Murong Qingcheng and Ji Minmin had entered the palace together. The location of Changrui Palace was a little remote. They walked for a long time with the person who led the way. As soon as the person left, Ji Minmin's maid, Ah Ji, began to complain,"Miss, this place seems to be very remote. Our luck is really bad!”
"What's the big deal? It's fine as long as it can accommodate people.”"Besides, it's not like we're going to live here forever.”
"Miss Mu Rong is right. As long as one day, our Miss becomes the Crown Princess, she won't have to live in such a deserted place.”Ah Ji thought a lot.
"Ah Ji, don't talk nonsense." Ji Minmin was a little embarrassed."There are so many women to choose from. Be careful that the walls have ears.”
"Oh, yes, Miss." Ah Ji looked embarrassed.
Changrui Palace was divided into two sides, each with a main room and two side rooms, sharing a hall. Although it was remote, two thick osmanthus trees could be seen as soon as they entered the door. Although it was not the season for osmanthus flowers to bloom, they were still luxuriant and full of vitality.
"Sister, you choose first." "This place is quite clean and elegant," said Ji Minmin.”
"Alright, then I choose the one on the right.”Qingcheng pointed casually.
"Ah Ji, let's go. We'll enter the main room on the left.”Ji Minmin said to Ah Ji.
A light breeze opened the door of the main room on the right, and a faint musty smell wafted out. "Sister, it must have been a long time since anyone lived here."”
"That should be the case." Qingfeng nodded.
Qingcheng entered the room, and what greeted her eyes was a simple and elegant decoration." There was a white gauze curtain, a plain-colored carpet, and even the vase was made of white porcelain, but there were no flowers in the vase. There was an ivory zither near the window. The dressing table was the color of wood, simple and elegant. Everything was quiet and leisurely.
Qingcheng's mood gradually improved, and she fiddled with the zither.""Wind and Moon, I think this place is very suitable for me.”
Qing Feng seemed relieved and said,""As long as you like it." She was afraid that Miss would be unhappy. Fortunately, she was worried too much.
"Young miss, the decoration here is somewhat like the boudoir in the fu.”Ming Yue said.
"Ming Yue, don't say anymore. If you say anything else, Miss will miss home. They had been out for a day, but Old Master and the others still did not know the situation here.”
"The palace should have sent someone to inform them.”Qingcheng said.
"Miss, are we really going to stay here for a month?”Ming Yue asked.
"It should be. Sigh." "I really want to leave the palace immediately." Qingcheng sighed.”
"Madam Murong, it's already past dinner time. Why isn't Yan 'er back yet?"”Murong Youdao started to feel restless.
"Old Master, wait a little longer. Perhaps there are too many women choosing consorts today and delayed the time!”
"Yes, Father. When I came back from the palace today, I saw many women waiting in line to be selected. Mother must be right. It's still early.”Murong Shang 'an comforted his father.
At this moment, a maid came in to report,"Master, Madam, someone from the palace has arrived. They are waiting in the outer hall."”
Murong Youdao was nervous." We can't hide from what's coming. Let's go and meet him."”
In the outer hall, an official wearing a green robe was waiting with a calm expression. Seeing Murong Youdao come out, he immediately bowed and said,"Congratulations, Lord Murong, your daughter has become the chosen daughter!”
Murong Youdao didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction and could only agree,""Where, where!"
"Daren, congratulations.”The inner official continued,"Your daughter has received the Emperor's grace. If she is chosen by the Crown Prince, she will be the future Crown Princess. She will be the mother of the country in the future."”
"My daughter is not talented, how can she accompany the crown prince consort?”Murong Youdao's heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Sigh, Yan 'er had become the chosen woman. This was more difficult than the original plan.
"Lord Murong is too humble. Who in the Imperial Court doesn't know that you are a man of great ability and that your sons are both civil and martial. I believe that Miss Mu Rong must be an intelligent and open-minded person. Please wait for good news.”"It's getting late. I still have something to do. I'm leaving."”
After sending off the eunuchs, Murong Youdao had an indescribable feeling in his heart. When Madam Gao saw her husband like this, she couldn't say anything. Any persuasion would probably be useless.
Murong Shang 'an looked at his unhappy father and said,"Dad, we have to have confidence in Yan 'er. She will definitely not be selected.”
"I hope so." Murong Youdao didn't want to say anything else. He shook his head and sighed as he returned to his room. It was almost the fifteenth day, and her daughter's headache was coming again.
"Will your sister be alright in the palace?" Mrs. Gao asked her son. Mother only hoped that she would come back soon. Don't cause trouble."
"Becoming a chosen female has a high possibility of being eliminated. Younger Sister should know the limits of this. In a few days, this child will go to the palace to inquire and discuss.”
"That's the only way." Madam Gao's mood was equally heavy.
This was the first time Evergreen Palace had fallen asleep in the palace, and Qingcheng couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Qing Feng and Ming Yue had already fallen asleep in the room. She did not want to disturb them, so she simply put on her clothes and got out of bed. Thinking that she might run into Min Min or Ah Ji, she had no choice but to change her appearance and walk to the hall to get some fresh air. Ji Min Min happened to be sitting there drinking tea.
"Why are you up too?" "I'm sitting here drinking tea because I can't sleep." Ji Minmin put down her teacup.”
"Just like you." Qingcheng walked over.
"Are you homesick?" Ji Minmin poured Qingcheng some tea.”
"Yes." Qingcheng replied. She couldn't tell him what was on her mind.
"Me too." "Do you want to know why I'm here?" Ji Minmin asked.”
Qingcheng nodded. Perhaps she could sleep in peace after chatting with him.
"Actually, I was forced to come by my father," Ji Minmin said. Even though I think I'm pretty, I'm clear that I'm not cut out to be the Crown Princess. I don't like to scheme against each other, and with my personality, I'm not suited to stay here.”
"But you still came. Is it difficult to disobey your father's orders?”
"No, I'm here to choose a consort for my mother." Ji Minmin shook her head.”
"How do you know?" Qingcheng looked at her face, which had suddenly darkened.
"Mother has been bedridden all these years. Even though Father has invited several doctors, she hasn't improved. Father said that if I can become the Crown Princess, I can invite the best doctor in the country and use the best herbs to treat Mother. For this, I have to give it a try no matter what.”
Qingcheng looked at her with admiration." Your intentions are very good. I hope you get what you want. I also hope that your mother will recover soon."”
"What about you? If I become the Crown Princess, wouldn't your wish be dashed?”Ji Minmin asked.
"I don't want to be the Crown Princess.”Qingcheng said.
"Why?" Ji Minmin asked in shock. Don't you want to bring glory to your family? The crown prince consort, what an honor.”
"You can be it. I'll forget it.”Qingcheng was half-joking.
Ji Minmin suddenly smiled slyly and asked,"Do you have someone you like?"
"No, I didn't." Qingcheng quickly denied it,"I'm afraid there's no one in this world that I love."”Because of her illness, she did not have any illusions about this.
"You're the young miss of an official family and you're not ugly, why would elder sister say such words?”Minmin did not believe it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest.”
Ji Minmin got up." Then I'll go to bed first. Sister, you should rest early too. You still have school tomorrow."”
After Minmin left, Qingcheng walked out of the hall and stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky. The moon in the sky was about to turn round again. The cold light shone on her. She suddenly felt uncomfortable on her face, so she returned to her room and quickly removed her disguise. Only then did she feel more comfortable.
Still not sleepy, Qingcheng walked out of the room again. The surroundings were very quiet. Even Ji Minmin had probably fallen asleep. The entire palace seemed to be asleep. Qingcheng had already noticed when she arrived that there was a small garden next to Changrui Palace. It should be empty at this hour.
Her thoughts raced. She took a deep breath and leaped up. She was already standing in the small garden. Under the moonlight, Qingcheng saw a large patch of green bamboo growing here. She picked up a broken bamboo from the ground and weighed it in her hand. It was still considered suitable. She didn't bring her sword at home and used it as a sword.
She held the bamboo sword in her hand and began to make gestures. She did not expect that the more she played, the more interested she became. He thought to himself that since it was already late, this place was remote, and there were no palace guards, he might as well vent his anger and kill time. Therefore, she held her breath and immediately leaped onto the high wall. In a few moments, she was standing on the roof of Changrui Palace.
Murong Qingcheng was jumping on the roof, as light as a feather. Unknowingly, she had leaped out of Changrui Palace. The bamboo sword in her hand had changed into various moves, and she had played it vividly. It seemed that only by doing so could she get rid of the troubles in her heart, but she did not know that she had quietly gotten into trouble.
"Who is it?" A cold voice came from somewhere.
Qingcheng was shocked. At the same time, she felt a powerful gust of air coming towards her. She tilted her head and agilely dodged several faint lights. With a few puffing sounds, the thin light shot into a big tree not far behind him.
That was close! Qingcheng sighed inwardly,"Fortunately, my martial arts skills haven't regressed. Otherwise, I'd be dead!" She did not dare to hesitate any longer. She leaped up and down several times in the direction she came and went before finally returning to Changrui Hall safely. She was about to take out her handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, but she could not find the handkerchief that had followed her all day.
Qingcheng was a little flustered. Could it be that she had lost it in a hurry just now? It was all his fault. Who was the one who spoke just now? Could it be the palace guards? Please don't pick it up. She began to regret her rash actions just now. This was the palace, how could she act recklessly?
As soon as Qing Feng saw the young lady, he immediately rushed up.""Miss, it's so late. Where did you go? It's cold at night. I wanted to add a blanket for you, but I didn't see you on the bed. You really scared me!”
"Miss, this is the palace. I was worried that you might have lost your way. It's good that you're back." Ming Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
"Uh, I couldn't sleep, so I walked around casually. Don't worry, I won't get lost.”
Qing Feng smelled a strange fragrance.”
Ming Yue also smelled it and said angrily,"Young Lady said to keep a low profile in the palace. It has only been a few hours and you have already forgotten?”
Qingcheng quickly surrendered. The two sisters were right. Qingcheng didn't dare to do it again. I just couldn't sleep, so I practiced for a while.”
"Practicing for a while? Do you have a sword?" Ming Yue asked.
Qing Feng saw the scratches on Miss's hand and felt his heart ache.""Miss, why is your hand like this? Does it hurt?"
Qingcheng immediately shook her head.”
Qing Feng quickly wiped her hands with a handkerchief.""Aren't you afraid that we are afraid? Furen wants us sisters to take care of Young Lady. If anything happens to Young Lady in the Palace, how are we going to explain to Furen?”
"Yes, yes." Brightmoon agreed.
Qingcheng looked at the handkerchief in Qing Feng's hand and felt a little worried. However, she didn't want to say it out loud, so she sent them off to sleep.
Seeing that the young miss was fine, the two sisters returned to the room to rest.
Qingcheng lay on the bed, thinking about where her handkerchief had fallen. It was not appropriate for others to pick up such a private item.
