[Naruto] Stunning

It has been more than three months since Lixiang returned to Daming Mansion, and everything around her has returned to her familiar appearance, even the early summer scene when the water lilies are budding and the cicadas on the trees start to sing are exactly the same as in previous years.

Daimyo and Shizhimei conceived that their little daughter had suffered a lot and suffered a lot in the past few months, and they were so distressed that they wished to bring all the rare treasures in the world to her to make her happy.Even Xiude became more gentle and tolerant, and stopped being critical of his sister.

But the strange thing is that Lixiang never mentioned anything about the disappearance. She neither cried to her parents and brothers about how badly she had been treated, nor gave an order to burn down Dew Street as she had imagined countless times before.She never mentioned to anyone that she had been in Dew Street for nearly three months.

When Kakashi sent the ninja to convey the news to Daimyofu and Konoha, he only said that he found Princess Rika in Kitano Castle.As for whether he explained the truth to Hokage after he returned, Rika didn't know.As a ninja, absolute loyalty is more important than anything else.

Not to mention the majestic princess of a country, even if it is a girl from an ordinary family, she was once trafficked to Hualiu Street, and even when she came back, she was still clean and spotless. It's over.

Even though Lixiang is so strong that she doesn't seem afraid of any gossip, she is still an unmarried girl, and she is very strong.She also didn't want her parents and elder brothers to know that she had been in that dirty place for so long, although now that she thought about it, Kano Kikyo Yuriko and the others were not as abominable as they thought they were.

Li Xiang felt as if she had had an unimaginable dream.After waking up from the dream, she is still the number one lady of the Land of Fire held in the hands of everyone.

It seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that some important things have subtly changed unconsciously.Li Xiang was ignorant and couldn't speak clearly.

In the early summer night, the stars are shining brightly. Looking up in the backyard of Daming Mansion, you can see countless broken diamonds shining on a huge black curtain.

However, in Lixiang's eyes, it was still not as good as the starlight she saw on the roof of the farmhouse in the deep forest village that day.Even though the night was cold and windy, Lixiang didn't feel the coldness lingering in her memory.

——Even though the night is beautiful tonight, no one takes her to the roof to look at the stars.

Li Xiang sat on the edge of the wooden corridor at the junction of the main house and the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky.Ryoko walked lightly with her haori, bowed behind Rika and knelt down on the corridor: "It's cool in the early summer night, so it's better for Mrs. Rika not to catch a cold."

Li Xiang shook her head: "I'm not cold." After finishing speaking, she looked back at her, and said, "Don't wait for me, go down and rest." Although his tone was not gentle, it even carried a bit of arrogance .But Ryoko still felt her kindness.

Liangzi couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, and his eyes were full of emotion as he stared at Lixiang in a daze.

As one of the hundred maids chosen, Ryoko has been with Princess Rika who was just learning to walk since she was five years old.It can be said that Ryoko was raised entirely to take care of Rika.In the past ten years, everyone knew that the Princess of the Fire Country was not a good master to serve, but Liangzi had always been diligent and diligent, and never complained.

Growing up with Rika, she probably knows Rika better than Daimyo, Shijimi, and Hidetoku.

Li Xiang looked at her strangely: "What kind of eyes do you have?"

Liangzi smiled lightly, and sighed with emotion: "Master Lixiang, you have grown up, and you have begun to know how to be considerate of others."

Li Xiang was taken aback - she had heard this sentence before.It's just that the person she's talking to is different, and her feelings are completely different—at that time, she didn't think that she cared about the silver-haired young man because she had "grown up", but now, she actually agrees with Liangzi's statement.

What is the reason? - Rika thought seriously. "That's weird." She frowned, with a puzzled look on her face.

Ryoko also didn't understand her sudden confusion.

Li Xiang curled her lips as if giving up, and ordered: "I have to sit down for a while, you should step back."

Ryoko bowed his head and stepped back.

The night wind blows through the girl's long hair, and the "plop" sound of carp jumping out of the water and falling down occasionally comes from the pond in the courtyard.

The night is long, and now is only the beginning of the night.

"You must get what you like" - the principle that Lixiang has followed for more than ten years has not changed.When she first fell in love with that Konoha ninja, Rika tried her best to keep him by her side to play with her, but unfortunately the "like" at that time lasted only three months.

But now, Lixiang felt that she fell in love with that man again, but she didn't want to force him to stay by her side like before.Lixiang knew that he would not be happy to be bound like this - she didn't care whether he was happy or not before!

Lixiang was puzzled by this change in herself.

The wind blew the candlelight on the wall of the corridor flickering. The guard on duty dutifully inspected every corner of the mansion. He saw Li Xiang sitting on the edge of the corridor looking up at the night sky, saluted her and said hello, and then continued to the next inspection site.

Rika stopped one of the black-haired youths: "Asma."

Asma stopped and turned around.Li Xiang raised her chin to indicate to him the seat next to her: "Let's sit down and chat for a while."

The young man scratched his hair, looked quite embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Princess, I have a girlfriend in Konoha."

Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then rolled her eyes in an inelegant manner, and said angrily, "Are you afraid that I like you? Don't worry, I like good-looking people."

Asma: "...=_=#" I always feel that this sentence is not a good one.But he still sat down, keeping a distance of about one meter from Lixiang.

As a result, Rika didn't say anything for a long time. Just when Asma couldn't help but ask, the girl frowned and said softly with great reluctance: "Tell me about Hatake Kakashi." , all you know."

Asma was slightly surprised.

***

In June, it was the annual contest between Konoha Ninja and the guards of the Daimyofu.That day Lixiang got up much earlier than usual, and it took more than three hours to dress up.Especially when choosing clothes, several wardrobes were wide open, and people were dazzled by the gorgeous and expensive clothes. Li Xiang tried no less than twenty pieces before she was satisfied.

Ryoko hurried in and out directing the other maids, although she was surprised but didn't say anything. ——In the past, even though Li Xiang was picky in every possible way, she didn't pay as much attention to it as going to a blind date banquet today.

When combing her hair, Li Xiang asked hesitantly, "Does this pair of earrings look good enough with today's makeup?"

Ryoko stared at the reflection of the girl in the mirror—bright eyes and white teeth, snow-white skin, and delicate features like carved jade.Without waiting for the future, the princess she served has grown into a beautiful girl without knowing it.

The pearl earrings with dazzling luster also paled in front of her bright eyes.

Liangzi smiled, and sincerely admired: "Master Lixiang is already very beautiful."

Li Xiang blinked her eyes, she didn't know what suddenly came to her mind, her expression was a little sullen and she wasn't too happy.

Then Nu Nuzui said: "Forget it, let's go out."

Six or seven maids headed by Ryoko followed her to the practice field in the backyard.

Rika climbed up to the high stands, Daimyo and Hokage were already seated, and Xiude was also present to watch this year.The young heir to the monarch of the Kingdom of Fire sat upright with a solemn expression, and he could already vaguely see the demeanor of the future Mingjun.

Rika's position is next to Xiude, not next to the daimyo.The girl did not sit down directly, but stood up straight, looking around with a little confusion in her eyes, and then slightly frowned.

There are about a dozen Konoha ninjas in the training ground, most of whom Rika has met when she was in Konoha, such as Yuhihong, Moonlight Hayate, Tenzo and others.

But there was no one she wanted to see.

"You want to sit next to Father? Then I'll change the seat with you." Seeing that she didn't sit down for a long time, Xiude thought she was not satisfied with the seat, so he suggested.

Daimyo and Hokage also looked over together.Hiruzaru Sarutobi still smiled and said, "Long time no see, princess."

Li Xiang turned her head to look at him hesitantly, twitched her lips, but finally said nothing, just nodded and sat down.

It's not enough to sit down for a quarter of an hour...

In the practice field, Moonlight Galewind and Guardian Ninja Nanwu were fighting, and Lixiang was no longer here, pursing her lips irritably, and stood up abruptly.

Pearl earrings that reflected the sunlight swayed back and forth as she moved.

"It's so sunny, I want to go to a place with shade below."

The huge parasols on the stands completely shrouded the girl's body in shadow.

——It's completely nonsense.

Xiu De immediately lowered his face: "Stop messing around!"

Li Xiang ignored him and looked at her father pitifully with puffed up cheeks.

The unreliable daimyo waved a folding fan and said, "Rika can go wherever she wants."

Xiude argues: "How can you walk around at will before the competition is over? This is really disrespectful to Konoha's guests who came from afar!"

It was obvious that neither his father nor his sister thought otherwise.Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately smoothed things over and said, "Your Highness Xiude is serious. The Daming Mansion is the home of the princess, please don't worry about us, hehe."

Rika smiled at the daimyo who favored her and the kind and generous Hokage, then raised her chin and wrinkled her nose at her brother, then walked down the steps.

The skirt resembles swaying bright flowers.

She walked to Konoha Ninja who was waiting to play in the shade, and the ninjas who knew her greeted her one after another.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year. The princess is really getting more and more beautiful." Xi Hihong said with a smile.

"Thanks to your compliment, you are well-deserved No. [-] beauty in Konoha." —— It was impossible for Rika to say such a polite and tactful answer.In fact, she directly ignored the red-eyed beauty's compliment, and asked with an uncomfortable brow, "It's your turn this year?"

It was Tenzo who answered first: "Yes, it's really exciting to be able to fight against the elite guards of the Daming Mansion." The gentle and honest smile of the young man reminded Rika of how he was often "bullied" by a certain silver-haired ninja.

The girl was not satisfied with his answer, as if someone owed her tens of millions, her expression did not improve at all.

Yuhihong's eyes showed a smile: "Kakashi was also on the attendance list, but it's a pity he couldn't come back when he was out on a mission."

Li Xiang seemed to be poked at the heart, her delicate makeup couldn't hide the blush on her face, she stared angrily and said, "Who asked him!" After finishing speaking, she turned her footsteps, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked away in a hurry up.

Tianzang looked at her back and couldn't figure it out. When he turned his head, he saw Yuhihong smiling silently. The really innocent and honest young man asked, "Why is the princess so angry all of a sudden... What are you laughing at?"

Kurenu Yuhi still bent his mouth, looked at him and said, "How can you men understand girls' thoughts?" Then seeing the look in the eyes of Asma, one of the guardian ninja twelve guards, the smile suddenly disappeared, He gave him a sideways glance.

Asma was stared inexplicably.

Tianzang was even more confused.

Li Xiang walked to another courtyard far away from the training ground, sulking alone for reasons she didn't understand.She didn't bring a maid with her, but no matter how big the Daming Mansion was, she wouldn't get lost in her own home.

The design layout of Daming Mansion is indeed like a maze.

She won't get lost, but someone will.

At the corner of the corridor, Rika saw a person in the gazebo ahead who shouldn't be here. ——The man's silver hair seemed to feel good to the touch, his lazy fish eyes looked around the courtyard, and he muttered to himself without any haste: "Oops, I seem to have lost my way..."

His gaze was inadvertently shifted, facing the ambiguous gaze of the girl in the upper corridor, the young man calmly raised his right hand, and the only eye that was exposed was bent: "Okay, princess."

Rika sniffed, the air still smelled of dewdrops from the early morning.

Then for a moment, the girl thought—it would be better if the creature she liked was put in a cage and kept by her side, right?
