Chapter 321: Discussing to break off the engagement
Hearing the news from the palace maid, Princess Shuhe breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly smiled and said to Princess Huimin: "Okay, don't worry now! It's impossible for Uncle Chen Wang to like Xie Songhua, and neither do you
I feel relieved."
Princess Huimin had a smile on her eyes and brows, and her heart that had been holding on to Baiyue's words "please come in" finally dropped.
This Baiyue didn't know if she had taken the wrong medicine today, but she still used the word "please", so it had nothing to do with Brother Yu's attitude, and it really made her worry in vain.
"Okay, now you can just wait for your father to come out of confinement, and wait for Uncle Chen to go to your father to break off the engagement!"
Shuhe stretched and smiled to comfort her.
Princess Huimin shook her head and said with a smile: "She finally entered the palace, how boring is it to go back like this? After all, Baiyue is asking for a 'please'!"
These words frightened Shuhe, "What are you going to do?"
Seeing her nervous look, Huimin glanced at her and smiled coldly: "Why are you so nervous? Are you worried that I will use you as a raft? There is nothing I can't do in this palace?"
Shuhe couldn't help but feel anxious. Huimin could naturally do whatever she wanted in the palace, but she had been with her since she entered the palace today. If something happened, others would blame her. She couldn't
He is not as valued as Huimin.
She couldn't help but regret in her heart. In order to improve her status in her father's heart, she took the initiative to make friends with Huimin. Now she didn't let her father look at her more, but she was about to get into trouble.
"Go prepare a few people for me."
Hearing this, Princess Shuhe almost burst into tears. In the end, she couldn't help but plead: "Otherwise, or..."
"Um?"
Huimin glanced over. Princess Shuhe didn't dare to refuse, so she had no choice but to order someone to go.
Xie Songhua went to the palace entrance according to his own memory. Fortunately, he had been here several times, and with his not very clear memory, he could probably find the palace entrance.
The main reason is that this palace city is also built very neatly, facing north and south. As long as you follow one direction, you will most likely be right.
However, she decided that she was not compatible with this place, so she could walk as fast as she could!
"Thank you, miss!" Suddenly a breathless voice came from behind. Xie Songhua turned around and saw a palace maid running over in a hurry.
There were too many maids in the palace. Xie Songhua looked at her and asked, "Call me?"
It was a stranger, and Xie Songhua was sure he had never seen it before.
"Are you the third girl of the Xie family?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, the palace maid seemed to be relieved, "The girl left too hastily. General Baiyue asked the slave to wait outside Kunning Palace. When the girl comes out, he will take the girl to see the prince."
"Meet the prince?"
Xie Songhua looked at her suspiciously, would Prince Chen still want to see her?
"General Baiyue said that the girl walked too fast and broke the prince's things before he could say anything. It was not easy for the prince to appear with the girl in Kunning Palace, so he could only use this method to let the slaves guard the girl.
Come out."
As she spoke, she finally took her breath slowly and smiled sheepishly, "Don't mind it, girl, I just ran away in a hurry."
She had a round face and looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She still had some baby fat on her face, which gave her smile a lively flavor.
But Xie Songhua is still a little wary, "I'm sorry, I have something to do at home, so I can't delay it any longer. If the prince wants to prosecute me for damaging his things, let him go directly to my house!"
After saying that, she raised her legs and was about to leave. The palace maid suddenly became anxious, "Hey, Miss Xie, you can't leave!"
After saying that, he quickly ran two steps to catch up and stopped directly in front of Xie Songhua.
"Why can't you leave?" Xie Songhua stared at her suspiciously.
The palace maid felt a little guilty after being stared at, but she still stopped her resolutely, "Anyway, Miss Xie, you just can't leave!"
"Have I not made it clear enough? Just take my words and say them. They are all coming from my mouth and have nothing to do with you. What are you afraid of?"
When she said this, the maid seemed about to burst into tears. Seeing that she couldn't stop it, she had to stamp her foot and said without hesitation: "Thank you, Miss, just go there! The prince wanted to break off the engagement, but the Holy Father refused.
He wants to tell the girl about breaking off the engagement..."
Xie Songhua was stunned and looked at her in surprise, "What did you say?"
"I...I accidentally heard General Baiyue tell the guards that the prince did not want to get married at all. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, the prince talked to the emperor to no avail. He probably wanted the girl to come up with an excuse with the prince.
, call off this marriage."
Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and she looked at Xie Songhua timidly, "I also know that this matter is a blow to the girl, but... But General Baiyue said that if I don't take the girl over now, I will
The slave is punished to do menial work. The slave finally saved enough money and paid it to the steward aunt, so she was transferred to the Qianyuan Palace to do the cleaning. Girl, just do it!"
Is it actually about breaking off the engagement?
When Xie Songhua thought of the man's face today, he couldn't help but shuddered in his heart. Do you really want to get married to such a person?
It feels a bit like courting death.
Otherwise, let's see what his solution is? Maybe we can find a way out.
Xie Songhua thought like this and followed the palace maid in another direction.
"May I have your name?"
"Slave six...Liu'er," the palace maid saw that Xie Songhua was willing to go with her, and she looked much more lively. "The third girl is so beautiful, much prettier than many empresses in this palace."
He also flatters her, and Xie Songhua can't help but smile.
"How old are you?"
"My slave is thirteen."
Xie Songhua paused slightly, but still smiled and said: "How long have you been in Qianyuan Palace? Weren't you in Qianyuan Palace before?"
"My slave has been staying in Qianyuan Palace for half a year. I used to do chores at the back, mainly washing and scrubbing. I soaked in water all day long, and the skin on my hands was soaked to death. I had to save money every day.
I saved a little money by using it, and I used it all to take care of the aunt in charge. Then I slowly worked out the relationship and transferred the slave out of that damn place, otherwise the slave..."
"Lie!" Xie Songhua stopped and looked at her with sharp eyes, "Who are you?!"
"Slave... This slave is really the maid of Qianyuan Palace, slave..."
"According to the selection criteria of my palace maids in Daqi, you can only enter the palace after you are thirteen years old. You are only thirteen years old and you have worked in Qianyuan Palace for half a year. Before that, you were working in the Clothes Bureau.
Only palace maids who have committed crimes go to the Clothing Bureau. Not only is the work heavy, but the pay is also low. How long will it take for you to save money by relying on that pay? You are obviously lying!
Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
In fact, what Xie Songhua should do most at this time is to take advantage of this moment to run away, but the palace maid took her along a small path. Her sense of direction was not good enough, and she could not find her way back.
We can only deal with this palace maid while carefully observing the way we came.
Who would have thought that when the palace maid named Liu Er saw that her lie was exposed and her face showed alarm, she ran away without saying a word, without even giving Xie Songhua a spare look.
Xie Songhua was stunned for a moment, then turned around helplessly to find her way out, and then found two warrior palace men blocking her way.
