"Princess, let's go back, okay? If the Empress finds out you've sneaked out of the palace again, my backside won't be saved!"
Under the high palace wall, a man in a crescent white robe with his hair tied high was crouching sneakily on the ground, busy trying to enlarge the dog hole in front of him.
Beside him, a young page boy was also crouching sneakily, though disguised as a boy, the voice was that of a young girl.
This girl was named Lanlan, the personal servant of Princess Cuiwei, the favorite eldest princess of the current emperor.
And the person she was calling "princess" was precisely the man in front working on the dog hole.
"Lanlan!"
Princess Cuiwei shook the dirt off her hands, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and plopped down on the ground: "Lanlan, mother is just offhandedly saying that. You've grown up with me, she sees you the same way she sees me; you think she'd actually spank you?"
