Chapter 146
Fu Yuqing jumped into the water before others could react.
Xia Xue looked over and saw a woman in palace dress struggling on the other side of the lotus pond.
"My queen, my queen!"
"master!!!"
"Someone come quickly, someone come quickly, the queen has fallen into the water!"
Fu Yuqing was swimming very fast and was about to reach the woman.
Xia Xue still remembered the scene of the first time she rescued Fu Yuqing. She didn't expect that in such a short time, Fu Yuqing's swimming skills had improved so much, especially as the weather was getting colder.
Suddenly Fu Yuqing stopped and her body began to sink.
Xia Xue frowned. Could it be that there were too many roots in the lotus pond and they had entangled her? Normally, she shouldn't be in this position.
"Someone come quickly, someone come quickly to save the queen!"
"Please, save the Queen!"
The maidservant on the shore was crying so hard that her lungs were splitting. From this angle, Xia Xue couldn't see clearly which lady the woman who fell into the water was, but when she looked at the maidservant crying on the shore, she thought of the one next to Wei Chongyuan.
Fu Yuqing was sinking deeper and deeper, and her head was about to sink. A look of pain appeared on Fu Yuqing's face.
Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. In the past, seeing Fu Yuqing struggling like this, she would definitely jump in to save her. But now she has a baby in her belly. The water in this season is so deep that even a good person would lose half their life if they go down. If she continues in this situation, the baby will definitely not be saved. She can't be so selfish. However, the eunuchs haven't come yet. Can Fu Yuqing hold on?
A few beads of sweat appeared on Xia Xue's head.
Suddenly, a green figure flew over.
Yes, it flew over here.
Xia Xue thought to herself, "What a great skill."
The next second, the green figure leaned over and lifted up Fu Yuqing who was struggling in the water.
At this time, the eunuchs on the other side also heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing the empress struggling slower and slower, several eunuchs jumped down quickly.
The green figure put Fu Yuqing by the pool and patted her hard on the back several times. Fu Yuqing started coughing violently.
"How dare you go down when you are not good at swimming? Don't you see what season it is?" The green figure spoke with full magnetism.
Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, and only one word popped into her mind, "Handsome! Handsome! Handsome!"
Fu Yuqing pouted and murmured, "It was just an instinctive reaction."
Xia Xue's eyes almost popped out of her head. Is Fu Yuqing being coquettish? ! !
"Don't be so impulsive next time. Always keep yourself safe first!" The man in blue said gently. Although there was a hint of blame in his tone, it was more of deep concern.
Xia Xue raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed that the man in blue was the legendary Prince Bo.
He is truly an outstanding man, no wonder Fu Yuqing was attracted to him.
At this time, many people had gathered around. The empress who fell into the water opposite was indeed Wei Chongyuan. As soon as she was rescued, she heard the servants start shouting "Wei Chongyuan."
Although Xia Xue was far away, seeing Wei Chongyuan's eyes closed and her face paler than paper, she guessed that the situation might not be good. But no matter what, it had nothing to do with her. She was not just Fu Yuqing, who would mind her own business.
With the situation in the Yu Garden today, Fu Yuqing was trapped in the lotus pond for no reason. Maybe someone designed it on purpose. There was no telling what dirty things were under the water. Anyway, it was a mess just now, with so many people jumping in at once. Even if someone got out among them, no one could tell.
Fu Yuqing looked over there and asked softly, "Have the people over there been rescued?"
"You're in such a state already, why do you care about other people?" Prince Bo took off his coat and wrapped Fu Yuqing.
"I'm fine! A-choo!" Fu Yuqing sneezed as soon as she finished speaking.
There was a sound of gasps all around.
"Is this the Prince Bo from Prince Xian's family?" someone in the crowd asked.
“So handsome!”
"Yes, so handsome!"
"Everyone says that Prince Bo is not in good health, so he doesn't go to court to serve as an official. But look at Prince Bo's skills just now, they are so good!"
"Not everyone is worthy of King Xian's family background. You can just take a look at him, unless you want to marry him as a concubine." An unsociable voice interrupted the discussion of several young ladies.
"Tsk, then who do you think this woman who jumped into the water is from? The dinner hasn't even started yet and she's already made herself so miserable!" The lady who spoke in front covered her mouth and sneered.
"You can tell at first glance that she's not a lady from a noble family. If she were, how could she just jump down like that? It's winter now, so it's ok for her to wear something thicker. But if it were summer, wouldn't everyone be able to see everything about her?" another lady agreed.
The ladies who were talking naturally didn't notice the hands of the lady next to them who was clenching her fists.
"Guiqin, go tell the prince that I'll wait for him at the back door of the garden!" Princess Xian narrowed her eyes and looked unhappy.
"Yes!" Guiqin responded quickly and walked towards the crowd.
Princess Hyeon took another look at the two people still hugging each other in the crowd and swung her sleeves fiercely.
Xia Xue here suddenly remembered something, looked around, and saw the owner of the cold gaze just now.
"Oh no!" Xia Xue thought to herself, Prince Bo was being so "intimate" with Fu Yuqing in public. Princess Xian, who always paid attention to etiquette, must have lost the little bit of goodwill she had for Fu Yuqing.
Xia Xue was about to step forward when Li Wan'er, who had been confused and didn't know where to go, ran over and asked, "Brother Bo, why are you here?"
Then he saw Fu Yuqing in Prince Bo's arms.
Li Waner:!!!
I don’t want to place an order ten times as large!
Only then did Fu Yuqing realize that the posture between her and Prince Bo was too ambiguous.
Fu Yuqing took off Prince Bo's coat and hurried to get up.
Prince Bo held her down and wrapped his coat tighter.
"If you don't want to take the bitterest medicine, just be obedient." Prince Bo stood up first and helped Fu Yuqing up.
Fu Yuqing avoided his hand and lowered her head, "Thank you."
Prince Bo approached her and said, "You owe me again."
Fu Yuqing lowered her head and a blush appeared on her face.
Li Waner:!!!
From now on, the Li family will cancel all orders from "Zhilan Pavilion"!!!
At this time, Guiqin had already walked over.
She bowed to Prince Bo and said, "Prince, the princess is looking for you." Then Guiqin bowed to Li Wan'er.
Li Wan'er nodded. This was the head maidservant serving Princess Xian. As someone who often visited the Prince Xian's mansion, she was naturally familiar with her.
Feeling naturally superior, Li Wan'er raised her head and glanced at Fu Yuqing with pride.
Guiqin acted as if she didn't see Fu Yuqing. She bowed to Li Wan'er, turned around and left.
Fu Yuqing frowned but said nothing. As a modern person, she would not bother with her. However, it was really infuriating to see someone curtsying to Li Wan'er and treating her like an air maid.
"Brother Bo," Li Wan'er just opened her mouth, and Prince Bo turned around and looked at Fu Yuqing affectionately, "Don't run around, wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he pressed Fu Yuqing's shoulder.
Li Waner:......
Am I air!!!
