Chapter 21: Out of the Palace

When I woke up the next day, it was already dark outside the window.

Sheng Changning opened her eyes sleepily, and she couldn't see the scene in front of her clearly, she subconsciously reached out to rub her eyes, and then realized that she was still holding the jade plate.

She had always slept peacefully, so even if the jade plate had been lying in her hand all night, it was still in its place, and it did not roll anywhere else.

Looking at this clear jade, Sheng Changning was silent for a while. She wanted to go out of the palace, but she couldn't be discovered.

What's more, Yuan'er is glued to her all day long, and if Sheng Changning wants to sneak out, he has to describe it in one word - "difficult".

She was thinking sadly, when Yuan'er's voice came from outside: "Princess, can you get up?" Do slaves and maids have to bring in water? ”

Sheng Changning stuffed the jade plate into the soft pillow under his head, and his thoughts were racing, and he already had a countermeasure.

"You let Bai Lu in."

As she spoke, she coughed under her breath twice.

Yuan'er outside heard this, and hurriedly called people in a hurry, "What about Bai Lu?" …… Why don't you go and call people back, why didn't the princess know where to run when she was looking for her? ”

After a while, Bai Lu was glared at by Yuan'er, took the hot water from the copper basin, and trembled into the room.

Yuan'er waited behind the curtain with her heart, she inexplicably felt her eyelids jump fiercely, and before any strange thoughts rose in her heart, she heard an exclamation from inside.

"Princess, you-"

It was Bai Lu's voice, blurted out in horror as if she had seen something, but quickly suppressed it.

Yuan'er clasped her hands together, so anxious that she couldn't wait to immediately open the curtain and rush in to find out.

Can...... Princess Fang Cai spoke, and only Bai Lu's girl was allowed to go in alone...... Now Yuan'er doesn't dare to disobey her words, since the princess moved into this Shufang Palace, it seems that the whole person has become strong and ruthless, not only to others, but also to her.

Thinking of this, Yuan'er couldn't help biting her lower lip, and she was about to ask inside, only to hear the princess's somewhat indifferent voice come from, "You all stand down, just have Bai Lu to serve today." ”

Yuan'er seemed to faintly hear the princess's slow cough, she lowered her eyelids, and finally didn't say anything more.

"No......"

With this answer, the little palace maids behind him all looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

The door of the palace was slowly closed again, leaving only a palace maid guarding the door outside the hall, the north wind howled, blowing a chill, when the palace maid was shivering with cold, the palace door was opened from the inside again.

"Sister Lixia? Are you on duty today? ”

The palace maid who leaned out was Bai Lu, she was blown by the cold wind, and the warmth of her body that was originally covered by her body suddenly dissipated, and she quickly turned around and closed the door of the palace tightly.

Bai Lu was puzzled at this time, and asked again in a low voice: "It was you yesterday, why did you become you today?" Isn't it the stinger's turn? ”

The palace maid and Bai Lu, who are called Lixia, and the "sting" in Bai Lu's mouth, the three of them are the last palace maids who were given into the Shufang Palace together, and there are two small chamberlains.

The rank of the five of them is not comparable to that of Lady Mo and Yuan'er, and they all have to take turns to do such work as guarding the door, keeping vigil and sprinkling and sweeping.

Lixia was so cold that she couldn't speak very well, she was already angry, but now when she saw Yuan'er coming to ask, she said bluntly: "She? climbed up to Yuan'er and ran behind people all day long...... How could she come to such a thing of suffering? ”

As he spoke, Lixia's words changed again, and his voice disappeared a lot, "Didn't you go to serve the princess?" What's wrong with it coming out again? ”

"That's the case, my sister has worked hard." Bai Lu hurriedly said what she meant, "The princess is kind, I'm afraid that the maid guarding here will freeze to death, so I specially sent me out to talk to you, go back to the side hall and rest, you don't have to wait here anymore." ”

Lixia let out a low cry of joy, her frozen hands and feet didn't seem to be so stiff, she rubbed her cheeks vigorously, and asked with a smile, "Really?!" Oh my God! The princess is really compassionate......"

Bai Lu urged her to go, "Go back quickly, but... When it comes to the meal, I still have to take a trip to Sister Lao and bring the meal in, and the princess is a little cold today, and she is reluctant to go out......"

Hearing her words, Lixia didn't have much doubt, waved his hand again and again, trotted away, and responded: "I knowβ€”don't worry!" ”

Bai Lu stood at the door and watched for a while, watching her walk away, Bai Lu exhaled softly, and then opened the door of the temple with some cold fingers, and closed it quickly after entering.

………………

Unexpectedly, from letting Bai Lu go to the palace maid who guarded the door, to Sheng Changning leaving the palace in Bai Lu's civilian clothes, everything was extremely smooth.

Sheng Changning thought that it would be a little difficult to meet those guards at the palace gate, and she had already thought of many countermeasures in her mind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the big brothers of the guards took the jade plate, they opened the palace door and let her go directly, without even interrogating her.

Looking at the flying peck carved eaves of the Chu Palace, gradually moving away behind her, Sheng Changning couldn't help sighing, in vain she struggled for a long time before she walked to the palace gate......

After walking for a short time, he was greeted by a bustling and lively street, the crowd was bustling, and the shops and stalls on the side of the street were overwhelming, Sheng Changning couldn't help but stare at it a little bit.

She has not seen such a vivid ordinary day for many years, and there may be some noisy voices in the ears of others, falling on her ears, but for no reason she is very at ease and quiet.

"Girl, look at this, this hairpin is made of sandalwood!"

"Hey...... The cloud cake slices that have just come out of the pot! Girl, would you like to have a taste? ”

When Sheng Changning walked by, she couldn't help but smile when she stopped a few more glances to provoke the call of the stall owners, she couldn't help laughing, and picked up the sandalwood hairpin with crooked eyebrows, she looked at it carefully, this texture is obviously not sandalwood, but it is better to polish it by hand, and the pattern can be seen.

So Sheng Changning shook the hairpin and said with a smile: "Little brother, this is just an ordinary peach wood, how many silver taels?" ”

Ben heard the first sentence, the young stall owner suddenly blushed, obviously very embarrassed, and heard Sheng Changning come to ask the price, he hurriedly stammered and replied: "Count, count your fifty wen, this is what I personally polished, it's not expensive......"

Sheng Changning didn't care, she handed over the silver money in her hand, and pinned the hairpin to her bun.

Fortunately, before she left, she changed some copper plates to Bai Lu, and asked her to pull her hair in a normal style, and now she took off her gorgeous clothes and took off the emerald ring, and no one would recognize her as a princess unless she was an acquaintance.

The stall owner's face was still red, and he handed her a palm-sized bronze mirror, looking small, Sheng Changning took it and looked in the mirror and cut her hair.

The facial features of the person in the mirror may have followed Sheng Changqing's biological mother, compared with Sheng Changning's previous appearance, Sheng Changqing can only be regarded as the gentleness of a small jasper.

Sheng Changning patted his cheeks, and the people in the mirror followed suit, the light in his eyes was bright, as if they were full of stars.
