The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much
Chapter 31 Asking for help
The next day, Chu Ci got up early. She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror. Suddenly, she felt powerless. She didn't know what she would look like in the future.
But thinking about her life in the previous life, she still has time and opportunity. She needs to calm down and plan slowly.
Chunhua watched her master staring at herself in the mirror in a daze, and felt that her master seemed to be filled with endless sadness.
"Chunhua, come here and put on some simple makeup for me."
After putting on makeup, Chunhua held a bright red dress in her hand and said, "Master, I've found the clothes, but what about the jewelry?"
Chu Ci took out the wooden box that King Rui had given her and slowly opened it. "Let's use this one!"
Chunhua was really shocked when she saw the set of headdresses in her master's hand. Although she had never owned one, she had seen many ladies from wealthy families, but none of them had a set of jewelry that could compare to this one.
"Okay, with this set of jewelry, Miss will definitely be the most dazzling one at the banquet."
Chunhua was putting makeup on her while she looked at the jewelry on her head. Why would King Rui give her such an expensive set of jewelry? What use could she be to him?
After dressing up, Chu Ci could be described as stunningly beautiful.
Chunhua opened her mouth wide, covered it with her hands, and looked at her master in surprise, "Master, you are so beautiful! You will definitely outshine all the other beauties at today's banquet."
Chu Ci glanced at Chunhua indifferently. Her name was really perfect. It was both earthy and real.
Just like in her previous life, she really had no idea what she could say and what she couldn't say.
"Well, let the carriage wait outside. I'll be there right away."
Chunhua went out to find a carriage. Chu Ci took out his silver needles and found a few of them and inserted them into his hair to save his life at the critical moment.
When Chu Ci arrived at the gate, she saw that there was no carriage at the door. Chu Ci was about to ask when she saw Chunhua running towards her in a panic.
"What happened? Where is the carriage?" Chu Ci pointed to the empty road at the door.
Chunhua took a few deep breaths and said, "Master, Madam sent all the carriages away early this morning. Now there is not a single carriage in the mansion. That's fine, but there is not a single carriage on the streets nearby."
Chunhua panted heavily, holding up her skirt with one hand and patting her chest with the other, and asked breathlessly, "Master, what should we do next?"
Chu Ci turned around and looked into the mansion through the gate. She really didn't understand. They were all the same daughters, why was Chu Xiao the one who was loved by everyone, while she should be cut into pieces? What was her fault?
Although she didn't know, but after experiencing it for a lifetime, she couldn't say that she didn't care at all, but she was still able to let it go.
"It's okay. Since the Marquis's Mansion doesn't care about its reputation, then my Chu Ci's reputation is even less valuable. Let's go forward and see if we can find a carriage."
Just as Chu Ci was about to start walking, she saw a carriage coming towards her in the distance.
Chu Ci looked at Chunhua on the side, and Chunhua shook her head, indicating that she didn't know who it was.
Chu Ci didn't care anymore. The worst case scenario was that he had to walk there by himself.
As the carriage got closer and closer to her, Chu Ci saw clearly that it was Prince Rui's carriage. Chu Ci's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally let go. After all, she didn't want to walk there.
The carriage stopped beside them, Lin Feng opened the door curtain, and the face of King Rui appeared in front of Chu Ci, "Come up, I'll take you there."
Prince Rui stretched out his hand. Chu Ci glanced at the Marquis' Mansion, blinked, and handed his hand to Prince Rui. Prince Rui exerted force and pulled Chu Ci directly onto the carriage.
The two of them were sitting in the carriage. Chu Ci was too embarrassed to look up at King Rui, so he could only turn his head slightly and look outside.
Prince Rui looked at her like this, with no expression on his face.
But after a while, Prince Rui couldn't hold on any longer, "Is it really that beautiful outside?"
Chu Ci's face flushed, and he coughed twice awkwardly, "It's okay."
"Didn't the Marquis' Mansion prepare a carriage for you?" Prince Rui kept staring at Chu Ci.
The expression on Chu Ci's face froze for a moment. She didn't want to expose her most embarrassing incident in front of King Rui, but now, she had to expose her bloody wound in front of him.
"There's no carriage available." She had already used all her strength to say these few words.
Prince Rui seemed to sense Chu Ci's sadness and stopped asking questions.
As they were approaching the Princess's residence, Prince Rui couldn't help but warn, "Be careful later."
Chu Ci nodded without saying anything.
After entering the Princess's Mansion, Chu Ci followed Prince Rui down, bowed briefly to him, and then ran away.
Chu Ci found the garden where the eldest princess's banquet was held and took Chunhua to a corner to sit down.
This banquet was held separately for men and women, but they should be not far apart. I heard that this was held for the eldest princess to find a husband.
Her status was not high to begin with, and she found a place in a corner. Chu Ci thought that in this way, she would be able to attend the banquet very smoothly.
Chu Ci was sitting, drinking tea, when a little maid quietly walked up to her and asked, "Excuse me, is this young lady the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, Miss Chu Ci?"
Chu Ci heard the voice and looked up at the little maid.
The little maid, dressed as a maid in the Princess's mansion, was very respectful to her, so she asked, "I am. What can I do for you?"
The little maid lowered her head and spoke in a very steady voice, "My master wants to invite Miss Chu over. She said she has something to discuss with you."
Chu Ci observed the little maid carefully and didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Besides, she had never offended the eldest princess. To be exact, she didn't even know the eldest princess.
Chu Ci didn't think much about it, nodded, and stood up, "Then let's go quickly, don't let the princess wait anxiously."
Chu Ci followed the little maid while wondering what the princess could want to talk to her about.
But after walking for a long time and turning many corners, Chu Ci realized that something was wrong. The little maid took her to a more and more remote place and she could no longer see anyone.
She deliberately slowed down her pace and whispered to Chunhua behind her, "Do you remember the way here?"
Chunhua shook her head. She also realized that something was wrong, and her face was full of anxiety and worry.
Chu Ci went through the people he knew in his mind, wondering who could come to save him, but in the end only one figure was left.
She whispered to Chunhua, "Find a chance to slip away, and remember to go find Prince Rui and ask him to save me."
Chunhua was unwilling. She didn't want to be separated from her master and wanted to protect her, but she knew that the best thing to do was to seek help.
When passing the corner of the rockery, Chunhua slowed down by two steps, dodged and hid under the rockery.
As for Chu Ci, she followed behind the little maid. Looking at the flowers blooming on both sides of the road, Chu Ci picked a lot of petals and put them all in her sleeves.
