Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

——Outside the Jingguo Palace

"Your Highness, the keys to the palace have been locked." The guards guarding the palace said respectfully.

"You bold servant! This princess has something to ask the emperor, why don't you get out of the way immediately?" The second princess scolded in a delicate voice.

"Please forgive me, Second Princess. Please come back early tomorrow morning. The palace has been locked and no one is allowed to enter or leave. This is the rule, and we dare not break the rule." The guard said with embarrassment.

"You are a bunch of bullies! I am going in today, let's see who dares to stop me!" The second princess cursed while trying to force her way into the palace.

The guards looked at each other and secretly complained. They knew that the second princess of Yue State had always been willful and domineering, but they could not let her go easily at this moment.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a deep voice came from a distance: "Second Princess, it's so late, how can you make a scene outside the palace gate?"

Hearing this voice, the second princess and the guards stopped and turned to look. They saw a tall, mighty, and stern-looking man slowly approaching. He was wearing a gorgeous black robe, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind, which made him look very imposing.

"King Cang, why are you here when you are not drinking in the arms of a beautiful woman?" The second princess said unhappily with a gloomy face when she saw the person coming. There was a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Second Princess, I was drunk." King Cang smiled slightly, walked in front of the Second Princess, and looked down at her. His eyes were deep and charming, but revealed a kind of indifference and ruthlessness.

"Are you drunk? Those concubines are not fake!" The second princess stared at King Cang, her eyes flashing with anger. She couldn't accept King Cang's favor for other women, and her heart was full of jealousy.

"Princess, this is all a misunderstanding!" King Cang hurriedly explained, his face full of anxiety.

"Prince Cang, the Japanese princess has been inviting you to meet up every day in recent days, and you agreed. Now I know that you have so many concubines in your house!" The second princess frowned, her tone filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

"Princess, this is all due to my youthful recklessness." King Cang said with a bitter face.

"Hmph, King Cang, don't try to quibble! I'm not a three-year-old child, how could I easily believe what you say?" The second princess sneered.

"Princess, it is absolutely true! If I knew about this, I would never let you suffer such an injustice. I hope that Princess will not bear grudges and forgive me this time." King Cang said sincerely.

"Princess, the imperial decree has been issued, and you must not joke!" King Cang suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "In two days, someone from Yue will be coming. I wonder who from Yue will be..."

The second princess was moved when she heard this. She knew that this marriage was of great importance and she could not lose the big picture because of a small one. So she pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Well, if that's the case, I will not pursue this matter any further. But I hope that King Cang will not disappoint me again in the future."

King Cang nodded as if relieved, and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Princess! I will definitely keep it in mind."

"Let's go, Princess. I'll take you back to the post station." King Cang said respectfully, with a hint of tenderness and concern in his eyes. He knew that the second princess was of noble status and should not be offended easily.

However, the second princess smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Today I want to stay at your house, do you have a place to stay?" Her voice was firm and unyielding.

Prince Cang was slightly startled, but soon regained his composure: "Yes, yes, yes. Princess, please get in the carriage." He quickly responded and signaled the driver to drive the carriage over. At the same time, he secretly whispered a few words to the guards around him, asking them to quickly arrange for the concubines of Prince Cang's mansion to gather in one courtyard to live, so as to avoid being seen by the princess and causing unnecessary trouble.

Prince Cang muttered to himself, wondering what the Second Princess meant by suddenly wanting to live in his house. But he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only smile cautiously, hoping to get through this period smoothly.

The carriage slowly drove towards Prince Cang's mansion. Along the way, Prince Cang silently thought about how to deal with this willful princess. The second princess sat in the carriage with a faint smile on her face, as if she was looking forward to what was to come.

Arriving at Prince Cang's mansion, the second princess, under the guidance of Prince Cang, moved into the wing room specially prepared for her. However, the second princess did not rest, but asked the maid to change into a light set of clothes and quietly left the room.

She avoided the guards of the palace and came to the garden in the backyard. There was a rockery in the garden. The second princess climbed up the rockery flexibly and observed the movements around her. Her eyes finally fell on a small building not far away.

That small building was the study of King Cang, and it was brightly lit at the moment. The Second Princess raised her lips slightly, and lightly jumped, like a light butterfly, landing silently on the roof of the study.

She lifted a tile and looked into the house through the gap. She saw King Cang standing in front of the desk, talking with a man in black. The second princess held her breath and listened carefully to their conversation.

"Your Highness, King Xuan has disappeared since King Kang ascended the throne in Qing State." The man in black stood respectfully aside and reported the latest news to King Cang.

King Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "No hurry, he is still waiting for the opportunity."

He knew King Xuan's character and ambition very well, and he would not easily give up his pursuit of power. Although things seemed calm on the surface, there must be turbulent waves in secret.

King Cang sneered, as if he saw through everything: "I want to see how long he can endure."

The man in black bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will continue to pay attention to the movements of the country and report immediately if there is any movement."

King Cang nodded and waved his hand to signal the men in black to leave. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance in deep thought.

The current situation is complex and changeable, and all parties are competing secretly. King Cang also has his own plans and calculations in his mind. He must always be vigilant to deal with possible crises.

At this time, the second princess heard a slight sound of footsteps. Her heart tightened and she quickly hid under the eaves.

She was a graceful and charming woman. She said in a coquettish voice, "My Lord, why did you arrange for me and my sisters to live in the same courtyard? This place is too crowded~"

King Cang frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Why did you suddenly come here? Aren't you worried about being seen by the princess?"

The charming concubine blinked her big watery eyes, with a puzzled look on her face, "Princess? Why is she in the palace? Does that mean the princess is really going to live in the palace?"

King Cang quickly stretched out a finger and gently pressed it on the concubine's tender lips, signaling her to be quiet. His other hand tightly embraced the concubine's slender waist.

The concubine's eyes were rolling, she twisted her body in a charming way, and said coquettishly: "Prince~"

King Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a wicked smile, and then he slapped his palm hard, landing heavily on the concubine's round buttocks, making a crisp sound.
