A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

What kind of insect is it and what kind of nest it makes.

If someone else spoke so arrogantly, the princes and grandchildren around him would definitely criticize him.

I will even file a complaint before His Majesty.

After all, Your Majesty has so many children and grandchildren, and his love and favor are limited. If you have more, he will have less. Those who are stupid will not be able to live well in the palace.

But the eighth prince has always been a simpleton in the palace.

Even though Concubine Zhu tried her best to cover it up, the Eighth Prince had not yet received his enlightenment in the Imperial Study, so on the surface, no one knew his worth.

But anyone who knows a little bit knows that the Eighth Prince is just like Concubine Zhu, a fool?

If you argue with a six-year-old fool who said some nonsense, not only would it be unfair, but you would also be considered as bullying the weak.

So the Seventh Prince put down the piece of meat in his hand unhappily and started scolding unhappily.

"Eighth brother, stop talking nonsense. Where do the insects come from? How can you know if they are invisible? This fish sashimi in the palace is the most delicious. Even father praised it. You just open your mouth and slander it. It's really rude and stupid. Why don't you shut up!"

The eighth prince pursed his lips in grievance and wanted to say something but held back.

Just at this moment, the palace servants brought a dish of osmanthus ice drink, which was the Eighth Prince's favorite. The Eighth Prince picked up the drink and started drinking it by himself.

As for the Seventh Prince, he did not touch the sashimi brought from the Eighth Prince.

As for the other princes and grandchildren who heard their conversation, they remained silent and did not touch the remaining fish sashimi.

Although they also thought that Xiao Ba was talking nonsense, they were a little scared when they saw his serious look.

Even some who had already eaten the whole plate now felt their stomachs churning, as if the fish they had eaten had started to grow worms and were rebelling in their stomachs.

Only Xiao Ba, the little ancestor, threw a few shocking words and immediately forgot them. He held the sweet and sour drink in his hand and sipped it happily, his eyes fixed on the lotus flowers on the lake...

It turns out that the lotus flowers on this lake were all transplanted from all over the dynasty. Not only do they come in various colors, but there are also many rare species. Among them, the twin lotus flowers are the most precious. The two lotus flowers blooming side by side are so beautiful that they also have great meanings. Therefore, they are considered the most precious treasures in this Huangzhuang Lake.

Every year, the female relatives of the empress would have the palace maids row small boats to the depths of the lotus fields to pick the most precious twin lotus flowers, and give them to one of the noble ladies.

This is naturally a supreme honor... In addition to owning these precious twin lotus flowers, it also represents another meaning, which is that this noble lady is about to get married and will soon receive a royal marriage.

In the past, which noble lady could receive this reward was actually a tacit agreement.

For example, if two royal families are planning to marry, they will ask His Majesty or the Queen to grant the marriage, and the royal family will generally give them face.

Or maybe an unmarried princess has reached the age to find a husband, or a prince or grandson of the emperor has taken a fancy to a noble lady, etc...

This year is certainly no exception.

The palace maids rowed a small boat to the depths of the lotus field and plucked the pair of lotus flowers covered with gauze.

Above the green waves, there are layers of lotus leaves with flowers in full bloom. Girls in palace dresses are picking them with smiles... Even though the Eighth Prince was only six years old, he could still stare at this scene with fascination.

At the women's table, a noble lady of about seventeen or eighteen years old was watching this scene nervously, with an unusual blush on her face.

When the young sisters sitting near her saw this, they all started to joke in low voices.

It is said that the second daughter of the prime minister's family was favored by the Sixth Prince and his mother, and His Majesty also nodded. Therefore, at this lotus banquet to grant marriage, the pair of lotus flowers will naturally fall on this noble lady's head.

Therefore, the noble ladies who were of similar age and knew each other, either joking or being sarcastic, made the noble lady from the prime minister's mansion even more shy, and she wished she could bury her head in the ground.

However, in just a moment, the situation changed.

Several noble ladies suddenly cried out in surprise...

It turned out that the boat that the palace maids were riding on was about to leave the lotus field when, for some unknown reason, it suddenly shook violently several times and even turned over.

After a period of chaos, the four palace maids were rescued one after another.

The three palace maids were merely frightened and soaked. After confessing their crimes, they went downstairs to change their clothes.

But the palace maid who was holding the lotus tightly in her hands was drowning too much and had no breath left!

It was a nice lotus banquet, but someone died!

Although she was just a small palace maid of low status, such a thing happened suddenly in such a joyful and peaceful occasion with hundreds of people paying attention, which really made people feel bored.

Especially the second daughter of the prime minister who was destined to be the twin lotus, her face was not flushed at this moment, but had turned from red to white, and then from white to blue as the situation developed.

She was originally going to be the Sixth Prince's consort!

This kind of thing happened before the marriage was even finalized.

What would His Majesty think? What would the Imperial Concubine and the Sixth Prince think?

It is uncertain whether she can still be the Sixth Prince's consort!

The old emperor’s eyesight was not very good and he did not see the whole process clearly.

But after hearing the report, he waved his hand and said, "Let the imperial physician take a look!"

Originally, the eunuchs and maids in the palace were not qualified to be treated by the imperial physician even if they were seriously ill.

However, if a noble person like His Majesty, the Crown Prince, or the Imperial Concubine has the order, that would be another matter.

The old emperor is now old and has become more lenient in his actions.

Especially on an occasion like today when we are enjoying a leisurely life, it really shouldn't happen that someone dies and ruins the mood.

However, although the old emperor was extremely tolerant, after the imperial physician took the pulse, he still shook his head helplessly and said to the palace servant who was kneeling on the ground holding the dead palace maid, "There is no hope of saving her."

The palace maid was shocked and dared not refute out loud, but two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

The several palace maids who picked lotus today were all good at swimming!

Who could have imagined that a job that used to be foolproof could actually be life-threatening!

"Artificial respiration!"

Suddenly a child's voice was heard, startling the imperial physician and palace maids.

"Eighth, Eighth Prince?"

The one who came running towards them was actually the eighth prince in the palace who had not yet gone to school!

This Eighth Prince is truly a fool and audacious. He dares to approach even though he knows there is a dead person!

"Don't come over here, Eighth Prince. Be careful of getting in the way!"

The group of people were even more frightened. If a little palace maid died, they would just get scolded, but if anything happened to the Eighth Prince, they would all lose their lives!
