The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chu Yiyi nodded and smiled: "How can I not get used to it? They knew I was the princess' friend, so they immediately put me in the best room, and everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation was excellent."

"You'll get used to it." Then she told grandma, "Grandma, remember to prepare some food later. I feel a little hungry."

Grandma smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. We are ready to welcome you every day. We also prepare all kinds of fresh food every day. I will have someone prepare it right away!"

Grandma gave a little compliment and said to Long Qi, "There are many houses, and they are cleaned every day. I will ask the servants to tidy them up again later. My dear, please follow me."

If this young man follows her any further, he will have to enter the princess's own courtyard. As a servant, she has to consider the princess and arrange the guests properly.

Long Qi looked at Li Xiying's receding back and suddenly felt that she was like a cloud, which seemed to be increasingly difficult to reach, and his eyes could not help but become dim.

Grandma called her husband again.

He readily followed his grandmother's advice.

……

Li Xiying took Chu Yiyi back to her room. It was exactly the same as when she left. The air was filled with her favorite incense, and even the quilt was clean. There was not a speck of dust anywhere, and it was obvious that someone was diligent in cleaning it every day.

She closed the door and immediately removed the relaxed look from her face.

Everything in the village was the same as usual, but everything outside had changed completely.

On the way back, she saw refugees from Chang'an. They were forced to move to the Eastern Capital. They had no place to live, and had to sleep in the open air and beg for food...

Almost half of the palace maids who came with the capital were unwilling to move, so they took advantage of the chaos to flee back to their hometowns, resulting in a shortage of servants in the palace.

Along the way, I also heard that some officials directly went to the people to forcibly select women, or even directly brought young and beautiful refugees into the palace, where they could start working after a few months of training.

Therefore, Li Xiying also had some plans in mind...

There were also some rumors that reached his ears at the same time. A few days ago, when the late emperor was buried with all the officials present, Zhu Wen threw himself in front of the coffin and cried bitterly, denouncing his adopted son for the crime of regicide and deserving death. Then, without hesitation, he personally executed his adopted son in front of the coffin for the crime of regicide.

Li Xixuan couldn't help but sneer. He was just doing this to hide his motives and save his non-existent reputation.

Zhu Wen then quickly supported the twelve-year-old prince to be emperor, and appointed himself as prime minister, giving him the highest rights and interests. It was no longer uncommon for him to wear a sword and shoes to court.

The person in power now is Li Zuo'adie, the ninth prince. After he came to power, Zhu Wen changed his name to Li Yu and made him a puppet without any real power. Zhu Wen was close to the throne at this point. He was truly second to none and wanted to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes.

How could she not know what Zhu Wen's beastly intentions were? If her brother ever grew old enough to take power, his life would probably be in danger!

"Princess?" Chu Yiyi looked at Li Xiying who was in a trance, "Why did Qi Langjun come back with you?"

If he was escorting the princess back to Luoyang, he shouldn't have to clean up a room to stay in.

Li Xiqi came back to his senses and said, "Several young men from the Prime Minister's Mansion survived the massacre. Young Master Qi is going to find them and tell them that the Prime Minister's wife is still alive."

Chu Yiyi was slightly stunned, "Are they all alive too?"

"Yes, the Prime Minister's wife told me the news." Li Xiying said truthfully.

Chu Yiyi fell into deep thought. At that time, she saw that Madam Xiang was seriously injured in Yanqi Village and needed to rest, so she did not talk to her in depth.

But at that time, the prime minister's wife held her hand and asked her where she had been during that period of time, and why she was now in Yanqi Village? She also said that Sanlang had been looking for her all day, thinking that something had happened to her, but before he could send someone to ask the family father whether she had returned home, something happened.

She didn't want to tell the prime minister's wife that she had been kidnapped, so she just made up an excuse and asked her to mourn and accept the change. She herself cried and was sad for a long time.

When she heard the news today that Sanlang and several other men were alive, she was indescribably happy, and her eyes were red with joy unconsciously.

"I heard from the prime minister's wife that the eldest son is dead, and his wife and children were not spared either." Li Xiying said truthfully.

It is hard not to sigh about Yishi's life. She was pregnant before her death. Her husband often used the excuse of being busy with official business and often stayed out all night to have sex with other people. Even if he kept a famous prostitute, he had to cover it up in front of his family. Yishi respected her husband and raised her children all her life. She was virtuous and never touched her husband's reverse scale. But when her husband happened to stay in the mansion, they encountered a massacre and were really together forever.

Chu Yiyi observed a moment of silence for this.

"Madam Chu, do you have any plans for the future?" Li Xiying suddenly changed the subject and asked with concern.

"Logically, I should have gone home, but I didn't know how to face my family and the future, so I wrote a letter back to report my safety. They replied that they heard about the incident in the Prime Minister's Mansion and agreed that I could calm down for a while before going back." The corners of her lips slowly opened a little arc, "So I need to bother the princess for a while longer."

Li Xiying smiled back, "You can stay as long as you want. I'm not trying to drive you away. There are plenty of rooms here. It's enough for dozens more young ladies."

"Whenever you want to go home, you must not leave without saying goodbye. If you don't send someone close to you to take you home, I won't feel at ease."

"Thank you so much, Princess." Chu Yiyi's gratitude was beyond words, but she felt mixed emotions. "Actually, I'm also afraid to go back. I've already passed the age of marriage and should get married. If my parents marry me off, I don't know how I'll get over it."

After being kidnapped by thieves, she had thought about becoming a nun or a nun as soon as she returned, but this was a choice she had to make out of helplessness!

"It's okay, you can treat this place as your own home. If you feel embarrassed, you can stay and teach my maids some martial arts. This will help you pay for food and clothing here. You won't have any burden on your heart, and my maids can also learn some self-defense methods," Li Xiying suggested.

"But the little skills I have are just fancy moves when I really meet a bad guy." Chu Yiyi was extremely frustrated. Didn't she know what her foundation was?

"Who said that?" Li Xi looked serious. "The villains are outnumbered and powerful. You can't beat four hands with your two fists. If it's the other way around, even those who don't know martial arts can trample the villains to death with one foot. Although you didn't win, you have a strong body and can resist some damage. If they don't even learn fancy moves in the future, at least they can strengthen their bodies and have the courage to resist hardships when they encounter them, right?"

Chu Yiyi thought it made sense, nodded, and smiled: "Since the princess said so, I will do my best to teach you."

"That's right."

There was a knock on the door. It was the maid who had prepared the toiletries and asked the princess to go and wash up and take a bath to wash off the dust and relieve fatigue.

Li Xiying stood up from the table, asked Chu Yiyi to wait for a while, and moved to the inner room of the gauze cupboard next door.

The maids gradually poured hot water into the bathtub, lit incense, and sprinkled the finest spices into the pool.

She took off her dirty coat and listened to their chattering.

The maid Liuli took off the princess's inner clothes and said, "Princess, we have missed you so much during this period! What happened in Chang'an? Tell us what happened?"
