He rubbed his swollen temples and knocked his head with a grin.
"Hey, why do I feel like I forgot something? What was it?"
Just as he was thinking hard, Tao Xi called him to have dinner.
Mr. Huang had drunk a lot of wine yesterday and was really hungry now. He put on his boots and went to eat impatiently. As for the doubts that flashed through his mind after waking up, he threw them out of his mind.
"Master Huang, can you really find my princess?" Tao Xi asked vaguely while gnawing on a piece of meat bone.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed." Master Huang Dashi shook his head and stroked his white beard, looking like a typical charlatan.
Tao Xi sighed secretly in her heart, thinking that her prince had gone insane and couldn't even see through such a simple scam.
After the princess died, the prince decided to travel to the border to look for her. He dismissed all the slaves and kept only Tao Xi.
Li Heng handed her the key to the palace gate and said, "Guard the palace well. When I find Xingyao, I will take her home with me."
Taoxi waited anxiously in the palace, thinking that the prince was dreaming, but she couldn't help dreaming too.
She felt that the best person in the world was the princess, and then the imperial concubine.
Tao Xi felt a warmth she had never felt before from both of them.
The princess treated her not like a master and servant, but often looked upon her as a younger sister. Such favor could not be found in many cases throughout the entire Taifeng Dynasty.
After Ji Xingyao died, Tao Xi cried for three whole months.
It’s not that she didn’t resent the prince, but she was just a slave after all, so she had to hide her resentment deep in her heart and never let anyone find out.
Tao Xi had assumed that she would be dismissed by the prince like the others, her fate either to find a new family to work for or to marry any random man.
Unexpectedly, the prince kept her and gave her the management power of the palace.
Tao Xi was confused for a long time, until the prince took his elite troops to the border for several days, Tao Xi finally came to her senses.
From then on, she stayed in the palace with peace of mind, diligently taking care of everything in the palace, and looking forward to the prince bringing the princess home as soon as possible.
This time the prince came back suddenly. He didn't bring the princess with him, but instead brought a Taoist priest who looked like a liar.
Master Huang was dressed in a yellow Taoist robe and had a flowing white beard. He should have had the appearance of an immortal, but he loved wine and meat and was drunk most of the day.
Tao Xi complained in her heart but did not dare to say it out loud, so she treated him to delicious food and wine every day.
After Huang Dashi had his fill, he took Tao Xi to chat.
"Little girl, do you know that besides the Taifeng Dynasty, there is another world that we cannot see."
Tao Xi shook her head sincerely: "I don't know."
"Hey, do you want to know what the parallel world looks like?"
"Parallel world?" This was the first time Tao Xi had heard the term: "What does parallel mean?"
Huang Dashi, satiated and drowsy under the warm sun, squinted his eyes and thought, "Suppose the capital is a world, and we all live here. Then the city ten miles away is another world. Two worlds exist simultaneously, yet have no intersection, and are even unaware of each other's existence. These are parallel worlds."
Tao Xi was confused: "Master, what do you mean, the princess comes from another world?"
"Yes~"
Tao Xi thought for a moment and asked, "The princess has returned to her original world. Does this mean that she has returned to her true home?"
Huang Dashi was stunned by Tao Xi's question: "Maybe."
"What if the princess is living happily in her own world and you disturb her and ruin her life?"
......
“Ah…” Huang Dashi stretched and began to look away: “Why am I so sleepy? I… am going to sleep.”
After saying this, Master Huang slipped away as if he was escaping.
"He can eat and sleep like a pig. How can the prince believe that he is a master?" Tao Xi pouted and muttered while cleaning up the dishes.
