deep palace cold girl

Chapter 9

I frowned, it was difficult to lure away the guards guarding the alley, my eyes lit up as I looked around.I squatted down, took out from my arms a golden sword that brother Ling had given me not long ago, and found a rope.

Dong'er looked at me puzzled, I smiled faintly, and handed over the sword and rope to her.

"Dong'er, move over quietly and stop two meters away from that wall. Do you see that stone? Just put the golden sword on the stone, and then cover it with leaves!"

"Princess, you, what are you going to do?"

After hearing what I said, Dong'er was in shock, and the hand holding the sword trembled a little.Looking at the guards walking back and forth on the edge of the wall, he swallowed.

"Don't ask, just put the sword on the stone, and then drag the rope tied to the hilt back!"

My eyes were irresistible, even though Dong'er was afraid, she didn't dare to resist me.

Slowly move your body and move to the side of the wall.I slowly raised my head and looked at the gleaming gold-plated characters on the building plaque opposite, with a smile on the corner of my lips.

Dong'er's action was considered successful, she put her things away, crawled back carefully, and then handed me the rope tied to the golden sword.

"Princess, you almost scared me to death!"

Dong'er complained, I patted her on the head, and comforted her: "Today's credit, the Princess will remember, and I will reward you well!"

Dong'er smiled wryly, she didn't want a reward, she just wanted the princess to come back safely without being discovered!
Otherwise, her little life is really in danger, thinking of the little prince's eyes that are colder than ice, she wants to shiver.

The sun, hanging in mid-air, was still early at noon.

I slowly pulled the rope, and the leaves covering the golden sword slid down with my movements. A dazzling light shot out, and when I lifted the golden sword lightly, the light reflected on the big gilded characters. The plaque shook, finally attracting the attention of the guards.

"Quick! There is an anomaly!"

The light spot shaking on the plaque could not tell my direction, the guards hurriedly gathered and walked in the opposite direction.

They would never have thought that the person who caused the chaos was actually inside the palace, and they all thought that someone from outside broke in.

Seeing that all the guards were searching for him, I grabbed Dong'er, who was stupid, and rushed towards the alley.

The wall of the alley is not high, and you can climb up with a few stones.Dong'er and I moved quickly, and successfully climbed out of the palace before the guards returned.

Standing on the street, Dong'er was still in shock, confused, and asked in a daze for a while, "Princess, what happened just now?"

I looked up proudly and looked at her with a smile, shaking the golden sword in my hand.

"Brother Ling taught me! Golden swords can reflect light, and bright spots will appear in darker places. I made them think that thieves broke into the palace. This is called Tiaohulishan!"

Brother Ling must not have imagined that the knowledge he gave me helped me. Thinking that if he found out about my sneaking out of the palace, I would regret it a little. I wonder if Brother Ling would be angry.

Shaking his head, now that he has come out, he no longer thinks about it, let's talk about it when the time comes!

The clothes on my body are very simple, and I can't tell the identity of the princess of Muyang Palace.

"Dong'er, remember to call me Miss! Now, I'm not the princess!"

Leading Dong'er into the bustling market, I looked at every place dizzyingly, and the smiles on everyone's faces, I knew that only in this kind of place could I breathe freely.

"Dong'er, you have been out of the palace, you should know where is more fun and lively?"

Seeing me constantly shuttling through the crowd, Dong'er followed in a panic and kept reminding me not to take off my veil.

Passers-by on the road may be curious about me wearing a veil, and look back at me from time to time. I have long been used to this kind of gaze.

"Miss, Dong'er is worried, if she is discovered..."

"Dong'er, we've already come out, haven't we? So, instead of worrying about that, it's better to have a good time and worry about it when you get back. What do you think?"

Dong'er was startled, then nodded in a daze.

"Uh, it seems to be!"

I shrugged, ignored her, and walked away.

"Miss, since that's the case, Dong'er will take Miss to the shore of Fengming Lake, where a poetry competition and a rowing competition are being held for the past two days. It's very lively!"

Dong'er's smile was a bit weird, but I didn't think about it, and smiled happily.

As Dong'er walked towards the shore of Fengming Lake, I didn't know that there I would meet him, a man who subverted my life.

"Miss, look, the past is the most famous Fengming Lake in our Tianshu Kingdom. According to legend, the ancient Virgin Mary descended to the mortal world and once transformed into a colorful phoenix to sing auspiciousness here. Since then, there has been a legend about Fengming Lake. This Every April and May, many people come from all over the world to worship and hold many interesting activities, which have been handed down year after year, and it has become the Poetry Competition and Boat Race."

"Whether it's Xiaojiabiyu or a lady, they will come to the Temple of the Holy Mother by Fengming Lake to pray for their marriage during this period. And some young men and talented men will also show their talents here, which has created a lot of good relationships. Let's come out today What a coincidence, Miss, how about we go to the Notre Dame Temple later? Miss has reached the age to talk about marriage!"

Squeezed in the crowd, Dong'er and I held hands so as not to get separated.

This girl was still worried just now, but now her face flushed with excitement, and she kept telling me about the legend of Fengming Lake.

As for Fengming Lake, I've heard of it before, but I didn't expect that this poem fight would be so lively as the boat race.

Go to the Temple of Our Lady to worship?I smiled bitterly, so what if I begged, my marriage cannot be decided by myself.

Day after day, I can't figure out more and more why Brother Ling brought me back to the palace eight years ago and gave me such a lofty status.

There are some things that I vaguely know, but I don’t want to delve into it, for fear that the most holy place in my heart will also be defiled.

"Miss, look quickly! Today's boat race is about to start!"

Dong'er took my hand and screamed excitedly.

Following her gestures, she saw about five dragon boats floating on the water by the Fengming River. On each boat were four strong men with paddles in their hands, assuming they were ready to go.
