Chapter 651 - I dont want to be the Princess. (1/2)

Tan Xiu suddenly stood off the chair and looked at the girl with determined expressions.

Yu Ju stared at her Miss in hesitation and wondered what she was planning now.

” Miss..what happened?”

Tan Xiu took a deep breath and said, ” I am not going to leave everything as it is. I have to tell him. Even if he hasn't said anything to me and never showed interest in me….I can't assume that he doesn't feel anything for me.”

Yu Ju pursed her lips and stared at Tan Xiu's determined expressions.

” But Miss... you're a girl. How can you say something like this? What if Commander Yuan thinks lightly of you because of your hasty actions?”

She stared at her Miss and wondered why she was making her life hard. If things got out, it won't harm Yuan Song in any way, but she will be the one taking blame and taunts of everyone.

” Miss, I think you should relax and consider your dec….Miss..” before she could complete her words, Tan Xiu dashed out of the room.

Yu Ju sighed and followed behind her.

Tan Xiu became wary as soon as she stepped out of her chamber. Her steps became slow as she looked around and tried to pretend to be casual.

” Princess Tan Xiu” she stopped in her steps when the pavilion guard stopped her.

She nodded and was about to step out when the guard stretched his hand out in front of her and said, ” Princess, His Majesty has said that you can't go out of the palace.”

She gritted her teeth and said, ” I am not going somewhere. I am just going into the main garden to get some air. My maid is going with me.”

” But Princess…” the guard hesitated but shut up seeing her stern gaze.

” Don't forget that I am the Princess. My father has asked you to guard me not cage me in the palace. ” She stared at him with a determined gaze which scared him and he made a way for her to leave.

Tan Xiu breathed out in relief and left the pavilion with Yu Ju following behind.

She carefully avoided getting noticed but she stopped when she reached the main gate of the palace. She swallowed hard seeing all the guards standing there.

She knows that they won't let her go out easily since she was not allowed to go anywhere outside the palace. She has been under scrutiny before as well but after her father has broken the news of the marriage arrangement to her, things have become stricter than before.

She glanced at Yu Ju and smiled. They were hiding behind a tree and watching over the guards from far away.

Yu Ju sighed as she understood that once again she has to sacrifice herself for Tan Xiu's secret mission.

…..

Tan Xiu was laughing as she looked at Yu Ju who helped her get out of the palace. They were now walking on the road, as they just got out of the palace.

To help her out, Yu Ju acted as she was walking towards the guards and pretended to fall and sprain her leg. Seeing she fell, all the guards ran to help her.

After all, she is a beauty among all the maids. Keeping all the guards busy around her, she signaled Tan Xiu to get out.

That's how they were able to get out of the palace once again.

” Yu Ju, I am so glad that I got you as my maid.” She laughed loudly as she cannot forget the scene where all the guards were on their toes around her.

Yu Ju frowned and said, ” Miss, lower your voice. What if someone hears you? Keep your image in mind.” She made gestures to keep her hushed.

Tan Xiu shook her head and said, ” Don't worry. No one knows me here. They just recognize my Father. I am a hidden Princess who has spent her whole life behind the wall of the palace. Common people can't recognize me.” She waved her hand and asked her to not worry.

Yu Ju sighed and felt relieved seeing her cheerful attitude again. She thought that if they couldn't meet Commander Yuan today, they would go back to the palace after eating some street delicacies.

After all, this is something they can't eat in the palace.

” Miss, see, they have big buns over there. They look so delicious.” She tried to divert Tan Xiu's attention with delicious food.

But Tan Xiu ignored her words and looked around the market. Her heart turned heavy as she couldn't find him anywhere.

Yu Ju sighed and said, ” Miss, I don't think he will come here today. The few times when you met him in the market was because he just left the palace. Do you think you will find him here?”

” It's not that he is waiting for you at the market.” She scoffed seeing how naive her Miss is. They don't know where he lives and she left the palace to meet him without knowing his whereabouts.
