"Princess, this is an invitation to the Frosty Autumn Banquet. The chrysanthemums in the Marquis of Changping's residence have bloomed, and everyone is invited to admire them."
Just as Mo Qian was getting bored, Jin Zhu walked in with a note in her hand.
A slight smile remained on his face.
"It just so happens that the princess has been looking rather dull these past few days. It would be good for her to visit the Marquis of Changping's residence to relax."
“Yes, Princess, you haven’t left the courtyard for several days. Go outside for a stroll and relax,” Hongxiu added from the side.
"Hmm, I could go and join in the fun." Mo Qian said with interest after looking at the invitation Jin Zhu handed her.
After all, the more formal the banquet, the more likely accidents are to occur; you might as well go and watch a play.
Furthermore, the female lead, Han Yuanyuan, will likely be there as well, along with the original owner's entire group of brothers, who will probably also be present.
Now that everyone was gathered and the stage was set up, she naturally wanted to go and see it.
Before Mo Qian entered the original owner's body, the original owner had already interacted with the female lead Han Yuanyuan and had offended her.
Since that's the case, Mo Qian doesn't mind. If the female lead, Han Yuanyuan, doesn't know what's good for her, she'll offend her again when the opportunity arises.
As for the original owner's brothers who sided with the female lead, Mo Qian didn't mind teaching them a lesson.
Thinking of the original owner's brothers, Mo Qian naturally thought of the third prince, the heir to the throne in the previous life.
This was certainly one of the reasons why Mo Qian thought of the Third Prince, but it wasn't the most important one.
Mo Qian suddenly discovered from the original owner's memories that the Third Prince's mother was from the Western Regions!
The Sleeping Beauty that the original owner's mother had was from the Western Regions!
Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Mo Qian's eyes.
Three days later
frosty autumn feast,
After arriving at the Marquis of Changping's residence, Mo Qian, along with Jinzhu and Hongxiu, found a pavilion to sit in.
The stone table was also laden with pastries and fruits, along with a pot of tea.
Mo Qian leisurely admired the autumn chrysanthemums not far away.
Just then, a scream rang out.
Mo Qian turned her head to look.
It turns out someone had fallen into the water.
Several young ladies stood by a lake, each of them pale and terrified.
Two noble ladies are struggling in the lake.
As the exclamations rang out, more and more people gathered to watch.
Seeing this, Mo Qian, along with Jin Zhu and Hong Xiu, also went over.
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
A must-see act at banquets: falling into the water!
"Help! Someone, come quick, save them!"
"Someone has fallen into the water!"
"Please save my young lady!"
...
Mo Qian's voice came before she even got close.
When Mo Qian reached the lakeside, she saw that the original owner's many brothers had also arrived there, each with an anxious expression, nervously watching the lake.
There were people in a hurry, preparing to jump into the water to rescue the person.
Fortunately, an old woman from the Changping Marquis's residence who knew how to swim quickly came to the lakeside and entered the water, thus stopping them from going into the water.
Mo Qian looked into the lake and, sure enough, saw the figure of the female lead, Han Yuanyuan, reflected in it.
It's estimated that only Han Yuanyuan could have stirred up so many of the original owner's brothers.
After entering the water, the women quickly swam to the two young ladies, took off their own clothes and draped them over them before bringing them ashore.
"Miss, how are you?" Han Yuanyuan's maid quickly came to her side and asked with concern.
"Cough cough, I'm fine," Han Yuanyuan replied, tightening her clothes around her neck.
However, her face was still somewhat pale.
On the other side, the young lady who had fallen into the water with Han Yuanyuan was trembling all over.
"Quickly, someone take these two distinguished guests to wash up and invite a doctor to come and examine them," Lady Hou, the head of the Changping Marquis's residence, hurriedly instructed her servants.
As soon as she finished speaking, servants led the two away, and before they were taken away, they had already draped cloaks over the two young ladies.
Afterwards, Lady Hou greeted the other guests, and the scene became lively again.
As for the original owner's brothers, they all relaxed after seeing that Han Yuanyuan was safely out of danger.
From the conversations of the remaining young ladies, Mo Qian learned what had happened.
It turned out that the young ladies were enjoying the scenery and chatting by the lake when something happened and the scene became chaotic.
Han Yuanyuan, whether she tripped or for some other reason, fell into the lake.
In the moment of crisis, she grabbed the person closest to her, and in the end, the two of them fell into the lake.
Mo Qian gleaned a general idea from these snippets of information, but with the female lead involved, it couldn't be a simple accident.
Maybe someone dislikes Han Yuanyuan and wants to teach her a lesson.
Mo Qian thought to herself.
However, no matter the reason, it was quite pleasant to see Han Yuanyuan suffer setbacks and frustrations.
After all, the original owner's fate in the previous life was partly due to the female lead, Han Yuanyuan.
On the other side, the female lead, Han Yuanyuan, was led by a servant of the Marquis's mansion to a side room.
"Miss, hot water and services have been prepared inside," a maid from the Marquis's residence said to Han Yuanyuan as she opened the door.
"Okay, I understand."
Han Yuanyuan said with a pale face, and then went into the room.
"You may leave now," Han Yuanyuan said, dismissing the maid from the Marquis's residence.
As for her own maid, Xiao Ju.
"Xiao Ju, you go down too and stand guard outside the door."
"Miss, let me help you with your bath." Xiao Ju, standing to the side, looked worried after hearing Han Yuanyuan's words.
"No need, just stay outside and guard the door, don't let anyone in," Han Yuanyuan waved to Xiaoju.
His face held a hint of seriousness.
"Yes, Miss." Seeing her mistress's determination, Xiaoju stopped talking, quickly left the room, and closed the door behind her.
At this moment, Han Yuanyuan, who was in the room, looked pale and her expression was rather unpleasant.
When she fell into the water, she clearly felt someone push her from behind!
However, because there were many people and things were chaotic at the time, it was impossible to tell who had harmed her!
Thinking of this, Han Yuanyuan's face turned even more unpleasant.
Then, feeling the coldness in her body, Han Yuanyuan suppressed her anger and quickly walked into the inner room to the bathtub.
Afterwards, she removed her wet clothes and stepped into the bathtub.
A wave of warmth washed over me.
My skin, which was initially a little cool, became warm.
While Han Yuanyuan was taking a bath, she suddenly heard some noises in the room.
Then a man appeared in the house.
When Han Yuanyuan suddenly saw someone appear in the room, her face showed a hint of panic.
However, I relaxed only after recognizing the person.
It is the third prince.
"Yuanyuan, you...you're taking a bath!"
"I was worried and came to check on you, but I didn't expect you to be taking a bath. I'm sorry."
When the Third Prince saw Han Yuanyuan soaking alone in the water, he quickly turned around and said something.
There was still some redness around the ears.
