Waiting is an annoying activity for anyone to do, including Xiu Qixuan.
It's dull.
The clockwork seconds continued to roll, but, there was no sign of the arrival of their two servant girls.
The bridal class was over twenty minutes ago. Several horse carriages belonging to the previously parked candidates were also seen moving to queue out the palace gates.
"Su Yiyang!"
Leaning a little, Xiu Qixuan cried out loudly in Su Yiyang's ears.
His heart started to feel uneasy as Xiao Rou and Jiajia did not return. But, Su Yiyang who was on the other side of his seat even closed his eyes by propping up his sleepy face.
Su Yiyang's body immediately jerked straight. He slit his ears itching as he said with a flash of annoyance: "Whisper! You just surprised me!"
"Let's get down! We'll pick up Xiao Rou and Jiajia now!" Xiu Qixuan said in a serious tone.
Su Yiyang frowned both of his eyebrows. "Why? Let's just wait a minute. They might be on their way here" he said, not bothering.
Xiu Qixuan tapped her fingers, she spoke flatly: "It's been too long to keep waiting. There must be something keeping them stuck."
With a slight snort, Su Yiyang casually retorted: "You're too serious. Aren't you the one who trusted your servant's disguise so much? Where did your confidence suddenly go?"
Xiu Qixuan looked over. He put on a cold face that hid the unease. "It's up to you to come or not" she said.
It was not that he no longer trusted Xiao Rou's abilities. But, at the moment they are in palace—a place that many things happen beyond expectations. Perhaps Xiao Rou could handle the difficulty in disguise, but, it was not impossible to say that Jiajia could not go through all that.
Xiu Qixuan immediately got up and jumped down from the horse carriage.
"Tch, hey Xiu Qixuan! Wait a minute, stupid! You didn't see, huh? I've already wiped all my makeup off. At least help me put on some more makeup." Su Yiyang screeched with a scowl did not accept being left behind just like that.
The special makeup of the disguise consists of several main things, namely clothing, makeup and facial skin color, and habits and certain traits of the person they want to replace. In some special operations, Xiu Huanran's underground organization can make people as similar as possible. It was from there that Xiu Qixuan could learn so many tricks that it did not leave a gap.
He did disguise himself in this palace not without reason. On the one hand, he was indeed lazy to take a tricking class for those women. But, coincidentally Su Yiyang was involved and the girl he used to get more information regarding the particular situation in the inner palace.
Of course his main goal was Shen Zhenning. But that bastard was an emperor of the country. It's become very difficult.
••••••••••••••••
Stepping through the long palace corridor. Xiu Qixuan's face lowered its head respectfully to adjust the rhythm of her disguise to become a servant.
His occasionally moving eyes made sure not to miss the existence of Xiao Rou and Jiajia.
Turn right to head towards the large hall. Xiu Qixuan could see a bit of the rest of the crowd was crowding. From a distance of several meters, he could hear the sound of a feud.
"Hey girl Su! You're so thick-faced!"
"Does allergies make you unable to open your mouth?!"
"Ninth sister, calm yourself. Let's go back first!"
"With this kind of childish manner will only make father increase your punishment, ninth sister!"
"Take your own job like you used to do, you're so good at looking up to dad, fifth brother."
"Due to your attitude and words, ninth sister!"
"Your highness prince, Miss Su is not in a good body condition. I'm afraid this can transmit diseases to your body that are very valuable. Sure, you can come to see him again later."
Spontaneously Xiu Qixuan's footsteps came to a halt, she saw from behind the corridor pillar, Jiajia was looking down in fear behind Xiao Rou's frail body.
Judging from this situation, Xiu Qixuan could tell that Shen Wanqi had come to settle his fighting token with Su Yiyang.
It seemed that Xiao Rou had also reached the limit of being overwhelmed to make excuses in her words for the childish prince to understand.
It's not very good, it gives him a headache. Jiajia who did not behave like Su Yiyang could also make all of their disguises shatter in an instant.
Xiu Qixuan's eyes blinked straight. He tried to turn his brain calmly because he could not come to interrupt the feud ahead there rashly. He involuntarily looked at the one foreign figure who was next to Shen Wanqi, a figure who had been trying to stop the commotion from the start.
The figure had the features of a firm and handsome face, behind the pitch-black eyes was a sharpness and seriousness that made people burn charred.
The expensive clothes he wore were embroidered with embroidery from experts. The sword draped around his waist made him look dangerous yet brilliant together. He created an incredible atmosphere with just his presence.
This was the vice commander of the capital's guard, His Highness the Fifth Prince, Shen Zongshun. Wei Guifei's favorite son.
"Yeah, Qixuan!" Someone patted his shoulder rough. "Why are you silent like a fool here? Where are Jiajia and Xiao Rou?"
Xiu Qixuan's expression glared. Without turning her head she knew that the annoying voice belonged to Su Yiyang.
There had not been a few seconds, Su Yiyang immediately noticed the uproar that was arising in front of there. "How dare to make Jiajia - I'm scared!" Su Yiyang's voice suddenly muttered lowly with his teeth churning aggressively. His eyes seemed to be gleaming by the burning battle lightning.
"We haru—," Paused Xiu Qixuan when he saw Su Yiyang's shadow pass by him so quickly. "Oyy, Su Yiyang! Waita minute! Crazy, huh?!" Xiu Qixuan's voice was entangled low to stop him.
But, he's late. Su Yiyang's movements were so fast with a loud resounding shout calling out the childish figure. "Ninth prince!"
Xiu Qixuan sighed harshly. He remained silent hiding his body behind the corridor pillar. Shaking Xiu Qixuan screeched faintly at Su Yiyang's rash action: "Tch, the crazy truth turns out."
"Who's crazy?" Suddenly a warm gust of breath with a heavy voice entangled right beside his ear made Xiu Qixuan fall into a tingle.
"Oh, isn't that ninth sister and fifth brother?"
The voice again sounded with his body slightly leaning forward.
At this point, Xiu Qixuan felt her body find it difficult to move recklessly. Because his back has almost touched the front body of the figure who is making the sound.
