Chapter 496 Xin Che is back
Jiang Lili convinced herself in this way.
But less than a quarter of an hour later, "Clatter—"
There was another clear sound of water.
There was another kissing fish in Jiang Lili's lonely little bucket.
Two kissing fish formed a pair and were butting heads with each other.
The modus operandi was exactly the same as before. It was obvious that this kissing fish was also secretly put in by the man wearing the silver falcon mask.
Jiang Lili was angry, clenched her fists, and stood up quickly.
It would have been fine if he had mocked me once, but he mocked me twice!
She was a great backpacker, but she was bullied by a nobody.
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Jiang Lili stood up and walked angrily towards the man wearing the silver falcon mask.
When the man saw Jiang Lili rushing towards him like a cat with her fur standing on end with her skirt lifted up, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Lili got angry when she saw the buckets full of small fish beside him. She was about to kick over the buckets, but suddenly she stopped her leg.
To the people around me, isn't this behavior of mine a manifestation of impotence and rage?
At this time, Guan Yue's voice came from behind Jiang Lili: "Lili! How's your fishing? I'm back from work!"
Before Jiang Lili had time to turn around and reply to Guan Yue, she heard Guan Yue's surprised voice.
"Oh my god, you're awesome! You caught the limited number of light pink peach blossom fish in the fish pond!"
Guan Yue walked around Jiang Lili's bucket, looking at the two kissing fish in the bucket and exclaimed in amazement: "Huh? But after such a long time, how come you only caught two?"
Jiang Lili hesitated when she heard this. Was she going to tell someone such an embarrassing thing as someone threw the two fish into her bucket?
But the next moment, Jiang Lili heard Guan Yue justifying herself: "Oh, I understand. It seems that you don't like other fish and only pick the most precious ones. The quality is more important than the quantity, right?"
She touched Jiang Lili's shoulder with hers: "But you are really something, you are using your superb fishing skills to take advantage of Hou Xiaoxiao, right?"
Jiang Lili tilted her head in confusion: "Ah? What wool?"
Guan Yue pointed to the sign beside the stone bridge and said, "If anyone can catch two limited-edition light pink peach blossom fish on the same day, they will receive a concentric twin fish jade pendant."
Ah? Since catching these two peach blossom fish can get a precious jade pendant, why did this man throw these two fish into his bucket? Is he not short of money?
Wait, Jiang Lili, who is always smart, suddenly realized that she didn't seem to be able to make any detours on this matter...
Could it be that the man saw that he had not caught any fish and looked mad and pitiful, and that he was too embarrassed to have an empty bucket, so he secretly put the two peach blossom fish into his bucket out of sympathy?
Thinking about the romantic name of the peach blossom fish, the man had other fish in the bucket, but he chose these two...
And it seemed like he wanted to give me the Pisces Jade Pendant?
After figuring out the twists and turns, Jiang Lili's face turned red in an instant.
It's outrageous. I was just fishing and someone treated me like a fish!
She quickly pulled Guan Yue away from the scene, not daring to look at the man wearing the silver falcon mask again.
It's so embarrassing that I actually took other people's feelings as a mockery and provocation to myself.
Jiang Lili covered her heart. Her competitive heart was really...
I almost embarrassed myself in public!
Fortunately, I braked in time and didn't give the man in the falcon mask any harm, otherwise it would have been a big mess.
Jiang Lili didn't stop until she pulled Guan Yue to a place far away from the fishing area, and then she took a breath and took a break.
"What's wrong? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Guan Yue was confused: "You don't want the free gift? Didn't you ask me for a fishing rod before?"
"I, ah, it's hard to put it into words."
Jiang Lili held her forehead helplessly: "Anyway, I'm in a bad mood right now."
"Not in a good mood? Come on, I'll take you to have some fun!"
Guan Yue pulled her to the hall: "It's dinner time now. Let's eat delicious food while watching the stage performance. Isn't it wonderful?"
Jiang Lili nodded quickly when she heard that. It was a good opportunity for her to watch some singing and dancing, listen to some music, eat something delicious, and divert her attention. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed that she would suffocate!
Soon, the two were taken by the servant to a table with the best view in front of the central stage on the first floor.
Guan Yue handed the internal menu to Jiang Lili and asked her to order whatever she wanted. After the two of them ordered the dishes, the band sitting next to the stage began to play music to announce the official start of the performance.
Suddenly, the sound of a pipa was heard above their heads.
Jiang Lili looked up and saw a beautiful woman holding a pipa, hanging from a rope and falling from the sky.
A shimmering brocade shawl was wrapped around her arms, and she wore a dazzling crown on her head, with a garland of flowers hanging around her. Her hair was high up into the sky, and she looked like the flying beauty in the Dunhuang murals.
The dishes ordered by Jiang Lili were also served one after another, and they were delicious.
"Li Li, this is the most fragrant peach blossom wine that Xiao Xiao found after searching all over the folks. Feiyue Tower is limited to five jars per day."
Guan Yue poured Jiang Lili a glass of wine: "Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Lili wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the wine made her feel like she could faintly smell the scent of peach blossoms at the tip of her nose.
"Then I'll just take a small bite!"
With the company of beautiful women and delicious food, Jiang Lili's mood improved, and she drank and played rock-paper-scissors with Guan Yue.

The night is getting darker.
Unlike the bustling Feiyue Tower, Prince Zhao's Mansion was exceptionally quiet, until the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from the southeast gate broke the silence.
Xin Che returned home in a dark suit.
He jumped off the horse swiftly and coolly, took off the bag tied to the horse's back, hurriedly handed the reins to Cheng Jiayu who had jumped off the horse one step behind him, and strode into Prince Zhao's palace.
"Prince, do you really think of me as a groom?"
Cheng Jiayu shook her head. It had only been sixteen hours since the Crown Prince had seen his wife, but the Crown Prince was already so anxious.
He hurriedly finished the tasks he needed to do without taking a moment's rest and hurried back to the capital on a fast horse.
He suspected that although the prince looked aloof, he was actually a clingy person.
Cheng Jiayu led the horse to the stable and then went to find Xin Che.
Xin Che returned to Songheyuan, but found that Jiang Lili was not there.
He frowned slightly and carefully placed the package he was carrying on the table in the room.
Xin Che found Lingzhi and asked, "Lingzhi, where is the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Lingzhi was very surprised to see Xin Che. Shouldn't the prince be back tomorrow?
"The Crown Princess is out meeting a friend."
"We went to Suzaku Street, but I don't know exactly where that is."
"She has said that she might not be back until very late today."
Being stared at by the prince with an oppressive gaze, Lingzhi immediately and clearly told everything she knew.
Cheng Jiayu, who had just stepped into Songheyuan, heard Lingzhi's answer and raised his voice: "Suzaku Street? Isn't Princess Jin's Feiyue Tower on Suzaku Street?"
Cheng Jiayu was a little confused. Didn't Princess Jin go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother? Then who was the Crown Prince's Concubine meeting with?
But it can't be that it's Guan, the head of his family.
Guan Yue said she had to run errands for Hou Xiaoxiao and couldn't get away for the next few days.
