Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 607
On the imperial garden side, all the beautiful women came, but after Li Ruyi checked carefully, she found that Wang Zhanyue was missing.She looked again at the banquet, and found that Concubine Xi also quietly left the banquet at some point, so she called Ruixiang and asked her to look for it nearby.

Wang Zhanyue said neither humble nor overbearing: "Where is the empress, the women of the people have always known the superiority and inferiority, and at the same time they can distinguish right from wrong."

"You are very good at speaking with your sharp mouth." Concubine Xi said with colder eyes, "I heard that you were selected by Princess Xian?"

Wang Zhanyue paused, and replied, "Yes."

When the lake wind blew, Concubine Xi took a deep breath and said, "Then do you know what kind of person Princess Xian is?" I have seen her, she left the capital before entering the palace, but I also heard that she is a vicious girl who once seduced the emperor but then went to seduce the virtuous king, you were chosen by her , presumably she must have taught you some tricks on how to seduce the emperor?"

Wang Zhanyue said unhurriedly: "I don't know what kind of people's daughter Xian Wangfei was before, but the people's daughter only knows that the prince and the princess are now happily living together in Gusu. Back then when Nan Zhen was defeated and came back with outstanding achievements, it should be more than enough to enter the harem as a concubine. Now that the princess is not in the capital, she cannot confront Concubine Xi, but Concubine Xi said such words in front of the ears of the women, It’s a bit suspicious that you can’t eat grapes but say grapes are sour.”

Concubine Xi was so angry that she squinted her beautiful eyes and looked at Wang Zhanyue, and said, "No wonder she chose you. Is this your mouth that makes you stand out?"

Wang Zhanyue said: "Minutes don't think it's superior to be quick-talking for a while. The reason why Princess Xian chose me is that I must have my superiority. It's just that I haven't shown it to the emperor, so I forgive the people." Girls can't show their mothers."

"I really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. Do you think that with the support of the virtuous princess, you can walk sideways in this harem, and you will definitely be favored by the emperor? In the harem, my palace has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and you are not allowed to speak up here. Time!" Concubine Xi was completely enraged, and besides, she deliberately stopped Wang Zhanyue to trouble her, not only made her unable to see the emperor tonight, but also drove her out of the palace in the shortest possible time, yes In a low voice, she ordered the servant girl beside her, "Cuihuan, give Bengong the palm of her mouth!"

"Yes!" Cuihuan took two steps forward aggressively, aimed at Wang Zhanyue's face and slapped it vigorously.

It's a pity that before that slap fell, Wang Zhanyue suddenly raised her hand and strangled Cuihuan's wrist.Cuihuan pushed down hard, and found that her strength of a servant girl was not as strong as that of a young lady.

Concubine Xi became even more furious, and said, "You are so courageous! How dare you fight back!"

"If you want to slap my mouth just because you have said a few words to your empress, forgive me for not being able to do so. Even though your empress has received divine favor, she can't do as she pleases." Wang Zhanyue slowly raised her head, her eyes turned cold , looked at Cuihuan, then looked at Concubine Xi who was furious.It was the first time she met Concubine Xi face to face. Before, she had lowered her head and never looked at Concubine Xi's face carefully. Now she was stunned when she fixed her eyes. Although the light was dim, she could see the astonishment in her eyes. I saw Princess Xian.

Concubine Xi snorted and said, "Why, did you feel so shocked after seeing the appearance of this palace?"

Wang Zhanyue was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled clearly, and said: "Minister finally understands why the empress is favored, why she hates Princess Xian so much, and why she only targets the women."

Concubine Xi seemed to have been exposed for something embarrassing, her face was very angry.She knew in her heart that this was no secret, even the entire harem knew why she was favored, it was because of her face, not because of her person.But she had to use her face to try her best to keep more of the emperor's favor, and even his heart.Day after day, it was like a thorn in her heart, deeply ingrained.

Now that Wang Zhanyue has said this matter herself, Concubine Xi only feels that a rush of blood rushed into her brain and drowned her reason.Without saying a word, she immediately pushed away the servant girl Cuihuan, and directly raised her hand to fan Wang Zhanyue.Wang Zhanyue leaned back to dodge, and the two had a dispute by the lake.Then Wang Zhanyue's heart sank, and it was useless to continue arguing with Concubine Xi here, so she simply jumped into the lake when Concubine Xi raised her hand again and wanted to hit her.

Puff.

Concubine Xi was stunned.

Someone shouted behind him: "Come on! Someone fell into the lake!"

Concubine Xi never expected that Rui Xiang, who was beside Li Ruyi, would come across this scene by coincidence.This lake is very big, and the water is very cold in late autumn. There are a few palace lanterns faintly hanging by the lake. The lights are very dim and hazy, and it is impossible to see the scene in the lake clearly.

Ruixiang's cry attracted a large number of palace people, and the moon-watching banquet at the imperial garden could no longer be held.When Su Ruoqing heard about this, he brought his concubines over to see what happened.

Wang Zhanyue disappeared in the lake, so the palace people hurriedly brought all the lamps that could be carried in the palace, illuminating half of the lake.Under Su Ruoqing's order, Ouchi guards who were familiar with the nature of water went down to the lake one after another to search. The tranquility of the mirror-like lake was broken, and broken ripples appeared, all the way to Su Ruoqing's feet by the lake.

Concubine Xi stood aside dumbfounded.Li Ruyi seemed a little anxious, and said: "I told you that Queen Xiu from Gusu, Zhanyue, has a strong temper. How could Sister Xi be so reckless and let her fall into the lake. If there is something wrong, after all, it was sent by Princess Xian I'm afraid I won't let this beautiful woman lose her life in vain. I hope I can find it, as long as I can find it, I can turn the big thing into a small thing."

Concubine Xi blinked her eyes, then shed tears of grievance, bit her lips and choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, my concubine didn't push her into the lake, but just invited her to chat by the lake, how could she jump off by herself all of a sudden?" "

Su Ruoqing looked cold and did not speak.

But a concubine said: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is cold and the water is cold. Is that beauty's brain flooded, and she wants to jump into the lake to find her own death?"

The reason for this can be known without much thought.As long as Concubine Xi was by the side when Wang Zhanyue jumped into the lake, no matter what she said, she couldn't get rid of it, and the more she said it at this time, the darker it became.She simply stopped talking, and just kept wiping away her tears, looking pitiful.

At this moment, Su Ruoqing's face paused, and he saw a person swimming towards the shore with great difficulty.The black lights are blind, and it is impossible to see who is who on the lake. Everyone has only one head exposed on the lake.And the big inner guards who went down to the lake to rescue people failed to find Xiu Nu for a long time, so they mainly went to salvage Xiu Nu's body. They didn't expect that Xiu Nu could swim.So whoever swims in the water can tell who is who.

The water in this lake is really very cold, and the lake is very wide. Wang Zhanyue spent a lot of energy trying to go from one side to the other. It hurts from the cold.There seemed to be lights on the other side, she gritted her teeth and had to swim across, otherwise she would drown in the lake.

This palace is not a good place in the first place, she knew it from the beginning.After coming here for so many days, she didn't even see the emperor's face. She couldn't help laughing at her momentary brain fever. What made her have such courage to come to Beijing, and made her believe the nonsense of Princess Xian? It's not bad if he didn't die in this palace.

Seeing that the shore of the lake is not far away, there seem to be many people around the shore of the lake.But I can't take care of that much anymore, it's important to go ashore.

When Wang Zhanyue was a foot away, the people on the shore came to their senses, pointing at Wang Zhanyue's head swaying with the movement of the water on the water and said in surprise: "Is that right! She actually swam over by herself Already!"

With the sound of rushing water, Wang Zhanyue has already come to her.The concubines and palace people were afraid that their dresses and feet would be wet by the water spray on the lake, so they all took a step back, and then Wang Zhanyue stood up from the water suddenly, the lake water was up to her waist, she walked forward step by step, without passing Her knees barely reached her ankles.
She was trembling all over, and the thin clothes on her body were soaked, sticking tightly to her body, highlighting her slender and graceful figure, her face was pale, her lips were blackened from the cold, her seaweed-like hair stuck to her cheeks, and Two points of aura, but also two points of beauty.

As long as Su Ruoqing didn't retreat, the lake water really rushed up and wet his clothes.Wang Zhanyue walked up to Su Ruoqing, and what she saw was an exquisite five-clawed dragon robe with her head lowered. She breathed a cold white breath, and raised her head little by little, reflecting Su Ruoqing's cold face into the eyes. out of sight.

She forgot to salute, and felt that the person in front of her seemed to have stepped out of a painting, like a smear of frost in the autumn cold.

Wang Zhanyue felt very cold, but couldn't help laughing, just when a gust of night wind blew, she was so cold that her heart was chilled, and she said in an ethereal voice, "I know you."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Zhanyue passed out.Her fingers unconsciously grabbed Su Ruoqing's dragon robe. Seeing this, Su Ruoqing couldn't let her fall back into the water again, so he stretched out his hand to catch her.

Su Ruoqing picked her up, her wet clothes wet Su Ruoqing's dragon robe, he walked back and said: "Let them all go ashore, it's okay, tonight's moon viewing is also skipped, they are all scattered .”

Everyone quickly lowered their bodies and said in a blessing manner: "The concubines respectfully send the emperor off."

When the time comes, brilliant fireworks bloom above the head.Su Ruoqing clearly felt like hugging a ball of ice when holding someone, but Wang Zhanyue fell asleep tightly with her head tilted in his arms.

That night, the ministers all came out of the palace one after another, returned to their homes, and were able to reunite with their families to enjoy the moon.The children and grandchildren ran around the garden screaming, holding moon cakes in one hand, and lighting firecrackers with silver flowers in the other hand.
