Xia Xingshen saw that Princess Yuanning was already desperate to run towards him, the corners of his mouth were slightly distant, and his steps suddenly accelerated.

Princess Yuanning was only thinking about catching up, and she didn't notice that Xia Xingshen's casual actions seemed to lure her to the stone bridge intentionally or unintentionally. But the palace maid who followed behind her chased after her, but slowly found that something was wrong.

"Princess, wait for the slave." The palace maid dragged her heavier and heavier steps to follow behind, not daring to shout loudly, for fear of alarming others, but she didn't dare to leave Princess Yuanning alone.

Seeing that Princess Yuanning was about to run to the stone bridge, she chuckled in her heart and secretly said that it was not good.

Immediately, I don't know where I got the strength, holding back my strength, three steps and two steps of sprinting, I actually caught up with Princess Yuanning at once, and stopped in front of her.

The palace maid gasped, her face was originally red from running in a hurry, but because of this, she turned white and blue in the face of Princess Yuanning's angry and terrifying gaze.

"Princess, please go back with the slave." The palace maid persuaded hard, and opened her arms to block the way in front of Princess Yuanning.

On the stone bridge, the figure of the summer star sinking indigo blue like the sky and the clear high clouds slowly lowered from the other end of the bridge.

Princess Yuanning looked at the palace maid who was in the way in front of her, and was furious, "Cheap maid, you dare to spoil my good deeds, I can't spare you." ”

Seeing that the indigo figure at the end of the bridge was only a touch of clothes and slid across the smooth bridge stone, Princess Yuanning was anxious and angry, and then looked at the palace maid in front of her, who was obviously trembling with her legs and still standing in front of her, and reached out angrily to push the person away.

Between this pushing, because Princess Yuanning was furious, this force is really as big as it is.

At this moment, the position they were standing in was a little strange, Princess Yuanning was standing on the edge of the pool outside, and the palace maid wanted to stop her, not letting her go up the stone bridge, but standing inside.

Although the palace maid didn't dare to push her away, she was unwilling to let her pass. Between the two of them, it was originally Princess Yuanning who pushed the palace maid away, because the palace maid would never dare to push the princess back, at most she dared to step back and block inch by inch.

But when she got to the back, she didn't know what was going on, Princess Yuanning pushed fiercely, but she suddenly stumbled under her feet, and she was rebounded by her own strength and stood unsteadily.

Then, for some reason, it fell into the pool with a "plop".

The palace maid was shocked.

Still, someone was more stunned than she was.

That man was Helenor, who was also angry and rowing alone in the lotus pond.

When Princess Yuanning had an argument with the palace maid and were at a stalemate next to him, Helianno didn't see them at all because of the angle, and he was rowing a small boat under the bridge at that time.

Right now, Princess Yuanning was rebounded by her own strength and fell into the water, if she had fallen directly into the water, Helianor, who had just felt a little more happy, would not be angry again at the moment of shock.

"Plop" Princess Yuanning fell into the water, oh no, it should be said that when she fell into the water upside down, she first hit the side of the boat driven by Helenor, and directly smashed the boat over, and she really fell into the water.

On the shore, the palace maid was shocked, and then dumbfounded.

When he subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to call for help, he suddenly saw Helenor, who was unlucky enough to fall from the boat and fell into the water, with a black head coming out of the water.

But when the palace maid saw him, she immediately changed her mind, swallowed back the cry for help that was about to roll out of the tip of her tongue, and instead looked at Heliano pleadingly, and begged repeatedly, "This son, please save my master." ”

The palace maid saw Heleno's appearance different from that of the Southern Chu people at first sight, and she was immediately stunned, although she didn't go to the front, she had also heard others describe Heleno's appearance.

Of course, although she guessed Helianno's identity at the moment, for the sake of Princess Yuanning's reputation, she had to pretend not to recognize it.

Helenor glared at her fiercely, tilted his head, and refused coldly and bluntly, "Don't save it." ”

The woman like a fat pig smashed his boat and made him embarrassed, why should he save the culprit who affected him.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment, glanced at Princess Yuanning, who was still struggling desperately after falling into the water for a while, gritted her teeth secretly, and said quickly, "Childe, my master is ...... She is Princess Yuanning, if you don't save you when you see death, aren't you afraid that the queen will blame you later? ”

Hearing the words of the queen mother, a slight hesitation flashed in Helianno's eyes.

If it was the daughter of another minister, he would absolutely stand by and watch whether she lived or died; But the queen's daughter frowned ......, and he glared at the palace maid, "Women are trouble!" ”

Dropping this sentence, he lowered his head and dived into the water, obviously reluctantly going down to save people.

Seeing that he was willing to go down to save people, the palace maid couldn't help but secretly recite Amitabha Buddha in her heart.

It is better for him to see the embarrassment of the princess alone than to alarm countless people to watch the princess.

But when Helianno tried a lot of effort to save Princess Yuanning, who was already unconscious, the palace maid realized that she was naïve.

Because it was the height of summer right now, Princess Yuanning's clothes were already thin, and now she soaked in the water, and then dragged up so straight by Helianor without gentleness, the undulating curves on her body were almost exposed in front of the red fruit.

Even after Helianor dragged the man ashore, his eyes were unintentional, and his breathing suddenly couldn't help but become slightly short.

Who let him look obscenely, so immortal just fell on Princess Yuanning's towering chest.

And Princess Yuanning, who is drenched in clothes, has thin clothes that fit on the delicate curves, and her looming figure is simply a crime.

Seeing this, the palace maid didn't realize that her face changed greatly.

At this moment, there seemed to be countless footsteps around at the same time.

The palace maid was very anxious, and couldn't help but look at Heliano pleadingly, "Childe, please take off your coat...... Well, please send the princess back to the palace. ”

The palace maid thought, anyway, Princess Yuanning's body will almost be seen by this person, so it is better to simply let him be responsible for sending the person back directly, than to wait for more people to bump into the embarrassing appearance of the princess.

Helianno thought about it, but he didn't know what to think, so he agreed to the palace maid's proposal, took off his coat and covered the princess in three or two times, and then picked up Princess Yuanning like a person carrying a piece of wood.

"Where's her bedchamber? Lead the way. ”

The palace maid listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and she didn't dare to hesitate for half a minute, and walked ahead nervously, "Son, please follow the slave and maid." ”

Although Heliannuo quietly sent Princess Yuanning back to her bedroom, it was inevitable to ask for a royal doctor later, and this matter naturally reached the ears of Emperor Chu and the empress.

After Heliannuo freshened up, he went to the Taihe Hall to ask to see Emperor Chu.

"Helianor knocks on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Entering the main hall of the Taihe Palace, I saw the Emperor of Chu sitting next to the low couch at will, although the Emperor of Chu at this moment was wearing regular clothes, and there was no posture of sitting upright, but the emperor was accumulating more and more prestige.

Helenor only glanced at it, and he couldn't help but feel full of awe from the bottom of his heart.

Emperor Chu glanced at Heliannuo, who was kneeling and bowing to the ground, and his cold eyes melted a little warm.

However, he still hung Helenor for a long time before he said unhurriedly, "Get up." ”

Knowing in his heart what Helian Nuo was asking to see at this moment, Emperor Chu wanted to pretend to be confused with his shelf, and asked in a deep voice, "The third prince is coming to see me at this moment, what is the matter?" ”

"The minister is here, there are two important matters that need to be presented to Your Majesty." Under the scorching, deep and cold gaze of Emperor Chu, Helian Nuo felt as uncomfortable as sitting on a needle carpet, but he had to suppress the fear in his heart and said carefully, "First, when the minister was enjoying the lotus in the imperial garden, he had no intention of rescuing a woman who fell into the water, and later learned that she was Princess Yuanning. ”

Emperor Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze suddenly shot at him like a sharp arrow, and Helianno immediately knelt on the ground under his domineering majesty, and he didn't even dare to move. It took a long time before he tried to maintain his composure under his strong pressure, and continued, "Please be aware of Your Majesty, the minister has no covetousness for Princess Yuanning. ”

Emperor Chu stared at him with squinted eyes and snorted coldly and noncommittally.

Helenor stared down at the carpet embroidered with large daisies, but he still felt like pins and needles in his knees.

He was nervous, licked his lips unconsciously, and continued, "The second thing, the minister implores His Majesty to give Princess Yuanning a marriage to the minister. ”

Emperor Chu casually picked up the teacup on the couch and threw it in front of him, "Didn't you say that you didn't covet Princess Yuanning?" The voice sounded the same, but his teacup tossing fully expressed the anger in his heart.

"How dare you ask me to give her to you in marriage?"

"Helenor, you are so daring."

Emperor Chu spoke more slowly than one sentence at a time, but his tone was colder than one word at a time; Helianor was shocked when he heard this, but he also knew that he must not show cowardice at this time, let alone deny what he said earlier.

Otherwise, I am afraid that in an instant, he will die under this moody emperor.

"Your Majesty is aware that the minister has absolutely no covetousness for Princess Yuanning before, if the minister has half a little bit of Xiao thinking before, the minister would rather die with five thunders."

"Swear a poisonous oath?" Emperor Chu snorted, his eyes swept away, his eyes were full of anger and contempt, "Do you think that in this way I will believe you are a fool?" ”

"If you don't covet her, why do you come to me to marry now?" Emperor Chu's angry voice became two points heavier, "It's just nonsense." ”

Helenor's back and forehead were already soaked with dense cold sweat under the pressure of his eyes that were as cold as a knife and sandwiched with thunderous anger.

At this moment, he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to live and marry Princess Yuanning, he could only confess in front of Emperor Chu.

In front of this deep-minded and shrewd emperor, if he dared to try to deceive a little bit, he himself had a premonition that Emperor Chu would definitely not spare him.

"Your Majesty, the minister was eager to save people's hearts at that time, and he had no intention of offending the princess; But the minister has indeed ......" Heliannuo gritted his teeth, and could withstand the cold gaze of Emperor Chu, "It's ......, and the minister implores His Majesty to give Princess Yuanning a marriage to the minister, and the minister will definitely respect her and love her in the future." ”

In fact, Emperor Chu knew that with Princess Yuanning's domineering temperament and the fact that her body was looked down upon today, marrying Heliannuo was the best and most satisfying choice.

However, it doesn't matter if he likes that daughter in his heart or not. In the final analysis, that is also the princess of Nanchu, representing the face of Nanchu.

Of course, the king of a country had to put on a good posture, and in the end, he reluctantly agreed to Heliano's request under the combination of grace and power, so that he would not fall into the prestige of Southern Chu.

In the final analysis, Emperor Chu was actually quite in favor of marrying Princess Yuanning to Heliannuo.

First, marrying Princess Yuanning far away is with the idea that out of sight is pure.

Second, the daughter was no longer annoyed in front of him, and his courtier's heart was pure.

If you are afraid, you will be afraid of .......

Helian Nuo saw that his expression was relaxed, but he was still groaning, and his eyes rolled, and he guessed a little bit of Emperor Chu's thoughts.

His head slammed on the ground, and he immediately said sincerely and solemnly again, "The minister dares to guarantee with the head of the Xiangshang, as long as His Majesty agrees to give Princess Yuanning to the minister, the minister will definitely respect her and love her in the future." ”

Emperor Chu stared at him with squinted eyes, stared at him for a long time, and saw that Helian Nuo was still kneeling like a mountain, and then said slowly, "Since you are sincere, I will reluctantly ......make it difficult for you."

"Your Majesty, slow down," a powerful cold drink suddenly came in from the door, and then I saw the queen dragging her gorgeous skirt and stepping on the ground with light and shadow walking in nobly, "The concubine disagrees. ”

Helianor looked up and saw the queen's calm and dignified face coming against the light, so he couldn't help frowning secretly, and his heart was unwilling to choke.

It's just one step away, it's just one step away, why does this woman want to stir things up.

Emperor Chu didn't seem surprised at all when he saw her coming in directly to stop her order, and his cold face did not reveal a trace of displeasure, he only raised his eyes slightly and looked at her with a smile, "Oh, why doesn't the queen agree?" ”

You know, now her daughter's body has been seen by Helenor. Moreover, Helian Nuo rescued the person from the water and carried it all the way back to the princess's bedroom, Princess Yuanning was already seen and understood by the kid in front of her.

If she did not agree to the marriage, did the queen think that her good daughter would be able to marry a better family in the future?

The queen walked unhurriedly to Emperor Chu and stood still, and slowly bowed, but she didn't even look at Heliannuo, who had been kneeling on the ground.

He only looked at Emperor Chu coldly, and said slowly, "Your Majesty is working hard day and night on state affairs, and the concubines are incompetent, so you can only come up with ideas on small matters such as children's marriages to share Your Majesty's worries." ”

This is really straightforward, I almost didn't say directly to Emperor Chu, you are your emperor and worry about your state affairs, and my daughter's marriage is my mother's worry.

Emperor Chu squinted at her, his face was as cold as water, but the corners of his lips seemed to have a faint smile. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a negotiating tone, "Oh, I think there is a suitable candidate in the queen's heart?" ”

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs," the queen raised her cold face slightly, and met his deep and unfathomable gaze, her height and nobility were not slightly inferior because she was in front of Emperor Chu, "It's normal to put some small things aside occasionally." ”
