Second-hand lady

Chapter 39

"It's not good, His Royal Highness the Second Prince fell into the water!"

There was only a scream, and all the colorful boats moored on the river were startled, and the teenagers on the two nearby colorful boats came out of the cabin one after another, and happened to see the second prince thumping in the water.

Everyone was taken aback, maybe a little stunned, and forgot to save people for a while, but fortunately at this moment a voice yelled again: "Hurry up and save people."

The eldest prince only felt that the voice was a bit impressive, but he didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he quickly called the boatman and guards on the boat to go into the water to save people.

But faster than the First Prince were the people on the opposite boat. When they came out, a penny was already stretched out and put on the water to let the Second Prince catch it and stop it from sinking.The second prince can't swim, it's not his fault to prevent falling into the water, and it's late autumn, the river is icy cold, which made his body really overwhelmed, so he hurriedly grabbed the penny.

At this time, because the second prince fell into the water, the boatman hurriedly brought the boat over, making the two colorful boats very close, and the people on the boat came out to look around one after another.Due to the different identities of the second princes, the teenagers all showed concern on their faces, but the people on Wei Chaoxi's side laughed wildly three times with their hips on their hips, wishing their opponents could drink more water in the river.

Also because of the penny, the second prince didn't suffer much and was successfully rescued on board by the servants.

At this time, the first prince also saw the person holding the pole, and upon seeing it, he felt that the woman opposite was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.Because of the feeling of deja vu, the eldest prince couldn't help but look twice more, but saw that after she found his gaze, not only was she unrestrained, but she grinned, retracted the penny and stood by her side, looking at her. He gave a salute to himself, and called out generously: "His Royal Highness."

The eldest prince's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally knew who this woman was.It was a little later that night, and although the imperial garden was brightly lit, it was not as bright as the daylight. At that time, she was dressed in fine clothes and accompanied by the man known as the most beautiful man in the capital, like a fish-eye pearl next to a bright pearl. , not brilliant at all, it is impossible to notice at all, but it is much brighter than the deep clothes of a woman now, it took him a long time to remember.

However, it was this person who made him stumble, and then a series of unlucky things happened.

But why did she appear here?

When the eldest prince stared at her because he was too surprised, he saw her suddenly widen her eyes, looking at him with surprise, and shouted: "Eldest prince, be careful..."

Be careful of what?
The eldest prince was still in a daze, and soon he knew what to be careful of. His body was suddenly knocked off the boat, and the woman's horrific expression was in his eyes, which made him really annoyed.

"The eldest prince fell into the water!"

After another flurry, the two princes who fell into the water were finally arranged to change into wet clothes in the cabin, and because the river was too cold in late autumn, the two princes were stuffed into blankets to cover them, and the two maids He was carefully wiping their hair, and the two sneezed from time to time because they were soaked in ice water.

A group of teenagers huddled in the cabin, condolences to the two princes, and consoled them by the way.And outside the cabin, several girls stood there anxiously, waiting and comforting one of the girls who was about to cry. It was she who accidentally knocked the eldest prince into the river just now. Although it was not intentional, she was the one who caused it. When the eldest prince fell into the water, he was both shocked and frightened, and even more afraid that the eldest prince would take his anger out on her family because of this.

The eldest prince ignored the teenagers around him, but looked at the second prince and asked, "Why did you fall into the river?"

The second prince's handsome face suddenly flushed red, and he squeaked and said: "That... I was just careless." Even if you were beaten to death, you couldn't say that you accidentally fell into the river because of being frightened by a woman. It will damage the prince's prestige.

The eldest prince looked at him suspiciously, paused, and said again: "Do you know who the person who saved you with a penny was?"

The second prince was silent.

The First Prince didn't speak anymore, but his expression was a little gloomy.

The teenagers around looked at each other, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing. One of the beautiful teenagers with red phoenix eyes—Xiang Qingchun squinted his eyes slightly, and the corners of his long and narrow eyes revealed a strange elegance, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Elder Prince, Miss Mo, etc. The people are outside, saying that they want to make amends for you, can you let them in?"

The eldest prince took a look at his current appearance, let the girl see that it was inappropriate, shook his head and said, "Go and tell her, I didn't blame her." The drooping eyelids covered the light in his eyes, and he was thrown into the river. It is the noble daughter of the Mo family, this Mo family child is quite important in the court, and it is in his interest to make friends with the Mo family.

After Xiang Qingchun heard this, he went outside to convey the meaning of the eldest prince, and after coaxing the tearful and smiling little girl away, he let out the teenagers who had squeezed into the cabin, leaving only a few friends who had been friends with the eldest prince at the scene Afterwards, Xiang Qingchun sat down, pulled the sleeves of the long dark clothes together, and said to the two princes: "Elder prince, second prince, can the next competition continue?"

The eldest prince looked out the window, and there was a lot of excitement on the colored boats opposite. It is estimated that Wei Chaozhu and the others were so happy that their opponent fell into the river by accident, and they might be celebrating.Although usually there is no enmity with Wei Jinyi, but in the same academy, occasionally there will be some small frictions, and the boss is still very upset at this time.

"Of course we must continue!"

After hearing this, Xiang Qingchun sighed and said, "But we may be doomed to lose."

The two princes were silent after hearing this.

Xiang Qingchun looked at them, and then another young man was unconvinced: "I really don't know who they asked for the question, it all involves the content of the art of war and profound art, isn't it making things difficult for us?"

Hearing this, the eldest prince and the second prince couldn't help but look at the colorful boat opposite, and suddenly saw a little girl coming out of the cabin, followed by a little fat man showing courteousness, making people want to laugh at that girl The fat man with a stupid face kicked him into the river.

Xiang Qingchun's eyes followed theirs, and when he saw the strange girl, he let out a "Huh" and said with a smile, "So they really managed to invite a girl. Judging by the girl's temperament and clothes, it is probably the same. Miss of the official family, could it be that she played the Xiao Sheng earlier?"

After hearing this, the other teenagers widened their eyes and rushed to the window to watch. Unfortunately, the girl had gone far away and went to the other side of the boat.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. Neither the eldest prince nor the second prince are stupid people. Clues surfaced one after another, and both of them had an answer in their hearts.

"Brother, could it be... that person is also there?" The second prince's pale face turned even paler, with a bitter expression on his face.

The eldest prince was silent for a while, then sighed: "It's almost the same."

Then the two brothers looked at each other, and it happened that Xiang Qingchun turned around and saw that the second prince, who was always gentle and calm, turned red in his eyes, and was immediately surprised, and then heard the first prince sigh and say: "It seems that I met that woman... We are always unlucky."

which woman?

"Brother, has the mister calculated all of this?"

"Probably not..." It would be really scary if he even considered this kind of thing.

But the second prince's preconceived impression made him not calm, his face was flushed red, he rubbed the blanket wrapped around himself and said: "I, I will never get involved in women's affairs in the future. Women are really terrible !” A look of lingering fear.

"Second brother..."

The eldest prince cried out speechlessly, compared to that over-lucky woman, he felt that Mr. was more terrifying, as if pressing on top of his head like a mountain.

Xiang Qingchun, who was paying attention to the two brothers at the side, was taken aback, wondering in his heart, the husband they were talking about could not be that "Mr."But there is no one else who can make the prince respectfully address you as Mr., except the one appointed by the emperor.

Turning his eyes, Xiang Qingchun quickly had an idea.

However, his idea was rejected by the two princes together.

"What if Mr. Wen is not actually on that ship? What will we do then? Force him out?" Then are you sure you won't be tricked by him again?
Xiang Qingchun stopped talking, and began to think hard again, wanting to find out the opponent's handle, but also to prevent the eldest prince and the others from losing too embarrassingly.

On the other side, the couple, unaware that they had left a deep shadow in the hearts of the two teenagers, sat together, chatting and joking while peeling and boiling peanuts in salted water.

"It's funny, the second prince accidentally fell into the river, the first prince was standing still, but a girl came from behind and accidentally tripped and knocked him out. It seems that they are very unlucky today Yes." Miss Rucui knocked on the peanuts, completely unaware that she was the one who caused the second prince to fall into the river.

Wen Liang peeled peanuts for her, looked at her bright smiling face with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Is it fun?"

"It's fun." Miss Rucui said openly.

Wen Liang's smile deepened, he saw clearly that a certain girl greeted the second prince when she leaned out of the window, and he also saw the girl saving people with a penny, but the second prince was inadvertently caught by the penny The pole poked under the river and drank the water in her belly. She probably slipped her hand, she didn't have the guts to hate the whole prince like that?
Presumably after this incident, the Second Prince's impression of her was even deeper.

While talking, Wei Chaoxi brought Zhou Zhengxu and others over with a happy face, first saluted respectfully, then sat down and said excitedly: "Sir, because the First Prince and the Second Prince fell into the water and are not feeling well, they Give up."

Wen Liang squinted at him, and slowly waved his fan and said, "What's there to be happy about? Although they conceded, in the eyes of others, it was only because of an accident that they had to regret to concede, not because they were inferior to others. On the contrary, it was you who took this opportunity." Such cheapness is disgusting."

Hearing this, the originally happy teenagers suddenly fainted.

"Sure enough, what Zhou Zhengxu said is right. For the sake of the eldest prince's face, we should let this competition go for nothing, and just treat it as an accident and we can't compete."

Although he wished that the eldest prince and the second prince's face would be swept away, but after all, they were the prince's grandsons, so they should not be too embarrassing, which would be detrimental to their future.

So Wei Chaoxi went out again, looking for the First Prince and the others.

Zhou Zhengxu stayed in the cabin, looking at the couple sitting together, and seeing the man who was peeling peanuts for Miss Rucui, he felt a sense of disillusionment.

It was probably because his eyes were too strange, Miss Rucui looked at him and asked, "Do you want to eat peanuts?"

Zhou Zhengxu mechanically shook his head.

"Do you want to eat the peanuts Mr. Wen peeled?"

Zhou Zhengxu nodded numbly.

Miss Rucui sighed, and said, "Young master Zhou, you are seriously ill. I sincerely introduce Imperial Physician Hu to you. He is a pretty grandfather. I believe you know him too."

Zhou Zhengxu came back to his senses, and suddenly looked a little embarrassed. The gentle and handsome young man seemed a little at a loss, and then decided to ignore the girl Rucui who made him unintentionally embarrassing, and said to Wen Liang with bright eyes: "Master Wen, please accept me as a student."
