Chapter 128: The Art of Disguise
Prince's Mansion.
According to the regulations of Fusang Kingdom, when the prince reaches ten years old, he needs to move out of the palace and live in the prince's mansion. This prince's mansion is only separated from the palace by one street. Although it is not as large and imposing as the latter, it can be said to be magnificent, compared to ordinary
The residences of princes and dignitaries are naturally much larger.
Due to the restrictions of the shogunate, the imperial palace and the prince's palace have been loose on the outside and tight on the inside for a long time. On the surface, they don't look much different from ordinary wealthy families, but inside, the palaces and gardens are deep, and there are unknown corners.
There are so many hidden guards, and if you are not careful, you will die without a burial place.
Two black shadows landed behind the eaves of the Prince's Mansion almost at the same moment.
Wang Changfeng looked down at the Prince's Mansion in the night. Unlike the palace, the lights here were more brilliant, with more of a human atmosphere.
In the huge palace garden, we didn't see many patrolling soldiers. There were quite a few palace maids walking around in the courtyard, occasionally chatting and laughing in a low voice. It didn't look like a heavily guarded royal residence, but rather like someone.
It’s the backyard of every big family.
"Where are you going to start this time?" Wang Changfeng asked in a low voice. Toyotomi Chie had already said that she had been to the Prince's Mansion several times, so she was naturally very familiar with it. However, if you want to find someone in such a large mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
It will be difficult to do it for a while.
Toyotomi Chie smiled sweetly and said mysteriously: "You have a saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is called 'The mountain man has his own clever plan'. Just listen to me." After that, he quietly jumped down and continued to sneak forward.
Wang Changfeng shook his head, knowing that she had many evil thoughts, so he had no choice but to follow closely behind.
After walking for a while, we passed through countless courtyards. The lights were gradually dimming, and the scenery in the courtyard began to look rough and even a little messy.
Wang Changfeng frowned and said, "This seems to be where the servants live. She shouldn't be locked up here, right?"
Toyotomi Chie hissed and said, "I'll go down first and wait for my call." After saying that, she quietly fell from the roof, like a leaf falling to the ground in the night, without making any sound.
Wang Changfeng watched her figure flash in the yard and then disappear into a room.
After a while, while waiting, I heard a cat meowing from below. The sound was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for Wang Changfeng to hear clearly.
Wang Changfeng's senses were so sensitive that he immediately knew that it was coming from Chie Toyotomi, so he jumped into the yard. When he turned around, he saw that the door of a room was open, and a weak light came from inside. A small hand waved at the door.
Move, disappear in a flash.
Wang Changfeng entered the room in a flash, and the door closed instantly behind him.
I saw that this place seemed to be a warehouse, with piles of clothes and worthless jewelry everywhere. And a beautiful-looking woman in palace clothes was standing there at the moment, looking at me with a smile.
Wang Changfeng was about to get lucky when he seemed to feel something was wrong. Why did this man look so familiar?
While hesitating, the woman smiled and said: "Fool, you really didn't recognize me, did you?"
It was Toyotomi Chie.
Wang Changfeng was shocked. He had known that Chie Toyotomi was very good at the art of disguise, but it also took time to prepare. But in just a moment, how could she change from a night traveler to a graceful palace maid?
The accessories on the head are also meticulous, and they seem to be ready-made items in the warehouse.
"Miss Qianhui's disguise skills are indeed excellent. I admire you very much." Wang Changfeng said truthfully.
"Humph, you finally know that I am better than you in one thing." Toyotomi Chie pouted, obviously very proud.
Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "When did I say that I was better than you?"
"You're still making excuses? You bullied me when we were at Miyin Courtyard." Chie Toyotomi pouted.
Wang Changfeng thought hard. At that time, he almost fell into the trap of Toyotomi Chie and barely escaped the blow. How come it seemed to her that he was bullying the weak?
However, women always have endless truths to tell, especially a smart and beautiful woman like Toyotomi Chie. Those truths are easy to grasp and seamless.
Since I couldn't make sense, I had to change the topic.
Wang Changfeng said: "Are you planning to disguise yourself and go spy?"
"The Shadowless Monk is everywhere. If we continue to explore like he just did, he will be discovered within a quarter of an hour. The only way is to blend in among the servants, maybe we can avoid his eyes and ears." Feng
Chen Qianhui said.
Wang Changfeng nodded. Toyotomi Chie was really smart. Fortunately, she didn't become her enemy, otherwise she would have had a bigger head. Suddenly he thought of Li Xiaowan again. That woman seemed even more terrifying now, but she didn't know when she would meet her next time.
, or hope not to encounter it again.
Seeing Wang Changfeng standing there blankly looking at her, Toyotomi Chie picked up a piece of clothing, threw it to Wang Changfeng, and said: "You can put it on too."
Wang Changfeng caught the clothes and took a look and saw that it was a female officer's uniform. Although it was not that kind of skirt, it was still a woman's clothes. He was embarrassed and said: "This is a woman's clothes. How do you wear it?"
Toyotomi Chie rolled her eyes at him and said: "The inner courtyard of Fuso Kingdom's palace is not like your Ming Dynasty. There are no eunuchs. Except for the emperor and the prince, they are all women. Where do you want me to find you a man's clothes? Besides, even if
I came here, won’t your secret be exposed as soon as you put it on and go out?”
Wang Changfeng thought it made sense when he heard it, but when he looked at the clothes in his hands, he really couldn't put them on.
"Don't hesitate. This is a big one that I struggled to find for a long time. I don't know if you can wear it." Toyotomi Chie urged.
Wang Changfeng was heartbroken. After all, this was the Fusang Kingdom, and no one knew him. Not even his name was known to anyone. In order to save Yu Zhen'er, he risked his life.
After a while, Wang Changfeng put on the clothes of a female official. Fortunately, he was in excellent shape, with arms and waist, and he was quite handsome. A quick look revealed that this was really the case.
Toyotomi Chie took out another small pen and applied a few strokes on Wang Changfeng's face. She suddenly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I discovered a secret."
"What secret?"
"I find that you look better in women's clothes than men's clothes, hahaha."
Wang Changfeng was angry and said: "If others find out about this, you will know the consequences yourself, hum."
"What am I afraid of? If you don't listen to me in the future, I will tell the whole world about this, hum." Chie Toyotomi showed no sign of weakness.
Toyotomi Chie looked at Wang Changfeng, picked up a phoenix hairpin, pinned it to Wang Changfeng's bun, and then said with a satisfied smile: "This is very good, there should be no flaws now."
Wang Changfeng had no choice but to compromise: "What should we do now?"
Toyotomi Chie smiled and said: "It's late at night, so naturally I have to go and deliver midnight snacks to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Are you going to send it off empty-handed like this?" Wang Changfeng asked.
"Fool, of course there is a way. Come with me." After saying that, Toyotomi Chie opened the door and walked out in a big way, becoming a little leader of palace maids.
Wang Changfeng hurriedly followed behind, hunching his waist to follow suit, which in turn concealed his shortcomings in height.
Following Chie Toyotomi around and around, I met many maids on the road who even saluted Chie Toyotomi. It seemed that she was really pretending to be a little boss.
Toyotomi Chie seemed to be really familiar with the Prince's Palace. Not only did she know the directions and locations, but she was also familiar with all the etiquette and regulations in the palace, as if she was a female official in the Prince's Palace.
Wang Changfeng asked quietly: "I have a guess."
"Say." Chie Toyotomi didn't even look back.
"Do you also want to be a princess?"
Toyotomi Chie's steps suddenly stopped. Wang Changfeng was not paying attention and almost bumped into her back, so he quickly took two steps back.
Toyotomi Chie turned her head and said, "I see that you are usually honest and dull, but you have a lot of bad thoughts."
"I'm just speculating based on the facts as to why I had bad intentions." Wang Changfeng looked aggrieved.
"It's okay to tell you the truth. It's impossible now anyway. From the time I can remember, my family has allowed me to come into contact with the Prince's Mansion. Everything in the Prince's Mansion is required to be kept in mind. I didn't understand it at first, but gradually
When I grew up, I realized my father’s intention. It turned out that he wanted me to get close to the crown prince and become the crown prince’s concubine.”
"But how old are you?" Wang Changfeng asked.
"Age is nothing in Fuso Kingdom, let alone the royal family. It doesn't matter how old you are or how young you are." Chie Toyotomi said calmly.
Wang Changfeng said no more, but felt a little sad in his heart.
Turning around and entering a courtyard, a burst of aroma wafted towards me. It turned out that the chef had arrived.
Chie Toyotomi swaggered in and said a few words in Fuso. The servants there nodded and packed up a delicate suitcase containing three or five kinds of exquisite snacks.
Toyotomi Chie pouted, Wang Changfeng understood, took two steps forward, took the suitcase, and followed Toyotomi Chie out of the kitchen.
"What did you say just now? You didn't say that the prince was hungry and needed some snacks, right?" Wang Changfeng asked.
"Am I that stupid?" Toyotomi Chie sneered and said: "The prince's schedule is very regular. These servants are used to serving him, and they know when the prince eats better than the prince himself. I came here in the middle of the night.
Asking for food for the prince will only make people suspicious."
Wang Changfeng nodded and said, "I guess so."
Toyotomi Chie continued: "I mean that the new nobleman suddenly felt unwell in the middle of the night and wanted to eat some snacks that were not too sweet."
Wang Changfeng praised: "This sentence is well said!" There is something in Toyotomi Chie's sentence. If you say you are a noble person, you can find out Yu Zhen'er's status in the prince's house. If you are imprisoned like an ordinary person, you will naturally not be considered a noble person.
It is impossible to give her snacks to eat. Nowadays, people do not show any surprise. It is obvious that they have been serving Yu Zhen'er in this way these past few days, and it is estimated that Yu Zhen'er's diet is not regular, so she came in the middle of the night.
It doesn’t feel weird to want snacks.
Toyotomi Qiane also smiled and said: "You are smart. Now it seems that Miss Zhen'er has indeed not suffered any grievances. She is still treated with courtesy in the Crown Prince's Palace. This is reasonable, after all, she will become the Crown Princess soon, and those
