Chapter 549 The General Was Rescued (24)
"It's not that my location is better, but my bait is specially made." The third prince smiled, his tone soft and gentle, making people feel comfortable and at ease like a spring breeze.
He turned his head slightly, looked at Huo Chengle who looked puzzled, and continued to explain: "Every time before I go fishing, I will sprinkle some of this special bait into the water.
These baits have a unique scent that attracts fish from the surrounding area. Therefore, the fish on my side are naturally more likely to take the bait.”
After hearing this, Huo Chengle's eyes widened with curiosity, and he said in surprise: "There is actually such a fishing method?"
She thought to herself, she only knew that people used earthworms or other insects as bait before, she didn't expect that there were people who had such special methods.
Seeing Huo Chengle's curious face, the Third Prince seemed very "generous". He reached out and grabbed another handful of bait from the small basket beside him, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe what I say, you can try it yourself!"
Huo Chengle carefully took the bait and looked at it carefully.
This bait doesn't look much different from what you usually see, but if you smell it up close, you can smell a faint, charming aroma.
She couldn't help but tilt her head, blinking her big, lively eyes, and asked, "But...how do I try this?"
At this time, the third prince Chen Jiyao smiled slightly, gently grabbed a handful of bait, and then waved his arm and threw them accurately into the river.
The baits fell into the water like raindrops, splashing tiny ripples.
Before long, fish began to gather in the river in front of them.
Seeing this scene, Huo Chengle was extremely excited, and hurriedly imitated the Third Prince and threw the bait in his hand into the river.
Sure enough, as the bait entered the water, more fish swam quickly in this direction as if they were summoned.
Suddenly, the river was bustling with activity, with fish vying for food flashing in the sparkling water.
"How about it, do you believe it now?" Chen Jiyao looked at the happy Huo Chengle with a faint smile on his face.
Then, he moved aside to make room for her and greeted her warmly, "Girl, how about we go fishing together? You can sit over here."
"Okay!" Huo Chengle responded happily, and quickly walked to Chen Jiyao and sat down.
At this moment, the sunlight was shining on them, illuminating their focused and happy faces.
The breeze blew gently, blowing up their hair and clothes, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
Huo Chengle and Chen Jiyao sat side by side fishing, and Huo Chengle would occasionally glance at the man next to him.
She thought to herself that this young man came from a distinguished family after all, and the secret recipe for the bait was probably not easy to make.
In a trance, Huo Chengle's fishing rod sank suddenly. Chen Jiyao found that the other party seemed not to notice this. He quickly dropped his fishing rod, ran behind her, and then skillfully helped her reel in the line.
Then a big fish jumped out of the water.
The people around Huo Chengle and Chen Jiyao clapped in surprise.
The two of them worked together to catch the fish and brought it ashore. When Huo Chengle was about to take the fish, the servant beside Chen Jiyao had already gone over to take the fish.
The two of them were in a good mood looking at the big fish!
Just when he was about to say something, Huo Yuan just happened to come over with Luo Yuhe, and of course, they were followed by a burden - the Fourth Prince!
"Third brother?" The fourth prince looked at his third brother and was very surprised. "Did you leave the palace today too?"
Although Chen Jiyao blamed his fourth brother in his heart for ruining his good deeds, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he said kindly, "I heard that the Queen Mother seems to like fish soup recently, so I thought of catching some for her to taste."
The current emperor has four sons. The eldest prince is both the eldest son and the queen's legitimate son, so he was named the crown prince shortly after he was born.
The second prince was born to the emperor and his cousin Concubine Ning. He was also favored because he looked like his father.
The Fourth Prince was the Queen's second son and the youngest son, so naturally he lived a good life.
Only the third prince, who was born to the emperor and a beauty with an ordinary family background, has never had much of a sense of existence.
However, he has always been regarded as gentle and polite, with decent knowledge, and he likes to learn about farming, so he has a good relationship with his brother.
If the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are in natural competition with each other, then the Third Prince is a marginalized figure in the race for the throne.
Many people felt that even the Fourth Prince was more qualified than him to hold that position.
The key point is that this person is not a "competitive" person. He is very humble, and his personality is like a ball of cotton. Over time, no one regards him as a competitor.
Luo Yuhe had also seen Huo Chengle. When she saw the fishing rod in his hand, she asked, "Sister Huo, can I try it too?"
Huo Chengle was actually reluctant to lend out her fishing rod, but the situation was stronger than she was. Just when she was about to lend out the fishing rod, she was stopped by Chen Jiyao.
