Chapter 11 The lotus pond falls into the water
"Presumptuous, what a slut, she is your future second sister-in-law, don't be unreasonable.
"What, second brother, you're crazy, I heard you right, haven't you already broken off the engagement with her, I'm your own sister, how can you protect her.?"
After speaking, he turned his head to Nangong Nianxi and said: "The slut knows how to hook up with three and four, pestering the second brother without saying anything, and turning that fool around, you still hook up with Brother Qin, see how the palace cleans you up." ”
After finishing speaking, he wanted to slap Nangong Nianxi, Nangong Nianxi would not wait obediently to be beaten, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and as soon as the two of them pulled, they approached the lotus pond. Ziling saw that Nangong Nianxi was a lotus pond behind her, and suddenly pushed her forward and wanted to push her down.
Nangong Nianxi didn't pay attention to his body and fell backwards and said, "Push me down, don't you want to stay on it safely." In an instant, he grabbed the princess's sleeve and listened to the "plop... Plop...", the two of them fell into the lotus pond one after the other.
The lotus pond was very deep and the bottom was full of silt, and the princess only reacted after falling down, panicked and climbed up desperately, shouting: "Help~Help~." "I opened my mouth and drank a lot of sewage.
Nangong Nianxi could swim in the past, but after falling into the lotus pond, she heard the princess shouting, and guessed that she couldn't water. Hold her breath and sink into the water, grab the princess's ankles and drag him to the bottom of the water, who let her push herself into the water so ruthlessly, let her drink a few more sips of sludge water, teach her a lesson, let her stay in the cold water longer.
Ming Haoduan on the shore didn't expect Ziling to suddenly make a black hand, intending to push Nangong Nianxi into the water. After they fell into the water at the same time, they hurriedly took off their coats and jumped into the lotus pond.
The guards from afar also quickly ran and jumped into the water to rescue the two of them. The princess drank a lot of water and was already unconscious, and Nangong Nianxi also pretended to be unconscious and slowly opened her eyes.
Ming Haoduan put his coat on Nangong Nianxi's body, her whole body was soaked, her exquisite curves were exposed in front of everyone, there were many people and guards. Ming Haoduan was also dripping with water all over his body at this time. The emperor, queen and officials in the main hall all rushed to the palace.
The queen ordered to bring clothes to the three of them immediately, and Princess Ziling gradually sobered up at this time, and when she saw everyone gathering, she didn't speak.
Seeing that she was sober, the queen asked anxiously: "What's the matter with Ling'er, why did she fall into the lotus pond with Miss Nangong." ”
"Queen Mother, it's all her, she caused me to fall." The wicked sued first, and at this time they pretended to be aggrieved and wiped their tears.
The queen mother turned around, her eyes were not as gentle as before, and she became stern After all, she watched her daughter cry and complained, so she preconceived that she was pushed down by Nangong Nianxi.
"Miss Nangong, why did you push the princess to fall off the lotus pond." The queen asked coldly.
Nangong Nianxi said in his heart: "Okay, you princess Ziling, the wicked will sue first, you will pretend to be pitiful, and I will too." So he blessed his body and bowed. (There are so many ancient rituals, and you can salute at every turn.) )
"Back to the queen's mother, how dare the courtiers push the princess, it was the princess who misunderstood the courtiers and the princess, the courtiers came out to breathe, and when they stood for a long time and were about to fall, it happened that the princess passed by and helped the courtiers. happened to be seen by the princess, the courtier was tired and wanted to go back to the hall to rest, the princess pulled the courtier to reason, and fell down at the same time without standing firm and pulling. Duan Wang Ye has always been there and can testify for his courtiers. After speaking, there were tears in his eyes, pretending to be weak.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Princess Ziling was unreasonable and willful, and it was strange that she would reason with her, she must have bullied Miss Nangong.
Ming Haoduan thought about it, and the fact was Ziling's fault, but now he came to frame Nangong Nianxi, okay, if I prove it for her, she will also remember my goodness and forgive me.
So he said: Father, mother, it's not Xi'er's fault, Ziling and Liu Qianqian are sisters, seeing me and Xi'er together, I'm also afraid that I will let down her good sister, it's just a misunderstanding, everyone is not wrong, right! Sister Ziling......"
The last four words bite particularly heavily. Look at your sister. It means that this is the past, otherwise I will tell the truth of the matter.
Ziling gathered her clothes, watched her brother help outsiders, and took care of her own losses, and said unconvinced: "Then you are still dragging me desperately when you get to the bottom of the water, trying to drown me, you did it on purpose." ”
"The courtiers don't dare, the courtiers are also in a hurry to catch them indiscriminately, the courtiers are timid and everyone knows it, that is the natural reaction of the courtiers' desire to survive." After speaking, he lowered his head and couldn't see her expression clearly.
Ziling was also skeptical, and she didn't know if what she said was true or not.
The queen also understood, she still has some understanding of what her daughter looks like, no matter what the reason is, it must be that she is unreasonable and implicates Nangong Nianxi, or not, the big thing is small.
At this time, Nangong Wen took his four daughters to kneel down and said: "The minister has no way to teach the daughter, so she offended the princess, but the minister's daughter is timid and will not deliberately harm the princess, it is all a misunderstanding, ask the emperor and the queen to be gracious." ”
The queen said in her heart: "It seems that Nangong Nianxi also has a certain status in the old fox's heart, and then look at Nangong Qingsoft and she is really a heaven and an underground, looking at her son looking at Nangong Nianxi with dementia, hating in his heart, not fighting for things, the fat to his mouth flew like this, and he originally wanted to make a big thing small, since the old fox gave the steps, let's go down, otherwise my daughter may not know when to make trouble." ”
"Since there is a misunderstanding, forget it, maybe Princess Ziling is not awake yet, just take it back to recuperate and recuperate." The queen's tone softened.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's okay to deal with it like this?" The queen asked in a solicitative tone.
The emperor nodded slightly, and said, "It's good that you are in charge of the affairs of the harem." ”
"The old minister thanks the emperor and the queen for her grace. Nangong Wen led the four daughters to kowtow and thanked him, and then slowly stood aside.
Nangong Qingrou and Nangong Jiaojiao hated it so much, sluts made trouble everywhere, and the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion made her lose all her alone, and she had to intercede for her. If it weren't for the fact that hurting the emperor's relatives was a felony and would have affected the Prime Minister's Mansion, their sisters would not have done such a reluctant thing.
After the matter was settled, the princess and the prince went back to change their clothes and left. The banquet also came to an end, the emperor and queen and the concubines all left early, and the ministers also left one after another.
Nangong Jiaojiao said angrily: "Eldest sister, you really raised your face for our Prime Minister's Mansion today, and if you make such a fuss, we will collectively intercede for you." Tomorrow, the entire capital will know that you have been divorced by Lord Duan, how will the eldest sister go out to meet people in the future. ”
"Is the fifth sister finished? Isn't it what you expected me to be divorced today? Collectively intercede for me, do I beg you, it sounds good, that's why you are afraid that the queen will blame you. ”
"Don't mention the divorce, how could you push the princess into the lotus pond, if there is no proof of this matter, will you affect our Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Fifth sister, it seems that you are not qualified to ask about this matter, the queen mother will not pursue it, in what capacity are you questioning me. Even if you don't intercede for me, I will be safe. ”
"She is not qualified to ask you, I have, I am the side princess who was personally decreed by the emperor to marry." Nangong Qing was angry but took the words.
"Second sister, you are not qualified, the side princess is not fake, that is also after the New Year, and now you are still my sister of Nangong Nianxi before you get married, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are not qualified to teach me a lesson."
Nangong Jiaojiao and Nangong Qingrou were dumbfounded by Nangong Nianxi's words, and the identity of the concubine was an eternal pain in the hearts of the two.
