The Runaway Princess: The Story of the Moon

Chapter 32 Entering the Palace ([-])

Silence~~~~ Now I know why the second concubine of the harem, who usually seldom interacts, appeared in Ruoxia Palace at the same time today.Probably the emperor rewarded the two of them with the things brought by the envoys from Nanling. The purpose of today is to show off, and the other is to look at each other's things out of curiosity.The two of them are really not ordinary boring!Unfortunately, I can only lament in my heart.

"Sister Yan, since we are in Ruoxia Palace, let my sister be the master first." Concubine Shu's sweet voice gave me goosebumps.

The virtuous concubine Liu Zhenyan didn't hesitate, she reached out and opened the blue brocade box next to her, and took out a long, thin and conical stick. "It's called clairvoyance, and it can see far away." Concubine Xian's introduction really aroused everyone's curiosity, after Concubine Shu saw it, she also liked it very much.What clairvoyance? After hearing what she said, I knew it was a telescope.

"Sister Fang, I don't know what goodies the emperor rewarded my sister?"

"My one is also a stick, but it's not a 'clairvoyance' like my sister Mengqing's. My one is called a 'kaleidoscope'."

Kaleidoscope, is this one the other?

Concubine Shu played with the kaleidoscope in her hand and said: "Look in from here, move your hand, different angles will have different colors."

It's really a kaleidoscope, this time even the names are exactly the same, so uninspired!
"It's so interesting, my sister really got a good thing."

Even children find it interesting to play with kaleidoscopes, but if they see smart pets, PSP, wil, and mobile phones, what expressions will they make?

A few concubines who were of a higher rank and had a better relationship with the second concubine also joined in, played with the kaleidoscope and binoculars, and laughed cheerfully from time to time.It seemed that they were really having a good time.Although the other few of her lower ranks were also curious, due to their identities, they could only stand aside and watch.However, I soon discovered that besides me, there was another person who was not interested in this, and that was Princess Shuo Ji Xueyi.When I looked back at her, she was looking at me too.

"Six siblings, don't you want to go and see together?"

"Si... Fourth sister-in-law, didn't you go too?" When she said the word "fourth sister-in-law", she paused.She really likes Xing Yan.It's just a pity that for Xing Li, women are not as important as Jiangshan.Ji Xueyi is bound to have a hard time falling in love with him.Besides, she is now his sixth younger sibling.At this point she looked at me as if hesitant to speak.

"Yue'er, Xueyi, let's take a look together." Concubine Xian suddenly said, and we couldn't refuse, so the two joined the circle together.

After everyone dispersed, Ji Xueyi followed Concubine Shu back to Bining Palace.Concubine Xian left me for lunch.

Since it is already summer and the weather is getting hotter, I don't have much appetite, so I just sit and eat something casually.

"Yue'er, how are you getting along with Xi'er?"

"It's pretty good." Of course, if he can abide by the agreement and become a nominal husband and wife with me, I think we will have a better life.

"It's really hard for you. Not long after we got married, the emperor sent you to work in Xichuan."

"The emperor trusts the prince to entrust him with important tasks, Yue'er understands."

"I know that Yue'er, you are a sensible child."

"Your Majesty won the prize."

"Recently, Yue'er is not here, what does Yue'er do at home?"

Silence~~~~ This adoptive mother is really competent, and she actually helped her son to find a post. "I didn't do anything, just stroke the piano, practice calligraphy, and pass the time."

"Yue'er played the tune at Ben Gong's birthday banquet that day, and Ben Gong liked it very much. When Yue'er has free time, come to the palace to chat with Ben Gong. It's also good to play the piano."

"Yes, ma'am."

Say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes.I basically implement the principle of answering all questions and never talking too much.Concubine Xian didn't ask any more questions, and just chatted with me about household chores and some of Xing Yan's life preferences.For example, what he likes to eat, how it tastes, and so on.

After finally finishing my meal, Concubine Xian let me go back.Not far from Ruoxia Palace, Ji Xueyi could be seen standing beside the Taiye Pond from far away.Just now I guessed that she probably had something to say to me.Sure enough, when passing by her, she stopped me aloud: "Sister-in-law Si, would you like to accompany Xueyi for a walk."

Isn't she too bold, this place must be the imperial palace, even if she wants to say something, she can't be here.And I predict that what she wants to say to me is probably related to Xing Yan. "Sixth brother and sister, I heard that there is a newly opened Feather Building in the capital, and the 'Galaxy Falling Nine Heavens' tastes good there. I have wanted to try it for a long time. I wonder if the sixth brother and sister would like to go together?"

"Since it is recommended by my sister-in-law, I must try it."
