It was obvious that he had already covered himself with a lot of powder in the morning. Xia Lang replied in a dry tone, ”I went to the Assistant Minister’s Residence for a banquet that day, and had some arguments with Liu Se and Nangong Waner. I'm fine, I'll be going down in a few days.”
Qin Ruxue looked at Xia Lang Lang with a somewhat intimate expression, ”I say that you are someone who understands how to tolerate things, and that you must review the situation. That Lord Assistant Minister of the Department is currently flourishing, it would be better if you did not provoke that Nangong Waner.” With that, Qin Ruxue gently smiled and left, continuing to greet others.
Xia Lang looked at Qin Ruxue's leaving figure and pondered over his words repeatedly, then looked at the nearby Liu Se and Nangong Waner who were happily walking towards them. That Nangong Waner was extremely beautiful today, to the point that she was actually not much weaker than Qin Ruxue. She unconsciously touched the scar on her forehead, clenched her fists, and quietly retreated into the darkness.
Nangong Waner could also feel that after walking around in the circle of noble ladies with Liu Ruo, everyone was looking at him with a intriguing gaze, trying to curry favor with him. A little to please? Thinking about his recent reputation, it didn't seem like it was worth it for him to curry favor with him. Just as she was puzzled, Liu Ru pulled her along while greeting the surrounding people with a face full of smiles. She secretly explained to her in private, ”Your father has been flourishing in the Imperial Court recently. We are the family elders' vassals, so naturally we have to curry favor with you when the wind blows.”
After Nangong Waner heard Liu Zhi's words, he speechlessly held his forehead and could not help but be silently critical of himself, ”Can't you live a little easier?”
The two of them did not really care about the banquet, and turned around in the Prime Minister's courtyard. In the distance, Liu Zhexiu and Nangong Waner also saw Xia Lang, and seeing that Xia Lang was hiding in the shadows, Liu Zhuo and Nangong Waner also intentionally went around to avoid the banquet. It would be better if they did not cause any trouble.
Liu Ru suddenly saw that the Prime Minister's Palace really had raised a great carp with a lake, and immediately shouted for Nangong Waner to take a look.
At this time, the people surrounded the lakeside in groups of twos and threes. Nangong Waner looked at the densely packed and very lively Golden Carp in the middle of the lake and was very happy. He called out to Ju Xiang to get some rations, causing him to lie on the lakeside railing and start feeding the fish.
He didn't know what kind of commotion had broken out by the lake, or in the middle of the crowd.
A young miss stepped on her skirt and fell down on a young maid beside her. The young maid pressed down on her and the young miss pressed down on her as well …
”Oh no, the Assistant Minister’s Residence has fallen into the lake!” It was unknown who shouted, but Ju Xiang and Liu Zhe anxiously went to look for him. Seeing that Nangong Waner was not by the lake, they quickly called for people.
”Putong ~ ~” The crowd didn't see clearly, it seemed like Young Master Xiao from the Minister of Industry's family had jumped into the lake to save them. A moment later, they saw another figure jump in, ”Putong ~ ~” They thought they were seeing things, ”That …” that is not the Prince Zhan? ” Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. ”Could it be that the rumors were true? Didn't the two of them separate after seeing each other? ”
Everyone seemed to have temporarily forgotten what had happened in the lake. They all lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
Nangong Waner who was underwater naturally could not hear their discussion. When he fell down, he sighed silently in his heart, ”Damn, could it be that I am really fated for death?”
Nangong Waner struggled for a few moments before fainting on the spot. Slowly, Nangong Waner floated down to the surface, and when she started to lose consciousness, she suddenly saw a flash of light in front of her, ”I don't know if I'll die or die,” just as she was thinking that, as Chu Xiuhan swam towards her, she actually felt that Chu Xiuhan was so warm that she immediately fainted with a smile.
Chu Xiuhan was startled when he saw Nangong Waner, and immediately swam over. Using his tongue to roll around, he pried open Nangong Waner's tightly-shut mouth. Chu Xiuhan carried Nangong Waner and quickly swam upstream, at the same time using his mouth to touch Nangong Waner's lips and air for him.
