Princess's House.

In front of a screen painted with clouds and cranes and pine waves, sat a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman. That person is like a hibiscus out of the water, his skin is better than snow, and his eyes are full of affection. She holds an embroidery needle in her hand and skillfully shuttles, sewing the last eye of the doll in her hand. In front of her, there was a basket of cotton as white as snow, brocade of various colors, and needles and threads, and several half-made arms, legs and feet, scattered and mixed in them.

The woman leaned slightly on the soft brocade pillow behind her, grasping the doll with one hand, admiring it from afar.

Embroider the waning moon again, and you will be mine.

The woman hooked her lips with satisfaction, cut the cotton thread, picked a silver and white thread, changed a needle, and dropped it on the back of the doll's head.

On the opposite side, the shoji painted with cold plum and falling snow opened from the outside, and a maid dressed in ordinary clothes knelt by the door, bowed her head, and said, "Princess, there is a guest asking to see." ”

"The old rule, accept the gift, and the person will send it away." Princess Mingyue didn't raise her eyelids and buried the thread carefully.

"They say it's your countryman." The maid's scalp was numb, her trembling body was lowered, and her head was on the ground.

Although this princess has never blamed anyone, she has a strange temper, and many times, it is often such a person that makes it even more terrifying.

Hearing this, the princess paused, her eyes flashed, but her face turned cold, and she asked, "Who is it?" ”

The maid stepped forward and handed a copy of the prayer to a personal maid named Goose Yellow.

Goose Huang opened it and glanced at it quickly, silently wrote down the names of the two people, and respectfully handed them to the princess.

The princess didn't answer, but just glanced at it lightly, snorted coldly for some reason, lowered her head and continued to embroider the moon.

This kind of idea of embroidery on a round head is something that only this princess can come up with. Goose Huang lowered his head and bowed his head, his arm gradually sore.

The air seemed to freeze, and no one in this room dared to speak, except for the princess, not even the atmosphere.

Did the princess notice something? Thinking like this, Goose Huang unconsciously broke out in a thin cold sweat on his forehead.

I don't know how long it took, when Goose Huang felt that her arm was about to be broken, the princess finished the last stitch, and finally slowly spoke: "Let them in." ”

The maid kneeling on the ground left in response, her feet flying fast, as if she was followed by a terrible ghost asking for her life.

Zaohong on the other side stepped forward to help the princess, glanced back at the goose yellow, and followed the princess to change clothes.

Goose Huang swallowed his saliva, wiped his sweat indiscriminately, and sighed in his heart: This Princess Mingyue is terrible. Her gaze shifted to the finished beautiful doll that had been placed on the table, and a chill ran down her spine. She didn't dare to look at it, she always felt that the two red onyx eyes of the puppet were staring at her.

Chihiro finally meets Princess Mingyue again.

Rumo's long hair was curled in long braids at the back of his head, and above his ears were two emerald green jade carved lotus flowers. She wore a peony dark pattern cherry two-piece short coat, and a lead-white pleated long skirt with gold thread trimming, swaying as she walked.

As soon as she saw this person, Chihiro's chest pounded, and when she met the other person's gaze, she lowered her head in shame and grabbed the gift in her hand.

This "common woman's disease" has flare up again.

"I've seen the princess." Hachi knelt on the floor and said respectfully.

Chihiro has done the same, and now she plays a mute who can't speak.

"The sister has lost her voice since she was a child, and she also asks the princess to forgive her sins." As he spoke, he lowered his body again.

Hearing this, Princess Mingyue glanced at Chihiro with interest, and saw that this person was ordinary, featureless, less than one-tenth of her brother's, and suddenly felt bored, lowering her eyes as if she was asleep.

Princess Mingyue doesn't remember Chihiro on the day of the parade.

The goose yellow on the side, seeing the princess's appearance, knew that the two people below were not treated by the princess, and turned to stare at the lines of the wooden floor under his knees.

No one can guess the princess's thoughts.

Princess Mingyue's beauty has attracted too many princes and nobles, and they have spared no expense to collect all kinds of rare treasures to offer, just to see the princess's heavenly appearance. There was an endless stream of such people, and it didn't take long for the princess to get tired of it, and then every time she only accepted gifts, they were all driven away.

The princess, who has not seen visitors for a long time, summoned these two hometown people today, and she thought that the princess cared about her hometown, but now it doesn't look like this.

She has already been with two princesses, and it is the first time she has seen Princess Mingyue with this kind of temperament.

Chihiro and the two of them remained on their knees, motionless.

Such a posture is not affected, but Chihiro, who is flesh and blood, gradually can't stand it.

The floor was too hard, and she carefully moved the angle between her calf bones and the ground, and sadly found that it hurt from any angle, and her body gradually trembled in pain.

"Get up." The princess seemed to wake up from her sleep, and finally spoke.

Chihiro breathed a sigh of relief, slowly moved her body, and slowly stood up.

Hachi took the gift from Chihiro's hand, held it and said, "A little gift, I hope the princess will accept it with a smile." ”

Goose Huang stepped forward to take the gift box, opened the lid, and the inside was divided into a grid, containing the format of snacks.

Princess Mingyue pinched one with her slender jade hand, looked at it for a while, put it back, and wiped her hands with the handkerchief handed by the maid.

"I have a heart." The princess is not salty or light.

Dim sum is a common specialty in my hometown, and the wooden dim sum box is nothing special.

It's really like two fellows she should know!

"But I don't like sweets, haven't you inquired clearly?"

The princess's words were obviously questioning, but in fact, they directly exposed Hachi's lies.

"Please forgive the princess." Xiaoba clearly admits that he is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Humph!" The princess snorted coldly and gave the order to evict the guest, "I have received the heart, you can go." ”

Chihiro was shocked, and before she had spoken for two rounds, was she about to leave?

In her opinion, this is just a couple of greetings, and she hasn't even started to brush her good feelings! She felt as if there were two big "Game Overs" flashing over her head.

At this time, Xiao Ba said calmly: "Princess, our brother and sister have first come here, and the sister has a lively temperament, and I can't accompany me often, so I always feel lonely." If the princess wants to chat, you can send someone to Yuelai Xiaozhu, and we are waiting for you at any time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zaohong on the side immediately reprimanded: "What a bold man! Come on, take these two fanatics down for me! ”

The guards outside the door heard the sound and immediately rushed in and surrounded Hachi and Chihiro.

For a while, the atmosphere was tense.

What's going on? Chihiro was confused and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Princess Mingyue had a cold face, glanced at Zaohong lightly, and said, "Let them go." ”

"But princess, these two men are so rude, they must be severely punished." Zaohong is unwilling, and she does this for your sake.

"Are you blaming me?" Hearing this, the princess squinted at Zao Hong, and her tone was rarely harsh.

Zao Hong knelt down in fear, and her voice was full of unwillingness: "The princess forgives her sins." ”

"Stand down, see off." Princess Mingyue stood up from the carved wooden chair, stopped looking at the crowd, and went out from the other side of the room.

The guard who took the lead looked at the big maid in front of him, who was dressed in a goose yellow shortcoat, and the latter winked at him. He immediately understood, and with an order, the guards put away their knives and rushed out.

Back at the inn, Chihiro didn't figure out what was going on until the night when he asked Zhou Gong.
