Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 47

  Sun Xiuhua blinked slowly and looked at Princess Jing.

   Princess Jing held her hand and asked again.

  Sun Xiuhua struggled in her heart for a moment, then said bluntly, "Somehow, she slipped and fell into the lake... I caused trouble for my aunt and cousin."

  Why did she fall into the water? Could it be that her cousin who was walking beside her didn't notice at all?

   But the cousin didn't say anything.

   What else can she say? Said that Tang Wei, the second girl of the Marquis of Wuning, tripped her on purpose, made her fall into the water, and asked her aunt to do justice for her?

  Sun Xiuhua laughed at himself in his heart.

  What is she, an orphan girl who is under the fence of others, will my aunt offend the Marquis of Wuning, offend the princess, and offend the prince for her?

   Say it, Auntie can't do anything. Because of her powerlessness, she might be blamed for her ignorance.

   She's not that ignorant yet.

  Princess Jing patted Sun Xiuhua's hand: "Why are you causing trouble? You are lucky if you are fine."

   "Auntie, I want to sleep for a while."

  Princess Jing tucked the quilt for Sun Xiuhua, and instructed softly: "Wait after drinking the cold-dispelling soup before going to sleep."

  Sun Xiuhua nodded obediently.

   Princess Jing was relieved and left with Qi Qiong.

   went out, Qi Qiong said: "Mother concubine is much gentler to cousin than to us."

   Princess Jing glared at her daughter: "Don't look at how much your cousin has suffered today. I haven't even mentioned it yet, why didn't you eat in the Yuyuan Garden, why did you go to the Bamboo Garden?"

  If you don't go to the bamboo garden, you will never fall into the water.

   Qi Qiong sneered: "It's not Tang Wei, she has to go to the bamboo garden to see the deer. So many noble girls have been aroused by her, and it's not easy for her daughter to refuse."

  Princess Jing frowned: "This second girl in the Marquis of Wuning has a bad temperament, you should stay away from now on."

   Qi Qiong looked helpless: "My daughter doesn't want to deal with her either, but she always leans by my side, so it's not easy to offend me."

   To outsiders, the palace looks very noble, but she has long known that it is different in the capital and in the north.

  Some people, she, the princess, has to endure it.

   "So, Qiong'er doesn't like Second Lady Tang?" Princess Jing was a little surprised.

  Tang Er girl often invites her daughter to play together, she thought the two of them would get along well.

   Qi Qiong pouted: "Looking at the capital, there are probably not many who really like Tang Wei."

   There are very few who really dare to offend.

   Qi Qiong suddenly thought of Lin Hao.

   Previously in Yuyuan, Lin Hao was honest with Tang Wei, not to mention it was quite comfortable.

   "Silly girl." Princess Jing looked at her daughter with a somewhat hated expression, "Why is it so real? If you don't like it, it doesn't mean you want to offend it."

   Qi Qiong blinked.

  What amazing remarks will the mother-in-law make?

"For example, she likes to listen to Zhang San, but you say Li Si; she likes to travel in the mountains, but you like to play in the water. It's not easy to get along and there is no blame. Over time, she won't come to you." Princess Jing pointed to her daughter .

   "My daughter has been taught." Qi Qiong thought for a while, "But what if she likes her brother?"

   Princess Jing almost fell down.

   "Mother, be careful." Qi Qiong reached out and supported Princess Jing.

   Princess Jing grabbed her daughter's hand and seemed to be very frightened: "Do you like your eldest brother or second brother?"

   "My daughter just has this worry..."

   Princess Jing agreed: "It's right to worry."

   She doesn't want a daughter-in-law like Tang Er girl!

   It seems that the marriage of the two sons is about to be urgent.

   While the mother and daughter were talking, it was time for Lin Hao to rest.

   At this time, Lin Hao had just changed into dry clothes and was about to leave and return to the General's Mansion.

   Seeing Princess Jing coming in, Lin Hao and Lin Chan saluted together.

   Princess Jing stepped forward and held Lin Hao's hand: "Thanks to Miss Lin Er today."

   "Princess is very polite, I happen to know some water, and saving Miss Sun is just a small effort."

  Princess Jing shook her head: "This is not a small effort. Even if you understand water, going into the water to save people is also risky, not to mention that there are so many people there."

   Even if safety is not considered, it takes courage for a woman to dive in public to save someone.

  The girl's family always has more scruples than men, and bears more than men.

   "The kind deeds of Miss Lin Er will not be forgotten by the Jing Palace. If you encounter trouble in the future, feel free to come to me."

   Hearing that Princess Jing's words were not polite, Lin Hao nodded with a smile and bid farewell.

   "Qian'er, send me two girls Lin."

   Sending good sister Lin away, Princess Jing went to Qi Shuo's place.

   "Mother concubine, you are here." The second son Qi Huan was also there. Seeing Princess Jing coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

   Princess Jing looked at the eldest son who had changed clothes. Seeing that his face was okay, she finally felt relieved: "I heard that you jumped into the lake to save people, but the mother was startled."

   "You're worried."

   Princess Jing was still dissatisfied: "There are so many people, and you are not the only one who understands water. What can you do with this."

   It doesn't mean that others can be saved, but his son can't be saved, but Shuo'er has a heart attack!

   Princess Jing flew at the second son with a knife: "Don't Huan'er know water, why did you let your eldest brother into the water?"

  Qi Huan: "..." To be honest, compared with his eldest brother, he always felt that he picked it up.

   "Big brother moved too fast." Qi Huan felt a little aggrieved, "Before he could react, big brother jumped off."

   He thought that he had mistaken the person, and the back figure who jumped into the lake eagerly and decisively did not look like his usual calm and indifferent brother.

   "It's been a while since we heard the movement and rushed over. My son was worried that something would happen if it was too late."

   This worry is justified, but Princess Jing still has some doubts in her heart: Everyone knows that something will happen after a long time, so why is it only Shuoer who jumped down without hesitation?

   This shows that Shuoer is the most kind-hearted—bah, the most impatient.

   A guess flashed through Princess Jing's mind: Shuo'er should not be interested in Xiuhua, right?

   This kind of speculation cannot be directly asked, and Princess Jing decided to observe it secretly for some time.

   "By the way, what did the girl who reported the letter say that you were rescued?"

  No one here in the capital knows that Shuo’er and Huan’er both understand water, and their water is good.

   Qi Shuo looked embarrassed: "After jumping into the lake, my feet cramped."

   "Just say don't be brave!" Princess Jing was frightened for a while.

   "I won't dare in the future." Qi Shuo replied with a smile, and changed the subject without a trace, "How about my cousin and the second girl Lin?"

   "Your cousin is fine, Miss Lin has returned home."

   Seeing that the eldest son was indeed fine, Princess Jing lifted her foot and left.

   "Brother, I also went back." Qi Huan took two steps and turned to go back, "Brother, did you really have cramps at that time?"

   "Otherwise?" Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows.

  Qi Huan smiled: "If I jumped into the lake and realized that there were two girls in the lake, I would also get cramps in my feet."

   His conscience is uneasy if he does not save people, and he might get into trouble after saving people.

   "I didn't think about it that much." Qi Shuo closed his eyes, looking a little tired.

   At that time, he only had one thought: he didn't want to see her happen again.

   Thanks to the book friends who tipped and voted, see you tomorrow.
