The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 353: Fortunately Falling into the Water

At this moment, Qin Liuse had already walked to the bridge and looked around.

There are no maids or eunuchs on this side of the lake. If we wait for them to come over from the Round Moon Terrace, I'm afraid the eldest prince would have already sunk.

There was a lot of commotion here, and the people on the round moon platform over there also noticed the commotion, and they swarmed over here, all holding lanterns.

When Qin Liuse saw the direction of the eldest prince, she ran forward without thinking and jumped into the water.

Although he could wait for someone to rescue him, or wait for the secret guards sent by Emperor Yongjia to protect the eldest prince, it was better for such a hidden weapon not to be seen.

Qin Liuse was also worried that the eldest prince would sink and no one would be able to find him, which would make it even more difficult to rescue him, so he came to rescue him himself.

At this moment, the eldest prince was still struggling in the water. Qin Liuse jumped into the water and immediately swam towards him.

Qin Liuse grew up in the countryside of Suzhou and Hangzhou. He has been able to swim since he was a child. When he was a child, he swam in the river at his mother's home in the countryside and was pulled up and beaten by his mother.

Qin Liuse swam very fast with all her might.

However, there were a lot of algae and weeds on the lakeside, and she had to push away the thriving algae as she swam over.

On August 15th, mid-autumn, the water in the lake was quite cold.

But Qin Liuse had no way to care whether she was cold or not for a moment. She just tried her best to move forward. Seeing that the eldest prince was no longer struggling, she gradually sank.

Fortunately, the eldest prince was lucky and had a long life, so Qin Liuse swam over and caught him.

Qin Liuse hugged his waist. The eldest prince choked on some water and was already a little scared and crying. He looked at her with red eyes.

The eldest prince was not the type to shout and scream, so when he was frightened, his eyes only turned red, and he did not cry or scream for help.

After seeing that the person coming was Qin Liuse, she called out, "Royal Concubine."

Qin Liuse hugged him and swam with him to the shore, "Don't be afraid, Prince. It's okay. When people come, we can go ashore."

At this time, the person the maid called for help had also arrived here.

A huge group of people gathered at the shore. Even though there were eunuchs and maids holding lanterns, Qin Liuse didn't have time to look at who was surrounding them.

After swimming here with such great effort and carrying the eldest prince to the shore, all her clothes were soaked. She felt wet and even a little cold. Qin Liuse was almost out of strength.

Several eunuchs squatted on the shore and held the eldest prince's hand. Qin Liuse lifted him up with all his strength, and the eunuchs pulled him up.

Finally, there was no danger and Qin Liuse breathed a sigh of relief. Mingyue, Zijin and others also hurried over with frowns on their faces and quickly pulled Qin Liuse up.

At a moment, the maid who had been sent by Concubine Xiao De to get clean cotton cloth had already brought a clean cotton towel over. Aunt Mingyue took it and wrapped Qin Liuse around it.

Aunt Mingyue said anxiously, "Although it is cool today, it is mid-autumn after all. Wear thin clothes. The lake water is so cold. It will get cold after soaking in it. Madam, please be careful not to catch a cold. Let's go back quickly."

As Aunt Mingyue was talking, Zijin was holding a cotton handkerchief and wiping the water stains off Qin Liuse's face and hands.

As for the one on my head, there was nothing I could do but let it drip wetly, and wipe some of it off when it dripped off.

At this moment, Qin Liuse, who was soaked in water, could only be described as in a miserable state, and had no image at all.

The hairpins were loose or falling off, and her hair was hanging in a mess.

Perhaps things couldn't get any worse, so Qin Liuse was not in the mood to think about these things for the moment.

When he looked up while sneezing, he saw Emperor Yongjia walking not far behind the crowd.

Therefore, because he was tall, he was particularly conspicuous when walking among the concubines.

The banquet was over just now, and Emperor Yongjia went to the front to take care of state affairs. He came back now, and someone must have passed the news to him.

At this moment, Emperor Yongjia looked unhappy when he saw the situation.

He walked forward and asked a few questions. After learning that Qin Liuse and the eldest prince were fine, his expression relaxed a little.

The eldest prince is just a child after all, so it's okay. But Qin Liuse was like a drowned rat, standing here being watched by everyone.

When the Empress Dowager learned that the eldest prince fell into the water, her heart began to pound as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Now he came over and saw that the eldest prince was safe and sound. He felt relieved.

Supported by the maid's hand, she walked over to see Qin Liuse.

Qin Liuse saw the expression on the Empress Dowager's face, which seemed a little complicated.

Qin Liuse lowered her eyes, with a look of disappointment on her face. In fact, she knew that this was a trap, but she had no choice but to jump into it.

The Empress Dowager was indeed conflicted. Since Qin Liuse saved the eldest prince, it was naturally a good thing.

But on the other hand... the Empress Dowager sighed, "You, the Imperial Concubine, are also..."

It seemed that no one knew what words to use to describe Qin Liuse. After all, she was the Imperial Noble Consort, the future Queen, and a concubine in the harem. In the heart of the Grand Empress Dowager, she naturally had to be dignified and generous.

But with this jump, Qin Liuse lost all the business he had done during this period.

There are so many people in the palace, including so many maids and eunuchs. If it were someone else, including other concubines, no one would jump into the water to save people.

The person was saved, but his own image was also lost.

But that man happened to be the great-grandson of the Empress Dowager, a precious treasure. She was naturally relieved that Qin Liuse had rescued him and that he was safe and sound.

But during this period of time, she had considered so much for Qin Liuse and had established an image for so long, but it was gone overnight.

This jump today was really not like what a queen should do.

Qin Liuse was not a person without worries. Looking at this situation, she naturally knew what the meaning behind the unfinished words of the Empress Dowager was.

But now, she had to pretend to be a good wife. After all, Emperor Yongjia was here, and since the Empress Dowager didn't say anything, she could only pretend she didn't know.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongjia came over, and seeing her wet appearance, he frowned and said, "Go back to my palace and change clothes first, or you will catch a cold."
