Chapter 209 Falling into the Water



Before Du Jingyi could say anything, Li, who had been in good temper just now, suddenly became angry and spoke.

"Why is Miss Wei so aggressive? After all, it's a human life."

She bit her lower lip tightly, looking innocent again.

"The Minister's wife misunderstood Jialian. That's not what I meant. I..."

Before she could finish her words, Li waved her hand and closed her eyes impatiently.

When the Crown Princess saw this, she frowned and looked at Wei Jialian, feeling quite unhappy.

The Wei family was already somewhat unpresentable in front of them, and now their daughter, who was brought up well, still has this kind of temper. I wonder what kind of jokes will happen at the coming-of-age party in a few days.

So he spoke in a deep voice.

"Miss Wei must be a little drunk. Someone send her to her room to rest."

"yes."

With just one sentence, Wei Jialian's idea of ​​staying to watch the show was shattered. Although she was worried, she dared not disobey the Crown Princess's wishes.

So he stood up and walked out awkwardly, still feeling innocent in his eyes.

After she left, Madam Xing whispered something to Madam Gu.

"It's what she deserves. The Minister's wife is the most honest and straightforward person. It's no wonder that she was sent away by the Crown Princess if she played tricks in front of her."

The Crown Princess was born in the Earl of Weiyuan's Mansion. Before she entered the Eastern Palace, she was a close friend of her sister-in-law. Now she is even her closest sister-in-law, so naturally she has to protect her.

Wei Jialian dared to act rudely in front of them at such a young age. It was obvious that the people in the Wei family were not good at educating their daughters.

But it makes sense. Since the old lady of the Wei family passed away, there is no outstanding daughter-in-law among the Wei family, so naturally they cannot teach their children to be well-mannered.

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Old Madam Gu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Xuenniang escaped the disaster, and immediately wanted to return the peony flower to the Minister's wife, Mrs. Li, but the Crown Princess smiled softly and said.

"This flower is the first time I wear it. Today something happened and I suddenly couldn't see your talent. So I'll take this flower as a betrothal gift and we'll talk about it another day."

Xue Niang was stunned. She never expected that the Crown Princess would say that.

So I could only agree quickly despite feeling guilty.

"As you command."

Afterwards, she and Gu Xiaolang retreated to the side of Old Madam Gu, looking at the people who were still salvaging in the river with sad expressions.

I was worried about the people who fell into the water, and also worried about how I would "repay my debt" in the future.

The lights shone slowly on everyone's faces, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Because someone fell into the water, those who were chatting, drunk, and talking on the various pleasure boats gathered on the deck, looking anxiously and curiously at the man and woman who were struggling in the water.

The man was dressed in bright yellow clothes and was obviously a member of the royal family.

The woman who was still struggling next to her was wearing a moon-white dress.

Just look at her hair accessories today, which can emit a bright and warm luster in the dark night, and you will know that they are not vulgar.

Therefore, a woman who is qualified to wear such hair accessories cannot be an ordinary person.

"Seventh Prince..."

"Hurry up and save him! Hurry up and rescue the Seventh Prince!"

The one who fell into the water turned out to be the Seventh Prince!

After hearing this shout, the Fourth Prince pushed through the crowd and looked over.

The two brothers boarded the pleasure boat together, and they were singing and drinking just now. How come one of them got off in the blink of an eye?

So, he immediately scolded the people around him.

"If you fail to save the Seventh Prince, I will make you pay with your lives!"

After hearing this, more people jumped into the water. Soon, they gathered in the canal in the dark night like dumplings.

Fortunately, because there were so many people, the two were quickly rescued.

The river water was freezing cold in winter. As soon as the two got on the boat, they were surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids. Some wiped the water off their bodies, some covered their hands.

Don't panic...

The Seventh Prince is a man after all, so even though he is very cold, he still has to maintain his decency in front of everyone.

But the woman opposite her was pale and her teeth couldn't help trembling.

Her hair and clothes were in disarray, and the discussions of people around her made her feel so ashamed that she fainted out of anxiety.

"Miss, wake up, Miss!"

Upon seeing this, the Seventh Prince gave the order with a gloomy face.

"Hurry up and send Miss Zhao to rest. Send the imperial physician to take a look immediately."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yes, Your Highness."

After a series of instructions were given, the pleasure boat immediately became lively.

The Crown Princess looked indifferently at the embarrassed Seventh Prince in front of her, and in her heart she was so happy about this handle sent by God.

Miss Zhao? If she remembered correctly, this Miss Zhao was a beautiful girl who was to be sent to the palace in the spring. How could she and the Seventh Prince both fall into the water?

Everyone present had some doubts in their hearts.

But due to the Seventh Prince's reputation, no one dared to question it.

The Seventh Prince knew that what he said was not right, so he spoke to the Crown Princess immediately.

"Don't blame me, sister-in-law. I accidentally bumped into Miss Zhao, and she slipped and fell into the water. I followed her into the water to save her. We are innocent, and nothing happened."

It might have been better if he hadn't spoken.

This statement was full of loopholes.

This pleasure boat was full of women. Why was he, a royal man, not talking with the prince in the front, but running to another pleasure boat? In the past, he was also an elegant and handsome man, with a royal temperament, as bright as the moon and the breeze.

Looking back at his behavior now, it seems like he is a lecher. Isn't this a joke?

The Crown Princess doesn't even need to add fuel to the flames, today's events will definitely become a hot topic.

So, she was happy to be a good person and help cover it up.

"Seventh brother, go and have a cup of ginger tea. It's cold, and it will hurt your body. As for Miss Zhao, I will take care of her, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince's pale face showed a hint of embarrassment.

But he had done it himself, so he couldn't say much. He could only shut up and let the palace servants take him away.

Not long after he left, the prince and others came over from the connection of the pleasure boats, looking anxious, and asked.

"Where's the seventh brother? How is he?"

He was only superficially a brother to the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince, so it was inevitable that he could hear some happiness in his words.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince who was following behind was naturally dissatisfied, but the most important thing at the moment was the situation of his Seventh Brother, so he did not care too much.

When the Crown Princess saw that they had come in a group, she pretended to protect the Seventh Prince and spoke in a veiled manner.

"It's nothing serious. They have all been fished out. However, I was worried that they had choked on the water, so I asked the imperial physician to treat them."

Although Miss Zhao was not mentioned in the conversation, who among them could not understand that there were two of them.
