Chapter 319: Suffering a loss
But...
First, Yan Siying asked He Yanxiu to come over and talk, and then the railings of the pavilion in the well-repaired Imperial Garden broke, causing people to fall into the lake.
Among them...
Tsk, that’s interesting.
Qin Peiyuan, who understood the key, looked at Yan Siying who was struggling with a playful look in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he swam towards Yan Siying.
Since Yan Siying wants to find an ideal husband using this method, he might as well help her.
As a result, the Yan family had to change sides and become his supporters.
Moreover, Yan Siying is extremely talented and beautiful...
Qin Peiyuan held his breath, swam hard to Yan Siying's side, put his arms around her waist, and dragged her to the lakeside.
Yan Siying had just choked on water several times and was filled with fear and despair. When she found someone saving her, she was delighted at first, but when she saw clearly that it was Qin Peiyuan, she became so angry that she fainted.
“Hurry up and save them!”
"Call the doctor!"
“…”
The palace maids and guards who could swim jumped into the lake to save people. The palace maids and eunuchs on the shore were busy looking for doctors and reported the matter to the empress and several concubines.
There was chaos in the Imperial Garden because Yan Siying and Qin Peiyuan fell into the water.
…
After a cup of tea, Yan Siying was placed in the nearest side hall, and the imperial physician also arrived to treat her.
After a moment, the imperial physician bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Yan is fine. She just fainted due to choking on water and being too frightened. I have already given Miss Yan an acupuncture treatment and she will wake up soon."
"I will prescribe a prescription for conditioning. When Miss Yan wakes up, she will take the medicine according to the prescription and will be cured in a few days."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhuang." The Queen said, "Doctor Zhuang, please write the prescription as soon as possible and prepare the herbs so that Miss Yan can take the medicine later."
Yan Siying is the daughter of Minister Yan, and this incident happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet hosted by the Queen. The Queen felt that she had an obligation to handle these matters.
"Yes." Doctor Zhuang bowed and went to prepare the medicinal materials as instructed.
The Queen took two steps forward and bowed slightly. "Imperial Doctor Zhuang is very skilled in medicine. Madam Yan can rest assured. However, this incident happened in the palace. It was my negligence that caused Miss Yan to suffer this crime..."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Madam Yan knelt down hastily. "This happened suddenly and it was really hard to predict. Your Majesty is in charge of the harem and has to deal with a myriad of things every day. It's really hard work."
"My daughter fell into the water because the railings were old and loose. It should be because the people in the Imperial Garden did not check it carefully. And it was cold today. I don't think anyone would think that someone would go to the pavilion in the lake to enjoy the scenery."
"This was just an accident. Your Majesty, please do not blame yourself."
Her daughter went to the pavilion in the lake for no reason and was with He Yanxiu and others. The reason was self-evident. Mrs. Yan understood her daughter's thoughts and temperament, and naturally understood the key.
If the Queen Mother conducts a thorough investigation, she will surely find out that it was Yan Siying who did it. When she is held accountable, it will not only be a matter of reputation, but the entire Yan family will be implicated.
Mrs. Yan interrupted first, wanting to take the opportunity to stop the matter and settle it as an accident.
The Queen did not think too much about it. She just thought that Madam Yan was just worried that she, the Queen Mother, would think that Yan Siying was not behaving properly, so she stopped talking about it and just said, "Madam Yan, please take care of Miss Yan first. I will go to see Yuan'er first."
"Yes." Mrs. Yan lowered her eyes and responded.
The queen left the east side hall and went to the west side hall.
At this time, Qin Peiyuan had changed into clean clothes, wrapped himself in a blanket, and was warming himself around the charcoal stove. He was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and drinking it while shivering.
Qin Yishu sat aside, looking somewhat unhappy.
"Your Majesty." The Queen bowed.
"Get up." Qin Yishu raised his hand. "How could something like this happen out of the blue?"
A man and a woman fell into the water together. Although they were wearing thick clothes in winter, they were still in a rush when rescuing people underwater, and it was inevitable that they would have physical contact.
When Yan Siying was rescued by Qin Peiyuan and brought ashore, both of them were in a disheveled state.
Things like this…
Qin Yishu frowned.
"Father." Qin Peiyuan's voice trembled because of the cold. "At that time, the railing of the pavilion broke and Miss Yan fell. She probably reached out to grab something subconsciously before she fell. I was dragged down by Miss Yan and fell into the lake."
"There are differences between men and women, not to mention that Miss Yan is still unmarried. I wanted to wait for the palace maid to rescue Miss Yan, but Miss Yan can't swim. I was worried that Miss Yan's life was in danger, so I rushed to rescue Miss Yan."
"If this matter has any impact on Miss Yan's reputation, it is my fault. But I just can't bear to watch a life being lost in vain in front of me..."
"Please punish me, Father and Mother."
Qin Peiyuan was soaked in the water for a while because he saved Yan Siying. The lake water was cold in winter, and Qin Peiyuan's lips turned purple after he came ashore, which made the queen feel distressed.
"You were kind-hearted and saved someone, and you did nothing wrong." The Queen spoke up for Qin Peiyuan, "Your Majesty, this happened suddenly, and Yuan'er was kind-hearted. He should not be punished for saving someone."
Qin Yishu frowned even more, "That being said, after this incident, the Yan family wants to thank Yuan'er for saving their lives, but in reality, it is Yuan'er who wants to give Miss Yan an explanation."
For the royal family, it was somewhat aggrieved.
"Then..." The queen thought for a moment, "Yuan'er is the eldest prince, and now he only has Wu as his principal wife. Why not marry Miss Yan into the palace as a concubine?"
It’s just right that we have such a capable helper in the Yan family.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then sighed, "This is the only way."
But a daughter of a minister is going to be a concubine to a prince...
Speaking of which, it was somewhat embarrassing for Minister Yan.
"You tell this matter to Madam Yan. If the Yan family agrees, I will choose a date for the marriage." The emperor added.
By then, if you reward me with some treasures, that would be enough.
"Yes." The queen responded and lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes.
After the emperor left, the queen went to discuss the matter with Madam Yan.
Madam Yan looked at the unconscious Yan Siying and sighed, "Everything is up to the Queen."
So, it means I agree.
The queen happily took Madam Yan's hand and said, "Siying is a smart and virtuous child. I have always liked her very much. When she marries Yuan'er in the future, I will definitely love her very much..."
Mrs. Yan listened absent-mindedly to the words of winning over. She kept glancing at Yan Siying, who looked pale at the moment, and felt more and more depressed.
You have to bear the consequences of your own sins, there is no other way.
The news that the Queen and the Emperor intended to arrange a marriage between Qin Peiyuan and Yan Siying spread quickly in the palace, and within a stick of incense, it reached the ears of Qin Peiyou and He Yanxiu.
Qin Peiyou was shocked after hearing what the eunuch who came to report the news said.
February is over, thank you all for your support~ (End of this chapter)
