C186 Bonfire Dinner(1)

Gu Qing Li didn't mind. He mounted his horse and headed back with Xiao Yi Xiu. Finally, the day's hunt ended unhappily.

The guards returned to the palace, counted the prey, skinned and washed them before taking them to the kitchen to deal with them. At night, there would be a bonfire dinner. Everyone was tired as well. After cleaning and changing their clothes, they could only wait for the sky to turn dark. However, their moods were different.

As Xiao Yi Mo and Xiao Yi Jin recalled how they had flattered and flattered the fake princess these past few days, they couldn't help but be filled with anger. However, they couldn't recall whether or not they had accidentally left a bad impression on the real princess.

They obviously didn't expect that this Princess of the West District, who had been brought up in the palace and was supposed to not be familiar with the affairs of the world, would actually come up with such a plan. Needless to say, the reason why the princess disguised herself as a palace maid was so that she could observe their character from the sidelines. While they were taking care of the fake princess, how could they have the spare time to care about what a young palace maid thought and did?

Princess Lan Xun returned to the hall, and angrily rushed to the dressing table to sit down. When she suddenly saw herself in the bronze mirror, her mouth couldn't help but gape wide open. This is this princess? "

"Yeah." Jingyuan forced a smile. On the way back, it was unknown how many guards were laughing to the point of internal injuries, but the princess herself did not know.

"Stupid girl, you actually never reminded me of that?" The moment she thought of the handkerchief that Gu Qing Li had given to Xiao Yiyan, the nameless fury in her heart began to burn fiercely. Not only did it fill her heart with fury, it also caused her to feel an unfamiliar and astringent feeling, a little bit of pain, and also a little bit of desolation.

Jing Yuan cried out in grievance, "This cannot be blamed on this servant. The princess' eyes never left Prince Chen. When this servant wanted to remind you, you turned around and ran away. This servant's riding skills cannot keep up."

"Never mind, he's already seen this kind of ugly look, so when it's good, he doesn't look at it too much." Princess Lan Xun was listless, her hair had been disbanded, and her clothes were loose as she bathed.

The scented cypress bath barrel steamed with water and was slightly warm and fragrant. The floating petals were like fish swimming in water, occasionally sticking to the smooth snow-white skin of Princess Lan Xun. She lifted the water and poured it over her, seemingly filled with boundless worry.

"Princess, are you longing for spring?" Jingyuan wiped her back with a cloth as he carefully observed her profile.

"Stupid girl, what are you saying?" Princess Lan Xun lifted up a handful of water and poured it over Jing Yuan, half wetting him. She felt that this was the only way to quell her hatred.

Jingyuan pursed her lips and made a crying face, "Princess, do you think this servant has as much clothes as you do and can change them back and forth? This hunting suit is wet, there will be no hunting suit replacement tomorrow! "

"Serves him right! I'll punish you so that you won't be able to go to the hunting grounds tomorrow! "

Jingyuan stuck out his tongue, "It's fine if this servant doesn't want to, but …" Without Jingyuan serving her from the front and back, Princess Lan Xun would feel that the other palace maids were not good enough and understand her thoughts.

With one hand, the princess pinched Jingyuan's fair and delicate face. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Stupid girl, you only care about watching this princess have fun, and you don't think of a solution!"

Jing Yuan cried out in pain and struggled free from Princess Lan Xun's clutches. Rubbing her blushing cheeks, she said with grievance, "Princess, if you touched a wall at Prince Chen's place, you will use this servant to vent your anger! "Speaking of which, if this Prince Chen doesn't like you, then a forcefully twisted melon isn't sweet. You can't use this move against me to deal with him …"

"Then what should we do?" Princess Lan Xun had an expression of annoyance. Today, he had already made it clear that he would never agree to a marriage alliance. With such a refusal, if he made her warm face stick to his cold butt, she would not be able to do it no matter what.

As the princess of the Western Paradise, she had always been doted on and held by others as if they were precious pearls. Even her imperial parents treated her like a treasure.

"Princess, let me see. It's not like you really like this Chen-King, you've just never been rejected before. You just feel indignant." "Jingyuan slowly analyzed, stealing glances at her from time to time." "As for this Duke Chen, he probably doesn't care much for those who throw themselves into his arms. Why don't you just leave him in the dark …"

But Princess Orchon only bit her lower lip in annoyance, seeming to be deep in thought.

"Eh, Princess?" Jing Yuan waved her five fingers in front of her.

Princess Lan Xun slapped her hand away, and the temperature of her face instantly dropped. With a cold expression, she said, "This princess knows what to do. Didn't he care about her …? "Let's see what he does."

Jing Yuan's eyes widened, not understanding what the princess, who was filled with all sorts of weird things, was trying to do.

It was surrounded by spiky bamboo fences and iron fences. In the center of the clearing, a large pit had been dug, and the bottom was covered with firewood, and on top of it, a wooden frame had been placed in the shape of a figure. Flames were burning with blue flame seedlings, and long strings of iron strung across the fur to clean the prey. The clean abdominal cavity had been filled with some salted viscera, wild fungus, bamboo shoots, lotus roots, and so on.

Oil and cumin aroma mixed with the spread out, the original wild flavor of the aroma of the taste awaken the sense of taste. However, the princes who hated eating fine dishes in the imperial kitchens didn't seem to care much. They simply sat around the princess, watching the imperial guards sing and dance merrily as they chatted with her.

As for the fake princess, Jingyuan, it seemed as if she had disappeared into thin air. No one cared about her existence, so she found a gap to secretly set up the inner circle of the bonfire and quietly ran to the outer circle.

The imperial guards from the western border and the eastern region were all sitting together. Although this was an entertainment, they did not dare to relax their vigilance.

Lin Liesheng stood at the edge with a grim expression, patrolling the perimeter of the palace. After all, the palace was different from the imperial palace. Its outer defenses were weaker, but in reality, it was more dangerous.

"Lin …" Jingyuan called out softly, waving at him.

Lin Liesheng looked into the distance and saw that half of Jingyuan's figure had disappeared into the night. She deliberately stood at a place where the bonfire could not reach and the hazy light of the fire illuminated half of her face. Only a slim figure could vaguely make out that it was a woman.

Lin Lisheng's face stiffened. After a moment of hesitation, he walked over.

"Let's go over there." Jingyuan pointed to the area where the guards were squatting and roasting around the small bonfire in groups of three or five, looking pleased with themselves.

"No, this is a temporary residence. Pay attention to your safety."

"This is the Eastern Abyss. Could it be that their responsibility for safety lies elsewhere?" Jingyuan pursed his lips.

"Just like this day or night, if something were to happen to the princess, even if Dong Yuan were to take responsibility, would he be able to save the princess' life? The West will not go to war with the East Abyss just because of that. It will just seek a generous compensation, and us lowly people will have to pay with our lives. "

Jing Yuan looked at the cold expression on his face and sighed.

"You, as the princess' personal palace maid, don't always allow her to cause trouble. You should advise her a little."

"Can I still stop the princess' thoughts?" Jing Yuan felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. How could she possibly hear the advice of a young palace maid like her, willful as Princess Lan Xun? Well, the princess was probably mulling over something again.

"Don't casually believe that Princess Mu. I keep having the feeling that she harbors malicious intentions." Lin Lisheng pointed at Gu Qingruo, who was standing in the middle of the bonfire and chatting closely with Princess Lan Xun.
