Seeing that Madam Geng agreed, Qiu Yun smiled inwardly.
"Go and order people to prepare boats," Geng said to Qiu Yun, looking at the boats in the middle of the pond.
"Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, Qiu Yun went to the gatehouse to call the servants to prepare the boat.
Before long, the boat came to rest at the edge of the pond. The boatman stood on the boat, holding the pole, and bowed to Madam Geng, who was standing by the pond. "Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed."
Geng nodded slowly. Qiu Yun, who was standing to the side, helped Geng. "Your Majesty, this servant will help you onto the boat. Please be careful." Qiu Yun carefully helped Geng onto the boat. After they were seated, Geng looked at the boatman waiting on the side and said, "Let's go. I want to take a look around this pond."
"yes."
Although it is autumn, the lotus flowers in this pond have withered early, leaving only a few lotus pods and yellowing lotus leaves swaying gently in the pond. However, some water lilies are still blooming in the pond, dotting the withered lotus leaves, creating a unique scene.
Although the water lily, unlike the lotus, cannot rise several feet above the water for admiration when in full bloom, the water lily can only float on the surface, obscured by the blooming lotus leaves and flowers, displaying its color alone and quietly spreading its fragrance amidst the lotus scent filling the pond. However, now that the autumn wind has blown and the lotus's stage in the pond has come to an end, the water lily continues to bloom, adding a touch of pinkish-green to the pond.
"Your Majesty, look at these water lilies among the withered lotus leaves, they are truly beautiful," Qiu Yun said, pointing to the delicate water lilies.
"Yes, I never expected to be boating on this pond, admiring the water lilies among the withered lotus leaves. It's quite a unique experience." Looking at this scenery, Geng Shi was also very happy, and she found Qiu Yun to be very clever and quick-witted.
Although it's just a small lotus pond, boats often encounter withered lotus leaves in it.
"Your Highness, look, there are wild ducks over there!" Qiu Yun excitedly pointed to the inconspicuous wild ducks among the withered lotus leaves. But before Geng Shi could speak, the wild ducks Qiu Yun pointed to flew up from among the withered lotus leaves, startling Geng Shi into taking another step back.
The boat was very narrow, and Geng was sitting at the stern. She retreated a moment and reached the edge of the boat, nearly falling into the water. Qiu Yun, sitting beside her, reacted quickly and grabbed her. Geng, still shaken, sat back down on the boat, but then heard a 'plop'—Qiu Yun had fallen into the water.
Upon hearing the sound, Geng turned around and saw Qiu Yun in the water. Geng was shocked and immediately told the boatman to rescue her, "What are you standing there for? Quickly get her out of the water!"
"Qiuyun..." Seeing that Qiuyun couldn't swim, Geng was very worried.
"Help……"
Qiu Yun struggled in the water. Upon hearing Geng Shi's instructions, the boatman immediately jumped into the pond, and in the ensuing chaos, Qiu Yun was rescued.
"Hurry back and take her back to Rongyi Courtyard." Upon seeing Qiu Yun, who was unconscious and had been rescued by the boatmen, Madam Geng immediately ordered someone to carry her back.
When Lülan, who was staying in Rongyi Courtyard, saw this scene, she was very surprised and hurriedly went to greet her. Before she could ask what had happened, Madam Geng hurriedly said, "Quickly go and call the physician of the manor."
"Yes." Upon hearing Madam Geng's instructions, Lülan immediately ran out of Rongyi Courtyard, and soon the family physician arrived.
After a series of rescue efforts, Qiu Yun was out of danger.
