Chapter 173 I Really Underestimated You
Shangguan Ziling and Yun Youyou arrived at the lake, where the lake was sparkling and the mountains in the distance were looming in the reflection of the water. Although the sun was shining, the breeze on the lake brought a cool breeze and blew away the summer heat.
There were several boats quietly moored by the lake, decorated with bright ribbons and flowers, looking romantic and elegant. They chose the most beautiful boat, the boatman was a middle-aged man, wearing a blue shirt and a straw hat, looking very simple.
"Miss," Lin Jian said anxiously. It was obvious that this boat could not accommodate so many people.
Shangguan Ziling waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just wait here."
After that, Shangguan Ziling and Yun Youyou boarded the boat, and the boat swayed gently, as if welcoming their arrival.
The boatman untied the rope, and the boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the center of the lake.
As the boat moved forward, the color of the lake water gradually became deeper. The breeze blew across the lake, creating layers of ripples. The sunlight jumped on the water, forming dazzling rays of light.
The two sat at the bow, admiring the beautiful lake view. Shangguan Ziling closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if feeling the freshness and tranquility of nature.
The boat moved leisurely on the lake, and their mood relaxed as well.
Yun Youyou pointed into the distance, toward a large ship with gorgeous decorations and fluttering flags, and said to Shangguan Ziling, "Ziling, look, that's the Crown Prince's boat. The Crown Prince is here to cruise the lake as well?" Upon hearing that, Shangguan Ziling slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction Yun Youyou pointed.
I saw the big ship sailing steadily on the lake. There were several servants in gorgeous clothes standing on the deck, and the most conspicuous one was Jun Yaotian.
He was chatting and laughing with the women around him, looking relaxed and happy.
Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Jun Yaotian was poisoned by her, and although it was not fatal, he suffered unbearable pain every night. Logically, he should not have the leisure to come and boat on the lake.
However, the scene before her told her that the prince did not seem to be affected at all and was still living his free and easy life.
It seems that someone has cured her of the poison.
Yun Youyou looked at Shangguan Ziling in a daze and asked, "Ziling, what are you thinking about?"
Shangguan Ziling shook her head and said, "Nothing."
When Shangguan Ziling heard Yun Youyou's words, she was startled and looked in the direction she pointed.
Next to Prince Jun Yaotian stood a woman in a pink silk dress. She had a slim figure and a pretty face. It was her younger sister Shangguan Jiaoyun.
Shangguan Ziling raised a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes flashing with complex light, she said softly: "Oh, you are quite capable, you just came back and you hooked up with the prince, or you had already hooked up with him before you came back."
Shangguan Ziling glanced sideways and caught a glimpse of Jun Yaotian's deep eyes looking at them. She immediately understood that the prince had noticed them.
Yun Youyou pulled Shangguan Ziling's sleeve and said uneasily, "Ziling, it seems that the prince has also discovered us."
At this moment, the magnificently decorated ship slowly approached them. The flags on the ship fluttered in the breeze, as if announcing Jun Yaotian's arrival.
A sharp light flashed in Shangguan Ziling's eyes. She watched the big ship getting closer and closer to their ship with no intention of stopping. She held Yun Youyou's hand tightly.
Suddenly, Shangguan Ziling jumped up, her movements were light and agile, like a flying phoenix. Yun Youyou was frightened by her action and screamed, but Shangguan Ziling and Yun Youyou landed steadily on Jun Yaotian's ship, and there was no panic on her face.
As soon as Yun Youyou's feet stepped on the solid deck, her tense nerves finally relaxed. She couldn't help but pat her chest, as if to calm down the panic she had just felt. Her face was slightly pale, and there was still a trace of fear in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Dongqing and Qiukui also jumped onto the boat with Yun Youyou's maids. Their movements were equally clean and neat, and they landed behind Shangguan Ziling.
Shangguan Ziling stood on the big ship, facing the breeze. She looked at Jun Yaotian and said coldly, "Your Highness, long time no see."
Jun Yaotian's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with disbelief. He stared at Shangguan Ziling, his tone revealing a hint of anger and shock: "Shangguan Ziling, you actually know Qinggong! You used to be arrogant and domineering, but you were hiding your incompetence on purpose?"
Shangguan Ziling responded calmly: "Your Highness, it is too unkind of you to ram our boat. Your Highness, this is intentional murder."
Jun Yaotian's eyes were like an icy lake in winter, cold and deep. He stared at Shangguan Ziling, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts. His voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty: "Ziling, this prince will give you one more chance to cancel the engagement with the regent."
Shangguan Ziling smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her smile. She glanced at Jun Yaotian and said in a relaxed tone: "Impossible. The Regent is handsome and suave. How can I give up this good relationship so easily?"
Jun Yaotian's face instantly turned livid, his eyes flashing with anger, and he angrily said, "Get off this prince's boat! Who allowed you to board this prince's boat?"
Shangguan Ziling responded calmly: "Your Highness's boat will not collide with ours. If you invite me to come on board, I will not come!"
Jun Yaotian pointed his trembling finger at Shangguan Ziling, his face full of anger and unwillingness. His breathing was rapid and powerful, as if he wanted to burst out all his anger. He roared, "How dare you, Shangguan Ziling! How dare you contradict this prince like this? What exactly do you want?"
Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly, revealing a kind of elegance and calmness in her smile. She said lightly: "Your Highness, I am just telling the truth. Didn't you deliberately let someone give way to our boat?"
Shangguan Jiaoyun stood aside, her face gentle, her voice melodious and sweet, she said softly: "Sister, how can you speak to the prince like this?"
Shangguan Ziling turned her head, her eyes filled with a hint of amusement and teasing, she said with a smile: "Oh, sister, you are quite capable, you just came back and you have already hooked up with the prince, tsk tsk tsk tsk, I really underestimated you on weekdays."
When Shangguan Jiaoyun heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and said softly, "Sister, you misunderstood. It's not what you think."
Shangguan Jiaoyun glanced at Jun Yaotian gently, her eyes full of expectation and pleading, as if silently asking him for help.
However, Jun Yaotian was immersed in his own anger. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were burning with rage. He completely ignored Shangguan Jiaoyun's request for help.
Shangguan Jiaoyun felt disappointed when she saw Jun Yaotian didn't respond. She bit her lower lip, and her soft red lips looked particularly attractive in the sun. She lowered her head, suppressing the hatred in her eyes. Her long eyelashes covered her crystal eyes, making her look even more weak and helpless.
