Chapter 855: The lover’s family met a disaster
To give acupuncture treatment, the legs must be exposed. She can’t guarantee that no one will break-in.
Jin’er thought that she couldn’t help much when giving needle treatment. The princess said she wanted to eat the millet porridge that Bai Zhi had made before. She didn’t like the taste of the porridge the imperial chef sent her, so Jin’er went out to learn how to cook the porridge by herself.
In the end, only Bai Zhi and Princess Qianfang were left in the room.
When Bai Zhi start giving acupuncture treatment, Princess Qiangfang quietly looked at Bai Zhi. She looked like a 13-14-year-old girl. Although the childishness on her face hasn’t disappeared, her unique grace could no longer be hidden.
What kind of man should a girl like her match?
Would it be better than her brother?
“Miss Bai, do you have someone you like?” No one knows if she suddenly became crazy and asked such a question. Princess Qianfang regretted it after asking it.
But how can she take back her words?
“I’m sorry, I, I just–”
She wanted to explain a few words, but Bai Zhi responded happily: “Yes, I have someone I like.”
Princess Qianfang was shocked again. She didn’t expect that Bai Zhi would say those words without hesitation. She didn’t even blush.
Bai Zhi seemed to see what she was thinking. She smiled and said: “It’s normal to like someone. There is nothing to hide. If you like it, you like it, and if you don’t like it, you don’t like it.”
Princess Qianfang hurriedly asked: “Are you two will get married?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t know, who can tell the future?”
“Then he, does he like you?”
“He likes me too. We originally had a marriage contract, but the world is unpredictable. Who can guarantee that people who have a marriage contract will be able to be together in the end?” When she said this, there was no sadness, just a faint statement.
After hearing these words, Princess Qianfang immediately blushed and said with a choked voice: “It’s true, the world is unpredictable. Some lovers had difficulty in getting married.”
Bai Zhi looked surprised, she was alright before, so why she was crying again? Did her words open an old wound? So she has this melancholy look in the eyes?
“What’s wrong with the princess?” She didn’t want to ask, but she couldn’t pretend that she didn’t see it. Maybe the princess was just waiting for her to ask.
The bitterness in the princess’s belly was too much, she needs to pour it out. If it is not poured out, she will be frustrated, depressed, and easily get sick.
Princess Qianfang looked at Bai Zhi with teary eyes, “I have a story, do you really want to hear it?”
Bai Zhi put down the silver needle she pulled out, covered the princess with a quilt, and sat on the bedside: “Unfortunately, there is no wine. Wine and the story are the best matches.” She smiled sincerely.
Princess Qianfang nodded and said thank you.
As a princess of a country, when did she say thanks to people? But ever since she met Bai Zhi, these words have always lingered in her mouth.
When she gradually calmed down and stopped choking, she began to tell the story that stung in her heart all day long.
“I have a childhood sweetheart. He is the elder son of Zhennan Houfu in Jinguo Town. He has lived in the palace since we were young and become my been elder brother’s company. I am very close to my eldest brother, so the three of us often play together. As I grew older and learned about the matter between men and women, he has already entered my heart. He also expressed his feelings for me and begged Zhennan Houye to propose marriage to my Imperial Father.”
“My Imperial Father agreed. So I thought I would be the happiest person in the world after marrying the man I like, and we will be together forever.”
“But who knows, the good times are not long. When the wedding date was approaching, my imperial father suddenly attacked the Zhennan Houfu, he ordered his men to seize their property and punished the nine generations of their family—”
