see you tonight princess

Every September on Cangyi Mountain, the Zhaoyang Palace on the middle of the mountain will be repaired and refurbished, banners will be erected, and curtains with royal crests will be hung on the porches and halls.The successive kings of the Southern Dian Kingdom would go to Cangyi Mountain to hunt and sacrifice to heaven in September every year.

This Cangyi Mountain is the highest mountain in Southern Dian. Every year in early autumn, the green forest in the middle of the mountain is deep and quiet, with patches of red maple, dotted with clear and sweet streams and waterfalls. It is shrouded in mist in the morning and evening. It's like a fairyland.Snow began to accumulate on the top of the mountain, looking from afar as if in the clouds, majestic and majestic like no ordinary mountain.But at the foot of Cangyi Mountain, the flowers are still in full bloom, warm as spring, and even as hot as summer solstice.A mountain has experienced four seasons at the same time, and its products are rich, and the scenery of the four seasons is wonderful.

There are countless wonders and delicacies in this mountain, but the most fascinating thing is the numerous hot springs and cold springs in the mountain.And this hot spring where the cold spring and the hot spring meet under the cliff in the deep mountain is the most peculiar hot spring in the entire Cangyi Mountain.This hot spring pool is not big, surrounded by natural volcanic rocks, and the bottom of the pool is soft fine sand. The closer the water temperature is to the cold spring, the lower the temperature, and the closer to the hot spring side, the higher the temperature. Finally, it converges into a fusion of cold and warm. pool spa.

A pretty little court lady with a lily bun combed her hair, which was as smooth as satin, gently rolled it up, coiled it skillfully, and then fixed it with a black jade hairpin.She admired sincerely: "The princess's hair is so beautiful, it is as smooth as satin, and it is more comfortable to hold in the hand than the softest and smoothest satin."

The person who was praised had a calm expression. She didn't speak, but just pulled the tie of the red robe, allowing the robe to slide off her shoulders, revealing the ivory white gauze underneath.The little maid next to her tacitly took her robe and adjusted the wide sleeves of the gauze for her, Duan Lingge said softly, "Xiao'e, go down, I can do it alone. "

Xiao'e looked away from the princess's beautiful face, stuck out her tongue and came back to her senses. The eldest princess's face is so beautiful that even people like her who have been serving the eldest princess since she was a child will look at her. If you don't pay attention, you will be crazy.

The Eldest Princess has a very cold temperament, her expression is indifferent, but she naturally has a very magnanimous temperament.Her eyebrows are like the black color of distant mountains in the morning mist, her smooth forehead is full, and her eyes are bright and elegant.Her straight nose and red lips made her look extraordinarily delicate and gentle.

Her figure is slender, her shoulders are shaved, and her waist is as usual.When the long hair is rolled up, the protruding neck is exposed, the white skin is as white as the tip of a leaf, and the whiteness seems to melt into the fingertips, and it can be broken by blowing.

Such a beautiful woman has a noble temperament and elegant and charming every move. Standing in front of her, no one can resist her natural aura that grabs everyone's hearts.So Xiao'e sighed and thought, even a person like her who is always at the princess's side is hard to resist.

Xiao'e carefully held Duan Lingge's hand, and let her slowly immerse in the spring water. She saw that the hot spring was sprinkled with pink petals. When people dipped in, they could smell the faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed. peaceful.When Xiao'e heard the princess sending her down, she turned around and put the food box by the pool: "That's not okay, I still have to serve the princess for snacks and tea."

"No need. I need to get what I need. You go down and let me soak for a while." Duan Lingge said.

"But how can you rest assured that the princess is here alone? I'm going down. If the princess calls me for something, I have to walk for a while before I can come up." Xiao'e's crisp voice carried the unique charm of a girl.

This hot and cold spring is located in a very special location, with natural cliffs on three sides, and this hot and cold spring is located on a platform at the lower part of the cliff, and it can only go down to the flat road.Therefore, after this hot and cold spring was discovered and dedicated to the princess, it has been deeply loved by her, because this spring has an excellent view, overlooking a large area of ​​beautiful scenery on the high mountain, but at the same time it is extremely secretive.

Because no one can go up the cliffs on three sides, to get to the hot and cold springs from the foot of the mountain, one must climb a long section of stone steps dug along the mountain wall.You only need to send guards to guard the foot of the mountain, and you can enjoy the beauty of the spring water with confidence.

Duan Lingge smiled lightly: "With Lan Mo watching over you, why don't you worry about it?"

"But..." Xiao'e wrinkled her nose. The princess doesn't care about her own safety at all. Lan Mo is cautious and vigilant every day, and even she reminds her of fear. Only the princess is calm and calm, as if nothing happened.

"No, but. Go, I don't ring the bell to call you, so you don't have to come up to wait on me." Duan Lingge's tone was calm, with a gentle expression and even a faint smile, but Xiao'e knew that the eldest princess' words were irrefutable.

She had no choice but to sink a small rattan basket not far away, and said: "Then I will go down first. I will put this egg on the spring of the hot spring, and when the princess is rested and the hot spring eggs are cooked, the princess will go to the water." You can eat hot spring eggs.

"Go."

Duan Lingge sighed softly, and immersed her shoulders and neck in the water, leaving only the ripples that seemed to touch the surface of the water.Viewed from the side, the surface of the clear spring water is covered with steam, and the white gauze in the spring water is like a flower floating in the water. The graceful curve extends from Duan Lingge's lower jaw to her chin. Crystal drops of water lightly tap the surface of the hot spring from time to time.

Duan Lingge relaxed herself and began to meditate.She intentionally chose this time to leave Zhaoli City with her younger brother, and come to Zhaoyang Palace to hunt, and sure enough, Zhaoli City began to move frequently.The ten princes, who were determined to win the throne, took the opportunity to let spies from other countries enter the city, while the powerful minister Xia Mengfu frequently worked secretly to win over the courtiers. Presumably, he had planted a lot of his spies in the court.

Thinking of Xia Mengfu, Duan Lingge couldn't help reaching out and pinching his forehead.Three generations of the Xia family served as prime ministers in the South Dian Kingdom, and they were the largest of the major families in the South Dian Kingdom. Xia Mengfu himself was also the leader of the great families.

The Duan royal family has lost power for three generations, and has gradually become the puppet of the Xia family. However, the Xia family is full of talents, and Xia Mengfu is a combination of power and means. When her father was alive, he had never fought against Xia Mengfu in his life, and it was in her hands. , although the outcome is unknown, she also suffered a big loss in Xia Mengfu's hands.

Sometimes Duan Lingge had no choice but to comfort herself.Maybe she is not considered a "disadvantage". After all, others suffer from a lack of things, but she has more things.That "thing" is still Xia Mengfu's family's daughter.

People who are close to the center of power have a strong desire for profit, which can be seen.Xia Mengfu, for his own ambition and to consolidate his idiot daughter's position of eternal glory and wealth, went so far as to force her to marry a woman to be his son-in-law.

absurd!

However, perhaps there is nothing in the world that is more cost-effective than her loss. After all, she has suffered a lot, and there will be an extra living person!

Remembering that before going out, that idiot grabbed her by the sleeve and looked at her with joy, expecting her to take her out with eager anticipation on his face.No matter how much Lan Mo tried to persuade her, she refused to let go. In the end, Xiao'e stabbed her hands hard twice with the silver hairpin. Chi'er was so painful that her nose burst into tears, and then she let go of her robe sleeves. Only then was it possible to come out and enjoy this rare relaxation.

When Duan Lingge thought of this, her usually calm and self-possessed mind couldn't help becoming a little more irritable. She lowered her head in annoyance, and immersed her beautiful face in the hot spring water.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Xiao'e walked down the stone steps to the hot spring platform, and saw a tall figure at the foot of the mountain. The man was dressed in black, and his clothes were simpler and neater than ordinary women. He was not a man, but he had a heroic spirit that was not inferior to men.She stood upright not far from the steps to guard, and the guards she brought also stood upright.

Xiao'e stepped forward and said, "Lan Mo, why are you standing there stupidly, take a rest, the princess will be up there for a while, you don't know how to be flexible."

"I must guard the princess well." Lan Mo said in a strict tone, "I can't relax at all."

Xiao'e sighed: "Oh, yes. It doesn't feel peaceful. Let me tell you, my eyelids twitched when I went out early in the morning. Lan Mo, do you think something will happen?"

Lan Mo didn't speak, but turned to look at Xiao'e.Xiao'e quickly slapped herself on the mouth: "Bah, bah, what are you saying is unlucky."

However, what to say.At this time, a guard ran over from a distance, hurriedly saluted and then hurriedly reported: "Commander Lan, when we were patrolling the mountain, we found this thing on the cliff five battles above the ground."

The guard handed over a blue ribbon.Lan Mo took a look, and Xiao'e exclaimed, "Ah, this is Xia Chi's hairband—uh, Xia Chi's!"

"Indeed, there is the seal of Xia's family on the ribbon." Lan Mo said with a stern expression, "Here comes Xia's son-in-law!"

"Oh, that idiot must have come here after the princess. The Xia family is also daring, and dared to follow the princess's itinerary, so she chased her here!" Xiao'e stomped her feet angrily.

It can't be blamed on her arrogating her identity and talking about the son-in-law as a court lady. It is really Xia's father, Prime Minister Xia, who has all the power in the court, so he doesn't take the princess seriously, and bullies others too much.The son-in-law is a born idiot, obviously a child at heart, but Prime Minister Xia blindly indulges her to do whatever she wants, no matter what she wants to do, no matter how much she violates the royal rules, Prime Minister Xia bullies the royal family, dares not speak out against him, dares to do anything .

Now it must be time to go out in the morning, the princess would not let the idiot son-in-law come with her, so those dogs around the son-in-law inquired about the princess's itinerary, and then boldly sent her here.

"Report... Commander Lan! I found Xia Shizi's servant next to him on a cliff, and he has been killed!" Another guard came to report.

"No! There are assassins! Go and search for the son-in-law. Protect the princess." Lan Mo quickly ordered, and then quickly ran up the steps. She was going to the hot spring platform to protect the princess.

"I'll go too!" No one else was allowed to go up that platform, only Lan Mo and her could go up.Xiao'e followed quickly.

At the same time, when Duan Lingge raised his head from the water, he saw a person falling from midair!

"what--"

The man let out a loud cry in mid-air.

Duan Lingge was surprised by such a strange scene.Because there is a cliff above this hot spring, how do people go up?Besides, even if it fell from a cliff, why didn't it follow the cliff, but it seemed to fall from the sky.

Moreover, people who fall from a high place usually start to scream out of panic from the second of the fall. Why did this person fall from mid-air without a sound, and only screamed suddenly at the last moment?

When you think about it, you have to think about it, but in fact it is nothing more than what happened in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Duan Lingge only had time to quickly avoid the person who fell from the cliff.However, the impact was too great, and Duan Lingge only had time to whisper softly: "Yeah——"

In the next instant, Duan Lingge was surrounded by a huge impact force, and the falling person crashed into his arms, and the two of them crashed into the spring water together. ?
