Chapter 11: The Palace Wall

The second day back to the palace...

The time of pleasure was fleeting, and I was working my routine calligraphy and ink work under the supervision of the maiden.

So boring! I really want to go back to Huayin Palace!

I propped my head, looked up to the sky and yawned, and then the corner of my eyes slanted the peach heart that served the pen and ink next to me, and then secretly glanced at the lady who was sitting in the precarious position.

A sneer broke the silence, "Hehe, Lady... You see I'm almost done with my homework, why don't you let me go back early today? ”

"No," my notoriously stern Lady Shao glared, got up and walked around in front of me twice, "It's not school yet, if the princess is bored, then I can accompany the princess to write more big characters, how about it?" ”

Still write? I gasped, looked at the rice paper stained with ink on the table, smiled with a headache, and said unwillingly, "No need, girl, I... I'm kidding you! ”

Lady Shao is an old-fashioned person, and her meticulous attitude on weekdays leads to having to get out of school soon, so she checks my big characters properly.

"Your Royal Highness..."

Before Lady Shao could open her mouth to get out of school, Shen Xiao's voice came from the door of the study.

"Ah Xiao," I looked at Shen Xiao who was standing quietly outside the study in surprise, and then turned my head to look at Lady Shao with pleading eyes.

After checking the big characters, Lady Shao Xu couldn't find a flaw in my homework, so she had to nod and agree to go to school.

I ran to the door in high spirits and grabbed his arm.

"Let's go!"

"Good!" Shen Xiao's eyes were filled with a moving look, and there was a smile like sunshine on his beautiful face.

It's just that I, who have a narrow physique, always suddenly insert a bar at such a warm moment.

This is not...

For some reason, the Fifth Emperor Sister is coming here with a group of people.

The corners of my mouth twitched, and then I glanced at Tao Xin tacitly, and decided to pull Shen Xiao to another way.

It's not that I'm afraid of her, it's just that she can't figure it out like a piece of kraft candy, and if I take care of her usual noise, I might as well hide from it.

"Su Xue!"

I only walked a few steps when I was going to avoid it, but the Fifth Emperor Sister behind me sped up her pace and came behind me.

It's just this sound of Su Xue, which made me get goosebumps all over my body.

But even if I have the intention to avoid it, but you are coming head-on, how can I ignore it?

Just right... I also have to figure out the matter of the hunting ground.

So, I watched the Five Emperor Sisters who were full of gold and silver jewelry gradually approaching, and said, "Fifth Emperor Sister, why don't you recuperate in the princess's mansion today, and still want to enter the palace to see your father?" ”

"What? When will I enter the palace and report to you? ”

The Fifth Emperor Sister smiled arrogantly, but for a moment her eyes were attracted by Shen Xiao beside me, "Yo, it's rare!" Imperial sister, there is a male guard by her side? Or is it so stunning? ”

After that, the Fifth Emperor Sister was about to come to Shen Xiao's side, and I stubbornly blocked in front of her.

"Fifth Emperor Sister, this is my business, so don't worry about it, Imperial Sister."

Just kidding, how can the person who won Su Xue let you touch it casually?

The Fifth Emperor Sister was two points smarter, and she didn't say a word about me beating Cuicai, but she looked at Shen Xiao with a smile on her face.

"A few days ago, I heard that the royal sister personally admitted her love for Prince Linxi in the imperial garden, I thought that the royal sister met her sweetheart at the beginning of her love, but I didn't think that the original royal sister just fell in love with a beautiful face, and now there is a guard with the same posture around her, so naturally she is indifferent to the Prince Linxi of the next country, but the royal sister... Morning and evening, this is a loss of royal face... Huh..."

This clearly set out the words that provoked the incident, but it didn't make me angry, after all, I have seen too much of the struggle in the palace, and these difficult words are not harmful at all.

So, I deliberately grabbed Shen Xiao with a smile and said with great intimacy, "Sister Huang may not know, I have never been like to pretend like some people, and it is indeed just an expedient measure to say that Prince Linxi is his sweetheart, but even if I like beautiful men, what's wrong?" Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention..."

I leaned closer to the Fifth Emperor Sister, and said with a deliberate smile on my face, "What's more, beautiful men are also willing to stay by my side, unlike some people... If you can't eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour. ”

"You!" The Fifth Emperor Sister, who couldn't hold her face, finally showed her anger, "I can tell you, don't be so arrogant because of your father's favor, this palace is not easy to mess with." ”

Hum...

I sneered, and simply didn't pretend to be in harmony with her, and held my sleeves, and said, "That's a coincidence, so is this palace!" ”

"Win Suxue, don't be complacent, sooner or later, this palace will let you know the fate of going against this palace!"

"Okay, if the Fifth Emperor Sister has this ability... Then come on, I'm just wondering if the Fifth Emperor Sister can poison horses... What else..."

I quietly fixed my eyes on Ying Liuyun and the emerald faces behind her, but those two faces showed no flaws except anger.

"I don't know what to do!" The Fifth Emperor Sister glared at me fiercely, then flicked her sleeves and said, "Cuicai, let's go!" ”

With that, the hem of her skirt brushed the corner of my dress, just behind me.

I yelled at Cui Cai and the people behind her, "Bold minion, I just wanted to say, why didn't you kneel when you saw this palace?" ”

"Princess, spare your life!"

The minions behind Cuicai were so frightened that they all fell to the ground, but this stubborn Cuicai still stared at me without squinting.

"What? Hongu is talking to you, are you deaf? ”

It's not that I care about etiquette, it's just that this girl named Cuicai has given me the feeling that she is not good from the beginning, like a wild wolf, her eyes often have an indescribable complexity, which others don't have, like a lot of unwillingness, greed and anger together and slow to break out, and I know that this kind of scheming is very deep, once you find an opportunity, you must be a ruthless character, at least... She is much smarter than the current Fifth Emperor Sister, if she doesn't know what the rules are at this time, I'm afraid that the pig's head of Ying Liuyun will be miserable to her sooner or later.

"I asked her not to kneel, and I will represent me in the future, what?" The Fifth Emperor Sister, who originally had an angry look on her face, circled back in front of me again, with an uncontrollable expression, "Do you have to kneel down to this palace now?" ”

I chuckled and muttered, "Idiot." ”

Can't you even see that I'm good for you?

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, Fifth Emperor Sister. If I'm not mistaken, my people saluted you. And since you say that Cui Cai represents you, you don't have to bow down to me..."

I turned around and smiled at Shen Xiao and Taoxin, "Ah Xiao, Taoxin, in the future, you will also represent the palace, and you don't have to salute when you see the fifth princess!" Understandable? ”

"Ying Suxue, you deceive people too much, you..."

"Go back to the palace!"

After that, I no longer paid attention to the Fifth Emperor Sister with her teeth and claws, but went straight past her and walked in the direction of returning to the palace, leaving her still in place with a look of madness.

"Princess, you offended the fifth princess today, I'm afraid Concubine Li won't give up."

Taoxin is right, Concubine Li is the biological mother of the Fifth Emperor Sister, and with such a daughter as her, she may not let me go easily, but who am I, how can I be afraid of her as a harem concubine? Don't forget that I also have a backstage, and more than one.

"Hehe, it's just a beating!"

After saying that, Taoxin immediately shouted in shock, "Princess, as a daughter, how can you say that if you let people beat you!" ”

And Shen Xiao looked confused from beginning to end, stunned in place.

I waved my hand indifferently and smiled, "You're too humorous, aren't you?" I'm kidding, what if she's as good as she is? I have the protection of my father... Plus the royal grandmother... Don't forget, the Imperial Grandmother wouldn't allow this to happen! What else can she do with a concubine? ”

"Princess..."

Momoshin sighed and finally stopped talking.

I naturally understood that she was worried about me, so I deliberately grabbed Shen Xiao's arm and said, "Ah Xiao, I'm hungry!" ”

Shen Xiao smiled between his eyebrows and eyes, and said softly, "What does the princess want to eat?" ”

"Eat... You! ”

After I said this, I felt my heart beating, but Shen Xiao was slightly stunned, nodded as usual for a moment, and said, "Okay!" ”

And this slightly ambiguous scene made my heart bitter, I saw her blushing face, and she pulled me away from Shen Xiao with shame and annoyance, "Male... Attention, Princess... Courtyard... Wide... Under the public. ”

Is it?

I looked at the cute appearance of the peach heart with satisfaction, and I stuck to Shen Xiao again with perseverance.

"Princess, go back to the palace quickly!"

Seeing that I didn't pay attention to her, Taoxin accelerated her pace and walked away, but the blushing face was still clearly visible through the twilight.

"Hehe... Silly girl. I smiled slightly and let go of Shen Xiao's arm.

"Princess, you are such a good person."

Am I a good person?

I looked up and saw the afterglow of the setting sun falling on Shen Xiao's perfect face, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

"I don't think so!"

My fingertips traced the bright flowers in the twilight and tranquility of this season, and through the cool air, my fingers were full of the fragrance of flowers.

"Isn't it? I'm good, the fifth princess is good, and the peach heart is good, the princess is just expressing kindness in different ways. ”

My fingers froze, then I turned back and laughed, "You say I mean something, then you can tell me what kind intentions are." ”

Shen Xiao's gaze was heavy, and when he looked at me, he seemed to be looking at something else through my eyes.

"Princess, you and I are just sympathetic, right? Although you don't say it, it was obvious to me from the first time we met that you were taking care of me at all times. There are also five princesses, although I don't know the past between you, but from the eyes of the palace people you looked at just now, you can see that you are defending the five princesses, and it goes without saying that the peach heart is naturally needless to say, the princess is afraid that she just doesn't want her to worry so deliberately ashamed of her. ”

"Ah Xiao, you... It's surprisingly smart, but—" I smiled wickedly, and my arm climbed up his neck, much taller than mine, with great difficulty, "the least worthless and most dangerous thing in this palace wall is to be smart... Also, one thing you said wrong, I'm right about you... I'm really interested..."
