Chapter 25 When the Guard arrives at the Shangyuan Festival
Princess Yuling followed the path in the palace and returned to her palace before Qi Kongming, waiting for Qi Kongming's arrival.
When Princess Yuling first came back, her maids were all surprised. They also saw Princess Yuling changing into a set of clothes that she rarely wore, running out and then rushing back. This series of actions were very surprising.
Princess Yuling's maids all felt that Princess Yuling was a little different today.
Before the maids could recover, Eunuch Zhao walked in. The maids quickly pulled up the gauze curtain, and Princess Yuling sat on the bed, dignified and elegant.
"Your Highness, the bodyguards that the king has found for you are here." Eunuch Zhao said respectfully, without any mistakes.
"Xuan come in." Princess Yuling replied, Eunuch Zhao slowly withdrew, and after a while, Qi Kongming walked in.
As soon as Qi Kongming walked in, the maids serving the princess were all discussing the man in low voices.
"What a handsome young man. Isn't it because of him that the princess is so abnormal?"
"No way, there were men who were more handsome and elegant than this young master before, but they couldn't catch the princess's eyes. The princess is not the kind of person who only cares about appearance."
"The princess' abnormality must be related to this young master. I just don't know how long this young master can persist."
"Yes, the princess is very quirky. I wonder how long the young master can stay here this time?"
…
"Uh-huh!" Princess Yuling heard the discussion of her maids and immediately stopped her. The maids immediately put them away and stood quietly.
Qi Kongming walked to the tent and stood not far away, bowed and said, "Qi Kongming, a disciple of the Xuanwu Sect, pays homage to the princess."
"Master Qi, no courtesy." Princess Yuling said softly, as if she were a delicate woman. Huh? Where has he heard this voice before? When Qi Kongming heard Princess Yuling's voice, he suddenly felt that Princess Yuling's voice was a bit familiar.
"I accepted the mission from the Lord Yanhua in the Xuanwu Sect to protect the princess during the Cangling Mountain trial. I hope the princess has any plans then. Can you tell me in advance so that I can be prepared." He suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
, Qi Kongming said neither humble nor arrogantly, expressing the purpose of coming here this time.
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely inform you when the time comes. However, there is still some time before the trial at Cangling Mountain, so you don't have to worry." Princess Yuling said.
"In this case, I won't disturb you, princess, and I'll take my leave." After hearing Princess Yuling's answer, Qi Kongming thought that there was still some time before the Cangling Mountain trial, but he was too impatient, so he was ready to leave.
Come back and see me again after some time.
"Slow down!" Princess Yuling stood up, moved lightly, pushed open the gauze curtain, and revealed her true face.
Qi Kongming was stopped by Princess Yuling, so he had to hold on and turn around, and then he was stunned.
I saw a woman pushing open the gauze curtain to reveal her true face. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, extremely noble, and had a beautiful face. She could be said to be the queen of the country.
She has a proud figure, and the clothes just outline her curves.
"I'm rude." Qi Kongming immediately recovered. Thinking of what he had just done, he immediately felt that he was rude. He lowered his head with an embarrassed look on his face. At the same time, he was also criticizing himself in his heart. Why did he see Princess Yuling like this?
, this is something that only happens in front of Senior Sister, how could it happen again? It’s really hopeless.
Princess Yuling was happy when she saw Qi Kongming's reaction. Women like the opposite sex to praise their appearance. Qi Kongming's stunned appearance was the best compliment to Princess Yuling's appearance. At the same time, seeing Qi Kongming's embarrassment also made Qi Kongming feel
This person was quite funny, and I laughed out loud accidentally.
"Young master, you don't have to be like this. I have something to ask you." Princess Yuling said after shedding the joy in her heart.
"Princess, it doesn't matter, I will help if I can." Qi Kongming replied, not daring to look directly at Princess Yuling.
"Can you be my guard from now on?" Princess Yuling said, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"This...I can do it. Anyway, I have nothing to do in Yanhua City. It depends on whether the leader of the Yanhua Kingdom agrees." Qi Kongming hesitated and replied.
"Then you agreed?" Princess Yuling asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes." Qi Kongming replied.
"My father, you don't have to worry. I'll tell you, by the way, you can move into the palace today." Princess Yuling said happily, and the trace of anxiety in Princess Yuling's heart disappeared. For Qi Kongming, she
But not only was she interested, she also had to take advantage of Qi Kongming.
"Moving into the palace? There's no need for that. I can stay at the inn in the city." Qi Kongming said immediately as soon as he heard that he was going to move into the palace.
"This way you can protect me properly." Princess Yuling said.
"Okay." Qi Kongming replied. This is the palace, which is heavily guarded. Where do you need my guard? I really don't know what Princess Yuling has in mind. Qi Kongming thought in his heart, of course, since she asked like this, he would not resist.
.
"Don't worry, I will tell my father about the remuneration. It should be indispensable by then." Seeing that Qi Kongming was still hesitant, Princess Yuling immediately tempted Qi Kongming.
"Well, I don't care much about the remuneration, but in that case, I'll go back and clean up first." Qi Kongming said, turning around to leave.
"No need for you, I will send someone there. Don't worry. Just wait here. I will talk to my father and arrange a place for you." Princess Yuling stopped Qi Kongming and set off to find her.
After she left, Qi Kongming found a place where the guests were resting, sat down, and thought about something.
The maids serving the princess saw and heard the conversation between Princess Yuling and Qi Kongming, and their hearts were filled with excitement. It was the first time they saw the princess talking to a man so kindly. It was a rare sight in a hundred years.
After a while, Princess Yuling came back and told Qi Kongming that the matter was settled, and took Qi Kongming to his room.
At this time, the news of Qi Kongming's entry into the palace also spread, including the scene where Princess Yuling left Qi Kongming behind. This caused an uproar among the princes and nobles of Yanhua City.
The Queen also received this news. She couldn't sit still and immediately went to the Lord Yanhua.
Qi Kongming was in his room watching the palace ladies sorting out their belongings, but he didn't know that he had stirred up the turmoil in Yanhua City.
Princess Yuling sat on her bed, replaying her plan again and again in her mind, and smiled.
In the next few days, Yanhua City remained as usual, nothing happened, and Qi Kongming also stayed in the palace. However, Princess Yuling asked Qi Kongming to hang out in the palace from time to time. She also taught Qi Kongming how to play Go and sometimes played the piano.
After listening to Qi Kongming, Qi Kongming couldn't shirk, so he had to accompany Princess Yuling.
But this scene was spread by someone with ulterior motives, and immediately rumors spread. Of course, Qi Kongming lived in a deep palace and had no power in Yanhua City. Naturally, he didn't know that he was already famous in Yanhua City.
Time passed, the Lantern Festival arrived, Yanhua City became even more lively, all kinds of lanterns were hung up, people came and went, and the hawking sounds became louder.
In the palace, many maids and eunuchs began to prepare for the Royal Lantern Festival banquet.
Today, Qi Kongming had some free time. Princess Yuling also had to prepare the clothes for the banquet today, so she had no time to come to him. He had no choice but to practice in his room. He thought that tonight's dinner had nothing to do with him.
Today, after the Lantern Festival, Qi Kongming's age has increased by one year and he has become a sixteen-year-old boy. Looking back on the past, Qi Kongming feels that everything has changed too fast. At this time last year, he was still living in the village.
On Shangyuan Festival, he didn’t know any cultivation or many things, but now he has become a direct disciple of the head of Xuanwu Sect, one of the seventy-two holy sects. He has experienced life and death, and has seen many magical things. It’s true that
