Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 376 Disrespect for the Royal Family
The next morning finally arrived, and after having breakfast with Yuzhen, Li Xueyue decided to wander around the palace, looking for a place where she could practice archery alone.
Yuzhen ordered a set of weapons for her as agreed, which would be delivered soon, but before that, she had to find a suitable place to practice.
"Is it this way?" Li Xueyue asked a maid following behind her.
"Yes, Princess. I heard there is a private training ground on the side of the palace."
Li Xueyue nodded and continued walking in that direction, finally stopping in front of a huge gate. The gate was surrounded by tall fences and there were guards outside.
"Crown Princess." They bowed their heads in salute.
The ground shook slightly as the door slowly opened for her.
Li Xueyue was surprised to find that the area here was so large and the ground was flat. Although it was an open place, there was a fence to block the wind.
"Why haven't I heard of this place before?" she thought as she walked through the small passage leading to the training ground.
Just then, she heard the familiar sound of an arrow. Li Xueyue walked out of the passage in time and saw that the arrow had hit the bull's eye - but it was slightly off.
"That's amazing." Li Xueyue couldn't help but say, turning her head, wondering who had such good skills.
To her confusion, the person who came turned out to be Lady Gebeining. Unlike most of the archers, she was wearing a common Hanfu dress. It looked lighter than ordinary clothing, but still had long hanging sleeves. When she turned around to see who had spoken, the hem of her skirt fluttered.
"Oh, Princess." Mrs. Gebening said with a smile and knelt down.
"I didn't expect you were good at archery." Li Xueyue said.
"Princess, I don't think you can shoot an arrow either," said Lady Gbenin, her voice soft, as if she was always out of breath.
She put her hand to her chest. "Forgive me, but I always thought that Wuyi women were too... docile to take up arms."
Li Xueyue heard the hesitation in Mrs. Ge Beining's voice. Obviously, she needed to use another word to replace "gentle".
Li Xueyue did not answer, but smiled and looked around, with her hands behind her back, and began to explore the place freely. In the corner of her eye, something caught her attention.
This is a heavily guarded tent.
"Oh, Princess, please don't go near there." Mrs. Ge Beining said when she found out that the prince and princess were going to the forbidden area.
"Why not?" Li Xueyue asked as she continued walking forward. She was very curious about what was in this kind of place.
Mrs. Gebening opened her mouth, but hesitated. The Crown Princess was almost at the tent. There was no point in warning her. She felt that there was no point in arguing with the Crown Princess.
So, Madam Ge Bening stood aside, watching with a frown on her face, and the Crown Princess had the same expression on her face.
"I warned you," Lady Gablenine whispered, knowing what was coming. Perhaps the princess deserved it for her carelessness.
Seeing the Crown Princess rummaging in her pockets, Mrs. Ge Bening's frown deepened.
"So stubborn," she complained, then shook her head in disappointment. She was just another spoiled princess.
Mrs. Gebening had seen many arrogant people who believed that their authority could fulfill any wish.
“Well, it’s none of my business,” she added.
Mrs. Gablenine reached into the quiver strapped to her back. She pulled out an arrow and placed it in its proper place. However, she was distracted by the sound of shuffling clothing. Or was it the sound of… shuffling curtains?
She put down her bow and arrow. A strange scene appeared. The Crown Princess was gone. Where were the guards? Even though the Crown Princess was gone, they still bowed their heads to show respect.
"Oh my God." Seeing so many weapons, Li Xueyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This tent was much bigger than she had imagined.
"Now I know why there are multiple guards stationed on either side of this tent."
Li Xueyue's fingers stroked a gold and wood bow. On each side of the bow was a large ruby. The shape of the gems resembled flames. No doubt, when the sunlight shone on this weapon, the gems would give people the illusion of fire.
"This thing should be stored somewhere else," she asked loudly. It was unwise to leave such a valuable thing out in the open, even if the tent was guarded.
"It's beautiful," she praised, holding up an arrow. She ran her hand over the red feathers trimmed with yellow and orange. This would also give the illusion of a trailblazing flame.
Li Xueyue originally thought that the bow would be very heavy, so she picked it up and took a look. To her surprise, the bow was actually very light.
"Well, I wonder how—"
"Princess!"
Li Xueyue looked back and found a figure standing at the door of the tent. She pursed her lips and knew whose voice it was.
Li Xueyue walked towards the door of the tent with a bow and arrow. Mrs. Ge Bening was standing there with a worried look on her face.
"This is dangerous, Princess," she said. "If the prince finds you trespassing here, he will not let you go."
Li Xueyue shrugged. What could Yu Zhen do at most? Punish her on the bed? She was looking forward to it.
"Please come back to the training ground with me." Mrs. Gebening warned, "You can't disrespect the royal family like this..." Her voice gradually faded away.
Mrs. Ge Bening took a sharp breath as she finally noticed the weapon in the Crown Princess's hand.
"Not good!" Mrs. Ge Bening screamed and took a step forward, but was stopped by the guards.
"Stop! Don't take another step!" they shouted.
Mrs. Ge Bening was infuriated by them. As long as the prince was there, no one would stop her and let her do whatever she wanted, but he was not there now, was he?
"Princess, you'd better put it back!" Mrs. Ge Bening was furious, her eyes widened, and she shook her head in fear to emphasize her point.
"What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?" Li Xueyue finally spoke. She felt very unhappy when she heard this scolding.
"Princess, what do you mean by that..." Madam Ge Bening's voice faded away, "I just said that the prince will not let you go easily. Princess, not everyone wants to harm you."
Li Xueyue ignored her words. It seemed that this young lady was as stubborn as she was. What she said was neither rude nor polite.
Li Xueyue returned to the depths of the tent and heard Mrs. Ge Bening's somewhat impatient sigh. Forget it.
"Let me see..." She trailed off, trying to remember where she had found the bow.
Seeing the rocket in the corner, she walked over, and then Li Xueyue hung the bow as it was found.
"The guard said this is Yu Zhen's personal tent," Li Xueyue muttered, "but this bow is too small for his size."
However, Li Xueyue shrugged her shoulders and continued to explore the tent, observing the various weapons placed in the tent. The things here were mainly designed for air combat, such as spear throwers made of special materials, boomerangs made of the lightest wood, and so on.
"He must be a weapons fan," she commented. Everything here must be worth a lot of money. Enough to buy a small kingdom, perhaps.
All this wealth could have been used to support ordinary people…
