Chapter 100 Trapped in a Fantasy World
Hearing this voice, Xie Liuyin's originally confused mind instantly became clear.
She sat up suddenly, turned her head and saw clearly the person who came to wake her up.
The woman was wearing a light pink palace dress, and her attitude towards her was very humble and obviously respectful.
Seeing her looking at her, the woman immediately lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness, it's time to get up. Today is your twelfth birthday, and His Majesty and His Majesty are waiting to celebrate with you."
Hearing this, Xie Liuyin's eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
She tried to calm down, followed the guidance of the woman who was obviously a palace maid, got out of bed and sat in front of the dressing mirror.
After seeing the face in the mirror that didn't resemble his own at all, Xie Liuyin completely understood that he was trapped in an illusion.
And if her guess was correct, this illusion was most likely about those murals.
It was probably that the sudden appearance of so much thick fog in the hall was a sign that they were being pulled into an illusion.
I just don’t know what’s happening with the rest of the people. Are they pulled into the same illusion, or are they scattered in different illusions?
Since he had no idea what this illusion was trying to do, Xie Liuyin decided to sit back and wait to see what would happen next.
Following the call from the pink-dressed palace maid, palace maids continued to come in carrying basins, clothes, jewelry and other items.
Xie Liuyin glanced at the things they were holding in their hands and sighed that they were worthy of being princesses, living such a luxurious life.
She saw clearly that the dress was decorated with many large and beautiful gems.
The palace maids moved very quickly, and Xie Liuyin was like an unconscious doll from beginning to end, allowing them to manipulate her.
In a moment, a little princess as rich and beautiful as a peony appeared in the mirror.
Xie Liuyin took a few glances and thought that the princess was really beautiful.
In fact, her disguise was not very successful. After all, Xie Liuyin didn't say a word the whole time. According to common sense, the palace maids serving the little princess would have noticed something was wrong a long time ago.
But they didn't react at all, as if all their actions had been planned in advance. As long as Xie Liuyin didn't resist, things would go on.
Realizing this, Xie Liuyin vaguely guessed that this illusion was probably not that sophisticated, so no matter how the person trapped in the illusion behaved unlike the original princess, it would not cause any reaction from other people in the illusion.
After thinking this through, Xie Liuyin took action immediately when it was time to go out.
She shook off the hand of the palace maid that was supporting her, ripped off the hairpin on her head, took off the cumbersome outer clothes, and ran away in a random direction.
But after Xie Liuyin ran out of a door, her head suddenly became dizzy again. When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the bed.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up." A familiar female voice sounded in my ears.
Xie Liuyin sat up suddenly, poked her cheek with her tongue, and simply ignored the palace maid, stood up suddenly and ran out of the bedroom.
This time she ran faster, and kept trying to circulate her spiritual power. Unfortunately, she couldn't sense her spiritual power in the illusion, so she could only pull on her coat and walk around.
This time, Xie Liuyin had just run out of the bedroom for a short while when he felt dizzy again and returned to the bed.
After trying twice, Xie Liuyin vaguely discovered that the repetition of the illusion had nothing to do with time. As long as she went against the little princess's original route of action, the illusion would start over again after a quarter of an hour.
Xie Liuyin thought about it and decided to try again.
This time she did not go through the door, but climbed directly onto the roof of the bedroom and memorized the layout of the palace complex as quickly as possible for next use.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up." The palace maid's voice woke Xie Liuyin up. She rubbed her head and got up.
"I've seen you so many times, but I still don't know your name." Xie Liuyin tilted her head to look at the young palace maid.
The other person has a very steady personality and is very good at taking care of the little princess. She should be the little princess's aunt in charge.
This time the maid finally spoke to her: "Your Highness, you are making fun of me again. Didn't you change my name yourself? You also said that the two characters Qinghe are very suitable for me."
When talking about this past event, the palace maid's face, which had always been serious, also showed a hint of smile.
It seems that she has a very good relationship with the little princess, and the relationship between the two should be quite warm.
Xie Liuyin continued to ask: "What is the schedule for today's birthday party, and who will be coming?"
"Alas, Your Highness, why did you forget again? Let me tell you again. Today is your birthday, and His Majesty and His Majesty specially set up a banquet for you in the Imperial Garden. But didn't you say before that you don't like too many strangers? So His Majesty and His Majesty invited only our family members."
"The Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be present, and your maternal grandfather's family has also entered the palace. By the way, the Empress Dowager has also specially invited Master Jiekong from the Miaofa Temple to pray for you."
"Master Jiekong has profound Buddhist knowledge and is a highly respected monk. It is said that he had been traveling around and recently returned to Miaofa Temple. Many people heard about this and went to meet him, but they never got to see him."
The maid named Qing He smiled with pride: "I didn't expect that our queen would invite this master here. I believe that with his blessing for His Highness, His Highness will surely grow up safely and everything will go smoothly."
Qing He's words were full of praise for Master Jie Kong, but when Xie Liuyin recalled the story depicted on the mural, he became secretly alert.
No matter who painted the mural, just by looking at the way the story was portrayed, one can tell that person had ill will towards the little princess.
After all, in the other party's writing, this little princess is a villain who killed her brother to seize the throne and abducted men from the people.
If Master Jiekong really had such great abilities, then why did the little princess' life become so unsuccessful after he prayed for her?
It seems that either Jiekong failed to pray for the little princess for some reason, or Jiekong's ability was fake and his prayers had no effect at all.
Thinking of this, Xie Liuyin became more curious about the upcoming banquet.
Fortunately, Qinghe didn't make Xie Liuyin wait too long. After she put on the complicated and heavy outfit again, she was surrounded by a group of palace maids and left her bedroom.
Led by the palace maids, Xie Liuyin bypassed several hanging flower gates and walked through a long corridor before she could vaguely see the shadow of the imperial garden.
Before she arrived, she heard laughter from afar.
When Qing He heard the noise, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness is late. Most of your guests have already arrived."
Xie Liuyin raised his eyebrows slightly and let her support him into the banquet.
As soon as they stepped into the banquet, those who were originally chatting stopped talking instantly and all turned their eyes to Xie Liuyin.
Two of them caught Xie Liuyin's attention, one was an old monk wearing a cassock, and the other was a young and handsome monk sitting next to him.
It seems that this is the monk that the princess fell in love with at first sight.
