Bai Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes and heard these words.
She mumbled, "Sister Qingi, you care about him so much, why don’t you let Brother Chu Ping know?"
A few days ago, Qingi went specifically to the Imperial Hospital to inquire about Chu Ping’s condition.
Qingi turned around, her expression a bit awkward.
"If he knows, he’ll be happy and keep following ."
Bai Zhi’er was puzzled, "Sister Qingi doesn’t really hate him, isn’t it good for him to follow you?"
"Though Brother Chu Ping can be a bit glib, he’s only like that with you."
"He’s ambitious, and his martial arts are good too. Why does Sister Qingi always reject him?"
Qingi lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers.
She said sadly, "I’m just of humble origins, my parents died when I was young, and I entered the palace as a servant."
"Chu Ping has such a bright future, and his father is the Magistrate of Huizhou. With my status, I am hardly worthy to enter the Chu Family."
Bai Zhi’er imdiately put down her spoon.
She slapped the table, declaring, "Sister Qingi, though you’re my servant, I have never treated you as one."
"Besides, you’re my friend, Bai Zhi’er’s friend. Who dares to think you’re unworthy?"
"Moreover, hasn’t Brother Chu Ping said that his mother already knows your identity and agreed to have you visit their ho so she can see you?"
"No one has looked down on you, yet you’re belittling yourself. That’s not allowed."
Bai Zhi’er ran up to Qingi and grabbed her hand.
"Sister Qingi, status is not a problem. If you wish, I can arrange for you a better background anyti."
"The important thing is, you need to ask your heart whether you want to get closer to Brother Chu Ping."
Qingi was silent.
Bai Zhi’er took a nap at noon.
Upon waking, still groggy, she heard Qingi instructing the little palace Servant outside.
"Please tell Chu Ping I’ve prepared the dicine for him, and he can co pick it up after work tonight."
The little palace Servant hurried away.
After Qingi entered the hall, Bai Zhi’er was already standing at the table with her clothes draped across her shoulders.
On the table was a plate of honey-glazed red dates.
This was Qingi’s specialty, and Bai Zhi’er’s favorite.
She reached out with her mischievous hand, intending to stealthily taste one.
Qingi saw it and quickly said, "Your Highness, yours is prepared on the cabinet next to you; these are ant to be packed for Chu Ping."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her innocent eyes and withdrew her hand.
"Sister Qingi is really nice; seems like you’ve co to terms with it?"
Qingi blushed and packed up the red dates.
She said softly, "These are good for the throat; he coughs a lot, and eating them might help."
Bai Zhi’er snorted and laughed sneakily.
With an expression of understanding but not revealing it.
Qingi also decided in her heart that when Chu Ping arrived tonight, she would share her concerns with him.
If she could marry Chu Ping, Qingi couldn’t imagine how happy her future life would be.
Evening ca.
It should have been the hour for Chu Ping to finish his duties, but he didn’t co.
Bai Zhi’er suggested, "Why not send soone to check?"
Qingi shook her head quickly, "He must be busy, let’s not disturb him right now or he won’t be able to focus."
However.
Until nearly midnight, Bai Zhi’er was sleepy, lying in bed and dozing off.
Qingi was still standing at the door waiting.
"Sister Qingi~" Bai Zhi’er called out drowsily, "You should go check with the Xiuluo Guard."
Qingi had been waiting for nearly three hours.
Usually, no matter how busy Chu Ping was, he would co to see her.
But today, Chu Ping surprisingly did not co.
Qingi indeed felt uneasy, so she had to go to the Xiuluo Guard.
After she left, only two Second Class Palace Servants were guarding outside the hall.
Bai Zhi’er drifted in and out of sleep.
Then, suddenly, she heard a sound outside the window.
Bai Zhi’er opened her eyes and went to push the window open.
She and Feng Fuce t eyes, and both were startled.
