marry a princess

Chapter 97
Xu Shi was really hungry, and a bowl of corn porridge with only a little salt seemed like a delicacy in the world.Bai Ziwan ate the corn porridge in big mouthfuls, but, thinking about the conversation with Ye Qin, the movements of her hands slowly stopped, and her long eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.

She really wants to wait a year for the so-called agreement?Or should he continue to accept this involuntary fate for his father and elder brother, and become a dispensable pawn in the hands of others?Bai Ziwan closed her eyes, and her frown tightened a bit. She was never an indecisive person, but now, for her father and brother, she was so hesitant.

"Why are you staring at the corn porridge in a daze?" Yuan Hongyi said softly, putting a strand of black hair that covered her cheeks behind her ear, "Is it because the corn porridge is not to your liking? What do you want to eat? I'll ask Rue Xiang to let the kitchen make it." send it over."

"No need." Subconsciously grabbed him, and when he saw him looking into his eyes, Bai Ziwan suddenly realized that he was holding Yuan Hongyi's hand, then let go, and said nonchalantly, "I can't eat anymore." After finishing speaking, he put the half bowl of polenta aside.

The wind was still strong at night, making the windows crackle and the candles nearly extinguished.Seeing Bai Ziwan's head hanging down, eyebrows frowned, and body trembling slightly, Yuan Hongyi sighed secretly, went to close the window to isolate the coolness like water, came back and sat down again, but still remained speechless.

There is never a shortage of women around him, and he has never really faced up to the existence of a woman, that is, the little girl who lent him an umbrella back then. All these years of searching are just hoping to get back the half of the jade pendant after finding her.However, what he didn't expect was that the little girl back then would become his wife by accident, let alone that he would really fall in love with her.

Recalling the deliberate taunting of her on the wedding night, the subsequent indifference, and what happened along the way, Yuan Hongyi smiled unconsciously. Maybe his fate with A Wan was already doomed, but...his pride and stubbornness , forming an insurmountable gap between them.

In the days when she left, every time he saw the empty beds and rooms, thinking about what he did that day, and the eyes she looked at him when she left, he regretted not falling, but he couldn't show it, he could only pretend Zuo pretended nothing had happened while praying that Ah Wan would come back safely.

"Awan, why are you willing to talk to me? If you are still angry about what happened that day, I apologize to you..." He did that to her because he was drunk that day, but he really wanted it she.He said that he would not apologize to her for what happened that day, but every time he saw the indifference and rejection in her eyes these days, his heart was pierced.

"I don't want to mention what happened that day again." Bai Ziwan looked up at Yuan Hongyi impressively.After a long time, he said as if he had made up his mind, "I want to leave."

"Leave?" Yuan Hongyi's heart tightened, and then he smiled, "Yesterday I received a secret report that Tianxu Kingdom and Shenghui Kingdom may attack Linjiang City in advance, and I was thinking of writing a letter to ask the emperor's grandmother to let you go back to the capital first." , since you took the initiative to speak, I will write a letter and send someone to the imperial grandmother in a while."

"I'm talking about leaving, not going back to the capital." Looking into his eyes, Bai Ziwan said, "I've thought a lot these days, since I know I will still leave in a year, why should I spend this year being relatively silent, so , I hope you divorce me and let me go."

"Divorce you? Let you leave?" Yuan Hongyi looked at Bai Ziwan in disbelief, with a hint of sullenness hidden in his expression, "Do you know what you are talking about? You are a marriage gifted by the emperor's mother without the emperor's permission. Even Royal Father can't let me divorce you easily."

Bai Ziwan said, "With the empress dowager's love for you, I believe that as long as it is what you want, even if it is difficult, she can do it for you. What's more, even if you don't need the empress dowager, you can still do it." Divorce me on seven terms, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hongyi shook hands secretly, and suppressed the anger that was about to burst out in his heart, "Why? Because of that Qin? Do you want me to let you go so that you can live together with him? Let me tell you, it is Even if I divorce you, you will never want to be with him. Who do you think would be brave enough to marry a prince's concubine? Even if she is the divorced prince's concubine."

Bai Ziwan smiled sadly, lowered his eyes, and muttered to himself, "I really hope that I left because of Qin, and I also hope to be with Qin, but...he left me alone and left me alone in this strange world." Walk alone in a corner alone."

"What did you say?" Sudden pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, and when he saw the longing in her eyes, Yuan Hongyi opened his eyes wide, and the strength of his hands increased, and he said word by word, "You miss him so much? Are you so eager to leave me?"

Enduring the pulling pain in her heart, facing his angry eyes, Bai Ziwan replied firmly, "Yes." She may not mind being someone else's identity or forgetting her former self, but she will never Allow yourself to be a pawn manipulated by others at will.

"you!"

Yuan Hongyi's eyes widened angrily, he gritted his teeth and stared at Bai Ziwan with bulging veins, then raised his other hand.Zi Wan didn't dodge, she looked at his fire-breathing eyes and his suddenly raised hand without fear.Just when he thought he was going to wave his hand towards him, he stopped abruptly.

The pain in her eyes made her unbearable to look at it, but she couldn't dodge, otherwise the words she said earlier would be in vain, and she would never be able to escape the cage that imprisoned her.

Looking at the fearlessness in Bai Ziwan's eyes, Yuan Hongyi felt that his heart was cut. There are thousands of women in the world, why is he only attracted to her?But she ignored him.How should he choose?As she wished, let her be fulfilled with another person, or keep her by her side to torture each other?

It's looking at each other and confronting each other.

After a while, Yuan Hongyi shook off Bai Ziwan angrily, took two steps, stopped, and said coldly, "Since you are married to me, as long as I don't agree, you can never leave half a step away. Of course, you can leave secretly." , but I want you to think about the consequences before you leave."

With a loud "bang", Yuan Hongyi slammed the door and left.Bai Ziwan sat up with her hands propped up, looked at the closed door, and smiled foolishly.

On the second day, Hongyi brought Qing'er over to greet Bai Ziwan shortly after breakfast as usual. As usual, no matter how unhappy Ziwan was, she would still take into account her past friendship with Hongyi and gossip with her, but After last night, Zi Wan didn't want to force herself any longer for the fearless.

Hongyi also noticed that today's Bai Ziwan was different from usual, no matter what she said, she was either lacking in interest or staring at one place absent-mindedly.Seeing this, Hongyi suddenly felt bored, and excused herself to go out to buy something, bid farewell to Qing'er and left.

Not long after Hong Yi left, the guards at the gate brought in a bundle and a letter.Only after opening the letter did I realize that it was sent by Yeqin.In addition to saying goodbye to her, the letter said at the end, "If he treats you badly, or if you want to leave, come to Tianxu country to find me, and I will take you to find what you want most." There is a string of hands in the letter. Beads, purple-blue crystals, crystal clear.

Bai Ziwan took the letter and read it over and over again for a long time, but she didn't understand the meaning of Ye Qin's last sentence.After a long time, she smiled bitterly, what she wanted, even if she spent her whole life, she would not be able to get it.Putting the bead into his sleeve, he handed the letter paper to Yunxiang, and told her to burn it, while he opened the brocade box - it turned out to be the white jade chess set she played against Ye Qin yesterday.

The afternoon sun was just right, Bai Ziwan moved the rocking chair to the yard, drank tea while basking in the sun, and looked at the boundless blue sky.

"Why is my sister falling asleep here? The Fifth Prince will feel distressed if he catches a cold." Hongyi patted Bai Ziwan lightly.

Hearing the sound, Bai Ziwan frowned intuitively, opened his eyes and saw the red dress in red clothes looking at him with a cunning smile.She sat up, smiled lightly, and did not answer.

"Why don't you see Yun Xiang and Aunt Liu waiting by the side?" Hong Yi looked around the courtyard and said casually.

"Yuxiang and Aunt Liu probably have other things to go out." Bai Ziwan pointed to the things Qing'er was carrying in his hand, and said, "Did sister buy something delicious for me?"

Hongyi covered her mouth with a smile, and motioned Qing'er to open the things, "I just passed by Lingyage, and I heard that the roast goose there is very good, thinking that my sister might like it, I asked Qing'er to go in and buy one, and I will add food to my sister in the evening , so that my sister can't eat, and the fifth master doesn't know how to eat."

Bai Ziwan was about to talk and laugh, but when he heard the words behind Hongyi, he stopped talking.He poured some tea backhand and held it in his hand, drinking it in small sips.

Hong Yi continued, "My sister doesn't know. Last night, when the prince heard He Bo said that my sister asked the kitchen not to prepare dinner for you, I thought that my sister was not feeling well, so I immediately sent someone to invite Dr. Liang to come over. Later, Aunt Liu said The younger sister was just tired, so the lord gave up, but he didn't eat much for dinner, and he even ordered the kitchen to prepare some food you like, and bring it over when you are hungry."

Yuan Hongyi is no longer the former King Ningqing, but she still speaks to each other. She is really affectionate.Bai Ziwan pursed her lips and smiled, took a sip of tea, put it down, and turned to look at Hong Yi, "Why did sister tell me this?"

Seeing the smile on Bai Ziwan's face, for some reason, Hongyi felt a sudden panic in his heart, with a smile still on his face, calm and composed, then lowered his head and stammered, "Actually... I've always wanted to talk to you, Fifth Prince Concubine, but..."

"My sister just called me my sister, why are you calling me the fifth concubine now?" Bai Ziwan still had a faint smile on his lips, "The fifth concubine is used to be called by others, my sister and I are in love with each other. It's different, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly."

"I..." Hongyi twisted the handkerchief in his hand, as if it was difficult to say what to say next, he raised his head after a while and said, "The prince's heart is kind, and he only allows Hongyi to see that Hongyi is helpless here." Staying in the General's Mansion, Hong Yi also knows the rumors in the mansion these few days, Hong Yi doesn't want to cause gossip for her sister, so..."

"Sister wants to leave? Does the fifth prince know?" Hongyi shook her head, and Bai Ziwan said, "Since the fifth prince asked my sister to stay, I can stay at ease. You just said that you raised your eyes in Linjiang City No relatives, where are you going to go after leaving the General's Mansion?"

"I……"

"My sister left the capital and came to Linjiang City, isn't it just for the fifth prince? Are you really willing to leave like this?"

Hongyi looked at Bai Ziwan in astonishment, perhaps she didn't expect her to be so blunt about her purpose of coming here. "Hongyi knows that her status is low, she shouldn't dream of being with the prince, let alone have any extravagant hopes, it's just..."

Bai Ziwan smiled slightly, "Everyone knows that the fifth prince is surrounded by clouds of beauties, but he only looks at his sister differently, so my sister don't underestimate herself, my emotional sister is inferior to herself, my sister doesn't have to worry about what others say, and I don't have to worry about me. If my sister can Becoming the fifth prince's concubine, Awan happens to have one more person to talk to, so she doesn't have to feel lonely in the future."

"Sister, I'm sorry, I..."

Bai Ziwan shook his head with a smile, "Don't be sorry, I understand." He continued, "I just want to treat my sister as my own sister, so sister, don't be polite to me, stay at ease, and don't continue to think about it gone."
