Chapter 264: The Princess

King Zhen's Mansion, in the back garden, on the shore of the barren grass by the lake, a woman in a red wedding dress is looking across the water.

In the afternoon, the scorching sun shines on the lake, the fish and shrimp swim happily in the water, and the lake is swept by the breeze, rippling with sparkling ripples.

A thin layer of mist envelops the island in the middle of the lake.

You can vaguely see people walking on the island.

It's just that there is a vast water wave, and there is no ferry nearby, so it is impossible to get close at all.

She took a small object from her sleeve and put it in the lake.

There was a ripple on the surface of the water, and the little thing looked like a living thing.

The woman in red sat under a clump of grass by the lake, staring at the surface of the lake with her cheeks propped up, and picked a small grass with many thin leaves from the ground.

Slowly pulling the leaves off one by one, muttering something in his mouth.

It didn't take long for three leaves left on the grass stem.

"It's a good omen." There was some joy in the voice.

The tender sap of the blades of grass soaked her fingers, and she threw the rest of the grass to the ground.

The sun was setting in the west, and when the orange light soaked the surface of the lake, the water rippled, and something stabbed and burst out of the water.

The woman reached out to pick it up, but it was a small silver fish, and the moment it jumped into her palm, the small fish faded from its vivid scales and luster, and turned into a real hard silver fish.

The woman shook the fish for a moment, "...... Didn't see the dragon...... But there are demons and ghosts......"

She looked at the island in the middle of the lake under the sunset, and sighed softly, "It seems that I really want to go to the island." ”

The woman got up, threw a piece of burning yellow paper into the lake, and watched it slowly burn.

Then cut through the grass and follow the path you came.

This woman is naturally Mu Zhixia who pretended to be a beauty and sneaked into King Zhen's mansion.

At the time of the lantern, she finally returned to the small courtyard where the beauty was housed.

When the maidservant girl who was in a hurry at the door saw her, she suddenly seemed to see a phoenix falling from the sky, and trotted all the way to meet her.

The servant girl's face was flushed, and her face was full of tears and sweat.

"Girl, where have you been? We've been looking for you all afternoon! You're worried about me! If you have something to do, how can I explain it to the princess......"

The woman in the wedding dress smiled apologetically and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm just a little homesick, so I sat alone in the garden." I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance, and I worried you. ”

She is so good-looking, and her voice is also good-looking, like a fairy in a painting, beautiful and soft. Such a delicate girl, alone, is naturally scared when she first arrives in this palace.

It's understandable that she wants to be alone for a while.

The complaint in the maid's heart quickly disappeared by four or five points, wiping the sweat and tears on her face, "Come in quickly, the princess is waiting for you." ”

The small courtyard was brightly lit.

Just outside the corridor where the orchids were placed, the princess was sitting and drinking tea, accompanied by several maids.

One of the maids said, "I'm back." ”

The princess put down the tea bowl and looked at it with a smile.

This princess Jane, who looks to be in her twenties, wears a brocade dress with a red gold-sprinkled pomegranate pattern and a ruby forehead. With a fair and beautiful face and a graceful and luxurious temperament, she is a daughter born in a noble family at first glance.

It's just that her face is haggard, her eyebrows are lightly sad, and if the pearl is covered with dust, only six or seven points are left in the ten points of beauty.
