571 The Effects
The sun was almost set as Princess Chai Ni’s entourage arrived at the border guard’s defence base. The border goes to Dai Yang. The border guards consisted of Dai Yang soldiers on the eastern side of the country which was rarely used as a place to cross the border. And, unexpectedly, people who were dominated by black clothes rushed into the soldiers’ headquarters.
From the combat abilities of the Dai Yang warriors who were above average, it was clear they would have no trouble resisting the attacks of the black-clothed men led by Princess Chai Ni. The princess deliberately provoked the soldiers and cornered them in the base and locked them up so they couldn’t go anywhere. If fighting the soldiers actually had a chance of winning, however, they didn’t fight back in the slightest. Even dropped the weapon and knelt before Princess Chai Ni who arrived in front of them.
All the soldiers who were already under the influence of the Princess’s charming spell lowered their bodies to their knees.
“Greetings Your Highness Princess Chai Ni, may Your Majesty always be healthy and have a long, long life”
The princess sat on the large chair where the general of the border guard on duty, General Mu Yi stood.
Later, Bai Ying was pushed in from the direction of the building on the outside of the headquarters by a man dressed in black. Bai Ying’s eyes widened, he imagined that there would be a great battle in the base, however, all the silver-armoured soldiers of the border guards greeted Chai Ni with respect. What has she done? How that little girl’s Charming spell could be so powerful that many people gave up on her.
Well, actually there’s no need for everyone, Princess Chai Ni just pulls the General and the chief soldier then the other little soldiers will obey their orders. This is very dangerous. In an instant, the Princess was able to build such a large army.
The man holding Bai Ying’s hand pushed him into the field.
“Get in!”
.....
“Hey don’t push me like that, what if I fall?” Bai Ying protested.
The black-clothed man raised his hand to hit Bai Ying’s head but before he could hit him, strong energy pushed him backwards.
“Ah!”
The sound of the commotion was clearly heard by Princess Chai Ni and the others who immediately turned their heads. Even Bai Ying didn’t expect that the man would be flung far before touching him, he couldn’t be careless and let the Princess know what he was capable of.
“Ouch, it hurts” the young man finally pretended to groan and lowered his body while holding his head.
“Why did you hit me?” Bai Ying shouts at the black-clothed man who was still struggling to get up from his fall.
Princess Chai Ni shook her head at her maid to bring Bai Ying to her. The young maid who always followed Chai Ni everywhere nodded and immediately approached Bai Ying who looked a bit limp.
“Your Majesty, please,” said the young servant.
Bai Ying accepted his outstretched hand.
“Yes, thank you, does every one of you like to beat people carelessly huh? How rude” he still grumbled while glancing at the man in black who was immediately helped by his acquaintance to stand up.
Princess Chai Ni smiled at the old general beside her, the man lowered his head and immediately retreated in an orderly manner, and so did the chief soldiers and all the soldiers lined up in the centre of the field, their number could be in the thousands, Bai Ying thought.
“Wow that’s a lot of them”
Chai Ni then got up from her seat and approached Bai Ying who was already sitting in his place. She raised her hand to smooth Bai Ying’s hair which was a bit messy when he fell earlier.
“Oh sweet boy, are they being rude to you? Just tell me, and I’ll break their hands. You all hear me, he is the Viceroy of Wah Ye, you must treat him with the same respect as to me!” said Chai Ni as she turned to her men who were still on the field. Simultaneously the line of men in black clothes answered loudly.
“Yes, Princess!”
Chai Ni took Bai Ying’s hand and pulled him up from his seat.
“Come on, let’s enjoy our dinner, tonight they are slaughtering sheep to celebrate our arrival”
Bai Ying innocently obeyed when the Princess pulled his hand towards the building not far beside the field. With the condition that everyone listened to the Princess’ orders, of course, this base would be a very safe place for her to hide, he hoped the Crown Prince and the others would quickly catch up with him because he couldn’t possibly thwart the Princess’ plans with his own hands.
“Em, are we going to stay here?” he asked.
“Of course not, we will only stay for one night and tomorrow morning we will immediately head to the city of Bu Mo, the border town, then a two-day trip to the capital.”
It didn’t take long for Chai Ni to lead Bai Ying into a large room in the main building which used to be the meeting place for the frontier soldiers, where plenty of food was already on the round table where the two were sitting now, while everyone else was sitting separately elsewhere.
Bai Ying looked around. Apart from Princess Chai Ni, there were also several young women dressed in purple who were sitting by the window. They were members of the Purple Plum clan who had come with Chai Ni during the match at General Po’s residence. Bai Ying looked at Princess Chai Ni, the enchantment plaques must be all over her body, but he didn’t see anything strange other than the jade hanger on her waist. The princess didn’t even wear much hair ornaments other than a long golden ribbon and a hairpin made of gold. It looks like a normal hairpin. He also glanced at the Princess’ ear where there was a pearl earring hanging long almost touching her shoulder.
“Have you enough of seeing?” Chai Ni asked, she seemed to notice Bai Ying’s gaze which was very clearly examining her.
Bai Ying smiled. He shook his head quickly.
“Eh, hehe nothing, I just wonder why Princess is so pretty, but, forgive me for being rude, I notice clearly there is a white-grey hair in your front hair”
Hearing that Chai Ni stopped her hand movement. Her eyes went wide and touched the hair that Bai Ying had mentioned just now.
“G-gray hair? How could there be grey hair?” The princess looked panicked. She put the spoon where she took the side dishes into Bai Ying’s small bowl earlier. Meanwhile, Bai Ying was busy looking at the abundance of food on the table with his eyes shining.
“Wow, this looks delicious”
“Lu er, bring me my mirror!” Chai Ni called out to her personal maid who was standing not far behind her. The young maid lowered her knees for a moment and left.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
“Yes, Princess”
While the princess looked panicked, Bai Ying was busy choosing food in front of him instead.
“Em this one, what is this huh? Let me try this”
.......
The night atmosphere at the border towards Dai Yang. The border guard complex was very quiet. Princess Chai Ni and her group occupy a large house located within the headquarters complex. There were several large rooms that had been prepared for the Princess to stay for the night.
In the poor lighting, Princess Chai Ni was still busy looking at her reflection in the large mirror in her hand, seeing the grey hair that Bai Ying had mentioned. That rotten child, was he just tricking her? She didn’t see any grey hair on her beautiful hair, how could she have grey hair? However, the Princess lowered her mirror, according to her grandmother’s notebook she found with the charm plaque, she really could not use the plaque more than once a day. Even if she had used it too much, she need to stop for a while to use it again the next time, because the effect was quite bad for her body.
The charm plaque is an heirloom that is used by taking the essence of the body to be able to bring out the maximum charm power. The harder the person she is going to lure, the stronger she has to expend her energy. And the great thing is, even if he only uses it once, as long as the person she attracts is not far from her, that person will always be attracted to her. And the spell would be very hard to break once she used it.
And these past few days, Princess Chai Ni had used her plaque more than it should have been, so it wasn’t strange that her hair had started to turn white and her skin had started to wrinkle, which she couldn’t allow this to happen.
While Chai Ni was still busy thinking, suddenly the door was opened from the outside.
“Princess Chai Ni!”
Chai Ni widened her eyes, how could such an impudent child enter her room at will?
“Y-you!”
Bai Ying had already walked in and sat in front of the Princess who was sitting in front of her dressing table.
