Eunuch Quan came over in a hurry: "Your Majesty! It's bad! Something happened to the eldest prince!"

Emperor Jingxuan asked calmly, "What could happen to him?"

He just left the imperial study and should not have left the palace yet.

Eunuch Quan said anxiously: "His Highness was knocked into the water by Lord Wei!"

Emperor Jingxuan's eyebrows twitched.

It's Wei Ting again!

A quarter of an hour later, the instigator Wei Ting and the victim Xiao Duye were both brought before Emperor Jingxuan.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at the devil Wei Ting, and then at the shivering drowned chicken Xiao Duye, and his teeth began to ache.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "What happened this time?!"

"Oh, this is what happened." Wei Ting said slowly, "Today I went to the palace to teach the two princesses and the other rich girls how to ride and shoot. Who would have thought that a horse went mad? In order to prevent the mad horse from hitting the students, I had to ride the horse out first."

Eunuch Fu whispered, "There is indeed a mad horse."

Emperor Jingxuan frowned: "Why does Crazy Horse always appear? Did Hui'an fight with Lingxi again?"

Eunuch Fu smiled awkwardly.

Isn’t it?

Princess Hui'an quarreled with Princess Jingning in the palace, and then quarreled with Princess Lingxi when she went to the palace academy. In short, she was always restless.

Emperor Jingxuan pinched his aching brows.

Wei Ting continued with a sigh, "It was purely an accident that I bumped into His Highness... Mainly because I didn't expect that His Highness didn't know how to swim, otherwise I would have bumped into Judge Hu."

Hu Jiusheng outside the door shuddered.

Xiao Duye also shuddered.

This is a rather infuriating incident. After Xiao Duye fell into the water, his personal eunuch and the palace maids around him immediately jumped into the water.

Wei Ting stopped them and asked each of them, "Can you swim?"

"Are you good at water?"

"The kind that can save someone and not drown yourself."

Everyone looked at each other.

Wei Ting said leisurely: "That's all. His Highness is a strong swimmer and doesn't need you to save him."

Then he let Xiao Duye drink several pounds of dirty water in the pool. His eyes rolled back and he wished he had only his last breath left before pretending to pull him out.

He raised his bandaged right hand and said, "If Your Highness had told me earlier that he couldn't swim, I would have jumped into the water to rescue him even at the risk of getting my wound infected."

Xiao Duye was so angry that he had a heart attack.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at his eldest son suspiciously: "Aren't you good at swimming?"

Wei Ting looked puzzled: "Yes, Your Highness, you are such a bad swimmer that you almost drowned. How did you save Miss Qin that day?"

Emperor Jingxuan's stern gaze fell on his eldest son's face.

Xiao Duye's eyes flashed, and when he was about to explain, he spat out a mouthful of water first.

Wei Ting patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Your Highness, don't be afraid. It's just a crime of deceiving the emperor. You are His Majesty's biological son. His Majesty will definitely not be willing to punish you severely."

"Miss! Miss!"

Qin Yanran was sitting in front of the dressing table applying ointment when the maid stumbled in.

Qin Yanran frowned: "Why are you so flustered? You will be a servant in the palace in the future. How can you be so unruly if you continue to be so unruly?"

The maid lowered her head aggrievedly: "This servant... This servant has something urgent to report."

Qin Yanran said: "Speak!"

The maid said, "His Highness...has been removed from his position as deputy commander of the Imperial Guards!"

Qin Yanran's expression changed: "What!"

The maid whispered, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty found out that the person who saved you that day was the eldest prince's eunuch, not him...Your Majesty was furious...so he dismissed the eldest prince from his post...and...and punished the eldest prince by confining him to his house for a month..."

Qin Yanran stood up suddenly: "One month's confinement? What about the banquet?"

A concubine is also a concubine. Although she cannot perform the three books and six ceremonies like the principal wife, a banquet still needs to be held.

The maid bit her lip and dared not say any more.

The eldest prince is under house arrest, so how can there be a banquet?

The only option was to carry the sedan chair into the mansion...

This can also be considered as Emperor Jingxuan's punishment for Qin Yanran.

She knew very well that the person who saved her was not the eldest prince himself, but she colluded with the eldest prince to deceive the emperor. How could Emperor Jingxuan not be angry?

Qin Yanran was so angry that her heart ached and her eyes went dark: "Who did it? How could this be exposed?!"

The maid said fearfully, "Well...it seems to be Master Wei."

Qin Yanran gritted her teeth: "Wei, Ting!"

Wei Ting pushed the prince into the water, so there was no way Emperor Jingxuan would not punish him.

The question is how to punish him? He has not returned to the court to serve, so there is no place to remove him.

Emperor Jingxuan wanted to punish him by not letting him be the teacher of the palace school, but Wei Ting's nonchalant look made Emperor Jingxuan give up the idea.

"Deduct half a year's salary!"

Wei Ting's face darkened.

Coming out of the imperial study, Wei Ting weighed the purse in his hand and curled his lips: "Fortunately, I was prepared."

Did he pull Xiao Duye out of the water in vain?

Shouldn't I get some money for salvaging? "Wei Ting!"

Xiao Duye walked out in a rage. He pushed away the eunuch who was supporting him and came to Wei Ting with a cold face.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Wei Ting put away the money bag, looked at him nonchalantly, and smiled: "Prince, some things are better known to you, why bother to speak them out?"

"You——" Xiao Duye looked around hurriedly.

Wei Ting straightened his wet collar and said, "Don't look at it. Only you and your trusted eunuchs saw it. If it gets out, no one will believe it."

Wei Ting smiled faintly: "Your Highness, I am a person who holds grudges."

After saying that, he walked away in a very arrogant manner.

Xiao Duye was so angry that he began to doubt his life.

How could there be such a madman in the world? Are they really not afraid of death?!

On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao left the palace.

When she opened the curtain, she actually saw the first son of the imperial city whom she had not seen for several days.

"Su Mo!"

"It's my cousin."

Su Mo corrected.

I've lived longer than you.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down next to him.

There was a jar of peeled walnuts on the table.

Su Xiaoxiao held it over, and Little Fatty dug around in it with his fingertips.

Each grain is full and complete in shape.

She grabbed one and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

Su Mo actually didn’t understand what was so delicious about walnuts. Why could she eat them so deliciously?

"I haven't congratulated my uncle on his victory over Qin Jiang yet." Su Mo said.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing. Why did you take so long? Did anything happen?"

Su Mo said: "The heavy rain caused landslides, washed away bridges and official roads, and destroyed several villages. We are fine, but the local villagers are suffering. They just planted seeds and everything was flooded."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Were there heavy casualties?"

Su Mo shook his head: "The casualties are not great, this is probably a blessing in disguise. Grandfather is still providing disaster relief in the local area, so let me go back to Beijing to see your situation first."

"Where is Lao Wu?" Su Xiaoxiao asked again.

Su Mo paused and said, "Escaped."

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Huh?"

Su Mo sighed helplessly: "Old Five is like this, never willing to stay at home properly. Beating him is useless."

The two younger brothers who are the most troublesome in the family are the fourth and the fifth.

The fourth child is too quiet and the fifth child is too noisy. They are not like normal children.

Su Mo added: "In addition, we were delayed there for a few days. In fact, there was another reason. We discovered a sect's hideout, and grandfather planned to seize the opportunity to destroy it."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "White Lotus Sect?"

Now it was Su Mo's turn to be surprised: "You knew?"

Su Xiaoxiao said hurriedly: "I don't know about your actions. I just heard something about the White Lotus Sect a few days ago. The corpses under the attic are the followers of the White Lotus Sect."

Su Mo frowned: "Is this true?"

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed another walnut and said, "This is the information Xiao Chonghua found out, so it should be correct."

Su Mo looked at her with a complicated expression: "You and the Third Prince..."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I have nothing to do with him, Jing Yi told me."

Su Mo: This girl has become familiar with the Weiwu Marquis Mansion——

Su Mo looked towards the palace gate and asked, "The palace school class hasn't ended yet, why did you come out early?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have asked for leave these days, so I don't have to go to class."

Su Mo asked in confusion: "Why do you want to take leave?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Heal the Queen Mother."

Su Mo: Did I really just leave for a few days?

On the way back to Lihua Lane from the palace, Su Xiaoxiao would pass by the First Hall, and she stopped by to pick up some medicinal herbs.

Su Mo went across the street to buy candied haws for the three little kids.

Hu Biyun happened to be buying candied haws for her younger brother.

Seeing Su Mo, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes suddenly became flustered.

She tucked her hair behind her ears, lowered her brows, and gently saluted as an equal.

"Mr. Su."

Su Mo nodded indifferently and didn't speak to her.

"Four strings of candied haws."

"Okay, sir, half a tael of silver in total."

Sugar prices have risen again.

Su Mo was a son of a marquisate who lived a life of luxury, so naturally he didn't care about the price. He paid the silver, took the candied haws and turned to leave.

"etc."

Hu Biyun called him, walked forward with a slightly red face, held up a snow-white handkerchief with both hands, and said softly: "Mr. Su, your handkerchief fell off."

Su Mo didn't move.

The driver ran over and took the handkerchief from Hu Biyun: "Thank you, young lady."

Hu Biyun plucked up her courage and looked at Su Mo shyly.

However, Su Mo never gave her any glance from beginning to end. He walked straight towards Su Xiaoxiao who came out of the first class.

The driver hurried after him.

He held the handkerchief in his hand: "Sir, this..."

Su Mo said expressionlessly: "Throw it away."
