After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 57: Don't Leave Again

The Third Prince nodded and grinned.

"This is what a good brother and a good friend is like!"

When Nian Fu heard this, he knelt down hurriedly and said, "The Third Prince is a royal noble, how can we compare with him? Being his friend is already too high for us. We don't even dare to be his brother!"

Nian Bin also knelt down and said similar words.

Seeing that they were extremely respectful to him, the Third Prince was satisfied, but he felt lonely in his heart. After all, as the eldest son, although he had a fourth brother, Hongli, he was much older than him and they did not live together, so the brothers were very distant from each other.

He finally had two boys of similar age, Nian Fu and Nian Bin, to study with him, but they were so afraid of him, which made the Third Prince feel lonely.

Fortunately, they agreed to go out with him. The Third Prince felt better.

........

In the Imperial Garden.

The Queen and the Emperor walked side by side, enjoying the beautiful autumn scenery. The golden ginkgo leaves, the fiery red maple leaves, and the evergreen palm trees all made people feel very comfortable.

In the autumn of Beijing, the sky is blue and far away, which is very beautiful. Occasionally, a few white clouds float by, which makes people feel more comfortable.

As the emperor walked, he admired the blooming red, green and yellow chrysanthemums and was in a very good mood.

The queen looked at the emperor's smile and quietly approached him, "Your Majesty, how long has it been since we took a walk together and enjoyed the beautiful scenery?"

In the distance, a few butterflies were dancing among the blooming chrysanthemums. The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer the queen.

The smile on the queen's face gradually froze.

After a long time, the emperor walked towards the blooming chrysanthemums.

"Are you blaming me for not being with you for so long, Queen?"

"I dare not. That is not what I meant. Your Majesty, you have misunderstood."

The emperor reached his hand into the flowers, trying to stroke the butterfly.

But the butterfly was very sensitive and flew away before it was touched.

"Since you are afraid that I will misunderstand you, then be careful when you speak. You are the queen, and you don't need me to teach you what to say and what not to say."

"I know my mistake."

The emperor put his hands behind his back, turned to look at the queen, and seeing that the queen looked gloomy, he held her hand.

"I seem to hear cheerful laughter ahead. I think there must be something happy going on. Come with me to take a look over there."

Seeing the emperor holding her hand, the queen smiled again.

As the voice got closer, the emperor slowed down his pace. He was very familiar with this voice. He stopped and raised his right hand. Su Peisheng understood and asked the eunuchs, palace maids, etc. to stop where they were.

The emperor glanced at the queen and said, "Come with me to take a look."

The queen nodded solemnly.

They walked to the lakeside and looked towards the center of the lake through the potted plants that were almost half a person's height. They saw the Third Prince playing on a small boat, and next to him were Nian Fu and Nian Bin.

The emperor had seen these three sons of Nian Gengyao before, so he recognized them almost at the first sight.

The Queen secretly glanced at the Emperor and whispered in surprise, "Aren't Nian Fu and Nian Bin accompanying the Third Prince to study? Why are they playing now? Isn't this the time to do homework?"

The emperor remained silent, his eyes fixed on the Third Prince who was playing and laughing.

After a long while, he clutched the Buddhist beads tightly and said coldly: "Every time we test him, Hongshi always says he can't remember anything. I thought he was just slow to catch on. Now it seems that he was just too lazy to study."

The Queen looked at the Third Prince with concern and explained for him, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The Third Prince is still young and he is always a little playful. He will be fine when he grows up."

The emperor turned away with a wave of his sleeves.

"Okay, stop speaking for Hongshi!"

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I also watched Hongshi grow up. He is honest and hardworking, and is definitely not the kind of person who is lazy or slacking off."

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "Go back, I'm tired."

He looked at Su Peisheng, "Just stay here and see when the Third Prince will come back."

Su Peisheng bent down and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

.........

"Third Prince, let's go back quickly! Three hours have passed." Nian Fu watched the time pass by and advised the Third Prince.

The Third Prince is usually under strict supervision and rarely has the opportunity to go out and play.

After being held back for so long, he couldn't control himself when he suddenly played like this.

"Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer."

Nian Bin, who was not very talkative, also lost his temper. He remembered that Concubine Hua had said that he should study hard. But they had been out for too long. If they didn't go back, something bad would happen.

He also advised the Third Prince to calm down and go back quickly.

The third prince refused to listen and rowed the boat away from the shore.

Nian Fu and Nian Bin were both good at swimming, but they could not leave the Third Prince alone. So they could only persuade him hard on the boat.

The Third Prince was stubborn. The more you advised him, the more he would do it.

I just rowed the boat directly to the center of the lake.

Nian Fu became even more worried.

"Third Prince, the water in the middle of this lake is very deep. It's getting dark. Let's go back quickly. Otherwise, if Concubine Qi blames us, we won't be able to afford it!"

When he heard that he was going to tell Concubine Qi, the Third Prince was even less afraid.

"It was my mother who let me out! She would never say anything to me!" said the Third Prince with a smile.

Nian Bin saw that it was getting later and later. If he didn't go back, Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi would be worried. So, while the Third Prince stood up to speak, he sat in the middle of the boat, paddled with both oars, and rowed towards the shore.

When the Third Prince saw that he had to go back, he became anxious.

"Nian Bin, stop right there, stop!"

"Third brother, we should go back and do our homework."

"I command you to stop!"

"Third brother, even if you are angry with me, I must row the boat to the shore and send you back!"

"Stop, you hear me!?"

Seeing that Nian Bin did not stop, the Third Prince tried to snatch the paddle from Nian Bin's hand.

The boat was not as big as the big ship, it was small and less stable. Even if people walked slowly on it, it would still shake, not to mention the Third Prince was walking so anxiously. The boat would shake even more.

The Third Prince grew up in the north, and the biggest river he had ever seen was the moat of the Forbidden City. So he had a poor sense of balance on the water, and his body would shake violently if he walked too fast.

Nian Bin was in a hurry to go back and didn't notice that something was wrong with the Third Prince.

Nian Fu noticed it and hurriedly shouted, "Third brother, don't move, sit down!"

As he said this, he was about to reach out and grab the Third Prince.

The Third Prince turned around suddenly and waved at Nian Fu, "Don't come over here! Do you hear me?"

How could Nian Fu not go? Especially when he saw the Third Prince staggering on the boat, Nian Fu became even more anxious, "Third Prince, don't go any further, come back!"

As Nian Fu spoke, he quickly approached the Third Prince.

When the Third Prince saw Nian Fu coming, he subconsciously tried to hide.

This dodging aggravated the swaying of the boat, and his center of gravity suddenly shifted. In addition, there was water in the boat, and he happened to step on the water. With various unfavorable factors combined, the Third Prince screamed "Ah" and fell directly into the water.
