The court lady who danced "Snow Moon, Wind Flower" - this position was more serious than Shui Xinyuan thought.

Two days after the emperor's banquet ended, Shui Xinyuan was summoned to attend the banquet again...

The warm breeze blows listlessly in the afternoon of dense and thin bamboo leaves.

In the garden of Longquan Palace, which was originally used to entertain guests, there were Lu Fusu and five nobles. It was unclear why there were five noble daughters present.

"What the hell is going on..."

Qing'er, who accompanied Shui Xinyuan again, looked at the banquet with cold eyes and murmured.

Yao'er was dancing in front, but Shui Xinyuan knew that Qing'er was not referring to Yao'er.

Five noble daughters sat around Lu Fusu.

He looked extremely docile, with his head lowered, but his eyes were undoubtedly looking at Lu Fusu.

"Okay! It's so beautiful, beautiful dance, very exciting!"

After Yao'er's dance was over, the drunken nobles applauded.

"Although the dance is also beautiful, Your Highness, what do you think of sitting at the table with the daughters of various families present today?"

"..."

Lu Fusu did not change his troubled expression, glanced at the girls around him, and sighed softly.

"Minister of Punishment, I originally heard that you wanted to talk about government affairs, so I came here. Please tell me what is going on?"

The minister named Ban on the other side smiled and pointed at the five daughters.

"This is also a government matter! Prince. At the banquet a few days ago, everyone saw that the emperor's situation was not good. With all due respect, the day when the prince will succeed is not far away. When the time comes, you should understand that you must choose a queen.

"

"...Do you want me to choose one here today?"

"No, no, no! This, how should I put it? In short, it is just for reference."

"Dirty..."

Qing'er cursed softly.

Of course, the adult couldn't hear him at this distance, but Shui Xinyuan still hurriedly poked Qing'er's belly.

……really.

The day has indeed come.

All the daughters present have snow-white skin, are slender and steady, and even their fingertips are beautiful.

...It was not easy to meet His Highness Fusu...

If you look over there, you will see those extra beauties. If you had known, you might as well not have called us...

Shui Xinyuan even began to hate "Snow Moon Wind Flower".

...But, I am a dancer...

Since I was called, I must dance my best dance. This is my duty.

"Okay, who's next?...By the way, the court lady who danced 'Snow Moon Wind Flower' must be here too!"

"..."

Shui Xinyuan walked forward and saluted.

Lu Fusu looked at Shui Xinyuan with a somewhat troubled expression.

...Why do you show that expression...

Facing Lu Fusu's hesitation, Shui Xinyuan just narrowed his eyes slightly and responded with a smile on his lips.

Make preparations.

At the same time as the music, Shui Xinyuan started dancing.

At this moment……

"Danger!"

At the same time as the screams were shouted, a woman rushed towards Lu Fusu, and the two fell off their chairs.

"help……"

Shui Xinyuan stopped dancing.

An arrow was pierced deeply into the back of the chair where Lu Fusu was sitting just now.

"what happened?"

"It's a bow and arrow... there's an assassin!"

"Who did it?"

"Come here, there's a figure over there..."

Everyone was talking about it, and the court ladies and maids were shouting and running away to the left and right.

"Shui Xinyuan!"

Qing'er pushed through the commotion and ran over, grabbing Shui Xinyuan's wrist.

"Does it matter?"

"I……"

"That arrow just passed right next to you!"

Shui Xinyuan turned around and saw only the dense trees in the wide garden.

"Your Highness Fusu..."

"He's fine, look..."

Lu Fusu stood up, but the woman who rushed towards him was still wrapped around his arm.

"Are you injured, Your Highness?"

"Is Bao Ji of the Cao family injured? Thank you for noticing..."

The rich lady named Baoji firmly grasped Lu Fusu's sleeves, crying and shaking at the same time.

"Woo, so scary... so scary..."

"Yes! But you have done a great job, Baoji, you saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Who did such a thing..."

"I am now sending someone to search for the assassin! Your Highness, you and Bao Ji can go in together!"

Lu Fusu immediately turned back to look at Shui Xinyuan, but surrounded by people, he and several daughters were forced to enter the house.

Shui Xinyuan watched all this blankly.

The target of the arrow sniper was obviously Lu Fusu. If the daughter named Bao Ji hadn't discovered it, Lu Fusu's life would have been in great danger.

The heavy impact seemed to be about to break Shui Xinyuan's heart.

"Shui Xinyuan, it seems that the banquet should be over, let's go back!"

"..."

"Shui Xinyuan?"

The emotion in my heart is indeed something close to unwillingness.

…

The person who relieved the prince's crisis was Cao Baoji, the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. This matter was spread throughout the palace that day because of word of mouth among the palace servants.

Gossips from court servants are always exaggerated. This time, it was later revealed that Cao Baoji was the savior of His Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, after the Crown Prince became the emperor, he would definitely be appointed as the queen immediately.

These rumors were circulating everywhere and naturally reached Shui Xinyuan's ears, but Shui Xinyuan did not join the discussion circle and just stayed in his room to meditate.

Not willing to give in.

Even though she was preparing to dance, she did not pay attention to the arrows passing by her, and she could not protect Lu Fusu.

If he had noticed it earlier and tried his best to block it, His Highness Fusu might not be so dangerous...

He didn't notice, failed to protect, and all this opportunity was taken away by the noble daughter.

Shui Xinyuan felt that he had been taken away!

Cao Baoji protected Lu Fusu, who was more important to Shui Xinyuan than anyone else. Logically, she should be thanked.

However, seeing the beauty clinging to Lu Fusu, Shui Xinyuan felt like Cheng Yaojin had escaped halfway.

...must think of a way...

She should be happy that Lu Fusu was safe, but Shui Xinyuan regretted her failure to protect Lu Fusu.

Yes, Lu Fusu was safe and sound, but there is no doubt that Lu Fusu was sniped by an archer.
