Chapter 130 My Wife Doesn't Know Water

"Sister Ajiao, look!" Before taking a few steps, Zhou Qiao stopped and raised her hand to point in a certain direction.

Xu Jiao was puzzled, and looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that the lotus in the imperial pond had already bloomed, but they had formed lotus pods one by one, and some poles were bent down, making them look heavy.

Xu Jiao sighed, feeling very regretful, "It's a pity, this is in the palace, otherwise the newly picked lotus pod, just peeled off the lotus seeds, would be very crisp and sweet. Moreover, the lotus seeds can also be used to make lotus seed soup, which is very delicious. tasty."

Zhou Qiao looked back at her with blushing cheeks, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My family has a village by the East Lake, and there is also a lotus pond in the village. My mother asked them to keep the lotus pods. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can find a lotus pond. So empty, I invite sister Ajiao and aunt to sit on the Zhuangzi together, then we can go boating on the lotus pond to pick lotus pods together."

The little girl probably regarded her as a bosom friend, the more she talked, the brighter her eyes became, and she was much more cheerful than when she first met.

Xu Jiao naturally nodded, and responded readily, "Okay!" When he raised his head, he saw two people approaching behind Zhou Qiao.

One is Wang Wan, who met Xu Jiao's eyes and smiled, the other...

"Don't push me, I won't go by myself?" With a timid look, she glanced towards Xu Jiao while being pushed forward. It was Wei Wuniang.Not wanting to meet Xu Jiao's eyes, his face suddenly became a little uncomfortable, he straightened his expression, walked forward, raised his chin slightly and said, "I haven't thanked you for what happened that day... Thank you!"

The voice was a little muffled, and the thank you was even more muffled in his lips, making it hard to hear clearly.

Xu Jiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that your life is only worth a thank you? This life-saving grace cannot be dismissed so easily."

Wei Wuniang frowned, her expression was alert and disdainful, as if she was saying, "Look, I know she will speak loudly." "Okay! Make an offer!"

"A price?" Xu Jiao raised his brows high, "This kind of life-saving grace, you have to have a meal of wine!"

Wei Wuniang's eyes were slightly rounded, suspecting that she had heard wrong.

But Wang Wan burst out laughing with a "puchi", elbowed Wei Wuniang and said, "Wu Niang, Ajiao is just teasing you, don't take it seriously!"

"Who said I was teasing her, but this drink must be invited no matter what." Xu Jiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Just please, I can't afford to invite you for a drink? When the time comes, I will invite you, so don't be afraid to come!" Wei Wuniang's chin was still slightly raised, she looked very arrogant.

"Why not? You can poison?" Xu Jiao was surprised.

"Poisoning won't work. But with the drinking capacity of this county lord, I can drink you down."

You talked to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and lively. When the banquet started, Wei Wuniang was already able to chat and joke with Xu Jiao.

A few people were sitting together at the banquet, but the gentlemen of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion were sitting with them. Xu Jiao glanced at Wang Wan and Wei Wuniang, seeing that even Wei Wuniang became dignified and shy , couldn't help sighing, can the emperor's arrangement be more obvious?

Xu Jiao lowered his eyes and put on a shy look like Wei Wuniang and Wang Wan, but he was less reserved than these two.

Let everyone think that she was really lucky to get the position of princess!Although in fact, it was indeed a stroke of luck.

One meal, it's so delicious that I don't know what to eat!

Xu Jiao was afraid of indigestion.However, this torture is over at least.

After the banquet, there is another activity, which is to put lanterns to pray for blessings.

Xu Jiao couldn't wait to escape from the extremely embarrassing situation right now, so he went to grab Zhou Qiao and ran away as if he couldn't wait.

On both sides of the Imperial Pond, many servants and court ladies had already been waiting, presenting the prepared river lanterns, paper and pens.

Xu Jiao played the river lantern for the first time, it was very novel, so he imitated Zhou Qiao and wrote down his wish stroke by stroke on the river lantern.

When he walked to the edge of the imperial pool and was about to release it, he saw a group of young gentlemen headed by Yang Jun walking slowly. Xu Jiao felt uncomfortable looking at them now, so he pulled Zhou Qiao away.

But she still remembered the lesson of the danger in the palace that day, so she didn't dare to go to a secluded place, so she dragged Zhou Qiao up to the Quqiao.

The two squatted on the edge of the curved bridge, leaned over to put the river lantern into the water, clasped their hands together, and made a pious wish.

A nearly round moon hangs on the dark blue sky, Xu Jiao murmured in his heart, no matter which god made this joke on me, I have already entered now, and I don’t dare to ask too much, just please Bless me to live a smooth life, it doesn't matter if life is calm and boring, as long as there are fewer waves.

Opening his eyes, he saw her and Zhou Qiao's two river lanterns slowly drifting towards the center of the imperial pool along the current, moving very smoothly. It seems that God agreed to her not too exaggerated request.

Xu Jiao was overjoyed, seeing a few noble ladies walking towards this side with river lanterns in their hands, she pulled Zhou Qiao up and walked towards the river bank.

Although the curved bridge is a bit narrow, it is not a problem for two or three people to walk side by side.

It's just that there were so many people coming from the other end, it was inconvenient for Xu Jiao and Zhou Qiao to hold hands, and after telling Zhou Qiao to be more careful, Xu Jiao let go.The two of them leaned against the edge of the curved bridge, and the noble ladies greeted Xu Jiao, and then passed them by.

Xu Jiao and Zhou Qiao also followed suit, but unexpectedly, an accident happened suddenly at this moment.

The last one among the noble girls accidentally stepped on Zhou Qiao's skirt, but Zhou Qiao didn't notice it, and when she took a step, she was pulled so that she staggered, and she jumped straight to the side of the water.

Zhou Qiao screamed in fright, Xu Jiao turned around and saw this thrilling scene, without thinking about it, she rushed towards Zhou Qiao.Although there are two-foot-high railings on the side of the curved bridge, they can't stop it...

At the very moment, Xu Jiao pulled Zhou Qiao back, but she couldn't hold back, and with a "plop", she fell straight into the water...

In the blink of an eye, watching the splashed water splash on her river lantern, the candle went out instantly, swayed twice, and then sank into the water.

It seems... This life can only continue to be turbulent.

"Sister Ajiao!"

"Mistress Yingyue!"

Zhou Qiao and the other ladies cried out in alarm.

"Come on, come on! Princess Yingyue has fallen into the water!" The panicked shouts reached the shore, there were already many people, and soon someone approached...

"What's going on?" Someone asked.

"It seems that Princess Yingyue fell into the water." Someone replied.

"What?" Banlan, who was blocked on the shore because of the crowd, suddenly changed his face, "My wife... my wife can't swim!"

Hearing this, Hongying's expression changed, and she quickly ran to the water's edge, and jumped into the water with a "plop".

He Lianshu was standing calmly by the water with her hands behind her back, but she just looked at the water surface with cold eyes, thinking that with her water quality, nothing would happen, but today's matter would inevitably make her lose face, so she suddenly heard Someone must have shouted, "Come on! I heard that the princess knows no water!"
