From the flower hall to the rose garden, you have to pass through a lotus pond, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, the rockery pavilion on the island, the trees are luxuriant, and there is a wooden corridor on the shore zigzags and turns.

There are two small boats docked on the island in the middle of the lake, which are leisurely hidden among the lotus leaves.

At this time, it is late autumn, and the lotus leaves in the pond are mottled and withered, and a branch of lotus is held high.

When Zhao Xiang'er saw the lotus pod, she became interested and wanted to pick some peeled lotus seeds to eat.

Although Han Youning also likes it, I'm afraid now is not the time to play, so she left Zhao Xiang'er and continued to move forward.

Zhao Xiang'er grumbled, "I don't look like a sister", "I'm really arrogant", "I'm cold-hearted and cold-hearted......

I went down the stone steps to untie the rope and got on the boat myself.

She turned her head and saw that Han Youning had really walked away, and shouted at her back, "Chen Youning, I can count on you!" Don't think I'll call you sister again!"

Han Youning didn't look back, raised his hand and shook it, "Whatever."

Ling'er followed Han Youning's side, a little uneasy Zhao Xiang'er, "Miss, the county lord didn't bring a maid with her, if something happens, you're afraid you will be responsible."

Han Youning stopped.

According to Mrs. Han's ruthlessness, it is really hard to say what crazy thing she will do. Framing this kind of thing, she did it very handy.

Han Youning looked back at Zhao Xiang'er, who was trying to rock the boat, clumsy and busy, the boat was shaking.

She frowned, stupid girl.

She asked Aunt Sun and Yu Niang to go back to the Rose Garden first, and she and Ling'er turned back again.

Zhao Xiang'er saw her coming back again, and shouted arrogantly on the boat, "Chen Youning, don't think that I will forgive you if you come back to accompany me, I am not so easy to coax!"

Han Youning shouted, "You think too much, I just want to drink lotus seed porridge!"

She leaned over to pluck the lotus pods on the edge of the wooden porch.

Suddenly, a scream was heard.

Han Youning looked up suddenly, there was no one on the rickety boat, and Zhao Xiang'er was fluttering and shouting in the water, obviously not knowing how to water.

Han Youning's face changed, he was really afraid of something!

She was about to stand up straight, but suddenly her knees hurt, her body lost her balance, and she threw herself into the pond.

Suzuel screamed and reached out to pull her, but unfortunately didn't catch anything.

Han Youning struggled to find the pillars of the wooden corridor in the water, but the more he struggled, the more the person sank to the bottom of the water.

She guessed that Old Madam Han would definitely arrange a backhand, either to stain her clothes or to get wet, and this lotus pond was a great opportunity to start.

She deliberately didn't wear a silk dress, just to let Mrs. Han have more small movements, and if there are more small movements, the horse's feet are naturally easy to be exposed.

She had just arranged for a clerk to wait nearby, but she never expected that Old Madam Han would be killed.

One person can't save two people.

Then she and Zhao Xiang'er are bound to die. It's a hundred times since she died, if Zhao Xiang'er died, Princess Chengjun might not spare her.

Han Youning smiled bitterly, is she smart but mistaken by smart?

In the suffocating haze, a fairy-like handsome face appeared in front of her eyes, with a warm and warm smile.

What do you want him to do, is it possible that he can save her again?

This is the Dingguo Mansion.

Suddenly, her waist was wrapped, and although she couldn't open her eyes, there was a faint scent of purple bamboo between her noses.

She was excited in her heart, wrapped her arms around him, hugged his lean waist tightly, and at the moment when he jumped out of the water, she coughed and shouted happily, "Lord Wang!"

The girl's sweet fragrance came to the surface, and Zhao Chengyuan's movements stagnated slightly.

He tapped the railing on his toes and took advantage of his strength to climb onto the waterfront pavilion on the rockery.

Han Youning was placed on the low floor in the pavilion.

She leaned over and vomited for a long time, then she relieved herself to get up and salute, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for saving me again."

Zhao Chengyuan looked at her

At a glance, he turned his back to her, and there was a hint of discomfort in his mellow voice, "Straighten up your clothes."

Han Youning lowered his head and found that his current demeanor was really embarrassed, the thin short jacket was attached to his body, the curves were exposed, a small red and gorgeous belly pocket was exposed at the waist, and the skirt was also entangled and attached to the legs.

She was busy pulling her jacket and dress.

But...... Zhao Chengyuan would be embarrassed.

In his two lives, he has always been the posture of an elder in front of her, like a majestic mountain, calm and cold, without joy or sorrow. All emotions, all things, are under his control, and there is never a time when they get out of control.

The only time she had ever seen an emotional outburst was before she died, and his roar still echoed in her mind, making her unable to understand.

She had also thought a lot, couldn't it be that his imperial uncle had thoughts about his niece and daughter-in-law that he shouldn't have? However, combined with the few interactions between the two in his previous life, as well as his performance at the time, this speculation was quickly denied.

The only reasonable explanation she came up with was that he was a qualified elder.

As she straightened her dress, she asked, "Does the county lord have anyone to save her?"

She also asked more, the Wen steward was nearby, if she didn't come to save her, she would naturally go to save Zhao Xiang'er, who fell into the water first.

Zhao Chengyuan saw that she didn't even have the shyness of a little girl, so he skipped the matter and frowned slightly.

I don't know if she doesn't understand anything because she is in love, or if she ...... With Lu Rin's seniority, he regarded him as an elder.

He looked out the window, Lu Rin was struggling to drag Zhao Xiang'er ashore, and said lightly, "Don't worry, I've been rescued."

"Oh, that's good...... The county lord has been implicated by me."

A trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Chengyuan's eyes, and his fingers were gently twisted.

Han Youning's words changed and asked strangely, "Why did the prince come to the Guogong Mansion?"

If his father Han Jun was in the house, it was somewhat possible for him to come here. There was no man of comparable status in the mansion who could entertain him, and it was inevitable that he would come to the banquet strangely.

Zhao Chengyuan's tone was light, "If you want to come, you will come."

What is the answer?

Didn't he think about how much speculation would be aroused in the court when his dignified Jin prince suddenly visited the Dingguo Mansion?

He has always been cautious and does not make friends with powerful ministers and military generals, and today's actions are really not like his style.

Han Youning asked again, "No one has seen the prince here, right?" Your martial arts are so high, you can fly to the shore from behind, right?"

She observed the terrain, and the six sides of the waterfront pavilion were covered with windows. The position behind it is relatively hidden, and it is not too far from the shore of the lotus pond, so a few tens of meters should not be anything to him, right?

Zhao Chengyuan turned his back to her, and his voice was as cool as a lake, "What, what are you afraid of?"

Han Youning's hand movements stopped, and he felt that the question he asked was very strange.

Naturally, I was afraid of being forced into a pair.

If it's the guards who save it, it's just that, after all, it's the duty. In other words, it is a foreign man, this kind of life-saving grace of falling into the water has always been promised by himself, but no one dares to say anything on his territory.

Since both parties don't care about this kind of thing, and they don't have to be held responsible for each other, should some troubles be avoided if they can be avoided?
