Chapter 18
The empress covered her mouth and yawned very ladylikely.Seeing this, Gu Man retreated.

After coming out of the Empress's bedroom, she saw Qing'er walking around anxiously outside.After seeing Gu Man coming out, she didn't even care that this was the imperial palace, and said anxiously: "Madam, you finally came out, Madam, she was taken to the imperial garden!"

Gu Man heard that the secret thought was not good, and thought: What should come is still here!So he hurriedly took Qing'er to the Imperial Garden to learn about the situation.

about a quarter of an hour ago.

As soon as Gu Man was called away by the Empress Empress, a group of women from aristocratic families walked towards Ji Moyan.

One of the women from the aristocratic family took the lead to greet her, and seeing this, Ji Moyan also got up and stood up.

The woman smiled and said: "You are the new wife of the Marquis? Why are you sitting here alone? We sisters are going to go to the Royal Garden to relax, why don't you go with the little madam?"

Hearing the woman's words, Ji Moyan was shocked: "Imperial Garden?Did elder sister tell me not to go to the imperial garden just now?

Seeing that Ji Moyan didn't speak, the woman felt a little dissatisfied on her face, and sneered, "Yo! Could it be that our little lady doesn't like the low status of our sisters, so she doesn't want to go together? Forget it, let's go, let's go together, Just don't dirty the eyes of Mrs. Hou Fu!"

Women from other aristocratic families also followed suit.

Seeing this, Ji Moyan hurriedly said: "No, I didn't say I didn't want to. Since you all sincerely invite me, I have no reason not to go!"

Hearing what Ji Moyan said, a triumphant smile flashed in the woman's eyes, then she stepped forward, took Ji Moyan's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "That's it, then we will swim together !"

Ji Moyan nodded with a smile, and followed the crowd to the Royal Garden.

Seeing this, Qing'er whispered to Lan'er, "Lan'er, you and the little lady, I'll go find the eldest lady!"

Lan'er nodded, and Qing'er slipped out quietly while no one was paying attention.

Lan'er was about to follow Ji Moyan to the imperial garden, but saw two ladies from aristocratic families blocking Lan'er's way, and said angrily: "Our masters are going to visit the garden, what are you doing with me! Go, go!"

Lan'er was dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't dare to talk back. After all, the one who could come to the Queen's Empress's birthday banquet, wasn't he a person with a head and a face?Seeing Ji Moyan walking in the front surrounded by the crowd, Lan'er didn't dare to shout loudly, after all, this is the imperial palace, loud noises will be punished.

So she could only wait anxiously at the banquet for Qing'er to see the eldest lady soon.

On the other side, Ji Moyan cautiously dealt with the ladies of the aristocratic family, and after a while, everyone came to the imperial garden.Ji Moyan thought about what Gu Man told her to stay away from the pond in the imperial garden, so he offered to propose: "I heard that in this season, a hundred flowers are blooming in the imperial garden, and it is said that there is also a black peony flower. It's really rare, why don't we go and see it together?"

The leading woman shook her head and said, "What's so good about those flowers and grass?! I heard that someone in the south dedicated two big carps weighing thirty catties to the palace. I’m afraid it’s not far from climbing the Dragon Gate! If we are lucky enough to see a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, wouldn’t it be a great blessing? Don’t you think so?”

The people around all agreed: "Yes, we also want to see that koi!"

The woman continued: "Since all the sisters want to see the koi, how about we go to the pond?"

The people around him echoed again.

The woman looked at Ji Moyan and said, "Since everyone wants to go to the pond, my lady will obey the majority and go to the pond with us to see the carp!"

Saying that, without waiting for Ji Moyan's reaction, a group of people surrounded 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 they reached the pond, they saw Princess Tingli and a court lady standing on the bridge looking down, as if they were looking for something.

So a group of people went up to meet them.

The leading woman saluted the princess first, and then the rest of the women followed suit.

The leading woman walked forward with Ji Moyan, gave Princess Tingli a look, and asked with a smile, "What is the princess doing?"

Princess Tingli looked anxious, and said: "I ate too much wine, so I wanted to come here to relax, but I didn't notice for a while, and dropped the earrings given to me by the queen mother into the pond. What about my birthday gift when I turned 17!"

Everyone listened and looked at the princess's earlobe. Sure enough, there was only one earring hanging on the ear.

The princess said again: "So, I searched here, but the candle is really dark, I can't see where it fell, or, everyone, help me to see, then Is the earring still in the pond? Or was it swallowed by the koi?"

For some reason, Ji Moyan always had a bad premonition in his heart, and instinctively wanted to stay away from the pond.It's just that Ji Moyan's surroundings were full of people, and there was no way to retreat.

The leading woman said: "That's the case, then let's help the princess take a look!"

As soon as the words were finished, people stood on the narrow wooden bridge in an instant. The people in front bent over to look into the pool, while the people behind crowded forward.

Ji Moyan just wanted to leave at this time, but everyone was bending over to look under the bridge, and he couldn't just look at it, so he also bent slightly to look under the bridge.All of a sudden, Ji Moyan felt that someone pushed his waist, and his world was spinning for a while, and he heard a "plop", and Ji Moyan fell into the pond.

When Gu Man arrived, Ji Moyan had already fallen into the water, and everyone on the bridge exclaimed, and a woman among them shouted very pretendingly: "Oh! The little lady of the Hou's mansion fell into the water! Is there anyone? Hurry up and save people!"

At this time, Princess Tingli also said casually: "Really, where have all these guards gone? I must tell Father Huangshen that they have neglected their duties!"

A group of people chattered for a long time, but no one really wanted to save people.

But Ji Moyan kept bouncing up and down in the pond, seeing Ji Moyan's bouncing force getting smaller and smaller, Gu Man was very anxious, looked around, thinking: Shouldn't the male second appear at this moment?If she doesn'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, not only won't I be able to save Ji Moyan, but I'm afraid I'll have to get in too!
However, Ji Moyan seemed to be really drowning!

Seeing that Ji Moyan's thumping movement became smaller and smaller, Gu Man thought to herself: "Don't worry about it, if you die, you will die. You can't see Ji Moyan drowning with your own eyes, right?"If Ji Moyan died, Cheng Mo would have to strangle her too!
Gu Man plucked up her courage, took a deep breath, then closed her eyes, and jumped down with a "plop".

At the same time, Gu Man heard another "plop" sound.

Gu Man cursed inwardly: Damn!Can't you show up a second earlier?

After jumping into the water, great fear flooded her whole body, Gu Man only felt that she had poured a lot of saliva into her mouth and nose, and finally her consciousness gradually lost consciousness.Later, Gu Man only felt a tightness in her neck, and someone grabbed her by the collar and lifted her out of the water.

Breathing in the fresh air, Gu Man spat out a big mouthful of water from the pond, opened her eyes and saw a familiar handsome face, staring at herself coldly, and said angrily in her voice: "You want to save people even if you don't know how to water? It's fine to save people, but you still close your eyes? Are you mentally ill?!"

Later, I heard Qinger say that after she jumped off the pond, she kept thumping in place, not even one meter away from the pond!
Gu Man plunged into the quilt.

Stop talking, shame on me!
