Chapter 318 Falling
into the Water Lu Wenjing was quite surprised that He Yanxiu agreed to this, but when she thought that this was probably because He Yanxiu wanted to refuse in person, she felt it was reasonable.
After all, some things need to be concluded.
Otherwise, if it is dragged on, it will become a problem.
Lu Wenjing understood this truth.
"Then Sister Ying and I will wait for my cousin there. My cousin needs to come over quickly." Lu Wenjing said.
"Yeah." He Yanxiu agreed, and after Lu Wenjing walked away, he returned to Qin Peiyou.
"Why did Miss Lu come to you for something important?" Qin Peiyou saw He Yanxiu looking for something, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere in the palace? Do you want me to inform my mother?"
"No need." He Yanxiu said, "She is just helping someone pass on a message."
"Oh?" Qin Peiyou raised his eyebrows, looking curious, "What do you mean?"
"She said that Miss Yan had something to tell me, and asked me to meet her in the pavilion over there."
Qin Peiyou frowned when he heard this, "The Yan family still refuses to give up? Asking you to go to that pavilion at this time... doesn't seem appropriate."
Banquets and the like are the most likely to cause trouble...
"It's not very appropriate, so I plan to find someone to accompany me." He Yanxiu smiled with his eyes narrowed, looking as cunning as a fox.
Qin Peiyou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Who would you like to go with?
It can’t be him…
That won’t do!
What if Miss Yan gets angry and gets involved? No, no...
Seeing Qin Peiyou's head shaking like a rattle, He Yanxiu rolled his eyes at him, "You want to go? I won't take you with me. Such a good marriage should be given to those who are looking forward to it."
The person you are looking forward to?
Who is...
…
Yan Siying looked around in the pavilion for a long time. When she saw Lu Wenjing coming back, she couldn't wait to greet her, "How is it? Is Lord He willing to come over?"
"Yes." Lu Wenjing nodded, "My cousin said he would come over, but he has to wait until he finishes talking to the Third Prince. Let me tell Sister Ying first and ask her to wait a little longer."
Yan Siying was overjoyed when she heard this, "Is Lord He really coming?"
After a moment, he muttered to himself, "Lord He is a man of his words. If he said he would come, then he will definitely come. We just need to wait here for a while."
That’s great, He Yanxiu will come.
That is truly God’s will.
She will definitely get this done! After waiting for a while with Lu Wenjing, Yan Siying saw He Yanxiu walking towards them from a distance, and her heart was excited and beating violently.
But when He Yanxiu came closer, Yan Siying realized that the person coming was not just He Yanxiu.
Also traveling with them were the First Prince Qin Peiyuan and the Second Prince Qin Peiheng.
When Yan Siying saw this, her heart sank, but after a moment she didn't care too much.
As long as He Yanxiu is here, it will be fine. With everyone watching, he can’t deny it…
When He Yanxiu and the other two approached, Yan Siying and Lu Wenjing bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, Your Highness, and Lord He."
"Miss Yan and Miss Lu, there's no need to be polite." Qin Peiyuan, who had the highest status among the three, spoke first. "I just ran into Lord He and learned that Lord He was invited by Miss Lu and Miss Yan to enjoy the lake and fish. My second brother and I came to join in the fun. I wonder if Miss Lu and Miss Yan welcome us?"
The Yan family is powerful and has always wanted to marry into the He family. Although the He family has no such intention, the Yan family is also willing to stand on Qin Peiyou's side, which is something Qin Peiyuan does not want to see.
Hearing that Yan Siying invited He Yanxiu to come over to talk, Qin Peiyuan was worried that the two might have developed feelings for each other, so he hurried over with Qin Peiheng to disrupt the situation.
Yan Siying hurriedly bowed, "It is a blessing for me that the First and Second Princes can come together. I welcome them very much."
After they sat down, the maids brought them tea and snacks.
We exchanged a few pleasantries and chatted for a while. The topics were all very imaginative and there were a lot of smiles on our faces.
Although Yan Siying smiled apologetically, she was absent-minded and kept glancing at the railing.
If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve my goal...
Yan Siying rolled her eyes, and when she saw a white shadow walking across the Imperial Lake, she pretended to be curious, "What is that?"
"It seems to be a egret?" Lu Wenjing responded after looking around.
"White egrets are very common, but the egrets in the imperial garden are very small and look more elegant than cranes."
As He Yanxiu spoke, he stood up and walked towards the railing beside the pavilion.
"Really? Let me take a look." Seeing this, Yan Siying also moved to the side, trying to stand with He Yanxiu.
"Your Highness and Your Highness, come and take a look. The egrets over there seem to be something unusual."
He Yanxiu's words aroused the interest of Qin Peiyuan and Qin Peiheng. They stood up and stood next to He Yanxiu.
Lu Wenjing also came over.
As a result, the order in which the people stood at this time, from east to west, was Lu Wenjing, Yan Siying, He Yanxiu, Qin Peiyuan and Qin Peiheng.
Seeing that He Yanxiu's clothes were so close, Yan Siying gritted her teeth and stood next to He Yanxiu calmly.
Perhaps because his attention was on the egret, He Yanxiu stood where he was and did not move at all.
The time is now!
Yan Siying gritted her teeth and pretended to slip. She screamed first and then bumped her body against the railing.
The originally shaky railing made a "creaking" sound under Yan Siying's strong impact and fell into the lake. Yan Siying was unable to stand steadily and also fell into the lake.
Originally, because of fear and falling, the hands subconsciously grabbed the objects closest to them, which was the most common thing.
Yan Siying did the same at this time, her hands were "subconsciously" grabbing He Yanxiu's clothes, intending to drag him into the lake.
But when Yan Siying actually grasped the sleeve in her hand and pulled the man closer and closer to her, she was stunned.
The person who was pulled down by him was not He Yanxiu, but His Highness Qin Peiyuan!
“Plop!”
The lake water splashed very high, and Yan Siying and Qin Peiyuan were already mostly submerged in the water.
“Help, help!”
Yan Siying slapped the lake water and struggled to keep her head above the water, trying to breathe and call for help.
She knew a little about swimming, but because the plan went wrong and Qin Peiyuan was pulled into the lake, Yan Siying's mind was in a mess. In addition, the clothes she wore in winter were quite thick, and the clothes she wore to enter the palace today were very complicated and layered. After being soaked in water, they became very heavy, making it impossible for her to swim normally. She could only shout for help.
As a prince, Qin Peiyuan had to learn swimming. Although his clothes had become heavy due to being soaked in water, he was able to keep himself afloat and even swim to the shore.
