Uncle Xiao Guo saw that the good girl woke up, and there was no injury on her whole body, so he said: "Your mother sent someone to tell me that you and Xin'er were kidnapped. Dad went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to look for you. They said you were in the palace, so Dad came here quickly. My dear girl, are you injured?"
While Uncle Xiao Guo was speaking, Xiao Ting finally remembered what happened last night, looked around at the crowd, and said, "Huh? Why are there so many people? The emperor is really worried, is he still afraid that we will run away?"
"Good girl, good girl..."
"Father, I'm fine. Don't worry, I just fell asleep here after drinking some wine yesterday." Xiao Ting got up to comfort her weak father, calmed down, and said, "Have you seen Xiao Shi?"
"Ah? No, where is he? As soon as I heard that something happened to you, I came to look for you."
Everyone: "..." Sure enough, the sixth girl of Uncle Xiao's family is the most precious. Even if the sixth girl is married, she is also the girl that Xiao Guo loves the most. No, even his son has been forgotten.
Xiao Ting patted his hand to reassure him, "Then let's go back and see Xiao Shi, by the way, we still have to settle accounts with that bitch."
"Bitch? Which slut dares to bully my daughter. I'll beat him up to 8 yuan." Uncle Xiao Guo said viciously.
"It's the Ninth Prince. He sent me to the palace and caused me to sleep here all night."
"Who cares about his prince, I still can't beat..., uh, Ninth Prince, let's find the noble concubine and sister!"
"No, my daughter will go back and clean him up."
"Ting'er." Zhaohua was also woken up, rubbing her head and sat up, but still a little drowsy, Xiao Ting quickly supported her and said: "Okay, it's all right, the sun is out, we can go back."
"oh oh."
As soon as the two got up, there was a male duck's voice from over there, "The emperor is here!"
"The empress is here!"
"The Empress Dowager is here!"
"..." followed by a series of arrivals.
Next is a worship feast.
Zhaohua woke up completely, grabbed Xiao Ting and jumped off the rooftop.
The empress dowager walked behind the emperor and asked: "I heard that the two girls were punished here, where are they?"
Everyone was still kneeling on the ground, and when they raised their heads, the two women had long since disappeared on the roof, only Xiao Guojiu was at a loss like a fool.
The nurse at the side immediately replied, "Return to the emperor and the empress dowager, the princess and the ninth concubine were still here just now!"
Someone with sharp eyes saw, "The emperor, empress, the princess and the others are over there."
Everyone looked and saw Zhao Hua and Xiao Ting holding hands and climbing up the rockery.
Anger appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and the golden hairpin she presented shook a few times, "Your Majesty, this is what you said. They already knew they were wrong, and they knelt here to reflect on it all night?"
"How do you look at me, are they still dreaming?"
"Come here, take their palace down."
The emperor looked at the queen mother embarrassingly, and acquiesced to this will.
From the rooftop to the imperial garden, from the small bridge to the rockery cliff, Xiao Ting and Princess Zhaohua were chased up and down, jumping up and down like monkeys.
"Ting'er, come up quickly."
Xiao Ting yelled: "Use your strength, I got my feet caught." They climbed to the rockery at this moment, Zhaohua was pulling her, and her feet were caught by someone.
"Oh, here they come."
On the rockery, someone chased him again, Xiao Ting hurriedly said: "Then let go and run."
Zhaohua let go, and Xiao Ting was pulled down, but fortunately she didn't fall, the man just breathed a sigh of relief when he was kicked away, Xiao Ting slipped through with her skirt in hand.
Zhaohua's martial arts were good, and the guards didn't dare to fight her, so they were always kicked and punched by her. Many people fell into the lake, some were carried on the branches of trees, and they were stepped on a few times, so they couldn't move.
On the other hand, Xiao Ting is much more pitiful. Although she has a good reputation, she is not very skilled after all, so she was caught several times.
But how could Xiao Ting be caught obediently, she bit and scolded, and she was eccentric, and everyone couldn't do anything to her for a while.
Seeing this, the queen fanned the wind and lit the fire beside her. The empress dowager was really angry, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite. If you don't work hard, you will be treated like accomplices."
When the chasing guards heard this, they wanted to cry, but they didn't have any tears. If you can't discipline the children yourself, you can take your anger out on them.
But this time it was really ruthless.
Zhaohua was quickly caught.
Xiao Ting climbed out of the dog hole under the rockery, and seeing Zhaohua was arrested, she knew she was going to die.
Many people rushed towards her, Xiao Ting immediately rushed to the heart lake next to her, and directly plunged down.
The water surface of Xinhu Lake is calm and clear. It is a scene of the imperial palace. It is guarded by guards on weekdays. It is the running water imported from outside the palace. There are large groups of lotus leaves in it.
When Xiao Ting jumped, everyone also jumped down, but the lotus leaves were too dense, and they couldn't find them for a while.
As time passed, the emperor was still watching the excitement at first, but now he was a little impatient, and glared at Zhaohua, "Can she know how to drink water?"
Zhaohua was taken aback for a moment, and then jumped up and shouted: "Father, save people quickly, Ting'er can't swim!"
At this time, the emperor was also impatient, let's not say that Xiao Ting is the Ninth Princess, the best friend of his daughter, just say that she is his sweetheart's treasure, he can't let her have an accident.
Last night when he punished Xiao Ting, he let him go to bed by himself. Today, the emperor didn't dare to look back at Concubine Xiao.
But at this moment, Concubine Xiao Gui had already waved her hands to let the water-savvy swimmers behind her go into the water.
For a while, the heart lake was full of people, people on the shore were talking in low voices, some were watching the fun, the water splashed in the lake, people were crowded, only heads popped out, it was very messy.
Xiao Ting hid under a large group of lotus leaves, carefully exposed her head, took a few breaths and then hid back. People around were vague, but fortunately there were plants, and more people muddied the water, so she couldn't see clearly.
Hearing Zhaohua's cry, she finally understood why she couldn't control her body when she jumped down. It turned out that the original owner couldn't swim.
Fortunately she will!
Just hide here, I will kill you all, that old witch is too hateful, if you catch an evil spirit in the future, you must put it in her palace first, and the queen, one for each of them, scare them to death.
Just as she was thinking like this, a figure suddenly floated in front of Xiao Ting. She was about to hide when she suddenly realized that this was not a fucking person, but a corpse.
"ah… "
With a scream, Xiao Ting backed away, but she forgot that she was under the water and was still holding her breath. The water got into her mouth, her head was swollen, her hands and feet were weak, and she became more and more drowsy.
Everyone searched around but couldn't find Xiao Ting, the emperor ordered the rest of the people to come up, so that Xiao Ting couldn't be seen in such chaos.
At this moment, someone heard an exclamation, and everyone in the water swam around quickly, looking for Xiao Ting.
"Ah, Tinger, it's Tinger."
Xiao Ting lost weight, her legs floated up, which was seen by Zhaohua.
That is the center of the lake, where the water is deepest.
"Hurry up and save people." The emperor was also so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he still wanted to hold his darling.
As for the empress dowagers and empresses, they have long since lost their voices.
It's one thing to be punished for causing trouble, but quite another to be killed.
Immediately also ordered everyone to go to rescue.
For a moment, the water splashing in the heart lake became more and more chaotic, Zhaohua became anxious when he saw it, jumped into the water with a plop, and swam forward.
Xiao Ting's figure just disappeared in a flash before sinking to the bottom of the lake without a trace.
"Tinger, Tinger, hold on!" Zhaohua shouted, but no one responded.
At this moment, a figure as graceful as a startled bird stepped over the shoulders of the crowd, floated past, plunged headlong into the center of the lake, and within a short while hugged a person out, spinning around to the opposite bank.
This figure came so suddenly and fast, with a light and agile figure, very elegant.
After everyone was stupid, someone recognized it.
"Yes, Ninth Prince..."
Concubine Xiao was the first to react, pushed the emperor away, and ran towards the opposite bank in a stumbling manner.
"Prince doctor, send the doctor quickly." The emperor also followed.
Xiao Ting was in a daze, only feeling that her whole body was warm and cold, which was very comfortable.
In particular, there is a faint scent of ink lingering at the tip of the nose, which is different from other ink smells, but has the breath of bamboo ink.
It smells good.
She loves it.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince was soaking wet, sitting under the willow tree by the heart lake, Xiao Ting was leaning in his arms, with a pair of small hands tightly wrapped around his waist.
The maids were breaking off her green fingers one by one, but they didn't dare to use force, they couldn't pull them apart for a while.
The imperial doctors next to him were in a hurry, they came for a long time, but the Ninth Concubine didn't let go of the Ninth Prince's waist, how could they diagnose the pulse
The Ninth Prince's face was calm, he looked down at a certain national treasure that was sleeping soundly in his arms, and then waved: "You all step back."
Then he lifted Xiao Ting up and threw it on his shoulder.
Everyone is stupid, is this how the Ninth Prince hugs people
Looking at the Lord, even though he was thrown like this, he still didn't let go of the Ninth Prince's waist. Everyone said that this was just for fun between husband and wife, and it was none of their business.
"Brother Huang, my younger brother will take her back to rest first, and then enter the palace to make amends at another day."
The Ninth Prince stood there in a green suit, with a person on his shoulders, but he remained calm and composed.
"Let's go!" The emperor felt that in the future, Zhaohua should be kept in contact with the nine concubines as little as possible.
Also, it is best not to let her enter the palace.
The emperor asked the queen to go back to rest with the queen mother, and the queen mother called away Princess Zhaohua who had caused a catastrophe.
The emperor ignored his daughter's eyes asking for help, and asked Concubine Xiao to follow him back with him.
Still the most important thing is to be careful.
Just as the masters were splitting into two groups and preparing to leave, another scream came from the heart lake.
It was Xiao Guo's uncle, Xiao Zhan, jumping from the center of the lake to the side, as if someone was chasing him.
"Ghost..."
"Uncle Guo, what's the matter?" Just now Xiao Ting fell into the water, Xiao Zhan naturally jumped for the first time, but he was unlucky, the cheap son-in-law rescued the good girl first, and he swam back slowly.
But he couldn't find the right direction for a while, and there were too many people in the confusion, so he swam to the center of the lake.
Unexpectedly, he saw a dead body lying quietly at the bottom of the lake. When he took a closer look, the dead body opened its eyes. It scared him so much that he jumped up and down and almost drowned.
After listening to him, the emperor immediately sent someone to check.
Sure enough, a female corpse was fished out from the bottom of the lake. Before the emperor sent someone to check the identity, the court lady who had been following Concubine Xiao suddenly yelled, "Peach branch, it's peach branch, empress."
