Chapter 319 I Will Not Be Soft
"This..." Cui was stunned. How could Zixuan be so careless? On such a festive day, why was she walking so inattentively?
"Madam, the princess sprained her ankle suddenly, and I didn't have time to hold her. It's all my fault." Bi Tao said as she quickly knelt on the ground.
Cui looked at her and said coldly, "I have no right to decide how to punish you. Let's wait until Zixuan comes."
"Princess Jin, you were by the lake, why didn't you rescue them?" Mei Lixin asked deliberately. Who asked Jiang Nanjiao to stand on Zhan Youhuai's side?
She must have been the one who gave that idiot the idea.
He actually no longer talks back to the prince, and the relationship between father and son is getting better and better. Even though she sometimes secretly instigates them, Zhan Youhuai never gets angry.
Since he stopped making a fuss, the prince naturally stopped speaking ill of her and instead asked her to speak less.
She was filled with anger and reluctance.
Originally, she had coaxed the prince well, but his body could not hold on for much longer. She wanted to take the opportunity to make him change his mind and hand over the palace to Xiaozhuo.
Now they are a loving father and a filial son, so there is no chance for her son to take care of her.
Nan Jiao looked at her and said, "Aunt Mei, I want to save her, but I am not strong enough. I can't swim, are you going to let me die?"
When Mei Lixin heard the word "aunt", she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The ladies attending the banquet tonight are all the ministers' legal wives, and she actually called them aunt in public. How could she save her face?
"I'm just curious, King Jin doesn't know how to use water?" Mei Lixin didn't believe that Zhan Beiheng didn't know how to use water. After all, he was the God of War of Qin.
"I can't. Do you want me to go down and die?" Zhan Beiheng said coldly with a gloomy face. Anyway, no one has ever seen him swim.
Mei Lixin's face turned pale. "That's not what I meant. I thought you were good at martial arts and knew how to swim."
Nan Jiao smiled and said, "Even if my husband knows how to swim, he shouldn't go to save her. One is a married man and the other is a married woman.
When everyone sees this, I wonder what they will say about it, don’t you think? "
Everyone: “…”
Cui was not happy after hearing this and frowned, "This is a matter of life and death. If we don't get there in time, she will die."
"The palace has patrol guards, and I can find you quickly. Why would my prince need to help? I went to the banquet to find you because I was afraid of affecting my reputation."
Nan Jiao said meaningfully.
Cui: “…”
Zhan Beiheng held Nan Jiao's hand and said, "Let's go back."
Nan Jiao smiled brightly, "Okay."
The two of them walked away hand in hand, leaving behind a crowd of people eating melons, and gradually everyone dispersed.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng just returned to the banquet.
Cui and others also returned to their positions.
"Madam Cheng'en Hou, how is Princess Yu?" The Queen asked with concern, frowning. She was shocked to hear that she had fallen into the water.
Why did he fall into the water out of nowhere?
"Prince Yu took her to change clothes, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Princess Jin said she accidentally fell into the lake while walking." Cui stood up and said respectfully.
"Princess Jin is by the lake? Why would Princess Yu go there for no reason?" The Queen's face was full of confusion.
"I am not quite sure about this either," said Cui.
Emperor Jingming looked at Nan Jiao, "What happened just now?"
Nan Jiao saw that everyone was staring at her, so she stood up and answered, "Father, Bei Heng just felt a little uncomfortable, so I asked him to go to the garden to get some fresh air."
"I went to look for him afterwards and saw Princess Yu talking to him from a distance. Then Princess Yu left and suddenly fell into the lake."
"We also wanted to save her, but we couldn't swim, so we asked Princess Yu's maid to call for help. That's what happened."
Everyone sighed after hearing this.
Why was Princess Yu talking with Prince Jin together with her maid in the garden at night, by the lake?
Zhan Youhuai's eyes flashed, and he said nonchalantly, "It hasn't rained recently, and the ground is not slippery. How could Princess Yu suddenly fall into the lake?"
Prince Kang listened to what he said, glared at him, and signaled him with his eyes to talk less.
Zhan Youhuai curled his lips.
According to his guess, Princess Yu fell into the lake on purpose, wanting Zhan Beiheng to jump in to save her.
"Prince You, it was dark by the lake at night. Princess Yu might not have seen the road clearly, so she sprained her ankle and fell." The Queen looked at him and said, feeling a little angry.
What rhythm is he deliberately setting?
“I thought Princess Yu fell into the water on purpose. It seems that Princess Yu should be more careful in the future. After all, Princess Jin didn’t sprain her ankle because of the dark road.” Zhan Youhuai said with a smile.
He is not afraid of offending people.
It's not okay to bully Nan Jiao.
"Zhan Youhuai, do you know that what you said will have a bad impact on Princess Yu?" Zhan Qingheng said. Originally, his mother wanted to take over Prince Kang's mansion.
Prince Kang agreed to let Zhan Youhuai marry his second cousin, but canceled the plan because Zhan Youhuai refused to do so.
It seems that he has chosen to side with Zhan Beiheng.
"I know it's not good to judge others by one's own standards, but what happened tonight is too strange. Why would Princess Yu go to see Prince Jin for no reason?"
"If Princess Jin hadn't been there, something hard to explain might have happened." Zhan Youhuai said with a naughty smile.
Prince Kang's face darkened, he reached out and hit him, angrily said: "Shut up, the food on the table can't stop you from talking."
Zhan You looked at him with a smile, "Father, don't be angry. If you get hurt, I will be worried about you."
Prince Kang glared at him unhappily.
If you say less, your father won’t be angry anymore!
Emperor Jingming saw that no one was talking, so he looked at Zhan Beiheng and said, "Third brother, are you feeling unwell?"
"Your Majesty, I drank some wine and felt unwell, so I went out for some fresh air. Princess Yu came over suddenly, and I only said a few words to her." Zhan Beiheng said with a frank face.
"Okay, let's end this matter here." Emperor Jingming said in a deep voice, obviously unwilling to say anything more on this matter.
Because he spoke, the imperial banquet continued.
Soon Zhan Yifan brought Wei Zixuan over.
The queen was relieved to see that she looked fine. She looked at Emperor Jingming and said, "Your Majesty, you can talk to the ministers. I will take the women to my palace to sit for a while."
"Yes." Emperor Jingming nodded. This step would be included in the imperial banquet every New Year's Eve.
Qin Fu, who was standing nearby, looked at the seats and said loudly, "Ladies and ladies, please move to the Empress's Yongfu Palace to have tea and chat."
Nan Jiao looked at Zhan Beiheng and asked, "Does the imperial banquet have this every year?"
"Well, you don't have to go if you don't want to." Zhan Beiheng held her hand tightly, with a sharp chill in his eyes.
"Go, why not." Nan Jiao's red lips curled up into a bloodthirsty arc. She would counter the Queen's moves and see what tricks she wanted to play.
Zhan Beiheng said solemnly, "Be careful. If someone makes things difficult for you, just fight back. I'll be there if anything goes wrong."
Nan Jiao smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not be lenient!"
gradually.
A group of female relatives followed the queen and left Lu Garden.
Nan Jiao and Xue Miaoyin walked at the back.
