Chapter Eighty-Three: The Princess
Li Yi motioned for Saitama to stay in the car and go down first. Because of the distance, Saitama could only hear Li Yi talking to people, but he couldn't hear it clearly. Not long after, Li Yi returned to the car, and the carriage continued to move forward for about a cup of tea before stopping, Li Yi jumped out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand, Saitama hesitated, but still helped his arm to get out of the car. The heat of her skin passed through the thin clothes to Saitama's hands, making her heart beat like a deer.
She hurriedly took the opportunity to look at the house, and between the carriages was parked in front of a black gate, with high pink walls and cyan cornices, and at a glance she knew that it was not an ordinary family, and that the place where they were standing now was only the side door of this mansion.
The door creaked open, and a man dressed as a servant came out, and after saluting Li Yi, he led them into the door, and after walking for a short time, he saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes greeted him. When he saw Li Yi, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted,
"Li Gongzi, what kind of wind blew you here, the princess was still talking about you before. Li Yi also clenched his fists and said to him:
"Mr. Min, has it always been good?"
"There is Lao Gongzi thinking. The princess is in the Guanlan Pavilion at this time, please here. As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, and Li Yiqian gave in and motioned for Saitama to follow. When Saitama first heard the word "princess", she was surprised, this Li Gongzi didn't know what kind of identity he had to do with the princess, but he didn't know which princess it was.
Li Yi was also aware of Saitama's panic, but it was inconvenient to explain anything at this time, so he just gave Saitama a comforting look. Under the leadership of Mr. Min, he walked through the winding corridor, and after walking for a long time, Saitama found that a large lake appeared in front of him. The surface of the lake is sparkling, and there is a circle of willow trees planted on the shore, and the cool breeze is not unbearable at all.
Turning a corner, there was a pavilion in front of it, in which sat a woman, but it was far away, and it was not true. Mr. Min quickened his pace and entered the pavilion to report, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yi slowed down a few steps and whispered to Saitama:
"This is the Ronghua Eldest Princess's Mansion, just answer carefully in a while, don't worry, everything has me." Saitama replied with a low voice.
At this time, Mr. Min came over and asked Li Yi to visit him first, Li Yi glanced at Saitama, signaled her to rest assured, and entered the pavilion. Saitama saw Li Yi's eyes, but she was still uneasy in her heart.
Princess Ronghua is the eldest sister of the current emperor, who was deeply favored by the first emperor and married her to Wen Zhe, the son of Mu Guogong. Wenzhe is dignified, but also both civil and military, and the husband and wife are very affectionate.
But the good times did not last long, in the early years of the Five Kings Rebellion, Wen Zhe relieved the siege for the emperor, but finally died due to serious injuries, and the princess was unwilling to remarry and guarded the system. The emperor thanked his husband and wife for their kindness, and rewarded him with fertile land and countless cloths, but the princess did not want to accept it. Because the identity of the princess was already extremely noble, the emperor gave her son a Danshu iron scroll to seal her son as the king of glory, which became a strange talk for a while, because there has never been a precedent for the son of a princess to be crowned a king.
Saitama saw Li Yi bowing down in front of the princess and saying something, and after a while, she saw an older female official walking towards her. The man walked up to Saitama and bent his knees to salute, but Saitama dared to accept it and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Come with me, girl. Or seeing that Saitama was still hesitating, he said:
The princess told the girl to bathe and change her clothes first, and then to pay a visit, so as not to lose her manners. Saitama heard that Fang was relieved and followed her to a side hall.
"Girl, wait here. The palace maid said. Saitama nodded and asked:
"I don't know, I don't know what to call you?"
"I am a female official serving the princess, just call me Aunt Ma. Saitama bowed her head and sat down as she said, and Aunt Ma went to arrange it.
Saitama looked around the room, and there were a few simple pieces of furniture, but when I saw that the texture was all red sandalwood, the style was exquisite, and the embroidery on it was extremely exquisite.
After a while, Aunt Ma turned out from behind, followed by several palace maids, holding bath beans, bathrobes and other things on the tray in their hands.
"Girl, please. Aunt Ma came over and said,
"Thank you, Aunt Ma. Saitama stood up and followed her to the bathing place. Several palace maids wanted to bathe her, but she was not used to exposing her body in front of strangers, so she politely declined their kindness.
When Saitama was immersed in the water, the feeling of fatigue suddenly came up, but after all, it was not in his own home, so he could only wash and change his clothes in a hurry. Aunt Ma was already waiting outside, and several people helped her dry her hair, change her clothes, and comb her hair in a simple style, and rushed to see the princess.
Saitama followed Aunt Ma to the princess's residence, and it was needless to say that there were all kinds of carved beams and paintings. Saitama didn't dare to look up, only looked down at the road under his feet. Aunt Ma stepped forward to see the eldest princess and said:
"Princess Qiyu, the girl of the Zhang family has been brought. Saitama stepped back with her right leg bent slightly, and placed her right hand on her left hand and placed it flat on her left chest to salute the princess. This action has been done countless times with the parenting grandmother, and this is when it comes in handy, and it is as natural as eating and sleeping. Although his body was tired and there were still injuries under his feet, his body was still shaky and he stood steadily. When the eldest princess of Ronghua first heard Li Yi's words, she didn't have a good impression of Saitama. After all, it is very inappropriate for a boudoir woman to stay outside with a strange man for a night. But at this time, seeing that Saitama behaved dignified and learned the rules well, she showed some bearing, not the kind of light woman she imagined, so she said gently:
"No courtesy. Come here, raise your head and let Hongu take a look. Saitama stood up, took two steps forward, and raised her head slightly.
Saitama saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the top, dressed in lotus blue clothes, with only a phoenix hairpin on her head, her face was white, and a pair of gentle but shrewd eyes were staring at her.
The princess looked at Na Saitama with a slight bow, a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, a small and delicate nose, and a slightly upturned lips. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she has a feeling of wanting to be close, presumably Li Yi's kid also likes her, I have never seen him so attentive to that girl.
Li Yi's father had treated King Rong because he was proficient in medical skills, so the two families could be regarded as good families, so Li Yi dared to ask for the eldest princess's mansion. He didn't dare to deceive the eldest princess, told all about himself and Saitama, and begged the eldest princess not to demolish him. This Princess Ronghua is also very curious about which woman can make Li Yi maintain it so carefully.
Saitama felt that the eldest princess had looked at her for a long time, but she didn't speak, and her heart was already up and down, but she didn't show anything on her face.
"Just now Yi'er told the palace about you, and the palace has ordered someone to go to your house to report the news, and it is said that the palace passed by yesterday and happened to save you, so you will stay here for a few days, and go back when the injury is healed. ”
Saitama was overjoyed when she heard this, and saluted the eldest princess again, but the eldest princess waved her hand and said:
"No need to be polite, this palace is also in Yi'er's face, you just thank him. ”
"Princess Xie's great kindness, Li Gongzi's kindness, the little girl dare not forget. ”
"You're tired today, so go down and rest. ”
Saitama heard the words and salute and retired, and Aunt Ma arranged for a palace maid named Moka to serve Saitama.
