Next to the Ziwei Hall and the Imperial Garden is a small green lake with lotus leaves everywhere. The lotus has withered.

The eunuch came out and announced that the concubine selection banquet was about to begin.

There were more than thirty noble ladies in total, and they immediately stopped talking. They lined up automatically and walked towards Ziwei Hall.

The maids around them were blocked at the outermost edge. Can't follow anymore.

Hua Wanru and Xie Mingyue, in tacit understanding, walked at the back. Keep your head down the whole time.

Not far from them, next to a bush of flowers.

Princess Xinrong and Shen Jialin were chatting idly.

From time to time, Shen Jialin's gaze passed over the flowers and looked at the group of noble ladies on the other side.

Princess Xinrong saw it and shook her head. I couldn't help but look over.

Just then, he met Hua Wanru's eyes, who suddenly turned her head.

They both smiled at each other. Then look away.

Suddenly a palace maid came over. And the princess whispered.

"Princess, everything is ready!"

The princess' eyes twinkled and she nodded. The palace maid quickly retreated.

Shen Jialin didn't notice anything unusual about the princess. He stared at the group of noble ladies as they walked further and further away. I feel depressed but I can't vent.

He clenched his hands secretly.

I feel unwilling in my heart. He always felt that after today, he would lose the most important person to him.

But he knew his identity. Even though he was the son of a princess, he was in front of the old emperor, his uncle. Nothing.

The old emperor only cares about the crown prince and the eldest grandson.

He loved Hua Wanru, the daughter of Duke Anguo. But the old emperor wanted Hua Wanru to marry his eldest grandson. How could he win?

He was very unwilling. But he didn't know what Hua Wanru felt. Nor can you ruin her reputation in a despicable way.

So in the end, he could only grit his teeth and wish you the best! I hope the emperor’s eldest grandson will be nice to Hua Wanru.

Originally, he was not going to appear here today.

But Princess Xinrong invited him to come to the palace to accompany her to appreciate the flowers.

He didn't want to come at first, but in the end he thought, maybe he could see Hua Wanru again, even though she was not yet the Emperor's Eldest Grandson's Consort.

So I came here reluctantly.

I just heard from afar that the concubine selection banquet had begun.

It was as if his mind and spirit had been drained away.

I can only watch her go!

Hua Wanru followed at the end of the noble lady. As I walked, I thought about the plan in my mind.

Her plan was twofold.

The first is that the red rash on the body was discovered by others. This is like having an infectious disease. The old emperor would definitely not let his eldest grandson marry her.

The second is that he had a pill hidden on his body and crushed it. There will be body odor on the body. I believe any man can’t stand it!

Anyway, today, no matter what, she cannot be chosen by the emperor's eldest grandson. She doesn't want to be the emperor's eldest grandson's consort.

She is still secretly planning her own plan! I thought that everything would happen one by one in the hall later. Or both.

I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings.

As she passed by the lake. Suddenly, a furry little white dog rushed out from the corner.

Rushing straight towards Hua Wanru.

He kept making "woof woof woof" sounds in his mouth.

Hua Wanru was stunned for a moment.

I've been following my master for many years and I know a few tricks, so I should be able to dodge them!

But she did not hide. Instead, a smile appeared on her lips, and she went straight ahead, exclaiming before being bitten by the dog.

"Plop", he fell straight into the lake.

God help me, she thought.

If she fell into the lake, her face would be scratched and disfigured by the water plants or something. I guess I can escape this disaster.

Everyone was shocked.

A palace maid and eunuch shouted hurriedly.

"Hurry, help! Someone fell into the water!"

"It was Princess Yanlin who fell into the water!"

"Hurry up and save them..."

Everyone was in a panic in an instant.

All the noble ladies were also panicked. I don’t know what to do.

Those who disliked Hua Wanru simply crossed their arms and watched the show on the shore. He also intentionally or unintentionally obstructed the palace maids and eunuchs from rescuing people.

Just at this moment, Shen Jialin turned her head and stopped looking.

Suddenly I heard someone fall into the water. He was stunned at first.

Later I heard that it was Princess Yanlin who fell into the water.

He didn't have time to think and just jumped down. Just swim towards the water where there are rippling water. The speed is very fast.

Princess Xinrong, who was originally standing next to him, had a smile in the corner of her eyes.

She thought, this is all she can do to help! As for whether it will succeed later, it depends on their luck.

I guess Hua Lingyi won’t blame her!

Princess Xinrong thought of the scene where Hua Lingyi asked to see her privately and asked for her help. I think it’s so much fun.

"Your Highness!" the maid beside her reminded.

Princess Xinrong quickly returned to her panicked look.

In a hurry, he went around the shore.

Hua Wanru fell into the lake. It was somewhat stimulated by the water in the lake. I couldn't help but shiver.

I thought, this water is so cold!

She pretended that she couldn't swim and flapped her wings vigorously a few times. Just waiting for the palace maid to rescue him. As a result, he was hugged tightly.

Just as she was about to struggle, she heard an anxious voice behind her.

"Miss Hua! Miss Hua! Are you okay?"

Hua Wanru was stunned for a moment, and when she realized that the other person was Shen Jialin, she felt relieved.

She knew that he was really good to her! It won't harm her.

Suddenly his eyes flashed. Perhaps, this time she could use him and truly avoid the selection of concubines! Once and for all!

After all, if she had physical contact with other men, it would be impossible for her to attend the emperor's eldest grandson's concubine selection banquet!

In the end, even if I have no choice, marrying Shen Jialin seems like a good idea!

After she figured it out, she stopped struggling and simply closed her eyes, pretending to be unconscious.

Shen Jialin felt the soft and slender body in his arms, with all its weight pressing on him. I knew it was not good.

He turned her body over. I saw her eyes were closed tightly. Thought she was choking on the water. There is no time to delay and we must go ashore.

But on the shore, people were watching, both men and women. Knowing that they had reached the shore, Hua Wanru's clothes stuck to her body, revealing her curves. That reputation is completely ruined.

He gritted his teeth, picked up Hua Wanru, and swam hard to the other side of the lake.

If people on the shore want to come over, they have to go around the rockery and flowers. It takes a while to come here. By then, he can cover Hua Wanru's body.

He had good physical strength and quickly carried Hua Wanru to the shore on the other side of the lake. He quickly laid Hua Wanru flat on the ground.

Seeing her unconscious, he hesitated for a moment and then thought about giving her some air! As a result, Hua Wanru coughed lightly and woke up slowly.

Shen Jialin was stunned. It’s a bit of a pity! It's also a bit embarrassing.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore. Quickly take off your outer robe. It was soaking wet though! But it still covered Hua Wanru. Covering her graceful body.

Hua Wanru looked at him blankly for a few seconds. Suddenly laughed.

"Thank you!"

Hua Wanru wanted to thank him! Successfully helped her escape from the concubine selection banquet! Thank you for his meticulousness and thoughtfulness!

Shen Jialin was stunned. He quickly shook his head, his face a little red.

"Miss Hua, you don't have to thank me! I'm glad you're okay!"

"Yeah, I'm fine! But I think Mr. Shen might be in trouble!"
