Chapter 20 Goodbye Prince

"I am your training mother. You can call me Mother Lan. From tomorrow, the five ladies will start a ten-day training, including palace rules and standard standing, walk, sitting, talking, eating and sleeping. During this period, ladies, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. I hope you can keep your duty. Mother, I would like to remind you that this is the palace!"

M Mother Lan's tone is very calm, but she always reveals a sense of pressure that cannot be ignored.

"Yes."

Waiting for Mother Lan to finish her words, they were taken to settle down. Because there were only five people, they lived together in the Feixian Pavilion in Chuxiu Palace, one room, and each of them was assigned two maids.

Shen Sirong didn't want to argue with them, so he offered to let the other four people choose their residence first. Finally, there were only two corners of the room left. Shen Sirong decided to choose one at will.

Since entering the house, Shen Sirong has never gone out again. The two maids assigned to her were called Hanxiang and Hanmei. They waited on her for dinner and went out. Shen Sirong was so bored that she lay down and slept in a daze for a while. It was already late at night when she woke up.

At this moment, Shen Sirong got up and opened the doors and windows. Before he had time to take a good look in the day, there was a small garden outside the door. There were various flowers in the garden. Going forward was a round arch. The bright moon was in the sky, and Shen Sirong stepped out.

"Miss Shen, please stay." Hanxiang trotted after her, and Shen Sirong stopped looking at her.

"Can't I go out?" Shen Sirong knew that he could not walk around the palace and asked.

Hanxiang blessed her body: "Miss Shen, I'm afraid that you won't know the way when you first come to the palace, so let Hanxiang take you around Chuxiu Palace."

Shen Sirong recognized the meaning of her words. At this time, it was okay to go out late, but you can't go far. Secondly, there must be someone around her.

"That's a good job."

Shen Sirong smiled at Han Xiang.

......

Xiao Yuanqi knew that his father had a purpose in appointing these five people, but he couldn't figure it out and felt that there was something wrong. For example, Mother Lan, who is the old mother in the palace and once served Empress Hui'an (Xiao Yuanqi's mother concubine), was transferred to Shangyang Palace after that incident. She has long been from the fourth grade. It's not her turn to do this kind of training. What on earth does her father want to do?

There was a feeling of depression in Xiao Yuanqi's chest. He got up from the table. The eunuch outside the door heard the movement and carefully poked his head in: "Your Highness."

"What time is it now?" Xiao Yuanqi straightened his clothes behind his back.

"Your Highness, it's almost time to return to the prince."

Xiao Yuanqi turned around and walked out. The eunuch followed behind with the lamp in his hand. After a few steps, Xiao Yuanqi turned around and said, "You go back first. I'll be quiet alone."

"But, Your Highness..."

The eunuch's words were worried, but his eyes on Xiao Yuanqi immediately stopped. Xiao Yuanqi watched him leave before continuing to walk behind the Royal Garden. As the prince of Changli, he naturally knows to protect himself. First of all, he is a master. The palace is rigorous in defense, and there are hidden guards in the dark. Naturally, he is not worried.

Xiao Yuanqi had something in his heart and didn't pay attention to which direction he was going. He went straight through the imperial garden. When Xiao Yuanqi came to his senses, he had already walked to the pond near Chuxiu Palace. He stopped and stood facing the water, with his hands behind him and brushed the silk on the water. The cool breeze brought a few hairs on his temples.

Shen Sirong came out with Han Xiang and just walked around. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Sirong felt tired and let Han Xiang lead the way back.

Not long after walking, he could vaguely see the gate of Chuxiu Palace. Shen Sirong slowed down and seemed to want this road to be longer.

Inadvertently glanced at the pond on the left, and there was an unknown person standing by the empty pond. The moonlight sprinkled from a high place, and the surface of the water also reflected white light. The man's straight back is lonely and independent, and he stands alone with a handsome and extraordinary appearance. Looking down, a long shadow appeared on the ground, thin and slender, emitting a faint sadness all over the body. There is a kind of sadness rising from the bottom of my heart. This faint and refreshing sadness inexplicably made Shen Sirong's eyes seem to have more heartache.

Hanxiang followed her not far away and did not see anyone standing by the pond. Seeing Shen Sirong stop and asked, "Miss Shen, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yuanqi stood by the pond and looked at the calm water. He doesn't know how long he hasn't been alone, and there are always many things in his life every day. The tranquility of this moment reminded him of many things, many things that he was about to forget.

In the middle of the water is the reflection of the moon. As soon as the breeze passed, the water surface became folded. The "moon" shook, as if it was struggling. The wind passed without trace. It didn't take long for the "moon" to be firmly trapped in the middle of the water.

The closer this palace is, the stranger and alienated it is. He felt as if he were the "moon" and stood helplessly in a position he didn't want to stay. Even just for a moment, Xiao Yuanqi was questioning his existence and was in a trance...

Suddenly heard someone talking, Xiao Yuanqi hurriedly restrained his mind, secretly alerted himself, and was annoyed. He didn't expect to be so careless today that some people didn't know about it. In case someone is wrong, then...

shouted with vi vi viva and anger: "Who is it?"

Hanxiang didn't know that Xiao Yuanqi was here. Hearing this low roar, she stood up. Seeing that Shen Sirong did not respond, she crossed Shen Sirong's body and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Ah?" Han Xiang exclaimed and quickly turned around and pulled Shen Sirong to kneel down. He kept saying, "Your Highness forgives you, Your Highness forgives you."

Shen Sirong had already guessed that the one who was still in the inner palace late at night must not be an idle person. Before, she saw him wearing plain clothes and did not know his identity. At this moment, when Han Xiang shouted, she knew that the Prince was in front of her.

And Xiao Yuanqi is also turning around. Seeing Shen Sirong, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was waiting to be selected in the palace.

Shen Sirong looked at him from afar, and the familiarity hit her heart again, but she really had no impression of the prince's facial features. What was the familiarity?

Xiao Yuanqi has come to her, and Shen Sirong knelt down to salute.

"Let's have a flat body." Xiao Yuanqi's voice is smooth, mellow and delicate, but it contains irresistible majesty. Shen Sirong thanked him and got up and looked up at Xiao Yuanqi. He stood a few steps away from her, looked sideways at the cold fragrance behind her and said, "Go aside and wait."

"Yes." When the cold fragrance reced, Xiao Yuanqi looked into Shen Sirong's eyes. Today, Shen Sirong came out in casual clothes, and her white clothes made her look like a fairy.

Knowing that the prince was looking at her, Shen Sirong did not dare to lower his head to his face, so he had to lower his eyes with a light smile, but he speculated that Xiao Yuanqi intended to leave her alone.

"I don't know what's wrong with your Highness leaving your daughter?" After waiting for a while, Xiao Yuanqi never said anything, and Shen Sirong asked.

Xiao Yuanqi could not see any surprise or surprise on her face. Seeing that she didn't remember herself, he sneered, "I don't know how the young lady's injury is?"

Injury?

Sure enough, what the prince and she had seen, his voice and momentum made Shen Sirong a little impression, but it was hard to say. At this time, the prince asked, if it is disrespectful to answer, but if it is wrong, it is not easy to do.

Xiao Yuanqi closed his eyebrows, and Shen Sirong saw it, but he was thinking about when he had seen him. At this time, Xiao Yuanqi was very different from the figure by the pond just now, and there was no lonely situation. This great change made Shen Sirong feel that the scene just now was just an illusion.

"Qingxinzhai."

Xiao Yuanqi reminded.

Speaking of Qingxinzhai, Shen Sirong naturally remembered. She raised her head and Xiao Yuanqi firmly grabbed her eyes.

His Royal Highness was the man who bumped into him at the gate of Qingxinzhai. Last time, I felt that the popularity was extraordinary and I didn't see his appearance clearly. I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness.

"The minister is fine. Your Highness is worried about it." There is no flaw on Shen Sirong's face, and no matter how confused his thoughts are, he can't see it at all.

No longer paying attention to her, Xiao Yuanqi walked sideways in the direction of Chuxiu Palace. Shen Sirong paused and then followed. Xiao Yuanqi did not speak along the way. Xiao Yuanqi listened carefully to the footsteps behind him, but his heart was calm, and his cold hands were also a little warmer.

When he arrived at the door of Chuxiu Palace, Shen Sirong said goodbye to him. Xiao Yuanqi looked at her back and asked with deep meaning, "Do you know King Li well?"

This problem seems to have been in his mind for a long time. At this moment, a long-standing stone in his chest fell empty. He looked at Shen Sirong motionless and wanted to hear her answer for some reason.

Shen Sirong was also stunned when she heard this question. She didn't know how the prince asked this. She turned sideways, and Xiao Yuanqi showed her soft side face in her eyes, and she said faintly, "It's just a few faces." After saying that, he turned around and entered the Chuxiu Palace.

Entering the palace gate, Shen Sirong walked to the shadow and stopped. She looked in the direction of the palace gate and waited for the cold fragrance behind her. At this time, there was a sound at the corner on the left.

"Yo, where is Sister Shen?" Originally woken up by Wang Shu's maid in the middle of the night, Song Yiyi held her belly full of fire, but now she saw that Shen Sirong had just returned from outside the palace, and Song Yiyi greeted her with a smile. Behind Song Yiyi is a weak Wang Shu, whose maid is holding her arm so that she can rely on something.

She smiled at Shen Sirong, and Shen Sirong also nodded.

Song Yiyi saw that Shen Sirong did not answer her, so she continued to say, "Sister Shen doesn't know that she can't walk around in this palace. If Mother Lan knows..."
