With the promise of the eldest princess, the queen mother can be regarded as satisfied.

Hmph, as long as she can see her great-grandson after this flower-viewing feast, then everything is easy to say.

But even so, the Queen Mother was still a little dissatisfied when she saw that the eldest princess was still in the palace.

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go home and get ready for the flower viewing feast? ”

was suddenly reprimanded like this, and the eldest princess was not annoyed, and respectfully responded.

"What the queen mother said is, then I will go back and prepare for the flower viewing feast."

finally said goodbye to the queen mother, and the eldest princess hurriedly went to the imperial garden.

And Ah Cha was waiting for her early in the Imperial Garden.

"I said, Comrade Eldest Princess, why do you have to choose to join me in the Imperial Garden?"

This is a problem that has been held in Ah Cha for a while.

The Imperial Garden is basically the center of the palace, and it is so conspicuous that they will almost be spotted if they appear there.

Not to mention secretly going from the Imperial Garden to the Ronghua Palace, that would completely expose them.

When the time comes, the Dog Emperor will know the news, and he will be suspicious of them no matter what.

After all, in the palace, it is abnormal enough to inexplicably go to a concubine who has fallen out of favor and is under house arrest.

And one of the people who did this was a goddess, and the other was the eldest princess.

"Comrade Acha, you don't understand." The eldest princess blinked, smiling mysteriously, "There must be a lot of trouble in this imperial garden." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to a place first."

Ah Cha's current doubts are no longer simply expressed in words.

Aren't they all already in the Imperial Garden?

Where else do I need to go now?

Of course, the eldest princess saw her doubts, but she didn't choose to answer them for her now.

"Well, that's where I told you."

Ah Cha was taken all the way by the eldest princess to a small rockery.

Ah Cha didn't understand it even more.

Isn't it just a rockery?

What's so nice about that?

And this has nothing to do with the palace they are going to?

Seeing her appearance, the eldest princess took the initiative to remind: "You take a closer look at it." ”

Listening to the eldest princess's words, Ah Cha raised her head a little wider.

At a glance, I saw that there was a pavilion standing on the top of the rockery.

Ah Cha looked left and right for a long time before he tentatively guessed and asked.

"Are you saying we're going to this pavilion?"

"Yes and no." The eldest princess shook her head and whispered into her ear, "What do you think would happen if we made people think we were in this pavilion?" ”

What will happen?

As long as there is a trustworthy person to guard them at all times, they can pretend to be in this pavilion.

And they themselves can go anywhere without being discovered.

"So you're trying to arrange for people to guard this place."

After getting the eldest princess's exact look, Ah Cha asked another question.

"But the Imperial Garden is so big, even if we don't have this pavilion, it's hard to get to the next place."

The eldest princess snapped her fingers and showed a smug look, "The mountain people have their own tricks, and you can follow me." ”

However, before going up to the pavilion, the preparations still need to be done.

The eldest princess majestically glanced at the entourage that followed, and gave the order.

"Come on, guard this place for the palace."

"This palace is going to take a break in the pavilion with the goddess."

"If anyone dares to disturb the tranquility of this palace and the goddess, then this palace will definitely not let you go!"

The eldest princess mastered the momentum of the superior very well, and immediately frightened these servants present.

"Yes."

Ah Cha stood quietly beside him, not expressing his opinion.

She still has great faith in the eldest princess's manpower.

No matter what the eldest princess says, she is also the daughter of the queen mother, the emperor's sister, and she can be regarded as having some power in the palace, and these servants must also be reliable people.

After the order, the eldest princess quietly winked at Ah Cha, and Ah Cha followed her up from the path next to the rockery to the pavilion with difficulty.

Why is it difficult?

Because the rockery doesn't look big, but the road to the top is a bit steep.

Ah Cha is not familiar with this place, and he hasn't climbed the mountain for a long time, so he is a little embarrassed, and he almost slipped several times.

But not to mention, the view from this pavilion is very wide, and you can basically see most of the imperial city clearly.

"This is a rockery specially built by the founding emperor, in order to give the emperor a chance to observe the imperial city and escape when he is in trouble."

"Don't underestimate this pavilion, in fact, the inside is not ordinary and terrifying."

The eldest princess's words aroused Ah Cha's interest.

"Horrible? This pavilion doesn't seem to be anything special except for the fact that you can see most of the imperial city. ”

Of course, that's just how she's feeling at the moment.

However, she was indeed shocked by the terrifying statement of the eldest princess.

"And I understand that this pavilion can observe the imperial city, but where does the opportunity to escape come from?"

The eldest princess smiled at her and casually turned an inconspicuous blue and white porcelain ornament on the side.

"That's why I chose to bring you here."

As her words fell, a dull sound came from the ground.

"Boom—"

On the ground in the middle of the pavilion, a huge entrance appeared.

Beneath the entrance are deep steps.

Ah Cha's eyes widened rarely, a little incredulous, "This is ......"

The eldest princess took her words and walked in first, "You can find out what this is when I walk in." ”

Ah Cha was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, "Oh...... Good. ”

The steps were far more numerous and longer than she had imagined, and it was good that there were lamps on both sides so that she would not be able to walk through the steps in the dark.

"At the beginning, it is very narrow, and only then can it be understood."

The road was too narrow for her to walk side by side with the eldest princess.

However, from the eldest princess's very skillful movements, Ah Cha still put her heart back in her stomach.

Presumably, with the eldest princess leading the way, nothing will go wrong.

"Walk dozens of steps, and suddenly you will be enlightened."

Ah Cha felt that these two sentences could not have been better to describe their current situation.

Because they hadn't been walking long before there was a light ahead.

"Comrade Acha, we've arrived."

Arrived?

And here it is?

At this moment, Ah Cha felt that he seemed to be able to understand the state of mind of the Wuling man.

The mystery lasted too short, how could it be reached.

But following the eldest princess out of the exit, she really saw another world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a peach blossom paradise.

Even in autumn, there are still flowers hanging from the treetops, birds chirping everywhere, and the wind blowing through the crisp sound of wind chimes.

"Is this the palace you're going to bring me to?"

The eldest princess looked at her and said very seriously, "Yes. ”

"I learned about the secret passage by accident, and I accidentally broke into this."

"But I want to tell you in advance that the emperor's feelings for this Rong Hua are very unusual."

Ah Cha looked at the surroundings and replied, "I guessed a few points." ”

If the emperor didn't really care about a person, it would be impossible to put a tribute girl sent by the Southern Barbarians under house arrest in this place like a paradise.

And this is house arrest, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a vacation.

Not to mention that this palace is also connected to the ancestral escape secret passage of the Dog Emperor.

Even if Tuoba Jun's mother has the blood of the Blue Moon clan and is the daughter of the Blue Moon clan, she was brutally humiliated to death by the emperor after all.

It's just that a small tribute girl can make the emperor treat him like this.

hasn't seen this Rong Hua yet, and Ah Cha is already full of curiosity about her in her heart.

Soon, however, her curiosity was answered.

"Ah Cha, I forgot to tell you a little."

"That imperial brother of mine has always been hard and not soft, and he seems to have a side purpose for this Ronghua in addition to being greedy for beauty."

The purpose?

Ah Cha thought about it for a while and came up with a conjecture.

I'm afraid that the purpose of the Dog Emperor here also has something to do with making him immortal.

Based on what she knows about the Dog Emperor these days, she thinks that the most attractive thing to the Dog Emperor is this immortality.

In addition, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Dog Emperor to do this to a tribute girl.

But before Ah Cha could think about it, a cold female voice came.

"Since there are guests here, then don't hide from the main palace."

Hongu?

Ah Cha sensitively grasped this self-profess.

And the eldest princess quietly gave her a look, and walked forward first.

"Jin Ronghua, it's the palace here, you don't have to be too careful."

Listening to the words of the eldest princess, it seems that she is very familiar with Jin Ronghua.

Ah Cha frowned secretly.

The eldest princess and Jin Ronghua are familiar with each other, so why don't you tell yourself first?

"There's a stranger behind you, don't you really introduce you to this palace?"

They were all about to walk to the palace gate, but Ah Cha never saw the person who spoke.

It's a good person who doesn't hear it, only listens to it.

"Jin Ronghua said with a smile, you have always been well-informed, why do you need this palace to introduce you."

In the back-and-forth conversations between the eldest princess and Jin Ronghua, some of them are not only familiar, but even have a hint of invisible rivalry and a few other emotions.

Ah Cha couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a while, but she still followed behind the eldest princess without saying a word.

When he reached the palace gate, the gate was not yet opened.

The eldest princess glanced deeply at the palace gate before she said slowly.

"The palace has already brought people, is this how Jin Ronghua entertains guests?"

There was a little smile between the female voices inside.

"Those who come are guests, you have brought people here, and this palace must treat guests well."

As soon as the words fell, the gates of the palace opened.

"Bang-"

Before the door opened completely, the eldest princess gave Ah Cha a reassuring look.

"Jin Ronghua just has a weird temper, you just talk to her normally."

Is it just a weird temper?

Ah Cha always felt that there was something strange.

The vermilion palace door opened, revealing an unobstructed view of the scene inside.

A woman covered in silver jewelry appeared before them.

"Eldest princess, don't come unharmed."

"This goddess looks very special."

Ah Cha didn't expect her to guess her identity, and after a short period of surprise, she immediately reacted, barely maintaining her composure on her face.

"Jin Ronghua praised it falsely, there is nothing special about the deity."

For some reason, just hearing her words, Ah Cha faintly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But where exactly she was uneasy, she couldn't say why for a while.

Coincidentally, Jin Ronghua pursed his lips and smiled, and his eyes were kind when he looked at Ah Cha.

"The eldest princess and the goddess have come to the palace of the main palace, so let's go with the palace to drink a cup of hot tea."

Drink tea?

Why didn't we drink tea without saying a word when we first met?

Ah Cha hesitated again, but thinking of the eldest princess's explanation, she felt that she should still master the rhythm by herself.

"Jin Ronghua, the deity is no longer going around with you, today the deity came to you for something to say."

"Oh? Is the goddess so anxious that she can't even wait for a cup of hot tea? ”、

The atmosphere was faintly tense.

The eldest princess affectionately took Ah Cha's arm and said in a half-joking tone.

"Jin Ronghua is really good at making fun of people, it is not easy for the palace and the goddess to come to you this time, no matter how you say it, you have to avoid the ears and eyes of the dog emperor outside."

Jin Ronghua's gaze dimmed inadvertently.

She has dealt with the eldest princess for so many years, and she can still see what the eldest princess means.

Holding the arm of the goddess means that she is friendly with the goddess, so that she should not embarrass the goddess.

And the mention of the dog emperor is deliberately stimulating the hatred in her heart.

It's a pity that she is no longer the same person she used to be, and she will never lose control of her emotions because of the dog emperor again.

"Why should the eldest princess be afraid of the eyes and ears of the Dog Emperor, if you go to cry in front of the Queen Mother, the Dog Emperor will not do anything to you."

Ah Cha immediately heard the coldness in Jin Ronghua's words, and secretly said that it was not good.

"Eldest princess, Jin Ronghua, the deity is thirsty, it's not too much to ask for a cup of hot tea."

Her words brought the two of them back to their senses, and they answered her at the same time.

"Not excessive."

"Not excessive."

Tsk, there is such a tacit understanding.

I'm afraid that there is still a past between the eldest princess and Jin Ronghua.

Of course, now is not the time to discuss this.

Ah Cha knew very well that since Jin Ronghua knew his identity from the beginning, he knew his intentions even more.

Sure enough, just after entering the tea room, Jin Ronghua couldn't hide his words.

"Lord Goddess, this palace is very close to you, I wonder if I can talk to you alone?"

Before Ah Cha could respond, the eldest princess's reaction was unexpected.

She stood up suddenly, pointed at Jin Ronghua's nose and reprimanded loudly, "This palace warns you, don't offend Jinji!" Pander to...... The goddess is the person brought by this palace, if she has three long and two short, this palace will definitely die with you! ”

Who knew that Jin Ronghua was not angry when he heard it, but smiled.

"Okay, then the palace is waiting to die with you."

Ah Cha felt that this world was too magical.

Why are two people who talk cruelly to each other still standing in harmony with each other?

Ah Cha hurriedly responded before the eldest princess's next sentence.

"Okay, the deity can talk to you alone."

She turned her head again and gave the eldest princess a deep look.

"The deity is talking to Jin Ronghua, please ask the eldest princess to avoid it for a while."

The eldest princess naturally understood the meaning of Ah Cha's words, and nodded lightly at her, but her face still maintained that domineering attitude.

"Jin Ronghua, please don't forget the words of this palace!"

"The eldest princess's confession, this palace dare not forget."

Ah Cha looked at it and felt more and more that these two people were directly too weird.

After the eldest princess went out, Jin Ronghua carefully looked at Ah Cha from top to bottom.

"If the goddess has anything to ask the palace, just ask directly, and the palace will tell you."

She wasn't used to being stared at by the goddess with an inquiring eye all the time.

She said so, and Ah Cha didn't have a reason to be polite to her.

"I don't know what kind of past Jin Ronghua has between the eldest princess?"

Jin Ronghua was suddenly asked.

She hadn't been asked so bluntly in years.

It's just that she promised that Ah Cha would answer all the questions, and she didn't break her word.

So after a long silence, she opened her mouth.

"Presumably, the goddess has already seen that the palace and the eldest princess are very familiar with each other, and before that incident, it can even be said that we are friends who talk about everything."

"But because of that incident, the palace was placed under house arrest in this palace, and I never saw the eldest princess again."

Speaking of this, Jin Ronghua paused slightly, and there was uncontrollable sadness between his words.

"Maybe if she hadn't come here today with the goddess, she would have forgotten about me."

She was referring to the eldest princess.

But as soon as she heard her self-proclaimed, Ah Cha was still a little uncomfortable.

If you don't fit in, you don't get used to it, Ah Cha feels that it is still necessary to continue to ask.

"Can the deity know exactly what you mean by 'that thing'?"

Jin Ronghua laughed at himself.

"Do you know?"

"This palace has said that it will answer all your questions, so it will naturally tell you."

"She should have told you that this palace was originally a tribute girl sent by the Southern Barbarians, and with this good skin, she was valued by the emperor and has her current title and position."

"But this palace had a sweetheart before entering the palace, and he didn't like to be friends with people, so he wouldn't please the dog emperor, so of course he was disgusted."

"Then he was placed under house arrest by the Dog Emperor in this palace."

Ah Cha nodded again and again.

That's right, that's what the eldest princess told herself.

Looking at her reaction, Jin Ronghua made up the second half of the sentence.

"Sure enough, as Bengong thought, after so many years, she hasn't even changed her rhetoric."

Ah Cha was completely blinded.

The eldest princess shouldn't lie to herself.

And is she playing some kind of crossword puzzle with Jin Ronghua?

When I said it earlier, she showed that she was not familiar with Jin Ronghua.

As a result, now that I look at it, Jin Ronghua is clearly very familiar with the eldest princess.

"Well, she didn't lie to you, but she only told half of it."

Jin Ronghua handed Ah Cha a cup of tea without hesitation.

"Let me tell you the rest of the half."

Ah Cha took the teacup and glanced at her.

"Okay."

"It's true that I am a tribute girl sent by the Southern Barbarian Clan, but I am also the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarian Clan, the Holy Maiden who should have sacrificed at the age of eighteen."

"I was able to be sent to the palace, but it was just a chance encounter with her, I became friends with her, and after she found out what happened to me, she took the initiative to let me enter the palace."

"She knew that I had a sweetheart, and the first thing she said was to let me enter the palace as her female official."

"But I don't know why, after I entered the palace, I didn't see her, and what I was waiting for was indeed the Holy Decree of the Dog Emperor to canonize me as Rong Hua."

"I've always wanted to see her, to ask her why she's doing this, but every time someone sent out brought back the news that she refused to see me."

"Finally, at a palace banquet, I saw her sitting under the Dog Emperor, and I couldn't help but rush over and question her."

Jin Ronghua choked up as he spoke, and big tears rolled down.

"But she took it seriously in front of the dog emperor, scolding me for being just a tattered tribute girl from a low background, saying that I can only live by the emperor's grace in my life."

"It's okay to be told by my friend for many years, but she also took the palace concubine to insult me severely."

"Since then, I have closed the palace gates, never seen anyone again, made friends with others, and did not please the emperor."

"The Dog Emperor values my appearance and is bent on defiling me, but he never succeeds, and my position and title are still retained, and I even live a prosperous life in this huge palace."

Jin Ronghua raised his eyes and pointed around, with a reluctant smile on his face.

"Do you think I can't guess that there is her handiwork?"

Speaking of which, Ah Cha felt that everything could be explained.

She said why the eldest princess hesitated several times, and even the words before and after were so contradictory.

It turns out that there is such a past hidden.

But from this point of view, it seems that there is a deeper reason for the estrangement between the eldest princess and Jin Ronghua.

Otherwise, with the temperament of the eldest princess, she would never be able to insult her former friend so unbearably, let alone take her concubine to insult her together.

"Have you ever thought that you never talked to each other?"

Jin Ronghua wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter if we talk about it now, we're no strangers."

"......"

Ah Cha's words were interrupted unceremoniously by Jin Ronghua as soon as he was exported.

"Goddess, I know that you are not here to know the past between me and her, but also to know the origin of your identity and your mission."

"But it's a pity that I have a sweetheart and I don't want to give up my life to the emperor."

She admits that she does have a way of gaining the favor of the Dog Emperor.

After all, the Dog Emperor has never touched her body until now, as long as she gently submits and flirts, she will become the Dog Emperor's favorite concubine.

It can help the goddess and the people of the world.

But she is also an ordinary mortal.

She has a sweetheart, and they love each other very much, and if they hadn't been suddenly sent to the palace, they might have married a long time ago.

No matter what, she wants to keep her body pure, and she has been waiting for her sweetheart.

Ah Cha understood what she meant, but Jin Ronghua was the most suitable person to be placed by the emperor's side, and she had a system that could help her at any time, so she still wanted to fight for it.

"Jin Ronghua, what if the deity can help you perfunctory in front of the Dog Emperor, and you don't need to sacrifice your life for him?"

In response to her, Jin Ronghua smiled slightly apologetically, "I can't pass the hurdle in my heart." ”

"By the way, the goddess fell in love with me, so don't call me Jin Ronghua."

"I have my own name, my name is Jinlan."
