After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

From the flower hall to the rose garden, you have to pass through a lotus pond. There is a small island in the middle of the lake with rockery pavilions and lush trees. It is connected to the shore by wooden corridors.

There are two small boats docked on the island in the middle of the lake, floating leisurely among the lotus leaves.

It was late autumn at this time, and the lotus leaves in the pond were mottled and withered, and there were lotus branches hanging high.

When Zhao Xiang'er saw the lotus pods, he became interested and wanted to pick some peeled lotus seeds to eat.

Although Han Youning also liked it, I'm afraid now was not the time to play, so she left Zhao Xiang'er and continued to move forward.

Zhao Xiang'er complained, "She doesn't look like a sister", "She is really arrogant and domineering", "Cold-hearted"...

While going down the stone steps, he untied the rope and got on the boat.

She turned around and saw that Han Youning had really walked away, and shouted at her back, "Chen Youning, I remember you! Don't think about me calling you sister again in the future!"

Han Youning didn't look back, raised his hand and shook it, "Whatever."

Ling'er followed Han Youning, feeling a little uneasy about Zhao Xiang'er, "Miss, the county master doesn't have her maid with her either. If something happens, you might be responsible."

Han Youning stopped.

With Mrs. Han's cruel heart, it's hard to say what crazy things she would do. She was very good at frame-up.

Han Youning looked back at Zhao Xiang'er who was trying hard to rock the boat. He was clumsy and busy, and the boat was swaying.

She frowned, stupid girl.

She asked Aunt Sun and Yu Niang to go back to the rose garden first, while she and Linger went back again.

When Zhao Xiang'er saw her coming back, she shouted arrogantly on the boat, "Chen Youning, don't think that I will forgive you just because you come back to stay with me. I'm not that easy to coax!"

Han Youning shouted, "You are thinking too much, I just want to drink lotus seed porridge!"

She leaned forward to pick the lotus pods on the edge of the wooden corridor.

Suddenly, a scream came.

Han Youning suddenly looked up and saw that there was no one on the swaying boat. Zhao Xiang'er was splashing and shouting in the water. It was obvious that he didn't know how to swim.

Han Youning's expression changed, he was really afraid of something!

Just when she was about to stand up straight, her knees suddenly hurt and she lost her balance, and she threw herself into the pond.

Ling'er screamed and reached out to pull her, but unfortunately she couldn't catch anything.

Han Youning struggled to find the pillars of the wooden corridor in the water, but the more he struggled, the more he sank to the bottom of the water.

She guessed that Mrs. Han would definitely arrange a back-up plan to either make her clothes dirty or wet. This lotus pond was the perfect opportunity to do something.

She deliberately did not wear a silk dress, just to allow Mrs. Han to make more small moves. If there were too many small moves, her feet would naturally be exposed.

She had just arranged for Manager Wen to be waiting nearby, but she never expected that Mrs. Han would kill her.

Manager Wen can't save two people by himself.

Then one of her and Zhao Xiang'er must die. If she dies, it will be settled once and for all. If Zhao Xiang'er dies, Princess Chengjun will probably not spare her lightly.

Han Youning smiled bitterly, could she be considered smart but was mistaken for being smart?

In the suffocating haze, a handsome face like an immortal appeared before her eyes, with a warm and warm smile.

What do you want him to do? Is it possible that he can save her again?

This is the Dingguo Palace.

Suddenly, her waist was hugged, and although she couldn't open her eyes, there was a faint fragrance of purple bamboo in her nose.

She felt excited in her heart, wrapped her arms around him, and hugged his lean waist tightly. The moment he jumped out of the water, she coughed and shouted happily, "Your Majesty!"

The girl's sweet and fragrant fragrance spread across the face, and Zhao Chengyuan's movements were slightly stagnant.

He tapped the railing with his toes and used his strength to jump up to the Linshui Pavilion on the rockery.

Han Youning was placed on the low platform in the pavilion.

She leaned over and vomited for a long time, then recovered her strength and stood up to give her a blessing. She said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me again."

Zhao Chengyuan glanced at her, turned his back to her, and said with a hint of discomfort in his mellow voice, "Take care of your clothes."

Han Youning lowered his head and realized that his current appearance was really embarrassing. The thin short coat was stuck to his body, revealing his curves. A small section of red bellyband was exposed around his waist, and his skirt was tangled and clinging to his legs.

She was busy pulling on her coat and dress and adjusting it.

But... Zhao Chengyuan was actually embarrassed.

In these two lives, he has always acted like an elder in front of her, like a mountain, solid and cold, with no joy or sorrow. All emotions and everything are under his control, and there is never a time when he loses control.

.

The only time she had seen her emotions show up was before she died, and his roar still echoed in her mind, making her confused.

She had also thought a lot about it, could it be that his imperial uncle had undue thoughts about his niece-in-law? However, based on the few interactions between the two of them in the previous life, and his behavior at that time,

This speculation was quickly rejected.

The only reasonable explanation she came up with was that this was a qualified elder.

While adjusting her dress, she asked, "Can someone save her, County Master?"

She asked too much. Manager Wen was nearby. If he hadn't come to save her, he would have gone to save Zhao Xiang'er who fell into the water first.

Seeing that she didn't even have the shyness of a little girl, Zhao Chengyuan just ignored the matter and frowned slightly.

I don't know if she is still in love and doesn't understand anything, or... because of Lu Lin's seniority, she regards him as an elder.

He looked out the window and saw Lu Lin struggling to drag Zhao Xiang'er ashore, and said softly, "Don't worry, we have been rescued."

"Oh, that's good...the county master has been implicated by me."

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Chengyuan's eyes, and he twisted his fingers gently.

Han Youning changed the subject and asked strangely, "Why did the prince come to the Duke's residence?"

If his father, Han Jun, is in the mansion, it is somewhat possible for him to come here. There is no man of comparable status in the mansion to entertain him, so it would be strange for him to come to the banquet.

Zhao Chengyuan said calmly, "I came if I wanted to."

What kind of answer is this?

Didn't he ever think about how much speculation would arouse in the court that his dignified Prince Jin suddenly visited the Dingguo Palace?

He has always been careful not to associate with powerful ministers and generals, and what he did today is really not like his style.

Han Youning asked again, "No one saw the prince come here, right? Your martial arts are so good, can you fly to the shore from behind?"

She observed the terrain and saw that Linshui Pavilion had six windows. The location behind it was relatively hidden, and it wasn't too far from the shore of the lotus pond. A few dozen meters shouldn't be anything to him, right?

Zhao Chengyuan turned his back to her, his voice as cool as lake water, "Why, what are you afraid of?"

Han Youning stopped moving, feeling that the question he asked was strange.

Naturally, I was afraid of being forced into a right relationship.

If it was the guards who saved him, then that would be fine. After all, it was his duty. If it were a foreigner, he would have always promised to save his life when he fell into the water, but no one dared to say anything in his territory.

Since neither Xiang Xiang cares about this kind of thing, and the other party does not need to bear any responsibility, should some troubles be avoided if possible?
