Appointed as Princess

  "Snowflake, tell me where you come from?" asked the Emperor.

  "I'm from the mountains, not Shanghai." "Shanghai?" The four of them said in unison. Is it strange that I'm from Shanghai? Why are they shouting so loudly, looking at their surprised expressions... oh, people from thousands of years ago wouldn't know about Shanghai, I'm really stupid. "That uncle, actually Shanghai is my hometown, so... uh, it's just like here, really." As I said this, I let out a huge sneeze, and now it's freezing winter here, poor me still wearing short sleeves, "Ah-choo!" Another one comes.

  "Little bamboo, go and prepare a set of clothes for Fei Xue immediately, and also go and tidy up, arrange a place for Fei Xue to stay." The Emperor Uncle instructed.

  "I obey your orders"

  "Snow, would you be willing to live here?" asked Emperor Uncle.

  "Do I have to pay rent?" I said carefully, but what I said was the truth. I really didn't have any money."

  The emperor listened and was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't pay rent, just live here with peace of mind. If you need anything, go find the empress or the noble concubine, don't be shy about it. Got it?"

  He finished speaking and I was stunned, what's going on? Then the emperor said to the two beauties beside him, "Take care of Fei Xue, can't be careless at all, do you understand?"

  "I obey your orders."

  "Uncle, where's my medicine box?" That's the only thing I can rely on when I get back home. Those people who travel through time and space all have something with them that they bring along. I must protect it well.

  "Medicine box? Is that the one?" The emperor pointed to the medicine box on the table and asked me. "It's that one, can you help me bring it over?" I want to put it by my side so I can feel at ease, just in case I can go back soon, hehe...

  "Your Majesty, let Fei Xue rest first," said Liu Guifei. "I think she's tired from coming such a long way. Let's let her rest for now and come back to see her later."

  "All right, Fei Xue, you rest well. I'll come back and see you later."

  "Thanks"

  Just as I was sleeping soundly and dreaming, when I woke up, the Emperor had done something that would change my life.

  "Your Majesty, are you going to keep that girl?" Empress Tang said "Is Ci'an talking about her?"

  "It must be her, we saw her fall from the sky with our own eyes, she's called Fei Xue. Isn't it 'Heavenly Snow, Auspicious Omen, Heavenly Gifted Girl, Blessing of the People'? She is the future empress of my imperial dynasty. In the future, whether Ling'er becomes emperor or Qing'er becomes emperor, they must make her empress. Empress, you and Xiner take good care of her."

  Yes

  At this time, I had no idea that my fate had changed and was still lying in bed dreaming of sleeping with a medicine box to return to modern times...

  "I first conferred her as a princess, my beloved consorts, what do you think?"

  "The emperor wants to arrange a status for her first," said Liu Guifei.

  "This way, no one will be able to harm her and she can live in the palace with a clear conscience." The Empress said: "Your Majesty, why not let her move into Xueyan Pavilion?"

  "Let's do it as you said."

  When everyone in the palace was preparing for my princess ceremony, I was still holding onto the medicine box and fantasizing about being able to return. But when I woke up, I realized that it wasn't possible to go back at that moment. So I had no choice but to get up and eat something. Almost forgot, I came here because I was hungry in the first place! What a mess. However, it's okay now, at least these delicious foods are things I couldn't have eaten in my hometown. Hehe... secretly excited.

  "This humble servant Xiao Dezi, and this slave girl Dongdong have seen the princess." A small eunuch and a small palace maid knelt before me to pay their respects.

  "Get up, get up, don't kneel to me, hurry up!" Scared me to death. Although I've seen this kind of feudal society's palace life on TV before, but when they really knelt down in front of me, it just feels so weird. Aren't people equal? Why do you need to kneel to others? Servants are humans too. "Who are you?"

  "We are here to serve Your Highness, we were sent by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager said that we must protect Your Highness with our lives and take good care of you. We swear to follow Your Highness till death."

  I'm so fed up with what they're saying that I've lost my appetite. How can things have turned out like this? They look younger than me. "How old are you all this year? Have you entered the palace this year?"

  "Returning to the princess, I was 6 years old when I entered the palace, and now it's been 11 years." Oh, only 17 years old, such a young child. I thought to myself. "And you, Dongdong?"

  "The slave girl has been in the palace for 5 years, and is now 15." How come ancient people were so mature at a young age? A 15-year-old looks even more mature than me. "Oh, are you eating yet? Do you want to eat together?" "This servant (girl) does not dare." They knelt down again. "Get up, if you don't eat then don't eat, and from now on don't kneel to me, understand?"

  They looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and knelt there stiffly. "Get up, get up, didn't you say you wanted to serve me? Can you help me prepare some hot water for a bath? I want to take a bath, can I?" "Yes, this servant will go and prepare it."

  It's really terrible, I thought I would just wake up and go back, but unexpectedly, I actually crossed time and space to this imperial court, fortunately the emperor is a good person, but why did he make me a princess? Is it because I fell from the sky and he thinks I'm a goddess? Oh no, will he treat me as a godmother in the future and ask me to predict the future for him? Mommy, what should I do? I don't know how to do that. If this were a recorded dynasty in history, it would be fine, but there's no record of this imperial court, what should I do? Should I try my best to please him? It's really a headache, but since I'm so cute, he shouldn't kill me, right? Hehe, time for dinner...

  While I was daydreaming, Xiao Dezi and the others had already prepared hot water for me. "Princess, the water is ready. Are you going to bathe now or wait till later?"

  "Where am I going to wash now?"

  Dongdong helped me bathe, actually I didn't want her to help me wash, but she said this was what she should do, I didn't let her, and she knelt there, on such a cold day, looking at her, I was speechless, so I just let her be.

  "Princess, your hair looks great, it's actually blue." "You're talking about my hair, but in my hometown, many people are the same. This is a perm, dyed blue, all done by my mom. She said that perms have a feminine charm and make you look more charming. I'm fed up with her, every day thinking of ways to dress me up like a Barbie doll." "Mom? Barbie doll?" Bang Bang's face was full of confusion. "Mom means mother, Barbie doll is a very cute doll. Because she's too cute, many mothers hope their daughters are as cute as her. So they all dress up exactly the same way."

  It's good that Dangdang is here, otherwise I think even dressing myself would be a problem, it's too much trouble. "Princess, you are so beautiful."

  Faint, if my mother heard this sentence, I don't know what she would be like. In fact, my mother is an international fashion designer, and her greatest wish is to design many beautiful and unique clothes for her beloved daughter to wear. What about mom and dad?

  "Princess, His Majesty says that after you get dressed, please go to the Fengyi Palace." Little Dezi said respectfully beside her.

  "Alright, let's go."
