The old lady obeyed her orders, bid farewell to the princess in a hurry, hurried back home, and found several famous grandmas in the city, collected cosmetics for dressing up girls from them, and managed to get high-quality pollen, rouge and other things.The three-day period passed quickly.On the morning of the fourth day, the old lady invited the prince to her home and asked him solemnly: "My child, are you still looking forward to meeting Her Highness the Princess?" "I'm looking forward to it with all my heart." The prince replied happily. "Then let me dress you up."

The old lady opened the box and took out a package, which was full of precious jewelry for the prince to dress up and a set of women's clothes inlaid with beads and jade, worth five thousand gold coins.After showing the prince one by one, she opened the decoration box, used tweezers to pluck the fine hairs on his face, painted his eyebrows, eyes, and paint, then took off his clothes, and covered him from fingers to arms. Painted from the instep to the thigh, until the prince turned into a rose on the dolomite, let him put on a soft shirt, trousers and the expensive royal clothes, tie a belt, put on a veil, and finally teach him The way women walk.The old lady said:

"You swing to the left, swing to the right, twist and twist like." According to what the old lady said, the prince walked waddlingly, like a fairy descending from the earth, so beautiful. The old lady saw that Prince Artes was dressed like a woman, and she said to him: "I will take you into the palace now. But the gate of the palace is guarded by guards and servants, and the security is tight. If you A little bit of terror and looking around in front of those guards will make them suspicious and lead to questioning and inspection. If you show your feet, it will be a bad thing, and it will kill us both. If you are timid now , if you can’t stay calm, let’s retreat as soon as possible, so that we don’t risk our lives.”

"This matter is nothing to me. Don't worry, old lady." Prince Arthur assured the old lady without hesitation. After hearing this, the old lady felt relieved, and resolutely took the prince out of the house, and walked straight to the palace one after the other. When we got near the palace, we saw that there were guards standing in front of the gate, and they were really on guard.The old lady looked back at the prince quietly, to see if he showed signs of timidity or shrinking, but seeing that he was calm and composed, she let out a long breath and approached the palace gate step by step with confidence.

When the guard saw the old lady coming, he knew that she was the princess' nurse, but he was very puzzled when he saw that there was a young girl who was as beautiful as a fairy following her.I thought to myself: the old lady is the princess's nurse, besides the princess herself, who else is the unparalleled beauty behind her?However, the princess lived in seclusion all year round, but it was unreasonable to go out of the palace this time, so there must be something hidden.How did she go out today, was it allowed by the king, or did she sneak out behind the king's back? The guard thought about it, got up suspiciously and walked towards the old lady, intending to find out the truth.Thirty of his guards followed him.

Seeing the guards swarming in, the old lady was so frightened that she lost her soul. She couldn't help crying: "We are the people of Allah, and we will eventually return to the presence of Allah. Needless to say, we are doomed this time, except The great Allah saves us, we can only sit and wait for death." Seeing the old lady's flustered and unnatural expression, the guard felt in a dilemma.He knew very well that the princess had a surly temper, and the king always gave way to her, so he warned himself: "Maybe the king ordered the wet nurse to go out with the princess on some private affairs, and deliberately kept others from knowing the details. Now I act rashly and treat her Interrogation may make Longyan furious, accusing me of destroying her reputation, and will hold a grudge against me from then on, and even do everything possible to retaliate against me in the future. Why do I ask for trouble like this! So I still don't care about this matter. Just keep your eyes open and close your eyes." Thinking of these worries, he dismissed the idea of ​​interrogation and retreated.The thirty guards under him also retreated and let them pass.

The old lady took the opportunity to lead the prince into the palace gate, and nodded to the guards. They also lined up and separated on both sides to show their respect.The old lady and the prince continued to move forward calmly, passed through the palace walls safely, and reached the seventh gate, which was the boundary between the front palace and the backyard.After entering this gate, you will come to the place where the king, queen, princess and concubines live. The old lady stood in front of the door and excitedly said to the prince: "Look, child, we have finally reached the last level. It is the blessing of the Lord that we have arrived here safely. But you can't meet the princess yet, until after dark, under the cover of night, you can't use it." Worry and fear, see the princess."

"You're right, but where am I going to hide now?" "You should hide in a dark and secluded corner first." The old lady hid the prince well, and then went back to do her own business. The prince hid by the well fence behind the gate until dark, when the old lady came to tell him to go out.She took the prince into the inner palace until the door of the princess' boudoir.The old lady knocked on the door lightly, and a little girl inside asked, "Who is it?" After she recognized that it was the wet nurse, she rushed to inform the princess. "Go and open the door," said the princess, "and let the wet nurse and all who follow her in."

The old lady took the prince into the boudoir, looked around, and saw that the princess had already packed up and decorated properly.The palace lanterns in the same row of gold and silver candlesticks complement each other, cushions and other things have been laid on the chairs and stools, and melons and fruits are placed on the table.Looking again, the princess is sitting in the middle, beautiful and moving, really more eye-catching than candlelight.The princess saw a girl behind the old lady at a glance, so she asked, "Nurse, where is my sweetheart?" "Your Highness, I haven't seen him. I searched everywhere, but there is no news about him. But I brought his sister.

Look, it's right in front of your eyes. " "Nurse, are you crazy? What do I want his sister for? Do you want a man with a headache to bandage his hands?" "No, Your Highness Shengming! I swear to Allah, no one will do this. But, Your Highness, take a look at him first, and if you are still satisfied, keep him." The old lady said and took off the crown prince. The veil on the head. The princess raised her head and saw that it was Prince Artes, she hurriedly got up to meet him, and embraced him with open arms.The two embraced tightly and both fainted with excitement.The old lady hurriedly sprinkled rose water on the faces of the two of them to wake them up.Princess Haya Tufus kept kissing the prince's lips painfully, and happily said:

"Beloved come to a tryst at night, I stood up to meet him and greeted him to sit down. I asked: 'O man whom I adore and wait for! You came here on an adventure, aren't you afraid that the watchman will find out! ' He replied: 'I was terrified, of course, But reason and soul have been lost because of love. ' So we hug each other like glue, Then sit down and talk quietly, speaking freely. " The princess groaned, and said to the prince: "All this is not a dream. I saw you in my embroidery room, eating and drinking with me, and being my intimate lover." She was so passionate and extremely excited that she chanted frantically: "Swear to whoever comes to meet me in the night, I had already prepared for this and was looking forward to meeting him. What I love most is his soft, sweet cry, So I say: welcome, welcome, sincerely welcome your presence. I kissed his cheek a thousand times, I hugged him tightly tens of thousands of times. I said: I have got everything I hoped for, It is Allah, Lord, that has granted my wish. Let's spend tonight as we please, It was not until dawn that he woke up from the fragrant dream. " The princess and the prince were together affectionately, whispering, extremely sweet.It was not until dawn that the princess hid him.The prince hid in the hiding place until evening, and the princess quietly took him back to the boudoir, played with him, and made each other happy. The prince said: "I plan to go back to the country first, and tell my father about our love for each other. He will send a prime minister to propose to your father and marry us. I wonder what you think?" "Honey, I'm just afraid that after a long absence, you will forget me as soon as you leave. If your father does not agree with this marriage and intends to embarrass us, then you might as well tell me to die. Now I think the best way is to let You stay with me for a while, and I will protect and take care of you. In this way, we can not only meet and talk every day, but also use our brains to plan. I tried to elope with you. At that time, under the protection of the night, I slipped out of the palace flee to your country. Knowing that I have lost hope in my family, and intend to leave them alone." "Okay, just do as you say." The prince agreed to the princess. So the two began planning to elope. Before the plan was put into action, the two stayed together every day and night, getting used to a life of eating together, playing and talking together. The understanding and affection between each other have been enhanced, and they have never left each other. One night, the princess and the prince were very happy, chattering and talking endlessly together. Coincidentally that morning, King Lou Godier received a batch of gifts from the vassal state, including a string of necklaces inlaid with more than 20 precious jewels, which was priceless and beyond the financial resources of ordinary small countries.The king cherished this gift very much, and said proudly, "Who else wears this necklace except my daughter Princess Haya Tufus?" So he told the eunuchs around him, saying: "You send this string of necklaces to the princess, let her know that it is a treasure among treasures, and cherish it even more and hang it around her neck." The eunuch rushed to the harem with the tribute according to the king's instructions. The eunuch had offended the princess and was knocked out of his molars for it. He has been brooding and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.He couldn't forget to curse as he walked: "She knocked out my teeth, I hope the Lord will make this necklace her relic." He rushed to the door of the princess's boudoir maliciously, and when he saw the door was closed, the old man The wife is sleeping nearby.He shook the old lady until she awoke sleepily, looked at the eunuch in surprise and said: "Why, what happened?" "I came to meet the princess by order of the king." "I don't have the key with me right now, please go back first. I went to get the key." The old lady faltered at the eunuch. "I must see the princess right away, and I can go back to King Ming after finishing my errands." The old lady suffered from the eunuch's cunning and cunning, and was hard to deceive. She was anxious and frightened, so she simply borrowed the key and ran away.
