CH 23
Biying kept her head low, "The miss these days... is eating well and sleeping well, there's nothing unusual."
Although Biying was Ming Zhu's maidservant, but she was also someone that Zhao Zhi arranged to be at her side and thus she could also be considered a spy. Every move and action, and even any word that she may have said, she had to report everything.
Biying added, "The miss seems to like the jewelry Your Highness gifted her, these days, when she's not reading books, she's checking her hairpins."
The man's face was hidden in the dim light and his expression was uncertain, "Hmm."
Chapter 23
(8.3)
He put down the brush in his hand and said indifferently, "Make sure to take care of her when you go to the Ming family."
"Get out."
"Yes."
Only after Biying came out of the study did she dare to breathe heavily. The crown prince's aura - even if he usually restrained his aura in court - but when he raised his eyes and spit words, was like a sharp blade.
Ming Zhu woke up from a dreamless night and got up early to dress up. She picked a maple-colored long dress, binding her waist, with delicate water lily patterns embroidered on the skirt. After applying makeup, her beauty was so outstanding nothing could suppress it.
Zhao Zhi usually didn't allow her to wear such bright clothes, but she was after all a young girl and she loved looking beautiful. There were several times where she couldn't hold back and asked why did he not let her wear such clothes outside her room ?
Zhao Zhi then replied in a serious manner, "It's harmful to the moral order."
Ming Zhu didn't find it harmful to the moral order, and Zhao Zhi also appeared to like it when she dressed this way, when she was in her own room dressed in a dainty and bright way, he never said anything.
Biying came in and said, "Miss, the carriage is already waiting outside."
"Then let's go quickly, have my luggage moved to the carriage." She was a little impatient.
A few servants carried her luggage to the back of the carriage. When Ming Zhu almost reached the gate, she looked up at the sky twice, it felt like a long time since she had seen such bright daylight.
Ming Zhu's mind wandered off, and she didn't pay attention to the man who walked in front of her. Her shoulders suddenly felt heavy and she had an additional large red cloak on. At a loss, she came back to her senses.
Zhao Zhi tidied up her lapel as the daylight shone on his delicate face. His skin was as delicate as jade, looking so good he could shake people's mind. He said blandly: "Don't get into trouble when you go back."
Ming Zhu lowered her head and nodded obediently. The small hands in her sleeves clenched silently, her heart was hanging in mid-air, afraid that Zhao Zhi would change his mind and not let her go back.
She looked up again at the man in front of her, "It's getting late."
Zhao Zhi touched her face and slipped a hand warmer into her hands, "Get inside the carriage."
Ming Zhu's cold fingertips felt a burst of warmth, she had mixed feelings as she saluted him and then she climbed into the carriage. Inside, an incense burner had been lit in advance, and thus it felt very warm inside.
The carriage started swaying, she didn't know what had gotten into her, but Ming Zhu, who was sitting inside the carriage, suddenly lifted the curtain and looked back.
Zhao Zhi was standing in front of the doors with his hands behind his back, like a snow pine standing in the snowy wind. His figure was upright but looked a little lonely. Ming Zhu suddenly thought of her dream, from the beginning to the end, she could never see his face, she only saw an unclear picture of his back, which was trying hard to stand straight, but there was some kind of overwhelming loneliness, and she even found him pitiful.
Ming Zhu let go of the curtain with a sigh. She had previously wondered if, at that time, it was the servants who had overstepped their bounds and secretly brought her poisoned wine to force her to die. But it seemed that that cup of wine was really Zhao Zhi's intention. It's not like he never said to her that he liked her, when he drank wine at banquets and came back to hug her, he used to kiss her while telling her that he liked her a lot.
It was true that you couldn't trust anything a man said while being drunk.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage stopped before the Ming residence.
The Ming family knew about her return in advance. Only a year had passed and yet she was already out of favor and was sent back after being discarded by the crown prince who didn't think much of her. Because the Ming family wanted to keep their face and also because her father felt that she was a bit shameful, thus the servants at the main door led her carriage to the back door.
"Miss, the second master instructed you to come in through the back door."
Ming Zhu had no reaction, but Biying became furious as soon as she heard this.
The servant attending in front of the door was the most snobbish one. The fifth young lady wasn't favored at home, her temperament was gloomy and unlikable, she did look beautiful, but no matter how much of a beauty, when you looked at her often, she wouldn't feel special anymore. Most probably, the crown prince had also had enough of her and found her boring. After having played enough, he threw the person back here.
His attitude was very snobby: "Fifth Miss, don't make things difficult for us, if you come in through the main door, everyone in the capital would know about this matter immediately. The second master is also doing this for your own good, he doesn't want you to lose face."
(9.1)
When Biying heard these words, she was enraged, this was the crown prince's carriage, and even if the Ming family didn't regard miss Ming Zhu highly, they also should not bully the person like this.
Usually, Ming Zhu, who had been spoiled this year and whose temper had grown a bit arrogant as a result, shouldn't be enduring this kind of treatment.
But after thinking for a moment, Ming Zhu held back her temper and said, "Order the coachman to take the carriage to the back door."
Anyway, it wasn't her who was losing face. This slap was clearly smacked on Zhao Zhi's face.
Although Biying was Ming Zhu's maidservant, but she was also someone that Zhao Zhi arranged to be at her side and thus she could also be considered a spy. Every move and action, and even any word that she may have said, she had to report everything.
