Chapter 18: Overboard
The queen covered her mouth and yawned very ladylikely. Seeing this, Gu Man retreated.
After coming out of the queen's bedroom, I saw Qing'er walking around anxiously outside. After seeing Gu Man come out, he didn't care that this was the palace, and said anxiously: "The eldest lady, you have finally come out, the little lady has been taken to the imperial garden!" ”
Gu Man listened to the secret saying that it was not good, and said in his heart: What should come is still here! So he hurriedly took Qing'er to the Imperial Garden to understand the situation.
About a quarter of an hour ago.
As soon as Gu Man was called away by the queen mother on the front foot, a group of women from the family walked towards Ji Moyan on the back foot.
One of the women from the family took the lead to greet her, and Ji Moyan also got up and stood up when she saw this.
I only heard the woman laugh and said, "You are the new wife of the Hou Ye?" Why are you sitting here alone? A few of our sisters are going to go to the Imperial Garden to go around and relax, why don't you go with the little lady? ”
Hearing the woman's words, Ji Moyan was taken aback: Imperial Garden? Did Sister Fang Cai let herself not go to the Imperial Garden?
Seeing that Ji Moyan didn't speak, the woman's face was a little dissatisfied, and she sneered, "Yo! Isn't it that our little lady doesn't look down on our sisters' low status and doesn't want to go together, right? Let's go, let's go together, don't dirty the eyes of our Houfu lady again! ”
The other ladies of the family followed suit.
Seeing this, Ji Moyan hurriedly said: "No, I didn't say I didn't want to, since you are sincerely invited, how can I not go!" ”
Hearing what Ji Moyan said, a triumphant smile flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she stepped forward, took Ji Moyan's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "That's the case, then let's swim together!" ”
Ji Moyan smiled and nodded, and went to the Imperial Garden with everyone.
Seeing this, Qing'er whispered to Lan'er: "Lan'er, you follow the good little lady, I'll go to the eldest lady!" ”
Lan'er nodded, and Qing'er took advantage of people's inattention and quietly slipped out.
Lan'er was about to follow Ji Moyan to the Imperial Garden, but saw two young ladies of the family blocking Lan'er's way, and said angrily: "Our masters go to the garden, what are you doing with your maid!" Go, go, go! ”
Lan'er was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to talk back, after all, the one who could come to the queen's birthday banquet was not a figure with a head and a face? Seeing Ji Moyan walking in front surrounded by the crowd, Lan'er didn't dare to shout loudly, after all, this is the palace, and making loud noises will be punished.
So he could only wait anxiously at the banquet alone for Qing'er to see the eldest lady soon.
On the other side, Ji Moyan carefully dealt with the women of the family, and after a while, everyone came to the Imperial Garden. Ji Moyan thought that Gu Man told her to stay away from the pond in the Imperial Garden, so he took the initiative to propose: "I heard that at this time, there are a hundred flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden, and it is said that there is a kind of black peony flower, which is really rare, why don't we go and see it together?" ”
The woman at the head shook her head and said, "What's so nice about those flowers and grass?!" I heard that someone in the south dedicated two big carps weighing 30 catties in the palace, and I am afraid that it is not far from Denglongmen! If we are lucky enough to see the carp leaping over the dragon gate, wouldn't it be a great blessing? The sisters said yes, yes? ”
The people around him chimed in: "Yes, we want to see the koi too!" ”
The woman continued, "Since all the sisters want to see the koi, how about we go to the pond?" ”
The man next to him chimed in again.
The woman looked at Ji Moyan and said, "Since everyone wants to go to the pond, the little lady will obey the majority and go to the pond with us to see the carp!" ”
Saying that, without waiting for Ji Moyan to react, a group of people hugged Ji Moyan and walked towards the pond.
Ji Moyan frowned slightly, thinking: Now, I can only take one step at a time!
As soon as I walked to the pond, I saw Princess Tingli and the maid of the first palace standing on the bridge and looking down, as if looking for something else.
So the group went up to meet them.
The woman at the head was the first to salute the princess, followed by the rest of the women.
The woman at the head stepped forward with Ji Moyan, glanced at Princess Tingli, and asked with a smile, "What is the princess doing?" ”
I saw Princess Tingli's face anxious, and said: "The palace has eaten too much wine, so I want to come here to relax, but I didn't notice it for a while, and the earrings given to the palace by the queen mother fell into the pond, which was the birthday gift of the palace when she was seventeen years old!" ”
Everyone listened, and looked at the princess's earlobe, and sure enough, only one earring hung from her ear.
The princess said: "So, the palace has been looking for it here, but the candle flame is really dark, and the palace can't see clearly where it fell, or everyone help the palace to see, the earrings are still in the pond?" Or was it devoured by the koi? ”
For some reason, Ji Moyan always had a bad premonition in his heart, and instinctively wanted to stay away from this pond. It's just that Ji Moyan's surroundings are full of people, and there is no way to retreat.
The woman at the head said, "If that's the case, then let's help the princess take a look!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the already narrow wooden bridge was instantly full of people, the people in front of them were bent down to look into the pool, and the people behind were crowded forward.
Ji Moyan just wanted to leave at this time, but everyone was bending down to look under the bridge, and he didn't want to look at it, so he also bent down slightly to check. Suddenly, Ji Moyan only felt that he was pushed by someone on his waist, and the sky was spinning for a while, only to hear a "plop", Ji Moyan fell off the pond.
When Gu Man arrived, Ji Moyan had already fallen into the water, only to hear the people on the bridge exclaim, and one of them was very pretended to shout: "Oops! The little lady of the Hou Mansion fell into the water! Is there anybody? Save people! ”
At this time, Princess Tingli on the side also said very casually: "Really, where have all these guards gone?" I must ask my father and the emperor to derelict their duties! ”
A group of people chattered for a long time, but none of them really wanted to save people.
And Ji Moyan kept fluttering up and down in the pond, seeing that Ji Moyan's fluttering force was getting smaller and smaller, Gu Man was anxious, looked around, and said in his heart: Shouldn't the second male appear at this moment? If you don't come out again, Ji Moyan will drown! I have been a landlubber since I was a child, and I can't swim, if I go into the water by myself, not only will I not be able to save Ji Moyan, I'm afraid I will have to ride into it!
However, Ji Moyan seems to be really drowning!
Seeing that Ji Moyan's fluttering movement was getting smaller and smaller, Gu Manxin said: No matter what, if you die, you will die, you can't see Ji Moyan drown with your own eyes, right? If Ji Moyan dies, Cheng Mo may have to strangle her to death!
Gu Man plucked up his courage, took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, "plopped", and jumped down.
At the same time, Gu Man heard another "plop" sound.
Gu Man scolded in his heart: Damn! Can't you show up a second earlier?
After jumping into the water, huge fear flooded his whole body, Gu Man only felt that he didn't know how much saliva was poured into his mouth and nose, and finally his consciousness gradually dissipated. Later, Gu Man only felt a tightness on his neck, and he didn't know who grabbed his collar and pulled him out of the water.
Gu Man, who breathed in the fresh air, spit out a big mouthful of water in the pond with a "wow", and when he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar handsome face, staring at him coldly, and his voice was full of anger: "I don't know how to water and still want to save people?" Even if you save people, you still have your eyes closed? You're sick in the head, aren't you?! ”
Later, I heard Qing'er say that after jumping off the pond, she has been fluttering in place, and she is not a meter away from the pond!
Gu Man plunged into the quilt.
Say no more, shame!
