The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Agate said with a worried look on his face: "Yes, we all know about Chang'an's relocation of the capital. I wonder how the princess escaped?"

Pearl refuted Agate: "You should stop talking. Princess is blessed by heaven. It is easy for her to turn misfortune into fortune and turn disaster into blessing!"

Everyone was looking at Pearl, but Emerald, who was pouring hot water, was stunned and asked: "Where's Amber? Amber didn't come back. Could it be that she has... met with an accident?"

Daimao listened to what she heard and shed tears. She wiped them away secretly for fear that the princess would see, "Amber is so pitiful. She is the youngest among all these maids..."

Li Xi immersed her body in the water, originally speechless, and then raised her voice to stop them from continuing the discussion, otherwise they would say that Amber had died young because she had not returned.

"Amber's leg was caught in a trap when she came back, so she can't come back for the time being. She will come back when she is better." Li Xiying sighed slightly, "Go out, I'll call you after I finish bathing."

A group of maids nodded and left the place one after another.

It was already afternoon when she shed her tired clothes, took a full bath and put on her clothes.

The sun shines slightly in the afternoon.

Li Xiying looked at Chu Yiyi, who was sitting at the table with her lips pursed, in a daze.

He couldn't help but have an idea and decided to call all the maids today, and have them line up around Chu Yiyi to pay homage to her as his master.

Liuli Agate and the others looked confused, until Li Xiying explained the reason, they all became more alert and interested.

"Then we'll have to trouble Madam Chu to be our master!" Several maids chattered and bowed.

Chu Yiyi returned the gifts one by one, saying that she was not worthy of them.

After they finished their greetings, everyone left, except Agate, who stayed behind to ask the princess where she wanted to have her meal.

She looked at Chu Yiyi. Usually, she ate in the hall, but she also had the habit of eating under the pavilion or outside the corridor. But today she didn't want to move in the room, so she ordered, "Bring the food into the room, I will eat with Madam Chu."

Just as Manjue was about to leave, Li Xiying called her back, "By the way, don't forget to send food to that promised lover."

Agate turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, Princess. Agate won't let our distinguished guest go hungry!"

……

After eating, Chu Yiyi returned to her room.

Li Xi fell on the bed, and because of sleepiness, she took a quick nap.

After waking up, she called her grandma to explain some things: the first thing was that she needed her grandma to send someone to Yanqi Village to bring Amber back and ask for medical treatment.

After all, Yanqi is located in a remote area and there may not be good doctors there, so it is better to come back for treatment.

Grandma nodded and agreed, saying it was not a difficult task.

The second thing she did was to tell her grandmother all the details about entering the palace, and asked her to follow the arrangements at all times without any objection.

Grandma was shocked when she heard this. Looking at the princess' fierce and resolute eyes, she couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "I can do what Amber wants, but what about the princess...does the princess really want to do this?"

Li Xi was not surprised by Grandma's reaction and advised: "How can we defeat the enemy without infiltrating the enemy?"

She planned to enter the Luoyang Palace by using the art of disguise. The current situation in Luoyang was chaotic and disorganized, which was just right for her to take advantage of the situation.

"But I'm worried about the princess's safety! The prime minister is not someone you can easily mess with. If something happens to the princess during this trip..."

Grandma's temples are already white. She watched the princess grow up and has long put the princess's safety before her own. If possible, she would rather die for the princess.

"Look?" Li Xiying took out two masks and spread them out on the clean, dust-free table for her to see.

Grandma was speechless, not knowing what this was.

"Don't worry, he won't recognize me."

Li Xi was confident and said, "This is a disguise technique that can help me."

"The art of disguise?" Grandma stared at the soft leather in a daze, and guessed, "It has a nose and a mouth. Could it be that this thing is stuck on a person's face?"

"Grandma is so smart!" Li Xiying looked at her grandma approvingly and took out a bottle of isinglass.

Grandma smelled it and immediately recognized it as isinglass by its color and texture.

In order to dispel her grandmother's doubts, Li Xiying heated the fish glue slightly and applied it evenly to her entire face. She held the mask in front of the bronze mirror and put it on her face. She pressed and pinched it gently, and to her grandmother's astonishment, her appearance was completely changed.

She smiled brightly, and every smile was very genuine.

"How can you still recognize me?"

Grandma shook her head in shock and took a closer look. It was perfectly fitted without any flaws.

"The princess's appearance is indeed difficult to recognize, but..."

"But what?" Li Xiying really wanted to know what clues grandma could see or what concerns she had.

Grandma said truthfully: "I know the princess best. She has a graceful demeanor and a unique aura. Someone like me who is familiar with her can easily recognize her at a glance. I am just afraid that her figure will be exactly the same, but her face will be different, which will arouse suspicion. Now many people know that the Yanqi man can disguise himself!"

This reminded her that "people who are very familiar with me can recognize me by my figure and demeanor."

Grandma nodded.

"You're right. If you are suspected by acquaintances for unnecessary time, it will cause unnecessary trouble to your actions."

She frowned and thought, "But there is always a way!"

Grandma was anxious and was about to tell her not to take the risk, but she was interrupted by her voice:

"How about Grandma teach me how to change my manners now? I'll try my best to forget my old habits. Over time, maybe I can avoid being recognized by acquaintances?"

Grandma was ashamed. She had never disobeyed the princess's orders before, but this time, she wanted to disobey the order.

"Grandma!" Li Xiying took her arm and leaned on her shoulder, like an ordinary young lady leaning on her grandmother's shoulder, and persuaded her patiently, "Whether it's revenge or not, I promised Grandma that I will put my own safety first and will never do anything that puts me in danger easily."

"My princess, isn't this also a matter of risking your life?" Grandma's eyes were moist and her voice was trembling.

"But I must think of a foolproof way to save my brother from the dire straits. Grandpa can't die in vain, and that thief can't seize the Tang Dynasty so easily without any resistance!" Li Xiying held her grandmother's hand, and unknowingly a line of warm water slid down her face. She wiped it off belatedly.

"I have to do this method!" She said with a firm look.

Grandma was silent for a long time and had no choice but to follow her arrangements.

Teach her to change some of her signature moves.

For example, instead of holding your head high and chest out, you should change to lowering your head and bending your back, and even changing your walking, sitting, and lying down. In addition, you should also change your speaking habits, and pronounce words in a way that eliminates your previous accent...

This is the equivalent of teaching a person to walk again, but not being able to walk the same way as before, and constantly ‘unlearning’ the habit and keeping it in mind is a difficult problem that needs to be overcome.

As for speaking, although she can speak Chang'an Mandarin, she has lived in Luoyang for many years and has learned some of the local dialect, so this is not a problem for her.

"Grandma, I'm only telling you this first. Please keep it secret for now and don't tell anyone." Li Xiying said earnestly.

Grandma is solid and reliable. She is the pillar of the manor and even more so her pillar. In the future, she must be able to support Li Xi and manage the maids well so that she can remain calm and fearless when encountering difficulties.

After communicating everything with grandma, she silently lowered her head, hid the sadness in her eyes, closed the door and left.

Li Xixiao sat in front of the mirror, lost in thought at the unfamiliar face. While taking off her mask, she was thinking about what she needed to do in the palace in the next few days.

At that time, she could disguise herself as a refugee and apply for the position of a maid to sneak into the palace.

Once she sneaks into the Luoyang Palace, she will need to maneuver in the inner court for a long time as long as she does not expose herself. Even if it takes a long time, she has to be patient and take it step by step.

If the first step is taken successfully, the second step is to find a way to monitor which are the loyal ministers who support A-di and which are the treacherous ministers who fawn on Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen did not immediately overthrow the government and proclaim himself emperor, which shows that he was still somewhat wary of some loyal ministers and the local princes who were eyeing him covetously, as well as the discussions and attacks from the people of the world.

A single move affects the entire body, only when you have a stand can you have a chance of winning!

The third step was to try her best to stop Zhu Wen from harming the young emperor, and to try her best to collect all the evidence that was unfavorable to Zhu Wen. If one day he overthrew the Tang Dynasty and established his own dynasty, she could immediately recruit talented people from all over the world to fight against and overthrow Zhu Wen!

No matter which step you can do well, it will be the key to turning the situation around.
