wasted. It's a sin..."

"You will get sick in this way. Don't eat it. Xiao Er--" Min Wen said, and Zhou Xiaoqing didn't dare to eat it. It's the prince's order.

Walking out, her stomach was very uncomfortable, and she even felt pain. Zhou Xiaoqing touched her swollen belly and cried bitterly. Yun Fan and Min Wen walked lightly in front. From time to time, he turned around and urged Zhou Xiaoqing to go faster.

"Alas, the lives of the poor can't be spoiled. Look at these people. It's really stinky." Zhou Xiaoqing couldn't keep up anyway, so she climbed over slowly, frowned behind, and despised the behavior of the two people in front of her.

Yun Fan and Min Wen stood far away from the dock and waited for Zhou Xiaoqing to move over slowly. After a long time, Zhou Xiaoqing moved here. After renting a small boat and the three entered the cabin, Yun Fan and Min Wen were very interested. Poor Zhou Xiaoqing covered her indigestion stomach alone and frowned deeply.

"Can't you see that I feel uncomfortable?" Zhou Xiaoqing took a resentful look at the two men and said it was not funny. Is the appearance of wine and joy being filming an ancient costume drama? Your Highness. I want to go out to get some air.

"Go ahead." Yun Fan didn't look back, but still talked and laughed with Min Wen. Zhou Xiaoqing was helpless. She came out by herself and watched the driver slowly swinging her oars.

"Grandpa, is this difficult?"

The boatman turned around and saw that it was Zhou Xiaoqing. He said with a smile, "The old man has been at the helm of this Mingbo Lake for 30 years. Whether it is a strong wind or a big wave, it is not difficult for me to beat me."

"Really? That's awesome. This lake is called Mingbo Lake. It's so big and beautiful. Zhou Xiaoqing praised the wind blowing from the lake.

"Does the girl not know that this is Mingbo Lake?" The ship looks like an alien.

"Well...of course I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. I'm not a local." Zhou Xiaoqing quickly explained that she was not willing to accept being flattered.

"The bridge ahead!" Zhou Xiaoqing excitedly pointed to an arch bridge made of white jade across the lake and shouted.

"That's the bridge of sighs."

"Bridge of Sighs, what a sad name." When Zhou Xiaoqing heard the name, she was deeply touched somewhere in her heart. The voice has also become smaller.

"Yes, this is a legend here. A long time ago, a girl met a talented scholar on this bridge and fell in love at first sight. But the scholar did not know that the girl fell in love with him. At that time, the scholar would study under the bridge every day. When the girl saw that he was so hard, she secretly prepared meals every day. Later, the scholar went to the exam and came back after being the champion, and had to reward the kind-hearted man who had been silently supporting him without a name. The girl heard that the scholar wanted to thank her. Li is happy and worried, because the scholar is now honored to return to his hometown, and he has done something, but he is just a poor daughter with nothing, and there is even an ugly scar on his face. He feels that the scholar will certainly be disappointed to see him like this. She told a good sister in the same village what was on her mind. The good sister was very beautiful but vicious. She pretended to be a kind girl and told the scholar that she had been taking care of him. The scholar was grateful and decided to marry the so-called good sister. On the wedding day, the girl stood on the bridge for a day and never had the courage to tell the scholar that maybe she was a beautiful woman in the scholar's heart. Later, she fell ill and finally died.
