Chapter 172:Rejoice in other people’s misfortune
Dongfang Ruoxue didn’t know what to do, just nodded. Fortunately, the wind was strong in autumn and the weather was hot. Her tulle skirt dried after a few steps. The two of them returned to the front of the Baoyun Hall dripping wet, and immediately someone came around and escorted Dongfang Ruxue to the main hall to change her clothes or to freshen up, naturally there was no need to go into details.
Besides, Lian Mu Han was soaked to the skin, he ignored the palace staff's advice to change his clothes and searched everywhere for the crown prince, finally seeing Dong Fang Jin in a hurry, he immediately approached: "How is it? Did you save An Qinran? Is she injured?"
Dongfang Jin pulled him aside and lowered his voice: “Don’t say anything …”
Then he briefly told what had happened, but of course, he only passed over the matter of Qin Jianren and An Qing Ran without giving the details because he really didn't want anyone to know, he wanted to kill someone even when he thought of that scene!
Fortunately, he arrived in time!
"So how is Qin Jianren now? What do we do with him? If we tell the truth, Qing Ran's reputation will suffer after all, and without punishing him, what can we do to dispel the hatred in our hearts?" Lian Mu Han gritted his teeth.
“I have my own way!” Dongfang Jin finished and looked at Lian Muhan: "You can go and change clothes, there is nothing in here, besides you saved Dongfang Ruoxue, all eyes have seen it, you can't hide even if you want to!"
Lian Muhan nodded and he didn’t say anything. There were more and more people crossing the boat. That Qin Xiangning came over early, and she even asked around to see if everyone knew what had happened to the two Qianjin(young daughters of officials). However she didn't see An Qingran, but saw Dongfang Ruoxue being brought back. About Dongfang Ruoxue, she didn't have much antipathy, but now her antipathy towards her was because she was too close to An Qingran, and so was Lou Wanyue, who was crying like her mother had died!
What is so good about An Qing Ran and why are so many people so good with her?
Why?
However, watching Dongfang Ruoxue coming back without seeing An Qingran, she couldn’t help but have hope in her heart.It didn't matter where she was now, it didn't matter if her brother got what he wanted, as long as everyone saw her come out dishevelled, all purposes would be achieved.
So, she reported with great hope and waited to see what the fun would be like.
Seeing that all the guests have arrived, the prime eunuch and the people of the Ministry of Rites begin to set up the banquet. The high platform has been set up for a long time, as if it was for opera.
There were palace maids and court attendants going back and forth to start setting out the fruit!
Seeing that the banquet is about to start, she has not seen An Qingran’s figure yet. An Ranyue secretly says to An Yanran, “I haven’t seen our jiejie yet. How come no one has gone looking for her? This palace is so weird, it's like nothing happened!"
An Yanran sighed deliberately: “I’m still thinking about whether to inform my father. By now, he would not have known that my sister had fallen into the water. In this imperial palace, today is the day of big celebration, that is, if there is anything unlucky, it should be concealed and covered at this moment ......"
" If something really happens to An Qing Ran, what should we do? The general's residence will be in big trouble. ......" An Yangyue also sighed deliberately.

An Yanran sighed again: ” It’s all the fault of those palace people. If we took that boat, maybe nothing would have happened…”
"Yanyan, speaking of which, we should thank that palace people, don't you think?" An Yanyue suddenly said.
An Yanran looked at her and suddenly smiled: “Maybe we should go to find our jiejie. Dongfang county lord has been saved . Maybe jiejie will have news.”
An Ranyue and An Yanran talk, both of them looking around. In An Yanran’s heart, there was a great hope that she fell into the water eternally and she would never show up. In that way, she really had all her thoughts. She was still thinking, fortunately, she wasn’t on the boat, otherwise, she would be suspected of playing tricks. Now, she would just take advantage of the fisherman’s gains.
TN: fisherman’s gains: profit gained at the expense of others
In this palace banquet, everyone has their own interests.
At this time, the people in the ritual department began to announce the start of the birthday feast. The Emperor and Empress slowly came from the main hall. The Emperor held the Empress’s hand. The Empress’s face was full of happiness. As the two people walked to the top seat, everyone knelt down and worshipped . The Empress and the Emperor sat on the Dragon chair together. Emperor Yunqi was also very happy today. Although his heart was very bitter, I don't know if this was the last birthday of Empress Yun.
And Empress Yun has a smile on her face all the time. Now, all things are under her control. Dongfang Jin has chosen the Crown Princess himself, which makes her very satisfied.
After kowtowing, Emperor Yunqi said: “Today is the Empress's birthday. And about the Empress's wish. Today, the Emperor and his officials are to enjoy together. Don’t stand any big etiquette and be at ease …. Just now heard that there were some accidents that happened to the Dongfang county lord and An Fu Qianjin. In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Zhen will tell everyone now that these two Qianjin were safe and in no danger. The Dongfang county lord is rescued by the young master of Lian’s mansion Lian Muhan. And An Qingran… “
When he said that, An Qingran came out of the hall behind him. She had already changed into a yellow dress, which made her face as white jade. Her eyebrows and eyes were clear and beautiful.
She bowed to everyone, and then knelt down to the Emperor and Empress: “Chennu An Qingran sincerely wish the Empress happiness, longevity and good health. Empress’s grace to save the life of Chennu. Chennu is deeply moved and unable to return the favour…”
“Silly child, Bengong has saved someone's life by raising my hand, and I have also cultivated blessings for myself, do I need you to repay me?" Empress Yun looked at An Qingran, who was kneeling on the ground and smiled happily. “This child is really smart. She was probably afraid of people doubting her reputation. She was afraid that Your Majesty wouldn’t ask her to introduce who saved her. She said it by herself… “

When Qin Xiangning heard this, she was dumbfounded, how could the Empress have saved her? Where was her own brother?
She looked around and didn't see it, and the feeling in her heart was getting worse and worse. Ding Yuan Hou didn't know that his son had caused so much trouble, and was at the banquet, still mingling with the other princes and five ministers.
At the moment, An Yanran and An Ranyue were also stunned for a moment. An Yanran’s mouth twitched twice. This was really good for An Qingran, how could she just meet the Empress!
This way, not only was her reputation not tarnished, but she made people look up to her, while An Zhongtao was relieved to know that his daughter was unharmed, this girl was so disaster-prone, constantly in danger, even on a boat, she would have an accident!
He almost fainted just now after knowing that she had fallen into the water. Such a thing happened on the day of the Empress's birthday. Even if he had lost his daughter, he would have been guilty of failing to protect and educate her, and adding misfortune to the imperial palace. Now not only was he not guilty, but he also saved his daughter, And it was the Empress niangniang who personally saved her. This three-way complete good thing made him feel at last that this daughter was still a strong person, and probably also that she had a wealthy destiny to be so-
