The nine princesses of the East Palace

I don't know where I am, but there are bright fireflies all around, which makes my teeth itch.

"I want you to catch a hundred fireflies for me," I heard myself say.

"What's so difficult? Wait." A boy's voice sounded next to him. I was curious who it was.But I couldn't see his face, I saw him jumping up from the ground lightly, with a swipe, he caught one and let me hold it first, then took off his coat, walked through the trees and jungle, and continued to catch one. Fireflies, after a while, he came back, and there were many fireflies in his robe.

His face seemed to be shining, I was a little dazed, he smiled and asked me to count, I counted, but the fireflies all ran away...

"Princess, princess..." was A'Du's voice.When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was lying on the couch. There were no fireflies, and there was no boy who caught fireflies for me. It was just a dream.

"A'Du, aren't you in Danchi?" I rubbed my sleepy head and looked at her.

"King Tiedar asked me to come and do things for the concubine." A'Du said.

"Really? That's great, we can hang out again," I said.

Because I am the first princess of Xizhou, everyone respects me and fears me, and Dad controls me very strictly, few people dare to play with me, it is different when A'Du is here, I can drag her out to play every day.

"Princess, we may not be able to go out often during this time." A'Du said.

"why?"

"Your Majesty wants you to go? N court marriage, have you forgotten?" A'Du said.

I was sleepy before, and I really forgot about it. When she said this, my good mood plummeted instantly. What is that? I don’t know Prince N Chao, so I don’t want to marry him.

Annoyed, I lifted the quilt to cover my head, and it took me a while to remove it, "A'Du, you know me, I don't want to marry until the N Dynasty, I just want to stay in Xizhou."

A'Du was silent.

I sighed, "It would be great if the master was here, he is so good at martial arts, he can definitely take me away."

"Yes." A'Du also nodded, "But Gu Jian went out on business last year and never came back."

I thought about it intently, and it is true that Master has been away for more than a year, and I don't know where to go to do the work, it will take so long.

"Forget it, far water can't save near fire, I'd better find a way by myself." I said.I heard that Prince Nchao is already on his way to Xizhou, if I try to slip away, it will be too late.

The way I thought of was to stun them with the incense that the guards usually found for me, and then ran out. I didn't expect it to be really useful.

A'Du was originally with me, but before she left, she was busy and asked me to wait for her on Liren Slope.

I rode a little red horse and arrived at Lirenpo early, but I waited and waited for three days, but she didn't come. I had almost run out of water and almost finished my dry food.

The sun at noon was very strong, and it was a bit dazzling. I covered my forehead with my hand to block the sun. I raised my eyes and looked ahead. I vaguely saw a horse in front of me, and a person was sitting there. It was a little far away, so I couldn’t see clearly. , it should be A'Du, I think.

"A'Du, A'Du!" I called out to her.

She didn't answer, maybe she didn't hear.

I ran to the front and waved, jumping and screaming, but she fell off the horse, and the horse that carried her stopped.

I hurried over and took a closer look, but it wasn't A'Du, it was a blood-stained man.

Although there was blood on his face, his facial features were profound, and he was still handsome.

His horse seemed exhausted and fell down too.The surrounding area is far away, apart from me, there is only him, if I don't save him, he may die.Such a beautiful person, it is a pity to die.

I patted his face, "Hey, wake up!"

He took several shots, but he didn't wake up.It may be that the injury was too severe. There seems to be a small forest in front of him. It will be cooler there. I'd better drag him there.

I fixed him on a frame tied with branches, and let the little red horse drag him forward.

Before I reached the grove, I was pulled off the horse by a force and fell on the sand. It was the man I just rescued. He woke up at some point, jumped up, and pulled me off the horse. In fact, I was stunned, I obviously saved him, why did he still harm me?

I was rolled several times by him, pressed under my body, the pain made me want to punch someone.

He seemed to see me clearly now, his mouth moved, his eyes became less vigilant, and he seemed to want to say something, but the next moment, he fell down and passed out again.

I pushed him away, hesitated for a while, and prepared to take him to a safe place.Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you save him, maybe the heavens will look at me for saving people and make a turn for the marriage. In that case, I won't have to marry the prince of the N dynasty.

In order to prevent him from waking up and attacking me again, I tied him to a tree with a rope and tied him firmly.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, I was a little tired. I took a nap, and after a while, I felt a gaze staring at me. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the person in front of me had woken up and was looking at me.

The way he looked at me gave me the illusion that he knew me.But when I looked again, I couldn't see anything from his eyes.

Realizing that he was tied to the tree, he struggled a bit, "Since you are willing to save me, why did you tie me to the tree? You let me go, I still have other things to do." He said.

He lowered his voice, as if he wanted me to let go of him.But I'm not stupid. As soon as I let go, he ran away. He was injured like this. If he ran around in the way of others, wouldn't I save him in vain?

Anyway, I can't untie the rope for him.

We confronted each other for a while, and he suddenly started to look around, as if he was looking for something. I picked up something like a silk scroll beside me and asked, "Are you looking for this?"

His expression changed slightly, and then he asked me to give him something.I opened the silk book, looked to the left and looked again, but I couldn't see anything, because I didn't know any of the words on it.

However, it looks like it should be Zhongyuan characters.Alas, I really regret it. I wish I had learned more Chinese characters with Empress Mingyuan.

He looked at me with a slightly relaxed expression on his face. I put the silk book aside and heard him say that he is from the Central Plains and his family sells tea. The silk book is his customs clearance document.

Hearing this, he is quite pitiful, why didn't he say it earlier, I wouldn't tie him up if I said it earlier.

I quickly untied him, and gave him some of my little dry food and water.

However, although he is pitiful, I can't save him in vain. I asked him to promise to do three things for me in the future, and he agreed.

But which three things?Wait until I think about it carefully.

I originally wanted to take him to a doctor to have a look at the injury, but when I woke up, he was gone. Damn, I shouldn’t have untied him at the beginning. If he hadn’t left a cloth strip, I would have thought he was injured last night. The thing is just a dream.

But, what is he writing, I can't understand, I only know the three words above, what three days and what day, see me in three days?

What, another three days to wait!I'm so annoyed, the devil has to wait for him, and left without saying a word, I'm so mad...

However, why do I feel that he is a bit like the boy who caught fireflies for me in my dream.

Bah, bah, it's not him. The person in the dream must be a warm and sunny person, and he almost strangled me yesterday.

I put away the cloth, drank some water, and ate some dry food to pad my stomach.

Alas, why isn't A'Du coming? I'm so worried.
