The Eastern Continent, the imperial capital of the Jin Kingdom.

Located in the center of the Jin capital, the Jin Imperial Palace is composed of a combination of splendid palaces and various beautiful garden corridors, each of which is carefully maintained by palace people. The closer you get to the heart of the palace, the more beautiful the view becomes.

Inside the Lotus Garden in the depths of the Imperial Palace.

Fourteen-year-old Ning You was supported by her maid Dong'er and struggled to move forward. She knelt in Zhiyi Palace all morning today, the reason was just that she was distracted when she was teaching her aunt to speak, in fact, even if she was not distracted, the aunts would still find other excuses to punish her. Since the death of Ning You's mother, the Empress of the Jin Emperor, these punishments have become her daily routine.

Fortunately, since Ning You woke up with a high fever, she had forgotten everything before, which also saved her from feeling sad about the good times of the past.

"Princess, be careful." Dong'er helped her princess walk by the pool, with dark green wind lotus and pink and white lotus flowers on her side.

"Isn't this the twelfth princess Ning You?" The girl's laughing voice came from the front, with a faint banter: "Why, I was punished by my aunt again." ”

Ning You didn't need to look up to know who was coming. In the past two months, she has hated this person the most. It's obviously stupid, but he still has to pretend to be smart, and in the end he just uses it as a gunman.

A group of palace maids in front of them walked slowly around two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls. The two girls who were surrounded in the middle were dressed beautifully and luxuriously, with arrogant and indifferent expressions, and their every move, just from a distance, made people feel that they were incomprehensible.

When Dong'er saw them approaching, she hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Dong'er has seen the tenth princess, and the eleventh princess." ”

Ning You didn't bother to pay attention to them, pulled Dong'er's hand, and motioned for her to move on.

"When you see your sister, you're like that? What about the royal etiquette that your aunt taught you? Isn't it the twelfth sister who still wants to continue to starve and be punished? The tenth princess, Ning Hua, saw that the person opposite wanted to escape, so she deliberately hurried to greet her. The palace maids brought by the two princesses immediately willingly blocked Ning You's way.

Seeing this, Ning You had to stop. Her gaze swept over the crowd around her, her mind moved slightly, and she held the maid with her hand and said with a smile: "The two sisters also know that the reason why I am often punished is because I don't understand these boring etiquette, so it is better for my sister to demonstrate it here, and Ning You will do it." ”

When the tenth princess heard this, she happily glanced at Ning Lin beside her, and there was a faint invitation in the depths of her eyes.

Eleventh princess Ning Lin, even in the royal palace full of handsome men and beauties, her beauty can be regarded as outstanding, especially her pair of phoenix eyes, which look exactly the same as her mother, the second queen of the Jin Emperor. She listened to Ning You's words, frowned and was about to stop it, but the ten princesses over there couldn't wait to perform.

"Look at it." The tenth princess took a step forward, and the palace maids around her immediately gave way to the venue. She explained while demonstrating: "The back is straight, the hands are folded on the left waist, the legs are slightly bent, and when you look up, remember to smile and say, 'I've seen my sister'......"

"Sister, please, don't be polite." Ning You followed her words closely.

The tenth princess still maintained a saluting posture, staring at the girl in front of her in amazement, and suddenly reacted that she had been tricked! She got up: "Ning You, you dare to play with me!" ”

"How can I fool you, it's just to see you perform so hard and help you play against each other." Ning You smiled, she felt that her stomach, which had been empty for a long time, didn't seem to be so hungry.

Ning Lin glanced at the tenth princess who was aware of it with disdain, and raised her eyes to make a look at the palace maid behind Dong'er.

The palace maid understood, and pushed Dong'er forward hard.

Dong'er was unprepared that someone behind her would suddenly do something to her. She happened to be standing next to the lotus pond, and was pushed back by the palace maid two steps in a row, and her feet were empty.

"Ahh Dong'er screamed.

Ning You turned her head and happened to see the scene of Dong'er pouring from the edge of the pool into the water, she was very stunned, and subconsciously stretched out her hand, but only grabbed Dong'er's sleeve, and the whole person was taken forward and fell directly on the edge of the pool.

Hiss - the sleeve that was grabbed by Ning You was half torn, but it was not completely broken after all.

Dong'er hung in the air of the lotus pond, her face pale with fright.

The water in the pool is very deep and deep, and there have been many rumors in the palace about the drowning of the palace maid who fell into the water. And Dong'er, she doesn't know water.

"Somebody help me!" Ning You shouted while pulling Dong'er, trying to pull people up, but no one from the rear watching them responded to her call for help.

"Dong'er, hold my hand!" Ning You lay on the edge of the pool, his hands tightly gripping the maid's sleeves.

Dong'er was under the water at her feet, she was so frightened that she couldn't breathe, she looked up at the princess who was desperately holding her above, her eyes suddenly showed horror, and her pale face was even more frightened: "Ah, princess be careful!" ”

Ning You also felt that someone was approaching behind her, she turned her head, and heard the tenth princess Ning Hua say: "It's really a deep love between master and servant, why don't you go down to accompany her too!" ”

As soon as the word "bar" fell, Ning You felt pushed down, and as soon as his body rolled, he was about to roll down into the water.

I don't know what happened this time, some clips flashed in Ning You's mind, and before she could react, she had already grabbed the tenth princess who pushed her with one free hand.

It happened so fast that the other people on the shore had not yet reacted, and the sound of "poof-" falling into the water had already sounded one after another.

"Ah, princess!" When the people on the shore saw the two princesses fall into the water at the same time, they panicked for a while.

"What's the hurry!" The eleventh princess, Ning Lin, looked coldly at the three people struggling underwater, and shouted softly: "Call the people who know how to go down to save people, and at the same time send someone to inform the queen mother." ”

"Yes, yes." The flustered palace maid immediately had a direction and hurriedly took action.

Ning Lin stood on the shore and watched the struggling three people gradually sink into the water, their bodies blocked by lotus flowers, and they could no longer be found. A smile appeared on her lips, faintly, with the taste of a victor.

In the water, Ning You pulled the broken sleeve in one hand, Dong'er didn't know where she sank, and the other tightly grabbed the tenth princess, letting her struggle, but she didn't let go.

If I die here, at least this person will be buried with me! Ning You's heart suddenly flashed this sentence. In a daze, she saw someone swimming towards her, and the light in the water was blocked by lotus leaves.

Between the water and light, the surroundings seemed to have changed scenes, and someone whispered in her ear, and the voice was so familiar: "Yaoyao, don't look back, keep moving forward." ”

Ning You wanted to ask who she was, but as soon as her bloodless lips opened, she couldn't stop coughing.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Hello? Are you awake? ”

A handsome face appeared above her line of sight. The facial features seem to be carefully carved with beautiful jade, very good-looking, but too young, it seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it looks vaguely familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

He was soaking wet, and the hem of his clothes and the black hair dangling from his forehead were dripping with water. Wait a minute...... Ning You felt that something was wrong. Her gaze moved downward, she was startled, her face turned red, and she raised her foot and kicked the person out of her body

The girl's beautiful face was extremely pale, the fine black hair was clinging to the side of her face, the water droplets spontaneously flowed, and the bloodless lips trembled slightly, as if to say something. Ye Che looked curiously at the person who was rescued by him, judging from her clothes, she didn't look like a palace maid. He pressed his palm against the other's chest, and the internal force crossed into the girl's body from the palm of his hand.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The soaking wet girl coughed out of the pool water and slowly opened her eyes. The eyes are full of water, looking pitiful, and it is heartwarming.

Well, these eyes are pretty good. Ye Che thought.

"Hello? Are you awake? ”

Somehow, the girl on the ground turned red and kicked it violently.

Ye Che didn't expect the girl's movements at all, and when he reacted, he had already received a kick in the stomach. This kick was strong enough to kick him away.

Lecher! The word flashed through Ning You's mind, and he sat up from the ground with a red face. Seeing that the other party was soaking wet, there were still droplets of water dripping on the hem and hair, not very tall, and he seemed to be the same age as himself, although he was green, but his little face was extremely delicate - handsome and even a little feminine.

Ye Che rubbed his stomach, which was kicked and hurt, stared angrily at the girl who was half-sitting on the ground, and strode over: "Okay, you little girl, this son saved you, you dare to take revenge!" ”
