Chapter 170 Xiao Shizi deceives others, Lu Xinyan will plan
Chapter 170 Xiao Shizi deceives others, Lu Xinyan will plan
This made Gongsun Mobai very unhappy, from time to time he glanced at Bai Zhi out of the corner of his eye, only to find that he hadn't even looked at him directly!
It's even worse now!
Seeing that his expression was stiff, Lu Xinyan thought it was the injury on his face, and said kindly: "Mr. Gongsun, Bai Zhi has some good medicine in her hands, and it is very effective in removing bruises."
Gongsun Mobai heheed twice, originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind, "Mr. Mingzhi Township, I have some questions about medicine and medicine, can I speak for a while?"
Bai Zhi smiled slightly, "Master Gongsun, please."
Gongsun Mobai flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left, after Bai Zhi saluted and bid farewell to everyone, he followed Gongsun Mobai.
At this time, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Lu Xinyan looked up, and saw a man in a black suit embroidered with exquisite patterns with gold thread, led by the eunuch Chang Chun, walking in slowly from outside.
There was hostility in the grim and gloomy eyebrows, and the eyes were cold and cold. People who were accidentally caught by the corner of his eyes would automatically take three steps back, wishing to hide themselves in the crowd.
There was no expression on his handsome and indifferent face, and his strong aura caused the crowd to separate automatically.
Long Tian walked in front of Lu Xinyan, curled his lips into an evil smile, but his voice was not warm, "Princess Zhuzhu, we meet again!"
Wu Sheng gasped.
Except for Lu Xinyan, Xiao Yichen and Long Tianxing, no one knew what happened in Nanshan, not even Li Yu and Gong Jin, and Lu Xinyan didn't tell them.
Wu Sheng didn't know when Lu Xinyan provoked Long Tianxing. This person's weight in Emperor Longde's heart, besides the queen mother, probably belonged to Long Tianxing.
In other words, if any prince killed someone for no reason in public now, Emperor Longde would definitely be furious and reprimand him severely, but if Long Tianxing killed someone, Emperor Longde would at most lightly say a few words, and turn the big thing into a trivial matter.
From the moment Long Tianxing entered the palace, everyone in the palace knew that this person was not to be messed with, and if they saw him for nothing, it was best to stay away from him, lest Master Long would be in a bad mood and snap at random.
"I've seen Master Long!" Lu Xinyan saluted without being humble or overbearing, her face was calm, but her heart kept beating.
Long Tianxing's presumptuous and cold eyes looked at her from beginning to end, "See you today, Long feels that the princess's demeanor is even better than that day."
As soon as the words came out, someone around started whispering, Master Long had just returned to the capital, and the princess hooked up with him?This woman really has extraordinary methods!
Lu Xinyan said: "Master Long is over the award, but Master Long is much more restrained than that day, he didn't yell, beat, kill, and rob people at every turn!"
Shouting, beating, killing, and robbing people?This is a lot of information!It wasn't the Princess who seduced Master Long, but Master Long saw the Princess and wanted to rob someone, and if he couldn't, he wanted to kill someone?
The people's minds are extraordinarily large, and they are extraordinarily keen on gossip. Just relying on words and phrases, they can actually restore almost the truth!
Master Long smiled, "The emperor is here today, so don't grab it, it should be Long's, it's Long's!"
Lu Xinyan's hairs stood on end, could it be that he had already asked the emperor to marry him, and the emperor agreed?
A familiar clear voice came from the nose, and then a clear and pleasant voice sounded, "Master Long is right, what should belong to Master Long is Master Long's, and you can't run away anyway. Similarly, it shouldn't belong to Master Long." No matter how many tricks are exhausted, it is destined not to belong to Master Long!"
When Lu Xinyan turned her head, a reassuring crescent-colored figure stood beside her at some point.
There were many more delicate purple patterns on the clothes than before, matched with the purple jade belt around the waist, it made the person extraordinarily handsome, and as soon as he appeared on stage, he became the focus of everyone.
That aura was not inferior to Long Tianxing's in the slightest, on the contrary, compared with Long Tianxing's sinister and evil, Xiao Yichen had an awe-inspiring uprightness that was more convincing, it was the iron-boned spirit honed in the army!
"Really?" Master Long chuckled, "Then let us wait and see!"
Emperor Longde verbally agreed to his request to marry Lu Xinyan. Although Long Tianxing didn't understand why he hadn't replied to the marriage proposal he sent up, the Emperor Jinkou opened his mouth and made a promise. Let the Long family come back and become the fourth force in the court, and the family power that restrains the three adult princes will never back down on such trivial matters.
Long Tianxing was very confident, so after saying this, he left confidently.
Wu Sheng asked curiously: "Cousin Xiao, princess, have you met Master Long? I remember that he only returned to the capital two days ago!"
"Unintentionally met once." Xiao Yichen avoided the important and ignored it, unwilling to talk too much, "Third Prince, I have something to say to the princess, let's go first."
After speaking, she pulled Lu Xinyan's wrist and left.
Yan Yulang looked at the place where the two held hands, stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Third prince, I think Xiao Shizi and the princess seem to have an unusual relationship."
Li Yu echoed, "I feel the same way this time."
Then I struggled a little in my heart, if the two of them are really different, should Lu Xinyan call him fourth uncle or Mrs. Lu Xinyan's sister-in-law?Seems like a bit of a mess!
"Is there?" Wu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, "I don't think there may be something urgent to say."
Yan Yulang shook his head, "In my impression, this is the first time Xiao Shizi has taken the initiative to hold a girl's wrist. No matter what urgent matter is there, he won't even ignore basic etiquette, right?"
The last time at the second prince's mansion, Wu Sheng saw Xiao Yichen's attitude towards Lu Xinyan from the beginning. At first he was also taken aback. After thinking about it, he felt that it was more likely that Xiao Yichen deliberately used Lu Xinyan as a cover. After all, although Xiao Yichen hated Lu Xinyan, But in terms of familiar women, there is only Lu Xinyan.
Now that Yan Yulang said this, Wu Sheng suddenly felt that maybe Xiao Yichen really had some thoughts about Lu Xinyan unconsciously.
But putting aside all power disputes, let's just talk about Lu Xinyan's identity, a woman who has divorced, even if Xiao Yichen has intentions, will the Zhen Guo government agree?Will the concubine agree?Does the emperor agree?
Wu Sheng couldn't help holding his hand tightly, even he didn't know who he was nervous about, let alone whether he was in favor or against the matter of the two of them in his heart!
Lu Xinyan obediently followed Xiao Yichen for a while.
He has long legs and has always walked fast, but he accommodates her to take small steps, so Lu Xinyan does not feel tired when walking.
When he reached a place with few people, Xiao Yichen stopped, but he didn't let go of his hand.
It was only then that Lu Xinyan felt that Xiao Yichen's hand between her wrists seemed to be colder than before, "Are you alright?" She asked involuntarily.
Xiao Yichen was taken aback for a while, then smiled, "I'm fine."
That expression contained pure satisfaction and happiness, just because she asked a word of concern for him.
Lu Xinyan was concerned about Master Long's affairs, so she had no time to think about it, so she bit her lip and asked, "Has Master Long already asked the emperor to marry him? What does the emperor say?"
"Master Long entered the palace the day before yesterday and mentioned it to the emperor, and the emperor verbally agreed, but the proposal for marriage was not handed over to the emperor."
"The marriage proposal has not been handed over to the emperor? Does it mean that Lord Long has handed it over, but it has not yet reached the emperor?" Lu Xinyan asked sharply.
"Smart princess!" Xiao Yichen praised.
"How do you know?" Lu Xinyan took a breath, "Did you do something in the middle?"
She remembered that day when Xiao Yichen asked Qi Fei to pay attention to Long Tianxing's every move.
Xiao Yichen didn't hide it from her, "Tianlong Tianxing handed over the brochure the day before yesterday, and I went to the palace to steal it."
Lu Xinyan gasped again, her eyes widened, "You go...the palace...to steal something? Are you dying? If the emperor finds out, it's..."
"Are you worried about me?" Xiao Yichen asked with a smile, if you look carefully, you will find a trace of tension in his eyes, more nervous than him sneaking into the palace in the middle of the night to steal the book.
It's a pity that Lu Xinyan avoided her eyes and didn't see it, "Anyway, it's for my sake that you take such a risk, isn't it normal for me to worry about you?"
Disappointed in his heart, Xiao Yichen took Lu Xinyan's hand and put it to his lips and bit it.
The strength to vent her dissatisfaction made Lu Xinyan cry softly, and she glared at him, "Why do you always bite? Can you tell me in advance next time?"
"No!" He said angrily, "I bit my hand, why did I say it in advance?"
Lu Xinyan was dumbfounded, the speed at which this uncle changed his face was comparable to that of a Sichuan opera!
"Okay, you can do whatever you like." Lu Xinyan said angrily.
Xiao Yichen glanced at her, saw her stubborn face, couldn't help but said softly: "Are you angry?"
Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes, can your uncle stop being so smart?
What does it mean to reward a sweet date with a slap every time?
In the past, the two had little friction, as long as Xiao Yichen softened up and coaxed her, Lu Xinyan would graciously ignore it, after all Xiao Yichen has thick thighs that need to be hugged tightly!
But today, Master Long's matter is like a sharp sword hanging over her head, it will fall at some point, Xiao Yichen is still playing with her, Lu Xinyan is very upset, and turns a deaf ear to Xiao Yichen's soft words.
The two quarreled a few times, Lu Xinyan had never been really angry with him, but now she seemed to be really angry, Xiao Yichen was a little panicked, "It was my fault, don't be angry, okay? As long as you don't get angry , you want me to do anything, don’t be angry, huh?”
Seeing that his tone was very sincere, Lu Xinyan took the opportunity to bargain, "Then pay me back this hand later!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yichen agreed without hesitation.
so refreshing?Lu Xinyan blinked, "Don't lose your temper with me for no reason in the future!"
"it is good!"
"In the future, you are not allowed to talk about the past!"
"it is good!"
"Don't take care of me in the future!"
"Look at the situation!"
"In the future..." Lu Xinyan suddenly felt that her brain was not enough, she racked her brains and thought, and planned to take advantage of Xiao Yichen's easy-to-talk, to gain some benefits for herself, "The conditions for a fake marriage, follow what I said last time! "
"no!"
"In the future... huh? Why?"
"Everything else needs to be discussed, but this one has nothing to talk about!"
Fake marriage, you think it's beautiful!
Lu Xinyan asked confidently, "Why?"
Xiao Yichen half-closed his eyes, "Princess, don't push yourself too far."
Lu Xinyan's momentum immediately faltered, and she blinked her wet eyes, "Then, let the emperor give you a marriage?"
"Don't worry, there is me!"
Lu Xinyan's heart, which was floating in the air, suddenly returned to her chest after hearing his words.
She shook her wrist, "Xiao Shizi, can you let go of my hand?"
She specifically emphasized the word "hand".
Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and let go.
It feels so good to take back the initiative!Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "Thank you, Prince Xiao, for keeping your promise!"
Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, noncommittal!After tonight, your whole body is mine, including these hands, so let me make you happy first!
Lu Xinyan touched her wrist, the coolness on the wrist was still faint, she frowned, "Xiao Shizi, are you really alright?"
There was a flash of fire in Liuli's eyes, Xiao Yichen raised the corner of his lips, "I'm fine! The Queen Mother will be here soon, you go first!"
Lu Xinyan hesitated for a while, pointing to the matter of marriage, she was still a little inexplicably worried.
"Don't worry, everything is with me!"
-
Because Gongsun Mobai was holding his breath in his heart, he took big steps, even ignoring people who greeted him, and rushed forward.
At first, Bai Zhi could still follow the red figure, but slowly, she disappeared.
She had no choice but to inquire all the way, and after attracting a lot of strange eyes, she finally found a small pavilion.
Here you can see the red lanterns hanging high in the Qingfeng Palace, and you can hear the laughter and laughter floating in the wind, but this place is relatively secluded, and there are no palace people coming and going.
Bai Zhi reached out to wrap her arms around her, and rubbed up and down to keep warm.
It was very warm in Qingfeng Hall, and the cloak was put inside. She did not expect that Gongsun Mobai would ask her to come so far away.
She is not in good health, and she can't stand the wind after a short while.
I couldn't see Gongsun Mobai from the left and right, so I planned to go back the same way and get the cloak before coming back.
"Mr. Mingzhixiang, you are too dishonest. No one saw you, so you just left?" A mocking voice sounded, and then a red figure jumped out of the darkness, standing in front of Baizhi.
The speed that jumped out was too fast, bringing a gust of cold wind, Bai Zhi shivered, couldn't help taking two steps back, and asked directly without saying anything, "Mr. Gongsun, what do you want to ask?"
Gongsun Mobai took two steps closer, "At Nanshan that day, I thought you were an ordinary country girl at first, and didn't care about your life, but later I recognized you and offered to save you, what's wrong?"
He was born noble, and the education he received since he was a child is that there are differences between people.
He is the eldest grandson of the Gongsun Mansion with noble royal blood, and those who serve him, those common people, are like lowly weeds, and the death of one or two people is no different from the death of one or two grasses.
He has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and has a heart of compassion for the common people. He will not really kill the lowly slaves and common people easily, but the innate sense of superiority in his bones and the idea of dividing people into three, six, and nine classes are the same as all people in this era. Same as people of noble birth.
When Bai Zhi asked him back that day, he didn't think there was anything wrong, shouldn't it be like this?If she was just a lowly country girl whom he didn't know, why should he save her?
He took it for granted, but he didn't know why in his heart, and he was very worried about Bai Zhi's attitude that day.
Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "Mr. Gongsun, I have already thanked you for the kindness of saving me that day. If you think it is not enough, I can thank you again."
She saluted solemnly, "Young Master Gongsun, I was in Nanshan that day, thank you for your rescue!"
"I accept your thank you." Gongsun Mobai said: "But what I want is not this, I want you to answer me, do you think my behavior that day was wrong?"
Bai Zhi said: "From the perspective of Mr. Gongsun, there is nothing wrong."
Gongsun Mobai snorted coldly: "Then what do you mean to say, from your point of view, I made a mistake?"
"Gongsun Gongzi," Bai Zhi said helplessly, seeing his unrelenting expression, "It's cold outside, can you let me go back and get a cloak?"
Only then did Gongsun Mobai notice that Bai Zhi hugged her arms together and trembled slightly.
Without the slightest hesitation, he took off his coat and threw it to Bai Zhi, "Put on mine! Answer my question first!"
The clothes came with warmth, Bai Zhi only hesitated for two seconds, then wrapped herself around her body, only showing a small face the size of a palm.
"Gongsun Gongzi, I am a doctor, and I am a doctor with the heart of my parents. I only see the wounded, and I don't care about high or low."
Gongsun Mobai stared at her fiercely, "So you mean, if a beggar and I were injured at the same time now, you might save the beggar first and me later?"
Bai Zhi thought about it seriously, "If that beggar is injured more seriously than you!"
Gongsun Mobai was furious, he didn't expect that she would actually dare to answer like this, and at the same time, he was even more angry with himself, knowing that such an answer might be the answer, he insisted on asking yawningly, just for fun.
At this time, there was a neat voice of greetings from Qingfeng Hall, "See the empress dowager."
"Mr. Gongsun, the empress dowager is here. I should go back. I didn't bring any medicine with me today. I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow." Bai Zhi reluctantly took off her clothes, it was so cold.
Gongsun Mobai looked at the clothes, then at her trembling appearance, and said with disgust: "You want me to wear the clothes worn by others? Just find a place and throw them away!"
After he finished speaking, he lifted his foot and walked in the other direction.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi wrapped herself in her clothes again and walked towards Qingfeng Palace.
In Qingfeng Palace, Lu Xinyan, Wu Zhen, and Yan Qingruo were surrounding the queen mother. The queen mother held Lu Xinyan's hand and smiled, "Zhuzhu, I haven't seen you for half a month now. If the queen didn't hold this banquet, I'd just I'm afraid you still don't want to enter the palace, it seems that if Ai's family misses you in the future, they will let the queen hold a banquet and invite you."
Lu Xinyan couldn't stand the empress dowager's enthusiasm, "If you want to see Zhuzhu, empress dowager, Zhuzhu can come to the palace to accompany you at any time."
"Did you say this? You can't go back on your word!" The Queen Mother half-truthfully said.
"Zhuzhu never tells lies."
"Empress Dowager, you don't feel bad for Qingruo if you have Sister Zhuzhu." Yan Qingruo pretended to be jealous beside her.
The queen mother deliberately turned her face hard, "You ghost girl, when will the Ai family stop loving you?"
Yan Qingruo hurriedly got to the Queen Mother's side and whispered: "Then Empress Dowager, can you tell Qingruo which lady the Emperor intends to give to Shizi Xiao?"
Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help stretching her ears.
"Go, go, children, why are you asking this?" The queen mother chased her away.
"Oh, Empress Dowager, Qing Ruo is almost fifteen, not too young, you can tell Qing Ruo quietly, Qing Ruo is really curious, what kind of lady would Xiao Shizi look at in the end!"
"It's no wonder Xiao Shizi has a high vision. The Ai family thinks that there are not many people in this capital who are worthy of him."
Xiao Yichen lived in the palace for a long time due to illness when he was a child, and later he saved Wu Sheng's life, he was good-looking, smart and sensible, he was a perfect example of other children, so the Queen Mother liked him very much since childhood.
Leaving aside political factors, not to mention the ladies in the capital, the Queen Mother felt that even the few princesses in the palace, from the bottom of her heart, none of them were worthy of Xiao Yichen.
Wu Wan looks good, but her temperament is too arrogant, Wu Zhen has a good temper, but her appearance is a little bit worse.
The Lu Xinyan in front of her has a good appearance and temperament, but it's a pity that she is Heli.
Why!The Empress Dowager felt that choosing a concubine for Xiao Yichen was more difficult than choosing a concubine for her own grandson!
"Qing Ruo agrees with what the Empress Dowager said, that's why Qing Ruo is even more curious." Yan Qingruo blinked her black eyes and begged, "Empress Dowager, please reveal a little bit, Qing Ruo promises that she will never say anything!"
The Queen Mother really couldn't stand her, so she said: "I really don't know who Aijia is attracted to by Shizi Xiao, but the Emperor has said a few things that he thinks he is worthy of in his heart."
Lu Xinyan suddenly felt her breathing tightened, and her palms were slightly sweaty.
"Which ones are which ones?" Yan Qingruo hurriedly asked.
The queen mother elongated her tone, "Yes..." After Yan Qingruo's ears pricked up, the queen mother suddenly laughed, "I can't tell you! Hahaha!"
It was rare for the Queen Mother to show her childish side. Seeing Yan Qingruo's anger, Wu Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Qing Ruo, you are impatient, look at Zhuzhu, and you haven't said a word from the beginning to the end."
"Chang'an is right!" The Queen Mother followed suit.
Lu Xinyan pulled the corner of her mouth into a dry smile.
The conscience of heaven and earth, she is the one who wants to know the most!
"Sister Zhuzhu is not familiar with Xiao Shizi, so she is not interested." Yan Qingruo refused to admit it.
Lu Xinyan heheed twice.
When Bai Zhi entered Qingfeng Palace, the Empress Dowager's eyes lit up when she saw her, "Ming Zhi, come to Ai's house quickly."
Bai Zhi saved Emperor Longde's life, and the queen mother was equally happy with her.
The topic of which ladies the Emperor Longde had internally decided for Xiao Yichen was changed like this.
Yan Qingruo was curious for a while, so she turned around, anyway, she will definitely find out tonight.
Lu Xinyan felt even more uneasy.
From the look on the Empress Dowager's face just now, she couldn't tell who Emperor Longde had appointed, but one thing was certain, she was definitely not on the list!
She felt depressed and said, "The empress dowager, the princess, I want to go for a walk."
Going out for a walk has two meanings, one is really going out for a walk, and the other is internal urgency.
In this case, most people will automatically understand the meaning of the latter.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Wu Zhen asked.
"No need, the princess will accompany the empress dowager, I will come back as soon as I go."
Lu Xinyan left Qingfeng Hall alone and walked to the back, wanting to blow some air and get some air.
Not far away, Wen Ruxiang, who had been watching the situation in the hall, pretended to be inadvertently stunned, "Sister Zhiwei, is that the princess? Why did she leave the Queen Mother?"
"It seems to be a matter of internal urgency, otherwise, who would be so foolish to leave such a good opportunity to flatter the Queen Mother?"
After the Empress Dowager came back, the princes and ladies who came to the banquet stepped forward to salute. Those who were familiar with the Empress Dowager would stay beside the Empress Dowager to talk, and those who were not familiar with them would disperse and move about on their own.
In the past, with Wu Wan around, Wen Ruxiang would follow Wu Wan and the Queen Mother.
Today was the banquet for the selection of the crown prince and concubine specially organized for Xiao Yichen, the empress was afraid that Wu Wan would cause trouble, so she was locked up directly.
Without Wu Wan, the Queen Mother didn't remember who Wen Ruxiang was at all, so Wen Ruxiang had no choice but to leave and be with Zhu Zhiwei and others.
Zhu Zhiwei's eyes flickered, "Speaking of internal urgency, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Sisters, I'll come whenever I go."
A girl in pink said kindly, "Zhiwei, I'll go with you."
Wen Ruxiang pulled her back, "We're not the kids we used to be, and if people know that we have to go to the bathroom together, it's no joke."
Zhu Zhiwei didn't know how to refuse, so she hurriedly said after hearing Wen Ruxiang's words: "Sister Ruxiang said, Ping'er, I'll go by myself, I'll be back soon, you stay here, wait for me to come back and continue talking. "
"Then come back quickly."
Qingfeng Palace is one of the palaces in the palace dedicated to banquets. It not only has a banquet living room, but also has many small courtyards and wing rooms, mainly for the guests to stay overnight.
Lu Xinyan walked along the promenade until she reached a certain corner, and found a small garden there, not far from the small garden, surrounded by thin smoke.
There is... With a thought in her heart, she turned down the long corridor and walked along the small garden to the place of thin smoke, unaware that someone was quietly following behind her.
The thin smoke was getting closer and closer, and the sound of rushing water could be vaguely heard, and the palace lanterns hanging high not far away passed through the thin smoke, reflecting colorful and bright lights.
It's a hot spring!
Unexpectedly, there is a hot spring in the Qingfeng Palace!
Lu Xinyan squatted down, touched the warm water with her hands, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind.
However, how to implement it without leaving a trace or being suspected?
She stood up thoughtfully.
Suddenly there was a strong force behind her, and Lu Xinyan was pushed into the hot spring without paying attention.
thump!
"Zhuzhu!" Wu Zhen screamed from behind, "Zhu Zhiwei, what are you doing? Why are you pushing Zhuzhu into the water?"
Zhu Zhiwei backed away with a pale complexion. Seeing Lu Xinyan alone, remembering her jealousy towards her and what Wen Ruxiang said, she thought about pushing Lu Xinyan into the water, and then in the name of saving people, she would kill the young masters in Qingfeng Palace. They all called out to let them see Lu Xinyan's ugly appearance when she fell into the water and her clothes were drenched, but she didn't expect that Wu Zhen would see it.
"No, no, princess, I didn't push the princess, I just... just... wanted to talk to her, but I didn't expect... she fell down suddenly..." Zhu Zhiwei kept backing away with a pale face.
"You still dare to quibble? I saw you pushing people with my own eyes!" Wu Zhen's eyes turned red with anger, "Come here! Let me arrest Zhu Zhiwei and send her to the imperial grandmother, so that the imperial grandmother can punish her!"
"Yes, princess!"
After several palace people took Zhu Zhiwei away, Wu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, "Zhuzhu, hurry up, I'll cover you, come up quickly."
When Lu Xinyan was pushed into the water, her whole body was buried in the water, even her head was soaked.
After getting out of the water, the wind blew, and my whole body was covered with goose bumps.
Wu Zhen stretched out her hand to pull her up.
Lu Xinyan suddenly showed a painful expression, "I... sprained my ankle..."
"Then what should we do?" Wu Zhen took a deep breath and immediately made a decision, "I'll go find Bai Zhi, just wait a bit."
Fortunately, it's a hot spring, so it's okay to soak in it.
Wu Zhen was about to leave when a high-pitched female voice screamed: "Princess Zhuzhu has fallen into the water, come quickly! Princess Zhuzhu has fallen into the water, come quickly!"
Wu Zhen's complexion changed drastically, the surroundings of the hot spring are very bright, if someone sees Lu Xinyan falling into the water, especially those young men, then Lu Xinyan's reputation will be ruined!
Following those two screams, all the princes and ladies inside and outside Qingfeng Palace ran towards this side.
Some are for fun, others are for worry.
At this moment, Wu Zhen is powerless.
She gritted her teeth and hesitated whether to jump out of the water to be with Lu Xinyan, a white figure jumped into the hot spring like light, splashing a burst of beautiful water, and when the light shone, it was as gorgeous as fireworks.
Wu Zhen took a closer look, and the white figure that jumped into the water was actually Xiao Yichen, the eldest son of Duke Zhen!
She skipped a beat in her heart, and when she took a closer look, she saw that Lu Xinyan was clinging to Xiao Yichen's body like an octopus.
"Wuuu, Xiao Shizi, thank you, I sprained my ankle and almost thought I was going to drown, wuuuu..."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xinyan was crying till it rained.
Wu Zhen was dumbfounded, the Lu Xinyan she remembered was not such a delicate woman!
At this time, the hot spring was full of people.
"My God, it's really Princess Zhuzhu!"
"Who saved her, is it Xiao Shizi?"
"Wow! This Xiao Shizi and the princess, hugging each other in full view, is really out of style, out of style..."
"This Princess... is too shameless, she clearly jumped into the water on purpose and called for Prince Xiao to come and save her!" A young lady who was interested in Xiao Yichen said angrily.
If the two hug each other in public and lose face, maybe the emperor has no choice but to point out the princess to Prince Xiao!This Princess Zhuzhu, a woman who has been divorced, dares to be shameless like Mr. Xiao Xiao, how shameless he is!
Thanks to Baobao Deng, CC0709 for the monthly pass, thanks to Huahua for the colorful bean sprouts, and thanks to the little cuties in the bookstore for the recommended tickets!ok~
(End of this chapter)
This made Gongsun Mobai very unhappy, from time to time he glanced at Bai Zhi out of the corner of his eye, only to find that he hadn't even looked at him directly!
It's even worse now!
Seeing that his expression was stiff, Lu Xinyan thought it was the injury on his face, and said kindly: "Mr. Gongsun, Bai Zhi has some good medicine in her hands, and it is very effective in removing bruises."
Gongsun Mobai heheed twice, originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind, "Mr. Mingzhi Township, I have some questions about medicine and medicine, can I speak for a while?"
Bai Zhi smiled slightly, "Master Gongsun, please."
Gongsun Mobai flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left, after Bai Zhi saluted and bid farewell to everyone, he followed Gongsun Mobai.
At this time, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Lu Xinyan looked up, and saw a man in a black suit embroidered with exquisite patterns with gold thread, led by the eunuch Chang Chun, walking in slowly from outside.
There was hostility in the grim and gloomy eyebrows, and the eyes were cold and cold. People who were accidentally caught by the corner of his eyes would automatically take three steps back, wishing to hide themselves in the crowd.
There was no expression on his handsome and indifferent face, and his strong aura caused the crowd to separate automatically.
Long Tian walked in front of Lu Xinyan, curled his lips into an evil smile, but his voice was not warm, "Princess Zhuzhu, we meet again!"
Wu Sheng gasped.
Except for Lu Xinyan, Xiao Yichen and Long Tianxing, no one knew what happened in Nanshan, not even Li Yu and Gong Jin, and Lu Xinyan didn't tell them.
Wu Sheng didn't know when Lu Xinyan provoked Long Tianxing. This person's weight in Emperor Longde's heart, besides the queen mother, probably belonged to Long Tianxing.
In other words, if any prince killed someone for no reason in public now, Emperor Longde would definitely be furious and reprimand him severely, but if Long Tianxing killed someone, Emperor Longde would at most lightly say a few words, and turn the big thing into a trivial matter.
From the moment Long Tianxing entered the palace, everyone in the palace knew that this person was not to be messed with, and if they saw him for nothing, it was best to stay away from him, lest Master Long would be in a bad mood and snap at random.
"I've seen Master Long!" Lu Xinyan saluted without being humble or overbearing, her face was calm, but her heart kept beating.
Long Tianxing's presumptuous and cold eyes looked at her from beginning to end, "See you today, Long feels that the princess's demeanor is even better than that day."
As soon as the words came out, someone around started whispering, Master Long had just returned to the capital, and the princess hooked up with him?This woman really has extraordinary methods!
Lu Xinyan said: "Master Long is over the award, but Master Long is much more restrained than that day, he didn't yell, beat, kill, and rob people at every turn!"
Shouting, beating, killing, and robbing people?This is a lot of information!It wasn't the Princess who seduced Master Long, but Master Long saw the Princess and wanted to rob someone, and if he couldn't, he wanted to kill someone?
The people's minds are extraordinarily large, and they are extraordinarily keen on gossip. Just relying on words and phrases, they can actually restore almost the truth!
Master Long smiled, "The emperor is here today, so don't grab it, it should be Long's, it's Long's!"
Lu Xinyan's hairs stood on end, could it be that he had already asked the emperor to marry him, and the emperor agreed?
A familiar clear voice came from the nose, and then a clear and pleasant voice sounded, "Master Long is right, what should belong to Master Long is Master Long's, and you can't run away anyway. Similarly, it shouldn't belong to Master Long." No matter how many tricks are exhausted, it is destined not to belong to Master Long!"
When Lu Xinyan turned her head, a reassuring crescent-colored figure stood beside her at some point.
There were many more delicate purple patterns on the clothes than before, matched with the purple jade belt around the waist, it made the person extraordinarily handsome, and as soon as he appeared on stage, he became the focus of everyone.
That aura was not inferior to Long Tianxing's in the slightest, on the contrary, compared with Long Tianxing's sinister and evil, Xiao Yichen had an awe-inspiring uprightness that was more convincing, it was the iron-boned spirit honed in the army!
"Really?" Master Long chuckled, "Then let us wait and see!"
Emperor Longde verbally agreed to his request to marry Lu Xinyan. Although Long Tianxing didn't understand why he hadn't replied to the marriage proposal he sent up, the Emperor Jinkou opened his mouth and made a promise. Let the Long family come back and become the fourth force in the court, and the family power that restrains the three adult princes will never back down on such trivial matters.
Long Tianxing was very confident, so after saying this, he left confidently.
Wu Sheng asked curiously: "Cousin Xiao, princess, have you met Master Long? I remember that he only returned to the capital two days ago!"
"Unintentionally met once." Xiao Yichen avoided the important and ignored it, unwilling to talk too much, "Third Prince, I have something to say to the princess, let's go first."
After speaking, she pulled Lu Xinyan's wrist and left.
Yan Yulang looked at the place where the two held hands, stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Third prince, I think Xiao Shizi and the princess seem to have an unusual relationship."
Li Yu echoed, "I feel the same way this time."
Then I struggled a little in my heart, if the two of them are really different, should Lu Xinyan call him fourth uncle or Mrs. Lu Xinyan's sister-in-law?Seems like a bit of a mess!
"Is there?" Wu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, "I don't think there may be something urgent to say."
Yan Yulang shook his head, "In my impression, this is the first time Xiao Shizi has taken the initiative to hold a girl's wrist. No matter what urgent matter is there, he won't even ignore basic etiquette, right?"
The last time at the second prince's mansion, Wu Sheng saw Xiao Yichen's attitude towards Lu Xinyan from the beginning. At first he was also taken aback. After thinking about it, he felt that it was more likely that Xiao Yichen deliberately used Lu Xinyan as a cover. After all, although Xiao Yichen hated Lu Xinyan, But in terms of familiar women, there is only Lu Xinyan.
Now that Yan Yulang said this, Wu Sheng suddenly felt that maybe Xiao Yichen really had some thoughts about Lu Xinyan unconsciously.
But putting aside all power disputes, let's just talk about Lu Xinyan's identity, a woman who has divorced, even if Xiao Yichen has intentions, will the Zhen Guo government agree?Will the concubine agree?Does the emperor agree?
Wu Sheng couldn't help holding his hand tightly, even he didn't know who he was nervous about, let alone whether he was in favor or against the matter of the two of them in his heart!
Lu Xinyan obediently followed Xiao Yichen for a while.
He has long legs and has always walked fast, but he accommodates her to take small steps, so Lu Xinyan does not feel tired when walking.
When he reached a place with few people, Xiao Yichen stopped, but he didn't let go of his hand.
It was only then that Lu Xinyan felt that Xiao Yichen's hand between her wrists seemed to be colder than before, "Are you alright?" She asked involuntarily.
Xiao Yichen was taken aback for a while, then smiled, "I'm fine."
That expression contained pure satisfaction and happiness, just because she asked a word of concern for him.
Lu Xinyan was concerned about Master Long's affairs, so she had no time to think about it, so she bit her lip and asked, "Has Master Long already asked the emperor to marry him? What does the emperor say?"
"Master Long entered the palace the day before yesterday and mentioned it to the emperor, and the emperor verbally agreed, but the proposal for marriage was not handed over to the emperor."
"The marriage proposal has not been handed over to the emperor? Does it mean that Lord Long has handed it over, but it has not yet reached the emperor?" Lu Xinyan asked sharply.
"Smart princess!" Xiao Yichen praised.
"How do you know?" Lu Xinyan took a breath, "Did you do something in the middle?"
She remembered that day when Xiao Yichen asked Qi Fei to pay attention to Long Tianxing's every move.
Xiao Yichen didn't hide it from her, "Tianlong Tianxing handed over the brochure the day before yesterday, and I went to the palace to steal it."
Lu Xinyan gasped again, her eyes widened, "You go...the palace...to steal something? Are you dying? If the emperor finds out, it's..."
"Are you worried about me?" Xiao Yichen asked with a smile, if you look carefully, you will find a trace of tension in his eyes, more nervous than him sneaking into the palace in the middle of the night to steal the book.
It's a pity that Lu Xinyan avoided her eyes and didn't see it, "Anyway, it's for my sake that you take such a risk, isn't it normal for me to worry about you?"
Disappointed in his heart, Xiao Yichen took Lu Xinyan's hand and put it to his lips and bit it.
The strength to vent her dissatisfaction made Lu Xinyan cry softly, and she glared at him, "Why do you always bite? Can you tell me in advance next time?"
"No!" He said angrily, "I bit my hand, why did I say it in advance?"
Lu Xinyan was dumbfounded, the speed at which this uncle changed his face was comparable to that of a Sichuan opera!
"Okay, you can do whatever you like." Lu Xinyan said angrily.
Xiao Yichen glanced at her, saw her stubborn face, couldn't help but said softly: "Are you angry?"
Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes, can your uncle stop being so smart?
What does it mean to reward a sweet date with a slap every time?
In the past, the two had little friction, as long as Xiao Yichen softened up and coaxed her, Lu Xinyan would graciously ignore it, after all Xiao Yichen has thick thighs that need to be hugged tightly!
But today, Master Long's matter is like a sharp sword hanging over her head, it will fall at some point, Xiao Yichen is still playing with her, Lu Xinyan is very upset, and turns a deaf ear to Xiao Yichen's soft words.
The two quarreled a few times, Lu Xinyan had never been really angry with him, but now she seemed to be really angry, Xiao Yichen was a little panicked, "It was my fault, don't be angry, okay? As long as you don't get angry , you want me to do anything, don’t be angry, huh?”
Seeing that his tone was very sincere, Lu Xinyan took the opportunity to bargain, "Then pay me back this hand later!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yichen agreed without hesitation.
so refreshing?Lu Xinyan blinked, "Don't lose your temper with me for no reason in the future!"
"it is good!"
"In the future, you are not allowed to talk about the past!"
"it is good!"
"Don't take care of me in the future!"
"Look at the situation!"
"In the future..." Lu Xinyan suddenly felt that her brain was not enough, she racked her brains and thought, and planned to take advantage of Xiao Yichen's easy-to-talk, to gain some benefits for herself, "The conditions for a fake marriage, follow what I said last time! "
"no!"
"In the future... huh? Why?"
"Everything else needs to be discussed, but this one has nothing to talk about!"
Fake marriage, you think it's beautiful!
Lu Xinyan asked confidently, "Why?"
Xiao Yichen half-closed his eyes, "Princess, don't push yourself too far."
Lu Xinyan's momentum immediately faltered, and she blinked her wet eyes, "Then, let the emperor give you a marriage?"
"Don't worry, there is me!"
Lu Xinyan's heart, which was floating in the air, suddenly returned to her chest after hearing his words.
She shook her wrist, "Xiao Shizi, can you let go of my hand?"
She specifically emphasized the word "hand".
Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and let go.
It feels so good to take back the initiative!Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "Thank you, Prince Xiao, for keeping your promise!"
Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, noncommittal!After tonight, your whole body is mine, including these hands, so let me make you happy first!
Lu Xinyan touched her wrist, the coolness on the wrist was still faint, she frowned, "Xiao Shizi, are you really alright?"
There was a flash of fire in Liuli's eyes, Xiao Yichen raised the corner of his lips, "I'm fine! The Queen Mother will be here soon, you go first!"
Lu Xinyan hesitated for a while, pointing to the matter of marriage, she was still a little inexplicably worried.
"Don't worry, everything is with me!"
-
Because Gongsun Mobai was holding his breath in his heart, he took big steps, even ignoring people who greeted him, and rushed forward.
At first, Bai Zhi could still follow the red figure, but slowly, she disappeared.
She had no choice but to inquire all the way, and after attracting a lot of strange eyes, she finally found a small pavilion.
Here you can see the red lanterns hanging high in the Qingfeng Palace, and you can hear the laughter and laughter floating in the wind, but this place is relatively secluded, and there are no palace people coming and going.
Bai Zhi reached out to wrap her arms around her, and rubbed up and down to keep warm.
It was very warm in Qingfeng Hall, and the cloak was put inside. She did not expect that Gongsun Mobai would ask her to come so far away.
She is not in good health, and she can't stand the wind after a short while.
I couldn't see Gongsun Mobai from the left and right, so I planned to go back the same way and get the cloak before coming back.
"Mr. Mingzhixiang, you are too dishonest. No one saw you, so you just left?" A mocking voice sounded, and then a red figure jumped out of the darkness, standing in front of Baizhi.
The speed that jumped out was too fast, bringing a gust of cold wind, Bai Zhi shivered, couldn't help taking two steps back, and asked directly without saying anything, "Mr. Gongsun, what do you want to ask?"
Gongsun Mobai took two steps closer, "At Nanshan that day, I thought you were an ordinary country girl at first, and didn't care about your life, but later I recognized you and offered to save you, what's wrong?"
He was born noble, and the education he received since he was a child is that there are differences between people.
He is the eldest grandson of the Gongsun Mansion with noble royal blood, and those who serve him, those common people, are like lowly weeds, and the death of one or two people is no different from the death of one or two grasses.
He has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and has a heart of compassion for the common people. He will not really kill the lowly slaves and common people easily, but the innate sense of superiority in his bones and the idea of dividing people into three, six, and nine classes are the same as all people in this era. Same as people of noble birth.
When Bai Zhi asked him back that day, he didn't think there was anything wrong, shouldn't it be like this?If she was just a lowly country girl whom he didn't know, why should he save her?
He took it for granted, but he didn't know why in his heart, and he was very worried about Bai Zhi's attitude that day.
Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "Mr. Gongsun, I have already thanked you for the kindness of saving me that day. If you think it is not enough, I can thank you again."
She saluted solemnly, "Young Master Gongsun, I was in Nanshan that day, thank you for your rescue!"
"I accept your thank you." Gongsun Mobai said: "But what I want is not this, I want you to answer me, do you think my behavior that day was wrong?"
Bai Zhi said: "From the perspective of Mr. Gongsun, there is nothing wrong."
Gongsun Mobai snorted coldly: "Then what do you mean to say, from your point of view, I made a mistake?"
"Gongsun Gongzi," Bai Zhi said helplessly, seeing his unrelenting expression, "It's cold outside, can you let me go back and get a cloak?"
Only then did Gongsun Mobai notice that Bai Zhi hugged her arms together and trembled slightly.
Without the slightest hesitation, he took off his coat and threw it to Bai Zhi, "Put on mine! Answer my question first!"
The clothes came with warmth, Bai Zhi only hesitated for two seconds, then wrapped herself around her body, only showing a small face the size of a palm.
"Gongsun Gongzi, I am a doctor, and I am a doctor with the heart of my parents. I only see the wounded, and I don't care about high or low."
Gongsun Mobai stared at her fiercely, "So you mean, if a beggar and I were injured at the same time now, you might save the beggar first and me later?"
Bai Zhi thought about it seriously, "If that beggar is injured more seriously than you!"
Gongsun Mobai was furious, he didn't expect that she would actually dare to answer like this, and at the same time, he was even more angry with himself, knowing that such an answer might be the answer, he insisted on asking yawningly, just for fun.
At this time, there was a neat voice of greetings from Qingfeng Hall, "See the empress dowager."
"Mr. Gongsun, the empress dowager is here. I should go back. I didn't bring any medicine with me today. I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow." Bai Zhi reluctantly took off her clothes, it was so cold.
Gongsun Mobai looked at the clothes, then at her trembling appearance, and said with disgust: "You want me to wear the clothes worn by others? Just find a place and throw them away!"
After he finished speaking, he lifted his foot and walked in the other direction.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi wrapped herself in her clothes again and walked towards Qingfeng Palace.
In Qingfeng Palace, Lu Xinyan, Wu Zhen, and Yan Qingruo were surrounding the queen mother. The queen mother held Lu Xinyan's hand and smiled, "Zhuzhu, I haven't seen you for half a month now. If the queen didn't hold this banquet, I'd just I'm afraid you still don't want to enter the palace, it seems that if Ai's family misses you in the future, they will let the queen hold a banquet and invite you."
Lu Xinyan couldn't stand the empress dowager's enthusiasm, "If you want to see Zhuzhu, empress dowager, Zhuzhu can come to the palace to accompany you at any time."
"Did you say this? You can't go back on your word!" The Queen Mother half-truthfully said.
"Zhuzhu never tells lies."
"Empress Dowager, you don't feel bad for Qingruo if you have Sister Zhuzhu." Yan Qingruo pretended to be jealous beside her.
The queen mother deliberately turned her face hard, "You ghost girl, when will the Ai family stop loving you?"
Yan Qingruo hurriedly got to the Queen Mother's side and whispered: "Then Empress Dowager, can you tell Qingruo which lady the Emperor intends to give to Shizi Xiao?"
Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help stretching her ears.
"Go, go, children, why are you asking this?" The queen mother chased her away.
"Oh, Empress Dowager, Qing Ruo is almost fifteen, not too young, you can tell Qing Ruo quietly, Qing Ruo is really curious, what kind of lady would Xiao Shizi look at in the end!"
"It's no wonder Xiao Shizi has a high vision. The Ai family thinks that there are not many people in this capital who are worthy of him."
Xiao Yichen lived in the palace for a long time due to illness when he was a child, and later he saved Wu Sheng's life, he was good-looking, smart and sensible, he was a perfect example of other children, so the Queen Mother liked him very much since childhood.
Leaving aside political factors, not to mention the ladies in the capital, the Queen Mother felt that even the few princesses in the palace, from the bottom of her heart, none of them were worthy of Xiao Yichen.
Wu Wan looks good, but her temperament is too arrogant, Wu Zhen has a good temper, but her appearance is a little bit worse.
The Lu Xinyan in front of her has a good appearance and temperament, but it's a pity that she is Heli.
Why!The Empress Dowager felt that choosing a concubine for Xiao Yichen was more difficult than choosing a concubine for her own grandson!
"Qing Ruo agrees with what the Empress Dowager said, that's why Qing Ruo is even more curious." Yan Qingruo blinked her black eyes and begged, "Empress Dowager, please reveal a little bit, Qing Ruo promises that she will never say anything!"
The Queen Mother really couldn't stand her, so she said: "I really don't know who Aijia is attracted to by Shizi Xiao, but the Emperor has said a few things that he thinks he is worthy of in his heart."
Lu Xinyan suddenly felt her breathing tightened, and her palms were slightly sweaty.
"Which ones are which ones?" Yan Qingruo hurriedly asked.
The queen mother elongated her tone, "Yes..." After Yan Qingruo's ears pricked up, the queen mother suddenly laughed, "I can't tell you! Hahaha!"
It was rare for the Queen Mother to show her childish side. Seeing Yan Qingruo's anger, Wu Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Qing Ruo, you are impatient, look at Zhuzhu, and you haven't said a word from the beginning to the end."
"Chang'an is right!" The Queen Mother followed suit.
Lu Xinyan pulled the corner of her mouth into a dry smile.
The conscience of heaven and earth, she is the one who wants to know the most!
"Sister Zhuzhu is not familiar with Xiao Shizi, so she is not interested." Yan Qingruo refused to admit it.
Lu Xinyan heheed twice.
When Bai Zhi entered Qingfeng Palace, the Empress Dowager's eyes lit up when she saw her, "Ming Zhi, come to Ai's house quickly."
Bai Zhi saved Emperor Longde's life, and the queen mother was equally happy with her.
The topic of which ladies the Emperor Longde had internally decided for Xiao Yichen was changed like this.
Yan Qingruo was curious for a while, so she turned around, anyway, she will definitely find out tonight.
Lu Xinyan felt even more uneasy.
From the look on the Empress Dowager's face just now, she couldn't tell who Emperor Longde had appointed, but one thing was certain, she was definitely not on the list!
She felt depressed and said, "The empress dowager, the princess, I want to go for a walk."
Going out for a walk has two meanings, one is really going out for a walk, and the other is internal urgency.
In this case, most people will automatically understand the meaning of the latter.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Wu Zhen asked.
"No need, the princess will accompany the empress dowager, I will come back as soon as I go."
Lu Xinyan left Qingfeng Hall alone and walked to the back, wanting to blow some air and get some air.
Not far away, Wen Ruxiang, who had been watching the situation in the hall, pretended to be inadvertently stunned, "Sister Zhiwei, is that the princess? Why did she leave the Queen Mother?"
"It seems to be a matter of internal urgency, otherwise, who would be so foolish to leave such a good opportunity to flatter the Queen Mother?"
After the Empress Dowager came back, the princes and ladies who came to the banquet stepped forward to salute. Those who were familiar with the Empress Dowager would stay beside the Empress Dowager to talk, and those who were not familiar with them would disperse and move about on their own.
In the past, with Wu Wan around, Wen Ruxiang would follow Wu Wan and the Queen Mother.
Today was the banquet for the selection of the crown prince and concubine specially organized for Xiao Yichen, the empress was afraid that Wu Wan would cause trouble, so she was locked up directly.
Without Wu Wan, the Queen Mother didn't remember who Wen Ruxiang was at all, so Wen Ruxiang had no choice but to leave and be with Zhu Zhiwei and others.
Zhu Zhiwei's eyes flickered, "Speaking of internal urgency, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Sisters, I'll come whenever I go."
A girl in pink said kindly, "Zhiwei, I'll go with you."
Wen Ruxiang pulled her back, "We're not the kids we used to be, and if people know that we have to go to the bathroom together, it's no joke."
Zhu Zhiwei didn't know how to refuse, so she hurriedly said after hearing Wen Ruxiang's words: "Sister Ruxiang said, Ping'er, I'll go by myself, I'll be back soon, you stay here, wait for me to come back and continue talking. "
"Then come back quickly."
Qingfeng Palace is one of the palaces in the palace dedicated to banquets. It not only has a banquet living room, but also has many small courtyards and wing rooms, mainly for the guests to stay overnight.
Lu Xinyan walked along the promenade until she reached a certain corner, and found a small garden there, not far from the small garden, surrounded by thin smoke.
There is... With a thought in her heart, she turned down the long corridor and walked along the small garden to the place of thin smoke, unaware that someone was quietly following behind her.
The thin smoke was getting closer and closer, and the sound of rushing water could be vaguely heard, and the palace lanterns hanging high not far away passed through the thin smoke, reflecting colorful and bright lights.
It's a hot spring!
Unexpectedly, there is a hot spring in the Qingfeng Palace!
Lu Xinyan squatted down, touched the warm water with her hands, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind.
However, how to implement it without leaving a trace or being suspected?
She stood up thoughtfully.
Suddenly there was a strong force behind her, and Lu Xinyan was pushed into the hot spring without paying attention.
thump!
"Zhuzhu!" Wu Zhen screamed from behind, "Zhu Zhiwei, what are you doing? Why are you pushing Zhuzhu into the water?"
Zhu Zhiwei backed away with a pale complexion. Seeing Lu Xinyan alone, remembering her jealousy towards her and what Wen Ruxiang said, she thought about pushing Lu Xinyan into the water, and then in the name of saving people, she would kill the young masters in Qingfeng Palace. They all called out to let them see Lu Xinyan's ugly appearance when she fell into the water and her clothes were drenched, but she didn't expect that Wu Zhen would see it.
"No, no, princess, I didn't push the princess, I just... just... wanted to talk to her, but I didn't expect... she fell down suddenly..." Zhu Zhiwei kept backing away with a pale face.
"You still dare to quibble? I saw you pushing people with my own eyes!" Wu Zhen's eyes turned red with anger, "Come here! Let me arrest Zhu Zhiwei and send her to the imperial grandmother, so that the imperial grandmother can punish her!"
"Yes, princess!"
After several palace people took Zhu Zhiwei away, Wu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, "Zhuzhu, hurry up, I'll cover you, come up quickly."
When Lu Xinyan was pushed into the water, her whole body was buried in the water, even her head was soaked.
After getting out of the water, the wind blew, and my whole body was covered with goose bumps.
Wu Zhen stretched out her hand to pull her up.
Lu Xinyan suddenly showed a painful expression, "I... sprained my ankle..."
"Then what should we do?" Wu Zhen took a deep breath and immediately made a decision, "I'll go find Bai Zhi, just wait a bit."
Fortunately, it's a hot spring, so it's okay to soak in it.
Wu Zhen was about to leave when a high-pitched female voice screamed: "Princess Zhuzhu has fallen into the water, come quickly! Princess Zhuzhu has fallen into the water, come quickly!"
Wu Zhen's complexion changed drastically, the surroundings of the hot spring are very bright, if someone sees Lu Xinyan falling into the water, especially those young men, then Lu Xinyan's reputation will be ruined!
Following those two screams, all the princes and ladies inside and outside Qingfeng Palace ran towards this side.
Some are for fun, others are for worry.
At this moment, Wu Zhen is powerless.
She gritted her teeth and hesitated whether to jump out of the water to be with Lu Xinyan, a white figure jumped into the hot spring like light, splashing a burst of beautiful water, and when the light shone, it was as gorgeous as fireworks.
Wu Zhen took a closer look, and the white figure that jumped into the water was actually Xiao Yichen, the eldest son of Duke Zhen!
She skipped a beat in her heart, and when she took a closer look, she saw that Lu Xinyan was clinging to Xiao Yichen's body like an octopus.
"Wuuu, Xiao Shizi, thank you, I sprained my ankle and almost thought I was going to drown, wuuuu..."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xinyan was crying till it rained.
Wu Zhen was dumbfounded, the Lu Xinyan she remembered was not such a delicate woman!
At this time, the hot spring was full of people.
"My God, it's really Princess Zhuzhu!"
"Who saved her, is it Xiao Shizi?"
"Wow! This Xiao Shizi and the princess, hugging each other in full view, is really out of style, out of style..."
"This Princess... is too shameless, she clearly jumped into the water on purpose and called for Prince Xiao to come and save her!" A young lady who was interested in Xiao Yichen said angrily.
If the two hug each other in public and lose face, maybe the emperor has no choice but to point out the princess to Prince Xiao!This Princess Zhuzhu, a woman who has been divorced, dares to be shameless like Mr. Xiao Xiao, how shameless he is!
