Chapter 16 Falling into the Water

"Ge'er, then you accompany the Queen first, and I'll wait for you on the small bridge over there." After Xiao Yufu finished speaking, she bowed and stepped aside.

The queen just glanced at her lightly and did not speak. Instead, she held Xiao Yuge's hand affectionately and walked towards the pavilion: "Ge'er, you have a simple mind. There are some things that you shouldn't just take at the surface. You have to be careful. Don’t let some people with ulterior motives take advantage of you.”

Speaking of which, the Queen is still somewhat related to the Xiao family. Otherwise, she would not have allowed her son to be engaged to the Xiao family since he was a child, nor would she have allowed her son to move around freely in the Xiao family. Of course, she also liked the Xiao family's role in the court. power.

Looking at the backs of the Queen and Xiao Yuge, Xiao Yufu subconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves and bit her lip. Tears of grievance filled her eyes again. Just because she was an adopted daughter, she could not marry her beloved. She even came to such a banquet because of Xiao Yuge. She was really unwilling to do so.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest lady of the Xiao family? Why, are you feeling aggrieved?" At this time, Jiang Zhiyi, the enchantingly dressed daughter-in-law of the Shangshu Mansion, twisted her waist and walked over: "It seems that just being able to please His Highness the Crown Prince is useless. , you have to please the Queen, your stupid sister is not stupid at all today." She is Concubine Shu's biological niece, and she is naturally very popular on weekdays, so she doesn't take Xiao Yufu seriously at all. Naturally, he had ulterior motives in striking up a conversation today.

Xiao Yufu pursed her lips and said nothing. In fact, her face was turning blue and white. She had dressed up carefully just to win the Queen's favor, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yuge just put it on. The dress given by the queen immediately stole all her limelight. She even felt that Xiao Yuge did this on purpose.

Jiang Zhiyi took in her expression completely, raised her red lips, and evoked a smile of success: "Miss Xiao, you must be very unhappy when you see that the man you love is about to marry another woman, right? Or, in other words, with Isn’t it particularly unfair that my sister shares a man and is still a concubine? However, I have long disliked Xiao Yuge. If Miss Xiao is willing to join forces with me, I don’t mind even taking your revenge. Let’s report together.”

Xiao Yufu's face turned cold: "She is my sister. If you dare to hurt her, don't blame me."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Zhiyi interrupted her: "Tsk, tsk, come on, let me play the role of sisterly love, haven't you ever thought about it, if there is no little bitch like Xiao Yuge, wouldn't you But you are the only young lady in the Prime Minister’s Palace, and no one will compete with you for your sweetheart anymore, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

Xiao Yufu glanced at Xiao Yuge, who was chatting happily with the queen in the pavilion, and said coldly: "She will always be my sister and the second young lady of the Xiao family. I will never allow anyone to harm her. Her!" After saying that, he took the girl and walked aside.

Jiang Zhiyi curled up the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: "It's true, we'll see! You escaped a disaster just now, I hope you are all so lucky today!"

When Xiao Yufu heard this, she suddenly paused: "You mean, the honey just now was you?"

"I'm not that stupid. If you want to use me, I'll use poison or honey? Ha! Childish! However, I've long disliked you, so everyone who goes against you is my friend. Huh! ! How can you, a useless adopted daughter, win the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince? And that idiot Xiao Yuge, who is nothing but the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, actually wants to be the future Crown Princess? Seriously? Ridiculous!"

Xiao Yufu noticed that no one was passing by, so she lost her worries and sneered: "Even if we are nothing, His Highness the Crown Prince still wants to marry us. Miss Jiang feels so good about herself, but the Crown Prince just doesn't like us. What do you think?" It’s annoying!”

"Xiao Yufu!" Jiang Zhiyi was so angry that her face turned red. Her bared teeth looked like she was going to eat Xiao Yufu alive: "You bitch! Don't be too proud. One day, I will definitely make you pay the price!" "Then let's wait until that day!" Xiao Yufu dropped this sentence and turned around to leave. She found it boring to talk to such a brainless person.

She came all the way to the small bridge, leaned lazily on the railings of the small bridge, and looked at something absently. It seemed that the large lotus flowers in front of her eyes were hard to see. She frowned slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She occasionally raised her eyes. , when his eyes met someone, he just smiled reluctantly to show politeness.

She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she kicked the railing subconsciously, only to find that one of the railings seemed to be a little loose. She just glanced at it thoughtfully, then walked aside as if nothing had happened, and looked at the water. The lotus flower was in a trance, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Miss Xiao, we are really enemies on a narrow road. You said that we bumped into this huge lotus garden again while walking around. I felt unlucky when I saw your sad face!" At this time, Ning came from the side. Hua's arrogant voice.

Xiao Yufu frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and turned around to leave without answering.

"Xiao Yufu, what do you mean? After all, I am also the princess. You are just an adopted daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How dare you be so rude to the princess? You are so brave!" Ninghua saw that she would not treat her Looking at it, I was furious.

"Didn't the princess say that it would be unlucky to see me? Then why don't I just go away? If the princess is really bored, there are many noble girls over there. You can go to them, but she wants to find presence in front of my adopted daughter. I also want to ask the princess what you think?" Xiao Yufu is not as weak as she appears.

"A wild girl who appeared out of nowhere dares to talk to this princess like this. Whoever comes here, slap this princess!" Ninghua was also dizzy with anger for a moment. From childhood to adulthood, she has not Someone dared to contradict her like this. She was originally angry with Xiao Yuge and wanted to get it back from Xiao Yufu, who looked like a soft persimmon. However, she did not expect that Xiao Yufu was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

"This is the Queen's palace banquet, how dare you!" No one around noticed, Xiao Yufu also became hardened, and even the maid who was about to step forward was stunned by her eyes.

"I dare you!" Ninghua was so angry that she went up to Xiao Yufu in person and shouted at Xiao Yufu's face.

Xiao Yufu instinctively dodged to the side.

Ninghua missed the target and couldn't hold her feet back, so she hit the railing. Then the railing broke. She lost her center of gravity and screamed. She fell straight down, and only heard a plop. There was a sound and he fell into the lotus pond!
"Help! Help me." She was frightened because she didn't know how to swim. She kept flopping in the water and drank several mouthfuls of water as soon as she opened her mouth.
