Although the people sent by Shen Ge to spread the news fell into the water one after another, so that those who swam to report the news could only swim more than ten feet.
But this is Shen Garden after all, an elegant gathering of the Shen family. When the stewards saw that their master was late in arriving and all the distinguished guests had not been heard from, they would wait at first, but after a long time they naturally realized something was wrong.
No matter whether the master has something to do or not, they, the subordinates, always come to see him.
And if you don't know it, you will find that your master and all the nobles are about to sink.
Isn't it just a shipwreck?
At present, except for people like Mu Qingze who have good self-preservation skills or are very lucky, those who did not rush onto the Shen Ge Painted Boat in the first place are still on the tilted Painted Boat. The river water is almost over their calves. .
It's not that they don't want to rush onto those sloping boats again, but these boats either float away, or they may sink if they get on them.
So they could only watch the river flow over their calves little by little, making their gorgeous, elegant, or plain clothes wet and dirty.
Looking at the distorted faces and the Shen family servants who were driving crazy to the wreckage, Feng Xi finally said regretfully:
"People have joys and sorrows, and cows and horses embellish life. Tsk, it's really my fault for not letting these good cows and horses sink to the bottom."
As she said that, she ignored the looks of those with sharp eyes and ears, tilted her head directly to Qi Xiao beside her and said:
"Boss Qi, you are so cunning, cunning, scheming, and black-hearted...our boat must run faster than those of those horses and oxen, right?"
Qi Xiao smiled:
"Have you ever praised anyone so much? Little Phoenix."
Feng Xi nodded: "Yes, isn't this the case with me?"
Qi Xiao: "..."
Fine.
Little Phoenix wanted to be faster than those horses and oxen, could he not help her achieve it?
"Major General, Third Princess, we subordinates are late, please punish us..."
While Qi Xiao arranged for Qin Zhui and others to take up positions so that he could use his internal force to push the boat forward, the three boats sent by the Shen family to find people finally passed them and arrived in front of Shen Ge and others.
Although Shen Ge looked livid at this moment, he did not get angry at his subordinates.
Because he knew that their late arrival was not due to dereliction of duty, but because the news from his side was delayed in getting out.
The fact that they can come has already solved his urgent need.
Of course, when he arrives at Shenyuan, he must investigate the matter of the painting boat.
"Wanyin, be careful. And Wanwan, aren't you just a little wet on your skirt? It's okay."
Before the boat was drawn, Su Daolin was supporting Xie Wanyin with both hands. While sending him to the boat, he called his sister to follow him quickly.
Looking down at Su Daolin's hand holding his wrist, Xie Wanyin's eyes flashed with displeasure.
However, things turned out to be right. If Su Daolin hadn't asked her to stand where the boat sank, and even Su Wanwan hadn't bothered to support her, she would have been fine at this moment.
But when she looked up at Feng Xi, who was playing with Qi Zhuo not far away and even eating peanuts that Qi Zhuo peeled, she couldn't help but clench her hands under her sleeves.
It was obvious that she met A Xiao first, that she had stayed in Hanyuguan for three full years, and that Mrs. Qi felt that she was the most suitable person to accompany A Xiao...
Seeing Qi Xiao reaching out to touch Feng Xi's head, and then retracting it when Feng Xi stretched out her hand to hit him, Xie Wanyin's clenched hand slowly relaxed.
She no longer let herself suffer, but slowly lowered her head, hiding all the malice in her eyes.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from beside her.
"Thank you, Miss Second, please watch the road carefully, don't miss the mark."
Xie Wanyin looked up and saw the eldest prince Feng Yunxuan standing beside her, still looking gentle and polite.
"Thank you, eldest prince, for the heads up. Wan Yin will be careful."
Xie Wanyin slowly stood on the boat. Even though he knew that the eldest prince was very marginalized in the royal family, Xie Wanyin did not forget to salute him.
"What's there to thank you for? Isn't it our duty to guide beautiful women?"
Feng Yunxuan smiled, but quickly changed the subject:
"Yunxuan just saw that Miss Xie Er has been looking at my fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law. He also knows that you are an old acquaintance of the fifth brother-in-law's family. Why didn't you go with them to Shenyuan? What if it's because of the stupid things Mr. Xie did before? , Fifth sister, don’t you think you don’t want to see every member of the Xie family?”
It must be said that Feng Yunxuan's words touched Xie Wanyin's heart.
Isn’t that what it is?
It was obviously the fault of the third wife, but it caused her to avoid suspicion.
Of course, the culprit is still Feng Xi...
"The eldest prince doesn't know something. His Highness Zhaoming has always had a prejudice against Wan Yin. Not to mention now, it was difficult for Wan Yin to go with her in the past. As for A Xiao, even if he wants to help me, he can't."
"I see."
Hearing what Xie Wanyin said, Feng Yunxuan immediately became interested:
"That's right, the fifth sister's temperament... that's all. I don't know how the fifth brother-in-law tolerates it till now. It's really a pain for you, Miss Wan Yin..."
In the past, Xie Wanyin only thought that the eldest prince was quite inconspicuous, and he could not be found among the crowd.
But today, just a few words gave her a sense of familiarity at first sight.
Just like that, Feng Yunxuan naturally joined Xie Wanyin and the others, temporarily forming a small group.
Although Su Daolin was unhappy, he also knew that with the prince together, their position would definitely be the best.
So he held back.
On the other hand, Mu Qingze, who was on the same boat with them, was still unscathed. Not only him, but also the maid Yao Guang beside him.
"Master still had the foresight to let Miss Yao enter the Shen Garden with Miss Shen yesterday. If not, wouldn't the young lady who doesn't know how to swim also be frightened by this?"
Yaoguang has served Mu Qingze for many years, and when he saw his master's face, he knew that he was not very happy at the moment.
So as soon as her thoughts changed, she immediately picked out some good things to say.
Sure enough, Mu Qingze's face actually looked a little better because of this.
As all the distinguished guests were transferred onto the ship, the three painted boats set off again.
However, just like everyone agreed, no one mentioned Feng Xi and others whose boat was also damaged and even the pole was missing.
Many of the children of aristocratic families even looked over there with teasing eyes, feeling that they were enjoying the words "You used to ignore me, but now we make it impossible for you to reach high."
They really wanted to see Feng Xi beg them to let her on the boat, and then wait until they were happy and then reject her as hard as Feng Xi rejected them just now.
Isn't she crazy?
After a while, everyone entered the garden, but only the people from the Princess Protector's Mansion were still floating on the river, looking at how arrogant she was!
Then they saw Qi Xiao raise his hand gracefully, and then several guards led by Qin Zhui changed their hands and pushed Qi Jin towards the blue waves under the boat.
And Feng Xi, who wanted to cry and beg them in their minds, was leisurely waving to them from the bow of the boat:
"There are so many cows and horses in Shen Yuan that we can make a table of cows and horses. You cows and horses continue on. I and Boss Qi have taken the first step~"
Everyone: "..."
What should I do? I really want to hit her!
