The Fifth Prince was furious, stomping his foot: "You dare to attack someone in the Imperial Palace!" He reflexively reached out to grab Gu Jiao.
Such a nuisance!
Her fiery little temper!
Luckily, nearby was a water tank housing some lotus. Gu Jiao grabbed the Fifth Prince by the collar and flung him into it!
"Ah——"
The Fifth Prince shrieked.
He toppled into the tank, soaking wet and flailing desperately to climb out, a large lotus flower neatly perched on his head.
The commotion alarmed the passing Empress Xiao.
The day was beautiful and sunny, Empress Xiao originally had accompanied Qin Chuyu to play in the Imperial Garden, but he had run off out of sight after a while.
She was leisurely strolling about when she heard the commotion. Striding over, she discovered the comically soaked and floundering Fifth Prince in the water tank.
Though the Fifth Prince looked pretty disheveled, he was hilariously entertaining to watch.
