Chapter 1386: Princess 1385’s Request
Tan Rou and her companions followed Princess Samiyi to a place, and the deeper they went, the more abundant the trees and ponds became, naturally making it cooler.
Samiyi said, “This is my resting place, it’s a bit simple, I hope you, honored guests, won’t mind.”
Shang Jin immediately responded, “Thank you for hosting us, Princess. This place is already very nice, much cooler than the hotel we stayed in last night.”
Princess Samiyi apologized, “I’m really sorry. We should have had someone outside to meet you last night, but due to the palace’s rule of locking up after seven o’clock, we couldn’t let you in. You could only rest in the hotel for the night.”
Shang Jin muttered, “Luckily, we didn’t see the inside of the palace last night. Otherwise, we might have had to explore the palace under the moonlight.”
Samiyi didn’t catch what Shang Jin was saying. She asked, “Miss Shang Jin, what did you say?”
The translator conveyed her words to Shang Jin, and after listening, Shang Jin replied, “I was saying that the palace is really beautiful. It’s a loss that we couldn’t visit it last night.”
Indeed, it was a loss. If they had visited the palace last night, it certainly wouldn’t have been so hot.
“You can’t visit the palace at night,” Princess Samiyi said. “After seven o’clock, all the doors are locked, and only the patrolling guards can move around in the palace.”
Shang Jin was just speaking casually; she wasn’t interested in visiting the palace at night. She just wanted to complete her mission and return home quickly. But given the current circumstances, their return home might be quite troublesome.
Princess Samiyi arranged seats for everyone, and she specifically placed Tan Rou next to herself, planning to have Tan Rou tell more stories about high-speed trains and airplanes.
Hearing stories a thousand times is never as good as experiencing it yourself once. Tan Rou hoped that Princess Samiyi would take a ride on a plane and a high-speed train to experience their speed.
Princess Samiyi was so engrossed in listening that she accidentally tilted the floral tea cup in her hand, and then the brown-gray floral tea soaked into Tan Rou’s clothes.
Shan Rou was wearing a white short-sleeved blouse, which was ruined by the brown-gray floral tea.
“I’m really sorry!” Princess Samiyi immediately apologized. “I really didn’t mean to dirty your clothes. Please don’t be angry; I’ll take you to change right now.”
Tan Rou waved her hand, “No need, it’s just a bit of floral tea. I can wash it off with detergent when I return.”
Princess Samiyi said, “No, I can’t let you go out in dirty clothes. I happen to have a few new sets of clothes in my room that I haven’t worn; you can wear one of them.”
Her height and weight were similar to Tan Rou’s, so her clothes would fit Tan Rou.
Although Tan Rou had her own clothes, there was no need to wear someone else’s, but all her clothes were at the hotel.
Princess Samiyi insisted on taking Tan Rou to change clothes, and Tan Rou, unable to refuse, followed Princess Samiyi to change.
Once they reached the dressing room, Princess Samiyi calmed down quite a bit, and the smile that was always on her face disappeared.
“Now that we are in a place without others, I can stop the pretense,” Princess Samiyi, with a pained expression, said, “The tea I spilled on you earlier was on purpose. Here, I must apologize to you.”
Tan Rou didn’t mind, “It’s okay, I think you must have had your reasons.”
“Yes,” nodded Princess Samiyi. “I wanted to talk to you alone but couldn’t find a way to get rid of them, so I had to use this method.”
Tan Rou asked, “What did you want to talk to me about?”
Princess Samiyi asked Tan Rou a difficult question, “Could you help me leave J country?”
“What?” Tan Rou thought she had misheard. “You want to leave J Country? Why?”
Princess Samiyi answered, “The palace is like a huge cage, and I’ve lived inside it for 32 years, but now I no longer want to stay. Hearing you talk about high-speed trains and airplanes, I realized how wonderful the outside world is! So I want to go out and explore it.”
