After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

"I didn't...I didn't look at you."

I turned my head hastily and pretended to remain calm, but the grandeur of the people's livelihood before me was instantly greatly reduced.

Not as attractive to Xie Nanxing as Shen Jinmo's chest.

Xia Ling was followed by three or five eunuchs from the Eastern Palace, who strode to the guardrail of the imperial boat.

His eyes, with a noble smile, fell on the people along the shore, and occasionally glanced at the pleasure boat where the noble lady was.

The bright yellow light was floating, and Shen Jinmo knew who was beside him. He calmly turned around, took Xie Nanxing's wrist and saluted Xia Ling.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

The smiling eyes looked past Shen Jinmo with curiosity and stayed on Xie Nanxing for a moment, and then stayed for a little longer.

For a moment, Xia Ling felt that the noble lady Luo An on the pleasure boat beside him was too dull.

"Flat body."

The dignity in Xia Ling's eyes was replaced by superficial teasing: "Xiao Mo, you have raised Master Xie very well. I am looking forward to drinking in your wedding wine."

Xie Nanxing was not unfamiliar with such words. Since the time in Yunhuai Village, some people had misunderstood the relationship between him and Shen Jinmo.

But the person in front of him is the crown prince, and it is actually inappropriate for him to say such words in such an occasion.

Xie Nanxing also heard Han Zhou talk a lot about Luoan's twists and turns. In the more than 20 years since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, no noble family has ever found a male concubine and held a banquet.

As for men, there is naturally no precedent for them to marry powerful men.

These words seemed to be intended to belittle Shen Jinmo.

He looked up at Xia Ling stealthily, and his eyes met Xia Ling's.

Xie Nanxing didn't like that kind of gaze. It wasn't just admiration for his looks; it was a kind of playful contempt.

"Someone fell into the water."

There was a sudden thunderclap out of nowhere. Xia Ling immediately withdrew his gaze from Xie Nanxing and jumped directly into the Yu River.

Xun Lan stretched out his hand to stop Xia Che but failed. He quickly stepped forward and watched Xia Ling's courageous movement in the Imperial River. His eyes were filled with warning anger as he looked at Li Yuan, the counselor who had been favored by Xia Ling recently.

Seeing that Li Yuan was fearless, Xun Lan immediately realized that this was a poor design.

With his hands clenched into fists and panic in his eyes, he looked at the pleasure boat opposite through numerous obstacles.

Sarcasm, disgust, questioning.

Xun Lan was tortured by Han Shu's gaze, and the blood color on his face completely disappeared.

A gentleman has things he does and things he doesn't do. Even if Xun Lan used all means possible, he could not come up with such a despicable method to destroy a woman's reputation.

Xia Ling climbed onto the imperial boat carrying the drowning woman who had fainted. The palace maids and eunuchs around him hurriedly came up to help Xia Ling change clothes.

"Save the princess first."

The rapid breathing was still there, but it did not prevent the eunuch from listening clearly to Xia Ling's words.

The officials surrounding him fell silent because of Xia Ling's words.

The person in front of me is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official. She came to this pleasure boat because she is on good terms with the princess of the Marquis Zhongqin’s Mansion. How did she become the princess?

Xia Ling lowered his head in wonder, first looking at the woman on the ground, then turned around to look at the figure on the opposite pleasure boat, and finally looked at Xia Hong's smiling eyes.

The curtains in the imperial barge fell one after another, blocking the peeping eyes from all directions.

An unmarried girl fell into the water. Is it the turn of Xia Ling, the crown prince, to rescue her?

Xia Ling knelt heavily on the ground, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

Xia Hong came out of a conspiracy, and not only he could see through such despicable means, but also the cunning people on the imperial boat who accompanied him in his plan to seize the country could see through it.

"Your Highness thinks that the woman in front of you is a princess, so I will confer the title of princess upon her. What do you think, Your Highness?"

The smile on the corner of his lips showed that the superior was in control of the fate of the people in the world with ease. However, this smile, which could not distinguish between joy and anger, made the crown prince prostrate himself on his knees and the nobles in the boat bow their heads and kowtow.

"I am willing to marry the princess as my concubine to protect her innocence."

A trembling voice came out of Xia Ling's mouth. Now that things had come to this, Xia Ling had no choice.

No matter whether the person in front of him was the daughter of a minor official or a servant of some noble, Xia Ling had no choice but to marry her after destroying her innocence in public.

Xia Ling's plan failed and he lost all hopes of marrying Wu'an Hou.

The only thing that made Xia Ling feel a little bit comfortable was that the woman in front of him was still innocent. She was not like Han Shu who brandished swords and guns and mixed with men every day.

The curtain inside the imperial boat was drawn again, and Xia Honglong's eyes were filled with compassion for the benefit of all people. The confused people on both sides of the strait became noisy again.

"I agree." Xia Hong sat on the throne again and made the final decision: "Your Highness is brave and righteous, and he is truly a role model for men all over the world."

……

Dusk had fallen. Xie Nanxing, who had just finished practicing the Five Animal Exercises, was slightly steaming and walked towards the study room at a much faster pace than usual.

Pushing open the door of the study with one hand, Shen Jinmo, who was originally reading a book, hurriedly closed the book and pushed it to the bottom of the drawer.

Xie Nanxing leaned against the door frame with one hand and breathed slightly. He was originally eager to discuss the issue with Shen Jinmo, but was confused by Shen Jinmo's action.

It was as if he had ruined something good that Shen Jinmo was planning.

"If it's inconvenient for you, I'll come back later."

Xie Nanxing felt that he should knock on the door when entering the study in the future.

But this study is used by both him and Shen Jinmo...

"Nothing." Shen Jinmo drank a sip of tea, took his coat and stood up to put it on Xie Nanxing: "Although it has become hotter during the day, it is still a little cold at this time. Don't be greedy for the coolness."

Xie Nanxing put on the robe quite comfortably with Shen Jinmo's hand, and the resentment in his heart caused by the lack of trust was also dispelled by the robe.

He walked to the window and sat down. A gust of evening breeze blew over, and Xie Nanxing exuded a sense of comfort from head to toe.

"Prince Bai Ri is walking towards us, not to greet you or me, but because we are in the best place to jump down and save people?"

"Yes." Shen Jinmo raised his hand and closed the window a little. Xie Nanxing had just sweated, and it would be easy to catch a cold if he wanted to stay cool.

If Xie Nanxing really gets sick again, all his efforts in the past few days will be in vain.

"When the woman fell into the water, the prince was looking at me, so it's not that he didn't want to identify her, but he didn't have time to identify who was under the water."

Xie Nanxing suddenly realized that Xia Ling's action today had not fulfilled his long-cherished wish. Could it be that he should take some responsibility for this face?

"Was he looking at you at that time?" The man who was originally calm and composed suddenly showed a straightforward displeasure in his eyes because of Xie Nanxing's question.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Xie Nanxing felt that Shen Jinmo's reaction was too big: "He is the prince, he wants to look at me, can I not let him look at me?"

"Nothing." Shen Jinmo's lips softened for a moment, without any sign of taking his anger out on Xie Nanxing.

After all, the painful lesson of the Hanzhou incident is still before our eyes.

"Don't worry, no matter who you are, you won't be held responsible."

"Should I avoid him a little in the future?"

"Well, don't think of looking for him as a backer. He is not much better than Han Zhou."
