After what happened yesterday, Liu Chugrong felt a little depressed, so he decided to take advantage of the sunny day to take a walk outside. Thus, he brought Xiao Lv to the imperial flower garden to relax and take care of his own emotions.
Xiao Lv lowered her head and followed behind her, not daring to say a word, afraid that she would be punished by the Imperial Concubine again.
Walking slowly beside the mirror lake in the imperial garden, looking at the palace's unchanging scenery, she couldn't help but feel somewhat at a loss. When she had first entered the palace, she also didn't understand anything.
Liu Chu Rong stretched out his slender fingers and held onto the railing of the lake. He exerted a bit of strength, and even his knuckles turned white.
"Imperial Concubine, be more careful. This lake is dangerous." Although Xiao Lv was afraid of punishment, she couldn't help but warn him. She couldn't possibly just watch as Imperial Concubine took the risk, right?
Liu Chu Rong frowned and was about to give a lesson, but before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud voice not far away. It was an extremely young voice.
Subconsciously, her attention was attracted as well. She saw a small figure wearing a pink dress scurry around the imperial garden, heading in her direction.
"Third Princess! Third Princess, don't you dare run away! " The palace maid behind her panted as she ran, her voice out of breath.
However, Fu Lingling still continued to walk, and even intentionally sped up, and turned her head to the palace maid and smiled, "Ah'Shan, hurry up, you can't even catch up to me!" As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows proudly and ran away quickly.
"Third Princess! Your servant really can't run anymore. Shall we continue tomorrow? " Ah'Sang said in a tone of agreement, but a crafty look flashed across his eyes.
"You can't run anymore?" Fu Lingling could not help but slow down her footsteps, "Interesting, then let's continue tomorrow."
She pouted unhappily, but just as she stopped to let her guard down, Ah'Sai pounced on her from behind!
By the time Fu Lingling reacted, it was already too late. She hurriedly turned around and ran, but Ah'Shan's hand had already pushed her away, and hers …
"Ah …"
Accompanied by a desperate and panicked cry, Liu Chu Ronghua was pushed into the lake …
"Imperial Concubine!" Xiao Lv reacted and leaned on the railing as she shouted.
Hearing that, Fu Lingling realized that she had caused a disaster.
Ah Shan, who was behind him was also stunned, and immediately shouted, "Someone, come! Help! Imperial Concubine fell into the water! "
Liu Chugrong was not good at swimming, so he kept jumping up and down, but eventually fell down again and again.
"Save …" Help! " Fu Lingling was completely stunned as she moved her body up and down. When she finally regained her senses, all the palace maids around her had begun to shout as well, but no one knew how to swim.
Fu Huaiyu, who was passing by, heard the noises coming from the lakeside and looked around, only to see Liu Chugrong's servant, Xiao Lv.
"Save me! The Imperial Concubine has fallen into the water!"
Liu Chu Rong fell into the water!
Fu Huaiyu could not help but frown in displeasure. What a woman!
Originally, he didn't want to bother with it. He wanted to find the emperor to discuss the court affairs, but he didn't want to lose the chess piece, Liu Chugrong.
Seeing him walk over quickly, Xiao Lv's eyes lit up, "Ninth Prince, Imperial Concubine fell into the water, please save the Empress!" His tone was hasty and her eyes were filled with pleading.
"Ninth Royal Uncle, quickly save the Imperial Concubine, she … She seems very uncomfortable in the water. " Fu Lingling also cried as she tugged on the corner of his clothes and pleaded. After all, it was her who had caused this.
He glanced at Fu Lingling indifferently, then looked at Liu Chugrong who was still struggling in the water.
She was jumping so fiercely that Fu Huaiyu couldn't help but despise her in his heart. Like this, he would sink even faster.
"Ninth Imperial Uncle …" Seeing that he still hadn't made a move, Fu Lingling only thought that he didn't want to help herhisinth Imperial Uncle …" Seeing that he still hadn't made a move, Fu Lingling only thought that he didn't want to help her.
He suddenly raised his peach blossom eyes, smiled at her, and pinched her face. "Don't worry, Ninth Imperial Uncle will save you."
Then, he jumped into the water and pulled Liu Chugrong up.
Liu Chugrong was lucky enough to not faint. He just choked a few times, his body was already soaked, and his delicate hair was in a mess.
"Imperial Consort Liu, are you alright? I... I didn't mean to. " Fu Lingling was not familiar with her, and his voice trembled slightly.
Liu Chugrong was so angry that his heart trembled after she pushed him into the lake. However, he couldn't say anything. "You!"
Fu Huaiyu immediately swept her with his cold gaze, although Liu Chu Rong was furious, but he did not offend her, so he could only glare at her and did not say anything else.
Fu Huaiyu chuckled, "Third Princess is naturally lively, you should be more careful in the future."
With that, he turned his head towards Liu Chuhong and said, "It's not convenient for Imperial Consort Liu. Let this king escort you back to the palace." His words were extremely natural, causing people to be unable to find any mistakes.
"Then I'll be troubling Ninth Prince." Liu Chu Rong was polite on the surface, but he was happy inside.
This farce ended when Fu Huaiyu sent her back to the Palace. A short distance away, Shen Qing Wan saw this scene, and a light flashed across her eyes. She couldn't help but smile. Perhaps … This was a good opportunity.
Seeing that they had all left, Fu Lingling looked in their direction still and lowered her head in disappointment.
Shen Qingwan slowly walked back, "What is Third Princess thinking?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Fu Lingling could not help but turn her head, and saw her. Then she smiled: "Ling greets Concubine Xian."
"Seeing me being so courteous, it seems that I was truly frightened." She smiled slightly. Fu Lingling was usually smart and cute, but today he was scared by this sudden development.
When she mentioned this matter, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, "Imperial Consort Liu seems to be very angry at me."
"Third Princess does not need to think too much into it. Ninth Prince arrived in time, and it did not even amount to a substantial injury." Shen Qingwan gently stroked her soft hair as she consoled, "Imperial Consort Liu doesn't blame you, right?"
"Yes, indeed …" But she also wanted to say something, right?
"Don't think too much into it. I promise you, Imperial Consort Liu won't blame you." Shen Qingwan interrupted her words.
Her eyes slowly brightened with anticipation. "Really?"
Shen Qingwan resolutely nodded her head.
As for Liu Chugrong's side, Fu Huaiyu had already safely sent her back to the courtyard.
"You can't even keep your heart in check in front of a child?" There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were chilling.
"Ninth Prince, I …" Liu Chugrong mumbled.
"There's no need to say so much. In the future, just be more careful when dealing with things." He seemed to have thought of something. "This King doesn't want to see anything like what happened today."
The more he talked about this, the more Liu Chu Rong felt dissatisfied with Fu Lingling. If she didn't recklessly mess with him, would she be in such a miserable state?
Fu Huaiyu swept a glance at the miserable her and didn't want to say anything more. He was going, after all, he still had matters to attend to.
