Chapter 62: The palace banquet falls into the water
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Xin Yi, you're too good."
"Xin Yi, you are the big hero in my mind."
"Xin Yi, you're so funny, I like you. I want to marry you with Jinlan. ”
At the banquet, Princess Yu'an drank a few glasses of wine, and pulled Xin Yi and didn't let go.
Xin Yi really couldn't digest this enthusiasm in her face, she didn't want to rebel and become sisters with a princess, so she coaxed in her heart:
"Actually, the princess is also very cute, and the concubine also likes the princess. Even if you don't worship, as long as the princess needs it, the concubine is willing to be by your side at any time. ”
Because today is Princess Yu'an's birthday, Emperor Wen Zhao deliberately gave up the Huxin Pavilion to give her a banquet, and he took the civil and military officials to sit in the pavilion near the lake, drinking and listening to their poems against each other.
The bold words of Princess Yu'an on the side of Huxin Pavilion were naturally not heard by Emperor Wen Zhao, but Gu Ying and the others on the side were stunned.
"What's the situation? Aren't outsiders all saying that Princess Yu'an likes big brother? Why is she still fighting with Xin Yi? If you open your mouth and close your mouth, you still have to bow to others? ”
Gu Ying sat on the left side of Princess Yu'an, her eyes widened as if she were hell,
"What kind of ability does this Xin Yi have, the surname Xie doesn't dare to mess with her, just forget it, in the blink of an eye, Princess Yu'an has also been subdued by her? Could it be that she really couldn't do any spells? After all, she can sit in this position, and the princess still talks outside of her words, as if she gave it to her for the sake of Xin Yi's face.
In fact, Princess Yu'an's attitude is jealous of Xin Yi, not to mention Gu Ying, Xie Yanan and the girl in the yellow dress opposite have long been so angry that their faces are pale. After all, every time the princess had a birthday banquet in the past, it was always the two of them who sat next to the princess.
This surnamed Xin, not to mention robbing his husband, but also robbing the princess of his favor, you wait, this girl will not let you have a good time. Xie Yanan gritted his back molars and swore secretly in his heart.
Halfway through the banquet, Princess Yu'an was almost drunk. In order to coax Xin Yi to bow to herself, she enthusiastically introduced Xin Yi to every dish.
"Xin Yi, this dish is called Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Stage, it is the specialty dish of the imperial dining room, it is very delicious, you can try it."
Xin Yi looked at it, it was actually a scrambled egg with spinach. The green spinach looks good on top, but is it really as delicious as she says?
What's more, every dish comes up, Xiao Yu'an coaxes her to eat, and her stomach can't hold it for a long time.
But after all, she is a princess, and she still has to give face, Xin Yi hesitated and was just about to move the chopsticks, when she saw the girl in the yellow dress opposite, she stretched out her chopsticks provocatively.
Her name is Lin Ziyu, and she is the cousin and niece of Princess Yu'an's biological mother, Concubine Lin. Princess Yu'an didn't play before, so they all pulled her and Xie Yanan together. It's good today, just because of this Xin Yi, she doesn't even have the qualifications to sit next to the princess's cousin.
Princess Yu'an forgot about it after drinking too much, Lin Ziyu saw the opportunity, and saw that she had almost drunk it, so she took the initiative to provoke Xin Yi again. She was so focused on competing with Xin Yi that she didn't take a closer look at what she was holding with her chopsticks.
Until the screams around came, Lin Ziyu looked over curiously. Only then did she find out that there was a small green snake wrapped around her slender silver chopsticks.
I saw that the little snake held its head high, spit out red snake letters, looked at her with its teeth and claws, and swayed its body from time to time, as if it was about to pounce on her at any moment.
"Ahh Lin Ziyu screamed miserably, and subconsciously threw the chopsticks towards the opposite side.
Impartially, the snake flew straight towards Gu Ying.
Gu Ying was also frightened when she saw this, and before the snake arrived, she bounced up first, and rammed to the side regardless of it.
Xiao Yu'an was on Gu Ying's right, she would be drunk, and she didn't know what was happening in front of her. It was Xin Yi who pulled her up first when she saw the little snake, for fear that Lin Ziyu on the opposite side would throw the snake to this side.
As she expected, Lin Ziyu really threw the snake over, and Xin Yi subconsciously wanted to stop it. The bamboo leaf green, which was only not poisonous, was thrown into the water, and the crisis was lifted.
What Xin Yi didn't expect was that at the moment when she reached out to catch the little snake, Xiao Yu'an next to her was inadvertently bumped into by Gu Ying, staggered back a few steps, and crashed into the guardrail.
And the railing broke with a crisp "click" at the moment when Xiao Yu'an fell over.
Xiao Yu'an stood unsteadily, screamed and fell backwards, and was about to fall into the water.
"Princess, be careful!" said that it was too late, and at the critical moment, Xin Yi heard the movement, threw the snake and pounced, and grabbed Xiao Yu'an's waist belt.
The little snake behind him returned to the crowd, and there was another hysterical scream, like a pot of porridge, Xin Yi's hand was slightly forced, and with a slight flick, Xiao Yu'an returned not far away, and when he heard the movement, he flew towards the lotus heart who was rushing here.
The noble princess fell from the sky, and Lianxin was naturally quick-eyed, so she quickly reached out and hugged her.
Lianxin hugged the frightened princess, but she was afraid for a while. Why did the young lady really say it, this is a good birthday banquet, and the princess really almost fell into the water.
Fortunately, everything is in danger.
Xin Yi, who had just saved someone by the lake, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and rescued Xiao Yu'an in time. Thinking that he was the one he saved in this life, Xiao Yu'an can always get rid of the tragic fate of his previous life.
Thinking of this, she turned around, and was just about to walk towards Xiao Yu'an, who had turned the corner, when she felt that something hit her knee. Immediately after that, her legs were numb, her body was crooked, and she fell into the lake.
"Miss......"
"Xin Yi ......"
The moment she fell into the water, Xin Yi heard the shouts of Lianxin and Xiao Yu'an behind her.

In the lakeside gazebo,
Although Xin Hengren was sitting at the banquet, his heart had already flown away.
Today, the emperor summoned them into the palace, a martial arts fight, a literary fight, and his thoughts are self-evident, he just wants to choose a horse for Princess Yu'an. A woman who covets her brother-in-law, Xin Heng doesn't have a good impression of Princess Na Yu'an in her heart, so she is naturally extremely perfunctory about today's errand.
He was born in a family of generals, not to mention that he shot the penultimate in archery, not to mention, as a civil official, he couldn't even make a poem for such a long time, and at this moment, even Emperor Wen Zhao shook his head at him.
Xin Heng didn't care about these at all. I don't know why, he was inexplicably flustered. I always feel that Princess Yu'an is holding this birthday banquet to be unfavorable to her sister. Even, if he wasn't worried about his sister's safety, he would have wanted to be like his cousin and them, pretending to leave with his feet.
Just when Xin Heng's heart was going up and down, suddenly, there were bursts of screams from the Huxin Pavilion.
Immediately after, there was the sound of someone throwing into the water.
Especially Miss Lianxin's voice, Xin Heng heard it very clearly.
"It's not good, it's my sister who fell into the water."
Xin Heng didn't have time to think about it, he rushed over in three or two steps, and jumped into the lake.
My sister was particularly afraid of water when she was a child, and Xin Heng knew it early on.
So over the years, although he has not paid much attention to martial arts, he has practiced very well in water, and the reason is that because his sister is afraid of water, he, as an elder brother, wants to protect her at all times.
Not far away, seeing Xin Yi's pale face and sinking to the bottom of the water without any struggle, Xin Heng's heart also sank to the bottom.
He riveted his strength, used his hands and feet together, paddled desperately, seeing that his sister was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and he was about to come to him, suddenly, a black figure burst out of the oblique thorn, and took Xin Yi in the water into his arms.
