Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 39 Design
Li Taiwei didn't have time to react, Dafu strode forward, quickly raised his hand to block it, and the teacup fell to the palace lady's side.

There was only a crisp sound, and the tiles shattered to the ground.

The little lady's legs softened, and she knelt down with a pale face:
"Slaves should die! I beg the princess to calm down."

Nian Xia also turned pale with fright, and hurried forward to see if Li Taiwei was injured, seeing that she was well, she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Dafu again.

"Dafu, are you hurt?"

Nian Xia asked worriedly.

Dafu brushed off his wet cuffs, looked at Nianxia, ​​shook his head and smiled.

"Which palace are you serving in? Acting so recklessly! Where are you in charge of the nanny?"

Nian Xia turned cold and scolded sharply.

The little maid trembled in fright, bowed her head and kowtowed:
"The servant girl is from Lanyue Palace. The servant girl has just entered the palace not long ago. I beg the princess to make amends."

Li Taiwei stared at the prostrate maid, her brows slightly raised.

"How did you know that I am the princess not long after entering the palace?"

The little palace maid trembled even more:
"Just now, the maid in charge quietly pointed out the nobles one by one to the servants. The princess has a fair complexion, and the servants recognized them at a glance."

Li Taiwei raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the little palace maid whose body was mostly splashed with tea, and said in a low voice:
"Forget it, go down and change your clothes."

The little maid kowtowed as if she had been pardoned and hurriedly withdrew.

Nian Xia frowned, glanced at the tiles on the ground, and said in surprise:
"Princess, this little maid can't even take care of cleaning up, why is she so panicked?"

Li Taiwei looked at the stumbling background of the little maid, and said:

"Dafu is not familiar with the terrain of the palace. Follow her quietly to see who this little palace lady is meeting with. Don't follow too closely. Don't show your feet. Go early and return early."

Nian Xia showed a dignified expression, nodded, turned around and followed.

Li Taiwei pursed her lips, looked at Nian Xia's figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, then looked away, and said to Dafu:

"Your cuffs are wet a lot, go change your clothes, I'll wait for you in the gazebo in front."

Dafu glanced in the direction of the gazebo, leaning against the Yeting Lake, surrounded by only one or two court ladies patrolling back and forth, he said worriedly:

"I'll go to the gazebo with the princess to rest for a while. It's windy in Hubei. After a while, the clothes will be dry."

Seeing that her cuffs were not much wet, Li Taiwei nodded.

The master and servant just went to the gazebo to sit down, when a gust of wind blew out several of the Pisces Palace lanterns hanging high at the four corners, and the gazebo was suddenly darkened.

Li Taiwei didn't care, chatting with Dafu while looking at the direction where Nian Xia had just walked out.

"Princess, look! Someone is coming by boat!"

There are very few river beaches in Xiliang, and Dafu has never been on a boat, so he couldn't help but excitedly said:

"Huh? It looks like Lu Shizi on the boat!"

Dafu had suffered in Lu Xiao's hands, so he lowered his voice vigilantly.

Li Taiwei looked in the direction Dafu pointed, and saw a small flat-leaf boat paddling in Yeting Lake from a distance.There were only two people on the boat, and Lu Xiao, who was standing at the bow, was shaking a folding fan in his hand which was quite rare. He was dressed in a brocade robe and silver crown, and he looked like a dog.

There was another person behind him who was vigorously rowing the oars, but he was not tall, only reaching Lu Xiao's half waist.

Is it a child?
This old man wants a child to row the boat for him?
Li Taiwei pursed his lips, and couldn't help but greet Lu Xiao's ancestors in his heart.

Yeting Lake is between Taihe Palace and Qiwu Palace, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't come to the women's side.

Li Taiwei was thinking about something when the boat got closer.

Suddenly, hearing a "plop" in front, a maid exclaimed:

"Girl——! Girl—! Come on—! Come on—!"

Li Taiwei and Dafu were startled, they couldn't help standing up and looking around.

At this time, a woman fell into the water and happened to be close to the bow of Lu Xiao's boat.

Li Taiwei leaned over and looked over, it was far away and it was dark, the woman couldn't see clearly, but she could vaguely see that she was wearing a goose yellow dress!She obviously doesn't know how to swim, her hands fluttered wildly in the water, her head popped out from time to time, and she panicked and called out for help.

The maid on the shore was also terrified, and tried to go into the water several times, but the water overflowed her waist and couldn't reach the skirt of the woman in the water, so she could only scream for help to Lu Xiao, who was standing on the bow in the middle of the river.

Mrs. Li was stunned, what's going on?Where did this girl come from?
Looking around again, the maids who had been lighting up the lamps to make rounds just now were nowhere to be seen, and the entire long corridor was empty except for her and Dafu.

No, this thing is weird!
At this time, Lu Xiao, who was standing on the boat, also froze, staring at the woman thumping in the water vigilantly, with an ugly expression on his face.

The little boy behind him also forgot to row the boat in shock, and ran to Lu Xiao in a few steps, the boat shook suddenly a few times, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Xiao's robe with one hand, managed to stabilize his figure, and timidly looked at the struggling woman in the water , trembled:
"Brother, we...don't we save people?"

With a cold face, Lu Xiao raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see anyone else.There was some distance between Li Taiwei, the palace lantern was blown out by the wind earlier, so no one would notice that he was hiding in the dark.

With a sullen face, Lu Xiao closed the folding fan with a swipe, put it on his waist, turned around, drew out the oar, and handed it to the woman who fell into the water.

The woman subconsciously grasped the wooden pulp tightly, and then raised her head out of the water, took a deep breath, and coughed vigorously because of choking on the water.

When the maid on the bank saw this, her heart sank halfway, and Fang wanted to thank her loudly, so she made Lu Xiao stare blankly, and her body froze.

Lu Xiao stared coldly at the still frightened woman in the lake, then turned his head and glanced at the younger brother who was huddled beside him, his face was very gloomy.

It was rare for Li Taiwei to see Lu Xiao deflated, and he couldn't help but feel happy!
It's really unexpected!He, Lu Xiao, will also have a day of being plotted against!
If the girl who fell into the water is rescued today, regardless of her status, the old widower must marry her!
Gee
Li Taiwei couldn't help opening her mouth and laughing, suddenly choked on the wind, bent down and coughed several times, when she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, it was too late.

Hearing the sound of pointing his toes, Lu Xiao rose into the air, tapped a few times on the water, and landed firmly in the gazebo.

Li Taiwei covered her mouth and raised her eyes in embarrassment, and she saw Lu Xiao's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, full of evil spirits.Recognizing Li Taiwei at this moment, his eyes suddenly became clear again, and his originally gloomy expression also loosened a bit.

"Why are you here?"

Before Li Taiwei could answer, Lu Xiao frowned again:

"Didn't you arrange this?"

When Li Taiwei heard this, she lowered her face:

"Damn! Look at what you're capable of, I think you're just a broom!"

Glancing at the flopping figure in the water, Li Taiwei raised her lips again, and said from the bottom of her heart:
"However, congratulations, Lu Shizi!"

Lu Xiao almost turned into a puffer fish!

Seeing Li Taiwei secretly winking at Dafu, and the two of them were about to rub their feet with oil, Lu Xiao sneered, gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Taiwei! If you dare to come out of this gazebo today, I will throw you into the water together. Anyway, if you marry one, you will marry, and if you marry both, you will be married together! I will also let you enjoy the joy of my young master!"
