Everyone at the scene was shocked by the sudden change. After a few breaths, Empress Zhang came back to her senses and shouted like crazy. "Come on, help me quickly."

If it wasn't for the servant girl next to her to stop her quickly, she might have jumped down with her.

When the patrolling guards heard the shout, they rushed over immediately and dived into the water to save people.

However, when they supported Chu Chen to go ashore, they encountered obstacles.

Chu Chenyao stood by the lake, condescending, and when Chu Chenshi was holding on to the floor tiles along the bank, he stepped on the Chu Chenshi Tianling Cap, and stepped Chu Chenshi back into the icy lake water.

His strength was just right, enough for Chu Chen to be submerged in the water without even a single drop of water getting on the soles of his shoes.

The guards who rescued people were stunned by Chu Chenyao's operation, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

When Chu Chen was choking on the cold water enough, Chu Chenyao relaxed his strength, Chu Chen was struggling, and the guards immediately helped Chu Chen to go ashore, but at the moment of going ashore, Chu Chenyao stepped on him back again.

"Chu Chenyao!" Only then did Queen Zhang react, and she almost walked in front of Chu Chenyao quickly.

"Empress Empress." Chu Chenyao stepped on Chu Chenshi again. In this palace, even the crown prince Chu Chenxi had to call "Mother Concubine" when he saw Queen Zhang, but Chu Chenyao was an exception.

"Seventh brother accidentally fell into the water, Chenyao is trying to rescue him." Chu Chenyao pointed out that a deer was a horse.

The surrounding guards had already panicked when Chu Chenyao stepped on Chu Chenshi.Now hearing Chu Chenyao's nonsense, he just lowered his head and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.

"This winter is too cold. The seventh brother may contract typhoid fever by falling into the water. Chen Yao beat a tiger skin in Nanyuan and wanted to give it to the seventh brother. What does the empress think?" Chu Chenyao's tone was very flat, but listening There was a chilling feeling in everyone's heart.

Especially Empress Zhang, Chu Chenyao's appearance was no different from that of a ghost, and she couldn't help but take a step back when she was anxious.

"I thanked his fifth brother for Shi'er." Empress Zhang's eyes were red, but she finally calmed down and said so.

"No, this king has always been brotherly and respectful. How others treat this king, I will repay you with the kindness of dripping water." Chu Chenyao pointed out something, and Empress Zhang's face turned pale again.

Seemingly thinking that Chu Chen had drunk enough cold water, Chu Chenyao finally withdrew his right foot. Seeing this, the other guards quickly pulled Chu Chen to the shore. Of course, the place he chose to go ashore was far away from Chu Chenyao a few steps.

Chu Chen drank a stomach full of cold water, and was already unconscious when he was dragged up. When the cold wind blew, his whole body was frozen and shivering.

Chu Chenyao glanced at the rescue guards who were also shivering from the cold.

"You have made great contributions in saving the Seven Kings, and you will go down to receive the reward."

"Come here, I'll give you a big reward!" After hearing the words, Queen Zhang also answered, and immediately called everyone to carry Chu Chenshi back to the imperial physician with distress.

A group of people left in a panic.

Seeing this, Liu Wang and others also took excuses to say goodbye to Chu Chenyao, and ran away as if flying.

……

That night.

Mei Xiang pulled the charcoal basin to make the charcoal fire more prosperous and make the room warmer.

"Mei Xiang, it's okay." Ye Changling tore his clothes, Mei Xiang burned a little too much charcoal, and he was actually sweating.

"Pay attention to ventilation." Wooden houses generally do not have ventilation problems, but the charcoal basin Meixiang puts is too dense. A modern person passed down to ancient times and died of no other reason. It would be ridiculous to die of carbon monoxide poisoning. point.

"Yes, young master." At this moment, Mei Xiang also prepared the charcoal fire, and stood up contentedly.

Last year the young master was seriously ill, and the accountant still withheld their charcoal. This year, Mei Xiang planned to sue the young master, but as soon as autumn came, the charcoal from their hospital was delivered immediately, which was double the normal amount.

So Mei Xiang was very generous with the charcoal, and outside the side room there was a pile of briquettes that Ye Changling had let Chuntao and the others dry out before.

Chuntao brought in Ye Changling's footwashing water.

Ye Changling didn't like to be served on such trivial matters, so after Chuntao put down the footwashing water, she just waited aside.

Ye Changling didn't have the habit of treating servants harshly. After nightfall, all the rooms were warmer. Chuntao changed into a thick autumn coat, which made her figure more graceful.

Thinking of the envious look of Yu Gaoluo's three sour scholars when they heard that Chuntao was taking care of Yang Wendong, Mei Xiang hummed unhappily.

Because of Ye Changling's relationship, as Ye Changling's first maid, Chuntao's status has also risen.According to the unspoken rules, the young master's first maids are generally from the young master's room, but Mei Xiang has gained weight, so there is an exception.

Ever since Aunt Hua lost power, Ye Changling's status in the mansion has changed, and more and more servants want to climb up to Ye Changling, and their idea is also on Mei Xiang.

Things like the in-law's family have been mentioned in their ears more than once.

No matter how ignorant a person is, he understands a lot of things under the influence of his ears and eyes every day.

For example, why did the old lady point Chuntao to her young master?

Mei Xiang next to her didn't listen carefully, but only one Mei Xiang knew that Chun Tao had come to snatch the young master from her.

So Meixiang looked at Chuntao even more unpleasantly.

"I heard that you were studying the day before yesterday? Where have you read?" Ye Changling has been encouraging the little maids in the courtyard to read and read. After all, at their age, they should have experienced math, physics and chemical beatings at school.

It's just that the little maids are very lazy, and Ye Changling didn't force it after mentioning it a few times. He was a little surprised when he asked the accountant Song Jinfu found to teach them how to read.

"Returning to the young master, I'm learning the thousand-character prose." Chuntao lowered her head, a little embarrassed.

"Thousand-Character Classic?" So the Three-Character Classic is already familiar.

"Chuntao learned calligraphy when she was young." Chuntao explained.

"I see." Ye Changling nodded. "Although my daughter's family can't take the imperial examination, it's always good to study and learn more."

I just want to warn the accountant not to teach things like "The Female Ring".

"You too, learn more from your sister Chuntao." Looking at Chuntao who asked to learn, Ye Changling looked at Meixiang with hatred.

After studying for half a year, I can't even write my own name well.

Ye Changling really wanted to find a female gentleman to play Meixiang's ruler.

Being scolded by the young master for writing, Mei Xiang, who originally disliked Chuntao, immediately threw all her anger on Chuntao.

Sure enough, just like the sister Yuanyang next to Aunt Yu said, this vixen will do everything to seduce her young master, even saying that she likes to learn to write!

She was scolded by the young master.

"Master, do you like Sister Chuntao?" Seeing Chuntao pick up the used footwash water and turn away, Mei Xiang asked, thinking about what Sister Yuanyang taught her yesterday.

Chuntao, who had just walked out of the room, stopped suddenly.

Ye Changling didn't quite understand why Xiao Meixiang asked such a question, but Ye Changling had always been patient with this little girl whom he took care of like a little sister.

"It's okay." After all, the two of them didn't meet much.

"Does the young master want to take Sister Chuntao into the room?"

Outside the door, Chuntao lowered her head, she didn't have much expression on her face, but her whitish fingertips grasping the wooden basin showed her mood.

"Little girl, who did you listen to?" Hearing this, Ye Changling paused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Is that true?" Mei Xiang continued to ask.

"It's natural." To be honest, Ye Changling hasn't given much thought to the matter of love between children.

Besides, he was still thinking about Princess Shang.

"Mei Xiang heard from Fourth Brother Chen that he liked Sister Chuntao very much, but he was too embarrassed to tell the young master, why don't you accept him, young master." Mei Xiang didn't lie when she said this.Everyone knows that Miss Chuntao is good-looking and capable in doing things that the old lady likes, and she will be given to the young master of the family in the future, so others dare to say this casually.

Chen Si...

Even though she already knew that the young master had no intentions for her, after hearing the young master's confirmation personally, Chuntao was relieved and at the same time felt inexplicably lost for a moment.However, the name 'Chen Si' immediately took all the attention.

Chuntao knew from a young age that she could not be allowed to decide who she would marry. Later, she followed the old lady and knew that the old lady intended to use her to win over the future master of Ye Mansion. Chuntao only hoped that the mistress in the future would be more lenient.

Chen Si... also good.

"Are you asking for a marriage for him? If he really wants to, he can just come to me." Ye Changling patted Xiaomeixiang's forehead. "You are young, don't pay attention to these things, and learn to write with Mr. Accountant when you have time."

"Then what does the young master mean, if Chen Si comes to beg the young master, the young master will agree?" Mei Xiang rubbed her forehead and asked the truth.

"Of course...to be his sweet dream." Ye Changling sneered, "We have to ask your elder sister Chuntao about this matter. If she doesn't like Chen Si, this matter can't be discussed."

"Oh." Mei Xiang was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she was inexplicably relieved.

She didn't know why she was relieved.

Obviously things did not develop as Sister Yuanyang said.

That vixen will continue to seduce her young master.

"Not only Chuntao, but also you, don't go with those dubious guys like Chen Si, he actually told you this." Ye Changling snorted dissatisfied.

The dubious Chen Si: ...

"Oh." Mei Xiang stuck out her tongue.

"Speaking of which, isn't Chuntao very strong?" He knew the weight of the box. The courtyard was full of thirteen or fourteen-year-old maids, and Chuntao was given the drudgery of making briquettes as a matter of course. Realized that Lai Chuntao seems to be doing a good job of hard work now?

"That's right, that's right, Sister Chuntao is so strong!" When it came to this question, Mei Xiang became happy. "We cleaned the room before, and there was a screen that we couldn't move. Chen's mother said that Sister Chuntao's strength is very rare."

"It does have a lot of strength." Compared with the two scholars who can't lift their shoulders or lift their hands, they are much stronger.

With strength comparable to that of an adult man, it would be a waste to stay in the backyard all the time.

"Mei Xiang, do you want to learn horseback riding and archery?" Ye Changling remembered that Liu Mantou in the village knew some basic skills, and Liu Mantou taught horseback riding back then.

"Okay." At the beginning when she saw the young master riding a horse, Mei Xiang was envious.

"In two days, let him come to Ye Mansion to teach you." Letting a maid learn horseback riding and archery and kung fu is a bit out of line. When he was in Zhuangzi, Ye Changling made up his mind to hide his strength and bide his time so as not to attract Ye Mansion's attention, but now he doesn't need it anymore.

Listening to Mei Xiang happily talking with Ye Changling about riding Ye Changling's bay red horse in the room, Chuntao smiled a little and left slowly.

In the night, there was only a back figure with brisk steps left.

……

At the same time, in the imperial city, Empress Zhang looked at Chu Chen, who was lying on the bed with a high fever, and was crying. God is here.

It's just that this time, Emperor Yongjia's attitude was ambiguous. He only sent a message half a quarter ago, and he had just set off from Qianqing Palace.

"Mother, did the fifth brother really do it? Is there some misunderstanding? The fifth brother is just angry, and he probably doesn't want to kill the seventh brother." Princess Chun'an said in a low voice, the last time the incident was so big , she wanted to intercede for Fifth Brother.

Queen Zhang ignored her.

"Princess, your compatriot brother is still lying on the bed. The slaves saw it with their own eyes, how could it be fake!" Empress Zhang's confidant mother couldn't help but say.

Princess Chun'an didn't dare to speak anymore.

She still didn't dare to make her mother angry.

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly broke into Kunning Palace and whispered something in Queen Zhang's ear. The next second, Queen Zhang's face changed and she got up immediately.

"What are you crying for? Get up for me. If my son fell into the water, I can't blame anyone."
