Chapter 651 - I Don't Want To Be The Princess.

Tan Xiu suddenly stood off the chair and looked at the girl with determined expressions.

Yu Ju stared at her Miss in hesitation and wondered what she was planning now.

" Miss..what happened?"

Tan Xiu took a deep breath and said, " I am not going to leave everything as it is. I have to tell him. Even if he hasn't said anything to me and never showed interest in me….I can't assume that he doesn't feel anything for me."

Yu Ju pursed her lips and stared at Tan Xiu's determined expressions.

" But Miss... you're a girl. How can you say something like this? What if Commander Yuan thinks lightly of you because of your hasty actions?"

She stared at her Miss and wondered why she was making her life hard. If things got out, it won't harm Yuan Song in any way, but she will be the one taking blame and taunts of everyone.

" Miss, I think you should relax and consider your dec….Miss.." before she could complete her words, Tan Xiu dashed out of the room.

Yu Ju sighed and followed behind her.

Tan Xiu became wary as soon as she stepped out of her chamber. Her steps became slow as she looked around and tried to pretend to be casual.

" Princess Tan Xiu" she stopped in her steps when the pavilion guard stopped her.

She nodded and was about to step out when the guard stretched his hand out in front of her and said, " Princess, His Majesty has said that you can't go out of the palace."

She gritted her teeth and said, " I am not going somewhere. I am just going into the main garden to get some air. My maid is going with me."

" But Princess…" the guard hesitated but shut up seeing her stern gaze.

" Don't forget that I am the Princess. My father has asked you to guard me not cage me in the palace. " She stared at him with a determined gaze which scared him and he made a way for her to leave.

Tan Xiu breathed out in relief and left the pavilion with Yu Ju following behind.

She carefully avoided getting noticed but she stopped when she reached the main gate of the palace. She swallowed hard seeing all the guards standing there.

She knows that they won't let her go out easily since she was not allowed to go anywhere outside the palace. She has been under scrutiny before as well but after her father has broken the news of the marriage arrangement to her, things have become stricter than before.

She glanced at Yu Ju and smiled. They were hiding behind a tree and watching over the guards from far away.

Yu Ju sighed as she understood that once again she has to sacrifice herself for Tan Xiu's secret mission.

…..

Tan Xiu was laughing as she looked at Yu Ju who helped her get out of the palace. They were now walking on the road, as they just got out of the palace.

To help her out, Yu Ju acted as she was walking towards the guards and pretended to fall and sprain her leg. Seeing she fell, all the guards ran to help her.

After all, she is a beauty among all the maids. Keeping all the guards busy around her, she signaled Tan Xiu to get out.

That's how they were able to get out of the palace once again.

" Yu Ju, I am so glad that I got you as my maid." She laughed loudly as she cannot forget the scene where all the guards were on their toes around her.

Yu Ju frowned and said, " Miss, lower your voice. What if someone hears you? Keep your image in mind." She made gestures to keep her hushed.

Tan Xiu shook her head and said, " Don't worry. No one knows me here. They just recognize my Father. I am a hidden Princess who has spent her whole life behind the wall of the palace. Common people can't recognize me." She waved her hand and asked her to not worry.

Yu Ju sighed and felt relieved seeing her cheerful attitude again. She thought that if they couldn't meet Commander Yuan today, they would go back to the palace after eating some street delicacies.

After all, this is something they can't eat in the palace.

" Miss, see, they have big buns over there. They look so delicious." She tried to divert Tan Xiu's attention with delicious food.

But Tan Xiu ignored her words and looked around the market. Her heart turned heavy as she couldn't find him anywhere.

Yu Ju sighed and said, " Miss, I don't think he will come here today. The few times when you met him in the market was because he just left the palace. Do you think you will find him here?"

" It's not that he is waiting for you at the market." She scoffed seeing how naive her Miss is. They don't know where he lives and she left the palace to meet him without knowing his whereabouts.

In the past, whenever he comes to the palace, she always leaves the palace behind him and ends up meeting with him in the market. She always acted as if it was a 'coincidence'. A well-planned coincidence.

Tan Xiu pursed her lips in a thin line hearing Yu Ju's words but her eyes were roaming on the road trying to find him in this crowded market.

" Oh", she stopped in her steps when she saw a tall and good-looking figure standing at the spicy noodle shop.

A smile appeared on her lips as she stared at him who was standing across the road. Among everyone in the market, she could recognize him from afar.

He has a different and charming aura which makes him unique and easily recognizable.

Yu Ju followed Tan Xiu's line of sight and was shocked by the person standing at the shop.

" Commander Yuan Song?" Yu Ju murmured as she was shocked that they spotted the man among this crowded market.

This was too much for a coincidence.

Tan Xiu didn't wait for Yu Ju and walked towards the man who was standing across the road.

She was in a daze that she didn't notice the horse cart coming towards her.

" Miss…" Yu Ju shouted when she noticed that Tan Xiu was in the middle of the road and the horse was about to hit her.

Tan Xiu who was in a daze turned to the side and was shocked to see the horse who had come close to her. She closed her eyes in instinct as her body froze on the spot.

" Ahh" she cried out in pain when someone pulled her by hand and she fell onto the ground.

After a while, she could hear the whispers around her. She hesitantly opened her eyes, her eyes widened in shock when she saw the person over her.

" Commander Yuan So...song"

Yuan Song, who was talking to the shop vendor earlier, heard Yu Ju's shriek and when he turned around, he found Tan Xiu standing in the middle of the road and was about to be hit by the horse.

His body stiffened but his reflexes worked faster and he managed to pull her to the side in time. Otherwise, she would have gotten hurt.

When she opened her eyes, he stared at her for a moment before getting up. At that time, Tan Xiu realized that he had his hand behind her head so that she won't get hurt.

Her heart melted seeing how considerate and caring he is.

He looked around and frowned upon seeing everyone gathering around them and was whispering. He pursed his lips, and caught Tan Xiu by her wrist and pulled her with him.

" Come with me."

Tan Xiu was surprised but followed him where he was taking him. Yu Ju also ran behind them, trying to follow his large strides.

….

Tan Xiu looked at the secluded alley which was empty and no one was around. Her heart started to beat faster seeing his tempting gaze and his exceptionally handsome appearance.

She wanted to confess her love to him but before she could say anything, he started scolding her.

" Are you stupid? How can you come out of the palace like this? And even if you had come out, can't you see the road? You would have gotten hurt if I wasn't there."

" Princess Tan Xiu, you need to think before doing anything. You are the princess, you should think about the consequences before doing anything. What if someone recognizes you?"

He sighed helplessly, seeing her shocked and scared expressions.

His tone became gentler when he saw the tears glistening in her eyes.

Tan Xiu felt strange when he scolded her. She stared at him with her teary eyes and sniffled as she felt like crying. She was overwhelmed with everything and Yu Ju's words rang in her head.

" I don't want to be the Princess."
