The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.
Chapter 48: Two sisters fell into the water
The royal family had a palace in the eastern suburbs. The palace was built against the mountain and there were many hot springs underground. The surrounding temperature was warm and humid.
The Queen Mother had a headache and could not stand the cold, so she spent most of the winter time in the temporary palace. This year, she left the palace and went to the temporary palace on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the empress dowager's birthday. Coincidentally, the empress dowager had a headache a few days ago. Emperor Yuanjing was concerned that the empress dowager was not in good health and could not travel back and forth, so he ordered the empress to lead the concubines and the women of the official family to the temporary palace to accompany the empress dowager to celebrate her birthday.
The three oldest daughters of the Yan family were on the invitation list. When Su got the news, she rushed to Yaqingyuan as soon as possible.
"Qing Jie'er, you haven't fully recovered yet. Going to the palace is tiring. I'd better refuse it for you!"
"My daughter has been cooped up in the house for more than ten days, and her body is almost covered with hair and mold! I heard that the East Suburb Palace is now as warm as spring, and many flowers are blooming. My daughter wants to go and see!" Yan Mucheng insisted.
Su was still worried, "Mother is busy at home and can't spare the time to go with you. Are you sure you can handle it?"
"My daughter has already stopped taking the medicine, and her body is almost recovered. Besides, it's only a half-day journey, and she has several aunts accompanying her, so she will be fine!"
Seeing her daughter's insistence, Su had no choice but to compromise.
They set out a day in advance. On the fourteenth day, when the sky was just beginning to turn light, the carriages of the Yan Mansion and the Su Mansion met at the city gate, and several carriages from the two mansions went onto the official road together.
Yan Muxi was annoyed by Qian Manman's nagging. When she saw Yan Muching got on the Su Mansion's carriage, she took a bunch of food and went to the carriage at the back to ride with Yan Muyun.
Yan Muxi ate as long as he walked. When they were almost at the palace at noon, Yan Muyun couldn't help it anymore.
"Yan Lao Er, you are not some kind of monster, are you?"
Yan Muxi glanced at her and said, "Speak human language!" As he spoke, he took a big bite of the peanut crisps in his hand.
Yan Mujun's eyelids twitched as she watched, "You haven't stopped eating all the way here. Your belly is so big, where did all the food go?"
Yan Muxi glanced at the pile of food that had shrunk by half and realized that he had indeed eaten a lot.
But I still don’t feel too full, my stomach feels like there’s a hole in it, I’m not really hungry, but I just want to eat.
Forget it, I'd better not eat it. Otherwise, I'll die of bloating later and the other kids will definitely laugh at me.
The palace covers an area of hundreds of acres and has hundreds of courtyards of various sizes. The horse-drawn carriages of female family members can drive to the gate of the courtyard where they are arranged to stay.
The courtyard of the women in the Minister's Mansion was next to the Su Mansion, so Yan Muqing moved directly into the Su's courtyard.
The courtyard has three main rooms and two side rooms on each side. Qian Manman lives in the main room, Yan Muxi lives in the east wing, and Yan Muyun lives in the west wing, which is just right for each of them.
Just after dinner, Yan Muqing and several girls from the Su family came over together.
Su Yumo invited with a smile, "We sisters are going to visit the hot spring lake. Sister Mu Xi and Sister Mu Yun, would you like to come with us?"
After sitting in the carriage for a long time, Yan Muxi wanted to go back to her room and have a good sleep. Just as she was about to refuse, Yan Muyun spoke first, "Go, we ate a lot for lunch, so it's a good time to walk to digest it."
"I won't go. You guys..." Yan Muxi was halfway through his words when he was pulled out by Yan Muyun.
"If you eat too much and don't move, you may die suddenly. Second sister, why don't you go for a walk with me? Besides, there are few people today and we can still see the scenery. But tomorrow when there are more people, we will just have to watch people!"
The hot spring lake is located at the easternmost part of the palace. It is a small artificial lake connected to the waterfall in the mountain. Because there are many springs underground, the water in the lake is warm all year round.
In the distance, there is a misty waterfall falling from the mountains. Next to the waterfall is a peach grove. The hot steam is rising and the smoke is lingering. The pink and white sea of flowers makes you feel like you are in a fairyland.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"gorgeous!"
……
The girls all stopped to admire and sigh, even people like Yan Muxi who didn't like to appreciate the scenery and flowers stared with their eyes wide open.
After a brief moment of amazement, one was stunned. Such a huge palace was built while still preserving the natural scenery. Only the royal family in this world could spend such a huge amount of money to enjoy luxury.
Due to the obstruction of fog, it was difficult to see people's faces from a distance. Yan Muqing told everyone, "Follow closely and don't get separated!"
Yan Mujun held onto Yan Muxi's sleeve all the way, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
Since they were already here, Yan Muxi had no intention of running away, so she let her follow closely behind the crowd.
When we arrived at a pavilion for nobles to rest, we saw several young ladies already there enjoying the view.
After greeting each other, the maids wiped the water droplets on the bench with handkerchiefs, and the young ladies sat down one after another.
Seeing Yan Mujun still pulling at her sleeve, Yan Muxi said unhappily, "You can let go now. If someone doesn't know, they would think that the third sister is tying up a thief!"
Before Yan Mujun opened her mouth, Yan Muqing said softly, "Second sister, please stop running around and don't be naughty and offend the noble man!"
Facing dozens of gazes, Yan Muxi responded perfunctorily, "I know, I'm seventeen, not seven years old, I'm not stupid."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid came over and said, "The eldest princess and several young ladies are in the peach forest ahead. We invite you to go and enjoy the scenery together."
No one dared to refuse the invitation of the eldest princess.
Seeing that Yan Muqing, the oldest, was stunned and didn't respond, Su Yumo quickly replied, "Sister, lead the way, we'll go over here!"
To reach the peach forest, one had to walk up the stone steps. After walking for about half a cup of tea, they reached a bend.
At the bottom of the bend is the water inlet of the lake. Looking down from above, the majestic flowing water is terrifying.
"Ladies, hold on to the railings and be careful where you step!" the palace servants reminded.
Yan Muxi was walking at the end of the team and soon reached the bend. Just as he was about to pass, he suddenly felt his sleeves tighten.
"Ah!!!" Yan Muyun, who was walking in front, suddenly screamed in surprise.
Feeling something was wrong, she subconsciously grabbed Yan Muyun's wrist with her backhand and used her other hand to grab the railing that had broken for no reason.
However, the railing was as thick as an adult man's arm and was slippery with water. She could only grab half of it and could not exert any strength at all.
Seeing that Yan Muyun's body had already slid down most of the way, she decisively let go.
She couldn't swim, so there was no need for her to jump in with the others. This would save the palace servants one less person to rescue when they went into the water to rescue her, and would also save a lot of effort.
After letting go, Yan Muxi quickly grabbed a branch nearby and shook a few times before barely able to steady himself.
With a loud "plop", she watched Yan Muyun fall into the misty water and disappear in an instant.
Just as she was about to shout for help, she felt someone kick her on the butt. It hurt so much that her body fell forward uncontrollably.
"Crack!" The branch she was holding broke. Without a force point, her body fell down like a kite with a broken string.
Before falling into the water, Yan Muxi had only one thought: she could not die, she must stay alive so that she could dig up the ancestral grave of the person who kicked her.
Woo woo woo… I heard that death from drowning is extremely painful. Damn, who on earth wants to kill her?
"Come and save people! Someone fell into the water!"
"Help! Miss Yan fell into the water, Miss Yan fell into the water..."
The ladies screamed and made a mess.
"Miss!" Yin Xia squeezed over with all her might, wanting to jump down with Yan Muqing, but was hugged by Yan Muqing's maid Lan Shuang.
"The water is flowing to the hot spring lake downstream. If Sister Yinxia jumps in, she will be washed away with him. It's better to go directly downstream to save people!"
