Chapter 16: The Palace of Eternal Heart
After Grandpa Sun left, I looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, thinking in my heart, who can arouse jealousy with this skin bag that Beilin picked for me?
I thought about it, and smiled at the bronze mirror again, my God, this smile is worse than crying.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, and the palace maid who brought hot water came in with a wooden bucket, and I had no intention of taking a bath, and I couldn't wait to see my senior sister.
So after a quick freshening up, they changed into the clothes they had prepared, which were blue and plain, but they were made of satin, and they were very comfortable to wear.
And the sachet bag on my waist trembled slightly at this time, I immediately reached out and took off the sachet, opened it and saw that the cicada, which had sucked the poisonous blood of the North Lin and became black, had now faded to black, and squirmed its body.
I knew that it was hungry, so I immediately opened the wound that the prince had bandaged for me and put the little cicada on it.
After the cicada sucked a few mouthfuls of blood, its body flipped over, as if it had "fainted" again, and I remembered that I had drunk the "corpse soup" before, and now the cicada drank my blood again, and the body changed color again.
"I'm sorry for the cicada, I'm here?" I looked at it fainting with a round belly, and felt a little guilty, so I hurriedly put it in the sachet bag and carried it closely.
"Knock knock!"
Outside the door, there was also a knock on the door.
I put away my things and opened the door, thinking that I had come to collect the bathtub, only to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing outside my door.
Today, he wears an aqua blue robe embroidered with cloud patterns, his hair like ink is combed into a bun, his eyes like stars are lowered, and his thin lips are still slightly raised under the bridge of his nose.
"This garment is very good for you." He looked at me and said with a smile.
The palace maids and eunuchs behind him all looked at me with strange eyes.
They (they) must think again, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is "blind", and he will be attracted to such a faceless woman as me.
"Your Highness has praised it, Your Highness is heroic, handsome and extraordinary." I bowed my head slightly and said respectfully.
When he heard this, he said, "Let's go, come back later, and have breakfast again." ”
"Yes!" I quickly answered and followed him.
He walked extremely steadily, not at all sick.
Moreover, when his clothes were blown up by the morning breeze, I smelled a faint smell of smoke on his body, which was very good.
As soon as I got out of this Anqian Palace, there were two sedan chairs waiting outside, I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was asking me to follow him as a palace maid, but I didn't expect that he actually prepared a sedan chair for me.
The eyes of those palace maids looked at me even more wrong, and I hurriedly whispered to him: "Your Highness, this is unacceptable! ”
"Yongxin Palace, an hour and a half away from this, if you don't want to sit in a sedan chair, I will accompany you." He looked at me and said with a serious face.
"No, no need, I'll just sit." I was worried about his body and hurriedly got into the sedan chair.
I heard Aunt Zhen say that the sedan chair and the chariot in the palace are all for the master to sit on, and I should be considered a broken rule.
However, it is true that as His Highness said, we sat on the sedan chair and it took more than an hour to reach the main gate of the Yongxin Palace.
The palace maid here saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down and hurriedly knelt down, and greeted him to the side hall.
"Your Highness, please have tea, Niangniang will come over in a while." As she spoke, the maid put the cup on the table.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand and took the initiative to pick it up, but the palace maid's hand trembled and she directly knocked over the cup on the ground.
"Ahh Your Highness spares your life, slaves and maids deserve death, slaves, slaves? She fell to her knees in horror, trembling.
I and the rest of the palace maids stood on the side of the side hall, watching all this, the palace maids here seemed to be very afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince, and if His Royal Highness made any moves, they would be frightened and pale.
"Since sin deserves death, let it be death! Drag it down, the rod will be killed! ”
This sound? Don't? I immediately raised my eyes and looked towards the door of the side hall, and found that it was indeed Xiao Ce?
And next to Xiao Ce stood a woman wearing purple and blue, with a tail and a gorgeous dress, this woman had black hair and a high plate, a crested hairpin on her head, and two golden steps, as well as many jewelry hairpins, looking heavy.
On her ears, she wears a pair of fiery red earrings that resemble peonies, which are very eye-catching.
The makeup on her face is a little heavy, especially the raised eyebrows, which are too thickly outlined, making her look a little fierce, but on the whole, she is a cold beauty.
The palace maids in the palace saw her and bowed one after another, shouting "Yongfei Niangniang".
"Early in the morning, I heard that the prince was coming, and the palace thought it was a mistake, but I didn't expect that it was really the prince's arrival." Concubine Yong's voice was high when she spoke, and her style was a little arrogant.
Those sharp eyes didn't glance at the palace maid at all, but walked straight towards His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Yongfei Niangniang, is this to blame?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a smile on his face, but his tone was not weak.
"How dare you?" Concubine Yong said, flicked her sleeves, and sat on the main seat: "Then, dare to ask, why did Your Highness come today?" ”
After Concubine Yong sat down, she asked bluntly, from her tone, why do I think she has a very poor relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Xiao Ce also walked in, and with a look, the palace maid who had spilled the tea before was immediately dragged down by several eunuchs.
"It's just thirty strokes of the rod, why bother to fight and kill." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Xiao Ce and said.
"Your Highness is merciful, but there are some things, the rules come first, if you let go of this one, someone will make the same mistake in the future! Rod! Xiao Ce said in an expressionless voice, and then those people dragged the palace maid who was desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy out of the side hall.
I looked at Xiao Ce, he was a great disciple of the Heavenly Master, and he really didn't even care about His Royal Highness the Prince.
"The high priest seems to have forgotten that this is the palace, not your funeral house!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face also sank instantly.
Xiao Ce picked up the cup, blew it gently, and then took a big sip of tea.
"Why should Your Highness be angry with a vulgar man?" Concubine Yong sneered: "Your Highness, let's talk about it, why did you come to this palace today?" ”
"I heard that my father wants to canonize a princess from the people." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not hide it and directly explained his intentions.
"It's really weird today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been to see the royal sister on weekdays, how can he care about a girl from the people now?" Concubine Yong touched the sharp golden armor on her hand, with a smile on her face.
And Xiao Ce, who was sitting opposite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his face sank suddenly.
He put down the cup in his hand, stared at His Highness, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, why do you want to see her?" ”
"Curious!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked indifferent.
"Curious?" Xiao Ce was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
"My father already has more than 30 princesses, why should he canonize a folk woman as a princess?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Xiao Ce and asked unhurriedly.
