Chapter 8 Entering the Palace
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up along the tall stone arch, and two large copper-colored characters came into view - the west gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qing Yunluo took out his waist card, and the soldiers stationed there pushed open the heavy palace gate.
With the sound of "creaking", a long stone road appeared in front of Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes, and every ten steps on both sides of the stone road were guarded by soldiers with weapons in their hands, and they were heavily guarded.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Qing Yunluo walked in side by side, perhaps because the atmosphere was too depressing, and both of them were silent.
After passing a few palace walls and going around a few cloisters, they stopped in front of a palace.
"This is Princess Anping's bedroom, Yongle Palace. Qingyunluo turned his head and said to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, took a deep breath, and walked in under the leadership of the palace maid guarding the door.
On the main seat of the main hall sat a girl dressed in beautiful clothes and a bright headdress. The girl's skin was fair, her face was ruddy, and she was as delicate as a peach blossom blooming in this spring.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little amazed at the princess's appearance, saluted, and stood in place.
"Princess, this is my friend. Qingyunluo introduced.
Princess Anping stood up, ignored Qing Yunluo, and walked straight to Mu Xiaoxiao's side, staring at Mu Xiaoxiao with big watery eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt very abrupt and embarrassed, and lowered his head.
Princess Anping was a little anxious and said, "Can you stop lowering your head, I can't even see your face." ā
Qing Yunluo couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Princess, can you pay attention, your face is almost on other people's faces, do you see people like this?"
Princess Anping glanced at Qingyunluo, "What do you know, how can I see her clearly if I don't look at her like this!"
Qingyunluo pulled Mu Xiaoxiao back and said, "Princess, you should always take care of it." Can you consider the feelings of the person being watched? ā
"Qingyunluo, why are you elbowing outward, I'm a dignified princess, and I'm so rude to me!" Princess Anping returned to her seat, flicked her sleeves, and said angrily.
Princess Anping was indeed a little annoyed, not only annoyed by Qing Yunluo's words, but even more annoyed by the fact that although she didn't want to admit that the girl standing in front of her was very beautiful, she had to admit this fact. Even if you look at her so closely, her delicate facial features and white and tender skin have no flaws.
Princess Anping reached out and touched a few small freckles on the bridge of her nose, they were praised by the queen mother for their cuteness before, but now they look really hateful.
"What's your name?" asked Princess Anping.
"The people's girl Mu Xiaoxiao. Mu Xiaoxiao replied respectfully.
Princess Anping felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Qingyunluo and Mu Xiaoxiao standing so close, so she stood up and walked over, pushed Qingyunluo aside, and stood beside Mu Xiaoxiao herself.
Qing Yunluo was pushed by her so inexplicably, and he was a little unhappy and frowned.
Princess Anping made a grimace at Qingyunluo, and continued to say to Mu Xiaoxiao: "I see that you look so beautiful, just go and choose a concubine, you will definitely be selected." ā
Qingyunluo was very unhappy when she heard Princess Anping say this, "Princess, what do you mean by this? You just said that you let Xiao Xiao go to your palace to find an errand, why are you still involved in choosing a concubine!"
Princess Anping looked at Qingyunluo's nervous appearance, and said sourly: "People haven't opened their mouths yet, what are you anxious about!"
The princess teased. The folk girl is just a woman from an ordinary family, how can she have this blessing. Mu Xiaoxiao said, seeing the princess's thoughts about Qingyunluo.
"Princess, if you don't have any suitable errands, then we will take our leave. Qingyun Luo pulled Mu Xiaoxiao and prepared to leave.
"What are you anxious about!" Princess Anping said, "The palace maid Qingwan who groomed me has left the palace, Mu Xiaoxiao, you may be competent for this errand?"
"Thank you for your grace!" Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly saluted.
Qingyunluo saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was very willing, and it was difficult to say anything.
"This princess's personal maid is a second-grade palace maid, and she won't treat you badly. Princess Anping said.
"I beg the princess to take good care of me as a friend. Qing Yunluo said with a sincere face.
"Qingyunluo, you asked me to take care of other women in front of this princess, did you consider my feelings?" Princess Anping said angrily.
"I hope the princess will forgive me. Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.
"Qingyunluo, you can go back. I still have something to say to her alone. Princess Anping pushed Qingyunluo out of the door, and by the way, the other palace maids were also blasted out.
There were only two people left in the house, Princess Anping and Mu Xiaoxiao, who was a little nervous and waited for the princess to speak.
Princess Anping pulled Mu Xiaoxiao to the table, Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised, but she had been pressed to the stool by Princess Anping.
Princess Anping put her hands on her cheeks and said, "I can see that Qingyunluo likes you, right?"
"The princess misunderstood, we are just friends. Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained.
Princess Anping shook her head and said, "No, I can see it." However, I like him, very, very much, and I don't like him if he doesn't marry. Do you understand?"
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised by the princess's confession, looked at her smart eyes, and had to nod.
Princess Anping saw Mu Xiaoxiao nodding, thinking that she understood her intentions, and said, "So I don't allow anyone to snatch him." Because I know that he cares about you very much, I am willing to help him, find you an errand in the palace, and also give you a good treatment. But I want you to stay away from him, okay?"
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the princess's serious expression, felt a little bitter in her heart, and said: "You are a princess who is high, there are many ways to keep me away from Qingyunluo, why do you choose to tell me in person? I am just a grass people, and it is not worth the princess's trouble." ā
"Because I like him, I don't want him to be sad. I'm not going to choose the way to embarrass you. Princess Anping said, without any pampered appearance.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that this princess was not as pampered as Qingyunluo said, and his big fool didn't know the princess's hard work for him.
What about himself? Mu Xiaoxiao thought of all the things he had spent with Qingyunluo these days, the marriage contract that had not been returned and would not be honored, and some more distant things.
Qingyunluo is his own benefactor to save the people, that's all. Mu Xiaoxiao said to herself in her heart.
"The princess is worried. Qingyunluo and the princess are so compatible, how can I climb high. It's just that we are really just friends, and I will keep my distance from Qingyunluo in the future, and I won't let the princess misunderstand again. ā
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao say this, Princess Anping showed a sweet smile and said, "This is what you promised me." Don't worry, I won't treat you badly!"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, still bitter in her heart.
