The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

“As a small retainer in Prince Yao’s palace, I dare not speak carelessly about the affairs of the court.” Gu Nianzhi turned around, avoiding Shu Huaiyuan’s gaze, and walked towards the lake.

Seeing that Gu Nianzhi didn't want to continue this topic, Shu Huaiyuan didn't ask any more questions, but immediately chased after him.

"Although this lake is not big, it is very clear." Standing by the lake, Gu Nianzhi pointed at several fish that were visible to the naked eye swimming in the lake and said excitedly, "These fish are also very fat."

"Want to eat?"

"Can we eat them?" Gu Nianzhi turned around, his eyes sparkling. "I'm not asking if the fish in this lake can be eaten, but I want to ask, can we eat them?"

"of course can."

Shu Huaiyuan turned around and began to pick up dead branches from all around. He gathered them together and selected the forked branches among them. Somehow he built a sturdy grill.

After doing this, he took out a tinder, lit the dead leaves to start a fire, and piled the dead wood next to it.

"It will take a while for the fire to burn brightly. I'll go to the lake and catch some fish during this time."

"I can't even catch the fish in the tank, but you can catch fish with your bare hands?" Gu Nianzhi went to the market to buy fish, but even with a net bag, she could never catch the most lively fish she liked.

“Isn’t there a tool for this?”

Shu Huaiyuan picked up a long and straight branch and sharpened one end with a knife. Then he took off his shoes and socks, lifted his coat and put it around his waist, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked straight into the lake.

Gu Nianzhi stood by the lake and saw Shu Huaiyuan standing motionless in the lake. Suddenly, he thrust the branch in his hand into the lake. When he lifted it up again, there was a struggling fish on the other end of the branch.

Shu Huaiyuan held the branch in one hand and took the fish off the branch with the other. He stretched out his arm, and the fish drew a perfect parabola in the air and landed precisely at Gu Nianzhi's feet. The fish bent its body and struggled a few times, scaring Gu Nianzhi so much that he took a few small steps back.

"Here it comes again!" Along with Shu Huaiyuan's voice, another fish flew over.

"Are the fish here so stupid? I want to give it a try too." Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt playful. Seeing that Shu Huaiyuan caught two fish so easily, she also wanted to show off her fishing skills.

Shu Huaiyuan smiled, went ashore, and handed the branch in his hand to Gu Nianzhi: "Go and try it."

Shu Huaiyuan then picked up two fish, gutted them, pierced them with branches, placed them over the fire, and slowly rotated them while slowly roasting the fish, his eyes looking at Gu Nianzhi in the lake.

Gu Nianzhi imitated Shu Huaiyuan's initial behavior and tried several times but to no avail.

"How could this happen? General Shu, teach me!"

Shu Huaiyuan walked over and stood in the lake with Gu Nianzhi.

"You don't need to move around. Just stand here and wait for the right moment. When they swim within your reach, stab them at them at high speed, and you will naturally reap the rewards." Shu Huaiyuan pointed to a stone at the bottom of the lake. "Before the fish come, see how you can stab the stone with your fork."

Gu Nianzhi looked in the direction of the stone and moved the branch over there. He found that there was a distance of about a palm between the branch and the stone he saw.

"There is a difference between the position of the stone we see from the lake surface and the actual position of the stone. The same is true for fish. So, if you remember the current position difference and reserve this distance when spearing fish, it will be easier to spear them."

Shu Huaiyuan stood behind Gu Nianzhi, holding Gu Nianzhi's hand holding the branch tightly, and aimed at a fish swimming leisurely in front of him. With a sudden force, the branch really caught another fish when it came out of the water.

"Oh my god, General Shu, you are so awesome!" Gu Nianzhi turned around with a look of admiration on his face.

Shu Huaiyuan was very pleased with this admiration. He took the fish with a smile and went ashore: "You can practice more on your own."

"General Shu, I declare that from now on, you are my riding master and my spearfishing master!" Gu Nianzhi shouted.

With a smile on his face, Shu Huaiyuan returned to the fire and continued grilling the fish.

Gu Nianzhi received personal instruction from Shu Huaiyuan and thought he could hit the target with every strike, but he failed several times in a row.

Unconsciously, she followed the fish and went deeper and deeper.

At first the water was only a palm deep above the knees, but slowly it reached the thighs.

“I don’t believe I can’t spear you!” Gu Nianzhi thrust the branch forward again. The fish turned flexibly and avoided the branch, but Gu Nianzhi did not spear the bottom of the lake as expected. He lost his balance and fell into the lake.

This is where the lake cliffs.

About 10 to 20 meters away from the lake, the water gradually deepens, and the deepest point is only up to a person's hips. But half a meter further forward, there is a cliff below, and the depth of the lake suddenly increases to three or four meters.

Gu Nianzhi had no experience and her attention was only on the swimming fish. She didn't notice the change in the color of the lake water at all. When she fell into the water, she couldn't even reach the bottom of the lake with her hands and feet, which made her panic.

Gu Nianzhi, who could hardly swim, had his long clothes soaked by the lake water. At this moment, the clothes soaked with water seemed as heavy as a deadly weight. Gu Nianzhi tried his best to float to the surface, but a lot of water went into his nose. He began to cough involuntarily, which made more water enter his mouth and nose...

Fortunately, the sound in the lake alarmed Shu Huaiyuan. He immediately took off his coat, ran over, and rescued the almost semi-conscious Gu Nianzhi from the water.

Gu Nianzhi seemed to have lost consciousness. Shu Huaiyuan quickly unbuttoned her coat, turned her over, and controlled the water for her. A lot of lake water flowed out of Gu Nianzhi's mouth and nose. Shu Huaiyuan turned her over again, laid her flat on the lakeshore, and then pressed his hands on her chest to try to get her heartbeat back.

But this feeling seems to be a little wrong.

The wet clothes clung to Gu Nianzhi's body. Although she used a cloth strip to bind her chest, a woman's breasts were different from men's after all. When she pressed her chest, she could still clearly feel the unique softness of a woman's breasts.

Shu Huaiyuan retracted his hand in fear.

But, people cannot be saved.

He bravely pulled open the collar of Gu Nianzhi's clothes, and indeed saw the bra strips and the slightly raised curves that only women have.

Shu Huaiyuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mr. Gu... is actually... a woman?"
