Su Wanti felt that this imperial concubine was really impatient.
This was only the second day of her sleeping with the emperor, and she couldn't help it.
Su Wanti will not suffer the pain of the scorching sun in vain.
She changed her mind and decided to use this opportunity to stimulate Rong Zhou's desire to protect him.
At this moment, Chi Liangdi toasted the imperial concubine and said with a smile:
"Before I even entered the palace, I had heard that the Imperial Concubine was incredibly beautiful and unparalleled in her elegance. Once I saw her, I realized the rumors were true. There really is someone in the world as beautiful as the Imperial Concubine. She's truly like a goddess descended to earth."
"Your Highness is a very kind and gentle person. She treats me with the same attentiveness and care as if I were her own sister. I am deeply grateful for this."
After saying this, she stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said:
"I offer this flower to the Buddha, and I use the fine wine bestowed upon me by the Imperial Concubine to toast her. I wish her good health and auspiciousness."
The other newlyweds stood up, raised their glasses, and said in unison, "May the Imperial Concubine be in good health and blessed with good fortune."
Su Wanti and Wen Cairen, who were placed at the edge and sweating and dizzy, had no choice but to stand up with everyone else and toast to the imperial concubine.
Wencairen struggled to stand up, swayed a few times, and finally stood still.
After she stood up, she saw that Su Wanti had not yet stood up, so she reached out her hand and prepared to help her.
Su Wanti held the wine glass in one hand and reached for Wen Cairen's hand with the other, and stood up shakily. At this time, a summer breeze blew, bringing a stuffy heat in her face. Su Wanti was hit by the hot wind, and her thin body was shaking.
Just when Wencairen thought Su Wanti had stood still and was about to withdraw his hand, he saw Su Wanti stroking her chest, frowning, and looking very uncomfortable.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Wencairen's eyes were full of worry.
"I... I'm fine." Su Wanti squinted her eyes, patted her chest and gasped. Suddenly, she couldn't help vomiting.
You can't spit on this table!
Su Wanti quickly turned around, bent down, leaned over the railing, and kept dry-retching into the lake.
The noise she made was quite loud, so the imperial concubine and the others naturally heard it.
The imperial concubine looked at Su Wanti, her brows full of displeasure.
"Su Liangyuan, what's wrong with you? Are you dissatisfied with the food I asked someone to prepare?"
Before she finished her words, there was a loud "plop" and Su Wanti lost her balance and fell into the Imperial Lake.
"Sister Su!" The talented person closest to Su Wanti was so scared that she almost cried. She hurried to pull people away, but it was too late.
The soft and thin fabric slipped through her fingertips, and when she came to her senses, she had fallen into the water.
The talented woman who had been drowsy just now suddenly woke up and leaned over the railing and started crying.
"Sister Su fell into the water! Help! Help!"
The imperial concubine stood up with a bang, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.
She just wanted to torture Su Liangyuan a little, and didn't want her life!
She was the one who hosted today's banquet. If someone died at her banquet, and the one who died was a new concubine, she would definitely be reprimanded by the emperor. Maybe...
Maybe the emperor will take away her authority to assist in managing the harem!
"What are you good for? You can't even keep an eye on one person!" The imperial concubine was anxious and angry, gritting her teeth and said fiercely:
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get in the water and save them!"
The pavilions were filled with young palace maids, so how could they swim? Even if there were one or two who could swim, they weren't proficient, just able to float and swim a few times. If they were asked to save someone, they would be absolutely incapable of doing so.
Everyone in the pavilion, from concubines to palace servants, was in a panic. The timid concubines had already collapsed on their seats with weak legs.
The imperial concubine's heart was pounding wildly. Seeing that no palace maids moved, she shouted outside, "Quickly call a few guards over and ask them to go into the water and save people!"
After hearing her words, the palace maid hurried out.
Here, the splashes were getting smaller and smaller. Wen Cairen saw that Su Wanti could no longer struggle, and slowly sank into the water.
She was so sad that she wanted to jump down, but fortunately she was stopped by the palace maid beside her.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was terrifying, and everyone's faces were filled with panic.
Chi Liangdi, hidden behind this panic, smiled quietly.
Among the six newcomers, Su Wanti is the most beautiful and has a high position.
If she could use the Imperial Concubine to get rid of Su Wanti today, she would lose a strong competitor. Moreover, among the newcomers, her position is the highest.
Just when Su Wanti was about to be completely submerged by the lake, the surface of the lake suddenly splashed, and a nimble figure jumped out of the water and lifted Su Wanti up.
On the pavilion, the palace maid guarding the railing hurriedly reached out to pull Su Wanti.
At this time, the palace maid also came over with the guards who knew how to swim.
Everyone worked together to pull Su Wanti up, along with a young palace maid.
Just now, at the critical moment, it was this little palace maid who jumped into the water and lifted Su Wanti up.
The young palace maid was proficient in water. After she came up, she first checked Su Wanti's condition. Seeing that she was unconscious, she pressed her chest. She stopped only after Su Wanti spit out the lake water.
The imperial physician also arrived and hurriedly examined Su Wanti. Seeing that her life was not in danger, he quickly asked the palace servants to send Su Wanti back to Yufu Palace.
This incident was a major event that suddenly occurred in the palace, and naturally alarmed the emperor and empress.
Just when Su Wanti woke up in a daze, she opened her eyes and saw Rong Zhou sitting beside the bed with a worried look on his face.
"Your Majesty..." Su Wanti's voice was hoarse and weak, as if the lake water had taken away half of her life.
