Feng Fen Dai was scared silly. She originally wanted to push Chen Yu; however, she did not think that in a moment of distraction, the one pushed into the water would be Xiang Rong.
Seeing that Xiang Rong had sunk to the point that she could no longer see her, her heart began to beat wildly. She repeatedly shouted at the eunuch rowing the boat: "What are you still standing there for? Quickly go down and save her! Did you not see that someone fell into the water? "
The eunuch helplessly spread his hands: "Young miss, this servant does not know how to swim at all. Also, even if I did know how to swim, it would be pointless. With such a cold lake, jumping in is just death."
Fen Dai's face turned white with fear. Even if her initial plan was to push Chen Yu, she was still just a ten year old girl. How could she have thought so much. Whether or not the lake was cold, she did not know, but if someone fell in, they would die. This was something that she did not even think about. It was nothing more than wanting Chen Yu to make a fool of herself. Moreover, there were so many boats on the lake, and there were eunuchs present. Once someone fell into the water, they should have immediately come to save them. But why did this eunuch say that he did not know how to swim at all?
"This is not the first time we have rowed a boat on the lake. Over the years, I have never heard of a young miss being so insecure as to fall from a boat." The eunuch's words resolved her doubts. At the same time, he also made a dig at them. The meaning was – you asked for it.
Fen Dai was extremely anxious. She did not care about Xiang Rong's life or death, but she definitely could not die at her hands. Feng Chen Yu was still standing there. As long as she spoke up to prove it, everyone would believe that she had pushed Xiang Rong into the water because that was the truth.
She held onto the side of the boat and desperately shouted into the lake: "Third sister! Third sister! "
Xiang Rong's personal servant, Mei Xiang, was on the verge of going crazy. She even reached into the water to scoop her up.
But how could she hear Xiang Rong's reply. Not only was there no reply, even the ripples caused by Xiang Rong's fall gradually calmed down.
Feng Chen Yu leaned close to Fen Dai's ear and quietly said: "Fourth sister murdered third sister. This, what exactly is the reason?"
Fen Dai's forehead was covered in a cold sweat, as her hands clenched into fists and trembled. She suddenly felt a determination to fight Chen Yu. She turned her head and fiercely glared at Chen Yu. The two's noses touched, as they were about to begin fighting.
At this moment, a "splash" sound was heard. Another person had jumped into the lake.
The two of them were shocked and turned their heads to look.
At this time, more and more ships were surrounding them. The madams and young ladies on the ships were so scared that their faces turned pale. They grabbed the pillars of the ships tightly, not daring to move.
The person that had jumped down was a man, and he looked like a guard. After jumping down, he used his inner strength and quickly sank down, quickly catching up to Xiang Rong. He then reached out and scooped her up, successfully bringing Xiang Rong to the surface of the water.
Fen Dai let out a sigh of relief and wanted to say "She's finally been saved," but when she saw Xiang Rong's pale face, she swallowed the words that had reached her mouth.
How could he still survive?
The guards brought him to the surface of the water and immediately swam in a direction. Fen Dai anxiously shouted: "Our boat is over here!" But they completely ignored her, as they brought Xiang Rong over to another large boat.
Chen Yu squinted her eyes and looked over at the large boat. Only then did she notice that the boat's pavilion was made of white jade, and it was very beautiful.
At this time, outside the pavilion, there was a person standing with his hands behind his back. With an anxious expression, he looked at the two people swimming over.
Xuan Tianhua?
Chen Yu furrowed her brow and saw the guard bring Xiang Rong over to the side of the boat. Xuan Tianhua took the initiative to bend down and reach out, personally carrying Xiang Rong onto the boat. He then laid her flat on the deck of the boat. Only then did he say something to a maidservant at his side.
After that, the maidservant took the initiative to step forward. She patted Xiang Rong and fed her medicine. Not long later, the pale-faced Xiang Rong slowly regained consciousness.
Chen Yu's heart filled with jealousy. Without even thinking, her body suddenly tilted. Following a scream, she suddenly fell into the water.
Fen Dai was speechless. Was there going to be a meeting in the lake today? Why did Feng Chen Yu jump in on her own? Since she wanted to fall into the water herself, why did she switch with Xiang Rong?
She felt that her brain was a little lacking. At this time, she heard the eunuch manning the boat say: "It really is his Highness the seventh prince who is benevolent." Only then did she look over. Sure enough, the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, was squatting on the boat and speaking with Xiang Rong.
Fen Dai immediately understood. It turned out that Feng Chen Yu was jealous?
Hahaha! If they were not in the palace, she really would have laughed out loud. Feng Chen Yu, you should open your eyes and see what sort of person the seventh prince is. Is he someone you can taint? Even if you obtained that person, as long as there is a day when your matter is made public, there is no need for the seventh prince to do anything. Just the curses of the people of this world are enough to drown you.
Feng Chen Yu falling into the water caused a wave of shock. Some young misses began to feel afraid and repeatedly asked the boatman: "Wasn't it said that it would be very stable and nothing would happen? Why did two people fall in one after another? "
But there were also people with sharp eyes who saw how Chen Yu fell into the water, but they could not understand, so they knelt and asked: "Why did the Feng family's eldest young miss jump into the lake on her own?"
Xuan Tianhua naturally also saw this scene, but he did not respond. He was personally draping a thick cloak over Xiang Rong's body. He then quietly said to her: "Endure it a little longer. When we reach the shore, someone will bring you to change your clothes."
Xiang Rong, however, stared at her own wet clothes and began to cry: "I'm sorry, I made the clothes you gave me wet! Wu, I really am useless! " When a child cried, there was no way to describe it. With tears and snot, she did not even bother to address him. She just said you and me.
Xuan Tianhua, however, did not get angry. He just looked at this child with some helplessness. "Don't cry. I don't blame you. If the clothes are wet, just wash them and let them dry. If it really doesn't work, I'll just give you another set."
Xiang Rong opened her eyes wide and looked at him. There was an urge that she desperately suppressed. She remembered An shi's words. She remembered her own status. She knew that no matter how much she wanted to throw herself into his Highness the seventh prince's embrace, she had to endure it.
However, she did not know that in Xuan Tianhua's eyes, she was actually just a child. She was only ten years old. She could not even be considered a woman.
Originally, aside from Feng Yu Heng, he did not have much of an impression of the Feng family's children, much less have a good impression of them.
But Feng Yu Heng had always taken care of this little girl. Even this time, she had specially asked him to take care of this little girl. She had even prepared beautiful Winter clothes for her.
He knew that he definitely could not send it to the Feng manor under Feng Yu Heng's name, so he could only use his own name. Of course, doing this would definitely cause people to speculate, but he did not care. He was Xuan Tianhua. He was known as the most otherworldly man in the world. He was not afraid of people gossiping, nor was he afraid of people speculating. No matter what it was, he had done it. He never regretted it, and he never explained it to anyone.
Now, this little girl's matter was the same.
"Get up." He reached out to help Xiang Rong, "Go inside the boat. It will be warmer."
Xiang Rong was helped up by him. Although her body was trembling from the cold, her heart was warm. The shoulder that Xuan Tianhua held was also warm, and her cheeks were still hot.
Her little heart was thumping, and she hoped that the hand on her shoulder would not be removed. Unfortunately, very quickly, the warmth was no longer there.
"Your Highness, do we still need to save the one in the water?" The guard that had saved Xiang Rong returned to Xuan Tianhua's side. His entire body was wet, but he did not shiver.
Xuan Tianhua looked into the water. Feng Chen Yu sank even faster than Xiang Rong. After a while, he feared that she would be half-frozen from the cold.
"Go save her!" Then he added: "After saving her, send her to the boat she was originally on. Leave everything else to the palace servants."
The guard nodded and jumped back into the water.
Not long later, Chen Yu was also brought to the surface by him.
It had to be said that Feng Chen Yu was a bit better than Xiang Rong, as she did not faint. But when she saw that the guard that had saved her wanted to bring her to the other side, she became unhappy and began to push him away. Even if she died, she did not want to return to Fen Dai's boat.
From the boat on the lake, a very impolite mocking voice could be heard. They then heard a voice say: "Since she does not want to come up, then let her stay in the water!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw another large boat coming over. The pavilion on the boat was surrounded by a number of grey curtains. Inside the curtains, a man and a woman were sitting across from each other, drinking tea.
The words that had just been said by the man were immediately accompanied by a laugh from the woman, "It really is funny. On such a cold day, one after another, they all fall into the water."
Someone recognized the two and quietly muttered: "It's his Highness the fourth prince and the Bu family's young miss."
As they spoke, the boat had already reached Xuan Tianhua's white jade boat. Xuan Tianhua looked inside and took the initiative to say: "Fourth brother."
Xuan Tian Yi nodded, "Seventh brother is in a good mood, even thinking of saving people."
Xuan Tianhua faintly smiled but did not speak.
Bu Ni Shang stood up from Xuan Tian Yi's side and walked out of the boat's pavilion. Bowing to Xuan Tianhua, she said: "Ni Shang greets his Highness the seventh prince."
Xuan Tianhua raised his hand, "No need to be so courteous." His attitude was calm, but it was also very distant.
Bu Ni Shang recalled the previous banquet when the princes and Feng Yu Heng were very close. They all called her younger sister-in-law in a very intimate manner. But why was it that even though she was also the official wife of a prince, she received such a completely different treatment?
Now that Feng Yu Heng had died, she turned her anger onto the other children of the Feng family. Bu Ni Shang glanced at Xiang Rong, who was standing timidly at Xuan Tianhua's side. She then looked at Chen Yu, who was still fighting with the guards in the water and was about to be sacrificed. She coldly snorted and said: "The people of the Feng family really are lowly."
Xiang Rong could not bear to listen and said with grief: "Young miss Bu, how can you speak like this?"
"What sort of thing are you?" Bu Ni Shang's eyes immediately stood up, "A daughter of a concubine has the right to speak to me?"
"You …" Xiang Rong's eyes turned red with anger. At this moment, she really wanted to be like Feng Yu Heng in the past. If something was not pleasing to the ear, she would immediately refute it. But even after organizing her words for a long time, she still could not understand.
It was Xuan Tianhua that spoke up for her, saying: "Bu family's daughter of the first wife? If you have this sort of upbringing, you really are not worthy of marrying into my imperial family. "
Once he spoke, Xuan Tian Yi could no longer sit still. Although Xuan Tianhua was his younger brother, the Emperor's sons had some close relatives and some distant relatives. Xuan Tianhua had been raised by Consort Yun. In Tianwu's heart, he was the same as Xuan Tianming.
"Seventh brother, do not get angry. Arguments between girls are common." Xuan Tian Yi spoke up to resolve the situation, but the words he said were not pleasant at all.
Xuan Tianhua, however, did not give him any face. Shaking his head, he said: "Fourth brother, you absolutely must not blame father Emperor. Back then, father Emperor arranged this marriage for you because he fancied the Bu family's scholarly background. Young miss must have a noble character; however, who knew that young miss Bu would be taught like this. This truly was not father Emperor's intention."
What could Xuan Tian Yi say? He had always known that Xuan Tianhua looked like a deity, but in reality, he was just a smiling King of Hell. Whoever offended him might end up worse than offending Xuan Tianming.
"How could that be, how could that be." He casually replied while glaring at Bu Ni Shang, "Quickly apologize to the Feng family's young miss!"
