Chapter 199 Mixed into the Palace
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar calendar, the day when the cowherd and the weaver girl meet, and the day when all lovers in the world are eagerly looking forward to it.
It is also a happy day for the marriage between Jin Haoxuan, the prince of the dark country, and Princess Ziqing, the eldest princess of Yao.
The weather on this day is particularly sunny, with bright stars and scorching sun.
The whole capital is bustling and shoulder-to-shoulder. Everyone intends to see this prosperous wedding, which symbolizes the marriage of the dark country and the Yao Kingdom.
Xiang Zixi mixed with the crowd, dressed in casual clothes, with no joy or sadness on his face and indifferent expression.
From time to time, expensive carriages pass by on the street, and almost all the carriages are full, crowded the whole street with all kinds of gifts. Anyway, this is a national prosperity. How can aristocrats miss the good time of gift-giving?
And foreign leaders are less likely to miss this good opportunity to make friends with this alliance.
So, there are no more people on the street.
There are many people, which is a great opportunity for Xiang Zixi. In this way, no matter what she does, there will be enough cover and retreat.
A juggling team of more than a dozen people in front of them were squeezing forward in sweat, sighing and saying, "Ah, how can there be so many people? If you delay the prince's wedding for a while, this is the charge of killing the head!"
Someone immediately echoed and said, "Yes, yes, I heard that the palace has found a lot of juggling teams from the rivers and lakes this year, but when there are so many people, the emperor may not be able to find more than a dozen people missing!"
"Nonsense! There is someone who is responsible for inventorying this. How can it be fooled! Let's hurry up! It's serious to hurry up and enter the palace!" The team immediately turned back and scolded their men: "When you cooperate with other teams later, your temper will be collected by me!" If there is a fault, I can't save you!"
"I know, boss!" Several subordinates answered listlessly.
Following Xiang Zixi's eyebrows, it turned out that several teams cooperated. In this case, their actions would be more convenient!
The figure flashed gently and instantly separated from the crowd and went straight to the gate in the distance.
"Who is it? Stop!" The guards of the city gate suddenly showed their weapons and blocked the way to Zixi: "This is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter and exit!"
smiled gently at Zixi, took out the gold medal given to him by Xiahou Junhao from his arms, and whispered, "I'm a female official from Yao! At the order of the monarch of our country, come to your palace in advance to confirm the matter. My purple princess is about to marry the prince of your country, and there is no room for any mistake! If there is a slight difference, you will lose the face of your dark country! You have to think about it!"
Look at the two soldiers guarding the gate. I looked at you. One of the soldiers said, "Well, you wait here for me for a while, and I'll go in and inform you!"
The guard returned the gold medal to Xiang Zixi and nodded to Zixi with a smile: "That's good!"
The soldier turned around and went in to report, with a shallow smile on the corners of Zixi's mouth. His right hand unexpectedly grabbed the other soldier's neck and gently broke his hands! With a slight click, the soldier's body fell softly to the ground.
Xiang Zixi quickly dragged the dead soldier aside, took off his clothes, quickly changed it on his body, and quickly ran inside with his head down.
Just as she rushed into the city gate, the soldier in charge of returning just now suddenly came back. Xiang Zixi deliberately raised a rough voice, lowered her head and said vaguely, "That lady suddenly left in an emergency. Ah, my stomach hurts a little. I'm probably going to have diarrhea. Please stand up for me for a while!"
"What a lazy donkey has a lot of shit! Go, go! What a trouble!" The soldiers who went to report did not realize that their partners had been transferred at all. They shook their heads and walked outside. As they walked, they muttered, "I'm so busy today!" Most of the people were transferred to the main gate, and two people were left here to guard, and they were not afraid of problems! Humph, those people took away all the good errands, and the two of us are left here to stand up!"
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corners of Zixi's mouth and quickly walked towards the interior of the palace.
At this time, a team of palace maids came quickly towards this side with their heads down and a golden plate, took off the hat on her head, took off all their clothes and put them under a huge bronze tripod. Hide behind the bronze tripod and wait for the arrival of the team of maids.
It's not surprising that the team of maids of honor really came quickly in this direction. Everyone was in a hurry, with a heavy fruit in their hands, which seemed to be heavy.
When everyone passed by in turn, and the last one passed by, one hand covered her mouth from behind her. Before the poor maid made a sound, she had been stunned by Xiang Zixi!
Xiang Zixi did not drag at all. She changed the maid's clothes almost in an instant, hid the poor maid next to the copper tripod, held the plate of the fruit, and quickly followed the front team.
Sure enough, Xiang Zixi didn't guess correctly. These maids really prepared for the wedding celebration.
Following the team of maids of honor all the way, they came to the main venue of the wedding - Qiankun Hall.
He took a deep breath, gently raised his head, and saw the magnificent hall, which was wrapped in red makeup, red carpet, big red lanterns, and big red colorful silk.
A trace of pain flashed in her eyes. The hostess of this wedding should have been her own. Now, it has become everything you want to destroy!
"Hey! What are you still doing? Why don't you put it down quickly and continue to work?" The leading maid pointed to Zixi and shouted loudly, "I want to be lazy at a young age!" It's not a good thing at first sight!"
"Yes!" Xiang Zixi said vaguely, slowly put down the fruit in his hand, searched around, and chose the right time for the occasion.
Suddenly, Xiang Zixi's eyes suddenly fell on a huge stage in front of the hall.
At this time, several girls are already rehearsing their dances. Obviously, these girls are not in the same team. They are all popular actresses temporarily drawn from many groups. Therefore, everyone needs a run-in and training.
Here comes the opportunity!
Xiang Zixi dodged, instantly broke away from the palace maid's team, and suddenly appeared in the back lounge of the stage. She quickly took off her maid's clothes, threw them in the corner, and picked up a light green dress.
Just as Xiang Zixi had just changed her clothes, an elderly maid came over eagerly. When she saw Xiang Zixi, she immediately said, "Why are you still here? The dance above is going to be rehearsed!"
Ah? Yes!" Xiang Zixi casually answered, "Sister, when will this dance be prepared for the emperor? This is my first time to come to the palace, and I feel so nervous!"
The old maid smiled and looked at the expression of the lower people: "Ok, don't worry, someone will tell you then! Your dance happens to be the last program. After you finish dancing, it's time for Your Highness to marry the princess!"
The finale? Very good, I like it very much!
Yes! Thank you for your suggestion! Please don't refuse this little thing!" Xiang Zixi took out an ingot of silver from her sleeve and slowly stuffed it into the hand of the maid of honor. She said eagerly, "Sister, I have admired Your Highness for a long time, and I also like to sing a few words when I was in the theater, so can I ask my sister for help and add a few more words? I promise I won't cause any trouble to my sister! Sister, as you know, it is too difficult for us actors to make a name for ourselves! And no matter how much money an unknown actor sings, he can't fill his stomach! Today, these people are favored by the emperor and are allowed to enter the palace to perform for the emperor and His Highness. If we can get half a golden word from the emperor, it will be enough for us to eat for a lifetime! Therefore, please ask your sister to do me this favor!"
The maid of honor was about to say righteously and slipped from her wrist * one of her jade bracelets to the other party's wrists, and her attitude was as intimate as she was.
The maid was really moved and said with a smile, "Well, for the sake of being so sensible, I will give you the task of singing! But don't let me down!"
"What did my sister say? How dare my sister make trouble for my sister!" Xiang Zixi's smile was even sweeter, and the corners of his eyes floated across the main hall not far away, but there was a tingling pain in the bottom of his heart.
Jin Haoxuan, you probably didn't expect that I'm not dead yet, right? You probably haven't thought we'll meet again, have you? You probably haven't thought that we would meet in this form, right?
Jin Haoxuan, I will give you a big surprise!
"Oc, I know all about it. You go up and rehearse the dance!" The old maid proudly collected the things she paid tribute to Zixi. Anyway, such things are common. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to take a look at those vulgar rural women.
Xiang Zixi came to the stage meekly and greeted everyone else enthusiastically. Because those girls came from several teams, they all regarded Xiang Zixi as members of other teams and told Xiang Zixi all the dance they had just rehearsed.
Although Xiang Zixi has not studied dance professionally, the flexibility of her body is absolutely comparable to that of a gymnast!
Coupled with her strong understanding, she quickly learned it and put forward her own suggestions for improvement, making the whole dance more round and fuller and vivid.
When all the rehearsals are over, wait for the official appearance.
Jin Haoxuan, Princess Ziqing, see you soon!
