Before she could even speak, Xia Hua directly refused, "Yan Zhen, go and bring the person up."
“Yes, Grandma!” Yan Zhen nodded in agreement, then leaped up, his toes touching the lake surface. He then grabbed the woman’s clothes from her shoulder, turned around, and lightly stepped back onto the boat.
As he landed on the lake, Ruohua covered Ye Weier with her clothes and then led her to the room.
Watching Ye Weier go inside, then looking at Xie Shiyi with an angry expression in the distance, and Song Qingyou with a regretful look, An Shuyi smiled happily. Such a lively scene would be so boring if she didn't join in.
Of course, she didn't save Ye Weier out of kindness; she just wanted to join in their fun. Now her sister-in-law's daughter, Yu Rou, is ten years old. In another four years, this world will unfold as described in the novel.
But she was unwilling, because at that time, Song Qingyou would become the empress, and next year would be the day the emperor died, and the crown prince would become the emperor, and Song Qingyou would become the empress.
Although the female lead is somewhat pitiful and I feel particularly sorry for her, there's nothing I can do. They're on opposite sides, and everyone looks out for themselves.
While Ye Weier went to change her clothes, another boat rowed by. Seeing the maid's anxious look, An Shuyi told her to wait, saying that their young lady would be there soon.
The maid thanked her repeatedly, especially when she saw that the one who had saved her mistress was a child. She was even happier because this meant that no one would slander her mistress.
Not long after, Ruohua came out of the cabin, followed by Ye Weier. As soon as she came out, she hurriedly bowed and thanked them, saying, "Thank you, Madam, and this young master, for saving us. Please tell me your address so I can come to thank you again later."
An Shuyi said, "Now that you are alright, Miss, hurry back and see a doctor. This water is too cold; don't fall ill. We saved you because we couldn't bear to, so please don't worry about it. Go back now."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ye Weier didn't ask any more questions. She just waited until she got back, sent someone to inquire, and then sent a generous gift.
"Thank you, Madam and Young Master. I'll take my leave now." After saying this, she was helped onto the boat by her maid and then boarded the boat to leave.
After watching her leave, An Shuyi and the others continued to watch the girls from the brothel dance. Although Ye Weier had left, it didn't mean there was no more excitement to watch, since Song Qingyou and Xie Shiyi were still there.
Sure enough, not long after, Xie Shiyi slapped the girl next to her in the face. The sound was so loud that they could all hear it. Song Qingyou, however, covered her mouth with one hand and looked surprised when the girl was slapped.
Upon seeing this scene, An Shuyi began to look around. Unexpectedly, she saw the Crown Prince on a boat, and she had just witnessed the scene. Besides the Crown Prince, she was surprised to find Xiao Zili there as well.
In ten years, this young man has changed the most. He has not only made countless contributions, earning praise from the ministers in the court, but also received high praise from the common people.
Meanwhile, he was secretly recruiting soldiers and training guards, waiting for the right opportunity to storm the palace. Although they helped him with many things, it must be said that he was very ambitious.
Now, even a child in the Chen Kingdom knows how formidable Xiao Zili is. On the other hand, although the Crown Prince has such a reputation, he still cannot compare to Xiao Zili.
In his previous life, Huai Jin had already become a tool in the hands of Crown Prince Xiao Zicheng at this time. But this life is different. Ten years ago, although Huai Jin passed the imperial examination with the second-highest score, he did not stay in the capital. Instead, he became the magistrate of Pingyuan City.
With his abilities, he could never have become a county magistrate, but it was his own choice. And after ten years, he is now the prefect of Pingyuan City.
Without the sharp blade of Huai Jin, Xiao Zicheng was utterly mediocre and incompetent. If it weren't for the Emperor's support and the Right Chancellor's advice, he would have been dethroned long ago.
Because their boat was close enough to Song Qingyou's boat, they could hear the sounds coming from there.
"Your Highness, it's not like that, it's that woman Song Qingyou...!"
Seeing that his sister was about to say more, Xie Yuanming hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Shiyi, you mustn't be so presumptuous. That's the Crown Princess; how can you speak so carelessly?" After saying that, he turned around and clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, "Your Highness, my little sister is overwhelmed with grief and often says things she shouldn't. Please forgive her."
"Brother, I..."
"Shiyi, if you say anything more, I will have to tell our parents what happened today. Stop making a scene, let's go home!" This was his most beloved younger sister, how could he bear to scold her?
"Miss Liu, my sister hit you. I will go back and tell my parents, and then come to apologize in person. Please forgive me!"
Seeing how angry he was and how he apologized to others, Xie Shiyi had no choice but to say no more. "Your Highness, I was reckless today, but I was so angry that I hit her."
"Liu Xinwei, although I made a mistake, you can't blame me entirely. In the end, it's all because you have a sharp tongue. You deserve it." After saying that, she returned to her boat.
Xiao Zicheng watched this scene unfold, but before he could even speak, it was over. He looked at Song Qingyou, his Crown Princess, and invited her to come aboard his ship.
He was still helping with government affairs when his fourth brother called him out, saying that the imperial examination had ended and there would be many people boating today. Thinking that his father wanted him to get to know more candidates, he nodded in agreement.
But as soon as he arrived, he witnessed this scene. The one who hit him was his former concubine. Seeing how fierce she was, she was no match for Qingyou at all.
"Shiyi, you..." Xie Yuanming looked at Miss Liu, who was speechless after being spoken to by his sister. He knew that this matter was not entirely his sister's fault. He could only bow to the Crown Prince and then jump onto his sister's boat to leave.
Once they were alone, he whispered, "Shiyi, why are you disobeying your brother again and running out to play? Didn't I tell you to stay home?"
"You're still with the Crown Princess. I've told you before, that woman is no good. Stay away from her, or what will you do if you get hurt when your brother isn't around?"
Xie Shiyi waved her hand dismissively and said, "Brother, what are you afraid of? No matter how powerful that woman is, she's just the daughter of a high-ranking official. She's a vixen who bewitched His Highness the Crown Prince."
If it weren't for that woman Song Qingyou, the position of Crown Princess would be hers. Unfortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't even glanced at her yet.
She is clearly the Crown Prince's concubine, but she is already twenty-four years old and still hasn't been able to marry His Highness. Her parents have already started looking for other men for her, but who can compare to His Highness?
Moreover, if a woman is still unmarried at the age of twenty-four, she can comb her hair and go to a nunnery to become a nun.
Seeing her sister like this, Xie Shiyi felt sorry for her and began to resent the Crown Prince. If he didn't like her sister, he should have made it clear earlier. He always dragged it out, which ultimately caused both Miss Ye and her sister to remain unmarried.
