Plotting for the world 2019 Waiting quietly for good news

  Yan Leng Palace, Tai Hui Hall.

  The sky was overcast, the cold air was increasingly biting and piercing to the bone. It seemed that a heavy rain or snow was about to fall. Although it was noon, the sky was dark as if night had just fallen.

  Inside the room, two oil lamps were lit on the table, and Yuan Wuyou was practicing calligraphy.

  Under the dim lamp light, a slender figure is faintly visible, and the person holding the pen exudes an otherworldly beauty that seems to be detached from worldly affairs.

  Yu Zhu stood by, unknowingly entranced. When the princess was young, everyone knew she was beautiful. Although she was still young and just a child at that time, now with each passing year, although her figure is still slightly slender and not yet fully developed, her skin as white as snow and jade, and her delicate and perfect facial features can live up to the phrase "beauty that can topple cities".

  The grown-up princess made her and Yu Cui, who had been serving day and night, look at each other in a daze if they were not careful. Recently, Yu Cui has been saying that if the princess can leave this cold palace one day, she will definitely make everyone stare with their eyes wide open, stunning the world.

  Yu Cui didn't say a word, but in her heart, she couldn't agree more.

  She and Yu Cui thought so, but the princess seemed to be unaware of her own beauty, or rather, she didn't care about her own beauty.

  It used to be that there was no way, and the princess had to wear the low-grade silk clothes distributed by the cold palace, but since this winter, the princess has been wearing high-quality brocade satin again. Not only that, but also the hairpins, jewelry, rouge, and powder sent by the inner palace are all complete, which are all tributes used by the various princesses and concubines in the harem.

  The princess never applied any makeup, with a naturally clear face, not only did it not detract from her beauty, but it also had a kind of ethereal and otherworldly charm, like an immortal fairy who had just descended to the mortal world.

  Just as Yu Zhu was absorbed in thought, the alert voice of Yu Cui in the courtyard startled her.

  "Why didn't Little Flower's husband come to deliver our meal to the palace?"

  Yu Cu's eyes were vigilant as she watched the small eunuch who came to deliver food to Yuan Wuyou, her brow furrowed as she asked: "Does the official look familiar?"

  It should have been Xiaohua who delivered the meal, but Xiaohua didn't come. Instead, a unfamiliar eunuch arrived, and judging by his age, he was not one of the newly appointed young eunuchs in the palace.

  The person who brought the meal smiled respectfully yet without fawning: "Greetings, young mistress. I am Xiao Xiangzi, a minor eunuch of the Cold Palace. Xiaohua is indisposed at the moment and has asked me to bring your meal in his place."

  Xiao Huāzi was fine when he delivered breakfast in the morning, so why did he get a stomachache by noon? Moreover, Xiao Huāzi would never hand over the princess's meal to anyone else except for that person being Xiao Gāozi.

  Yu Cui locked her brows as if she wanted to say something, when Yu Zhu walked out of the inner chamber, suspiciously staring at this little Shao Gong Gong for several eyes, before bowing slightly towards him: "The princess invites the public to enter the inner chamber."

  Xiao Xiangzi respectfully smiled with a hint of mischief in his eyes, but said nothing. He bowed to Yu Zhu and Yu Cui, then turned around and entered the inner chamber with the food box, ignoring Yu Cui's outstretched hand.

  Yu Cui was just about to follow when Yu Zhu shook her head at her.

  Yu Cui was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and retreated silently to the door, standing guard.

  Xiao Xiangzi walked into the inner chamber with his head down and body bowed, without hurrying to lift his head. He merely made a respectful bow: "Your humble servant Xiao Xiangzi pays respects to Your Highness."

  Yu Wuyou was still writing, the tip of his pen gliding lightly over the paper without any pause due to Xiaoxiangzi's arrival and voice.

  Until she had finished writing the last stroke, she elegantly put down her pen, moved away the paperweight, picked up what she had written and carefully examined it under the oil lamp. Then, with her eyes half-closed, she slowly opened them, and the clear, water-like eyes under her thin eyelashes looked straight at the person who came in.

  Xiao Xiangzi, who had always been walking with his head down and his body bowed, felt that as the carefree princess's gaze fell on him, inexplicably, a kind of invisible pressure seemed to spread out around him, causing his chest to tighten instinctively.

  Then, the soft and pleasant voice made his tightly closed chest open up again, and his heart was moved.

  "Please stand up."

  Xiao Xiangzi carefully lifted his head, but just happened to bump into a pair of clear and unblinking eyes staring straight at him. Under the gaze of those unwavering eyes, Xiao Xiangzi felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

  Until Yuan Wuyou faintly shifted his gaze away, Xiao Xiangzi quietly adjusted his disordered breathing.

  He respectfully walked forward and placed the food box on the table: "Princess, please have a meal." After finishing speaking, he respectfully retreated to one side without leaving.

  Yu Wuyou didn't look at him again, but instead gently blew on the paper in her hand to dry the ink. Only after the ink was completely dry did she fold them up and then lightly open the food box.

  Rumors had it that Xiao Xiangzi secretly raised his eyes to gaze at her, this wasn't the first time he saw Princess Wuyou, but in the past, they were always just distant gazes, never as close as this moment, face to face with such breathtaking beauty that seemed to stun one's soul. No wonder even the little eunuchs in the desolate Cold Palace often stared blankly, such beauty was wasted in this bleak and cold palace...

  The lunchbox is from the Imperial Palace's kitchen, and the meal was also prepared by the Imperial Palace's kitchen. The only difference is that there is an extra letter on top of the lunchbox that shouldn't be there.

  Looking at the letter, Yuan Wuyou's expression did not change in any way, as if he was not surprised or unexpected to see a letter appear in his lunchbox.

  Elegantly take out the letter, break open the wax seal and pull out the letter paper.

  She glanced at the contents of the letter, smiled faintly, and then, under Xiao Xiangzi's astonished gaze, she lit the letter with the oil lamp and turned it into ashes.

  "Reply to your master, don't worry and ask him to wait for good news."

  Xiao Xiangzi, who had been waiting quietly by the side, seemed to have finally reacted and bowed respectfully: "I'll take my leave."

  Xiao Xiangzi left, and Yu Zhu and Yu Cui both came in.

  Yu Wuyou stood in front of the window, pushed it open, and the sky outside seemed to have cleared up a bit compared to earlier, but the world still looked dull and gloomy.

  "Princess..."

  "Yu Zhu, go visit Xiao Huazi and tell him there's no need for self-blame. Ask him to come see me tonight."

  "Yes." Yu Zhu respectfully backed out.

  Yu Cu walked up to the table and looked at the food box on it. She hesitated for a moment, looking at the dishes inside: "This, Princess?"

  "Nothing's wrong, dinner is ready."

  Yu Cui's face still showed some worry, but the princess had said it was nothing to concern herself with, so she could only take out all the dishes from the food box and serve the princess lunch.

  ……

  Xiao Lizi reported the news from the cold palace to Prince Huai, but no matter how he looked at it, today's prince seemed a bit strange. What words could be used to describe him? For half a day, he couldn't think of suitable words to describe the feeling his own prince gave him, until now...

  Looking at Wang Ye's shining eyes and radiant expression, Little Li finally understood Wang Ye's mood today.

  Excited, yes, it's exactly this word!

  Since the year when Wang Ye fell into the lake and was rescued at the age of three, the former emperor had him serve the tenth prince. From the tenth prince to Prince Huai, from the imperial palace to the current Prince Huai's mansion, he has been serving by Wang Ye's side for eighteen years. He can be said to be more familiar with Wang Ye than anyone else. In these eighteen years, he has never seen an excited expression on Wang Ye's face.

  King Huai waved his hand, and Little Li retreated respectfully.

  King Huai excitedly supported the desk, leaning on the book couch, took out Yuan Wuyou's golden medal from his arms, and stared at it without blinking.

  Awaiting good news!

  Alright, Yuan Wuyou, I'd like to see just how capable you are. This is only the first test for you.

  I want this gold medal, let me be convinced and satisfied, otherwise I will destroy this gold medal and won't give it to you, don't disappoint me.

  In the quiet inner chamber, King Hui's laughter grew louder and louder until his laughter turned into violent coughing due to intense emotions.

  In the quiet inner room, laughter is like expectation, excitement, and ridicule!
