Chapter 13: Overboard
Zhao Wanning sat alone in the corner.
She leaned against the railing and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond.
There was no one around her to serve her, and she didn't know where the silver candle and the picture screen had gone. On weekdays, Zhao Wanning and other ladies have little to do with each other, and the ladies get together in twos and threes to talk and laugh, while she sits alone by the pond in a daze.
Zhao Chenan came here with a wine glass.
"Sister," Zhao Chenan stood in front of her: "Today I am open-mouthed, and I am also unintentional, I hope sister, you can forgive me for my unintentional mistakes." ”
"This is your favorite osmanthus brew, sister. If my sister is willing to forgive me, please drink this wine. ”
Zhao Wanning's eyes were half-closed. She had already seen Zhao Chen'an out of the corner of her eye, and she also saw her secretly putting her nails in the wine glass and stirring them.
Zhao Chen'an had long nails and dyed bright cardamom.
Now it seems that if there is something hidden under these bright red nails, it is difficult for others to see.
Zhao Wanning opened her eyes suddenly, she didn't speak, just stared straight into Zhao Chen'an's eyes.
Zhao Chen'an avoided her gaze with some fear, and she stubbornly sent the wine glass to Zhao Wanning.
The bright red nails glowed with a cold glow in the sun.
Zhao Wanning looked at her with a smile, and just when Zhao Chen'an's arm was so sore that she couldn't do it, Zhao Wanning took the wine glass with one hand, and Shi Shiran said, "Then I will forgive you." I hope my sister can learn the rules well. ”
"It's me this time, I won't pursue much for the sake of you and I being sisters, which noble person will be changed next time," Zhao Wanning glanced at her, "That's not so easy to reveal." ”
Zhao Chenan hurriedly nodded yes. She stared at Zhao Wanning and watched Zhao Wanning drink the medicated osmanthus brew with her own eyes, so she was relieved.
It was the medicinal powder that Zhang Daochang gave her, a beautiful medicine from the Western Regions, called Drunken Huayin, the medicine melted when it entered the water, colorless and tasteless, it is said that as long as you drink it, within half an hour, it will be as difficult as a fire.
may be the reason for being drunk, Zhao Wanning's figure after drinking is a little shaky. She stood up and staggered forward, but before she had taken two steps she suddenly lost her balance and plunged headlong into the pond.
Zhao Chen'an, who had been prepared for a long time, had already taken a few steps back, and was some distance away from Zhao Wanning at this moment. She stretched out her arms in a fake way, and shouted anxiously, "Sister Wanning! ”
Zhao Chenan tried his best to pretend to want to hold Zhao Wanning, but she couldn't reach her because of the distance, and her acting skills were superb, comparable to the horns on the stage.
The expected sound of falling water did not sound.
As soon as Zhao Chenan looked up, he saw a woman in red rushing forward and grabbing Zhao Wanning's shaking body.
It's Xiao Hongyi.
Zhao Chenan didn't know her. But her little sister Wu Yanran had already told her about Xiao Hongyi's deeds of standing up for Zhao Wanning today, and she would naturally beat Xiao Hongyi, who spoke for Zhao Wanning, into Zhao Wanning's faction. At this moment, Xiao Hongyi made a timely move to grab Zhao Wanning, who was about to fall into the water, and ruined Zhao Chen'an's plan.
Zhao Chen'an was angry in his heart, but his face was silent.
There happened to be a maid walking over with a pot of wine, and Zhao Chen deliberately bumped into her as if her feet were slipping. The maid was hit and fell to Zhao Wanning's side.
Zhao Wanning and Xiao Hongyi couldn't dodge and both fell into the pond.
There were two plops, and it was the sound of two people falling into the water.
Zhao Chenan hurriedly ran to the pond and shouted, "Sister, why did you fall into the water?" ”
Her cry attracted everyone's attention, and many people walked this way.
Zhao Wanning is not water-based.
Zhao Chenan thought that he could see Zhao Wanning's embarrassed appearance struggling in the water, but he didn't expect that Xiao Hongyi, who was killed halfway, had excellent water ability, and before the guards came to save people, Xiao Hongyi had already swam to the shore with Zhao Wanning.
The clothes of both of them were soaked with water, and the wet clothes were tightly attached to the body, outlining the curves of the body, which was really not suitable for visitors.
Zhao Wanning pulled Xiao Hongyi back to Invite Yue Yuan.
Zhao Chen'an looked at their slightly embarrassed figures, one red and one purple, and finally felt happy. She called Ruomeng and asked, "Are you all ready?" ”
Ruomeng looked around warily and nodded.
Zhao Chenan smiled proudly, you can't look down on a talented sinner, then you can go and make a pair with the pot-bellied sinner.
Xiao Hongyi really didn't expect that the first banquet she attended after returning to Beijing would encounter so many things.
First, she heard the guests attending the banquet gossiping about the host's family, and it was the host's guests who took the host's place, and now, one of her guests fell into the water together in order to save the host.
It was a fun day.
Zhao Wanning was actually ready to fall into the water. She had the silver candle and the picture screen stay nearby in advance, preparing to call the guards to rescue her as soon as she fell into the water.
Pretending to be drunk, she staggered to the edge of the pond, even looking at the location of the water. That place can hold the pillars of the pavilion without worrying about your life. But she didn't expect that the moment she fell into the water, she was pulled back by a woman, and she was still a double-faced.
Just as she was thinking about how to pretend to be hooked, Zhao Chen'an exerted her strength again, but this time it affected the girl who saved her. Fortunately, this girl came to the rescue, so she didn't struggle in the water for too long.
"Thank you girl for coming to the rescue." Zhao Wanning said: "I don't know which girl you are?" ”
"This girl will not change her name, she will not change her surname, Xiao Hongyi is also."
"It turned out to be the daughter of General Xiao, and sure enough, it was a tiger father and a dogless daughter. Wan Ning thanked Miss Xiao for her help, and she was really sorry for causing Miss Xiao to be affected. ”
Xiao Hongyi smiled heartily: "Just call me Hongyi." You look younger than me, if you don't dislike it, it's good to call me sister. ”
Zhao Wanning is happy, this Xiao Hongyi is also a temperamental. She smiled and said, "No." ”
Xiao Hongyi was stunned, and then thought that Zhao Wanning was the daughter of the eldest princess after all, and she was the lord of Qinghe in the current dynasty, and her status was noble. It's understandable to look down on a vulgar person like her. It's just that I feel a little unhappy in my heart, and it turns out that I will look away.
Zhao Wanning saw that her mood became depressed, and quickly explained: "It's because I don't want to call you sister, Hongyi, I'm older than you." ”
"You have to call me sister."
Xiao Hongyi was not angry when he saw that he was put on the table, but called "sister" happily.
The two chicken-like people in the soup supported each other and returned to the Invitation Moon Garden.
The secret guard of the eldest princess has already transferred the drunk Wang Fengyang away.
As soon as Zhao Wanning heard that the secret guard of the eldest princess saw Zhao Chen'an's maid Ruomeng leading someone to bring the drunken Wang Fengyang to Invite Moon Garden, she guessed what she wanted to do.
She originally thought that Zhao Chen'an had finally won the love of the eldest princess because her parents had died since she was a child and lacked love, and wanted to occupy the eldest princess and replace Zhao Wanning's position in the eldest princess's heart, so she targeted her, the eldest princess's biological daughter, everywhere. The youngest daughter's family is just competing for favor, and it doesn't hurt. didn't expect Zhao Chen'an to want to calculate her and ruin her innocence.
This world is extremely harsh on women, if she loses her innocence for no reason, there are only two ways to wait for Zhao Wanning, one is to marry this person who is bad for her innocence, and the other is to be sent to the temple, and from then on with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
She didn't know that Zhao Chen'an's mind was so vicious.
Fortunately, there are people from the eldest princess who secretly help her, otherwise she might really have to go to the house.
Zhao Wanning took Xiao Hongyi back to Invite Yue Yuan. Xiao Hongyi is taller than Zhao Wanning, and her body is stronger, Zhao Wanning's clothes are shorter on her, and she looks a little cramped.
Zhao Wanning smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry sister, I will cause you to fall into the water with me." ”
Xiao Hongyi smiled heartily: "What is this?" Good sisters, share blessings and difficulties. ”
She continued: "I just returned to the capital from the border pass. I don't know any of these noble girls. Of course, they also thought I was rude. But I think you're very good, and since I call you sister, I hope we can communicate often in the future. ”
"I don't know how to play chess, calligraphy and painting, but I can teach you to ride a horse and shoot arrows. If you don't dislike it, I can also teach you some fist and foot kung fu. You look too thin, if you learn some fist and foot kung fu, you can also strengthen your body, and you can protect yourself at critical moments. ”
"That's great." Zhao Wanning said happily: "I was still thinking about where to find a teacher who could teach me kung fu a few days ago, but I met you before I thought about it." We're really destined. ”
"As for these noble girls, don't worry too much, they don't look down on me. Although I grew up in the capital, I was also excluded by them, and you have probably heard of the unfortunate deeds of the county lord of Qinghe. I am naturally very happy that you don't dislike me and are willing to be sisters with me. ”
The silver candles and picture screens serving on the side are also happy in their hearts for their own friends for the county lord.
Flower Hall.
A maid suddenly ran over and rushed to the eldest princess.
"See the eldest princess, the slave maid just saw the county lord......"
The maid stopped talking.
Hearing the word county lord, the eldest princess thought that something had happened to Zhao Wanning. She already knew about Zhao Wanning's falling into the water, and she also sent someone to invite a female doctor to come over, preparing to ask Zhao Wanning for a safe pulse later. At this time, I saw the maid hurrying over, thinking that Zhao Wanning had an accident, and her heart suddenly lifted.
"Speak quickly!" The eldest princess said anxiously: "What's wrong with the county lord?" ”
The maid hesitated and stepped forward, and whispered: "The slave maid saw that there was a drunken son who entered the Yueyue Garden......"
There was no need to say the rest of the words, the eldest princess already understood.
The eldest princess didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took Mama Xu to Invite Moon Garden.
Zhao Chen'an, the initiator, naturally knew what was going on, and she took her familiar little sister to follow the eldest princess, ready to see how the noble lord of Qinghe was caught and raped in bed.
The eldest princess felt disgusted when she saw the gloating smile on Zhao Chen'an's face. She didn't expect that Zhao Chen'an, who is also a woman, would be so vicious.
Such a vicious person, staying in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for a long time is also a scourge, in case one day she bewitches the eldest princess and stretches out her hand to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but she has to guard against it.
You'll have to find a way to get rid of it.
Princess Celestia followed.
The group arrived at the Invitation Moon Garden.
