Shuangxi was lying on the bed, breathing evenly. It looked like he was asleep.
The two maids who came to pack things talked softly.
"This Princess Xi is really lucky. I heard before that she was a poor child, but in the blink of an eye, she became a princess. It's really a comparison between people... I wish I had such a good life."
One of the palace maids said nonchalantly.
The other maid was obviously calmer. She slapped the maid with a sad face and said, "What a blessing. I think she has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. Don't you know? This princess... is going to marry to the Northern Desert.
Yes, what kind of place is that in the Northern Desert? It’s a wild land. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to return to Anqing in this life.”
"If I could marry and become a princess in the Northern Desert, I would go. It would be much better than being a little maid in the palace!" The maid who spoke at the beginning blinked her eyes and imagined.
"Hey, that's you. You don't know, right? This Princess Xi used to be the wife of a respectable family. I heard she was a wife. Being a rich lady in the Anqing Dynasty is not as comfortable as being the princess of Lao Shizi in the Northern Desert.
Too much?" The Calm Palace Lady said with a sneer.
"Ah? That's it!" The palace maid, who looked sad and envious just now, looked surprised.
"Shh, keep your voice down!" Seeing that the other party's voice was getting louder, the calm palace maid quickly reminded him.
Only then did the two palace maids realize that they seemed to have said something too much, so they packed up their things quickly and were about to leave.
Shuangxi suddenly opened his eyes from the bed and said with all his strength: "Stop!" Shuangxi was naturally not asleep just now. She lay on this bed every day, how could she still sleep? Just now, she,
I was just lying there thinking about things, but I didn't expect that I would hear such news.
The two palace maids stopped for a moment, looked at each other, and then walked out again.
Shuangxi snorted coldly and said, "I remember your appearance. Although I can't get up now, I am a princess after all. It's very easy to deal with you two cheap maids!"
After hearing this, the two palace maids quickly turned around, walked a few steps, and arrived near the bed. They knelt down and said to Shuangxi: "Princess, please forgive me, princess, please forgive me."
"I don't want your lives. Please tell me clearly what you know!" Shuangxi asked with a cold face. She has always been kind. She has never had a servant kneel in front of her like this. After all, she
In his heart, he still comes from that era when everyone was equal. Although there were people of high and low status in that era, Duan Duan would not allow anyone to kneel down casually.
The reason why Shuangxi was like this today was that he was really angry at staying in the palace, and he just heard something from the words of the two palace maids. That's why he was like this.
"Princess, we are just slaves. What can we know? If you have any questions, go and ask Aunt Hui." The calm palace maid lowered her eyebrows and performed Tai Chi with ease.
Shuangxi sneered in her heart, if she could ask, why bother with this today?
But today, she must ask the whole story!
Shuangxi said coldly: "Do you have to force me to deal with you?"
"Princess, please spare me. I really can't say anything. If I say anything, I will lose my head..." The other maid was not as calm as the maid. She had a good heart. Being threatened by Shuangxi, she quickly began to beg for mercy.
The calm palace maid looked at her with disgust and said sternly: "Xiao He!"
Shuangxi smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Is your name Xiaohe?"
The palace maid named Xiao He timidly said: "Yes..."
"What about you?" Shuangxi struggled to sit up and looked at the maid next to Xiao He and asked.
The calm palace maid was, after all, a palace maid. When the princess asked her her name, of course she had no way to refuse, so she had to reluctantly say: "My name is Lancao."
Shuangxi chuckled.
This laughter made both Lancao and Xiaohe change their expressions. You must know that the women in this palace all smile with hidden dangers. The happier they laugh, the more unlucky someone will be.
Looking at things like this today, the two of them are the unlucky ones.
Lan Cao hated Xiao He a little in her heart. If she hadn't been so talkative, she wouldn't have suffered this unreasonable disaster!
Just when the two of them were filled with anxiety, Shuangxi spoke slowly but with a strong threat in his tone: "You'd better tell me what you know, otherwise... I'll go find Aunt Hui now and tell her
She, you chewed your tongue while I was sleeping and said many things that I didn’t understand.”
Lan Cao was shocked. She didn't plan to say anything at first because she felt that no matter how cruel this papery princess was, she could never be as cruel as Aunt Hui. Now, when she heard that Shuangxi was going to tell Aunt Hui about this matter, she panicked.
What kind of person is Aunt Hui? Thinking of her, Lan Cao couldn't help but tremble. Xiao He was more thorough. His face turned pale and he couldn't hold on anymore. He cried and begged for mercy: "Please let us live, princess."
ah!"
Shuangxi felt that this Xiaohe was a little more simple-minded and could not bear to embarrass her. However, she was not a Holy Mother. She could not protect herself, but she did not have the extra kindness to sympathize with others.
Shuangxi looked at the two people and said in a persuasive manner: "I can give you a way out, but it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity."
"Princess Xi, please give me a clear explanation." Lancao tried her best to calm down and asked.
Shuangxi said gently: "Tell me what I want to know, and I promise not to tell Aunt Hui that you told me."
The two looked at each other, as if they didn't believe it.
Shuangxi continued: "It will do me no good to tell you guys."
Lan Cao was a smart person. At this time, she begged for mercy and said: "Princess Xi, you have a bodhisattva heart, just be kind and let us go. How can we dare to say anything? If you know about it, Aunt Hui will definitely find out who said it. Then I will
He and Xiao He still have to be dealt with."
Shuangxi's tone suddenly became stern again: "Don't toast or drink as a penalty! If you tell the truth, there will still be a chance of survival by then. If you don't tell me, I will find Aunt Hui now and accuse you of chewing your tongue."
thing!"
Shuangxi knew that most of these slaves were bullies and fearful of the tough. If she wanted to be softer today, she would definitely be fooled by them!
Lan Cao then whispered: "Princess, if you want to know anything, just ask."
Shuangxi then smiled, took off a pair of Kodama bracelets from his left and right hands, and said to the two of them, "If you answer correctly, these bracelets will be yours."
After beating him with a mallet, he still had to give me another sweet date. Otherwise, if these two palace maids were so secretive, all my efforts would be in vain.
The two people raised their heads and took a careful look at the things Shuangxi took out. They were delighted. This thing... is more valuable than what the concubines brought! You can tell it is a valuable thing at a glance. If it is hidden carefully,
When you are twenty-five years old and leave the palace, you can buy a good dowry and find a family to marry. Otherwise, how can you marry at that age?
Even if you can't get married, with this, you won't starve to death.
The two palace maids were overjoyed, but they didn't dare to look further. You know, if you take this thing, you risk losing your head. If Aunt Hui finds out, their lives will be ruined...
The two palace maids were caught in a tangled state. As the saying goes, birds die for food and people die for wealth. In the end, the two palace maids chose to obey. Lancao said to Shuangxi: "You ask, tell me everything you know."
Having said that, it is better to beg for help and get something.
Shuangxi frowned and asked, "Do you know why I was named a princess?" Shuangxi had been thinking about this question. She didn't know what Emperor Anqing had in mind. She just listened to the conversation between the two palace maids and seemed to know.
Something happened, but I'm not sure.
Lan Cao lowered his head and said, "That's because the emperor wants to marry Bei Mo."
Shuangxi bit his lip, and then continued to ask: "Why me? I remember that the emperor has a princess..."
Lancao said: "The royal princess is so delicate, how can she go to the Northern Desert to suffer, and... the envoy from the Northern Desert wants you by name..."
When Shuangxi heard this, he said angrily: "Do I, the Anqing Dynasty, have to be humiliated by Beimo like this? I will give it to whoever wants it?" After hearing this, Shuangxi understood that it was Wu Xian who was causing trouble here.
The unknown is scary. Shuangxi has been trapped here for the past few days. She doesn't even know who the enemy is, so of course she feels flustered and scared. But now that she knows that the other party is Wu Xian, she is much calmer.
Instead of that fear, I felt a little more angry.
Xiao He on the side said timidly: "I heard that the Northern Desert army has advanced into Yanyue City. A hundred thousand troops may march to Anqing at any time!"
"How come the Dunchi tribe has such a force? Aren't they afraid that if they send out a large army, they will be attacked by other tribes in the rear?" Shuangxi murmured to himself, wondering why Wu Xian could be so crazy.
Xiao He said softly: "A few days ago, I went to clean the political hall and heard that the emperor... said that the Northern Desert had been unified..."
In fact, this is no longer a secret. Shen Mo also knew this, but he didn't tell Shuangxi.
When Shuangxi heard the news, he was shocked. Has the Northern Desert been unified? If the war starts again at this time, the Anqing Dynasty will definitely suffer. Although the Anqing Dynasty has many brave generals, the court is corrupt and the foundation of the country is shaking. In the short term,
It's okay to fight, but if you fight for a long time, you will lose!
Shuangxi figured it out, was this the reason why Emperor Anqing plotted against her and made her a princess?
Shuangxi gritted her teeth. She didn’t have the righteousness to sacrifice for the country. All she wanted was for her family to be happy together. She wouldn’t just accept her fate! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
