Chapter 31: The princess falls overboard
Concubine Shu secretly rolled her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor, and she couldn't help but envy Zhao Nuoqing's good luck, why was she avoided again and again?
His legs were already numb on his knees, and Zhao Nuoqing trembled and got up under the support of Jin Miao.
Seeing her master being punished, Jin Miao felt very uncomfortable, serving for only two days, the master either knelt on the palace road outside or knelt in the palace, she knew that she would become the target of the public if she slept in the palace, then she would rather her master stay in Lingyun Pavilion for the rest of her life, not known, anyway, her master has silver, and she is not afraid of not eating well and wearing no warmth.
Recalling that day, when she was excited that her master could finally show her face in front of the emperor, she couldn't wait to go back and slap her two big mouths.
I really regret not being at the beginning!
Shen Bochen glanced at Zhao Nuoqing a few times quietly, and when he saw that she was fine, he said: "I went down to court earlier today, so I wanted to come and see all the concubines, and I was relieved to see that everyone was fine!" Now that the Queen Mother's birthday has fallen, this year's summer vacation trip has been canceled, if the concubines are in the house in the scorching heat, they will go to the Internal Affairs Office to get more ice, and the extra share will be reimbursed by me! ”
Listening to the emperor's words, all the concubines were overjoyed and hurriedly got up to thank the emperor.
The state affairs were busy, the emperor said it, and asked the queen a few words about the queen mother's birthday banquet, got up and left.
Shen Bochen's words made everyone as sweet as honey, and everyone felt that the emperor felt sorry for them, and they didn't care about Zhao Nuo's day and night, and no one had the heart to embarrass her.
This matter was quietly revealed.
After the emperor left, the queen also let the rest of the concubines disperse, leaving only Concubine Yi, Concubine Jin and Zhao Nuoqing behind.
Concubine Shu was reluctant, but she had no reason to continue pestering, and when she walked to Zhao Nuoqing's side, she glared at her viciously and left angrily.
After everyone left, the queen explained some important matters about the birthday banquet of the queen mother and Concubine Jin, and instructed the two to take Zhao Nuoqing to prepare for a long time together.
The two smiled and agreed.
Zhao Nuoqing was confused, what was the use of letting her participate in these things now? Could it be the queen's means to rein in her?
Concubine Yi has always been good friends with the queen, but at this moment she doesn't know what the queen means, since she has a long insight, she just watched from the sidelines, Concubine Yi told her some chores painlessly, and let her rest.
On the contrary, Concubine Jin's eyes were full of disgust when she looked at Zhao Nuoqing, although she had never offended her, she knew why Concubine Jin hated her.
Just because outsiders say that she is better looking than her, Concubine Jin is very dissatisfied.
However, Concubine Jin was still afraid of the queen in the end, so she just didn't want to see her on her face, at most she didn't talk to her, and she didn't do anything else.
Zhao Nuoqing thought: Just if you can't see it.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was busy and busy, and a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet came as scheduled.
The sun in mid-June was even more scorching, but fortunately, the emperor responded to the concubines' internal affairs office's ice cubes to use at will, so the concubines had no complaints.
Because of the midsummer, the queen mother was somewhat impatient, so she ordered the concubines to come back in the evening after the sun set in the west mountain.
So, the sun had just set, and the sky was still glowing with purple afterglow, and Zhao Nuoqing took Jin Hecong to set off from Lingyun Pavilion.
Jin Miao was going to follow, but as soon as she went out, she had a stomach upset, Zhao Nuoqing ordered her to go quickly, and they were waiting for her on the road.
Jin Miao was very grateful when she heard this, and hurriedly ran to the direction of the toilet with her stomach in her hands.
After the sun set, there was still a little bit of daytime heat in the air, and it didn't take long for Zhao Nuoqing to sweat again.
She couldn't help but feel hot, saw a pavilion not far away, and thought that there was still some time before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so she beckoned Jin He to go over to rest.
The stone bench in the pavilion was exposed to the sun for a day, and there was still residual warmth, and the hot Zhao Nuoqing only took a light hit and immediately bounced up.
I couldn't sit still, Zhao Nuoqing couldn't help but fan the wind with a fan, like ants on a hot pot walking around in the gazebo, thinking to himself: It would be nice if he could swim in the water.
Zhao Nuo looked in the direction of Lingyun Pavilion and said, "Why hasn't Jin Miao come yet?" Jin He, you go back and take a look, if Jin Miao has a bad stomachache, find a doctor to take a look! Let her stay in the house and bring her back another day! ”
Jin He nodded, and after instructing the master to wait for her here, he left immediately.
Not long after Jin He left, there was a sudden sound of falling water "poof" from nowhere, Zhao Nuoqing was shocked, and vaguely remembered that there was a pond not far ahead, and he was driven by curiosity at the moment and walked over.
In the distance, she saw a pink figure fluttering up and down on the edge of the pond, and then the figure stopped struggling and sank into the water.
Zhao Nuoqing was about to call for help, but when he saw that there was not even a figure around, he didn't have time to react at the moment, and immediately swam towards the water.
In a short time, she swam to the man's side, and when she scooped him out of the water, she saw a little girl carved in pink.
Zhao Nuoqing was shocked, where is there such a small child in the palace, only Princess Jiamin is alone!
Just as he was thinking about it, an exclamation suddenly sounded on the shore, and the maid of the first palace screamed in surprise, "Ah! The princess has fallen overboard! ”
Then another palace maid's voice sounded.
"Who's underwater? How dare you kill the princess! I'm going to tell Concubine Jin, you show me that thief! ”
Zhao Nuoqing, who was struggling to support Princess Jiamin in the water, looked confused, what did she mean by mutilating the princess?
What's more, shouldn't the most important thing at this time be to scoop her and the princess up first?
Zhao Nuoqing looked at the little doll in his arms with a pale face, looking like he was in danger, and hurriedly shouted to the palace maid and eunuch who stayed on the shore in a daze: "I am Zhao Cairen, quickly pull us up and find the imperial doctor!" ”
The palace maid was the first to react, and she hurriedly found a bamboo pole out of nowhere, and pulled Zhao Nuoqing and the princess up with the little eunuch.
The princess's belly was already swollen, and now she had to press the water out of her stomach.
Zhao Nuoqing instructed the little eunuch to find the eunuch, while he unfastened the buckle in front of the princess's neck and began to press her stomach.
The little eunuch had already run to find the imperial doctor, and the little palace maid on the side was so frightened that her knees were already weak, and she sat on the lawn, watching Zhao Nuoqing's movements in a daze.
After pressing it for about a few minutes, Princess Jia Min finally spit out all the water in her stomach, and when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that the palace maid who had run away earlier was hurrying over with Concubine Jin, the emperor, the queen, and several other people.
When they came, they saw Zhao Nuoqing kneeling beside Princess Jia Min and pressing her abdomen, and Jia Min was still unconscious although he vomited a lot of pool water.
When Concubine Jin saw it, she immediately rushed over like crazy and pushed Zhao Nuoqing aside.
Zhao Nuoqing propped his hands back, and his delicate palms immediately hit the hard stones, rubbing his hands full of sand and blood mixed together.
Looking at the embarrassed Zhao Nuoqing, Shen Bochen frowned slightly, and his steps paused, but he still chose to go to see his daughter first.
