Ji Fengyao simply switched to an even more energetic musical style, and sang and danced with even more vigor:
"Yes, that's right. Come to the left and draw a dragon with me, and draw a rainbow on your right."
Come on, draw a rainbow with me on the left, and then draw a dragon on your right!
Seeing the little female bandit on the shore interacting with him so happily, and looking into her seemingly glowing eyes, Shang Dongyang in the water couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion:
No woman has ever stirred his emotions like this before!
This little female bandit is indeed extraordinary.
No wonder even a cold-blooded and reserved man like the Ninth Prince could be captivated by her!
Anyway, the lake wouldn't drown him, and almost everyone around him was his man, so Shang Dongyang soaked in the lake and had a wild time with the little female bandit.
No one noticed that Lin Shuang, the maidservant beside Ji Fengyao, quietly slipped out.
Over at Changyin Pavilion.
The Empress Dowager smiled on the outside but cursed inwardly as she accompanied the Empress and a group of old princes to listen to music and watch a play.
Suddenly, a maid with disheveled hair rushed in, shouting, "It's terrible, Your Majesty! The Crown Prince has fallen into Xiaoqing Lake!"
“Xiaoqing Lake…” A calculating glint flashed in the Empress Dowager’s old eyes as she exclaimed in alarm, “Oh dear, the water level of Xiaoqing Lake is quite high at this time of year!”
"His Highness's hand seems to be injured. When I arrived, His Highness was still soaking in the water," the maid cried anxiously, kneeling on the ground. "Your Highness, please quickly send someone to save His Highness!"
The Empress naturally knew that the Crown Prince could swim, but upon hearing that he had injured his hand, she became restless.
The Empress Dowager was extremely anxious, patting the armrest of her wheelchair and saying repeatedly, "Then hurry up and call someone! Quickly! Push me to Xiaoqing Lake, I have to go and see! The Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the Great Zhao Dynasty, he can't be allowed to get into trouble!"
Such a big deal as the crown prince falling into the water;
Since the Empress Dowager had made her move, the old princes were too embarrassed to stay there any longer to listen to music and watch the play, so they all left their seats and followed the Empress Dowager.
The Empress had a feeling that something was wrong, but the Empress Dowager had already rushed out with a group of old princes, so she had no choice but to go.
A large group of people marched toward Xiaoqing Lake.
Along the way, they encountered palace servants who were taking a break from their duties, and many of the bolder ones followed from a distance to watch the spectacle.
When the Empress Dowager and a group of old princes arrived at Xiaoqing Lake, Shang Dongyang was still lingering in the lake. A small circle of palace servants from the East Palace or those close to the East Palace had gathered around the lake. Led by Ji Fengyao, they were all shaking their heads, and they were doing it quite enthusiastically.
"Come on, everyone, bow your heads with me, and swim forward with your left and right hands!" The little bandit's clear voice, amplified by her spiritual power, carried far and wide, shouting with incredible energy: "Cover your forehead and shake your hips and elbows..."
The one who was rocking the most enthusiastically was none other than the prince, who was swimming energetically all over the lake, keeping up with everyone's rhythm.
The group of old princes: "..."
Empress Dowager: "..."
The Empress and the palace servants who arrived shortly after were all dumbfounded:
What is the Crown Prince, the heir apparent, doing?!
Are you putting on a monkey show?!
"Crown Prince!" The Empress, disregarding her image, rushed to the lakeside, kicking away several palace maids blocking her way, her voice cracking with rage: "What are you doing?!"
Shang Dongyang, who was rocking happily in the water, suddenly heard the Empress's shrewish roar and was immediately jolted awake.
Looking up at the shore again, seeing a group of old princes staring at him with constipated expressions, Shang Dongyang wished he could sink to the bottom of the water and resurface.
