Chapter 390 Princess's Skirt 36
Chapter 390 Princess's Skirt 36
At this time, the little princess, who was still unaware of the great changes in the capital, was picking flowers on her own farm and heading southeast, leisurely seeing the distant mountains.
The flowering period of forsythia is coming to an end, and the buds of camellia, peach blossom and gardenia are beginning to compete for the beauty of spring.
Gu Li took Feixue and Caiyi for a stroll in a small wood in the countryside. Whenever she saw beautiful unknown wild flowers, she would bend down and pick one or two, put them in the wreath she had woven, and then put it on Caiyi's head.
Behind her, not too far away, followed Mo Yun in black, looking particularly abrupt. Gu Li curled her lips. If it weren't for Mo Yun's amazing skills, which gave her a sense of security, Gu Li would not want to bring him along.
Oh, if possible, she didn't even want to bring Caiyi and Feixue.
In fact, she couldn't. Caiyi and Feixue had completely spoiled her, and she was used to being served by the maids.
Anyway, she has enough money, so just keep them all.
As early as when he asked Mo Yun to deliver the tiger talisman to Li Luan, Gu Li had planned to leave Jingjing City.
When Mo Yun came back and learned that the tiger talisman had been successfully delivered to Li Luan, Gu Li picked up her small package and was about to leave.
There were only a few sets of home clothes for her to change into and a thick stack of banknotes in the bag; she didn't bring any beautiful dresses.
How could her actions be hidden from Caiyi, who was responsible for her dressing?
Under Caiyi's earnest pleading, Gu Li had no choice but to take her with her.
The two of them were caught up by Feixue before they could even leave the backyard corner door with their bags. They were forced to add another person to their team.
The two of them didn't care why the princess packed her bags and ran away, they just wanted to follow the princess.
They are wherever the princess is.
After leaving the house, the three people went to the temporary accommodation in the capital city that Gu Li had arranged in advance for the vegetable farmers, waiting to leave the capital city with the vegetable farmers' carts.
The three of them rode on a farmer's cart, swaying away from the towering walls of the capital, heading for the farmer's village. From time to time, they encountered soldiers galloping on horseback, and the war inside and outside the capital was about to break out.
Once the war started, Gu Li and her two servants might not be able to bypass the battlefield to reach her destination for the time being, it was too dangerous. So they could only plan to hide in the nearby countryside and make plans after everything was settled.
Just as Gu Li was weighing the pros and cons, a green horse-drawn carriage caught up from behind.
The person driving the car was Mo Yun.
Gu Li pulled the corner of her mouth, feeling somewhat helpless. How could she get rid of Mo Yun? He was her personal guard.
I don't know when he started following her, and now even the carriage is ready for her.
Under Mo Yun's escort, the group bypassed the melee outside the western suburbs of the city and headed towards Princess Chenxiang's fiefdom.
Princess Chenxiang's fief was in Chenxiang County, Shuzhong.
This place was not originally called this name. It was only because the princess's title was Chenxiang that Emperor Wuchang changed the name of this place to Chenxiang.
It can be seen how much Princess Chenxiang was favored by the emperor.
There was another reason why Gu Li chose to settle down in this village surrounded by mountains and rivers. Caiyi's home before entering the palace was in the next county.
This place is very close to Caiyi's home.
Gu Li wanted to let Caiyi go home, which was also a way to repay this girl's loyalty. Caiyi's arm was injured, and although she was healed by the imperial physician, when the weather turned cloudy and rainy, Caiyi's arm was so painful that she couldn't lift it.
It can be seen how hard Fatty Xia threw him.
"Princess, we have been out for so long, don't you want to go back?" Over the past few days, Caiyi has figured out that the princess is determined not to return to the capital.
"I'm not going back. What's so good about the capital?" By this time, Li Luan should have successfully entered the palace.
Even if he didn't succeed, there was nothing Gu Li could do.
"Cai Yi, you've been in the palace for so many years. Do you miss home? I'll give you some money and let you go back to reunite with your family!"
Caiyi thought about it and replied, "Okay!"
Gu Li looked back at Cai Yi in surprise. Did she agree so readily? She was still thinking about the relationship between master and servant over the years. She was not afraid of danger and followed him to escape from the capital. She must not want to leave him.
"you----"
Caiyi raised her hand and touched the wreath on her head, smiling and saying, "I really don't want to leave you, Princess, but it's definitely not okay for us to live in the manor without knowing why. Princess, you are so beautiful, and sooner or later you will attract some people to covet you."
They are just living here temporarily under the guise of maids released from a wealthy family in the capital.
If you want to settle here, this title is obviously not enough.
The princess's food, clothing and other expenses would easily be discovered by others. They were carrying a large amount of money. With only one guard, I'm afraid they couldn't protect her.
Money moves people's hearts.
The countryside is not full of simple farmers.
Cats have their ways, mice have their ways. Caiyi, who has lived in the countryside, knows how unscrupulous those who struggle to make ends meet have.
"When I return home, I will protect the princess as her personal maid. If anyone wants to reach out here to touch my best friend, I will report to the princess's mansion and chop off their hands." The country people had no idea about the specific situation in the capital, and they were only afraid that she had the backing of the princess's mansion.
After Caiyi followed the princess out of the palace and into the princess's mansion, she would often write letters or bring things back home. Everyone in her family knew that she was blessed to be able to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess, and her fame in the town had long been spread by her family.
I felt embarrassed before, but now she is taking advantage of this opportunity.
Even if she returns home now, who knows whether she still has one or two good sisters in power in the capital after so many years.
Caiyi's identity is enough to make her a powerful figure in this remote countryside.
Gu Li burst out laughing.
"I didn't expect Caiyi to be so powerful!"
Feixue said with a smile: "This is called the fox borrowing the power of the tiger to bully others!"
"Princess! Look at Feixue, she-----"
Gu Li covered her lips and said, "Okay, okay, then Feixue and I will stay here peacefully. Thank you Miss Caiyi for taking care of us."
In fact, without Caiyi's painstaking efforts, if one carefully calculated the time, it would only take her less than a year.
By then, this body of hers will decay and die, and San Liang will take her away from here.
Let Caiyi go home, find a reliable person for Feixue, and let Moyun go free. The remaining banknotes were divided equally among the three of them.
This was her final plan for them.
"Princess, don't you blame me for being disrespectful and impersonating the princess and bullying others?"
Gu Li took Cai Yi's arm and walked in the direction they came from. "Haven't you guys committed crimes enough? Otherwise, how could you and Fei Xue be here?"
"Princess!"
"I have long regarded you as my sisters and my family." While saying this, Gu Li also glanced at Mo Yun not far away.
There were only three of them around, and Gu Li didn't try to lower her voice. People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, so they heard every word.
"Now that we're both out, we can call each other sisters from now on. Don't call me princess anymore. Call me Gu Li instead!"
"That won't work, let's just call Miss!"
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the three women who were relying on each other into long, and they slowly walked towards the courtyard in the distance where smoke was curling up.
