MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 209 Falling water

Before Du Jingyi said anything, Li, who had been good-tempered just now, suddenly got angry and said.

 “Why is Miss Wei so aggressive? After all, it’s a human life.”

Biting his lower lip firmly, he looked innocent again.

“Mrs. Shilang misunderstood Jia Lian, that’s not what I meant, I...”

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Li waved her hand and closed her eyes impatiently.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess also frowned and glanced at Wei Jialian, feeling very unhappy in her heart.

The Wei family was originally a bit disgraceful in front of them, but now the daughter they have brought up is still this bad-tempered. I really don’t know what kind of joke will be caused at the Jiji Banquet in a few days.

So he said in a deep voice.

"Miss Wei must be a little drunk. Someone please send her to her room to rest."

"yes."

With one sentence, Wei Jialian's idea of ​​staying and watching the theater was shattered. Although she was worried, she still did not dare to disobey the princess's wishes.

So he got up and walked out awkwardly, still feeling innocent in his eyes.

 After she went out, Mrs. Xing whispered something beside Mrs. Gu.

"You deserve it. The Vice Minister's wife is the most upright and frank. If she plays tricks in front of her, it's no wonder she was sent away by the Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess was born in the Earl's Palace of Weiyuan. Before she entered the East Palace, she was a close friend of her sister-in-law. Now she is a close relative's sister-in-law, so she naturally needs to take more care of her.

Wei Jialian dared to make mistakes in front of them at such a young age. It was indeed obvious that the Wei family was not good at educating their daughters.

But thinking about it, the old lady of the Wei family died of illness, and the daughters-in-law of the Wei family didn't stand out, so naturally they couldn't teach their children to be knowledgeable about etiquette.

Mrs. Gu also had a flash of joy in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated.

But Xue Niang escaped the disaster and immediately returned the peony velvet flower in her hand to Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, but she saw the crown prince smiled softly and said.

“This is the first time I have worn this flower. Today, I suddenly couldn’t see your talent, so I will treat it as a gift and we will talk about it another day.”

Xue Niang looked stunned. She never expected that the Crown Princess would say such a thing.

 So if you feel guilty, you can only respond quickly.

 “My daughter obeys my orders.”

 Then, she and Gu Xiaolang retreated to Mrs. Gu, looking sadly at the people who were still salvaging on the river.

 In my heart, I am not only worried about the person who fell into the water, but also worried about how I will "repay my debt" in the future.

The lights shone long and bright on everyone's faces.

Because someone fell into the water, the chattering, drunken and talkative people on the various boats gathered on the deck, looking anxiously and curiously at the man and woman struggling in the water.

The man is dressed in bright yellow clothes, and he looks like a member of the royal family.

 The woman next to her who was still struggling was wearing a moon-white dress.

Looking at the bright and warm luster of her hair ornaments today in the dark night, you can tell that it is not vulgar.

 Therefore, a woman who is qualified to wear such hair accessories cannot be an ordinary person.

 “Seventh Prince…”

“Hurry up and rescue people! Hurry up and rescue the Seventh Prince!”

 The one who fell into the water turned out to be the seventh prince!

　　After hearing such a shout, the fourth prince also pushed aside the crowd and looked over.

The two brothers boarded the boat together. They were singing and drinking together just now. Why did they get off in the blink of an eye?

So he scolded the people around him and said immediately. "If we can't save the seventh prince, I want you to pay with your lives!"

Hearing this, more people jumped into the water, and soon they were like dumplings, gathering in the canal under the dark night.

 Fortunately, because of the large number of people, the two of them were fished out quickly.

The river water was bitingly cold in winter. As soon as the two of them got on the boat, they were surrounded by eunuchs and maids around them, who were wiping the water and covering their hands.

 So not panic...

The seventh prince is a man after all, so even though he is very cold, he still has to maintain his dignity in front of everyone.

But the woman opposite her face was pale, and her teeth could not help but tremble.

Hair and clothes were messy, and the comments from people around her made her even more ashamed. She fainted when she became anxious.

“Miss, wake up quickly, miss!”

When the seventh prince saw this, his face darkened and he ordered.

“Send Miss Zhao to rest quickly and ask the imperial doctor to take a look immediately.”

 “Yes, Your Highness.”

 After a series of instructions were given, the boat immediately became lively.

The Crown Princess looked at the embarrassed seventh prince in front of her indifferently, and she really burst out laughing at this excuse sent by God.

 Miss Zhao?

If she remembers correctly, this Miss Zhao is a beautiful girl who will be sent to the palace in the beginning of spring. How could she and the seventh prince fall into the water?

No one here has any doubts in their hearts.

Because of the Seventh Prince’s face, no one dared to question it.

The seventh prince also knew that this was unreasonable, so he immediately said to the princess.

"Sister-in-law, don't be surprised. I accidentally bumped into Miss Zhao. She slipped and fell into the water, and I followed her into the water to save her. We were both innocent and nothing happened."

It might be better if he didn't speak.

This statement is full of loopholes.

There are all women on this boat. Why is a royal man running to another boat instead of talking to the prince and others?

　　In the past, I looked at him as an elegant and handsome man, with a royal and glorious temperament exuding from his whole body, as bright as the bright moon and the breeze.

Looking at this behavior now, it looks like a gangster. Isn't this a joke?

 The Crown Princess doesn’t even need to add fuel to the flames, what happened today will definitely spread a lot.

 So, she was happy to be a good person and help cover it up.

"Seventh brother, go and have a bowl of **** tea. The weather is cold and the water is cold. It's only troublesome if you hurt yourself. As for Miss Zhao, I will take care of it. You don't need to worry."

Hearing this, the seventh prince's pale face became a little embarrassed.

 But he had done it himself, so he couldn't say much, so he could only shut up and let the palace officials take him away.

Not long after he left, the prince and others walked over from the connection point of the boat. They looked anxious and asked.

 “Where is the seventh brother? How is he doing?”

He was just a brother-in-law to the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince, so it was inevitable that there was some joy in his words.

Hence, the fourth prince who was following him was naturally dissatisfied, but the most important thing at the moment was the situation of his seventh brother, so he didn't care much about it.

When the Crown Princess saw a group of them arriving in an impressive manner, she deliberately pretended to defend the Seventh Prince and spoke in a cryptic manner.

"It's nothing serious. They were all fished out. However, I was afraid that they would choke on the water, so I asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat them."

Although Ms. Zhao was not mentioned in the words, who among them would not understand that they were two people.
