Story of the Forbidden Palace - C53
Today, I was bored, so I called Mei Duo to help me change into the casual clothes I usually wore at Shan Mansion. She then scattered her hair, leaving only the girl’s bun. Half of her black hair hung down from her waist, fluttering freely and happily in the wind.
He suddenly wanted to go to the lake as he was not sure about congealing. Unable to endure my repeated requests, I had to agree. Xiao Xingzi rowed a small boat and chose the most secluded Jade Ripple Pool in the palace for me to enjoy.
The small boat swayed back and forth as a Jade Pool slowly made its way towards the Green Jade Pool. There are only three people on the boat: Xiao Xingzi, Ning Zhi and I. It was rare to see a sunny afternoon like this. The golden rays of the sun scattered down, creating a feeling of intoxicating intoxication in the midst of the rippling light.
The gold orange color of the lake’s surface was sparkling, varying in depth. Along with the boat’s motion, it formed golden waves. He could hear the clear singing of the skylarks, as well as the clear gurgling of the wood pulp as it flew across the water.
Occasionally a few playful birds perched among the reeds, disturbing the low and high reeds gently swaying. Her smooth black hair brushed past her ears and emitted a faint fragrance, making her seem like a fairyland.
It had been a long time since he had a calm heart and was intoxicated by such a beautiful scenery. He still couldn’t help but feel that everything was like a mirage that could disappear in the blink of an eye. With this kind of worry, he couldn’t help but see enough.
When the sun moved to the west, the surface of the lake was covered with a thin chill. A breeze blew past, causing him to tremble. Still, I had no desire to go back.
However, she was extremely worried, “Young Mistress can’t take the cold anymore. It’s better to go back to the palace. ” I smiled bitterly. “I don’t have a good time for my body to recover. I’m used to being sickly like this all the time.”
Then he thought, “Why don’t you go back to the palace first and get some charcoal and food. There’s a lunchroom there. I’ll just wait there. ”
“How can we do that, if we leave the Young Mistress alone, what will happen?” Xiao Xingzi was extremely worried. Ning Zhi also agreed, “Yeah, I’m afraid if by chance …”
I shook my head. “It’s alright. Just leave me in that Moon Pavilion!” The two of them couldn’t argue with me, so they didn’t beat around the bush. After sending me to the Moon Pavilion, he turned around and returned to the palace.
Standing on the pavilion and gazing at the distant buildings and palaces, connected like a mountain, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Just how many hearts were imprisoned within this imperial city, yearning for freedom?
Remembering Yan Chi’s voice, he couldn’t help but hum a bit reminiscently, “It’s dark in the sky …” “Hei Hei …”
Suddenly, a voice rang out: “What song are you singing? It’s so nice, but so rare.” I jumped and looked around.
On the other hand, there was an elegant youth with bright eyes and a blue robe. He stood there facing the wind. The robe was embroidered with dragon scales. It was obviously the crown prince’s embellishment.
This youth looked to be in his teens, and his every move exuded an elegant aura. Could it be — the First Prince? The prince of similar age in the palace was the First Prince, Yun Xuan.
I just wondered why he didn’t bow down to me. The chance of her hair sticking to my cheek made me realize instantly. Today’s dressing was probably inappropriate.
Since it would be troublesome, he could only bend down in a straight posture.
“Don’t be afraid, I mean no harm. It’s just that your melody is especially melodious. ” He took a step back and clasped his hands together, “It was Yun Xuan’s fault that you disturbed my good mood. I hope Miss doesn’t blame me. ”
“I did not expect him to reveal his identity, but I found myself in a dilemma.” Thank you for your appreciation, First Prince. I’m afraid I have disgraced the First Prince’s hearing. ”
He smiled and took a step forward, “May I know your name, Miss? From the looks of it, she isn’t a servant of the palace? ” I was tongue-tied and didn’t know how to reply, but I heard someone call out from afar, “His Highness, the First Prince… “His Highness the First Prince …”
Yun Xuan immediately became a little embarrassed: “I still have to go to the Empress Mother Palace… If only he had been talking to the girl in detail the other day. ” As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant that he had brought with him, “This is just like a greeting gift for a lady.”
I hesitated and refused to accept it. However, Yun Xuan pressed it into my hands anxiously and firmly, “Miss, please keep it.” With that, he left.
