Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The prince was slightly surprised to see Huimin here: "Awu, you are here too."

Huimin blinked, a smile on her lips.

"I heard that today's lotus viewing banquet was organized by my brother himself, so of course I have to come and take a look."

The prince stroked Huimin's soft hair with a smile on his face, showing some doting intent.

Everyone was a little surprised. They had heard earlier that the Queen and Concubine Shu were not on good terms, but they didn't expect that the Crown Prince had such a good relationship with the princess born to Concubine Shu.

Jiamin pouted and pretended to be angry: "Humph, Prince brother only thinks about A Wu and doesn't care about me at all!"

The prince looked at his unhappy sister again, smiled and tapped her forehead: "I care, of course I don't care. I came back from Jiangnan this time and brought you some gifts. I have sent someone to deliver them to your bedroom."

At this time, a guard came forward to report that the prince's childhood friend Yu Si had returned from the expedition and had come to see him to reminisce about the past.

The prince's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy, and he said to Lu Yan, "Let's go, that kid hasn't been back for several years, and I don't know if he has changed. Let's go meet him."

The prince took Lu Yan away. The noble ladies all looked a little disappointed, but seeing that Princess Changning was still there, they also wanted to make friends with her, so they invited the princess to go to the largest waterside pavilion in the center of the lake for a visit.

The bridge, which was once very lively, now only had a few people left.

Huimin saw that there was still one person who had not left, and realized that it was the person who had just saved Tuanrong. She smiled and said a few polite words.

"Thank you very much, sir. May I know your name?"

Chu Yu smiled slowly and revealed the identity of this body.

"My name is Zhang Pingzhi."

Jiamin nodded in understanding and said to her sister, "It's Zhang Zhuangyuan."

Shen Zhaozhao nestled in Huimin's arms, and seeing Chu Yu's humble and gentlemanly demeanor, he couldn't help but snort.

It’s true, even though Zhang Pingzhi has an ordinary appearance, Chu Yu’s heart makes him exude the temperament of an elegant lady.

An imperceptible chuckle spread out.

"The princess's kitten is very cute. Could you please take her somewhere else to play?"

Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyes and looked at Jiamin.

Yes!

she wants!

She is at a loss as to what to do in this situation now, so she wants to ask Chu Yu if he has any clues!

Jiamin didn't know why, but she saw some impatience in Tuanrong's eyes, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Zhang Zhuangyuan."

Shen Zhaozhao raised his little face high and meowed.

"Why don't you come and hug me?"

Anyway, she is a cat now, and this cat is lazy and always needs to be held in her arms, so she is too lazy to move.

"Come on, I'll hug you then."

Chu Yu took her, thanked her, and then carried Shen Zhaozhao to an empty pavilion.

Shen Zhaozhao was in a dilemma. She was speaking cat language now and didn't know how to communicate with Chu Yu.

"How to do?"

Chu Yu lowered his head and curled his lips: "What should I do?"

Shen Zhaozhao's eyes lit up and he praised sincerely.

"Chu Yu, you are amazing. You can even understand cat language."

Chu Yu smiled and said, "You are not a real cat."

Oh, okay.

Chu Yu held her in his arms and sat on the stone bench, gently combing her fur.

Shen Zhaozhao squinted his eyes comfortably, thinking that being a cat was pretty good.

Thinking of the business, she asked, "How can we wake up the Marquis?"

"Hmm." Chu Yu looked at a certain place and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, just follow the illusion to the end. There will be a good show soon, do you want to watch it?"

Seeing Chu Yu's indifferent look, Shen Zhaozhao felt relieved, as if he really knew a way to wake Lu Yan up.

He said there was going to be some good show, which aroused Shen Zhaozhao's interest.

She is always like this, she likes to watch the fun.

Shen Zhaozhao followed Chu Yu's line of sight and saw a familiar figure.

Who was that person looking around furtively in the corridor but her former good son—Jia Sifan?

That’s right, since Jia Sifan became the runner-up, it’s not surprising that he came here to enjoy the lotus.

The location here is excellent. Shen Zhaozhao saw Jia Sifan looking towards the water pavilion with a slightly panicked look. When his eyes found the elegant figure, his face lit up with joy and he quickly walked towards the water pavilion.

As they got closer to Princess Changning, Jia Sifan became cautious again, and his behavior almost made Shen Zhaozhao think that he was going to steal.

The noble ladies surrounded Princess Changning and flattered her. Princess Jiamin and Princess Huimin were also there admiring the lotus.

Jiamin seemed to have suddenly seen something and pulled Huimin's arm with joy.

Shen Zhaozhao saw Huimin walking in the direction Jiamin pointed, and just at that moment Jia Sifan stumbled and bumped into Huimin.

Huimin tried to control her body from falling backwards, so she pushed forward with both hands and actually pushed towards Princess Changning.

Princess Changning was caught off guard, flipped over the railing, and fell into the lake with a "splash".

Everyone didn't react for a moment, until they saw someone struggling in the water, they started to get anxious and shouted in panic to save the princess.

A green figure flashed by, and there was another sound of falling into the water. Shen Zhaozhao looked into the lake and could only see a man swimming towards Princess Changning.

Jiamin grabbed Huimin at the critical moment.

Seeing that her sister looked pale and as if she had lost her soul, Jiamin quickly hugged her in her arms to comfort her.

Beads of sweat began to appear on Huimin's forehead, and her little face was full of pain.

She was frightened and had palpitations. She could only hunch over to relieve the pain. The pain was unbearable and she fainted.

The scene was in chaos for a moment, and Jia Sifan's face was full of panic. He hurried out to avoid suspicion in the chaos.

Someone else went to look for the prince, and there was trouble at the banquet, and those who were present were not free from responsibility.

Princess Changning was rescued, but the material of her clothes was special. It looked very luxurious at ordinary times, but it was as thin as a cicada's wing after getting wet. When the man rescued her, he couldn't help but see some things he shouldn't see.

The man took off his outer robe and put it on Princess Changning in time, but everyone saw the rescue scene just now.

Someone saw the man's appearance clearly and exclaimed, "It's Master Pei!"

Everyone present turned their eyes to Pei Yan, then looked at the unconscious Princess Huimin, and it was hard to tell what expression appeared on their faces.

Although the emperor's decree to grant marriage to Princess Huimin and Pei Yan has not yet come down, everyone has already received the news.

The princess's husband, who was supposed to be Princess Huimin's consort, saved her sister, and the two of them had skin contact, which really damaged Princess Changning's reputation.

"It seems that the marriage between Princess Huimin and Pei Tanhua is going to be cancelled." Someone sighed.

Shen Zhaozhao's hair almost exploded when watching this; the scene was truly frightening.

"why?"

Shen Zhaozhao couldn't understand. This accident was obviously premeditated, but why did Jia Sifan push Princess Changning into the water?

She saw clearly that Jia Sifan wanted to push Changning from the beginning, but Huimin happened to pass by.

"Don't be nervous, this has already happened." Chu Yu helped Shen Zhaozhao to calm her down, "The Pei family didn't want to marry a princess who was dying, and the queen also had her own plans, so they found Jia Sifan, who was the easiest to control, to stage this scene together."

Shen Zhaozhao looked intently at the man who was soaked all over but had a look of concern for Princess Changning.

"So Pei Yan knew about this?" Or was he the one who planned this?

Chu Yu recalled that when he was in Pei Mansion, Pei Yan had said without hesitation that he would never marry the short-lived princess.

Who could have imagined that the jade-like gentleman Pei Yan, who was praised by everyone, had such a violent temper in private.

"he knows."

Shen Zhaozhao was a little angry inside. Huimin even said that she wanted to ask Pei Yan's opinion, but it turned out that Pei Yan already had his own plans.

The prince and several others rushed over and saw that his younger sister was sobbing and the other sister was unconscious. He immediately frowned and ordered the two princesses to be sent to the room and the imperial physician to treat them.

At this moment, Shen Zhaozhao saw Princess Changning looking at Lu Yan with tearful eyes, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

After the people left, Lu Yan stared at the wet marks on the ground where Princess Changning had lain for a long time, with a bitter look on his face.

Shen Zhaozhao's heart tightened, so... Lu Yan seemed to have feelings for Princess Changning.
