The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 188 Do You Like Xu Si'an? (4)
There happened to be a moon-viewing pavilion halfway up the mountain. Zhao Jing supported the rock to go up, and looked around in the pavilion, but was firmly attracted by a figure in the distance.The little emperor Zhou Xu was chatting and laughing with the fourth girl of Duke Jing's mansion all the way, and was coming here by the lake.

How did Zhao Jing know that Zhou Xu would be here? It's just that the fourth girl from Duke Jing's mansion is clearly in the hall of the outer courtyard, so why did she come here in the blink of an eye?Zhao Jing's mind quickly turned, Jingguo's mansion wanted to send these four girls into the palace to be the little emperor's concubine, but at that time when the matter of Miss Gu came to the fore, the empress dowager, in a fit of anger, sent the four girls to the palace. The face seemed to be picked out, according to this, it is impossible for these four girls to enter the palace again no matter what.

At this time, Zhao Jing had already reacted, seeing the two figures going away, she hurriedly waved to Zhou Xu and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Zhou Xu suddenly heard the voice, he stopped and looked back, but unfortunately Zhao Jing was on the rockery in the distance, he didn't see Zhao Jing after scanning for a week, then turned around and started talking to Miss Gu Si again.The two of them took advantage of the situation and walked to the edge of the Taihu Stone by the lake.

Gu Siniang was innocent and innocent, she blinked and said to the little emperor: "Is the emperor tired from walking? How about resting on this rock for a while."

Zhou Xu was not tired from walking, he rarely came out of the palace, and the Prince Regent's Mansion didn't come much, he still wanted to see more, but the delicate girl in front of him said that he wanted to rest for a while, and he was too embarrassed to say no.Besides, although Duke Jing's mansion has done such unbearable things, Mrs. Jing Guo is also his aunt, and the person in front of him is also his own cousin.

Zhou Xu stood by the lake with his hands behind his back, looking at the beautiful scenery on the lake, he turned to Gu Siniang and said, "If cousin is tired, sit down for a while!"

Gu Siniang leaned towards Zhou Xufu, with a soft smile on her face, and said delicately: "The emperor does not sit, and neither does Siniang."

Zhou Xu's ambition was not yet open, so he didn't understand the flamboyance here. Seeing what she said, he stepped forward a few steps, wrapped up his robe and sat down on the Taihu stone.

Zhao Jing stood on the rockery and yelled a few times, but Zhou Xu didn't hear her. She was a little anxious, she was afraid that Mrs. Jing Guogong would play tricks, and she was afraid that the little emperor would fall into their tricks, but seeing that the two of them just broke up. Taking a walk, she told herself that she didn't need to be so nervous.

Zhao Jing was about to leave, but she heard Gu Siniang's cry for help from a distance.She raised her head and glanced at the lake, the little emperor Zhou Xu fell into the water!

Zhao Jing was so scared that her hands and feet trembled, and she ran all the way with her skirt in her hands. The little emperor Zhou Xu lived in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't know how to use water at all. It must be frozen too.

Along with Gu Siniang's yelling, several people ran out of the backyard of the palace, either old women or young maids.

When Gu Siniang saw the crowd approaching, she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I'll save you!" She jumped into the water as she spoke, struggling to grab the little Emperor's hand.Regardless of whether she can succeed this time, this is her last chance. The girl of the Gu family has long lost her reputation. She doesn't want to marry someone casually and die. For her own future, she has to fight hard once.

"Go outside and call some water-savvy boys to come in!"

Zhao Jing stood on the shore and gave orders while taking off her outer robe and jumping into the water.She had learned to swim in her previous life, but she hadn't used this skill for more than ten years, but watching the little emperor ups and downs in the water, she completely ignored it.

Zhao Jing jumped into the water only to find that the pool was deeper than she imagined. Fortunately, the little emperor landed on the edge of the lake. She reached out and grabbed a piece of his skirt, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, don't struggle. , the bottom of the water is not deep, the emperor should stand up straight first."

The little emperor was only stomping around nervously at first, but after hearing this, he became a little sober. When he opened his eyes and saw Zhao Jing swimming towards him, Zhou Xu was almost thumping towards Zhao Jing in the water, but the mud was too deep , and the rhizome of the lotus root underneath was entangled with his feet, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't.

"Auntie, something below caught my feet!" The harder Zhou Xu tried, the deeper he sank, and in the blink of an eye, only his head remained above the water.

But at this time, Gu Siniang was struggling and grabbed Zhao Jing's clothes. Zhao Jing staggered, pushed Gu Siniang away with all her strength, and swam towards the little emperor. She took a deep breath and covered her head Under the water to pull Zhou Xu's feet.The boot was stuck by the root of the lotus root, Zhao Jing pulled it hard a few times, but the little emperor's leg was still motionless.She emerged from the bottom of the water to take a breath, and saw that someone had already found a big bamboo pole by the lake, and stretched it into the water to pull people.

Gu Siniang was dragged ashore by the crowd, Zhao Jing took a breath, and once again got bored to the bottom of the water, she couldn't pull out her feet, so she had to pull the little emperor's legs out of the boots.

In a trance, I heard the little emperor calling her: "Auntie, get up quickly, the water is not deep, and I will not drown!"

But Zhao Jing just didn't want to let go, she exerted all her strength and hugged the little emperor's leg to push against the water.The root of the lotus root at the bottom of the water finally loosened, Zhao Jing opened her mouth happily, a strong sense of suffocation came randomly, at that moment the eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all invaded by cold water, Zhao Jing coughed violently, Her body gradually became lighter, but she could still hear the voices from the outside clearly. She heard the little emperor shout anxiously: "Uncle Huang, save Auntie, she is still in the water!"

"Cough, cough..." Her body lightened suddenly, and then she fell into a firm embrace. Zhao Jing opened her eyes in a daze, and closed them again in a daze. Before her consciousness disappeared, she only heard Zhou Yi Shaking his body violently, he called her name.

"Old lady... the old lady is not well. Mr. Zhao fell into the water to save his driver. The emperor took her back to the palace." Mrs. Xu was still sitting in the side hall drinking tea, and she was shocked when she heard the news. Jumping, she muttered to herself a little confused: "Why is the emperor also in the Regent's Palace? Mama Zhang, then... what shall we do?"

Zhang's mother's face became serious when she heard the news. Although Xu Si'an already had the intention of marrying Zhao Jing, only the people in Wu'anhou's house knew that Zhao Jing was brought into the palace by the emperor again. People are a little worried.

Zhao Jing blinked her heavy eyelids, but luckily the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was not Zhou Yi.She squeezed out a tired smile, and saw the little emperor leaning against the edge of her bed, falling asleep.
