As the personal maids of Princess Xinping, they more or less sensed the princess's thoughts and sighed secretly in their hearts.
"You can fall in love with anyone, why do you like King Dai?"
"Although King Dai is young and romantic, his status is noble, and he makes people admire him at first glance. He has become the dream girl of many harems in the capital, but after all, he and the princess are aunt and nephew."
Of course, if the princess just thinks about this little thing in private, it won't hurt.
Some people may say that even if the acting king has a substantial relationship with her, these things have been rare in the royal family since ancient times. Being related by blood is nothing.
But those are actually unofficial histories, just erotic rumors spread in private, but once they come to light, they become more than just troublesome.
The censor is not a vegetarian. If he catches this matter, he will be quoted in a book, and he may be demoted and imprisoned.
However, the princess has hid in the Taoist temple, and the number of times she returns to the capital is very few. Even if she is no longer banned, she has trapped herself. Under such circumstances, people around them will naturally feel sorry for the princess, not the princess.
I feel like the princess has done something wrong.
The princess is currently in a low mood, and she also has something to do with the acting king.
They also heard the news. Princess Dai had given birth to a young heir, and Queen Dai had a successor. The couple was obviously in love with each other, and they had a son who was conceived together. How could the princess not feel sad after hearing this?
But they couldn't expose this matter, so they could only pretend not to know, or use other things to attract the princess's attention, or simply not mention it at all, leaving the princess alone.
Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the youngest prince of the Dai Wang Palace is one month old, and it is certain that he will not die suddenly. Although the Dai Wang is currently in the midst of a turmoil over the fight for his rightful son, many people are afraid to get close to him, but there are bound to be some people who want to.
Go to the Prince's Mansion to congratulate you.
Although their princess did not receive the invitation, she obviously wanted to go.
"It's so... cruel... I didn't even send an invitation."
Princess Xinping's lips moved slightly, and she walked over unknowingly, gently brushed the words on the scroll with her hand, read it carefully and deeply several times, and then she was asked to put the Begonia picture away.
He leaned back on the small couch in front of the window, closed his eyes, and after a while, he managed to suppress the mixed feelings, but he couldn't hide his emotions at all, and he couldn't let go between his eyebrows.
A female officer came in and saw this scene. She wanted to speak, but swallowed it back. She quickly lowered her head and stood silently.
This female officer is hers, but she can also be considered her mother's concubine's.
Therefore, in the past, Princess Xinping was often given words of advice.
But now there is a lot of silence.
After a while, the female officer asked softly: "Princess, are you still going?"
Princess Cai just ordered to prepare a car and go to Prince Dai's Mansion.
But then there was no movement again.
It takes a while to walk from the Taoist temple to the city. Although the celebration time is in the evening, if you really want to go, it is best to leave early.
"Go, why don't you go? I also have to meet the prince and the princess." Princess Xinping raised her head and said with a smile.
The female officer's sharp eyes saw that the princess was smiling like a flower, but her hands were crossed with blue veins, as if she was trying her best to control her emotions.
Seeing her like this, the female officer and the maid were worried.
"The car is ready? Let's go now. We can also enjoy the scenery along the way." Princess Xinping did not look at them. After speaking, she got up and went inside to change clothes.
She was already beautiful, and she put on a carefully prepared dress and a red cloak, which made her look stunningly beautiful.
I didn’t put on any more makeup, just left the Taoist temple and got on the bullock cart.
Coming down from the mountain and on the way back to the city, it started to rain lightly along the way. When the autumn wind blew, the autumn rain hit the oxcart slantingly, making a gentle sound.
"Winter is coming again, time flies so fast."
Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Princess Xinping saw the scenery along the way, once again going from full of life to ashes.
Plants and trees grow old and wither as they grow older, but what about people?
Sometimes she feels that she has withered ahead of time.
But the power flowing in her body always reminds Princess Xinping that she still has a way to go and another future.
Princess Xinping lowered the car curtain. Besides her, there were maids and female officials in the car, so she just raised her hand and looked down at her palm.
It was a magical power, she thought. She could even fly over walls and fly over walls when she was resting at night, when no one was around, and fulfill the legendary dream.
She is a woman, and although she is still young, less than ten years old, she pays special attention to her appearance. She even feels that her skin is like snow, and her youthful glow seems to have the effect of prolonging her life and making her ageless.
"Before, I never imagined that one day I would be able to practice Taoism."
"But this is still the acting king, not him. I cannot have such a possibility."
"but……"
In fact, the royal family has a lot of Taoist techniques, which may be even deeper than those of the Taoist sect. People in the clan have also copied many of them. If you practice according to this, no one can achieve it.
When she thought of this, she felt a little puzzled: "Didn't it mean that descendants of the emperor can't practice Taoism?"
"Or is it that King Dai has found another way to allow descendants of the emperor to practice?"
"I can do it, can I also act as the king?" Princess Xinping is smart and has a quick mind. In fact, she has already thought of this possibility.
If King Dai can practice cultivation and people find out about it, the matter will be serious.
If nothing else, my father will definitely be more vigilant about the king.
"It must be kept secret." Princess Xinping didn't want to tell anyone about this guess. She could practice it herself. She didn't tell anyone around her about it, she just practiced it secretly.
She had a hunch that if she really revealed this matter, not only the acting king, but also herself would be in danger.
This feeling was very unreasonable, but because of this feeling, she was more careful in her daily life and read several historical books and biographies.
"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade."
"Even if I were a princess and possessed Taoism, I might not be able to survive."
"Abolition of Taoism and forced haircut and life-long ban?" Thinking of this, Princess Xinping couldn't help but shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Those maids only thought that she had lingering feelings for Dai Wang, but they didn't know that the reason why she cared more and more about Dai Wang was not only because of the girl Huaichun, but also because she and Dai Wang shared a common secret.
Dai Wang is the man she likes, so she will only remember him more in her heart and cannot forget him. Is there any wonder in this?
But then another thought came to mind: "Did King Dai do it on purpose?"
"No, I'm obsessed with reading. I'm just a princess with no power at all. How could the king take the risk of leaking it and win over me?"
"If we try to win over you, we won't just say a word and say nothing."
"Xinping, the king really knows my heart, but he can't repay me, so he would rather take the risk and teach me the Dharma. He is really kind-hearted, but I...but I really don't want this sympathy."
"If there is no chance, why give me hope?"
With a "pop" sound, a teardrop rolled down and fell on the wooden box at his feet, shattering into pieces.
"We're here." Almost at the same time, the ox cart entered the city and stopped, and the female officer reminded her softly.
Princess Xinping woke up from her deep thoughts, wiped her tears quietly, and got down from the bullock cart with the help of the female officials and maids.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Dai Wang's Mansion in front of him.
