The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

After walking a few steps, they saw a blind old man selling flowers on the street. He seemed to have heard that King Liang was about to pass by, so he smiled and asked, "Sir, can you buy some flowers for your wife? I have all kinds of wild flowers here. You can take some of what you like."

It was the spring equinox, and the flowers on the stall were quite varied, some named and some not, and the fragrance was refreshing. He saw at a glance that the layers of pure white flowers were called magnolias, and he knew why his wife liked them so much, but because they were mixed with the fragrance of other kinds of flowers, they became a foil.

When the Zhangtou was about to drive him away, he saw King Liang seemingly casually going straight to the Yellow Gate and taking a handful of magnolia.

Zhangtou quickly changed his words and responded, "My stepmother likes flowers, so she must be happy that my stepfather gave her flowers."

King Liang glanced at the person on his back and threw him to the soldier beside him. He took a look and was in a good mood: "Buy all the wild flowers on this stall and give them to my wife to relieve her boredom."

The old man seemed very happy. He stretched out his fingers and counted with his eyes slanted, then said, "Take off the decimal point, and it's a total of one hundred yuan."

The deer was startled and glared at the old man fiercely, thinking that this was a warning for him to learn his lesson.

The old man's eyes were slanted motionless, as if he was waiting to be paid.

Zhangtou realized belatedly that he was a blind man, but he never carried much money with him, and today he did not bring any servants with him. In the past, as long as he said he was the adopted son of the King of Liang, he would not have to pay even if he brought servants with him. He could not help but feel ashamed and angry, blaming the old man for taking his money without knowing how to behave!

"I didn't expect that a man of eight feet tall doesn't even have a hundred dollars. If he didn't have it, I wouldn't sell it to you. We don't sell on credit here!" The old man waited for a long time but there was no sound of the money bag, so he said in a rather cold voice in the direction of the soldier holding the flowers.

This made them lose their sense of face. Although the people around were far away, they could hear it clearly. They looked over here and whispered to each other, but did not dare to point fingers.

Prince Liang looked back suddenly, bathed in the fragrance of flowers. The air seemed to freeze into an arrow. He asked coldly, "What's going on?"

A crowd of passers-by were busy returning to their normal routine, some walking, some buying things, for fear of being affected.

Under pressure from King Liang, Zhangtou hurriedly took out a bunch of copper coins, just enough, and gritted his teeth and whispered, "You old fool, shut up! You're lucky you don't know who we are!"

The old man snorted and didn't appreciate it: "No matter who you are, you have to abide by the rules of clearing the money and goods!"

Soon the stall was empty.

Seven or eight soldiers holding a bunch of flowers followed behind King Liang, and one of them carried an unconscious woman. They paraded through the city and then returned to the palace.

The old man lowered his brows and his eyes returned to their normal position in an instant. He looked at their receding backs, and his pupils gradually shrank.

-

When she woke up, there was candlelight, warm curtains and quilts. It was obvious that she was in a remote place. There was a dignified and elegant woman beside the bed, staring at her without blinking.

Li Xi sat up in shock. She still remembered who had carried her away. Now she was on the bed, with her clothes intact and neatly arranged. She couldn't believe it...

"Are you awake?" the woman in front of her asked her with concern.

She looked at him intently. The beautiful woman had a gentle smile on her lips, and her clothes and headdress were also luxurious.

"Who are you?" She tried to appear calm.

If my guess is correct, she must be the hostess of this place. Perhaps the fact that she can lie here intact has something to do with her.

The woman smiled softly, and used a handkerchief to stop herself from coughing several times. The maid beside her handed her some water, and she drank it slowly and softly, "I am the mistress of this place."

Li Xixuan frowned slightly, as she expected that it was the wife of the King of Liang. But she didn't know that the wife of the King of Liang was such a weak and indifferent woman, and she didn't expect that she could be so calm and not arrogant towards the woman her husband brought back.

Therefore, Li Xiying guessed that she must not have come because she regarded her as an external threat.

Her next words further confirmed this.

"Judging from your appearance and temperament, you must not be the daughter of an ordinary family. That's great. You are so young and have a bright future ahead of you."

This really caught Li Xixi off guard.

She looked kind and friendly, as if she was not interested in the world, but her expression dimmed for a moment before disappearing. I couldn't figure out what she wanted to say, so I didn't have time to say anything for a while.

She continued, "My husband is impatient. He doesn't know that women should pay attention to the procedures of wedding ceremonies. He doesn't know that marrying a concubine should also choose an auspicious day, a good time, and wear wedding clothes... I am not in good health and often cannot serve my husband. My husband loves me and has brought back some women to serve me. But he thought of the kindness between husband and wife and those women had no status. Xu you are different. I see that you are the wife of a good family, so I would like to ask my husband to marry you as a concubine and replace me..."

Although Zhang's words seemed to be from the heart, they were vaguely inquiring, and not a single word was idle talk. She must have understood her husband, so these words might be a test of her, or they might be positive persuasion.

Li Xiying interrupted her: "Madam, you misunderstood. I didn't volunteer to be a concubine. I guess your mansion is the Liang Wang's mansion, and you are the Liang Wang's wife. I was forced to come here and just wanted to leave. I didn't want to be a concubine in the mansion. If you can help me, I will be very grateful."

Zhang Hui raised her eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised to see her sincerity. She repeated the word "forced" in her mouth. She never thought that she was really abducted as others said.

But he generally wouldn't kidnap people randomly. The last time it was the wife of a prisoner of war, and the time before that was the same. I have never heard that he would extend his hands to a young lady from an innocent family.

"If you can help me leave, I will definitely repay you!" Li Xiying got off the bed and held her hand. "I was forced to come here. I had no choice. Your husband brought people to block us from the front and back. How can a weak woman like me fight against four hands? It would be great if you could help me."

Madam Liang sighed, "So that's the case. I apologize to you on behalf of my husband." Without waiting for Li Xiying to speak, she continued, "He is holding a banquet right now, and will leave Chang'an tomorrow to go to the war. I am too weak to travel, so I guess he wants to take me with him this time?"

The military camp was full of men, and if a woman went there without a formal status, she would be easily humiliated.

She said it politely, but the seriousness is self-evident.

"What should I do? I'll leave now!" Li Xiying was stunned. She looked outside the window and saw soldiers guarding it. She was afraid that not even a mouse could escape.

"I thought you were willing, so I wanted to give you a status, but I never thought you were unwilling. But it doesn't matter. If you want to leave, I have a way." She said softly.

Li Xiying was in no mood to wait. As soon as he opened the door, two soldiers on both sides blocked his way with spears.

Madam ordered the maid to close the door and said, "Even if it were me, I couldn't let you go now. The soldiers at the door are new and don't obey my orders. And my husband is in high spirits now, and there are many guests at the banquet. I can't refuse him, so you can cooperate with me."

The candlelight flickered, just like Li Xiying's restless heart at the moment. She didn't want to stay any longer, but she could only listen to her for the time being.

After hearing this, Li Xiying nodded. This was the only way.

Zhang Hui ordered the maid to take off her clothes. "Time is short. If you don't mind, Princess, you can temporarily wear my clothes. I will have someone take you out."

Li Xixiao took the clothes, put them on, and adjusted her hair style.

"I still don't know whose child you are?" Mrs. Liang asked her affectionately, like an elder to a younger generation, as she was sorting her clothes.

But she was more puzzled as to why her husband captured civilian daughters who were not prisoners of war for no reason to fill the inner courtyard.

Li Xiying felt that there was nothing to hide. The King of Liang already knew what he should know, otherwise he would not have troubled her. His wife should not be kept in the dark, so she said seriously, "I am the daughter of the current Emperor of Tang, named Tang Xing, and I have established a residence in Luoyang. I was summoned to Chang'an this time."

Zhang's hands froze, her face turned pale with shock, "Your Highness... Princess?"
