Chapter 76 Ji Shuyan's Invitation
Chapter 76 Ji Shuyan's Invitation
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Yun Juan stretched, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and slowly opened them.
She sat up, yawned, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the dining table.
A hearty breakfast was already laid out on the table, including steamed buns, porridge, and some stir-fried side dishes.
Yun Juan sat at the table, picked up a small steamed bun, took a bite, and looked out the window while chewing.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qinghe walked in. She held an invitation in her hand, a mysterious smile on her face.
"Miss, guess what it is?" Qinghe waved the invitation in front of Yun Juan!
Yun Juan barely managed to lift her eyelids and glance at the table: "Could it be some young master inviting me to dinner? I'm the betrothed Regent's Consort! Who would be so blind?"
Qinghe was stunned. Her young lady was amazing; she had actually guessed correctly!
"Miss, you're amazing! You're incredible! How did you know it was a young master who invited you? And specifically, an invitation to go boating on the lake!" Qinghe placed the invitation in front of Yun Juan!
Yun Juan had no desire to look at the invitation once she saw the cover!
"Who sent this invitation? Look at how ugly it is! It has absolutely no sense of aesthetics! It's kind of a landmine for me!" Yun Juan felt a strange feeling, like seeing an old lady wearing red and green flowery socks and high heels!
It makes you feel a chill run down your spine and even your scalp!
"It was sent by Young Master Ji, who is known in Kyoto as 'passing through a sea of flowers without a single petal clinging to him'!" Qinghe looked at the invitation cover, and it was indeed extremely ugly!
Who would have thought that this handsome young master would have such terrible taste! Not only does his young lady find it ugly, but he himself finds the invitation ugly too!
"Speaking of which, who is this Young Master Ji? Who is he? I have no grudge against him, do I? This is the third invitation already, isn't it? Is he bored out of his mind?" Yun Juan picked up the invitation with great disdain, glancing at the handwriting that looked like a dung beetle crawling on it!
Okay, now I'm even less inclined to watch!
"Miss! Have you forgotten? This young master was also on the guest list for Her Majesty the Empress's Hundred Flowers Banquet!" Qinghe reminded her!
Yun Juan suddenly remembered that the one with the shiny slicked-back hair last time was him. It was him who insisted on asking her to dance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet with his greasy hair!
"Qinghe, tell him, go! I have to go! I want to see what he's up to with that face full of freckles!" Yun Juan impatiently picked at her ear, and suddenly her favorite steamed buns didn't taste so good anymore when she thought about the freckles on his face!
I glanced at the edamame on the table! Well, I really have a poor appetite today!
Yun Juan tidied herself up in front of the mirror and then couldn't wait to go to the lakeside.
She wanted to see what Ji Shuyan was up to and who was behind him!
She wouldn't believe someone suddenly approaching her for no reason!
The young master of the Ji family had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw her, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
Yun Juan wore an elegant long dress, looking as beautiful and refined as a fairy.
Her long hair was gently tied up, with a few strands falling beside her ears, adding to her graceful and gentle appearance.
Her face was as white as snow, and her features were exquisitely beautiful, especially her bright, large eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the sea.
The young master of the Ji family stood on the boat, watching tenderly as the person in front of him stepped onto the small boat.
The boatman gently rowed the boat, and the small boat slowly sailed towards the center of the lake.
A gentle breeze ripples across the water, creating layers of waves on the lake's surface.
The young master of the Ji family stood quietly, his gaze always following Yun Juan, as if he wanted to remember this beautiful moment forever.
The atmosphere on the ship was relaxed and pleasant, and the young master of the Ji family kept trying to find topics to talk about.
They discussed poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, sharing their insights and feelings.
Rather than saying they discussed it together, it would be more accurate to say that Ji Shuyan and Yan Yan were discussing it on their own, and Yun Quan was almost falling asleep listening to them!
Ji Shuyan had been pretending to be a charming and elegant man, with his words and actions revealing a refined temperament!
Yun Juan was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open! As for what he said, she didn't hear a single word!
The main problem is that the boat is rocking so much that it almost made her throw up her leftovers!
Who said that boat trips in ancient times were pleasant? If they keep rocking like that, she'll keep vomiting!
"Young Master Ji! Did you eat chive dumplings this morning?" Yun Juan looked up and asked a strange question!
Ji Shuyan was stunned by Yun Juan's question. Why was she suddenly asking him what he had for breakfast?
Could it be that she's concerned about me? And I've already won her over?
Hmph! Yun Rong spent so long talking to me about how high her standards were and how hard it was to win her over. Look, I've already won her over!
Everyone asks me what I ate for breakfast; isn't that a subtle way of showing they care about me?
“Yes, Miss Yun, we’re so in sync! You even know what I ate this morning. Isn’t this fate ordained by heaven?” Ji Shuyan kept winking at Yun Juan!
Yun Juan glanced at him twice. Okay, okay! His face was already a mess with pockmarks, and now his eyes are twitching too!
This guy is really unlucky. God closed one door for him, but he didn't expect that God would close the window for him too!
"Actually... that's not fate, it's fate between the chives stuck in your teeth and me! You have chive leaves stuck in your teeth!" Yun Juan pointed to his mouth, and just thinking about the greasy words he had said made her feel a chill!
"No... I'm sorry! Miss Yun, please excuse my embarrassment!" Ji Shuyan didn't show any awkwardness, but quickly ran to the stern of the boat to pick his teeth!
After finishing cleaning and returning, the small boat had unknowingly approached the center of the lake.
Ji Shuyan wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he quickly returned and enjoyed the scenery of the lake and mountains with Yun Juan, explaining as they went, and experiencing the tranquility and beauty of nature.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sunlight shone on the lake, creating a sparkling and breathtaking scene.
As the boat sailed into the middle of the lake, Ji Shuyan suddenly stood up and recited a poem to the distance.
Yun Juan rolled her eyes speechlessly, forced a smile, and clapped her hands.
At this moment, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, adding a touch of poetry to the lake.
Ji Shuyan tried to gently take Yun Juan's hand, but Yun Juan turned away to avoid it!
Is this guy really not afraid of death? Daring to steal a woman from the Regent?
"Young Master Ji is truly a man of great talent and courage! I didn't expect him to recite the poem so well, and to capture such a beautiful scene so perfectly!" Yun Juan smiled, watching Ji Shuyan with an air of anticipation.
"Miss Yun, you flatter me!" He had used up all his knowledge just now, and he didn't even understand the meaning behind Yun Juan's sarcastic remarks!
