Chapter 4: The Princess

Because of the humid climate and the scarcity of wood, the houses and buildings in the country of Feng Ming are made of huge stones, including the palace of the country of Feng Ming.

The imperial palace, which is made up of a large number of stones, may seem a little shabby to foreigners, but this set of buildings is the most gorgeous and magnificent in the country of Feng Ying. The palace built by the sharp and angular lines of cold and hard stone is tall and magnificent, and all the palace buildings are crawling outside without exception with emerald green vines and plants, these plants are unique to Xiangying, the long vines are stout, and the leaves are thick, like a natural wall, all the palaces are dyed with a cool turquoise, which looks extremely dazzling under the cloudy sky.

Some of the vines outside the palace also have small flowers of different colors blooming, bringing a touch of life to the majestic palace.

The palace is full of turquoise plants, there are very few fresh flowers in the Phoenix Underworld, but there are countless green leafy plants, and they grow luxuriantly, vigorously, one after another, from a distance, it looks like one huge monster after another.

Beneath these "monsters" are paths paved with fine gravel. Because of the climate, the gravel road is wet all year round, and the wet soil on both sides of the gravel road is fertile, which is convenient for the growth of monster-like large plants, so from time to time, there will be a soft-bodied animal with the thickness of a wrist or the size of a baby's fist crawling out of the soil in the grass and appearing on the gravel road, wandering comfortably.

This kind of animal appears with a high frequency, and then it will cause waves of panicked screams, which generally come from the three princesses of the Phoenix Netherworld:

"Ahh Ahhh ”

Si Xueying, the third princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom, has been living in the palace of the Feng Ming Kingdom for fifteen years, but every time she goes out and sees the insect snake gecko, she still jumps up and screams for half an hour.

At this time, the second princess Si Xuerou, who was walking beside her, pursed her cherry-like lips, smiled, held Si Xueying's upturned hand, and comforted softly:

"Third sister, okay, the snake has crawled away."

Si Xueying finally stopped screaming, glanced at the empty stone road under her feet, and finally took a breath, she covered her chest, and said in an angry tone:

"I've had enough! I'm fed up with this place full of bugs and snakes! ”

Si Xuerou had already guessed what she would say next, she had been saying such things these days, these words were too out of line, Si Xuerou straightened her face, and wanted to stop:

"Third sister!"

"Why can she go to Longxi Country to live a good life in the morning, but a few of us have to suffer in this place full of insects and snakes? We are the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom, what is she? Second sister, you say, what is she? And what is she? Just because her father said she was a princess? Just because they all say that Celestia knows divination? Bah! I don't believe it! I've been in this palace for fifteen years, and I only learned two years ago that there is a princess named Chenguang in our palace! Second sister, they all said that Princess Chenguang is the daughter of the pure concubine, you are the biological daughter of the pure concubine, you say, is she really the daughter of the pure concubine? ”

"Third sister!" Si Xuerou frowned, not knowing what to say for a while.

Princess Chenguang, twenty-eight years old, is said to be the eldest princess of the Fengying Kingdom, but Si Xuerou doesn't know her.

Si Xuerou always thought that she was the eldest princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom until two years ago.

Two years ago, her eldest sister suddenly came back from Shengzi Mountain, and she was still confused, so she changed from the eldest princess to the second princess, and began to call a completely strange, weak girl who seemed to be about to die at any time as her "eldest sister".

Then in just two years, Si Xuerou felt incomprehensible and shocked, and the name of Princess Chenguang resounded throughout the Feng Ming Kingdom, just because of Princess Chenguang's divination skills that could not be explained by common sense.

The divination ability of the Si family has long become a legend, and the male of the royal family who once had the strongest divination ability completely lost the spiritual power needed for divination soon after the founding of the Fengying Kingdom, and only a few women in the royal family still retain the divination power.

Having such power does not mean that you will be able to divination, there are goddesses in the Fengying Kingdom, and each generation of goddesses is from the royal family of the Fengying Kingdom, and it is the goddesses of the previous generation who have the strongest spiritual power through divination, divination out the strongest spiritual women, and then enter the Holy Son Mountain, take over the priesthood, and serve the god of fire for life in the Holy Son Mountain, just like the previous goddess, their cousin, Si Tong, the lord of Shou'an County.

Shengzi Mountain is the sacred land of Fengyingguo, and it is also a forbidden place, even the people of the royal family can't set foot without permission, but Chenguang has been following Si Tong since he was a child and has been living in Shengzi Mountain.

Why did Chenguang live in Shengzi Mountain, Si Xuerou once asked her mother Concubine Chun, but Concubine Chun couldn't resist her questioning, so she had to answer in an impatient tone, saying that it was because Chenguang was weak when he was born, and when he was about to die, he was just in time for Si Tong to return to the palace, saying that the child was destined for him, so he took Chenguang to Shengzi Mountain, and lived for 14 years.

Si Xuerou couldn't tell if it was true or not, because when her mother answered her, her tone was really true, but her eyes were stiff.

"Second sister, don't blame my sister for speaking upright, her origin is unknown in the morning, and my father said that she was the eldest sister, so I called her 'eldest sister'. My father is obedient to her, and even I can't stand it, in my heart, you are the eldest sister! Long Xiguo wants the princess of Fengming Kingdom to go to Heqin, then the candidate for Heqin should be you, and the person who goes to Longxi Country to live a good life should be you, how can she be so virtuous in Chenguang, why did she take such a good opportunity? Second sister, she robbed you of your good deeds! Si Xueying said indignantly in a sharp voice.

Si Xuerou glanced at her, the corners of her lips were gently hooked, and she didn't speak.

Since the founding of the Fengying Kingdom, because of the country's humble status and notoriety, there has never been such a thing as a princess marrying outside.

Feng Ming Kingdom has been closed off for many years, if it was before the underground mine of Chenghuai Hill was discovered, he and his relatives would not have such a big reaction, but since the underground mine of Chenghuai Hill was discovered, with the influx of a large number of merchants of Yanyun Country, the envoys of Yanyun Kingdom came to the palace of Feng Ming Kingdom, and the world outside the desert began to spread out in their eyes and minds like the most beautiful picture in the world.

Those dazzling jewelry, those alluring silk satins, those delicacies that have never tasted, those scenery that they have never heard of, every piece of information that seems to foreigners to be the tiniest and most ordinary is like a thorn in them, telling them how shabby and barren their phoenix underworld is compared with the outside world, and these princesses who are high up above are poorer than the most rustic soil buns in the poor countryside compared with the princesses outside.

Low self-esteem and longing for the outside world are most evident in Si Xueying, who has hated Feng Yingguo since she was a child.

If Si Xueying used to be disgusted with Chenguang, then since the news of her relatives spread, she has not been disgusted with Chenguang, but hated it.

Si Xuerou heard that Si Xueying had gone to Chenguang, and she knew that the candidate for harmony would definitely not be her turn, so she went to Chenguang and wanted to persuade Chenguang to take her with her when she was married, as a concubine Teng.

She went several times, but each time she was dismissed on the grounds that "Her Royal Highness the Princess is sleeping".

Since then, Si Xueying has hated Chenguang to death.

Si Xueying saw that she had said so much, but Si Xuerou just didn't answer, and because of her own lack of qi and blood, her eyes began to glow, and she became more and more irritable.

Following behind Si Xueying, the fourth princess Si Xueyan, who had never dared to interject, saw that she was about to be angry, shook her shoulders uneasily, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Sandbell...... ......At the same time, the melodious sound of golden bells came, like an invisible net in the lush vegetation garden, which came from nowhere, but seemed to be firmly covered.

Si Xueyan, who was already nervous, stiffened after hearing the bell, stared at her fawn-like eyes, turned her neck, and when she saw the dazzling snow-white that appeared at the intersection, her heart began to pound.
