Liu Da was the earliest to board the painted boat and happened to hear Hua Yan saying she had tricked them into coming, which left him stunned before he burst into laughter.
With a smiling face, Hua Yan said to the laughing Liu Da, "Young Master, you have been duped. In fact, the reason we invited you to join us on the lake is because of Lady Yi Lian on your boat, whose music is truly delightful to hear."
Liu Da stopped laughing and saluted Hua Yan, "My brother and I were just wondering why we received such great honor upon our first meeting with the Crown Princess Consort. We thought it was thanks to our sister's influence, but it turns out to be due to Lady Yi Lian."
Following close behind, Liu San also entered and heard the conversation, laughing as he said, "Lady Yi Lian's musical talent is indeed unmatched. The Crown Princess Consort turns out to be someone who appreciates beautiful music. It seems we truly are kindred spirits."
