Chapter 554: Palace Fighting: Falling into the Water
Wen Yan turned around and saw the provocateur, raised an eyebrow and said, "Wish Lele!"
Zhu Lele walked up to Wen Yan, circled around her, and looked her up and down: "You are dressed very respectably, but you don't think that you can be on equal footing with us just by wearing fancy clothes."
Wen Yan imitated Zhu Lele's behavior, looking him up and down, with a look of disgust on his face and a "tsk tsk tsk" sound from his mouth: "To be on the same level as you, that's really unpromising!"
Pei Er stood up, raised her chin and snorted: "My lady is a fifth-rank official, do you have one?"
"I...my father is..."
"Is it possible that your father's official position can be passed on to you?"
"You..." Zhu Lele stomped his feet in anger, turned around and ran away.
Pei Er pouted: "Look at how capable she is. With just this little bit of talking skills, she dares to show off in front of us."
Ying Zhilin came over and took Wen Yan's hand, "Let's go, let's go into the palace."
After entering the palace, men and women were separated.
Men went to pay their respects to the emperor, while women went to the harem to pay their respects to the empress.
Arrived at the Queen's palace.
Zhu Lele, the Lan family, and Princess Jinghe were all in the hall.
Wen Yan followed behind Mrs. Bai and saluted politely.
As soon as she stood up, the Sixth Princess came skipping to Wen Yan's side, took her hand, and called out sweetly, "Sister Yan, I finally see you."
She lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around twice in front of Wen Yan: "This is the dress you gave me, I like it so much."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "I made the dress with Your Highness in mind, and it is indeed worthy of Your Highness."
Princess Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan and sneered, "Wen Yan, I'll let you be proud for a while longer."
Soon, the palace banquet began.
Huang Ying'er brought her mother to the banquet.
He sat above Wen Yan.
The palace banquet was as boring as ever.
Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin were eating heartily.
Huang Ying'er, on the other hand, looked around while eating, her eyes full of excitement and gossip.
As if expecting something to happen.
Wen Yan threw a piece of cake at her.
Huang Ying'er turned around and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
"What are you looking at?"
Huang Ying'er: "The three key elements of palace fighting: framing, drugging, and drowning."
Wen Yan: "Uh..."
I guess she read some bizarre novel again.
Wen Yan was thinking about this when a little palace maid came to refill her wine.
The little palace maid's hand trembled, and the wine spilled on Wen Yan's dress.
The little palace maid was frightened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Madam, please forgive me. I didn't mean it."
Wen Yan waved her hand: "It's okay."
The maid trembled and said, "It's freezing cold, and wearing wet clothes will easily catch a cold.
Madam, let me take you to change your clothes."
Wen Yan's eyes moved and she smiled at the palace maid: "Then you lead the way."
Ying Zhilin took Wen Yan's hand and said, "I'll go with you."
Wen Yan was thinking about how to refuse him when the palace maid winked at a young eunuch.
The young eunuch immediately stepped forward and tripped Ying Zhilin.
Wen Yan shook her skirt, looking distressed: "Let's go first. Our clothes are soaked and stick to our bodies, which is very uncomfortable."
The palace maid hurriedly led the way.
After a while, the palace maid led her to a remote lake.
"Aren't you going to change clothes? Do you want me to change by the lake?" Wen Yan looked at the palace maid with a smile.
The palace maids ignored Wen Yan, lowered their heads and walked away quickly.
Wen Yan wanted to chase after them, but seven or eight people came out from behind the rockery and blocked Wen Yan's way.
Wen Yan looked at the three people walking in front and laughed: "I was wondering who was playing such a boring trick, but it turned out to be you three."
The fifth princess Ji Xiangyun, Miss Lan Tingxue of the Lan family, and Princess Jinghe Gu Saisai.
All those who had grudges against Wen Yan gathered together.
"Bored? I hope you can still be so stubborn later!" Ji Xiangyun waved his hand and ordered his men, "Entertain this wife of the number one scholar well."
At Ji Xiangyun's command, all the palace maids they brought with them were forced to come towards Wen Yan.
Wen Yan tried to run, but his escape route was immediately blocked by them.
Soon, Wen Yan was forced to the edge of the lake by them. Her lower back hit the handrail and she looked panicked: "You...what do you want to do!
If you come any closer, I'm going to fall into the lake.
Do you want to freeze me to death?
If anything happens to me, the Queen and the Sixth Princess will not let you go.
Today in the Queen's bedroom, you saw how much the Queen values me."
"You have to be alive to file a complaint!" Lan Tingxue covered her mouth and let out a series of giggles.
"You just open your mouth. Do you think the Queen will believe you or all of us?" Gu Saisai also sneered.
Wen Yan's cheeks puffed up with anger, and she was furious. "You...you've gone too far! You are so cruel and vicious."
"Oh, you're quite good at swearing with your little mouth. When you get down to the lake, drink enough water." Ji Xiangyun gave an order.
All the palace maids rushed towards Wen Yan.
Wen Yan curled up the corners of her mouth, then acted as if she was panicked and dodged in a hurry.
When the first man pushed her with both hands, she pretended to stumble, narrowly avoiding the other person's hands and striking hard with her elbow.
'ah……'
'thump--'
A sound of water.
A palace maid fell into the lake, splashing a lot of water.
Just as the palace maids were checking the situation, Wen Yan pushed two of them, and the two palace maids fell into the lake like dumplings.
There was only one palace maid left, and she was already on guard.
Wen Yan half-knelt down, hugged the maid's legs and lifted them up.
The palace maid had no time to react and fell into the lake.
In the blink of an eye.
The four palace maids were cleaned up by the paint and splashed in the lake.
Wen Yan looked at the three of them provocatively: "Come and see, your people are performing a spitting performance in the water!"
"Liu Wenyan, you actually attacked my people! I'll skin you alive!" Ji Xiangyun and the other two ran to the lake.
Looking at the people struggling in the lake, it was as embarrassing as if Wen Yan had slapped her in the face!
She turned around and slapped Wen Yan.
The expected slapping sound did not come.
Ji Xiangyun's arm was grabbed by Wen Yan.
Ji Xiangyun's eyes widened: "How dare you resist me!"
"If I don't resist, am I going to stand here and let you hit me?" Wen Yan smiled at her gently. "It's rude not to reciprocate, Fifth Princess. I hope you like my return gift!"
Wen Yan raised his other hand.
Ji Xiangyun thought Wen Yan was going to slap her, and subconsciously raised her hands to protect her face.
As a result, Wen Yan pushed her away.
Ji Xiangyun felt dizzy and then he was completely submerged in water.
The lake water is freezing cold.
Ji Xiangyun struggled desperately.
Lan Tingxue looked at Wen Yan as if she were a madman: "Liu Wen Yan, you actually tried to murder the princess! You're dead!"
"That's right. Murdering the royal bloodline is a capital crime! Liu Wenyan, just wait for death!"
Lan Tingxue and Gu Saisai looked at each other and went to complain to Concubine Lan.
The two turned and left.
