Ye Zhen thought that she would definitely fall into the lotus pond, and whether she would be drowned was the second priority. With Murongyi here, someone would definitely save her, but she couldn't bear to lose face here.
Once she falls into the water, her boudoir reputation will definitely be damaged, and she may not be able to enter the palace to become a female medical officer by then. It was the first time in Ye Zhen's heart that she felt strong anger towards the eldest princess and her daughter.
She didn't want to provoke them, they refused to let her go from the very beginning, don't think she didn't see the eldest princess winking at the two maids, a majestic eldest princess is so vicious!
She didn't expect that someone would save her, Ye Zhen thought several times in her heart what to do if she fell into the water so as not to damage her boudoir's name, she has not yet decided which method to use, she has already been held firmly by someone.
"Thank you..." She felt her feet stepping on the flat ground, she was overjoyed, and raised her head to thank the person who rescued her.
What caught the eye was a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, with raised eyebrows and slightly pursed thin lips. He was dressed in a black embroidered golden dragon uniform, with a dark golden auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, which made his face like a crown jade, adding a bit of nobility , but, that cold gaze and inherent domineering pressure made no one around dare to speak out.
Mo Rongzhan? ! How could it be him
Ye Zhen's face changed slightly, she immediately pushed him away without thinking, and took a few steps back, the resistance and disgust in her eyes could hardly be concealed.
"Brother Huang." Murong Yi's face was filled with joy, and then he showed a timid expression. He was afraid of this elder brother since he was a child, but now seeing Murong Zhan's cold face, he was too scared to speak.
The eldest princess's face was not very good-looking, but she still saluted, "I have seen the emperor."
Liu Hua looked at Murong Zhan shyly and happily, and took two steps forward, "Cousin Emperor, why are you here?"
Mo Rongzhan's cold eyes fell on Ye Zhen's body lightly, seeing that she just lowered her head slightly and didn't say a word, he said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."
Are you talking to her? Ye Zhen paused in her heart, clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists, slowly raised her head, bowed her knees and saluted, "I have seen the emperor, thank you for saving my life."
This little girl was a little different from the time I met in Chengde Mountain Villa a while ago, Mo Rongzhan looked at her indifferently, then turned his head and glanced at the others, "What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, this pariah knocked me down, and he insisted on reasoning and refused to admit his mistake." Liu Hua stared at Ye Zhen's beautiful face, feeling jealous in his heart, fearing that the Emperor would be attracted by her, he immediately walked over and shouted aggrievedly.
Murongyi said angrily, "It was you who fell down by yourself, why did Yaoyao hit you?"
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "Did the little prince see Liuhua fall by himself? I know you are helping Lu Yaoyao, so I can't open my eyes and talk nonsense."
"You..." Murongyi blushed with anger. The eldest princess was his aunt, but this aunt used to look down on them. He still remembered that one year, he and his mother saw the eldest princess. He wanted to say hello to her, but this woman said in front of many people that the queen mother's status was low and she was not worthy to talk to her at all.
Murongyi has always remembered that scene very clearly. That year, the emperor's elder brother had just left the capital to go to war, and his father no longer loved his mother, who was just a nobleman. They did not live well in the palace. Although he was young, he loved The eldest princess's expression at that time was clearly remembered.
Now, brother Huang is already the most honorable person in the Kingdom of Jin, why would the eldest princess dare to show her arrogant attitude in front of them
Murongyi gritted his teeth, stared at the eldest princess and said, "So what if I want to help Lu Yaoyao? She is my friend. If I don't help her, why should I help you?"
"You are presumptuous!" The eldest princess scolded without even thinking about it, "How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Princess, then tell me, how should I talk to you? Or do you think I'm not qualified to talk to you?" Murongyi's young and immature face was full of indignation.
Ye Zhen looked at Murongyi in surprise, she didn't expect this little prince to speak for her like this.
The eldest princess probably didn't expect that Murongyi, who has always been cowardly and well-behaved, would dare to say such a thing. In her impression, Murongyi, like the queen mother, is cowardly and useless. She never put them in her eyes. Yi questioned her, but she couldn't answer.
The person she treated as a little white rabbit turned out to have sharp teeth.
Murong Zhan raised his thin lips slightly, and said to Murong Yi with a downcast face, "Aren't you still sick? Why did you run out?"
"Brother Huang, I... I'll go back immediately." Murong Yi's fighting spirit died down immediately when he met Murong Zhan.
"Have you taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor? You still look so bad?" Mo Rongzhan looked at him with a frown, and his tone was very displeased.
Murongyi immediately nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, Brother Huang, I even take medicine obediently."
"Go back to the prince." Murong Zhan glanced at him, and asked the eunuch next to him to send Murong Yi back, then turned to look at the eldest princess, and said in a flat tone, "Eldest princess, Ah Yi is still young and ignorant. , don’t argue with him.”
The eldest princess's position has remained unchanged until today, not only because of her domineering, but also her knowledge of current affairs and vision. She knew two years ago that the crown prince would not be able to sit firmly on the throne even if he ascended the throne, so she secretly helped Mo Rongzhan The usurper succeeded, otherwise, she would be the same as the other clans today, all under house arrest in her own mansion.
"What the emperor said is that the little prince is still a child after all, but this Lu Yaoyao really contradicted me just now. Your majesty, it is okay for me to deal with a pariah who doesn't know how to behave." The eldest princess did not intend to let Ye Zhen go.
"Princess, the queen mother likes this girl very much. If you want to deal with her, you should ask the queen mother first, and then..." Mo Rongzhan's dark eyes flashed coldly, "I saw clearly just now, Lu Yaoyao has never collided with Liuhua. , what you said to the eldest princess is not considered rude."
The eldest princess' face changed, "Since that's the case... then I won't bother with this little girl, Liu Hua, the Queen Mother is still waiting for us, let's go!"
Liu Hua pouted, feeling extremely wronged, she managed to catch a glimpse of the emperor's cousin, why did he speak for Lu Yaoyao, didn't he know that Lu Yaoyao made her lose face
"Cousin of the emperor, how can you help her? Is it because she is Lu Shuang'er's younger sister that you speak for her?" Liu Hua stomped and asked.
Mo Rongzhan's face was cold, and he looked down at Liu Hua coldly, "Princess Liu Hua, so what if I help her?"
"The emperor's cousin..." Liu Hua called him in a low voice, wanting to get some sympathy from him.
The eldest princess had already come to hold her hand, and smiled reluctantly, "Your Majesty, we will take our leave first."
Mo Rongzhan nodded indifferently.
