Chapter 2: Trouble at the Hunting Competition (1)
The banquet had long been over, and the palace had become quiet... Because she had just been crowned as a princess, Yinyin stayed in the palace... To Yinyin, all this seemed like a dream. Could it be a play in a TV series? If she woke up, would she find herself still sleeping on that huge Simmons bed?
——It’s late at night——
Yinyin couldn't sleep because she had a lot on her mind, so she went out for a walk... Compared to the lively scene during the day, the palace was quiet at night...
I don’t know how long I walked. It was fine during the day, but at night it was dark and I couldn’t see the direction clearly. Yinyin was lost...
"Where exactly is this place? If I had known the palace was so huge, I wouldn't have gotten lost after just a few steps!"
Looking at the completely unfamiliar environment around her, it was night time, and a cold wind blew. Yin Yin couldn't help but shiver... She hugged her arms and rubbed them!
Yin Yin continued to walk forward cautiously and fearfully. As she walked, she saw a faint light . Yin Yin thought that she was saved. She might be able to find someone to ask for directions if she went to a place with light.
So, Yin Yin walked towards the light...
Passing through the corridor, a palace? What is this place? Why is there no one guarding it? Is it that no one lives here? No, if no one lives here, there will be no lights. Yinyin went in without thinking too much. She seemed to have forgotten to look at the plaque on the front door of the palace, which read [Gyeongbokgung]...
After Yinyin walked in, she unexpectedly discovered that there were many green bamboos here... and a small pond, which was quite poetic... The further Yinyin walked inside, the brighter the lights became... This made Yinyin inadvertently speed up her pace... After passing the small garden and turning a corner, she reached the source of the lights...
However, just as she was about to reach the threshold, Yin Yin stopped... a voice came from the other side of the threshold...
"Now that she is a princess, what should she do next?" A female voice?
"So what if she's a princess? She will be mine sooner or later. All you have to do is think about how to win the favor of your royal brother." A male voice!
"We each have our own requests. We have to cooperate because you want that woman and I want to be the Crown Princess. We both have requests for help, so I hope you can be polite to me!" The female voice said arrogantly!
"Hmph, you should have some self-awareness. Don't forget that I am also a prince. You are just the daughter of the Grand Tutor, yet you dream of becoming the Crown Princess. This is already treasonous. Be careful that I accidentally mention it in front of my father or my brother. I'm afraid your position will only become more embarrassing then. So you'd better do whatever I say. You have no right to ask me for anything. Do you hear me?"
The male voice snorted and laughed, then said angrily...
Yin Yin quietly looked inside from the door and saw a man holding a woman. The problem was not here, but the content of their conversation. How could she explain it? Both voices were so familiar, and the owner of the voice, one was the second prince Zhou Yan ? The other, the beautiful woman she had seen during the day, was she the daughter of the Grand Tutor? What was going on? Why did she happen to hear it? And the content of the conversation...
"……Yes Yes!"
In response to Zhou Yan's anger, Ru Ting answered fearfully!
"Hmph!" Zhou Yan let go of Ru Ting's hand and turned around!
"...Please, what should we do next?" Ru Ting asked cautiously and fearfully!
"Although I have mentioned it to my father and mother, now in their eyes I am always inferior to my brother, and Yin Yin is so favored in their eyes. It seems that I have to use some means." Zhou Yan said!
"Then how do we do it?" Ru Ting asked!
"I have my own way, you go back first!" Zhou Yan said coldly!
"Yes! I'll take my leave!" Ru Ting bowed politely to Zhou Yan and stepped back!
Seeing Ru Ting leaving and walking towards Yin Yin, Yin Yin was in a hurry and didn't know where to go, so she had to hide first... After Ru Ting left, Zhou Yan also went back to his room... Yin Yin dared to come out, although she didn't know what was going on, but it was definitely not a good thing, Yin Yin fled the scene in a panic...
But back to the point, Yinyin still couldn't find the way back. Just when she was at a loss, a patrolling team of guards came from the front. They should be patrolling, but Yinyin ran up without thinking...
"Hey please!"
He spoke first before anyone even arrived!
"Uh, Miss Yinyin? No, it should be Princess Zhaoren!"
The leader should be the captain or something. In short, he has some status and looks okay, handsome and delicate!
"No need to be so polite. I'd like to ask where the Zhaoren Hall is?" Yin Yin asked quickly!
"...【Zhao Ren Hall】is in the completely opposite direction from here!"
The leader was surprised at first and then answered politely!
"Thanks!"
After learning the direction, Yinyin quickly went in the direction that the person said! The leader wanted to call her out, but held back. Looking at Yinyin's gradually receding back, he seemed to feel inexplicably sad.
"It's really rare. Miss Yinyin, no, it should be Princess Zhaoren, who didn't even greet Commander Shan when she saw him. She seemed like a stranger!" The guards behind her began to whisper to each other!
"Yeah, and he even called the commander 'Hey'. Did something happen between them?"
The guards behind him were talking to each other, and from what they said, it could be heard that the so-called Commander Shan they were talking about seemed to know Yin Yin?
“Ahem!”
The leader was named Shan Zhen, the commander of the imperial guards! He was so young to be the commander, which showed that he was very powerful. And did he know Yin Yin? Shan Zhen coughed twice as a warning, and sure enough, the guards immediately quieted down!
"Keep patrolling!"
"yes!"
After calming down, Shan Zhen and his team started patrolling again!
