"That day, I deliberately let her play the piano first. The sound will naturally spread, and people will gather on the shore to watch. Then we can drink tea and kill time, letting those who need to leave go. And those who are still curious about playing the piano may row over and choose to approach and make friends!"
"When the boat got closer, I pretended to have a stomachache and accidentally pushed her into the water... With her in the water, even if the prince took me away, someone would still be able to save her in time!"
"Although everything was deliberately arranged, it also happened so naturally and innocently!"
Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan in shock. Ni Yueshan was too...
"What if someone saw you pushing someone?"
"It's best to give an ambiguous answer! First, it will make others think that I am indeed jealous, so anyone who wants to enter the palace must go through my torture. Second, the princess will speak for me, so you can rest assured that neither the emperor nor the queen can blame me!"
Duan Gouqiong was still a little suspicious. "What about you? You chose this princess to go boating on the lake when you didn't invite so many other women in the capital. What else do you have in mind? Father and Mother will surely be dissatisfied with you because of this?"
Ni Yueshan's lips curled up slightly. "Before inviting the princess to the lake, I had already asked Qingdie to visit. There were many daughters of wealthy families at the palace banquet that day. I sent invitations to everyone, but the first person to accept the invitation was the princess! And they have been dissatisfied with me for a long time. Wouldn't the princess be a witness for me? What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Use rumors to intimidate those who want to enter the Prince's Mansion, and then use the princess to intercede for me to prove my innocence. If the Emperor and Empress can't find any fault, how will they deal with me?"
Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong have completely understood everything Ni Yueshan has done. They have to say that Ni Yueshan's thoughts are too thorough and there is nothing wrong with them.
The two of them fell silent, and then Jing Yuchen came over: "So you, without even warning me in advance, acted on your own?"
Ni Yueshan turned to look at Jing Yuchen when he heard the voice and sighed, "I didn't tell you because I wanted to test you!"
Jing Yuchen walked over slowly with an interested expression, then sat down. "How is the test? What is the test? How come this prince doesn't know?"
"If you had set your eyes on that princess, you would have been staring at her intently. When she fell into the water, I cried out in pain. If you wanted to win her over, you would have known who was more anxious and would have jumped in first to save her before bringing me ashore!"
"But you will chill my heart... and if you embrace the princess, she will become the only choice for your concubine..."
Jing Yuchen stared at Ni Yueshan the entire time, and finally frowned and said, "How can you be so cruel? I wasn't afraid of the prince's blame, so I just left the princess behind and carried you ashore! But you plotted against me!"
"Tsk... The progress of things has allowed me to see you clearly, but that doesn't mean I'm really plotting against you? So in your heart, I'm really that vicious. You really doubt me, and I'm plotting against you too. I..."
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan began to wipe her tears, feeling sad about being misunderstood.
Jing Yuchen quickly said: "I, I was just joking, I wasn't serious!"
Shao Lecheng: “…”
Duan Gouqiong: “…”
Do you two have to show off like this?
Seeing Jing Yuchen patting her back distressedly to comfort her, Ni Yueshan suddenly laughed out loud and rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen: "I was also pretending to cry..."
Jing Yuchen: “…”
Qingdie, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer. She coughed twice and asked, "That Crown Princess is out there now. Many people are saying that the man has been in contact with the Princess, and that the Princess is no longer innocent. If the Princess wants to be famous, she has to marry this man. What do you think..."
"In order to avoid marrying the Crown Prince, the Princess chose to marry a stranger. Isn't this a huge loss?"
Ni Yueshan shook her head and replied, "That man followed me to the capital from outside the city. How could the two of them be...a mismatched match?"
Qingdie was surprised, and so were the other three people present.
"Qingdie and I went to the post station to look for this princess, but Qingdie avoided us, so I don't know. Actually, the princess isn't interested in the prince at all. I'm still wondering... So many people want to marry into the prince's mansion, but she looks so indifferent, it seems like she's completely uninterested. I think the prince's charm has diminished!"
"Finally, she confessed that there was a man from a poor family...who had long harbored feelings for her during a chance encounter. It was just a shame that the social gap between them was too great! Plus, the prince wanted this princess to marry the crown prince, so he took advantage of their situation!"
Ni Yueshan's explanation completely eliminated any doubts.
Duan Gouqiong was a little surprised and said, "If it's that simple, then from now on, all women from different families, whose parents don't approve of their marriages, can just jump into the lake and men can rescue them. Then, can't they be together?"
Duan Gouqiong's brows were tightly furrowed, and he was obviously troubled.
Ni Yueshan chuckled softly, "You're thinking too much. Not all parents would choose to let them be together because of this incident. There are still many who would suppress the news, execute the man, and marry their daughter off to a lower status!"
"I just take care of myself, and she also successfully made this man one of the candidates that the prince is considering as a son-in-law, which is not bad!"
Afterwards, Duan Gouqiong and Shao Lecheng left. Jing Yuchen took out the bracelet next to Yu Fei's body beside Ni Yueshan's bed.
