Chapter 2 It is unbearable to be closed in a lonely house
The spring is cold, the wind blows the window sash, and the light rain beats the mullion.
Nine kinds of rouge, more than ten gouache, difficult to paint.
No one understands, heavy makeup, but nostalgic spring.
How do you know, after the joy is the sadness.
When the letterhead is spread out, it is a joy.
The last letter, after the vernal equinox, has not been heard from since.
As everyone knows, the eldest princess of Jun has a strange disease, a disease that can't be married.
In the year of the dragonfly, countless suitors followed.
There are the sons of wealthy businessmen, famous families, and even the nobles of the Holy Land, among whom there are many handsome and beautiful people, handsome young people, and all-round talents in civil and military affairs.
But the king of Jun did not see anything, ignored it, and did not return.
Seeing that the eldest princess was over twenty-one years old.
The eldest princess is the only concubine of King Jun, and she is very doting, except for the inner palace attendants, few people have seen her true face.
People are ugly and weird, they are reluctant to marry, they are sick and don't take care of themselves in the boudoir, and there are constant rumors for a while.
Qiu Hua is the eldest princess's personal maidservant, and she knows how good-looking the eldest princess looks.
Although I don't know what kind of national beauty the three thousand beauties in the Holy Emperor Lingxiao Pavilion of the Holy Land are, I know that there are more than 1,000 noble ladies and concubines in the palace of King Jun, but none of them can compete with the eldest princess.
It is the lord of the Moon Palace, and the Weaving Cloud Fairy is just like this.
If you want to say that you are sick, this is not true.
The eldest princess is indeed sick, and she will look at the sky in a daze on the full night of the fifteenth month every month, with constant cold and heat, rain or shine.
A crane came from afar in the sky, dancing in a slender way.
An old palace maid said that the crane is the eldest princess's sweetheart.
This habit has lasted for many years since Qiu Hua was just promoted to be the eldest princess's maidservant and entered this Fuyao Palace.
"The crane is the Fuyao Palace when the eldest princess was ten years old. This crane also has spirituality, and stays in the Fuyao Palace for one day every month, coming on the night of the fifteenth and leaving on the night of the sixteenth. The eldest princess's nurse Li Niang said.
Strange to say, on the first full moon night after the spring equinox this year, the crane only swirled in the air for half a night, and left before landing in the Fuyao Palace.
Since then, the eldest princess has really been sick.
I don't think about tea, I don't want to eat, I paint heavy makeup at night, wash plain face with tears, and gradually lose weight.
But in the face of the eldest princess's illness, King Jun reversed his old state of spoiling, and did not greet or send him to the hospital. It was only on the summer solstice this year that he proposed to perform a witch show in the palace to exorcise evil spirits for the eldest princess.
In this witch show, all the dignitaries of the Jun Kingdom, the envoys of the Holy Dynasty and the envoys of the various feudal states in the Jun Kingdom were invited.
Because it has long been rumored that the eldest princess will also attend the watching, everyone is looking forward to whether the sick princess of the king of Jun is as ugly as rumored.
The square in front of the Changle Hall of Junwang Palace is displayed with colorful flags and drums. Although there was still half an hour before the witch show was performed, the guests were already full.
Qingyi, the chief administrator of Junwang Palace, specially strengthened the guards in front of the Changle Palace, and nine out of ten the guards in the palace were transferred to the square in front of the main hall.
"Master! You've got to eat something today. Otherwise, let those dignitaries see your jokes. Qiu Hua took the princess's favorite snack fruit on weekdays, and walked into the Fuyao palace with a mouthful of words.
"Master!"
The bedroom in the inner court was empty.
I guess it's in the study! Qiu Hua then walked through the corridor and came to the study, which was open to the green bamboo window, still empty.
"Master!" Qiu Hua panicked and shouted loudly in the inner court of the Fuyao Palace.
The remaining ten eunuch guards in the Fuyao palace were instantly summoned.
"Did any of you see your master out of the Fuyao Palace?" Qiu Hua asked anxiously.
"We've been guarding the palace gate, and we haven't seen the princess go out!"
"It's over! The master is gone. Autumn fell to the ground in a trance.
After a while, Qingyi, the chief administrator of Junwang Palace, heard the news and led a large number of guards to Fuyao Palace.
Qingyi searched all over the inner court, without any clues, and then found that the eldest princess's nurse, Li Niang, was also missing. I was even more anxious.
It wasn't until he saw the words written by the eldest princess in front of the desk in the study of the inner court that he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
I saw four big characters written crookedly on the blue and red paper: "Father, don't read it!" ”
"Block the news! Grab the autumn paintings! After Qingyi gave the order, he hurried to report to King Jun.
On the square in front of the Changle Palace, the guests were waiting for the arrival of King Jun and the eldest princess, and they didn't know what was happening in the Fuyao Palace of King Jun.
"Punish the sin, king!"
The eldest princess is the most favored princess of King Jun, and now that she is running away under her own nose, Qingyi knows that her sin is unforgivable.
"Get up! I don't blame you. I asked you to transfer the palace guards to the Changle Palace. After listening to Qingyi's report, King Jun was as calm as ever.
Qingyi was puzzled.
"King! Is it now an order to stop witchcraft and send all the guards to find the whereabouts of the eldest princess? ”
"If the princess runs away, if the envoys of the Holy Dynasty and the envoys of various countries know about it, it will be a great shame for my country. Arrest all the eunuchs, attendants, and palace maids in the Fuyao Palace, and return to the Zongren Mansion to be permanently grounded. Blocking the news, the witch show is still the same. Jun Wang said as he straightened his clothes.
"But, king!" Qingyi became more and more puzzled.
"By the way, I ordered the thirteenth to lead the dark forest guard out of the palace to investigate the whereabouts of the eldest princess, find out the whereabouts of the princess, and report it in time. Remember not to disturb and protect until the princess returns to the palace. King Jun waved his hand and motioned for Qingyi to retreat.
"King, or I'll go. After all, Thirteen is only the second master in the palace. ”
"Qingyi! You are not an arrogant person. After the king finished speaking, his face was displeased.
"Yes! The minister retired. Qingyi was frightened and hurriedly retreated.
King Jun's various performances made Qingyi, who had been in the Forbidden Palace for a long time, feel that this was a pool of water, so deep that any curiosity would kill people.
So he quickly followed the king's orders.
"Wang, the eldest princess is leaving, aren't you really in a hurry?"
As soon as Qingyi exited the Changle Palace, a man dressed as a servant walked out from behind the screen and said to King Jun in a strange manner.
"Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father. The situation has changed, but she is willful and reckless, but she has solved a dead game for me. It's better to let her go. ”
"Wang, the eldest princess's unintentional recklessness has indeed broken the checkmate situation, but the dragon trapped in the water may not be as good as the shrimp. Besides, the world is dangerous, only thirteen, in case the eldest princess has three long and two short. ”
"Gamblers need to gamble. You know that Qingyi has never been the number one master in the palace. ”
"Neither is the minister. Your sleeve is pleated. The servant covered his mouth and smiled, and straightened the sleeves of Junwang's clothes.
King Jun walked out of the Changle Palace, and the witch show began.
The guests looked around again and again, but did not find the figure of the eldest princess, a little regretful, it seems that the eldest princess will not appear today.
"Li Niang, suffocate me, can you go out now?"
"There had been no movement outside for an hour, and the witchcraft show had been going on for half an hour. It should be fine to go out now. ”
The princess phoenix in the bedroom of the palace crawled out of the bones under the bed of the princess in the inner court of Fuyao, an old man and a young woman.
"Li Niang, how do you know that Qingyi won't search under the bed?"
"Qingyi's elm head, no matter how bold you are, you would never have thought that as a princess, your honorable identity would hide under the bed."
"Li Niang, will my father surround the Fuyao Palace?"
"No, it won't. The king will definitely not make a noise, and he should have sent his guards out of the palace to find you by now. The witch show began when the palace guards were at their weakest. ”
"Li Niang, then let's leave the palace immediately!"
"Just, princess."
"Just what?"
"You have never set foot in the world, and you can't imagine that this trip is hard, is it really worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
"Good! We went out of the palace, but the prince had to make three chapters with the slaves and maids. ”
"You say, Li Niang."
"First, after leaving the palace, we must go in men's clothing. Identities must not be revealed at any time. 2. Listen to the slave and maid in everything. 3. One year, if we can't find any clues within a year, we will return to the palace. ”
"I promise you."
The old palace man at the west gate of Junwang Palace was yawning, and suddenly two black figures flashed and crossed the wall. The old palace man rubbed his eyes, he must have been dazzled. How can there be such a fast speed in the world?
The witch show has reached the end, and the king raises his glass and smiles and toasts the guests. A eunuch hurried up behind King Jun and whispered for a long time. Jun Wang's face did not change, and he nodded with a smile.
