Chapter 456 Qi Jinxian falls into the water and Chen Xinghai is held responsible
It turned out that after Xiao Ying left, Concubine Shu took the ladies to appreciate the flowers, while the young masters and daughters of each family went out to play on their own.
One of the purposes of such a flower-viewing banquet is actually to allow the younger generations to get to know each other.
If there is attraction between the two and both parents have no objection, then the marriage can be arranged.
Those who come to the flower viewing banquet all have some status and position. No matter who they like, as long as they are not hostile forces, it is fine.
Although the three sisters Chen Xingyun were not clear about this, they gradually understood it with the presence of Ning Shizhao, Ning Shiqin and Han Ziqi.
There are many noble ladies and even some noble gentlemen who are trying to make friends with the three sisters.
Some came purely to build relationships, while others wanted to buy pills and kept asking about longevity pills and beauty pills.
Of course, the three of them would not reveal the details, but they also took the opportunity to praise the benefits of the two pills.
Chen Xingyun, in particular, fully demonstrated his eloquent nature as a businessman, attracting many noble ladies to place orders.
She promised that if she had any extra in the future, she would sell them to these people first.
After a while, they started calling each other sisters.
Compared with the lively atmosphere on Chen Xingyun's side, Chen Xinghai's side seemed a little deserted.
Firstly, not many people knew his identity, and secondly, he intentionally kept his distance and was basically with Han Ziheng.
Han Ziheng introduced him to several of his good friends, and the two quickly became familiar with each other and didn't feel bored at all.
Knowing that Chen Xinghai was the son of Princess Yingfeng, they all showed great enthusiasm towards him.
But unexpectedly, Chen Xinghai had already been targeted by someone.
It was Qi Jinxian.
Qi Jinxian came here today specifically for Chen Xinghai. Ever since her family members supported her in taking down Chen Xinghai, she began to think of a way.
Fortunately, the good opportunity of the flower viewing banquet soon arrived.
As a result, after entering the palace, she never found a reason to get close to him, which made her very worried.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events later. Princess Yingfeng became so famous because of the two pills that Qi Yawei changed her attitude and decided to help her.
"Aunt, will this method really work?"
After hearing her aunt's whisper, Qi Jinxian was both excited and nervous.
This is in the palace. If anything goes wrong, she will be finished.
Qi Yawei was confident, with a smile in her eyes.
"Don't worry, not many people are paying attention to Chen Xinghai right now. This is a good opportunity for you."
"If I succeed this time, Chen Xinghai will have no choice but to marry you even if he doesn't want to."
What she didn't say was that by the time they became a family, wouldn't she be able to have as many pills as she wanted?
For the sake of these two pills, she even put aside her hostility towards Xiao Ying, so she decided to help Qi Jinxian this time.
Qi Jinxian gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Now that she's here, she can't give up in vain!
"That's right. Go wait by the lake now, and I'll take care of the rest."
Qi Yawei's eyes showed approval and she was determined to win.
Qi Jinxian left quickly.
Seeing her walk away, Qi Yawei called a palace maid, whispered a few words to her, and handed her a hairpin.
The palace maid originally frowned and seemed unwilling to agree, but when she saw the hairpin in her hand was inlaid with gold and jade and was very valuable, she immediately changed her mind.
So a moment later, the palace maid came to the pavilion with a tray, where Chen Xinghai and several others were sitting, chatting happily.
"Gentlemen, please have some tea."
The palace maid lowered her head and stood next to Chen Xinghai, handing the four cups of tea on the tray to several people one by one.
The few people did not suspect anything and thought it was the order of Concubine Shu. They were indeed a little thirsty at the moment.
Unexpectedly, when the palace maid handed the tea to Chen Xinghai, her hand loosened and all the tea spilled on him.
Chen Xinghai's face darkened and he immediately stood up and shook off the tea on his body.
"ah……"
The palace maid was so frightened that she screamed and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to him and apologized.
"Please spare me, sir, please spare me, I didn't mean to do that..."
"Please spare my life, sir. I really didn't mean it..."
Han Ziheng scolded coldly, "How can you, a palace maid, be so clumsy? Hurry up and take them downstairs to change clothes!"
Chen Xinghai was also a little unhappy, and somehow he suddenly thought of what happened to Xingyun at the family reunion banquet.
He frowned slightly and felt that he was worrying too much. This was the palace.
And he was a man, could it be that some woman had deliberately set him up? He didn't think he had such charm.
"Take me to change my clothes."
Seeing that the palace maid's forehead was red from being knocked, he didn't know what to say. The most urgent thing was to change her clothes.
Tea can be dried using spiritual power, but clothes will be stained, which is really unsightly.
"Thank you for your mercy, sir. Please come this way. I will take you to change your clothes right away."
The palace maid stood up immediately as if she had been pardoned and led him to the backyard of Jingyang Palace.
"I'll be back soon."
Chen Xinghai smiled apologetically at Han Ziheng and the others.
Several people expressed their understanding and urged him to go quickly, saying that they would wait for him here.
Not long after Chen Xinghai left with the palace maid, a small figure followed with a slightly gloomy expression.
Jingyang Palace is very large, and it takes at least half a cup of tea to walk to the place where you can change clothes.
Chen Xinghai was not familiar with this place, so he didn't notice that the palace maid took him to a small path, bypassing everyone.
The scenery along the way is lush green and colorful, and it is very pleasant.
After walking for a while, Chen Xinghai couldn't help but ask, "How far is it?"
The maid replied apologetically, "Just cross the lake ahead and you'll find it. It's in the house on the other side of the lake."
Chen Xinghai looked up and saw a lake in front of him. There was a building standing on the other side of the lake. He guessed that was it.
At this moment, there was a sudden "splash" sound not far away, followed by splashing water and a woman's cry for help.
"Help, help... Is there anyone who can help me?"
"Help... Gululu... Help..."
The woman choked on the water after shouting a few times, and her voice became tearful.
Seeing that he sank deeper the more he struggled, Chen Xinghai remained indifferent and instead glanced at the woods.
He had felt something was wrong from the beginning, as if someone was watching him in the dark, so he asked how far away it was.
The moment he saw the woman fall into the water, his guess was confirmed. Sure enough, someone was targeting him and wanted to attack him.
He is not stupid and knows very well about women's reputation.
If he went into the water to save her today, the woman's reputation would be ruined by him, and he would not be able to get rid of her even if he wanted to.
He just felt it was ridiculous. Who on earth wanted to harm him and use a woman as a bargaining chip?
"Sir, what should we do? That young lady is about to drown."
The maid was surprised to find that he was indifferent. Could it be that he discovered her?
Qi Jinxian in the water was also extremely anxious. She couldn't swim. Why didn't Chen Xinghai come down to save her?
If she doesn't come down, she's really going to drown, wuwuwu...
