Chapter 56 Life in the Mask

Just outside the door, the flash of light in the room due to the visual angle made Meng Xinzhu notice that the entire room was covered with very thin silk threads, just like a room full of infrared rays. It seemed that the emperor's uncle was doing it

Dad has already set up a mechanism in this room, and these threads must be switches. But to Meng Xinzhu, these are just small cases. She has not practiced in this time and space for so long, so today will be regarded as a training exercise.

People outside the house were surprised by Meng Xinzhu's posture and steps. Hongde and Long Qiu couldn't understand why she suddenly made these weird movements. When he paid closer attention, he discovered those thin threads. She could actually figure out how to cross them in this way.

, judging from her proficiency, she must have practiced frequently, and how to organize such practice?

Xiao Zhao also paid attention to the movements of the Bamboo Concubine in the room. Even with such densely packed silk threads, even with high-strength Qinggong, it may not be possible to pass smoothly. However, the Bamboo Concubine does not know the Qinggong at all, but with her flexible body and keen observation, she is able to pass through it smoothly.

Little by little, we get closer to our destination.

If someone has an ulterior motive, they will usually hide or cover up their abilities, but Zhu Fei's performance did not leave any room. She focused entirely on passing the thread. Judging from her current situation, there is no need to use this to attract attention.

The emperor's attention, but too much exposure of one's abilities will arouse the vigilance of others.

Xiao Zhao couldn't help but frown. He couldn't understand Zhu Fei more and more. Was this woman not acting according to common sense, or was she not what he thought at all?

The Nine Emperors Uncle and his wife looked surprised. How could they imagine that the daughter of the imperial concubine could pass through the traps they had worked so hard to arrange so easily.

Meng Xinzhu passed all the silk threads and stood in front of the table with the brocade box. She was not in a hurry to open the brocade box, but observed the surrounding situation as a professional habit. After making sure that there was no problem, she stepped forward to open the brocade box.

In the brocade box was a mask made of gold. This mask was very special. Its irregular edges could not cover the entire face, but exposed the lower left half of the face and the entire lips. Meng Xinzhu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then

Take it with you and return the way you came.

She crossed the last thread, stepped out of the threshold, and blessed the old couple, "Thank you, uncle, godfather, and princess godmother for the gift. It should look pretty good when I carry it!"

Uncle Nine Emperors grabbed her hand and looked at her with almost admiration, "The princess's daughter, my good daughter, what was that move just now? How about teaching it to your godfather?"

Meng Xinzhu took off the mask with one hand and said with a smile: "Okay, but," she looked up and down her godfather's figure and made a cutting motion with her hand, "You have to give your belly first..."

Uncle Nine Emperors subconsciously covered his already fat belly, "This is my treasure, I can't let it go."

"Hahaha!"

"Daughter of the imperial concubine, do you know who created this formation?" Meng Xinzhu shook her head, and Aunt Jiuhuang said proudly, "That was made by your godmother and my father. No one has ever broken it. Now,

But he was betrayed by a little girl like you. No, no, I must let you go see him."

"Auntie Huang!" Hongde Longqiu stepped forward, "You also know that it is inconvenient for the imperial concubine to leave the palace alone."

"That's right. Seeing how happy I am, I forgot about the rules."

"You have great skills, little girl," Uncle Nine Emperors continued to admire, "It seems that there is nothing in my palace that can stop you."

"Oh! That's a sin. If there is something missing from my father's place in the future, my daughter will have to bear the blame! Ah! This burden is too heavy. It seems that it would be better for me to commit suicide early."

"Hey, old man, what nonsense are you talking about!" the Ninth Princess shouted, "The same goes for the princess's daughter, bah bah bah, what a childish talk is!"

Meng Xinzhu looked at the golden mask with a smile, "Princess Godmother, why did you think of giving your daughter this mask?"

"This mask has a history."

This mask was used by the Ninth Princess’s father when he was young. The Tenth Princess’s ancestral business was to hang gourds to help the world. Her family was well off and she had no worries about food and clothing. However, in her father’s generation, she became even more famous. Her father was also a weirdo.

He studied medicine, also liked to practice martial arts to perform chivalry and justice, and even liked to play with all kinds of weird things. It’s no wonder that he recruited the Nine Emperor Gods as his son-in-law. In addition to practicing medicine, he also often traveled around the world, helping the poor and making friends.

All kinds of friends, but they always wear a mask when they act, and those who receive his help call him the "gold-faced man". Now that her father has retired, he left this mask to his daughter.

"The princess and godmother gave Xinzhu such a valuable item, but Xinzhu really doesn't dare to accept it!"

"Is there anything you shouldn't do? There are a lot of common things in this palace, and you don't lack these common things in the palace. But this mask has a special meaning. My godmother thinks highly of you, so she gave it to you."

Meng Xinzhu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then my daughter will accept it, but she should leave the mask in the palace."

"I said it was a gift for you, why are you still here?"

"Didn't you say this is my natal home? It's normal for a daughter to leave some things in her natal home. Wouldn't the godmother not have thought of leaving a room for her daughter?"

"How could that be? Ask someone to clean up this room immediately and use it as your boudoir."

It was a wonderful time-travel that made the Nine Emperors Uncle talk about it. Hongde Longqiu worked hard for a long time before he "snatched" Meng Xinzhu from the old couple and took him to the carriage. Meng Xinzhu put the rock climbing clothes on the seat and looked out the window

, was speechless all the way. Hongde Longqiu looked at her and frowned, why was she suddenly worried?

"What are you thinking about?" It was still daytime, and Hongde Longqiu took Meng Xinzhu to Kangding Lake so that they could spend an afternoon together.

"Thinking about that mask."

"If you like me so much, why don't you stay with me?"

"It's not because I like it," Meng Xinzhu squinted at the lake. "I don't like gold. I think it's too dazzling and a bit too gorgeous. I don't like masks even more because I see too many people wearing masks.

, including myself, it is no longer easy to distinguish what is true and what is false.”

Hongde Longqiu looked at her, "Wearing a mask?"

"Yes, they say that life is only a few decades, so don't leave any regrets for yourself. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, love when you need to, and don't suppress or restrict yourself. But humans are social creatures after all.

, there are too many things we can't help ourselves with, too much helplessness, and too much powerlessness. We don't want to hurt others, but we are more afraid of getting hurt ourselves. This is why masks appear. People wear them to disguise their true selves. Also see

You can't see the truth of others." Meng Xinzhu turned to look at him, "Actually, as the emperor, you should know this best. Those ministers, which ones are wearing masks and which ones are real, you should be able to see clearly when you are sitting in the court. And for

Jiangshan Sheyou, you have to put on a mask and deal with those who want to annex you or those who want to annex you."
