Chapter 356: Self-help
The banquet held by one's own family is not so exquisite.
The troupe is also usually kept in the house, and most of the plays they pick are the dramas that the ladies usually like.
The eldest princess frowned slightly and stroked the Buddha beads on her wrist.
I went for so long to change my clothes.
I was going to knock on the side and ask something, but who knows why Chonghua accidentally soiled the skirt. It's just a matter of getting dirty, changing her clothes and making so many people wait for her.
I was upset, and I couldn't help but glance at the noble girl who had just knocked over the teacup.
Hua Guifei didn't think anything of it, Chonghua's presence and absence didn't have much to do with it. None of them who live in the palace can find out about the emperor's recent situation, and she, a crown princess who lives outside the palace, can find out.
Moreover, some people say that the emperor passed on important things to the crown prince. If that's the case, it's good to pass on the throne directly, why bother with this kind of moth.
The current situation in Beijing is not completely in the hands of the crown prince. But one of the remaining two princes who can rob him is dedicated to his own family's affairs, and the other is forced to evaporate from the world. No matter how you look at it, this throne will be handed over to the crown prince. The emperor has nothing to hide.
It's just a small action, how many people can't sleep well at night.
Hua Guifei sneered, thinking that she was a person watching the play, but she didn't know that the emperor standing outside was the one who watched the play.
Chonghua has been gone for a while, and even the ladies and ladies who didn't feel anything at first began to whisper.
Yuwen Yaoqin, who was sitting in the chair, lowered her eyebrows slightly, but she missed for a while. And no one saw it. Even if Chonghua was really found drowning in the lotus pond, it could only be said that she was careless when she walked.
But the hands in the wide sleeves were cold.
It was the first time she had killed someone......
Chonghua once drowned once when he was a child. That was a long, long time ago, in the women's bath, Chonghua couldn't stand unsteadily because of the slippery soles of his feet. I almost drowned in the bath like that. In retrospect, it's not terrible, but it was just that I fell head-down into the water at that time, and I couldn't distinguish my head and feet for a while, and I couldn't stand on my feet, which made people panic.
The lotus pond was not as deep as she had imagined, and Chonghua held her breath and tried to keep her head up. Try to reach the bottom of the pool with your feet.
The pool is about two meters deep. Chonghua's height in this life is barely enough. If you want to stand up, you can't show your head at all.
She knows how to swim. But the clothes on his body were embroidered with gold threads, and the weight was even heavier than on land, let alone in the water.
The golden hairpin of Yuwen Yaoqin was tightly pinched in his hand. Chonghua stabilized his mind. Reach for the strap of your garment.
Suddenly, there was a pop overhead. It seems that someone jumped into the lotus pond.
It was hard to hear through the water, and it seemed that someone was shouting on the shore.
Chonghua was a spirit, desperately tearing the clothes on his body. It's good to have someone come to the rescue. But if it's a strange man, it's a strange man. Then even if she is saved, she will be a loss of virtue. When the time comes, it will definitely be more troublesome than death. No one saw her and Yuwen Yaoqin tearing into the water, and it might be so ugly that it would be spread out.
Chonghua frowned. Hold your breath. I began to feel dizzy in front of my eyes.
I saw a man in a dark shirt swimming towards her.
The moment the big hand grabbed Chonghua's wrist, Chonghua saw the other party's face clearly.
Absolutely not! Not even the one in 10,000 chance of being seen on the street. The man's eyebrows looked slender and beautiful. Chonghua subconsciously took the golden hairpin and stabbed at the man.
The person who came Xu didn't expect Chonghua to not allow him to save her. The surprised kung fu was stabbed by Chonghua.
Chonghua broke free of the other party's hand and swiped desperately to the side. Thankfully, although this dress looks gorgeous, it is not very difficult to take off.
Chonghua took off only a close-fitting skirt. Pulling his clothes in his hands, he swam into the distance.
Thankfully, she remembers how to swim. It is said that once you learn the skill of swimming, you will never forget it. Chonghua slowly surfaced, and the person was already on the other side of the lotus pond. The dense lotus flowers blocked in front of him, and he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the pond.
Chonghua gasped hard. It doesn't get any more inconsistency than that. If it weren't for this dress. I'm afraid that I won't be pulled by Yuwen Yaoqin.
Looking up at the high wall behind him, Chonghua wrapped his wet clothes around his body. lowered his voice and shouted Canglan.
Five or six shouts. Canglan turned over from the end of the high wall. I was shocked when I saw Chonghua's wolf bรจi. Fortunately, Chonghua wrapped himself tightly, and Canglan didn't have to worry so much.
"Mother."
"Go look for the green kites, tell them that I am here in the lotus pond, bring both sets of clothes, and remember to sprinkle some tea on the hem of my skirt with the same set." Chonghua only felt chills all over his body, and he had to quickly find a place to dry his hair.
This is the Eldest Princess's Mansion, full of maids waiting. If the maids see that her hair is wet, it will be troublesome.
Chonghua is not so stupid, even if he said that Yuwen Yaoqin pushed her into the water, how many people would believe it. When the time comes, it is indispensable to pull out the idea that she once lived in Tongjiang Palace, Chen sesame seeds, and rotten grain. On the contrary, it is troublesome.
You can only pretend that you have never fallen into the water.
Shocked, Chonghua reached out and touched the headdress on his head. Because I usually don't like to wear hairpins and shake them, Chonghua's hairstyle today is very simple, only some gem chains have fallen, but they don't sink at all.
The hair was wet from falling water, and the jewel chain and pearl hair plugs were tangled in the hair. Not to mention losing it, it takes a lot of effort to take it down.
I was finally relieved, and it would be bad if I left evidence.
Wait a minute, Chonghua lowered his head, what about the golden hairpin in his hand?
He covered his mouth violently, and just now he wanted to escape the man's clamp and stabbed the man with a golden hairpin. It must have been stabbed, but I didn't have time to see where it was. Eighty percent of the golden hairpin was taken off at that time.
"!" Qing Kite and Zi Mo ran over from the tree-lined path.
They had already been informed that the crown princess had soiled the hem of her skirt and asked them to come in with her clothes to serve. But after looking for a long time, I couldn't find where Chonghua was. If it weren't for Canglan running to look for them, Bacheng would still be circling around the yard.
"Niangniang, are you hurt anywhere?" Zi Mo's face turned white with fright.
Chonghua waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's just choking on a mouthful of water." Hurry up and dry me out. Did you spill tea on your clothes? โ
Zi Mo nodded: "According to the mother's instructions, I sprinkled a little flower tea on the skirt." โ
Chonghua nodded and struggled to stand up. Let Qing Kite and Zi Mo quickly clean themselves.
Qing Kite didn't have a towel on hand, so she directly ripped off a skirt from her body and wrung Chonghua's hair dry. Luckily, the weather is warm now, and my hair dries relatively quickly.
Chonghua asked them to coil up their hair, it doesn't matter if it's wet inside, it doesn't matter if it looks unchanged on the outside.
I quickly changed my clothes again.
The front yard has become a mess. A maid came to report that a son in the lotus pond had been stabbed to death by a golden hairpin. A pool of blood.
The eldest princess's eyebrows jumped, and she asked with a gloomy face, "What's the matter?" โ
The maid replied tremblingly: "The maidservants passed by the lotus pond and saw a figure flickering inside. So he called for someone to come and save him. Who knew that a boy emerged from the water with a golden hairpin around his neck. โ
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "What about the crown princess?" โ
Hua Guifei glanced at the eldest princess, is this planning to push this matter onto Chonghua indiscriminately? In this way, the prince will definitely be involved.
Regardless of other things, it is obvious to all that the prince favors the princess. We will not sit idly by.
The maids in the back came over and said that they had never seen the crown princess.
The eldest princess patted the armrest of the chair: "Someone, go and catch the crown princess!" โ
Even Concubine Xian could hear that the eldest princess was planning to pull Chonghua into the water. I just don't know if I can do it.
"Is there anything wrong with the eldest aunt looking for a concubine?" Chonghua changed his clothes, and walked gracefully and magnificently from the other end of the corridor with the help of two maids.
Everyone was stunned. How did you come from the other end of the cloister? These are two opposite directions to the lotus pond.
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and put on a loving smile: "It's so memorable to go for so long." โ
Chonghua saluted respectfully, with a decent smile on his face: "Let the eldest aunt worry." The concubine went to change her clothes, and the little girl who led the way didn't know where she went, but she made the concubine lost. Fortunately, I met two maids who came to look for the concubine, otherwise, the concubine would still be looking at the flowers in the garden at this time. โ
The words were playful, but those who had a heart could hear it at once, how could the maid who led the way suddenly disappear. Isn't this obviously trying to trap the crown princess? Everyone has been trained in the back house, and this kind of thing has to be done once or twice. It's clear in my mind right now.
"What did the eldest aunt just say? What happened to the lotus pond? Chonghua looked at the eldest princess with a puzzled face.
Yuwen Yaoqin's eyes widened the moment she came out of Chonghua. It couldn't be, she should have drowned. How could such heavy clothes float up. Besides, there were people killed on the other side of the lotus pond. It doesn't matter what's going on.
Feeling Yuwen Yaoqin's eyes staring at him, Chonghua turned his face slightly and smiled at Yuwen Yaoqin.
The eldest princess frowned, and she could guess a few points just by looking at her daughter's expression. It seems that Fang Cai's daughter is running to find fault. But Chonghua came back unharmed. Or coming from the other direction. It's fitting to say that you're lost.
Her eyes darkened, and the eldest princess turned her face and ordered: "Let people find out why that prince died." โ
The death of someone in the house is definitely a bad thing. Besides, it's still dead and unknown, where can this be left like this. Someone immediately notified Jinyiwei. This is a matter of the eldest princess's family, where to underestimate it.
When Lin Qingsheng entered the courtyard, he saw the face of the eldest princess Tie Qing, and his eyes suddenly darkened. (To be continued) R655
