Chapter 2141: Chapter 1: An Unlucky Start
“Dear guard brother, please do a favor. It’s really too dull in the palace. I just want to take the servant girl out for a walk. I promise we won’t go far. Look, there’s no one else here. Just pretend you didn’t see us and let us go, okay? Please, okay?”
Looking at the princess acting so obsequiously, Lanlan’s jaw almost couldn’t stay shut. She truly wished she could find a hole to hide in, it was so humiliating.
However, such a humiliating request still did not move the other party. The little guard’s face remained cold, not even showing a hint of change, and his voice was icy to the extre.
“Please forgive , princess. As a palace guard, it’s my duty to take you back to the palace. I hope the princess won’t make it difficult for !”
Saying this, the little guard drew the sword in his hand and stood aside. The aning was obvious, he was asking Princess Cuiwei to return to the palace!
Cui Wei was really about to explode with anger. She had tried everything, soft and hard, and yet she could not get this little guard to relent.
“You, you, you! Is your heart made of stone? So iron-hearted! No matter what, I’m still a girl. I’ve been begging you so humbly, why can’t you compromise just this once? All I want is to go to the street and eat Lady Chang’s chestnuts! Do you have to make it so difficult for ? Fine, fine, you’ve stopped multiple tis just to spite , right? Isn’t that right!”
Princess Cuiwei was the legitimate princess born of the current Empress, and the first daughter of Your Majesty, naturally spoiled from childhood. Not only by servants, but even the consorts in the palace would have to squeeze out smiles to flatter her!
Yet the little guard in front of her simply wouldn’t give her a friendly face!
She had cursed, she had threatened, and now all she had left was a beauty trick.
But as a legitimate princess of the nation, Cui Wei couldn’t possibly seduce a re guard just to leave the palace, could she?
Besides, she was only thirteen this year, how could she do such a thing?
Cui Wei was infuriated and realized today there was no way she could sneak out of the palace. She no longer cared about dog holes or cat holes, stord off furiously.
Cui Wei left, but Lanlan couldn’t just leave like that!
She took a look at the cold guard, bit her lip, bowed respectfully and said, “Dear guard brother, my princess is childishly playful, but I can assure you, this definitely won’t happen again. Please do a favor and don’t report today’s matter to the Empress. The Empress loves her daughter dearly. If she learns of today’s matter, she will surely punish the princess. I hope you can sympathize, the servant would be eternally grateful.”
The little guard’s dark eyes flickered slightly, yet he remained expressionless as he coldly said, “Performing my duty, as long as the princess behaves herself and doesn’t stir up any other trouble, I won’t say anything.”
That ant agreent.
Lanlan was overjoyed, bowed again, thanked him, and hurried to chase the angry Cui Wei.
When the two figures were almost out of sight, the little guard finally glanced at that graceful figure.
And the dog hole at their feet…
The little guard shook his head. In the end, he didn’t manage it.
“Lanlan, do you think that little guard is sent by heaven specifically to annoy ? I used to sneak out of the palace often, but ever since I t this little guard, I’ve been caught twice! Twice! It’s a huge humiliation in my glorious history!”
In the bedchamber, Cui Wei ate an orange, chewing angrily, wishing the at she chewed was that little guard’s!
Lanlan was not as angry as her. Since returning to the bedchamber, she had asked Xiao Zhuzi to find out that, although the little guard didn’t seem very sympathetic, he kept his word and really didn’t report the matter to the Empress.
Now it was fine, the princess wouldn’t be scolded by the Empress, and she wouldn’t receive a spanking.
“Princess, no offense, but when the new year turns, you’ll be fourteen, reaching the age for discussing marriage. You really can’t sneak out to play like before.”
Lanlan cleaned off the white pith from the orange and handed the freshly peeled orange to Cui Wei.
