Chapter 199: Infiltrating the Palace
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, the day that lovers in the world are eagerly looking forward to.
It is also a big day for Jin Haoxuan, the prince of the dark country, to marry Princess Ziqing, the eldest princess of Yaoguo.
The weather on this day was exceptionally clear, with a clear starry sky and a scorching sun.
The entire capital was bustling with people, all intending to catch a glimpse of this prosperous wedding, which symbolized the wedding of the alliance between the Dark Kingdom and the Yao Kingdom.
Xiang Zixi blended in the crowd, dressed in casual clothes, with no joy or sadness on his face, and his expression was indifferent.
From time to time, expensive horse-drawn carriages pass by on the streets, almost all of which are fully loaded with all kinds of congratulatory gifts, and the whole street is crowded. In any case, this is a prosperous era at the national level, how can a nobleman in his country miss a good time to give gifts?
And foreign leaders are even less likely to miss the opportunity for this alliance to make friends.
As a result, there were no more people on the streets.
There are many people, and it is a great opportunity for Xiang Zixi. So that no matter what she does, there will be enough pretense and retreat.
A juggling team of more than a dozen people in front of him was sweating profusely, and sighed while squeezing: "Ah, how can there be so many people? If the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is delayed for a while, this is a crime of killing the head! ”
Someone next to him immediately chimed in and said: "Yes, yes, I heard that the palace has found a lot of juggling teams from the rivers and lakes this year, but when there are so many people, the emperor may not be able to find out that there are more than a dozen people missing!" ”
"Nonsense! There is a special person in charge of the inventory, how can it be fooled! Let's hurry! Hurry up and enter the palace is serious! The team leader immediately turned around and reprimanded his subordinates: "When you cooperate with other teams for a while, your temper will be collected by Lao Tzu!" If there is a stubble, I can't protect you! ”
"Got it, got it, boss!" A few subordinates replied listlessly.
Xiang Zixi, who was following behind, frowned, it turned out that several teams were cooperating, since this was the case, his actions were more convenient!
The figure flickered slightly, broke away from the crowd in an instant, and walked straight to the city gate in the distance.
"Who? Hold it! The guards at the city gate suddenly showed their weapons and blocked the way to Zixi: "It is strictly forbidden for idlers to enter and exit here!" ”
Xiang Zixi smiled lightly, took out the gold medal given to him by Xiahou Junhao from his arms, and said softly: "I am a female official from Yaoguo!" On the orders of my Yaoguo monarch, I will come to your palace in advance to confirm the matter. My princess Ziqing of Yaoguo is about to marry the prince of your country, and I can't afford to miss the slightest! If there is a slight mistake, it will lose the face of your dark country! You have to think about it! ”
The two soldiers guarding the door, you look at me, I look at you, and one of the soldiers said, "In this case, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll go in and make a report!" ”
The soldiers guarding returned the gold medal to Xiang Zixi, and nodded to Zixi with a smile: "Then there is labor!" ”
The soldier turned around and went in to pass the report, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Zi Xi's mouth, and his right hand unexpectedly grabbed the neck of another soldier, and gently broke his hands! There was only a slight click, and the soldier's body fell limply to the ground.
Xiang Zixi quickly dragged the dead soldier aside, ripped off his clothes, quickly changed into his body, and quickly ran inside with his head down.
Just when she rushed to the city gate, the soldier who was in charge of reporting just now suddenly came back, Xiang Zixi deliberately raised his throat, lowered his head and said vaguely: "That female officer suddenly has something urgent to leave, ah, my stomach hurts a little, probably going to have diarrhea, you can take it for me for a while!" ”
"It's really lazy donkey to grind and pee a lot! Go, go! What a hassle! The soldier who went to report didn't even notice that his partner had been transferred, and walked outside shaking his head, muttering as he walked: "I'm busy today!" Most of the people have been transferred to the main city gate, and there are two people left here to guard, and they are not afraid of problems! Hmph, those people have snatched all the good errands, and the two of us are left to do the hard work here! ”
An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Zixi's mouth, and he walked quickly towards the interior of the palace.
At this time, a team of palace maids walked over quickly with their heads down and a golden plate, and Xiang Zi Xi took off the hat on his head, took off all the clothes on his body, and put them under a huge copper tripod. Hiding behind the bronze tripod, waiting for the arrival of the team of palace maids.
Not surprisingly, the team of palace maids really walked quickly in the direction of this side, everyone was in a hurry, holding a heavy preserved fruit in their hands, and it seemed that the weight was not light.
When everyone walked by in turn, and when the last one passed, a hand covered her mouth from behind her back, and before the poor palace maid could make a sound, she had already been pinched unconscious by Xiang Zixi!
Xiang Zixi didn't have the slightest bit of mud and water, almost instantly changed the palace maid's clothes, hid the poor palace maid next to the copper tripod, and quickly followed the team in front of him with the plate of preserved fruits.
Sure enough, Xiang Zixi did not guess wrong, these palace maids were really preparing for the wedding celebration.
Just followed the team of palace maids all the way, grandiosely, and openly came to the main venue of the wedding-Qiankun Palace.
Xiang Zixi took a deep breath, raised his head gently, and saw that the golden hall was already wrapped in red makeup at this time, with red carpets, red lanterns, and red colored silk, as festive as possible.
A touch of pain flashed in his eyes, and the hostess of this wedding should have been her own. Now, it has become everything that I want to destroy!
"Hey! Why are you still stunned? Why don't you put it down and get back to work? The leading palace maid pointed to Xiang Zixi and shouted loudly: "I want to be lazy at a young age!" It's not a good thing at first glance! ”
"Yes!" Xiang Zixi said vaguely, slowly put down the preserved fruit in his hand, searched around with his eyes, and chose the right time for the occasion.
Suddenly, Xiang Zixi's eyes suddenly fell on a huge stage in front of the main hall.
At this time, there were already several girls rehearsing dances on the stage, and it was obvious that these girls were not from the same team, but were all popular female actors who were temporarily drawn from many teams. Therefore, everyone needs a run-in and training.
Here's your chance!
Xiang Zixi dodged, instantly broke away from the team of palace maids, and suddenly appeared in the lounge at the back of the stage, quickly took off the palace maid costume on her body, threw it in the corner, and picked out a set of light green long skirts.
Just when Xiang Zixi had just finished changing her clothes, an elderly palace maid came over eagerly, and when she saw Xiang Zixi, she immediately said, "Why are you still here?" The above dance is about to be rehearsed! ”
"Huh? Be! Xiang Zixi replied casually: "This sister, when did this dance be prepared for the emperor and His Royal Highness!" This is my first time at the palace and I feel so nervous! ”
The old palace maid smiled slightly, and looked at the expression of the inferior person: "Okay, don't worry, someone will tell you when the time comes!" Your dance happens to be the last show. After you have danced, it is time for Your Highness to marry the princess! ”
The finale? Very good, I love it!
"Yes! Thank you sister for mentioning this! Please don't shirk this little meaning! Xiang Zixi took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, slowly stuffed it into the palace maid's hand, and said eagerly: "Sister, I have admired His Royal Highness for a long time, and I also like to sing a few words when I am in the opera troupe, so can I ask my sister to help and add a few more words?" I promise I won't mess with my sister! Sister, you also know that it is too difficult for us actors to become famous! And the unfamous drama can't fill the stomach no matter how much you make when you sing! Today, those of us are favored by the emperor and allowed to enter the palace to perform for the emperor and His Royal Highness, if we can get half of the emperor's golden words, it will be enough for us to eat for a lifetime! So, please ask my sister to help my sister with this! ”
The palace maid was just about to excuse her righteous words, and Xiang Zixi slid one of her jade bracelets from her wrist to the other party's wrist, and her attitude was as intimate as she wanted.
The palace maid was really moved, and said with a smile: "Okay, for the sake of you being so sensible, I will hand over the task of singing the song to you!" But don't let me down! ”
"Where did my sister say, where did my sister dare to make trouble for my sister!" Xiang Zixi's smile was even sweeter, and the corners of his eyes drifted past the main hall opposite not far away, but there was a tingling in his heart.
Jin Haoxuan, you probably didn't expect that I wasn't dead yet, right? You probably didn't expect us to meet again, did you? You probably didn't expect that we would meet in this format, right?
Jin Haoxuan, I'll give you a big surprise!
"Okay, I know everything, you go up and rehearse the dance!" The old palace maid proudly collected the things that Xiang Zixi paid to her one by one, anyway, such things are not uncommon. Anyway, it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to take a second look at those vulgar country women.
Xiang Zixi meekly went on the stage and greeted everyone else very warmly. Because those girls came from several teams, they all regarded Xiang Zixi as members of other teams, and immediately told Xiang Zixi all the dances they had just rehearsed.
Although Xiang Zixi has not studied dance professionally, the flexibility of her body is absolutely and absolutely comparable to that of a gymnast!
In addition, she has a strong understanding, so she quickly learned, and also put forward her own suggestions for improvement, adjusting the whole dance to be more mellow and full.
After all the rehearsals are over, it's time for the official stage.
Jin Haoxuan, Princess Ziqing, see you in a while!
