"Bu Ji! You...you you gurgle..."

Princess Fuqiu was drowned and couldn't even open her eyes. She never thought that the other party would jump down with her.

Listening to that hypocritical nonsense, I was about to speak angrily, but I was pushed into the water and stared into the eyes of the fat-headed koi.

After a few rounds, she felt full and finally didn't dare to open her mouth easily.

This bitch wants to starve her to death!

"Queen!"

Several palace maids who could swim had already gone down, but Li'er was a landlubber and could only stand there and worry.

In contrast, Fu Wanyue was much calmer and stood aside in silence.

She couldn't make up her mind whether to save the Queen and Princess Fuqiu. It would be a good thing for her if either of them drowned.

She was also surprised when the Queen Mother indicated that she should be the Queen.

If the previous batch of concubines had not been driven out, she would not have been able to enjoy such a good thing.

The choice of queen has always been from several prominent families such as the Lin family, the Fucha family, and the Cui family.

The Fu family was just an inconspicuous fourth-rank official family with no achievements. The whole family was honest people. The daughter they gave birth to was not outstanding in appearance and could not even be seen standing in the crowd.

Just as she was hesitating whether to take off her outer garment and go into the water, a scream suddenly came from behind her amid the bustling crowd.

"…Your Majesty?"

The young and handsome emperor only took a glance at him and frowned.

Without saying a word, he took off his outer robe and seemed to be ready to go into the water himself.

Wang Huai was horrified and hurriedly knelt down in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!"

"Please take care of yourself!!"

"The Queen will have her own palace maids to rescue her."

"Go away."

Li Ji threw his outer robe at him and walked away.

Bu Ji, who was soaking in the water, did not expect that the emperor would come down in person. He did not dare to delay any longer and began to approach the group of palace servants on his own initiative.

She moved very gently.

But the emperor was quite observant, and his eyes fixed on her almost the moment she moved.

His face was still calm, with no visible emotions. He carried Bu Ji out of the water. The water was still shallow, only up to the knees, so it was not a big deal.

"Let Wei Zhen come over."

The emperor didn't even look at Princess Fuqiu, his mind was all on the Empress.

Upon seeing this, several palace maids quickly approached and supported Princess Fuqiu.

Princess Fuqiu, who was half pulled and half dragged, had already lost all her strength and was as limp as a dead fish.

How could she be so good at handling things? From childhood to adulthood, she had always been followed by a group of palace maids, eunuchs and old nannies, and she didn't have to do anything by herself.

The only suffering she had experienced in her life was that she was tricked by Wang Huai into leaving the palace to look for the emperor, but she couldn't find him after searching for several rounds.

Bu Ji loosened his hand at the right moment, and Princess Fuqiu began to sob softly.

She was born gentle and graceful, with a pair of misty almond-shaped eyes, which made her look even more pitiful.

Seeing this, the palace servants couldn't help but be more cautious in their actions.

Finally they reached the shore, without waiting for Princess Fuqiu to vomit out the water in her stomach.

She was already crying loudly, lifting her skirt and running straight towards Li Ji.

"emperor……"

Wang Huai, who happened to be leading Wei Zhen over, was startled and had no time to stop him. He could only watch as the man approached the emperor.

Fortunately, Princess Fuqiu still knows some rules.

Knowing that she was soaked, she did not dare to offend the emperor. She just stretched out a pair of white hands and gently pulled Li Ji's sleeves with some tentativeness.

It is a force that can be easily broken free.

Her eyes were red and her slender shoulders were trembling slightly, making her look like a bullied rabbit, extremely pitiful.

"Brother Ji, she, she has such a cruel heart, she actually wants to drown me."

"I just had an argument with the Queen, and she became jealous of the friendship I had with you since childhood."

Saying this once can still remind the emperor of the sweetness of his childhood, but if you say it too much, the emperor will get annoyed.

He is the emperor and is no longer the little prince who lived in the East Palace.

Can the princess and the emperor be so close?

Li Ji held Bu Ji in his arms, glanced at Princess Fuqiu who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice.

"Oh, how dare you quarrel with the Queen."

The emperor only heard the second half of the sentence.

He didn't pay any attention to a word of the previous complaint.

Li'er became alert, glanced at the emperor, and said respectfully.

"Anyone who contradicts the Empress will be confined to her residence at the least, or punished with a caning at the worst."

Princess Fuqiu looked at the emperor in disbelief, her little face turned pale instantly. Who dared to punish her with a cane?

Her mother was a meritorious official of the Chu and Jin states, Empress Yongning.

When the previous emperor was alive, no one could touch a hair on her head, but now, a palace maid dares to bully her.

"Who the hell do you think you are, you little dog slave? You have no right to speak here."

She was very angry.

"Fuqiu is guilty of insubordination and will be grounded for one month. If it happens again, she will be caned!"

Li Ji gave the order without hesitation, with only hatred in his eyes as he looked at her.

Bu Ji tugged at Li Ji's sleeve and signaled with his eyes that he didn't need to do so. Li Ji said nothing. Punishing Fuqiu was not his purpose. He was just making an example of her.

Behind her, many noble ladies rolled their eyes. Fu Wanyue, expressionless, quietly stepped forward and supported Princess Fuqiu.

Princess Fuqiu's mind was all on the Emperor, so she didn't even bother to see who was supporting her. She thought it was a palace maid or a nanny.

She waved her hand and pushed the woman next to her down, being extremely arrogant.

"You can't touch me if I'm such a tactless person."

Princess Fuqiu turned around and saw Fu Wanyue. This woman looked unfamiliar to her and seemed to be a noble lady from the capital.

No matter whether she is a noble lady or not, it’s right that her status is not as noble as hers.

Fu Wanyue was pushed to the ground. She was in a terrible state, but she spoke to the Queen.

"The Empress is the master of the harem. What happened today must have disturbed the Empress and the fetus in her belly. I apologize to the Empress on behalf of the princess."

Princess Fuqiu couldn't remember where she knew her, but from what Fu Wanyue said, it seemed as if the two of them were very familiar with each other.

".....I'm fine."

"What's the point of apologizing? Fuqiu calls me the Imperial Sister-in-law, just like she's my own sister."

Bu Ji said softly.

This was the first time for all the noble ladies to see this legendary queen. She had such a weak personality, which showed how much the emperor loved her.

The palace is so dangerous, and everyone who enters the palace has a face full of hostility. It is rare that the queen can still maintain such a temperament.

Among the noble ladies there were naturally some who were on good terms with Fuqiu, and when they heard what Fu Wanyue said, they concluded that she was trying to show off.

"Your Majesty, I saw that it was the Queen who dragged the princess into the water. Why should the princess apologize?"

Bu Ji looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl in a light green silk dress standing in the crowd. She was inconspicuous, except for the token of Baoyue Tower hanging around her waist.

Bu Ji finally knew who this person was.

Princess Fuling.

The old prince's granddaughter, and also the study partner of Princess Fuqiu.

When she fell into the water, so many people gathered around, giving her a feast for the eyes.
