The Shadow Of Princess
Episode 7's

"Alright, if that's your request for the father to grant," all looked at the father in disbelief except for Zhang Chagyi and Li Wei.

"Your highness!?" their protest was in unison the father sipping the smiling tea.

"After all, Li Shuwang can take care of himself. Let it go."

The father looked at Zhang Chagyi who came out as he was done. Concubine Chang Jingmi also came out after parting ways with father.

"Son, there's something my father asked of you,” I stopped bribing looking at my father who looked serious. "Lately my father heard that Da Hang was attacked by Jiangshi. And there are many victims. Are you able to go there with Gong Duan and Zhang Chagyi?" ask father.

I coughed at the father's words quickly I gulped down some water.

"What's my daughter? You're not ordinary like this?" ask mother for confusion.

"No mother I'm fine,” said I smiled. Concubine Hua Shing's forehead wrinkled.

"Wouldn't it be Chang Jingmi's royal concubine?" asked the curious concubine Hua Shing who was taken by the father.

"I heard they have started to plunder the dominions of Wang Jian Li's kingdom,” said the father sighed.

"Then, what am I doing, father?" my many. Luan listened without any comment.

"Go over there and check out the truth of this news. If it is true to do your duty,” tell the father I embrace to obey.

"Okay father,” sahutku seriously. Does this have anything to do with Do Jian's fiancee? I'd better investigate more, my mind thinks hard.

It seems my job is increasing again. The ongoing war and mystery about Jiangshi. I'm massaging the temple.

....

"Huft, dull,” my chirps propped up my chin staring at the swaying grass and the birds chirping on the trees. I glanced at Do Jian who was standing not far from me. Now he's officially my personal bodyguard. "Do Jian, when bored what are you doing?" tanyaku.

"I usually go out daughter Li Shuwang,” my eyes sparkle that's a good idea. I smiled happily.

"Then accompany me out."

Do Jian's eyes were round in disbelief. "But, princess Li Shuwang you can be scolded by emperor Li Quin,” I shook my head.

"I have an idea. We're going undercover,” I'm going to snap a finger.

"But." I shook my head firmly.

"No, but change your clothes quickly. We must leave immediately,” my word rushes to the room humming cheerfully. Along the hallway of the palace I greet one and two ladies. I accidentally bumped into Zhang Chagyi. I bowed straight away. "Good afternoon second brother," Zhang Chagyi snorted.

"Don't be friendly with me. Get out of my way,” his cold tukas passed me just like that.

I looked at his back which was getting further away. "If only you could be nice to me even a little maybe I would be the happiest person,” I murmured.

....

I knocked on the table with my index finger waiting for Do Jian who had not yet appeared. I let out a breath.

"Princess sorry I was late,” he said making me look up then gasp at his appearance. Silvery mane and sapphire iris as well as a firm jaw do not forget the blue hanfu adds to its good looks. He was very different when wearing bodyguard clothes. "Princess Li Shuwang," he called out waving a hand awakening me from the daydream.

"Ah, I'm sorry I was daydreaming,” said I turned my face felt like my face was heating up and might change color. "Akh, we better leave soon before nightfall,” I continued standing stepping out. Do Jian followed me.

"Princess how to get out without the guards knowing?" i smile.

"Do Jian can you do magic?" Do Jian nodded I smiled.

"Then put them to sleep."

"What-what princess?" tanya Do Jian was flabbergasted.

"Yes, otherwise we won't be able to get out,” I said Do Jian nodded.

"Who are you?" ask them to brandish the guns as soon as we want to pass.

"I'm the lady that crown prince Li Luan told me,” I said they looked at each other in disbelief.

I elbowed Do Jian's arm. "What is the evidence if you are told by the crown prince Li Luan?" Do Jian approached him raising a clenched hand firmly.

Slowly, he opened it and then blew it slowly. Smoke covered us with our noses.

A few minutes later, the guards fell asleep. Do Jian nodded. I followed her from behind.

…

I inhaled the air and exhaled it slowly. "Finally, I can get out of here,” I said smiling.

"Did Li Shuwang's daughter never come out?" I looked up at the boy whose hair was blown by the wind. Do Jian turned my face away smiling.

"Well, for the daughter of an emperor I have to be perfect in every place and time. Sometimes I don't have time to have fun. Sometimes, when I'm relaxing, there's someone who's after me."

I remember what happened a while ago. When I went to Aunt Xu Fei's tavern with Luan's sister. I almost died on the spot if I didn't change. Then did not escape the incident a few days ago due to the actions of Do Jian. I took a long breath.

"I think being the most famous princess in the entire kingdom is a wonderful thing,” chirped Do Jian I chuckled.

"Do Jian let's go around I can't wait to go," I pulled Do Jian's hand around the night market. We bought snacks.

"Do Jian, open your mouth,” I give Do Jian's dipsum shook his head.

"Not let me alone,” his refusal made me pout.

"Of Do Jian you will today be my friend not my bodyguard. And one more don't call me Li Shuwang but Shuwang. Let's open your mouth!" Do Jian opened my mouth and inserted his mouth. I smiled as Do Jian looked away.

I turned to look at the twinkling lights illuminating the night market. Some people seem to enjoy the entertainment available.

"Do Jian, look!" I pointed at the lanterns that were falling in the sky. Do Jian looked up smiling.

"That's lantern. What princess want? He said that if we put it up later our request is granted”, Do Jian smiled.

I smiled a big smile. "Of course," Do Jian took me to one of the taverns that sold lanterns.

"Daughter Li.." I glared at him scratching his non-itchy head. "Princess Shuwang let's write your request,” I immediately write a request.

"May I be able to reconcile the empire without fighting and I hope to continue with you, Do Jian,”, I smiled and flew the lantern.

"Daughter, what did you write?" I smiled and then put my face to my lips.

"Secret" I said with a wink.

.....

The day that awaited me finally came I will go to the battlefield. Everyone has gathered. Mother approached her tears dripping.

"My prayers and blessings are with you,” said the mother. I smile.

"Thank you noble consort,” sahutku bowed.

My father approached me to give me a brownish old book. I stared in disbelief.

"Hawahanda, here.." Ayahanda smile.

"This will be useful during the trip later,” I hug father.

"Thank you father."

"Sir, we must leave immediately,” said Zhang Chagyi who I call. After, saying goodbye to our father, we left Wang Jian Li.
