Chapter 33: Overboard
After leaving Anshou Palace, I did not go back to Yaoguang Hall directly, but after wandering around the palace for a while, I found a pavilion and sat down.
Staring at the lake, my mind is full of the voice of the Queen Mother, do I want to go to Li Yu?
"Yo, isn't this the second lady of the Zhou Mansion? I heard that the queen mother had a miscarriage, why don't you take care of your sister in Yaoguang Palace at this time, why do you come to my palace? "Just as my mind was in the mud, a familiar voice came from above me. It's really a narrow road, I didn't expect to bump into this Princess Wenlin so casually.
"It turned out to be Princess Wenlin, it seems that this is the Jiaofang Palace? I said why the air is not very good, a smell of puppy blood, I wonder if Princess Wenlin still remembers Bai Xue? I got up and said defiantly to Princess Wenlin word by word.
"Okay, you dare to say that the air in our pepper room is not good." When I talked about Bai Xue, Princess Wenlin's face could no longer be hung up, and she was angry for a while and wanted to make a move on me, but fortunately the maid next to her grabbed her.
I sighed and shook my head, with this character, if it weren't for the lady concubine being favored in the palace, I'm afraid I would have died a few times.
"Yes, I'm talking about Jiaofang Palace, are you going to beat me? Don't forget, I'm the queen's sister, and I'm afraid the princess has forgotten about being locked up in the first place? "I happened to be angry today, and someone happened to bump into me, how could I let go of this great opportunity to quarrel.
"Hmph, my mother is right, you and your sister are sluts?" Xu thought of the lesson from last time, and for a while, Princess Wenlin controlled the urge to hit me, and just stared at me viciously and said.
"Slut? That's how Concubine Shuniang and Princess Wen Lin talk about the queen on weekdays? ”
"Yes and what."
"I don't know what will happen, so please tell the princess what will happen if the emperor and the queen mother know about it." I pointed to the little maid next to Wen Lin and said sharply.
"Second Miss, don't take it seriously, our princess is young, and she will say such rebellious words when she is confused for a while, and the slave maid will accompany the second miss for the princess. Please don't talk about it. After hearing my words, the maid standing next to Princess Wenlin suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to me to plead. Unexpectedly, Princess Wenlin's head was not as good as a slave.
"Get up for me, don't kneel down to this wicked woman." Seeing her maid kneeling down for me, Princess Wenlin desperately wanted to pull her up, but unfortunately she was too young to do anything.
"That's it, the princess is still young, so I naturally don't care, but I still want to remind you, one is prosperous and one is lost, remember to tell Concubine Shuniang when you go back, let her discipline her daughter well, so as not to cause trouble to your Jiaofang Palace."
"Yes, the slave and the second Miss Xie reminded."
"Get up."
"Yes."
After such a fuss, the sky is about to get dark, and if I don't go back, I shouldn't worry about it, I didn't continue to pay attention to Princess Wenlin's entanglement, and went out of the pavilion to leave, but I never thought that I still looked down on Princess Wenlin's heart.
There is a small bridge on both sides of the pavilion, and on both sides of the bridge are ponds, which is an extremely common scenery in the palace, but this lady actually removed the fences on both sides in order to preserve the beauty of the garden.
"I really don't know what Concubine Shu thinks, I don't want to set up a fence in such a dangerous place, I can kill people with a casual push! Ah......h
"No one is allowed to save her." At the moment when I fell into the water, Princess Wenlin's voice also came from the bridge.
It seems that she is the one who pushed me down, I didn't expect this Princess Wenlin to be so narrow-minded, and she blamed me for being careless. Although the guards in this courtyard also heard the sound, but because of Princess Wenlin, no one dared to save me for a while.
In that case, I can only fight it myself.
"Help, help......" While I still had strength, I quickly shouted for help.
"Princess, this is the queen's sister, can't there be an accident in our house, hurry up and save people." "yes, yes, that's no joke." The maids and guards on the shore looked at me anxiously and persuaded the princess.
"No, I'm going to have her die here today." I didn't expect this Princess Wenlin to be so vicious at such a young age.
After a while, I was exhausted, and it was still early spring, and the cold water of the lake soon made me feel my body gradually stiffen, and the thick cotton clothes soaked began to pull me to the bottom of the lake, am I really going to die here today?
"What are you doing?" Just as I was about to give up the struggle, a man's voice suddenly came from the shore.
"General, yes, it was the young lady who didn't let me save it......" After seeing the comer clearly, all the guards on the shore knelt down.
"Uncle, it's not me, it's her, yes, it's her own carelessness." Wen Lin stammered and argued with herself, looking quite afraid of this man.
"Nonsense." Following the direction of Wen Lin's finger, this person called the general finally saw me who was still soaked in the water, and quickly jumped off the pond and swam towards me.
General, uncle, I silently recited it in my heart, and it seems that this person is General Hu Bo, the younger brother of Concubine Shu.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare hot water for Imperial Doctor Xuan." General Hu Bo fished me out of the lake and shouted to the people on the shore.
"A pair of eyes shoot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows are like paint." Sure enough, he is a man in the army, and even his appearance is so upright.
"What did you say?" After hearing me mutter, Hu Bo suddenly lowered his head and asked me. I was originally held in his arms, and I was embarrassed to freezing point for a while.
"Cold ......," I said weakly, turning my face to the side.
"Girl, don't worry, I've already asked someone to prepare hot water, now I'll take you there."
After hearing that I was cold, Hu Bo hurriedly carried me and ran to the palace.
"Is the hot water ready?"
"Alright, the general will come with me." After the maid answered Hu Bo, she hurriedly led the way to the room in the corner of the courtyard.
"Ah, what are you doing......" entered the room, and before I could react quickly, I was thrown into the bathtub by Hu Bo, this guy shouldn't be taking the opportunity to retaliate.
"I'm sorry Miss, Hu Bo grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and he only knew that Miss was in urgent need of hot water to ward off the cold, so he didn't care about those red tape, I hope Miss won't blame."
It wasn't appropriate to throw me in hot water, but he seemed to have a point.
"I don't dare to say the blame, thank you to the general for saving my life today."
"It's Wen Lin's fault, after Miss gets better in a while, I'll ask her to compensate you."
"It's okay, Princess Wenlin is still young, I won't bother with her."
"Then I'll thank Miss Wen Lin first, Miss will bathe first, and Hu Bo won't bother."
"Okay."
I really can't imagine that this Jiaofang Hall can produce such a reasonable person.
"After the young lady is warm for a while, change the water and wait for the young lady to take a bath again, and I will have someone send the clothes later." After Hu Bo explained to the palace maid who was waiting on the side, he walked straight out.
Fortunately, Hu Bo came in time, otherwise I would have been cold to death even if I didn't drown today.
