Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 53

Shangguan Zhuzhu's eyes were wide open, and he stared at Xueyi fiercely: "Really, but, why did you even hurt your lips?"


After speaking, she showed a smiling face: "Oh, Zhuzhu knows, you must have eaten snacks late at night, so you bit the lip."


Xue Yi walked suspiciously to the dressing table, and in the bronze mirror, she was in a daze.


The lips were red and swollen, and there were still some blood marks.


Facing the mirror, I couldn't help being stunned.


Yes, last night she was thirsty and got up to find water and

Her pupils dilated, she remembered the two people she saw last night, she remembered seeing Dragon Boots, and followed them to the backyard wing

then

I thought desperately but couldn't remember how I got back to the room.


After eating breakfast, Shen Bijun was lazy and seemed to have something on his mind. Shangguan Zhuzhu saw that there was no one to care about, so he pulled her out of Baiyun Temple.


Because today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, everyone wants to bathe in fragrant soup, and Liu Ying didn't follow her to prepare the details for her.


"Zhuzhu, let's pay our respects to the Empress Dowager first."


"No, no, there are a lot of relatives and relatives in the Heavenly Palace. If you have to go to greet each other, you can't finish it in one day. Two days earlier, the old lady said that the queen mother said that you will be exempted from paying greetings during the year."


Holding a box in his hand, Shangguan Zhuzhu dragged her along the corridor of the East Palace.


Look up at the plaque on the gate of the palace: Jinghe Palace


After entering the Jinghe Palace and the main hall, but she didn't find the person she was looking for, Zhuzhu said to her: "Auntie is waiting here, I will go find Sister Lanxi."


"Lan Xi?"


"It's the chief maid in this palace."


After finishing speaking, Shangguan Zhuzhu left with a smile on his face.


Xue Yi looked around, there were many green pines planted outside Jinghe Palace, the verdant branches and leaves were covered with snow.


This palace seems to be quieter than other palaces, it is quiet everywhere, there are not many people in the palace, and they walk quietly and lightly.


Shangguan Zhuzhu didn't come back for a while, she wandered into the back of the palace, and she didn't know which garden she went to. She saw spacious and bright, waterside pavilions and pavilions, and a forest of red plums planted in the white snow.

The white snowy sea, the bright red Jiaomei.


Covered in the morning mist, it is indescribably stunning and moving.


Xueyi ran into the plum forest in surprise, stepped on the deep snow, smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms, and laughed happily.


She only loves plum blossoms, because plum blossoms are the favorite of the concubine mother. The palace of the concubine mother is full of plum trees transplanted from the south of the Central Plains. When it snows, the scenery is picturesque.




Once in love, once in love,

The most infatuated place is the most affectionate.


Three thousand trees live under a lonely mountain,

This branch grows in the mausoleum of the mountain. '①

Stepping on the snow in the plum grove, she remembered the only poem her concubine mother had ever recited before she was alive. Every time she faced the plum forest, concubine mother would recite this poem.


When she was young, she didn't understand why the mother and concubine were unhappy when she had all the love of her father.


Now I understand that what the concubine mother loves is not the emperor father.


A gust of breeze swept over, rolling up bright red petals all over the sky, adorning her all over one after another.


When she lost her love, she wanted to reach out and pick one.


At this moment, there was a whoosh sound in the quiet air.


A gust of wind passed by, she let out a cry of pain, and fell into the snow, with a scar on the back of her hand, and blood stains stained the snow red and white.


Not ten steps away from behind came a cool male voice: "Who broke into this garden and forgot my warning?"


Only then did Xue Yi look at the injury on the back of his hand, the wound was not deep, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and landed beside him, a long arrow stuck straight into the snow.


The people behind saw that she didn't answer, and their voices were a bit cold: "Who is it, if you don't make a sound, I will not forgive you."


Xue Yihun didn't seem to hear it, because her whole heart fell on that arrow.


This arrow is exactly the same as the arrow assassinated in the street, and belongs to the same person.


Suddenly, she remembered what Liu Ying had said to her.


Today's crown prince is skilled in archery, piercing through Yang with a hundred steps, and his arrows are flawless!

Could it be

She pulled out the arrow in surprise, stood up, and turned her head.


I saw only ten steps away, in the melting white snow sea, stood there in a white brocade robe and a snow-white fox fur cloak, with a long and elegant figure, long hair flying like ink, and a face as white as snow, pure and beautiful. Peerless facial features

His eyes were as serene as clear water and blue sky, as light as catkins supporting the wind, when the cold wind blew, fine icicles splashed into his eyes, adding a touch of cold charm.


It's just that he is drawing his bow full of arms at this moment, and the arrow is on the string, ready to go!

But the moment she turned her head, she hastily withdrew her strength.


The morning snow wind blows in waves, and the falling leaves are colorful, and the two of them just stared at each other in the snow.


It's him!


He is the man who shot the arrow that day. If he can have such an arrow technique and live in the East Palace, then he is the current prince!

Shangguan Hongyu narrowed his eyes lightly, quietly looking at Xueyi standing under the red plum tree in the fragrant snow sea.


Why does seeing her again, the feeling of reunion after a long absence, as if a lifetime away, grow stronger in my heart?

Thinking that he almost shot her just now, his heart hurts.


With this thought, the voice became a little colder: "I didn't hear me just now, so you're going to die."


Xueyi put his mind back and walked forward, stood closer to see him, more and more he felt that he was as beautiful as a white lotus blooming under the bright moon, his jade face was flawless, but he was a little thinner, there was a sickly paleness between his brows, which made people feel a little distressed.


She couldn't help being startled, then took out the arrow, and said, "I'm sorry, I broke in by accident. I just saw the plum blossoms in the garden so beautifully, so I couldn't help it."


She paused and said: "You are the one who saved me on the street that day, are you the present prince?"


Shangguan Hongyu's eyes fell on the back of her hand, he was silent, took out a white silk handkerchief from his sleeve and gently bandaged her wound, "This arrow is just a warning, otherwise it will penetrate your heart, That's not the only injury."


"You haven't answered me yet."


Xueyi looked at him warmly and asked.


Shangguan Hongyu glanced at her and said, "You already know, why bother to ask me."


After he finished speaking, he looked at her again, "Who are you, you are not from my Prince's Palace."


Xue Yi looked at him with a smile, "You already know it, why bother to ask."


Shangguan Hongyu was startled, and then smiled slowly: "Yes, as long as I see your face, how can I not remember, and how can I not know who you are, Princess of Beicang Kingdom."


Xue Yi continued: "I am no longer a princess, but only Princess Jing."


Shangguan Hongyu fixed his eyes, and said calmly: "Really, but I heard that this marriage is just a transaction. After three years, you are still a princess and you want to go back to Beicang."


Xue Yi's eyes became blank, and she said softly: "My mother and concubine once said that no white fox that has been let go will want to go back to the cage. Why do you think I have to enter the gate of Prince Jing's mansion? Why do I have to endure these three years?" sin."


Shangguan Hongyu also took her words indifferently: "For the freedom of being let go?"


Xue Yi looked up at him suddenly, saw his brows were soft and his eyes were like water, "Well, I just don't know, who is the person who let the white fox go?"


Shangguan Hongyu turned around, his white buckskin boots stepped on the snow, "Maybe the white fox doesn't know how to miss, so it won't look back, but people who know how to miss may miss that white fox."


After speaking, he took a few steps, turned around, and saw Xueyi was still looking at him in the snow, a soft smile appeared on his lips: "How long will you be in a daze, I think you came here with that girl Zhuzhu."


Xue Yi was confused by Shangguan Hongyu's words just now, she came back to her senses, walked up, took out the arrow in her hand, but said: ".I want to ask you for this arrow. I don't know if it will work."


"What do you want it for?"


Xue Yi burst into a smile: "Remember your life-saving grace."


Shangguan Hongyu looked at her lightly for a while, then nodded, "Be careful not to scratch your hand, the arrow is very sharp."

Baiyun view, into the night.


In the bath room, the snow clothes took off all their clothes and stepped into the fragrant soup tub. This was the last night of the year.


Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, there will be a grand banquet in the palace.


She didn't know whether the customs of Dongling Kingdom were the same as those of Beicang Kingdom, but she knew that Dongling Kingdom had complicated etiquette and too many people, so it was definitely not as bold and unrestrained as Beicang Kingdom.


Soaked in warm water, her whole body relaxed, and she thought of what happened in the short few days when she came to Dongling, and she kept thinking about today.

The bathhouse was filled with hot air, and a few oil lamps were flickering, illuminating the sleeping face on the edge of the tub.


In a light sleep, Xue Yi seemed to hear a little bumping sound and thin footsteps coming from the bathroom, but the sound disappeared after a while, her brows moved, and then fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took

This time, she felt a pair of eyes looking at her with scorching gaze.


Startled, he opened his eyes abruptly.


Xue Yi couldn't help gasping, firstly because of the person standing in front of him, and secondly because the water in the bathtub was indeed cold.


Instinctively hiding in the water with her body hugged, she was ashamed and angrily staring at the person in front of her who was still staring at her, "You, how long have you been in!"


Shangguan Zhonglian smiled evilly, stood there with his arms folded and looked at her: "It won't be long, probably, the time for a cup of tea."


Xue Yi suddenly turned pale with anger, and glanced at the door: "What did you do to Liuying?"


"Knocked out."


Shangguan Chonglian replied directly.


Xue Yi opened her mouth wide, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, but seeing that Shangguan Chonglian was still staring at her fiercely, she shouted: "You still watch!"


"I've been here for so long, I didn't even tell you, I've seen everything I need to see, so you don't have to cover it up."


"You, don't you think you're going too far!"


Shangguan Zhonglian smiled evilly, and put her hands on the edge of the tub: "What's more, do you want to try it?"


Xue Yi stretched out his hand to slap, but Shangguan Zhonglian stopped him, and he smiled frivolously: "Okay, I didn't drink today, you ugly girl, even if you give it to Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang is not interested, Xiao Wang's Those Yingying and Yanyan, if you grab any one, they will be a hundred times more beautiful than you, and chuang/kung fu. will make people ecstasy/death."
