The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Soon it was late at night, when everything was quiet and everyone was asleep. Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Although it was late at night, the scenery under the moonlight was still beautiful, no worse than the scenery during the day.

Li Xi opened the door bolt and quietly walked out of the room.

Logically, she was very tired and should have fallen asleep on the soft bed as soon as her pillow touched her head. However, she had to leave the manor again tomorrow. Thinking of this, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep after she went to bed. So she decided to revisit her manor.

A few years ago, my grandfather bought the villa and gave it to her, naming it Muyan Villa, which means that the villa is like a wooden goose.

Real wild geese can deliver letters and communicate with each other even if they are thousands of miles apart; but the wood-carved geese convey letters in her heart. This letter does not contain a single word, but it is the place that will accompany her as she grows up, as she starts a family, and as she fulfills her beliefs.

So she cherishes this village very much. She can feel the warmth of every tree and blade of grass here, and she can always be free and unrestrained.

When she was young, her grandfather was busy with government affairs all day long, and she stayed in the harem all day long like the other princes and princesses. There was no human warmth, and she could only watch everyone hustling and deceiving each other, without any pleasure at all.

So once he settled down in Muyan Villa, he was unwilling to go to the cold palace in Chang'an again.

But she had no control over all this. She lost her mother when she was young, and now even her grandfather was separated from her because of a traitor. She was filled with grief and anger, and if she didn't vent this grief and anger, she wouldn't be able to live...

She walked through the lotus pond, crossed the arch bridge, wandered through the flower garden, and passed by every corner of the corridor...

Without the chattering maids to accompany me, walking alone in a secluded path listening to the buzzing of grasshoppers, I couldn't help feeling lonely and bored.

So he finally stopped when he reached the pavilion, looked up with red eyes, and admired the bright moon in the sky.

The pavilion was facing a side room, and she had just seen that there was still a candlelight in that room.

Now taking a closer look, a tall figure was reflected on the door, and Long Qi was actually looking at her through the window.

It's so late, why hasn't he slept yet?

Long Qi had already seen Li Xiying wandering around the village. Just now, she walked to the pavilion and looked at the moon, bathing in the bright light like a banished fairy gathering snow under the moon.

Looking to the east, Li Xiying's courtyard was pitch black. He must have been sneaking around without disturbing the servants.

He also walked to the steps of the pavilion, looked at her and said, "So you like to wander around at night?"

Li Xixiao watched him walk to the pavilion and came into view, so she said, "You haven't slept either, and you were inspired by me to come out for a walk?"

"That's true. I just saw that you were bored and lonely. Why don't we enjoy the moon together?" He walked up the stairs with the stars in his eyes.

"Why can't I sleep?" She looked at the moonlight and asked him slowly, or perhaps she asked herself...

He said slowly, "Tomorrow we will go to the chess shop owned by Silang to look for him, but Silang didn't tell us where his shop is located. There are so many chess shops in Luoyang, it may not be easy to find him. But if we can really find him, it will be easy, and probably the other brothers will find him too."

"Do you need my help?" Li Xixiao looked up at him. If he needed more manpower, there were still some men in the village who could help find them.

He shook his head and chuckled: "I was still wondering, do you need my help?"

Li Xi's eyes dodged as she said, "I don't need your help even more. Since you have your work to do and I have mine to do, we can just do our own things. If anyone has any difficulties, it won't be too late to ask for help from each other then."

After saying that, she covered her lips and yawned.

"I'm tired after walking around for so long. I'm going to go back to sleep first." As she said this, she lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs, thinking of going back to her room to sleep.

Long Qi turned around and looked at her back and said, "You want revenge, right?"

Li Xi's steps paused, he turned his head to look at him, and lowered his voice and said, "How can it be so easy to accomplish something in this world? When I really put the knife to Zhu Ze's neck, it would be more appropriate for you to ask me this question again."

"Wouldn't it be stupid for me to still ask this question at that time?" Long Qi's eyes were smiling as he looked down at her, as if he had guessed all her thoughts without revealing them.

He spoke again in a low voice: "You asked Qiao Xian for two human skin masks. The two masks look different, so you did this naturally. If you want to hide your identity and sneak into the palace, you should have your own way, or it should be easy for you."

Li Xiying seemed to have reacted vaguely, and walked closer, staring into his eyes as dark as ink, and guessed after a long while: "You said so much, do you also want to sneak into the palace and avenge the prime minister? Or, you can't enter the palace, and you want me to avenge you?"

He shook his head and looked down into her eyes. "Although the Prime Minister is my uncle, he will eventually have to bear the consequences of his actions. Whether this court dispute affects my relatives and family is my bottom line. My aunt is still alive, and my brothers are still alive. It is enough. I don't want to get involved in the royal dispute..."

Then he said slowly: "But I am willing to help you."

Li Xi was slightly surprised, then smiled softly and waved her hand, saying, "Farewell, since you don't want to get involved in this dispute, don't abandon your principles to help me. Besides, you can't help me."

After saying this, she turned around, letting him admire the night view of the pavilion, and left back to the courtyard.

Watching Li Xiying's graceful departure, a faint smile gradually appeared on his face. Perhaps one day he would be able to touch this easily dispersible cloud.

He raised his eyes to look at the moonlight tonight. After all, today's moon is still not round enough. When the moon is full, it will be more fascinating to appreciate the moon.

Li Xixiao walked farther and farther away from the pavilion until he entered the room. His frowning brows never relaxed, and he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day.

After Li Xixiao got up and washed, she sent the other maids away to do their work and left to talk to her grandma.

"Grandma, I need to put on the mask now. You need to give me some rough brown clothes later. I have to leave soon."

Grandma was shocked when she heard this. "Why does the princess want coarse clothes? Are you trying to pretend to be... a commoner?"

"Yes." Li Xiying said disapprovingly while applying glue in front of the mirror.

"How can the princess enter the palace disguised as a commoner? If she enters the palace, won't she be a maid? How can a princess with her delicate body serve others?" Grandma thought the princess had a better way to enter the palace. She tossed and turned at night, but couldn't think of any good idea. Today, she found out that it was this method.

"Princess, you have never done the job of a servant. You will be beaten and scolded at any time in the palace. You'd better not go. Besides, the Prime Minister is not someone you can easily mess with. I'm afraid you won't be able to come back if you go!" As she said this, grandma grabbed her skirt and begged.

"My younger brother was forced to ascend the throne at a young age. The thief Zhu held the emperor hostage to control the princes. What he wants is obvious. And this time I go, I can conceal my identity and do what I want. What does a little hardship matter?" There is no doubt about what Li Xiqi said.

"Besides, there are no identity restrictions for refugees, and no household registration information requirements. All they have to do is go. If it were in the past, this would have been absolutely impossible!"

She frowned, "Didn't I make this clear with grandma yesterday? Don't think too much about it. We are in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, not Chang'an. I will find my own way!"

As she spoke, she also put on the mask firmly, leaned forward slightly, and said in Luoyang dialect: "Look, my name is Li Qing, I will definitely overthrow and eradicate the weeds!"

Grandma was startled and seemed like a different person. Even she was in a daze for a moment.
