Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 76: Entering through the Window

When the third princess came back from leaving the city, she met Bai Junzhe on his first day on duty. Bai Junzhe had gone to the border four years ago. In fact, she had only seen him once or twice at palace banquets when she was a child. It had not been long since Bai Junzhe returned to Beijing, and he had not met the third princess yet. Therefore, the third princess did not know the person who had been making headlines recently, Bai Rouer's brother.

The city defense troops knew the carriage of the third princess Yu Xinyao. Remembering the emblems and patterns on the carriages of the royal nobles was a compulsory course for them. Everyone had to remember them carefully. If one of them accidentally made a mistake and bumped into someone, he would be whipped at best or even killed. Moreover, there was no other luxurious carriage like this one pulled by five horses in the capital.

Therefore, no one dared to step forward to stop it, and the Third Princess Yu Xinyao's carriage entered the city smoothly.

Yu Xinyao went to the Jokhang Temple to draw divination to see if she and Murong Mo could have even a hint of fate.

Although the Third Princess's Mansion had a group of male servants, some of whom behaved like Murong Mo, and some of whom sounded like Murong Mo, and there was revelry every night in the Princess's Mansion, every time Yu Xinyao woke up from one embrace after another, she felt more and more empty and lonely.

Yesterday, when she arrived at the Jokhang Temple, she was told that the fortune stick box in the temple had been shaken by believers for a long time and had fallen apart three days ago, with the sticks scattered all over the floor, making it completely unusable.

The new fortune stick tube is still being produced, so pilgrims can worship Buddha, perform rituals, light eternal lamps, make offerings, tour, and stay overnight, but they cannot draw fortune sticks.

Yu Xinyao spent a day in the Jokhang Temple and stayed overnight, but she was still unwilling to give up. She found a young monk early in the morning and asked, "When will the fortune sticks in the temple be ready?"

The young monk replied, "We have to wait until Master Wuwei comes out of retreat before we can go to the mountain to look for wood." It is said that the wood used to make the fortune stick tube cannot be ordinary wood. We have to find spiritual wood that has a connection with Buddhism. Only the fortune sticks made from such wood will be accurate.

"When will Master Wuwei come out of retreat?" asked Yu Xinyao's personal maid Yu Lan.

The little monk scratched his little bald head and shook it to indicate that he didn't know.

When Yu Xinyao was about to go find the abbot to ask again, she heard the bell ringing in the temple. The abbot had already started giving a Zen lecture all morning and probably wouldn't have time to see her. Yu Xinyao was so angry that she walked out of the Jokhang Temple, got on the carriage waiting at the temple gate, and returned to the capital.

The two maids, Yulan and Yalan, knew that the princess had not achieved the purpose of her trip and was in a bad mood, so they served her even more carefully and dared not utter a word, for fear of saying something wrong and incurring the princess's anger.

Yu Xinyao was sitting in the carriage bored. Suddenly, a gust of wind lifted a corner of the curtain and a silhouette came into her eyes. It was Mo Lang, it was actually Mo Lang.

Yu Xinyao pulled down the curtain of the carriage window and shouted, "Stop the car."

The coachman thought something urgent had happened, and stopped the carriage with a clatter. Yu Xinyao's body suddenly pitched forward, and her forehead hit the wall of the carriage. She saw stars and got a big bump on her forehead.

Even so, she did not take her eyes off the man next to the carriage, and kept repeating, "Mo Lang, Mo Lang."

Bai Junzhe is on duty at the moment, watching the people entering and leaving the city gate with all his heart, doing his job well and trying not to make any mistakes.

At this moment, a carriage suddenly stopped beside him, causing him to turn his head quickly and meet Yu Xinyao's infatuated eyes in the carriage window.

Bai Junzhe just heard the sergeant next to him say that the third princess was in the car. At this moment, he also saw the redness and swelling on her forehead. How could he miss such an opportunity to get close to the princess? He took a few steps forward, bent down, put his face close to the car window, and asked with concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Xinyao was already dizzy at this time. She vaguely saw her Mo Lang, who smiled at her and said gently, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

She reached out her hand from the car window and grabbed Bai Junzhe's sleeve. Just as she was about to speak, the concussion caused by the collision of the cars and her extreme excitement of thinking she had seen Murong Mo caused her to faint.

"Princess, princess."

"Princess, wake up."

The two girls in the car, Yulan and Yalan, hugged the unconscious Yu Xinyao and shouted.

Even though Yu Xinyao fainted, she still held on to Bai Junzhe's sleeve tightly and refused to let go. Yu Lan and Ya Lan did not dare to force the third princess' fingers apart. Besides, they were with their princess every day, so how could they not know what the princess was thinking? She must have taken a fancy to this clerk guarding the city again. Well, this clerk was quite good-looking. Unlike those weak and helpless young men in the mansion, he had the toughness and heroism of a man.

The two looked at each other and pretended to be helpless and said to Bai Junzhe: "Sir, you see the princess is holding your sleeve and won't let go. We can't hurt the princess. Please get in the car and go back to the princess's mansion with us. The princess has fainted and must see the imperial physician immediately. There is no time to waste."

When Bai Junzhe heard the two girls say this, he instinctively felt that his chance had come. If he could please the princess, then maybe his position could be promoted. With this thought in mind, he quickly gave a few instructions to the soldiers around him and flew into the carriage through the window. Fortunately, the princess' carriage was unusually spacious and the windows were large enough, so even if he entered through the window, he did not look embarrassed at all.

Then, the carriage from the Third Princess's Mansion drove away quickly.

This scene fell into the eyes of Qiao Lili and her group who were entering the city. In full view of everyone, he entered the princess's carriage through the window. It was a great move. He grabbed the sleeves and refused to let go. What were the sword on his waist and the long knife in his hand used for? Just cut them off and that's it. Is the material of the clothes invulnerable to swords and guns?

The city gate is always bustling with people entering and leaving the city queuing up for inspection. The actions of the Third Princess and Bai Junzhe were completely distorted in the eyes of these people.

It was well known that the Third Princess's residence was full of nobles. Today, she had once again taken a liking to the officer guarding the city gate. She thought the officer was handsome, so she directly pulled him into the carriage through the window and took him away.

"Hey, this officer doesn't even struggle?"

"It's better to serve the princess in the princess's mansion than to be exposed to the wind and sun at the city gate."

"Maybe the princess will take a fancy to him and make him her consort."

"The soldiers are all from the military, so they must have good physiques and will surely be liked by the princess." This group of women huddled together, they could tell a whole group of chickens about just one chicken feather, let alone witnessing such a shocking event with their own eyes. They could provide the storyteller with material for the entire night, and it would be a combination of meat and vegetables.

Colleagues in the city defense army were so shocked that they kept silent for a long time. How come they had been standing here for several years and had seen the Third Princess coming in and out probably a hundred times, but the Third Princess had never taken a fancy to them? And yet, Bai Junzhe had only been on duty for a whole morning and the Third Princess had already taken a fancy to him.

He was pulled into the carriage through the window by the sleeve and taken away. What was going on? Was he unable to wait for something to happen in the carriage?

How is that guy better than me?

He is just taller, has a straighter back, whiter skin, bigger eyes, a straighter nose and a smaller mouth. The princess is actually still young and ignorant. This pretty boy just looks good, but in practice he is not as good as these rough guys.

If you don’t believe me, princess, just try it.

The next time the Third Princess passes by this city gate, should I take the initiative to move over and let her compare them carefully?
