Chapter 71 Framed

They both turned around and saw the fifth princess dressed up.

She didn't look good. She came angrily with her gorgeous skirt, stood in front of Shen Xian and asked, "Why didn't I see your brother?"

"My brother has gone to Jiangsu to work."

"What? I don't know why?"

Shen Xian and Zhong Mingyue looked at each other, and the latter said: "This is not a small matter. My brother has already gone. Don't you know you care so much about Cousin Shen?"

Shi Ying turned around and seemed to want to scold her, but when she turned around and thought that Zhong Mingyue would soon be her sister-in-law, she held back her anger and said, "Why are you hiding here if you don't go to my brother?"

These words completely pissed off Zhong Mingyue.

It was as if she had to revolve around Shi Yanyuan since she was given a marriage to him. Before she married the prince, she was still herself!

"Why should I go to your imperial brother? Can't I have my own place to go?"

After that, he got up and walked out with a cold face.

Shen Xian stood up and wanted to call her, but Shi Ying caught her and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Shen Xian sighed helplessly: "Princess, I welcome you, but please don't talk nonsense."

Shi Ying was also aggrieved, but Zhong Mingyue was really angry with herself and ran away, so she said she was going to help Shen Xian find her, and left Shen Xian alone in Huxin Pavilion.

After a while, many noble girls came back, laughing and trying to curry favor with her. Shen Xian also enjoyed it, but she also knew that these were all because of Shi Ling.

At that time, there were two women outside the crowd looking here from a distance.

Zhao Baolin and Cheng Siqiao, who had a falling out with the fifth princess, had their teeth broken. They couldn't figure out how an abandoned woman Shen Xian fell into Shi Ling's eyes.

Zhao Baolin was so angry that she said loudly: "It's such a grand ceremony, but I don't know if I can actually get married. After all, Miss Shen was abandoned last time."

This man spoke openly, and everyone present heard it, and all the noble ladies stared at Shen Xian.

One of them came out to express his displeasure and said: "Miss Zhao is really interesting. Why are you saying these unfavorable words here at the wedding party?"

"That's right, I think people say sour grapes when they can't eat them. Who doesn't know that you, Zhao Baolin, like King Xuan?"

Shen Xian raised her eyebrows.

She doesn't know.

Zhao Baolin bit her lower lip and said angrily: "You wallflowers, you were as good as Hui'er before, but now you are fawning over her when you see her gaining power, you are so funny!"

"You! You Zhao Baolin, how good do you think you are, following Xiao Hui all day long, a follower!"

The people on both sides got closer and closer, but Shen Xian kept getting farther and farther away. She also ordered the girl next to her to watch them, in case a fight really broke out, for fear of harming Chi Yu.

But just as she was about to leave, she heard a familiar female voice coming from behind. The person laughed harshly and said, "Miss Shen's engagement party was so lively."

Shen Xian frowned.

She remembered that she didn't invite Xiao Hui.

Turning around, he gave a fake smile: "It's been a long time since we last saw the third prince and concubine. It's been a good time lately."

Xiao Hui thought of the itchy teeth that made her angry after being beaten not long ago, she sneered and walked towards Zhao Baolin, looking coldly at the few people who were showing off their power just now.

Now Zhao Baolin was proud, and the others hurriedly found excuses and left.

"Shen Xian, you seem to be surprised to see me."

The grudge between the two of them has always been on the surface, and she did not feel guilty or embarrassed. She smiled generously and said: "After all, it seems that you are not invited to this banquet."

Xiao Hui: "I was not invited, but my husband is the nephew of Prince Xuan so he has to come. Since he is not free today, naturally I will come."

"Of course, you don't need to come because of your previous relationship, but I have a kind heart, so I always have to give this gift."

Shen Xian couldn't even hold back her smile.

"Then do it yourself."

Ever since she found out that the person who almost killed her in the paddock was Xiao Hui, she no longer had any patience with Xiao Hui.

What's more, she was the only one here. What if Xiao Hui wanted to trouble her?

So he turned around and left.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Hui's eyes. She turned her eyes and looked around. When she saw the sparkling lake water next to her, she curled her lips and looked at Zhao Baolin behind her.

The latter immediately realized something, glanced at Cheng Siqiao, walked quietly behind her, and then pushed hard, and Cheng Siqiao rushed towards Shen Xian without any precautions.

Shen Xian heard the footsteps, and when she turned around, she saw a panic-stricken Chen Siqiao falling on top of her. Just as she was about to run away, she didn't know that this man was actually pulling her clothes from behind.

It's terrible! You have to die and walk alone! Don't you know if you don't go together on the road to hell?

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

The smile on Zhao Baolin's face couldn't stop until she heard Xiao Hui shouting: "Here comes someone! Miss Shen and Miss Cheng have fallen into the water! Someone come and help!"

After a while, the shore was immediately crowded with people.

It was still the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there was still a thin layer of frost on the edge of the lake. The moment Shen Xian entered the water, she was bitten by the cold and choked on her water several times.

I wanted to swim ashore, but Cheng Siqiao, an idiot, held me tightly by my clothes.

Soon, Shen Xian's hands and feet were numb from the cold, and she could no longer exert any strength.

If she really died today, she would kill Cheng Siqiao!

There were some noble maids on the shore, most of whom couldn't swim. They could only shout their names desperately, but to no avail.

"Get away!"

Shi Ling took off his coat and rushed into the water. Everyone was shocked, and many officials in the front hall followed him.

After Shi Ling entered the water, he quickly found Shen Xian, who was still struggling to survive, and swam towards her faster.

He was afraid that Shen Xian would fall in front of him in the next second, so he had to go faster and faster.

It wasn't until he hugged Shen Xian and rushed out of the water that he felt a little more real.

Shen Xian shivered from the cold and turned pale. She hugged Shi Ling's neck and refused to let go. She whispered in his ear weakly: "There is still... someone else."

Shi Ling carried her ashore and shouted: "Help!"

Then he stopped caring and walked to her boudoir with Shen Xian in his arms.

Shen Xian's whole body ached, and she straightened up as if stiff. She had no strength at all. She could only hear Shi Ling's breathing and slight swallowing.

He cried?

Shen Xian struggled to open her eyes. She didn't know whether the water falling on his face was water or tears, but her eyes were red, as if she was afraid of something.

"...Prince? Are you... okay?"

Shi Ling gritted his teeth and looked down at her, but he didn't dare to stay any longer: "What about you? How are you?"

Shen Xian wanted to shake her head, but she was so tired that she fell directly onto Shi Ling's shoulder and fainted.

Xiang Nong was helping out in the front yard. When she heard the news, she hurried back to light the stove and bring hot water for Shen Xian to take a hot bath. Ye Zhen was feeling very distressed outside. She turned around and saw that she was still dripping with water and standing motionless in the house. Shi Ling.

Frowning: "My lord, you are also wet. Go and change quickly."

Shi Ling darkened his eyes and said, "I'll wait until she gets better before I go."

Ye Zhen wanted to persuade, but Shen Yao hurried over, looking very worried and nervous, but she kept staring at Shi Ling.

"Yao'er has met the prince."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Zhen: "My dear mother, what's going on?"
