Countless willow threads hang down on the water, gently swaying with the breeze, from light to thick green, like mist and smoke, steaming on the blue waves.

In the shade of the willows where the sun could not penetrate, a lake-blue figure climbed ashore in three or two clicks.

She turned to look at the green of the river, rubbed her wet hands against her equally wet skirt, and suddenly she saw a pair of eyes, eyes hidden in the shadows of the trees, as bright as the morning star.

The tip of her toe touched a hard object, and when she looked down, it was a palm-sized stone.

The man hiding in the shadow of the tree suddenly spoke: "You have killed someone, I have seen you kill someone." ”

Without saying a word, she picked up the stone and slapped it at the man's head.

The man fell to the ground without saying a word, dressed in coarse brown caftan and a half-grown boy of sixteen or seventeen.

She leaned down to sniff out, and fainted.

"Hey, it's weirdly good-looking." She muttered quietly.

There was a shout in the distance, and she didn't dare to stop any longer, so she lifted her skirt and ran away......

Ganshi Bridge is not a bridge, but a place. It is located in the southeast direction of the capital, facing the Yudai River in front of it, backed by Xiaogan Mountain, and has scenery all year round. Coming out of here, walking a stick of incense, there are the two leading academies in the capital, as well as the Lixiangju and Xibi Lane, where literati and ink writers gather, seem to be in a corner, but everywhere is elegant.

Many of the families in the capital have set up other courtyards in this area. The annex of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang has a very straightforward name - Zhaoyang Xiaozhu, the location is not the best, but it is not bad.

In late spring, the sky is as blue as a flawless sapphire.

The gate of Zhaoyang Xiaozhu was open, and more than a dozen guards ran out in a hurry, but they didn't expect to be stunned as soon as they stepped out of the threshold, and they saw the little girl running towards them.

The little girl was twelve or thirteen years old, and her facial features were very good, but they had not yet grown, just like the few sticks on her hair, which I don't know whether they were aquatic plants or green grass, and they were green everywhere. Red Coral had one missing earring, none of the embroidered shoes on his feet, a pair of white silk socks were full of mud, and the lake-blue dress on his body was still neat, but it was drenched, and there was a large patch of moss on the skirt.

"Girl?"

Shi Yi, the leader, was surprised and delighted, tears were about to flow out, great, the girl is not dead, his two younger brothers, at this time, are still fishing for people in the Yudai River, in case the girl has three long and two short, Shi Bing and Shi Ding will change their surnames, not surnamed Shi, change their surnames to corpses, corpses of corpses.

Perhaps she was in a hurry, and the little girl gasped: "Don't block the door, let me go in first." ”

A group of people hurriedly made way out, and the little girl stepped into the threshold, but turned her head again, her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped on Shi Yi's face, she said: "You all saw it, I was in the other courtyard, and I didn't go anywhere." ”

Before Shi Yi and the others could react, the little girl had already run in.

Shi Yi hurriedly pulled over a small servant and ordered: "Go and tell the third and fourth children, just say that there is no need to look for them, the girl is in the other courtyard, she has not gone anywhere, and she ......is safe and sound."

This little girl is Hua Jingyao, the only daughter of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang.

The four brothers of the Shi family have been in the Eldest Princess's Mansion since they were children, and they almost watched Hua Jingyao grow up, but Shi Yi didn't know why, and felt that today's girl seemed to be different from the past.

Hua Jingyao is dignified and dignified, and her demeanor is even more impeccable, like today, she has not had since Hua Jingyao was five years old.

Entering the courtyard, Hua Jingyao's footsteps slowed down, she looked left and right, and couldn't remember how to walk to the backyard for a while.

Someone had already rushed in to report the news, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight maids and women trotted out to meet them.

"Oh, my good girl, you're back, and you're scared to death the slaves."

……

A bowl of hot ginger soup went down, Hua Jingyao's three souls and seven spirits finally came back, the two rough mothers-in-law carried the bath bucket in, and two maids sprinkled flower petals and soap beans, ready to serve Hua Jingyao to bathe.

Hua Jingyao waved at them: "Go outside, I'll wash it myself." ”

The two maids were full of surprise, but they still closed the door and retreated.

Hua Jingyao sat in the bathtub, sat for a moment, reached out and took the rake mirror placed next to her, and a childish face was reflected in the mirror.

Sister's face.

Hua Jingyao put down the rake mirror and slowly closed her eyes.

……

"Scoop it up!"

"Come on!"

The man who fell into the water was extremely heavy, and the two relatives used their strength to feed, and dragged a wet man to the shore.

In the distance, Zhaoyang Xiaozhu's little servant rushed over and found Shi Bing and Shi Ding.

"Two Shi Ye, Master Yi let me tell me, the girl is in the other courtyard, she is not injured or scared, she is safe!"

Shi Bing and Shi Ding breathed a long sigh of relief, Shi Ding pulled his neck and looked ahead, one of his relatives was still shouting, and the other was lying down, mouth-to-mouth.

"Third brother, they seem to be shouting at us, let's go over and take a look, after all, that's the prince."

Yes, who would have thought that the dignified second prince would only go out with two relatives, look, this is not enough, if the second prince dies, there is no one who can even go back to the palace to report the news.

After confirming that their girl was fine, Shi Bing and Shi Ding's hearts were relieved, and the two walked over, only to see the second prince Zhao Qian lying on the ground, his eyes closed and his face pale.

"His Royal Highness fell into the water to save Miss Hua." One of the relatives cried.

The corners of Shi Bing's eyes twitched, and he said with a straight face: "It's none of our girl's business, our girl hasn't fallen into the water, so it's good to enjoy the flowers and swing in the courtyard at this time." ”

"What?" Qin Sui looked stunned.

Did he hear it wrong? Definitely not.

Is he mistaken? It's impossible, they and the second prince hid on the opposite bank, three people with six eyes, and when they saw Miss Hua Da fall into the river, the second prince jumped down to save people.

Miss Huada is wearing lake blue clothes today, and the person who fell into the water is also wearing lake blue clothes.

Can't be wrong?

"Why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open, it's obvious that Miss Hua Da fell into the water first, and the second prince saved people later." The retort in person.

Shi Bing was very unhappy in his heart, do you two princes' mansions want to rely on our eldest princess's mansion? Although he is a rough man, he also knows that the woman fell into the water and was rescued by the man, once it is confirmed, it is not a good thing.

Besides, the girl has returned to the other courtyard, what about the people you saved? Who saw you save people?

Shi Bing was about to sneer at him, only to hear a miserable scream of "ah", and Zhao Qian, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig, actually sat up.

That scream was made by Zhao Qian.

Shi Bing looked at Shi Ding in surprise who was bent over and didn't have time to withdraw his arm, and asked, "What did you do to him?" ”

Shi Ding looked proud: "Look, I brought the Second Highness to life, I saved the Second Highness!" ”

The second prince, Zhao Qian, did come back to life, and after spitting out a puddle of water, two small fish, and a few shrimps, he came back to life.

Zhao Qian looked around, only to see his two personal entourage, and the guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

"Where's my cousin?" Zhao asked weakly, his body was in pain, and he had to lie down again.

Shi Bing grinned, and Xiao Si's palm slapped down...... People are alive, but they don't know if their ribs are broken.

Their old historian was born with divine power, but in their generation, it was only inherited to the little fourth Shi Ding. When Sting was ten years old, he killed a cow with one punch, and he was worried about causing trouble, and only the family knew about Sting's natural powers.

"Our girl is still in the courtyard at this time, His Royal Highness Lao Er has remembered it, the little ones will go back, and when they see the girl, they will definitely convey your greetings to her." Shi Bingshi gave a salute and was about to leave.

"Wait, you say...... You said you girls were in ...... In the annex? Zhao Qian inhaled as he spoke, and the pain in his body became more and more painful, so painful that he was almost speechless.

"Back to the Second Highness, in the past two days, the eldest princess has been aiming at Guangji Temple for the prince of Yongguo and the wife of the prince, and the girl has come to the other courtyard, and she has not even left the gate." Shi Bing's voice was more respectful, he didn't lie, the girl really didn't go out of the door, she came out of the back door.

Impossible, how is it possible?

Zhao Qian tried to sit up, but this time, he didn't even have the strength to lift his neck. My head was dizzy, and my temples throbbed.

When he jumped into the river, Hua Jingyao's head floated and sank on the water, and he was about to drown, he swam over and didn't grab her arm, she suddenly sank, and before he could react, his two hands suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the water and strangled his neck......

Is it all an illusion? Hua Jingyao didn't fall into the water, did he meet the water ghost?

Zhao Qian tried hard to raise his neck, and when he saw his neck, Shi Ding was stunned, and wanted to say something, but covered his mouth.
