The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The fighting in the harem never stops because of someone's arrival.

When the Queen said this, she glanced at Xuanyuan Yuqing casually and nodded slightly, as if smiling: "If Concubine Hu's child was still alive, he would be the same age as Qing'er. It's a pity that he didn't come to this world to take a look."

Concubine De seemed to be lost in memories, and said gloomily, "Back then, Concubine Hu and I both thought that this baby would be blessed by the Empress and be born smoothly. We were just thinking of picking out some good fabrics to make clothes for the child. We never thought that the child would be unlucky and bring trouble to his mother."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes slightly, with reddening corners of his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Queen sneered: "Sister, you are so affectionate and loyal. No wonder you can't forget the Emperor even though you chant Buddha's name every day and don't leave the palace."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De just snorted softly.

Hu Luanfei and princesses from various countries came to Beiqiu to celebrate the Queen's birthday, but after hearing such "courtesy" words, they suddenly couldn't find words to attract the prince who was distracted, and they just stood there at a loss.

Hu Luanfei was silent in her heart, secretly admiring the fact that the masters of palace fighting in the previous term were able to climb to the position of concubine and raise their sons successfully. It really was worth their ability to open their eyes and attract hatred.

But she couldn't sit still at the moment, and wanted to admire the flowers and feed the fish. While she was hesitating, Princess Nanqi held her sleeve tightly and said, "Princess Zhan, let's go for a walk over there."

Hu Luanfei curled his fingertips slightly, not knowing whether to refuse or go together.

But now that she was being dragged away by Princess Nanqi, she had no room for hesitation. So she slowly looked at Xuanyuan Yuqing and motioned him to follow.

The carp pond is covered with a thick layer of ice in winter.

Princess Nanqi and she came to the rockery and threw a small stone onto the frozen surface of the pool.

Even though Hu Luanfei was sharp-tongued and outgoing, he found it difficult to find topics to talk about when he was in the same space with a stranger he had never met before. He stood there, waiting for Xuanyuan Yuqing helplessly.

Princess Nanqi slowly turned her head and looked at her with her bright eyes. "My Lady Princess, if the pond is frozen, can the carp still survive?"

Hu Luanfei smiled and explained, "There are all kinds of weeds at the bottom of the pond, and it's not stagnant water. Some fish will hibernate when the pond freezes in winter, and will be alive and kicking again when the snow melts in the spring. Princess, don't worry."

"I want to say that the same is true for flowers and plants." Princess Nanqi took out a flower-patterned hairpin from her sleeve and intended to insert it into Hu Luanfei's bun. "This flower hairpin is the national flower of my Nanqi country. It is extremely noble and cannot be worn by anyone other than royal relatives and nobles."

Hu Luanfei took a step back and dodged. "Your Majesty's good intentions are in vain. I have always advocated frugality. The hairpin and hairband on my head are already eye-catching enough. If I put a hairpin on it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for me."

As they were trying to refuse, Xuanyuan Yuqing and a group of princesses came towards them.

Hu Luanfei felt relieved and was about to raise her hand to greet him, but Princess Nanqi suddenly lost her balance and fell on her.

"Crack--"

Hu Luanfei fell into the carp pond without any preparation. The ice was too thin and cracked because it could not support the weight of the two people.

The cold pool water rushed in from all directions, drowning the two of them in an instant.

The bone-chilling cold enveloped Hu Luanfei. She was not a good swimmer and struggled desperately after falling into the water. The little air she had left was lost as she could no longer stay afloat.

She opened her eyes in panic. In the muddy water where fish and shrimp were scattered, Princess Nanqi stared at her with malicious eyes.

Hu Luanfei then realized that she was being controlled. Princess Nanqi was on top of her, with her legs wrapped around her waist and her hands pinching her neck...

Panicked as she was murdered, Hu Luanfei tried to struggle, but her arms and legs froze like sculptures. She could no longer hold back and opened her mouth, sinking fast, and water began to fill her lungs. The water she inhaled burned in her lungs and brain like lava.

She tried to look up at the sunlight, but saw nothing. Suddenly she realized that she might not be able to go up.

Princess Nanqi is very strong and good at swimming. She knows how to subdue a person in water.

Hu Luanfei's body began to become limp and weak, his mind went blank, and he gave up all struggles.

At this moment, she felt that her heart and lungs might be failing. There was no pain, only endless darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, there was an inexplicable burst of energy.

Her body felt light, as if she was rising. The will to survive reappeared. Unlike her previous desperate struggle, she could clearly feel that she was rising very quickly and with great strength.

When she surfaced, she suddenly realized that this burst of energy was because she was saved by Xuanyuan Yuqing.

After taking a quick breath, he coughed.

The empress and concubines who came running over exclaimed, "It's Concubine Hu!"

Concubine De couldn't believe it and said, "Twenty years ago, Concubine Hu was also rescued in this way."

The Queen hurriedly said, "Send it to Nuanchun Pavilion first, quickly!"

Before his last consciousness faded, Hu Luanfei remembered that Princess Nanqi had torn off his veil when he was struggling in the water.

The princesses from various countries were very puzzled and discussed the issue along the way.

The news of falling into the water soon spread to Zhaoyang Palace.

When Hu Luanfei woke up, the lights in Nuanchun Pavilion were bright and warm as spring. He had already changed his wet clothes, but he was still wiping his hair.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Qi Si Liao's dark and worried eyes. He just stared at her like a piece of wood, repeating the movements of his hands, and even when she woke up, he didn't react in time.

It's rare to see him like this, he's so worried that he's even growing stubble.

"How come you look so haggard in just a few hours?"

Hu Luanfei stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his face.

Qi Siliao paused slightly, his pupils focused, and his gaze met the bright black eyes of the person lying on the bed. His throat seemed to be choked, his lips trembled slightly, and he was unable to utter a word for a long time.

Hu Luanfei couldn't help laughing out loud, "Prince, you have to wake up..."

After confirming that Hu Luanfei had really woken up, Qi Siliao's tense body relaxed immediately. He held the little hand on his face tightly, his eyes fixed on her. Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for too long, his voice was slightly hoarse: "You have been sleeping for three days. The doctor said that if you don't wake up, you will become a sleeping beauty in the future."

Hearing this, Hu Luanfei chuckled: "It's just right for the prince."

There are such foolish people in the world who can laugh out loud even when being plotted against. They are so stupid.

Hu Luanfei finally understood what was going on when he saw Qi Siliao come to his senses and look so serious. He was immediately terrified and quickly sat up, grabbing his hand.

"The princess from Nanqi pushed me into the water. When I was about to float to the surface, she reacted so quickly that she pulled my dress down, turned me over, and strangled me."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and seemed to be in a state of panic and fear.

Qi Si Liao couldn't hold back any longer and held her in his arms and swore: "I will seek justice for you."
