109~ The Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Runaway Imperial Consort (1)~
"So Your Highness, Your Highness, what do you plan to do today?"
Do what?
The little Princess thought briefly and gave her answer:
"Hide and seek."
"Eh eh? The one we played before?"
Little maid Xiyan imdiately recalled that not long after she ca to the Imperial Palace, the little Princess had pulled her to play a ga. This ga was precisely hide and seek. She still rembered it clearly even now!
After all, that was the first ga her Princess Mo played with her. Of course it left a deep impression.
However, it was just a pity that due to physical reasons, it wasn't suitable to search for her for long periods. So her Princess Mo could only be the hiding party.
"Right, that one."
The little Princess nodded.
"But this ti you hide and I'll seek."
"Eh eh? Is that okay?"
Does Princess Mo's stamina allow for long-term searching?
"Of course no problem. Just extend the search ti. The end ti will be set as... lunchti."
She knew what this little maid Xiyan was worried about. Conveniently extending the search ti would also give her more ti to go do things alone.
"Mm... but won't Your Highness be bored like this?"
Last ti the ti she searched was short enough not to be boring. This ti Princess Mo extended it several tis over. Dragging this frail body to search for her for an entire morning, is there really no problem?
"It's fine. If I can't hold on, I'll call you."
The little Princess reached out to stroke Xiyan's head.
"Mm... alright then."
Since Princess Mo already said so, then she'd just go along with Princess Mo's intentions.
"Before the ga ends, you're not allowed to co out, not allowed to actively reveal your location to , and absolutely not allowed to actively approach . You must hide properly, understand?"
"Okay, okay."
"Then let's begin."
Little maid Xiyan disappeared from sight in a flash. The little Princess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now the biggest obstacle was gone. She could finally set about her sches at ease.
After returning to the bedchamber to pack so things she might need, she slowly walked to the entrance connecting the inner and outer cities. As expected, the guards completely didn't dare stop her. However, a faint yet persistent pulling force kept preventing her from continuing toward the outer city.
This was the contract's effect, right?
"Xuan?"
"..."
Still like dead water, she got no response. The little Princess could only give up on the idea of having little loli Xuan help her temporarily shield the contract's influence.
Originally she'd wanted to waste a bit less material. Now it seed there was no choice.
"You, co here a mont."
The little Princess beckoned to a guard.
"Mm? May I ask if Princess Mo has any orders?"
"Can you control magic power?"
"Uh, a little bit."
"Hold this. Absorb the magic power inside, then release it toward ."
The little Princess casually tossed a precious magic crystal stone into the guard's hands, scaring him into thinking the little Princess wanted to use him for entertainnt or sothing. However, seeing the little Princess continuously staring at him, he could only comply.
This was the Imperial Consort of Her Majesty the Empress of the Scarlet Phoenix Nation. As a small gate elite guard, he absolutely didn't dare anger her.
The little Princess's hand casually gestured a few tis in the air. Now she could slightly sense the existence of magic power...
Little loli Xuan had told her before that it wasn't that she couldn't use magic power. The reason magic power disappeared as soon as it gathered in her body wasn't dissipation, but absorption. Absorbed to charge her up.
So the reason she couldn't use magic power since childhood was because she'd been serving as this little loli Xuan's power bank...
Fortunately, although now that Xuan was awake she still couldn't use magic power, as long as there was sufficient magic power nearby, operating it a little still wasn't a problem.
In the guard's eyes, the little Princess just inexplicably gestured a few tis in the air, then stepped out.
So what was the point of having him absorb the magic power inside and then release it toward Princess Mo...
"Hey, wait, Princess Mo, you forgot your things!"
"It's yours."
The little Princess waved, bidding farewell to the gate guard.
So this priceless magic crystal stone was just given to him like that?
Just like a damn dream!
...
"Mm~"
The little Princess stretched.
Just as she imagined, the outer city guards also didn't step forward to stop her upon seeing her. They directly let her pass. It had to be said, the identity of "Imperial Consort" the Empress gave was quite useful.
The Imperial Consort wandering around the city from ti to ti, this point seed to have already been tacitly accepted by the city's residents. So even if she was seen, she didn't need to worry her appearance would cause much commotion.
Next was to first find a place to hide.
The reason for not directly leaving the city was she didn't know whether the Empress currently knew she'd already grasped the contract's loophole and secretly slipped out. If she stayed in the city without going out, that was still fine. She could explain, then receive so punishnt and still enjoy a certain degree of freedom. If she went out, the Empress would definitely lock her in the bedchamber forever.
Moreover, if she went out directly now, she'd probably starve to death outside. The journey to Glaze Nation would take at least two or three days at the fastest. Like before when bringing troops with certain magic enhancents, it still took three or four days.
Thus, she patronized a clothing store.
"Welco... uh, greetings, Princess Mo!"
The shop clerk was slightly confused. She hadn't anticipated that Her Majesty the Empress's Imperial Consort would suddenly patronize this small shop.
"Give a set of low-key clothes. Not flashy. Best if they can make look completely ordinary."
"Huh?"
The shop clerk put down what was in her hands and examined the little Princess's appearance up and down. She really couldn't understand why the little Princess would make this kind of request. Normally shouldn't it be the more beautiful and eye-catching the better? Moreover, there were tailors in the Imperial Palace specifically making clothes for the royal family. Why would she co to her small shop!?
"What's wrong? Is there sothing on my face?"
"Nothing, nothing..."
She hurriedly apologized. Continuously staring at others was a very rude thing. Fortunately, Princess Mo didn't make things difficult for her...
"Um, please allow to presumptuously ask, what does Your Highness want these clothes for?"
"To play."
The little Princess casually answered.
Very good. This fit Princess Mo's image in her heart perfectly. Deliberately lowering her status to blend in among ordinary common people.
"Understood. I'll go make them for Your Highness right away..."
She didn't dare delay. She imdiately entered the small room in back.
The clothes in the shop were without exception all made to attract people's attention, opposite to the little Princess's desired goal of being low-key and not attracting attention. So she had to tailor them on the spot.
Fortunately, the difficulty of the requirents wasn't high. If it was just low-key and not attracting attention, she only needed to simply tailor a bit.
Before long, she brought the finished product before the little Princess to display.
