The New Year's Eve banquet in the rear palace hall was still going on, but the Chen jia sisters had no fate with tonight's banquet. Chen Qing Yao was supported to the side hall to look at her injuries, while Chen Qing Jin was punished to meditate in another side hall because she offended the Empress Dowager … …
Compared to the circumstances of the Chen jia sisters, Su Wan received the Empress Dowager's special favor. Not only did the Empress Dowager let Su Wan sit next to her to eat, she even personally picked food for her with a smile on her face.
This kind of special treatment made the noble ladies and Furens at the side numb … …
It's said that the bird that sticks out is shot. Today, Su Wan was in the limelight at the banquet. If it was someone else, they would have long been treading on thin ice. Unfortunately, our family's Eldest Young Miss Su was famous for being heartless. The banquet was only halfway through and Su Wan excused herself in advance with the reason that she was not feeling well. Not only did the Empress Dowager not blame her, she even specially called her personal maid to support Su Wan to the adjacent side hall to have a good rest.
The side hall that the Empress Dowager arranged for Su Wan was naturally excellent. As soon as Su Wan entered the door, she felt the warm air inside.
At this moment, the stove in the room was burning just right. On the soft couch beside the stove, there was a slender and thin figure. He wore a purple official robe and had a head of black hair that was as smooth as ink that draped over his shoulders.
The palace maid behind him didn't seem surprised to see the person in the side hall. She took a step forward and bowed respectfully: "This servant greets Ninth Wangye!"
This palace maid was also an old person by the Empress Dowager's side. Naturally, she habitually called Qin Mu Yan "Ninth Wangye".
Hearing the palace maid's words, Su Rui impatiently waved his hand. That palace maid immediately tactfully retreated. At this time, only Su Wan and Su Rui were left in the side hall —
"Happy New Year!"
The two people coincidentally spoke at the same time and then looked at each other and smiled.
"Come and sit."
Su Rui patted the spot on his side. Su Wan saw his action and unhesitatingly walked to Su Rui's side and sat next to him: "You told the Empress Dowager about our matter?"
Tonight, the Empress Dowager took special care of Su Wan as soon as they met. At that time, Su Wan thought of this, and then she didn't hesitate to take advantage of the situation.
Hearing Su Wan's words, Su Rui raised his eyes to look at Su Wan's face and said with a serious face, "I know that Chen Qing Jin is not your opponent, but … I won't allow anyone to bully you, even if they have that thought. As long as I'm here, this world, the next world, every world … no one can bully you."
No one can bully you, not even me …
Hearing Su Rui's words, Su Wan couldn't help but smile: "You're childish, but … … I like it."
While speaking, Su Wan already involuntarily leaned her head on Su Rui's shoulder: "After the New Year, this mission is almost over. I also don't want Shen Qing Jin's life. Like this, you and I each get half of the mission points, what do you say?"
In the past, Su Wan was very obsessed with mission points, but now …..
She felt that she no longer needed to work so hard to earn points.
Hearing Su Wan's words, Su Rui, who was beside her, only lightly nodded his head: "I'll listen to you."
From the moment he decided on her, to Su Rui, in his entire life, the most important thing was only Su Wan. Everything else was just fleeting clouds … ….
Raising his hand and gently embracing Su Wan's slender waist, the corner of Su Rui's lips involuntarily raised into a gentle smile.
On the lively New Year's Eve, in the quiet side hall, the two people quietly snuggled together, peacefully and comfortably silently experiencing their first and last New Year's Eve in the Daqing Dynasty … …
At midnight, dazzling fireworks rose in the sky above the Imperial City. A new year had begun.
Chen Qing Jin, who was punished to reflect in the ice-cold side hall, looked at the brilliant fireworks outside the window through the crack of the window. For a moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She didn't know what she did wrong. She originally thought that after being reborn, she could turn the clouds and rain with one turn of the hand, but she didn't expect that this time, she would actually fall into the hands of Su Wan, who she had always looked down upon.
This made Chen Qing Jin very unreconciled!
She blankly stared at the fireworks in midair, lost in thought. When she returned to her senses, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eyes. That, wasn't that Chen Qing Yao?
Once she saw her past life's enemy, Chen Qing Jin's expression immediately became serious. She personally watched Chen Qing Yao's figure disappear into the night. Thinking of the Empress Dowager's punishment towards her, Chen Qing Jin hesitated for a moment. In the end, she still quietly pushed open the door of the side hall. Taking advantage of the gap when no one was paying attention, she quickly followed the direction Chen Qing Yao left in … …
In the middle of the night, the palace road leading from the Rear Palace to the Central Palace was still brightly lit. As if afraid of being seen by others, Chen Qing Yao, who was in front, kept picking an unmanned path and slowly walked forward. Chen Qing Jin held her breath and quietly followed behind her. Not long after, the two people had already left the Rear Palace and arrived at the Imperial Garden at the back of the Central Palace.
In the cold winter, only the winter plum blossoms were still proudly standing upright in the Imperial Garden. Chen Qing Jin followed Chen Qing Yao all the way to the side of the pond in the center of the Imperial Garden. Chen Qing Yao, who was in front, suddenly disappeared.
Chen Qing Jin rubbed her eyes. In the pitch-black night, in the quiet garden, where was Chen Qing Yao's shadow?
This is … …
This is bad!
Chen Qing Jin knew that she had fallen into a trap. Her expression changed greatly and she turned to leave. But the moment she turned, a slender figure floated in front of her like a ghost —
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, she saw a face that looked exactly the same as her own and Chen Qing Jin suddenly screamed.
And the other "Chen Qing Jin" in front of her gave a strange smile and lightly lifted her arms to push forward —
"Splash!"
Chen Qing Jin's entire person was pushed into the pond. It was reasonable to say that the pond water should have frozen at this time, but the place she fell into happened to be the ice hole that the palace eunuchs chiseled out to clean the bottom of the pond and feed the winter fishes.
The bone-piercing cold surrounded Chen Qing Jin's entire person in an instant. Her consciousness gradually blurred and before she completely lost consciousness, she heard the woman on the shore use her own voice to desperately shout —
"Help! Help ah! "
The sharp and panicked cry for help drifted in the quiet Imperial Garden and fell into the ears of the people who had just entered the entrance of the Imperial Garden.
At this time, everyone had just finished the banquet and were preparing to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the fireworks and palace lanterns. As a result, once they entered the entrance of the Imperial Garden, they heard a woman's cry of alarm coming from the garden.
This voice may be somewhat unfamiliar to other people, but Chen Yu Shu and Qin Ting immediately recognized that this was Chen Qing Jin's voice. Qin Ting, who had been suffering from not being able to perform in front of the beautiful woman, had his eyes brighten at this time. Without waiting for Chen Yu Shu to move, he had already rushed out.
Following the direction of the voice, Qin Ting dashed to the side of the pond. Looking at the ice hole in front of him that was emitting cold air, Qin Ting's footsteps paused.
As the son of the current Empress, Qin Ting was born with extraordinary dignity. In these ten years, his life could be said to be smooth sailing and he had never suffered the slightest bit of hardship.
The ice-cold pond water in front of him could be felt with the naked eye. Once he jumped in, the cold air would definitely enter his body!
Just as Qin Ting hesitated, he saw another figure jump in without hesitation.
That was … …
"Your Second Highness!"
Everyone at the side looked at Qin Yue who jumped into the water in astonishment. Even Chen Yu Shu, who had rushed over and was preparing to enter the water, stared blankly in place.
All along, Chen Yu Shu knew that the Fifth Prince had a favorable impression of his younger sister. However, he didn't expect that at such a dangerous juncture, the Fifth Prince would hesitate and the always silent Second Prince would enter the water to save her without the slightest hesitation … …
Not long after, the surface of the water swayed and Qin Yue dragged the already unconscious Chen Qing Jin ashore.
"Qing Jin!"
Chen Yu Shu anxiously wanted to move forward, but Qin Yue stiffened his body and held Chen Qing Jin in his arms: "General Chen, don't touch her. Quickly call the Imperial Physician!"
Everyone's trip to the Imperial Garden was unexpectedly interrupted by Chen Qing Jin. The Crown Prince immediately had people summon the Imperial Physician over and a group of people followed Qin Yue's figure until Chen Qing Jin was sent to a palace in the Middle Palace … …
Qin Yue … …
It didn't take long for the news of Chen Qing Jin falling into the water to spread to the Inner Palace. Hearing this news, Yu-shi's complexion greatly changed and the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the high seat had a gloomy expression —
Why did Chen Qing Jin, who was supposed to reflect in the side hall, secretly go to the Imperial Garden?
Moreover, it just so happened that when His Highness the Crown Prince brought all the Gongzi to the Imperial Garden, she just happened to fall into the water?
How could there be such a coincidental thing in this world?
