Chapter 209 Falling Into the Water

Before Du Jingyi could say anything, Li, who had been in a good temper just now, suddenly started to speak.

"Why is Miss Wei so aggressive? It's a life after all."

Biting her lower lip tightly, she looked innocent again.

"The Minister's wife misunderstood Jialian. I didn't mean that. I..."

Before she finished speaking, Li waved her hand and closed her eyes impatiently.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess frowned and looked at Wei Jialian, feeling unhappy.

Originally, the Wei family was not presentable in front of them. Now the daughter who was raised still had such a temper. I really didn't know what kind of jokes would happen at the coming-of-age banquet in a few days.

So she said in a deep voice.

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

"Yes."

With one sentence, Wei Jialian's idea of ​​staying to watch the show was shattered. Although she was worried, she didn't dare to disobey the Crown Princess's intention.

So she stood up and walked out awkwardly, still feeling innocent in her eyes.

After she left, Mrs. Xing whispered to Mrs. Gu.

"It's what she deserves. The wife of the Minister is the most upright and frank. It's no wonder that she was sent away by the Crown Princess for playing tricks in front of her."

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

Wei Jialian dared to act rashly in front of them at such a young age. It can be seen that the people of the Wei family are not good at educating their daughters.

But it is also true that the old lady of the Wei family passed away, and the daughters-in-law of the Wei family were not outstanding, so naturally they could not teach children to be more polite.

A trace of happiness flashed in Mrs. Gu's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

Xue Niang escaped the disaster and immediately returned the peony velvet in her hand to Mrs. Li, the Minister, but saw the Crown Princess smiled softly and said.

"This flower is the first time I wear it. Today, I suddenly don't see your talent. I'll take this flower as a betrothal gift. We'll talk about it another day."

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

So she could only respond quickly with a guilty conscience.

"Your servant obeys your command."

Then, she and Gu Xiaolang retreated to the side of Madam Gu, looking at the people who were still being salvaged on the river with a worried look.

In her heart, she was worried about the drowning people and how she would "repay her debt" in the future.

The lights shone on everyone's faces for a long time, dimming.

Because someone fell into the water, the chatters, drunks, and chatters on the pleasure boats gathered on the deck, looking anxiously and curiously at the couple struggling in the water.

The man was dressed in bright yellow clothes, and he was obviously a royal family member.

The woman who was still struggling next to him was wearing a moon-white long skirt.

Just look at her hair accessories today, which can shine brightly and warmly in the dark night, and you will know that they are not vulgar.

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

"Seventh Prince..."

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

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

After hearing such a shout, the Fourth Prince also pushed through the crowd and looked over.

The two brothers boarded the painting boat together. They were still singing and drinking just now. How could he go down in the blink of an eye?

So, he immediately scolded the people around him.

"If you can't save the Seventh Prince, I want you to pay with your lives!"

Hearing this, more people jumped into the water. After a while, they gathered in the canal in the dark night like dumplings.

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

The winter river water was freezing cold. As soon as the two got on the boat, they were surrounded by the eunuchs and palace maids around them, wiping water and covering their hands.

So panicked...

The Seventh Prince was a man after all, so although he was also very cold, he had to maintain his dignity in front of everyone.

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

Her hair and clothes were in disarray, and the discussions of the people around her made her feel ashamed. She fainted in a hurry.

"Miss, wake up quickly, Miss!"

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince's face darkened and he ordered.

"Send Miss Zhao to rest quickly, and let the imperial doctor go over immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

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

The Crown Princess looked at the embarrassed Seventh Prince in front of her indifferently, and 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 going to be sent to the palace in the spring. How could she fall into the water with the Seventh Prince?

Everyone present had some doubts in their hearts.

But because of the Seventh Prince's face, no one dared to question it.

The Seventh Prince also knew that it was unreasonable, so he immediately said to the Crown Princess.

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

If he didn't say anything, it might be better.

This voice was full of loopholes.

There were women on this pleasure boat. What was he, a royal man, doing in another pleasure boat instead of talking with the Crown Prince in the front?

In the past, he was also an elegant and handsome man, with a royal temperament, as bright as the moon and the breeze.

Now he is acting like a lecher, isn't this a joke?

The Crown Princess doesn't even need to add fuel to the fire, today's incident will definitely be spread widely.

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

"Seventh brother, go and drink a bowl of ginger tea. It's cold and cold. It's troublesome if you hurt yourself. As for Miss Zhao, I will take care of her. You don't need to worry."

Hearing this, the pale face of the Seventh Prince became a little embarrassed.

But he did it himself, so he couldn't say much, so he could only shut up and let the palace people take him away.

Not long after he left, the Crown Prince and others came over from the connection of the pleasure boat, looking anxious, and asked.

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

He was just being friendly with the fourth and seventh princes, so he couldn't help but feel happy in his words.

So the fourth prince who was following behind him was naturally dissatisfied, but the most important thing at the moment was the situation of the seventh brother, so he didn't care too much.

The Crown Princess saw that they had come in a group, so she pretended to protect the seventh prince and spoke evasively.

"Nothing serious, they were all fished out, but I was afraid that they were choking on water, so I asked the imperial doctor to treat them."

Although Miss Zhao was not mentioned in the words, who among them would not understand that it was two people.
