Chapter 1277: Robbed of Loneliness
Su Laowu felt a little annoyed that he was a step late and was overtaken by someone else.
Although this other person is, for now, his definite brother-in-law.
How can a brother-in-law be closer than a sister?
When Su Laowu saw the mess of people on the shore, he still felt that something was wrong.
My sister is of this age, neither too old nor too young, but we can't afford to be careless.
If you are not careful, your reputation will be damaged.
"Give me the cloak, Third Prince, please step aside." Su Laowu said.
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
He frowned slightly, but didn't feel the need to avoid it.
When Su Laowu saw Xuanyuan Jin like this, he felt a little helpless.
"There are so many people here, and it might damage Tang Bao's reputation. The Third Prince should at least turn around."
Su Laowu knew in his heart that it was impossible to let Xuanyuan Jin leave, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
"Why?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
Su Laowu: “…”
Su Laowu had no choice but to patiently explain again.
"There are differences between men and women. After all, you are not Tang Bao's biological brother."
After saying this, I suddenly felt very comfortable and proud.
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
I feel uncomfortable, but I can't tell where I feel uncomfortable.
I opened my mouth, but didn't know how to refute.
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
The Empress glanced at her son, a smile flashing in her eyes as she said, "Mr. Su is absolutely right. Jin'er, please step aside."
After saying that, he looked at Su Laowu and continued, "Although you are Fuya's brother, but at Fuya's age, you, as her brother, should be more cautious. Give the cloak to the maid."
Su Laowu: “…”
His expression froze.
"Fifth Young Master, please give it to me." Shi Liu suppressed her laughter and took the cloak from Su Laowu.
It turns out that the Third Prince and the Fifth Young Master were fighting for nothing!
Su Laowu and Xuanyuan Jin looked at each other, their expressions a little dull.
Then, they both turned around at the same time.
The Queen Mother then ordered the palace maids she brought with her to stand in a row, turn around, and block the view of other people on the shore.
As soon as Tang Bao's body left the water, Shi Liu wrapped her tightly in a cloak.
"Miss, be careful!"
Shi Liu helped Tang Bao walk up the stairs, but she didn't notice that there was something hooked on the hem of Tang Bao's skirt.
At this time, Emperor Tianxi, Prince Ning and others also rushed over.
However, before the group got close, their ears were buzzing due to the noisy and chaotic sounds.
"You little bitch! I'm asking you to be a hero!" The second wife of the Bai family screamed in frustration, her voice so loud that it pierced the sky. "Other people drowning has nothing to do with you. He's dead, why are you jumping in?! You... you... what can I do? You want to piss me off to death..."
The second wife of the Bai family shouted while twisting Bai Shuqing's arm.
Bai Shuqing was wearing a wide cloak, with his head lowered so that his expression could not be seen, but he did not dodge.
But there were drops of water falling to the ground continuously.
I don’t know if it’s lake water or tears.
“Cough cough cough…”
Prince Xiao fell to the side in a mess and was supported by Hasu. He coughed and spit out water.
"Oh my God! Fish!" someone screamed.
Sure enough, a small fish came out of Prince Xiao's mouth.
The little fish was not dead yet and was jumping around on the ground.
Prince Xiao: "..."
My eyes went dark, and then—
"Cough cough cough...burp uh uh?"
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Hasu was startled.
Prince Xiao was seen pinching his neck with his hands, his head pulled upwards in pain, and his neck stretched straight.
The women present were very familiar with this posture!
This is what Xuanyuan Min looked like when a fish bone got stuck in his throat while eating!
"Could it be that it was stuck by a fish?" someone speculated.
"It seems that..."
"It could also be shrimp..." someone said.
"It could also be a turtle!" Princess Linghua said gritting her teeth.
She was no longer worried about Tang Bao, and all her anger was directed at Prince Xiao.
She didn't know what Prince Xiao and Xuanyuan Min were planning, but she knew that Bai Shuqing had rescued Prince Xiao from the lake in front of so many people, and that was a serious matter.
When Hasu saw his master's red face and thick neck, looking like he was out of breath, and heard people talking, he was so scared that he slapped Prince Xiao on the back.
"...Ugh!" Prince Xiao opened his mouth and spat out something.
—A toad that is not yet dead.
The toad fell to the ground belly up and kicked its legs.
When some female relatives saw it, they couldn't help but almost vomited.
"vomit!"
"vomit!"
They all turned back and retched a few times.
This is so disgusting!
Princess Linghua's face showed a look of surprise, and she exclaimed, "Oh my God, it turns out that this prince of Northern Qi is really a toad!"
Prince Xiao: "..."
When I saw the toad kicking its legs on the ground, for the first time in my life I felt like finding a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Birds of a feather flock together," the General's Second Lady sneered, "Maybe Prince Xiao is a toad himself, so he has a toad in his belly."
"Oh, so it seems that this toad was originally grown in the prince's belly." Someone said gloatingly.
Sisters Yang Die and Yang Jie, as well as several girls nearby, covered their mouths and laughed secretly when they heard this.
If it weren't for the girls' status, they would have definitely spoken harshly to King Xiao.
Princess Linghua didn't care about that.
"Hmph! You still want to marry Su Tang. You're really a toad wanting to eat swan meat!" Princess Linghua curled her lips and said with disdain.
After saying that, he looked at Bai Shuqing with a look of disappointment on his face!
I really want to curse Bai Shuqing.
Not to mention anything else, such a good opportunity was wasted!
Prince Xiao jumped into the water on his own. If he drowned, no one would be blamed and everyone would be happy.
Now, not only did no one drown, but the situation got out of control and he lost his reputation for nothing!
Princess Linghua didn't feel comfortable saying anything more because the second wife of the Bai family was present.
But in my heart, I was thinking that I must be nice to Bai Shuqing afterwards and scold him.
At the very least, scold Bai Shuqing and tell him to never do such stupid things again!
Princess Linghua was just thinking about it when Bai Shuqing suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Tianxi who was walking over.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to grant us this marriage!" Bai Shuqing's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with tears. "Your Majesty, I have lost my reputation in order to save Prince Xiao of Northern Qi. I beg Your Majesty to grant me this marriage and grant me this marriage."
Bai Shuqing understood that after what happened today, if she did not marry King Xiao, she would have to live a life of seclusion and idleness for the rest of her life.
Her grandmother and aunt would certainly not allow her to continue living at home and bring shame to the Bai family.
If she goes back today, she might be sent to a nunnery outside the city tomorrow.
"Are you crazy?!" As soon as Bai Shuqing finished speaking, before Emperor Tianxi could speak, the second wife of the Bai family screamed in disbelief.
Moreover, he reached out and beat Bai Shuqing hard.
