I don't know what Xia Wanjun said in the maid's ear, but the maid quickly retreated quietly.
Not long after, a maid from the Fifth House came over and handed Ning Wan a note, which read: Help, by the pavilion!
The tone was quite urgent, but Ning Wan really didn't recognize the handwriting.
"Who gave you the note?" Ning Wan asked.
The maid lowered her head, as if she was very scared: "I dare not tell you, but please Miss Ning, please go and see for yourself. If others know that this is the note that I handed you, I will die."
With that said, the maid quickly retreated.
The atmosphere was so well supported that Ning Wan couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
What if there is really someone waiting for her to save her life, but it is inconvenient for others to know?
After all, this was ancient times with many etiquette and rules, and it was not easy for women to survive.
After thinking about it, Ning Wan decided to go and have a look.
So, she found someone to ask about the way to the pavilion, and a servant showed her the way.
As soon as Ning Wan left, Xia Wanjun immediately lied about going to the toilet and secretly took a shortcut to reach Ning Wan first.
There was a pond there, with flowers planted on the edge. Xia Wanjun hid behind the flowers, quietly waiting for Ning Wan's arrival.
Since Ning Wan was not familiar with the paths in this mansion, she walked for a long time before reaching this place. She glanced at the pavilion not far away and found that there was no one there, so she became a little more vigilant.
At this moment, a figure flashed out of the diagonal thorn and rushed straight towards her.
Ning Wan reacted very quickly, turned around and avoided the opponent's attack.
However, just when she wanted to see clearly who was coming, she heard a "pop" sound, and a large splash of water instantly appeared in the pond.
"Ning Wan! You bitch, how dare you murder this princess!"
Only then did Ning Wan see clearly, who was the one soaking in the pond if it wasn't Princess Pingfeng?
She immediately laughed out of anger, stood there with her arms folded, admiring her embarrassment, and said: "You rushed out just now and wanted to kick me, right? I just dodged it, but you fell into it yourself, how can you be so embarrassed?
Are you saying that I plotted to kill you?"
Are the brain circuits of these villains so strange these days?
"I just couldn't stop for a moment. Who told you to hide? Now, hurry up and pull me up!"
With that said, she stretched out her hand, asking Ning Wan to pull her up.
This is a lotus pond. The water itself is not very deep, but there is a lot of mud inside. After Xia Wanjun fell in, she really couldn't get out for a while.
Ning Wan looked at her coldly, with no intention of reaching out, but in the blink of an eye, she understood what Xia Wanjun meant, so she curled her lips, her eyes filled with tears.
The next moment, she ran away, shouting at the top of her lungs as she ran, "Here comes someone, it's bad, the princess is drowning——"
When she called her like that, the originally quiet surroundings suddenly became lively. After hearing the news, the servants of the palace rushed over, especially Xia Wanjun's personal maid.
Xia Wanjun almost vomited blood.
After being shouted out by Ning Wan, both the servants and the guests of the mansion rushed over after hearing the words.
Before she could climb up and hide, the edge of the pond was crowded with people.
"ah--"
"Go away, everyone, go away, don't look!"
Xia Wanjun didn't care about the dirt and smell in the pool, she squatted back directly.
If so many people see her like this, how can she marry the prince this year?
It's all that bitch Ning Wan's fault!
…
Ning Wan didn't care how Xia Wanjun came out of the pond. After all, it was all her own fault. After leaving the pond, she quickly returned to the banquet.
Zisu asked softly: "Miss, are you okay?"
Ning Wan shook his head at her. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would be the one struggling in the pond now.
Xia Wanjun wanted to ruin her reputation, so she treated him the same way as he did!
"Miss Ning, what are you talking about so happily?"
Concubine Yu, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but talk to Ning Wan again.
Ning Wan could only reply respectfully: "Back to your Majesty, when I went to the hut just now, I discovered something very interesting. There was a bee that was collecting its own honey. Unexpectedly, a domineering bee rushed over halfway.
I bumped into it, trying to squeeze the original bee away, but it used too much force, and ended up hitting the tree by itself."
"Pfft~"
The crowd burst into bursts of muffled laughter. Why didn't they know before that Miss Ning's speech was quite interesting since she stopped being stupid?
Only Concubine Yu picked up the tea and took a sip, thoughtfully.
"Then, will that stupid bee just hit me to death?" A girl asked curiously.
Ning Wan shook his head: "No, that bee is very lucky."
Isn't it a lucky fate? If the water in the pond hadn't only reached her chest, Xia Wanjun's body would have been completely cold by now.
Just as everyone was chatting in a lively atmosphere, a burst of rage suddenly came from the entrance to the garden: "Ning Wan! I'm going to kill you!"
Concubine Yu's face changed, and she scolded calmly: "Princess Pingfeng, does she regard the palace as her own home?"
