Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince
Chapter 74 An unexpected approach
Qiao Shinian was a little confused. She first glanced at Mu Qingchen who didn't move, then stood up and followed Wen Jiu.
The boat that Lan Sheng and his crew rented was much larger than the one that Mu Qingchen rented. It was very grand and very much in line with Lan Sheng's image as a peacock.
Mu Qinglan was standing behind Lan Sheng, with a maid holding an umbrella for her to block the glaring sunlight.
Seeing that it was Wen Jiu who came out, Mu Qinglan's eyes dimmed a little, but after a while several people came out and looked at Wen Jiu.
"Oh, is the Thirteenth Prince marrying up with the Wise King?" A young man laughed and looked at Qiao Shinian behind Wen Jiu, "Thirteenth Prince, why don't you let your maidservant come and dance with us today?"
Wen Jiu didn't say anything, but just said to Mu Qingchen in the cabin behind him: "If I meet someone I know, I'll go say hello and come back."
Mu Qingchen couldn't help but smile slightly, put down the teacup in his hand and walked out.
The moment Mu Qingchen walked out of the cabin, everyone's eyes fell on him. The two ships, which were originally very close to each other, now seemed to have a very good relationship between the two parties.
In Lan Sheng's boat, many young ladies from aristocratic families also poked their heads out from both sides.
The breeze blew past and lifted the corner of Mu Qingchen's clothes. He looked like a white water lily, so peaceful and beautiful.
Wen Jiu looked at Lan Sheng, raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, and would be able to jump over in the next step.
But he missed such a simple step and suddenly fell into the water and struggled.
"Wen Jiu!" Qiao Shinian lay on the side of the boat and tried to pull Wen Jiu up. She found that although this boat was not as luxurious as the one on the other side, it was still some distance from the water and she could not pull him up.
"Give me the oar! Your Highness, come with me to pull him up!" Qiao Shinian immediately snatched the oar from a guard and handed it to Wen Jiu.
"Help, save me!" Wen Jiu struggled and shouted in the water.
The fall into the water interrupted everyone's attention on Mu Qingchen. Hearing Wen Jiu's cry for help, Qiao Shinian loosened her grip on Wen Jiu. She looked carefully at Wen Jiu who seemed to have choked on the water, and indeed found a clue.
She thought that when Mu Qingchen stretched out his hand to help her pull Wen Jiu up, she immediately shouted, "Your Highness, I am here to save you, you can't get into trouble!"
With a "splash", Qiao Shinian also jumped into the water.
Mu Qingchen was a little stunned. He looked at the oar in his hand, then threw it to the guard who also looked a little confused, and his voice was different from before: "Pull them up."
"Your Highness, please stay away and don't let the water dirty your clothes." Mu Qinglan warned him worriedly. She looked at Mu Qingchen with affection in her eyes, as if she couldn't see anyone else as long as Mu Qingchen was there.
Mo Lin, who was walking out with the dancer in his arms, watched Qiao Shinian jump into the water without hesitation to save Wen Jiu. He couldn't help but feel worried. The water here was very deep. How could such a weak woman like her save a man who was struggling desperately?
Thinking of this, he pushed the dancer away and was about to jump into the water to save her.
"You go up first!" Qiao Shinian lifted Wen Jiu and asked him to grab the oar. She floated in the water. After seeing Wen Jiu go up, she wrapped the oar with her clothes and was pulled up.
"Cough... cough... cough." Wen Jiu lay on the ground as if he had choked on water, coughing continuously. She squatted beside Wen Jiu and patted his back, then raised her head and looked at Mu Qingchen pitifully: "Your Highness, can you please bring the boat to the shore first? My prince, he needs to see a doctor."
"Everyone, let's meet again next time. I will take the Thirteenth Prince to see a doctor first." Mu Qingchen looked at the leader Lan Sheng expressionlessly.
Lan Sheng naturally knew that he had offended this wise king, and he responded repeatedly: "What a pity, I wanted to play with the Thirteenth Prince, but now it seems that I will have to wait until next time."
Mu Qinglan wanted to say something, but she saw Mu Qingchen looking at her. Before she could hide her dislike for Wen Jiu and the others, she heard Mu Qingchen say, "Miss Mu, have a nice cruise. The Thirteenth Prince is my new friend, so please don't worry about him."
Mu Qinglan lowered his head, feeling a little lost.
If she had succeeded last night, she would have become the virtuous princess in no time. Unfortunately, Mu Qingchen ran away even after such a situation.
If it weren't for Wen Jiu's obstruction, Concubine Liu's people might have been able to find Mu Qingchen.
Who could have thought that a distinguished prince would go to an unpopular hostage, and now Wen Jiu has even been able to get close to Mu Qingchen.
This time there was no obstruction and several people successfully reached the shore.
Mu Qingchen looked at the embarrassed appearance of Wen Jiu and Qiao Shinian and said, "I am the prince, and there is nothing they can do."
"Oh, but you will be hated by others!" Wen Jiu wiped the water off his face and looked at the boat rowing away slowly not far away. "I don't care. I am a poor hostage anyway, and I have done many things that have made people hate me. Besides, I fell into the water at their invitation. If they have any etiquette, they should give me gifts to comfort my frightened heart."
Qiao Shinian patted Wen Jiu's head and said in a muffled voice, "It's very dangerous. You're so young. What if you hit your head? What if you choke on the water?"
"Sister, didn't you teach me to hold my breath underwater? It's okay."
Mu Qingchen looked at the two of them and stopped Qiao Shinian and Wen Jiu from fighting: "If you don't mind, go to my house and change your clothes."
"Thank you." Qiao Shinian wrung out his handkerchief and wiped his face. Looking at the rippling river water, he suddenly asked, "Is the river water clean? I mean, is there anyone using the toilet in it?"
"Sister, stop talking. I feel a little sick." Wen Jiu covered her mouth.
Chunxue looked at Qiao Shinian twice more, then stepped forward and said, "Miss, go change your clothes quickly."
Sitting in the carriage, Qiao Shinian and Wen Jiu consciously sat next to each other.
According to Qiao Shinian's idea, the two of them should sit outside so as not to dirty the car.
Mu Qingchen said that the carriage had to be washed every day, so it didn't matter.
Seeing Mu Qingchen's expression still without any fluctuation, Qiao Shinian felt that this man seemed to be living a really boring life.
"You won't be able to see the acrobatics when you come out of the bath. Why don't I ask someone to perform at the palace?" Mu Qingchen looked back at Qiao Shinian calmly and asked.
"Your Highness, how about we do something else? Have a barbecue? In the hot summer, wouldn't it be nice to eat barbecue and drink beer?"
"Beer?" Mu Qingchen heard a lot of unfamiliar terms from Qiao Shinian's mouth today.
"It's okay, fruit wine will be fine, preferably chilled." Qiao Shinian said quickly.
Mu Qingchen nodded in agreement.
Seeing Qiao Shinian's curious eyes, Mu Qingchen asked, "Is there anything that puzzles you?"
"You are the prince, they treated you like that, aren't you angry? You clearly rejected them, but they acted as if they didn't hear you." Qiao Shinian asked, carefully looked at Mu Qingchen, and seeing that his expression did not change, he asked again: "Under what circumstances would make you angry? Wen Jiu and I were so rude, but you didn't even walk away."
"Like last night, I would be angry." Mu Qingchen smiled slightly and looked at Qiao Shinian: "You and the Thirteenth Prince really get along as Wenshan said, free and unrestrained. I don't feel offended by your behavior, I just don't agree with it.
However, there are thousands of people in the world with thousands of different ideas. I shouldn't restrict your behavior with my own ideas. I just don't agree with you, or I don't understand you. Miss Qiao, can you tell me why you want to go to the brothel?"
