Ah Yuan stepped forward and slapped Ziding twice before saying: "When you talk to the master, you must call yourself a slave and be respectful. You are not allowed to look directly at the master, and you are not allowed to harbor resentment."

The situation was stronger than the others. Ziding was not angry, but she still begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Jiang Shiying just looked at her coldly without saying a word.

A Yuan said: "The princess will naturally wake up soon. If I were you, I should think carefully now about how to explain Princess Yongning's deliberate push of the empress into the water when His Majesty asks."

Only then did Ziding remember that what happened today was the fault of their princess. Instead, it was the pure noble concubine who rescued the princess from the lake regardless of her past grudges.

If she had known that the princess would act so recklessly, she would have stopped her even if she had risked her life.

Ziding's eyes darkened, thinking about how to remind the princess to deal with His Majesty later.

At this moment, Jiang Shiying noticed that not far away, a little palace maid was running this way with something in her arms.

Because the thing she was holding was very large, the little palace maid stumbled quite a bit when she ran.

When she came closer, Jiang Shiying saw clearly that she was holding two thin quilts.

The little palace maid said: "Your Majesty, this is the quilt that my servant brought from the nearby Muxian Zhai. No one lives in Muxian Zhai, but the quilt is clean. Please put on the quilt to avoid catching cold."

Jiang Shiying nodded: "Thank you very much."

Princess Yongning just woke up at this time and heard Jiang Shiying say: "Give the princess a quilt."

"Who wants you to pretend to be kind?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Yongning sneezed.

Jiang Shiying ignored her and asked A Yuan to wrap the quilt directly on her body, and then she covered the other bed herself.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and it is already quite chilly. In addition, their clothes were soaked with water, and they shivered from the cold when exposed to the wind.

Princess Yongning would like to be more courageous, but her body is honestly craving for the dryness and warmth of the quilt.

Ziding gave her a few words of advice, and she hid under the quilt obediently.

Jiang Shiying was wrapped in a quilt and saw the little palace maid still standing by. She waved to her and asked, "What's your name?"

The little palace maid took two steps forward, bowed and said, "In return for your Majesty's words, my servant Hongying."

Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "You were the one who called me just now to remind me to be careful, right?"

Hongying nodded: "This slave saw from a distance that the princess seemed to be bumping into you, and wanted to remind you to stay away. Unexpectedly, it was too late."

Jiang Shiying thought to himself, it's not that you reminded her too late, it's that I didn't avoid it on purpose. If I dodge, the princess will be the only one unable to control herself and fall into the lake. That won't work.

However, it is enough for Jiang Shiying and A Yuan to know this matter well.

Therefore, she just smiled and said: "You reminded me, and I miss you. You also went to get the quilt to prevent me and the princess from getting cold. I should reward you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Yuan took a bulging purse and stuffed it into Hongying's hand.

However, Hongying refused to accept it. She said: "Your Majesty, I just saved my slave a few days ago. This slave is just repaying your kindness to your Majesty."

After Hongying finished telling the whole story, Jiang Shiying remembered that when she went to the Yanbo Palace for a banquet a few days ago, she met a young palace maid who was being bullied by her old nanny. She asked Yu Chengyi to step forward and stop her. That little palace maid is today's Hongying.

Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "Good girl, it's good that you repay your kindness."

Upon receiving her compliment, Hongying's entire little face turned red with excitement.

At this time, Jiang Shiying asked her: "You just said that you got this quilt from Muxizhai. Is Muxizhai far from here?"

Hongying pointed to the east and said, "It's not far. It only takes half a cup of tea to walk there."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying looked at Ziding and said, "Ziding, please take the princess to Muxianzhai to wait. This place is located in a remote location. Your Majesty and the imperial doctor must have to wait a while before they arrive."

When Princess Yongning heard this, she stiffened her neck and said, "I won't go."

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows: "Isn't the princess cold?"

Hearing her question, Princess Yongning subconsciously shrank into the quilt again. Her clothes were soaked through. The quilt was dry at first, but soon became soaked by the clothes. Now the wind was blowing, so she sat on the ground again, with only her upper body leaning against Ziding, which was naturally cold.

But she just subconsciously didn't want to listen to the pure noble concubine.

Seeing that Princess Yongning was silent, Ziding persuaded her in a low voice. I don’t know what she said, but soon, Princess Yongning stood up obediently.

Jiang Shiying said: "Hongying, take them to Muxianzhai."

Hongying asked: "Empress, aren't you going?"

Jiang Shiying said: "I will wait here for Your Majesty and others to come."

Ah Yuan advised her: "My dear, please go to Muxianzhai. I will wait here for you. You also just fell into the water and have been standing here. What should you do if you catch the cold?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head and urged Hongying and the others: "Why don't you go quickly? Don't you see that the princess's lips are almost turning purple?"

When the three of them disappeared, Jiang Shiying chuckled and said, "If I went to Muxianzhai together, Zi Ding would not have the chance to teach the princess how to deal with Your Majesty."

A Yuan said: "For today's matter, Your Majesty must punish the princess severely."

There was a hint of ridicule in the corner of Jiang Shiying's mouth: "Your Majesty is reluctant to part with her. After all, she is the only princess. Otherwise, how do you think she developed such a temperament?"

Ah Yuan was unhappy: "Then you were pushed into the water by her for nothing?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty will only think: Nothing happened to the pure noble concubine. A small punishment and a big warning are enough."

Ah Yuan didn't believe it: "According to His Majesty's love for you, it's not that big of a deal, right?"

Jiang Shiying sighed softly: "No matter how much you love your concubine, how can it compare with the biological daughter you have held in your hand for more than ten years?"

Seeing A Yuan frowning, Jiang Shiying said: "Don't worry, sooner or later, we can get this debt back from her. Today, we will collect a small amount of interest."

Princess Yongning pushed her into the water today, maybe it was just impulse. But Jiang Shiying could clearly see the look in her eyes that wanted to kill Jiang Shiying.

Since she had murderous intentions first, don't blame Jiang Shiying for wanting to eradicate her.

It's a pity that we have to wait for a while before we can take action. Otherwise, if something happens to the princess, there will be no evidence to accuse her, but she will inevitably be suspected.

Their Majesty is not easy to fool.

Hongying sent Princess Yongning and Ziding to Muxianzhai and came back soon.

Judging from the panting look, she obviously ran back.

Jiang Shiying said: "Why are you so anxious? You're already sweating on your forehead."

Hongying wiped it with her sleeves, smiled widely, and said, "I'm afraid that the empress and Sister Ayuan don't know the way to Muxizhai, so I want to come back quickly so that I can guide you."

Seeing that she was thin and small, Jiang Shiying guessed that she was young and asked, "How old are you?"

"This slave is thirteen."

"Have you been in the palace all this time?"

Hongying nodded.

Their location is somewhat remote, in the southeast corner of the palace.

This place is not close to Danxi Palace, but it is further away from Jiangxue Pavilion.

Therefore, Lu Zhaolin arrived earlier than Lan Hui who went back to pick up clothes.

As soon as she saw him, Jiang Shiying would salute: "I have met your majesty."

He was quickly stopped by Lu Zhaolin: "No need to be polite."

As he spoke, he helped wrap the quilt around her tighter.

Seeing that her hair was wet and there was water on the ground under her feet, which obviously dripped from her body, Lu Zhaolin frowned and said, "As soon as I heard that you fell into the water, I rushed here in a hurry. How do you feel now? ?”

Jiang Shiying smiled and said: "It's okay, Ah Ying is a master of water swimming."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sneezed.

Lu Zhaolin glared at her gently: "She said it was fine. She must have caught a cold."

Then he looked around and didn't see Princess Yongning, so he asked, "Where is Yongning?"
