Deep Palace Compound.

The snow has been falling for three whole days, covering the vast desert, and a few little girls in the courtyard are chattering and discussing how to clear the snow, but a somewhat lazy voice comes from the main room and says, "Don't sweep it, it's good like this." The little girls were ordered, and happily threw down their brooms and went away.

In the richly decorated room, a thin woman lay lazily on the couch, looking out the window at the goose feathers and snow. In the charcoal basin of the house, a blazing fire was burning. She looked serene, but her brow was furrowed.

The maid gently pushed open the door from outside the house and walked in, and after making a gesture, she whispered: "Sister Yu, the second prince is coming over today, so you should prepare earlier." The woman lazily returned: "Got it." The maid withdrew. The woman silently got up and stepped off the bed.

This is the palace of the second prince, more than a year ago, Yu Yao was coaxed into the carriage by the red-eyed thief's subordinate Ghost San'er, I thought I was going to the house of Boss Mo in the rouge shop, but I didn't think about it, but I was first pulled to a lonely small courtyard outside the city, and there was only a low hut in the courtyard, and the door was locked. On the first night there, she shouted desperately, but no one answered, and she could not break through the dilapidated wooden door. She desperately called out to Lin Xiangdi in the middle of the night, until her voice was hoarse, crying until she lost her strength, and she didn't hear the slightest footsteps outside. The next day, she saw a man with a distinct birthmark on his face, who just gave her a cold look and ordered someone to take him away with a gagged mouth. Until the fifth day, she was sent to the courtyard of this deep palace and became the concubine of the second prince of Wuciguo.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang was a passerby from then on.

This is the phrase that comes to her mind the most every day when she first arrives. At the beginning of the period, she washed her face with tears every day, thinking about a way to escape all the time, but there were always people around her who held her down, and the next thing she got was a beating and scolding, and even she thought of suicide, but she didn't have the courage, because she didn't know if she could return to modern times if she died here, and more importantly, she hadn't found Lin Xiangdi yet.

Lao Lin, where are you?

In the three months since he arrived at the palace, he has not seen the second prince. She was secretly glad that she would have more chances to find a way to escape. One day, she overheard the conversation of several servants, and one said, "Do you know what the second prince is doing in the capital this time?" ”

Several people chimed in, saying, "I don't know, didn't you say that the king was seriously ill?" ”

The man said, "What! The second prince took advantage of this excuse to go to the capital to force the king to abdicate! ”

Others said, "Yo! Don't talk nonsense! This is a big taboo! ”

The man continued disdainfully: "With the brain of our second prince, even if he becomes a king, he will lose the country." I don't believe he can govern the country well. Now that the country of Qiuci is frequently attacking us, it is estimated that the place to the west will become the territory of the country of Qiuzi in a short time. Let's ask for more blessings! ”

When Yu Yao heard these words, she knew the reason why she hadn't seen the second prince for so long. However, I have heard that the second prince's IQ is not online, he will only be greedy for pleasure, and he doesn't know anything about governing the country.

Yu Yao sighed deeply, the palace fighting dramas and power plots that I have watched for many years all come to mind, to catch the traitor, to catch the thief, to capture the king first! It seems that this matter needs to be planned carefully.

She slowly changed her attitude, began to stop running away, no longer resisting, and began to accept training like many women who were sent to the palace, learning the Dunhuang dance that the second prince likes, and learning the music cards that the second prince likes, and gradually she became a leader among seven or eight women. The old palace maid who taught her was polite to her, and said with a smile: "Miss Yu, you will definitely become the future princess." Yu Yao responded to the old palace maid with a polite smile.

This old palace maid is the second prince's former wet nurse, watching the second prince grow up, familiar with the second prince's likes and dislikes, and when the second prince became an adult, he became a palace maid who helped him train the new concubines. The old palace maid likes the smart and clever Yu Yao, and because of the red-eyed thief, she gave her a lot of benefits, hoping that she can be carefully trained and become a favorite concubine as soon as possible, so as to please the second prince, and apologize for the original incident. The old palace maid also thought that if one day, the woman she personally trained could become a princess, and she would die a good death in the lonely deep palace in the future.

The second prince's strategy failed because the old king was cured by a few doses of immortal medicine from the Persians who came to pay tribute, and his complexion was ruddy and his walk was like flying. The second prince returned from the capital with a mighty procession, with a face full of tiredness and anger. As soon as he entered the palace, he scolded and scolded the palace people. The palace people are like facing a great enemy, trembling and waiting for them.

The red-eyed thief stood up from among the many pro-soldiers, and after saluting the second prince, he said respectfully: "Prince, the journey is tiring and the journey is sleepy, the little one has prepared a beautiful gift for the prince, please accept it with a smile." ”

As soon as the second prince heard the red-eyed thief's secret words, he immediately understood the reason, and despite the fatigue of the journey, he got up and hurriedly wanted to see how exquisite this "gift" was. As soon as everyone saw the second prince, they immediately retired. With snickering, they looked at each other.

The old palace maid got the news of the red-eyed thief early, and knew that the second prince was going to return to the palace today, so she prepared on the other side early. She instructed Yu Yao and many other women who were sent to the palace to change into new silk clothes, and specially prepared a rather luxurious step for Yu Yao and inserted it in her hair. whispered to Yu Yao: "Behave well today, the day you come out is just around the corner." Yu Yao's heart was full of sadness, she had only seen the fight of women in the palace fighting drama, but she didn't expect that when she fell on her head, she had the mood of waiting for the white radish to be selected by the buyer, but only in this way could she find Lin Xiangdi through the second prince and find the opportunity to escape.

Yu Yao stood in the middle of the courtyard with everyone and saw a group of people walking in from outside. The leader was a man with a luxurious face and extraordinary instruments, he wore a jade brocade robe, walked into the courtyard neatly, and looked at the beautiful women standing in the courtyard with high spirits. Yu Yao thought to herself, this must be the second prince Wu Lahe, who looks a little handsome.

Yu Yao stood upright in the middle of the team, wearing a white satin dress, looking different and with a temperament like an orchid. The second prince saw this woman at a glance, he took a step back, looked at it carefully, and described his appearance as ordinary, but his slim temperament was different, and there were thousands of styles flowing between his eyebrows and eyes.

The second prince shouted: "Red-eyed thief! ”

The red-eyed thief hurriedly pushed everyone away, stood behind the second prince respectfully, and lowered his head. He thought to himself: Is the second prince not satisfied? should be satisfied, no matter how you look at this woman, she is the leader. Could it be that this time you are going to mess up the errand again?

The second prince didn't look back, but said lightly: "Red-eyed thief, which is your gift?" Show me. ”

The red-eyed thief quietly stretched out a hand from behind the second prince, and pointed his index finger at Yu Yao, who was standing in the middle. The second prince followed the finger of the red-eyed thief, looked at Yu Yao again, then nodded with satisfaction, and said to the red-eyed thief, "I am very satisfied with the gift." Let's go down! ”

Some of the people who offered the beauties into the palace at the same time were dejected, some were envious, and some stared coldly at the red-eyed thief, but the red-eyed thief, his eyebrows flew and danced, and he walked out of the courtyard triumphantly, and walked out of a disagreement that the six relatives did not recognize.

The old palace maid also took the women who were not favored out of the back door out of the small courtyard, the small courtyard at this moment was quiet and safe, and only the second prince and Yu Yao stood alone in the courtyard.

Yu Yao tried hard to hide the sadness in his eyes, and looked at the second prince in front of him in a daze, he didn't seem to be as stubborn as everyone said, a noble son's skin, thrown into modern society, he was a domineering president with long legs. The second prince looked at Yu Yao for a long time before he said softly, "Come with me." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the main room. Yu Yao took one last look at the blue sky above the small courtyard, and with heavy steps, followed the second prince into the main house that had been lit by several candles, as if walking into a bottomless abyss. Yu Yao thought silently in her heart: I'm sorry, Xiang Di.

The second prince leaned on the couch tiredly and lifted one foot, Yu Yao didn't understand what he meant at first, but suddenly understood, is this asking me to take off my shoes? So, she slowly walked to the bedside, took off the second prince's right boot, and gently lifted his left foot, and took off the other boot. The second prince asked in a soft voice, "What's your name?" ”

Yu Yao said lightly: "Yu Yao." As soon as she said that, she realized that she had forgotten the answering etiquette that the old palace maid had taught her.

When the second prince saw a beautiful woman, he didn't care about those etiquettes. He smiled and said, "Which two words, write them down." As he spoke, he unfolded his palm and motioned for Yu Yao to write in his palm. Yu Yao's white fingers gently wrote his name in the palm of the second prince's hand. After writing, he immediately stepped back, stood beside the collapse, and stopped making a sound.

As if he could really see the words in the palm of his hand, the second prince looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Yu-Yao." He closed his fingers, the smile on his face was even better, and he looked up at Yu Yao who was standing aside and said, "From now on, I will hold you in the palm of my hand." ”

That night, nothing actually happened, but the second prince asked Yu Yao to sing a song. As soon as Yu Yao opened her mouth and sang two tunes that the old palace maid taught her to sing, the second prince waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't listen to this, I'm tired of listening to it." Change one. Yu Yao changed another tune, and the second prince waved his hand again and refused. She said a little impatiently, "So what do you want to hear?" ”
