Chapter 2: Kick That White Lotus!
With a "plop", the entire lake completely shattered, and the white lotus seed in the green palace maid's costume flooded to the bottom of the lake in the blink of an eye, and even a corner of the clothes could not be seen.
"Shen Xianhe!"
Chu Xi raised his big palm angrily, and rushed in front of Shen Xianhe with an arrow step.
"What, cousin, are you going to beat me for a palace maid?"
Shen Xianhe didn't have any fear, she stood in place, quietly looking at the man in front of her.
This is Shen Xianhe's childhood sweetheart, fifteen years of years, getting along day and night, after all, he can't compete with the appearance of a strange woman.
Even, this man raised his slap, and his eyes looking at her were full of cruelty and tyranny.
In the past, Shen Xianhe's temper was arrogant to everyone, but only his cousin was an exception.
As long as Chu Xi is a little unhappy and a little dissatisfied with her, she can make compromises and let Chu Xi lead her nose.
However, this time, Shen Xianhe's body did not move, she raised her head and looked at Chu Xi stubbornly, her eyes were resolute.
Didn't Chu Xi think that Bai Lianrong was his true love, she wanted to see what Chu Xi could do for Bai Lianrong, and how much was this true love worth!
"You-"
The breath in Chu Xi's chest was originally extremely angry, and the whole person couldn't even control his desire to make a move on Shen Xianhe's cousin.
Even, he thought like before, as long as he was angry, Shen Xianhe would definitely honestly admit his mistakes to him, and then collect precious calligraphy and paintings everywhere to please him.
He had long been disgusted with this kind of reincarnation, and he had long been fed up with Shen Xianhe's stupidity and pampering.
However, this was the second time he had seen Shen Xianhe's eyes so resolute, and those clear eyes clearly made up his mind.
This picture is as if when he was fifteen years old, ten-year-old Shen Xianhe stood in front of his father, so firm and resolute to protect him, and told his father that she would marry him and be his wife in this life!
At that time, Shen Xianhe's eyes were as decisive as now, and the tyrannical aura in Chu Xi's heart seemed to have suddenly dissipated, and he always felt as if he had lost something!
But as soon as Bai Lianrong's cry for help came from his ears, Chu Xi's whole face became gloomy.
He withdrew his raised slap, his voice as disgusted and disdainful as ever!
"Shen Xianhe, I'm really disappointed in you, do you think that with your shrewd style, will anyone agree to you being the queen of the Daqing Dynasty?"
As he spoke, Chu Xi turned his head, then rushed to the side of the lotus lake, and anxiously ordered the people around him to jump into the water to save people.
Shen Xianhe was silent, she didn't even pay attention to Wang Chunrou, who was gloating next to her, but silently turned around and walked under a big tree, and then spoke softly into the air.
"Eleven, you see an opportunity to push my cousin into the lake and give you time for a cup of tea, if you can't do it, kneel down in front of my bed at night and take the initiative to be punished!"
After speaking, Shen Xianhe turned his head and rushed to the lake, and the whole person cried loudly.
"Someone, help...... The emperor jumped into the water to save people, come and save my cousin, come and save someone! ”
This voice shouted, and the originally quiet lakeside was completely chaotic, especially after hearing that the emperor fell into the water, more and more guards and palace maids in the distance ran over.
The scene has almost become a crowded vegetable market, and no one can see who did it, and no one knows how the process happened.
It's just that after everyone gathered, Chu Xi had already fallen into the lake.
With such cold lake water, Shen Xianhe was embarrassed to let the couple suffer together.
True love has always been difficult to deal with.
After the chaotic rescue operation lasted for half an hour, Shen Xianhe had already made a mess of his clothes and hair.
She sat on the kang in Shoukang Palace, looking pitifully crying.
"Grandmother, don't you know, my cousin is so obsessed with his mind that he doesn't care about his own safety at all, and jumps into the lake to save people with one arrow step, I can't stop it!"
The founding queen of the Daqing Dynasty, the current empress dowager, looked at her pale granddaughter with a distressed face, and there was endless love and pity in her voice.
"My poor Xianhe, this group of palace maids is really getting more and more lawless, I see that the palace punishment department is a group of people who eat white rice, and even the palace people can't manage it! Come, bring that palace maid up, I want to see what this cheap maid looks like! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Lianrong was thrown into the hall of Shoukang Palace by several attendants with her arms.
Her face was pale at the moment, and her whole body was still the same green palace dress that she had just fallen into the water, and she was constantly dripping water to the ground at the moment.
Her hair was already scattered, and her head was even stained with dark dirt and yellow leaves.
It doesn't look embarrassing......
Bai Lianrong didn't expect that she would encounter such a tragic situation, she knelt on the ground, looking at Shen Xianhe wrapped in a quilt in front of her, only to feel that every look of this cheap woman was laughing at her.
She shouldn't be so humble, what about the emperor, why hasn't the emperor shown up to save her?
"You are Bai Lianrong, the woman who caused the emperor to fall into the water?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of doubt, and she was really disappointed.
I thought that what kind of beauty was the country and the city, so my grandson couldn't hold it for a while, it turned out that it was like this?
praised the delicate and upright, and the Queen Mother felt a toothache.
After all, the Empress Dowager was a well-known beauty when she was young, and in this life, except for that woman, she really can't look down on anyone's beauty.
It's just that Bai Lianrong has really refreshed her lower limit, and this kind of woman is barely neat in the eyes of the Queen Mother!
Thinking about it, the Empress Dowager looked at her granddaughter.
"Xianhe, are you sure your cousin jumped into the lake to save a woman of this posture?"
"Grandmother, it's her, she knocked me into the lake today, if it weren't for the secret guard that my mother has been putting on my body to pull me up in time, I would definitely have a fever and coma like my cousin today."
"With such an unappetizing look, Chu Xi's child actually dived into the water to save people for her, is this child blind?"
After this sigh, Shen Xianhe didn't have time to laugh, and Bai Lianrong was already so pale with humiliation.
She had been soaking in the cold lake for a long time, and she was still wearing the same clothes that were soaked from falling water, but she actually fainted.
But the Empress Dowager wanted to interrogate her, and the eunuch of the Palace Criminal Division directly poured a bucket of ice water on her, and she was forced to wake up to meet the Empress Dowager.
"The Empress Dowager, there is another hidden situation when the county lord fell into the water, at that time, someone deliberately pushed me and crashed into the county lord, this is someone deliberately plotting to kill the county lord!"
The Empress Dowager ignored the white lotus rong and looked at Shen Xianhe instead.
"Xianhe, since this palace maid has admitted to hitting you, how do you want to punish her?"
Shen Xianhe deliberately looked at Bai Lianrong, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, his face full of malice.
"My cousin said that I can't be a palace practitioner like a shrew in the market, but Bai Lianrong made a mistake after all, my grandmother handed over this palace maid to me and brought it back to the princess's mansion, I will train her well, I believe she will not dare to make such a mistake in the future."
was taken back to the princess's mansion by Shen Xianhe, isn't that just letting this woman be humiliated and tortured.
No, she must not let this happen, thinking about it, Bai Lianrong suddenly rushed to the feet of the Empress Dowager and knelt down, then raised her head and cried.
"The Empress Dowager, the slave maid is already the emperor's person, if you take it out of the palace, how can this become a system, ask the Empress Dowager to be gracious, the emperor said before, as long as you agree to give the slave and maid a position, he is willing to complete the wedding with the county lord at the end of the year."
Chu Xi should have married Shen Xianhe in accordance with the promise of the year at the beginning of this year, but since the beginning of the year, Chu Xi has been dragging it out for various reasons, causing Shen Xianhe to become a joke in the entire Daqing Dynasty.
Even the Empress Dowager actually hopes that her grandson will change her mind and marry Shen Xianhe.
However, the Empress Dowager only hesitated for a second, and when she looked at Bai Lianrong and thought, the Empress Dowager finally broke out, and she kicked away Bai Lianrong, who was kneeling under her, and her tone was very disgusted.
"Don't speak, my voice and looks, I look so unappetizing—"
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager looked at her granddaughter thoughtfully.
"Xianhe, what do you think?"
Shen Xianhe knew what his grandmother meant, in the past, Shen Xianhe, as long as Chu Xi agreed to marry her, she would indeed agree to any conditions.
However, she is no longer the humble and silly woman she used to be.
Thinking about it, she looked at the white lotus rong with a slightly smug look in her eyes, this woman probably felt pity for her in her heart, and the queen of the Daqing Dynasty actually needed to bow to her white lotus rong.
How sad!
"Grandmother, I remember that you didn't get married until you were twenty years old, I recently figured it out, I'm still young at this age, my cousin can take a few more concubines to extend the heirs, I actually want to be like you, at the age of twenty in the wedding."
The Empress Dowager looked at her granddaughter seriously, she touched Shen Xianhe's head, and then looked coldly at the white lotus paste who was kneeling on the ground.
"Pull this woman to the palace punishment department, according to the palace rules, should she be beaten dozens of boards?"
The chamberlain of the palace punishment department knelt on the ground in a calm and powerful voice.
"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, according to the palace rules, you should hit eighty boards."
"In that case, drag it out!"
It wasn't until the Empress Dowager said this sentence that Bai Lianrong seemed to finally understand her situation, and she looked at Shen Xianhe not far away in disbelief, her face was in a hurry.
Didn't Shen Xianhe always want to marry the emperor, how could she give up such a good opportunity?
And the eighty big board, no matter who it is, will die in the end.
"The Empress Dowager, the slave and maid are doing the right thing, the person who pushes the county lord into the water is really someone else, you have always been wise and decisive, the rewards and punishments are clear, the slave and the maid are really wronged, please be gracious!"
"Your Majesty, the slave is ashamed of you, and I can't repay your kindness in this life, but I hope that I will have the opportunity to repay you again in the next life!"
As she spoke, Bai Lianrong suddenly stood up with righteousness, and then crashed into the pillar of Shoukang Palace.
This posture seems to be preparing to prove his innocence with death!
