When the three of them walked into Huaide Hall, there were fallen leaves everywhere on the ground, and no one seemed to be cleaning them.

After her husband passed away, Mrs. Yu took two female envoys with her and lived in the inner courtyard of Huaide Hall, very simply.

Passing Huaide Hall, we arrived at another courtyard.

There are a lot of vegetation in the yard, but they are not taken care of and are a bit messy.

Passing through this courtyard again, I saw a pond. This side is a bit neater, and it should be close to the Yu family.

Walking east from the corridor to the courtyard gate, footsteps were heard from the opposite side, and then a female envoy appeared. Seeing Zhao Yurui, she quickly bent down and said, "Meet King Yi."

"I want to see my mother. Is she there?"

"Here you are, King Yi, please." The maid raised her head and glanced at Zhao Yurui.

Zhao and Rui's handsome appearance usually attracts women's attention easily.

But when she saw Zhao Yurui bringing two women over, it proved to be quite polite.

Although Mrs. Yu is his nominal heir, there are always inconveniences between men and women.

When Zhao Yurui came to the apse for the first time, he didn't expect that the apse was bigger than the middle hall.

Following the maid, I turned left and right, walked along several corridors, and after passing two courtyards, I finally came to a larger courtyard.

After entering, they saw a corridor on the right side of the courtyard, and rockeries and ponds on the left. This made Zhao Yurui very unhappy. Ancient palaces often had so many ponds and rockeries, which took up space and were unsightly.

If it were him, I really want to flatten these ponds and shovel the mountains.

While he was thinking about these things, he saw two figures squatting by the pond, not knowing what they were doing.

The maid next to her immediately called out: "Madam, King Yi is here."

One of the two people on the other side suddenly called out "ah" softly.

I saw one person stand up first, and then another person stood up. Somehow, the person behind actually bumped into the person in front.

The man stared at Zhao Yurui, his body swayed slightly, and then he was stunned by Zhao Yurui.

With a splash, he fell into the pond.

Let me go. Zhao and Rui can see clearly that it was Yu who fell into the water.

"Ahh"

"Madam." As Yu fell into the river, various people on the scene exclaimed.

Zhao Yurui ran over in three steps and two steps. Without thinking, he plopped and jumped directly into the river.

I saw Mrs. Yu's hands dancing wildly in the air. He quickly grabbed Ms. Yu's waist and was about to drag her to the shore.

"Stop---Stop---Stop---" Suddenly, Yu's angry voice came to my ears.

".." Zhao Yurui stopped where he was as if his acupuncture points were tapped.

I saw Mrs. Yu standing in the river with her face flushed. The water in the river was only up to her waist.

He hugged Yu from behind, and the water in the river only reached his head.

This isn't a pond, it's just a small ditch, and the water is very shallow.

"This" Zhao Yurui reacted and quickly let go: "I'm sorry Yurui, I just came to the palace, I didn't know the river here is so shallow, I'm sorry--I'm sorry--"

Zhao Yurui's face turned red. He didn't expect the river to be so shallow, so he quickly climbed up.

Mrs. Yu felt ashamed and angry, gritted her teeth and said nothing, and struggled to walk up.

The two maids at the side quickly stepped forward to pull her.

Crash, crash, Yu's body slowly approached the shore.

Zhao Yurui glanced out of the corner of his eye, barely daring to look directly, and quickly turned around.

She has few clothes in summer, but now Yu's whole body is soaked.

Mrs. Yu covered her front and lower body with both hands and tried her best to move upwards. After landing on the shore, she ran inside without looking back.

The two maids also followed suit.

Mrs. Xu and Xiaotao also stared blankly at their own King Yi.

Zhao Yurui was slightly better, her upper body was not wet, but her lower body was completely wet.

The scene just now was indeed funny, but everyone knew that King Yi could not be blamed. No one expected that the water would be so shallow.

"King Yi, be careful of catching a cold. Why don't you go back and take a bath and change clothes first?" Mrs. Xu stepped forward and said.

Xiao Tao also nodded quickly.

Zhao Yurui disturbed his head. He came here to rescue the Yu family. He didn't expect such a thing to happen, but I really don't blame him for this. I didn't know the water was so shallow, he said with sadness and anger in his heart.

He stood there depressedly and thought: "That's fine."

The three of them returned the same way.

But after walking less than fifty steps, someone trotted to catch up behind me.

It was the maid just now.

"Prince Yi, Prince Yi." The maid panted and came to him: "Madam asked Hong Xiu to ask Prince Yi if something is wrong?"

Zhao Yurui nodded: "Yurui asked his mother for something."

"Can King Yi wait a moment? Madam is taking a bath, or King Yi has gone back and changed clothes before coming back?" Hongxiu asked.

"No need to change, I'll wait."

Zhao and Rui went back again.

This time, after passing the pond garden just now, we finally entered the backyard.

There was a row of houses in the backyard, and Hongxiu took him to a secluded room.

Xu and Xiao Tao stood outside the door. Zhao Yurui entered and found that it looked like a reception room.

There is a main table in the middle, a stool on the left and right sides, and two rows of guest tables on both sides.

Hong Xiu brought a cup of herbal tea and placed it on the left side of the guest table.

Because he is a junior, he cannot sit at the main table.

Zhao Yurui paid attention to these details and felt that Yu was very cautious and cared about her reputation.

Yu's husband died early. He has maintained his reputation very well over the years and has never heard any rumors. He seems to be a relatively cautious person.

He jumped out of desperation just now and still held her waist.

Just now, both of their bodies were wet again, and they could almost feel each other's body temperature.

Hiss, Zhao Yurui felt a little bad when he thought about it, fearing that Mr. Yu would misunderstand him Qing Tiao.

But just now Zhao Yurui had no such idea at all, they just wanted to save people as soon as possible.

Zhao Yurui thought for a moment in the room with a complicated mood. He didn't know how long it had passed before a voice came from outside.

"Meet Madam."

The voices of Xu and Xiaotao rang out one after another.

Zhao Yurui quickly stood up.

After a while, Mrs. Yu and Hongxiu walked in, but the other maid was not there.

"Greetings to mother." Zhao Yurui quickly saluted again.

Ms. Yu's face was still a little red. She looked at him quickly and then stepped away. She then nodded and walked to the left side of the main table to sit down.

When she passed Zhao Yurui, she might have just taken a shower, and there was a light fragrance in the air, which smelled very good.

"Prince Yi, please sit down. You and I are mother and son now, so there is no need to be polite." Mrs. Yu slowly spoke after sitting firmly.

Her voice is nice and crisp, like a teenage girl. If Zhao Yurui didn't raise their heads, they would feel like they were talking to a little girl.

Because he was a little impulsive just now, he didn't dare to look at Mrs. Yu now. He lowered his head and said, "Yu Rui, I want to ask my mother for help this time."

Zhao Yurui went straight to the point.

Mrs. Yu then said: "King Yi, please speak."

Her tone was a bit stiff and she had no expression. When talking to Zhao Yurui, she didn't look at Zhao Yurui very much. She didn't seem to regard Zhao Yurui as her son at all.
