The next day.
In the imperial garden, several younger palace maids and c0ncubines were playing Cuju with the little princess.
A small ball was kicked back and forth among them. The atmosphere was quite good at the moment. The exquisitely dressed girls were chasing the ball and laughing like silver bells.
Among them, a slightly tall girl was the one who laughed the happiest.
The girl had black hair tied into two lively and cute buns. Under her bangs were a pair of lively almond-shaped eyes. She was cunningly following the ball, with a sweet smile on her slightly chubby face.
She has delicate features, and it is not difficult to see that she will be a stunning beauty in the future.
But if you pay attention, you can find that the playmates next to her are always intentionally passing the ball to her, and those who get the ball kick it to her as fast as if they got a bomb, allowing her to have a great time.
After a while, she had a thin layer of sweat on her head and her cheeks were covered with broken hair. She was probably tired from playing, so she put her hands on her waist and took a breath, then waved to her other playmates, "No more playing."
The person who was playing with her suddenly stopped where he was, put away his smile, and dared not move.
The palace maid watching nearby kindly came forward and brought a cup of tea.
She took a sip from the maid's hand, and spat it out on the ground before she could swallow it. She turned around with a changed expression, kicked the maid's calf, and knocked her to the ground, "Idiot, do you want to scald me to death?"
Originally, she wanted to please the little princess, but her good intentions led to bad results. The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud, and the teacup broke into pieces. "Please spare my life, little princess, spare my life. It's my fault that I don't know how to do things. I'll slap myself in the face."
After saying that, she started slapping herself.
Seeing the little princess's expression change so quickly, the palace maids and c0ncubines who had been playing Cuju with her just now did not dare to breathe and waited quietly for the little princess's decision.
They knew the temper of this master, whose personality was always changeable. When she was unhappy, the number of palace maids killed by her could fill up the back well of the Xinzheku. She was a real tyrant.
Unfortunately, this master is so spoiled by the emperor that he is lawless and no one in the palace dares to mess with him.
The little palace maid, who had just been pretty, now had a swollen face but she did not dare to stop.
The little princess was upset and kicked her away, "Go away, go away, don't ruin my mood here, it's so ugly."
The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground ran away tumbling as if she had been pardoned.
The little princess glanced at the palace maids around her who were huddled like quails, and immediately lost most of her interest in playing. Her sharp eyes swept among them, as if she was thinking of which one to vent her anger on.
At this moment, the ball that they had just kicked around rolled pitifully to her feet.
This time the ball hit the entrance of the wooden warehouse. The little princess raised her foot angrily, and the ball flew straight out and disappeared in an instant.
A little maid stepped forward tremblingly, "Your Highness the Tenth Princess... do you need me to fetch the ball?"
The Tenth Princess looked at them and said coldly, "No need. I will go find him myself. You just wait here for me to come back."
"This..." They looked at each other.
The Tenth Princess's face turned cold again. "What? You dare not listen to me?"
There was a crash, and everyone knelt down again.
She rolled her eyes and ran towards where the ball flew.
After she left, several palace maids collapsed to the ground. The other c0ncubines were also frightened, but they were slightly better than the palace maids and still had the mind to chat.
"I was really scared when the little princess got angry just now. It was all your idea. You said that you would soar to the sky if you hooked up with the little princess, and you insisted on coming to play with the little princess."
"Hey, why do you blame me for everything? If you have the guts, don't come. I was also scared."
"You guys come next time. I won't come again. I don't dare to mess with this evil star."
"You dare to say that the emperor's most beloved princess is an evil star, do you want to die?"
......
Emily Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting away from that large group of people.
She was used to seeing these flattering faces in the palace. She would be scared as soon as she was dissatisfied with them. They were really a bunch of useless trash.
If it were any other time, she would still find it fun to tease them, but after watching it for too long, she would get a little bored. So this time, she found an excuse to run out alone, and finally had some peace and quiet.
But she knew that she couldn't run away for too long. If she couldn't be found, the palace would be in chaos.
After she ran out of the palace wall of the Imperial Garden, she looked around along the path and met many eunuchs and palace maids along the way, but she didn't know where the ball had gone.
She didn't realize that she was getting further and further away, and by the time she realized she was lost, there was no one around her.
Although she was much more mature than most people, she was still just a ten-year-old girl. As it was getting dark, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
After passing through a bamboo forest, she was completely lost and could only rely on her sense of direction to reach a courtyard.
She had never been here before, nor had she heard anyone mention it. She simply couldn't imagine that there was such a small courtyard in the place where she had lived for so long.
Looking in from outside the fence, you can see that there are people living here.
Just as she was about to shout for help, she heard a clear voice from behind her, "Is this yours?"
The little princess turned her head warily and saw a handsome young man in white standing behind her, holding the ball she had lost in his hand.
The young man appeared in this deserted bamboo forest, like a god descending to the earth, with a smile on his lips, like peach blossoms in March, the first sun breaking through the clouds, and looking at her with curved eyes.
Except for her brothers, no one had ever seen such a handsome young man, and the usually hard-hearted little princess blushed with shame.
However, this person was also a stubborn person. His ears were red, but he still asked with all his might, "Who are you? Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
After saying this, she felt a little annoyed, fearing that the young man in front of her would think she was spoiled and get angry with her, and then blame herself for having a bad temper.
However, the young man in front of her didn't seem to care. He walked up a few steps and handed her the ball. Then he pointed to the bamboo forest behind her and said, "Go along this path until you reach the end, then turn left. You will reach the back door of the Imperial Garden."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the yard without even looking at her.
This was the first time the little princess had been treated so coldly. She felt inexplicably aggrieved holding the ball in her hand.
She threw the ball hard on the ground, jumped up in anger, and shouted at the boy's back, "What kind of attitude is this? Believe it or not, I will kill you. I am the tenth princess! The most favored tenth princess!!!"
The young man turned his back to her and waved his hand, "Someone must be waiting for you in the Imperial Garden. Go back quickly. This is not a place for a person as rich as you to be."
Emily was stunned. This was the first time that someone knew her identity and dared to act so recklessly.
But while she was stunned, she had a rebellious mentality again. She picked up the dirty ball on the ground, took a few steps forward and squeezed into his yard.
Humph, you asked me to go back, but I won’t.
The young man turned around helplessly, "Princess, what do you mean?"
Seeing that the boy was finally willing to look at her straight in the face, Emily raised her chin proudly, "This entire palace is my home. I can go wherever I want. Is it your business?"
While the two were arguing, a little girl ran over and asked, "Your Highness, you are finally back. Where have you been?"
She stared blankly at the little girl who looked extremely precious and asked stutteringly, "Your Highness, who... who is this..."
She seldom went out and had been guarding this small courtyard for a long time. She had never seen any prince other than Victor, but looking at the girl's dress, she vaguely guessed something.
Victor sighed, "This is Her Royal Highness the Tenth Princess."
"Ah?" Lily stared at her own Sixth Prince with her mouth wide open in a daze. It took her a long time to react and she fell to her knees with a thud.
"Greetings to the Tenth Princess. I am a blind servant. Please...Please forgive me, Tenth Princess."
After saying this, she tried her best to make eye contact with her master who was standing blankly beside her, until her eyelids were twitching.
Oh my God, this is the Tenth Princess, the one to whom the Emperor would bring mountains of gold and silver as long as she gave the order. How could this evil star appear here?
The Tenth Princess had never felt so comfortable having someone kneel down on her as she did now.
The corners of her mouth were raised to the sky with pride, and she looked at Victor with sparkling eyes. Look, I'm very powerful. Are you scared? I told you to ignore me.
Victor didn't notice her expression at all. Instead, he looked at Lily who was kneeling on the ground with a distorted expression. "Lily, the Tenth Princess is lost. Please send her back."
Lily said "Oh" stupidly. She always listened to Victor. At this moment, she subconsciously stood up and wanted to walk to the Tenth Princess. When she realized that it was not the Tenth Princess who asked her to stand up, she was so scared that she knelt down quickly.
She crawled to the Tenth Princess' feet tremblingly, "Your Highness, Tenth Princess, let Lily take you back."
The tenth princess was almost mad with anger.
She caught up with the man who was trying to enter the house, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "Stop."
Victor turned around and looked at the Tenth Princess holding his sleeve tightly. He raised his eyes in confusion, "Tenth Princess, is there anything else?"
Emily was stunned.
She really didn't have anything to do, but she felt that she couldn't just let him go, so she was racking her brains to think of an excuse.
After a long while, she stammered, "I'm scared. I want you to take me back in person."
After saying this, her face turned red with embarrassment.
What is the difference between this sentence and acting coquettishly?
In her life, the Tenth Princess had never acted coquettishly with any other man except her father and her brother.
Unexpectedly, the young man smiled helplessly when he heard her words, raised his hand to rub her hair, and coaxed her in a soft voice, "I have something else to do, you just follow Lily back obediently, okay?"
Lily was stunned by her own audacious master. She looked at the silent Tenth Princess tremblingly, and had already thought about how she and her master would die if the princess got angry.
After she had already thought about her affairs after death, the Tenth Princess seemed to have just realized it.
But she was not as furious as Lily had imagined. She just blinked and said "oh" dryly, and nothing else happened.
Turning around, Emily glanced coldly at Lan Er who was kneeling on the ground, "Hey, why don't you lead the way quickly?"
Lily's legs were weak and she finally got up, limping behind the Tenth Princess.
When Lily brought the Tenth Princess out of the bamboo forest and saw the palace maid who was looking for the Tenth Princess, she came back in a trance like a wandering ghost.
This day was so thrilling. She was used to living a Buddhist life with Victor, and this was the first time she encountered such a thing.
In a similar situation to her is the Tenth Princess.
Emily returned to her palace, ate dinner like a lost soul, took a bath like a lost soul, and was absent-minded in everything she did afterwards.
When it was midnight and time to rest, all the eunuchs and palace maids were sent away, leaving her alone in the palace. She then dived into the quilt.
When he raised his head again, his face was already red.
Ahhhhhh she was touched on the head!!!!!
