Chapter 11: Overboard
"Niangniang, slow down, let Xiao Qi hold you." Xiao Qi hurriedly helped her lift the hem of her skirt, and held her arm with the other hand.
I couldn't help muttering in my heart: Miss seems to be in a much better mood now, but she can't run away with joy regardless of her manners, if you let the people in the house chew the root of your tongue, what if it reaches the ears of the prince?
Isn't the young lady planning for her future life in the palace? Thinking of this, Xiao Qi couldn't help but worry.
"Xiao Qi, I don't need your support, and it's not like I can't walk." She looked at Xiao Qiyan and smiled, a smart gaze flashed in her dark eyes, looking at it now, where is the gentleness of a young woman?
Exuding the liveliness and innocence of a girl, standing on the wooden bridge, the beauty of the lotus pond is compared.
Although she is grateful to Xiao Qi for thinking about her everywhere, she is used to living an unrestrained life, and she is really not used to being served all the time, just like now, what she wants to do most is to run to the water pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond and roar loudly a few times, so that the breeze with lotus fragrance happily shuttles through her throat, and that refreshing feeling is incomparable to being drunk.
There was a loud "poof", and I felt that the water in the lotus pond suddenly splashed on my body, and it was suddenly cold.
What's going on? Gu Yue suddenly shuddered, looked over, and found that she didn't know who threw a big stone into the lotus pond, the wooden bridge was not high, and the splash of water poured her heart cold.
"Who is so bold as to dare to play with the princess?" Before Gu Yue could speak, Xiao Qi was already snorting, and when she looked in the direction where the stone was thrown, she was stunned.
It turned out that at the end of the wooden bridge stood a young man dressed in cloud-white brocade. Behind the young man, a layer of golden sunlight sprinkled down, making the young man show a brilliant circle of light around him, reflecting the quaint style of the wooden bridge, giving him a kind of unconventional style that does not eat the fireworks of the world.
The eyebrows are like swords, the eyes are like stars, the thin lips are lightly pursed, ruddy and shiny, and the cheeks are also covered with a layer of light sunlight, making the just right facial features more vivid and clear.
"The Prince...... Good ......" Hanxue and Pothos immediately knelt down and saluted.
Xiao Qi immediately realized that his words and deeds just now were too reckless, why didn't he make people clear and then scold? It's good now, I offended the prince, and knelt down and saluted uneasily, "Son, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you......"
Helian Li walked over with a faint sneer on his lips, his eyes didn't sweep Xiao Qi who was kneeling on the ground at all, but looked at Gu Yue with a hint of contempt, "You can't even discipline a slave and maid well, how can you be qualified to be a housewife?" ”
Last night, Gu Yue already knew that she and this "son" Liang Zi were married, and no matter how she tried to be a good wife and mother, she would not change his opinion of herself in a short time.
Looking at his provocative gaze, Gu Yue also smiled coldly, and said crisply: "I just got married, what's so strange about not being a housewife?" It's just a matter of learning more in the future, but what about you, the son? I have lived in the palace since I was a child, so I should know what to do and what not to do, right? I want to ask, Shizi, did you deliberately splash water on my body, is it the behavior of a Shizi? So, now I doubt that you have the qualifications to be the son of the world. ”
If it weren't for his father suddenly coming to the new house yesterday, he felt that he would have played enough of the "stepmother" in front of him, so this stepmother was a stupid pig in her eyes, and he could have put on a high posture in front of her, but he never thought that she would return to him so sharply.
Helian Li's handsome face sank, and there was already a layer of anger, "You are just a plaything that my father married, what qualifications do you have to comment on me?" Don't forget your own duty. ”
"No matter what I am, but in terms of identity and seniority, I am now your 'mother', and if you are a cultured person, you should respect me as a 'mother'." Gu Yue's eyes were raised, and he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
And she also deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "mother" to remind him......
Helian Li's face became even more ugly, his starry eyes sank, his long sleeves turned his back angrily, and he said angrily: "You are not much older than me, where are you qualified to be the mother of this son?" You don't deserve to lift shoes for my mother. ”
Obviously, Gu Yue's identity as a "mother" stabbed him in the sore spot, and at this moment, the burning anger could already be seen in the starry eyes.
Xiao Qi, who was kneeling on the side, heard Gu Yue and Helian Li competing against each other, and secretly said How should this be? The prince is the most powerful person in the palace except for the prince, even if the young lady is unwilling to deal with him, she should avoid it, how can she not show weakness like this.
The prince will inherit the palace in the future, and if he offends the prince, won't he be unable to live with his own future?
"Miss ......" Although he was kneeling, Xiao Qi couldn't help but secretly tug the corner of Gu Yue's skirt and called softly.
Only then did Gu Yue remember that Xiao Qi had been kneeling. What is Xiao Qi's crime?
"Xiao Qi, you get up for me, and Hanxue, and pothos, you also get up, you are my people, you should only listen to me alone." After speaking, a breeze blew, and I couldn't help but shiver.
The breeze that made people feel relaxed just now turned into a cold wind, and now the weather is already early autumn, and the taste of being soaked is not so pleasant.
"Sneeze ......" a sneeze came as scheduled.
Xiao Qi was hesitating whether to get up at this time, and when she heard Gu Yue sneezing, she remembered that her clothes were already soaked, if she blew the wind by the lotus pond again, how could her body stand it?
She didn't care about anything, immediately got up, and said nervously: "Niangniang, the slave will accompany Niangniang back to the room to change clothes, in case of cold, it will be troublesome......"
Han Xue and Lu Pothos saw that Xiao Qi had already gotten up, and they also got up, but they didn't dare to look at Helian Li's cold and angry eyes with their eyes, because they all knew that in the mansion, no one dared to provoke this prince, but now the master had broken ground on Tai Sui's head.
"Well, I don't want to catch myself a cold for a boring person." Gu Yue nodded, and the afterglow at the end of his eyes glanced at He Lianli.
He looks domineering, but his words and deeds are childish and ridiculous, he is at best a poor creature who defends his mother, and when he conflicts with people like him, he seems to have no style.
According to Gu Yue's memory, her father Gu Yiran once told her that Helian Yu's wife did not die, but was divorced by him and driven out of the palace, and now lives in Ciyun Temple, eating fasting and worshipping Buddha every day.
Why Helian Yu divorced his wife, she didn't care at all, anyway, in this kind of deep palace compound, there must be a lot of dirty things hidden, whether Helian Yu likes the new and hates the old, or the original princess is immoral, she doesn't care about her, she is just staying here now as a monk hitting the clock for a day, and she will escape with those precious jewelry when she has the opportunity......
"If you want to leave, it's not so easy to ......" Helian Li was already an angry lion at this time, and he couldn't easily let anyone who despised him.
With his right hand, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Yue's arm tightly, and then shook it hard......
With a "bang", Xiao Qi could Gu Yue was thrown into the lotus pond by Helian Li like a paper man.
"Niangniang......" The three of them panicked, and shouted on the shore one after another: "Someone is coming, come and save Niangniang, Niangniang has fallen into the water......"
Liuliyuan is specially prepared for the princess, for the convenience of the princess, the whole courtyard is almost all maidservants, and the little maids in the house will only come over at a fixed time to help do some heavy work, so even if they call for help now, they can't soon have a watery little girl come to save people......
Xiao Qi saw Gu Yue's hands fluttering on the surface of the water a few times, and then immediately sank......
Only a few strands of hair remained on the surface of the water......
If this continues, the young lady will definitely die.
Xiao Qi immediately turned around and knelt down heavily towards Helian Li, who was sneering on his face, "Shizi, will you save Niangniang?" Niang Niang doesn't know how to be watery, and if she doesn't save it, it's too late. ”
There was no trace of emotion on Helian Li's handsome cheeks, and his cold eyes shrank tightly, "This is all self-inflicted, what is her identity?" How dare you compare it with my mother? ”
