After Bai Zhi’er finished bathing, Qingi used the smoke cage to dry her hair.
"The Princess seems to have lost so weight after going out. I’m so worried."
Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly, her eyes shining with a bright black luster.
"Sister Qingi, please make a good al later. I want to eat with Dad and reward my tired and weary body."
Qingi laughed and said, "No problem!"
At this mont, a palace Servant announced at the door: "Princess, Prince Qing is here."
Bai Zhi’er was in the middle of removing her earrings and paused when she heard this.
"Uncle?" She thought her dad would be the first to visit her once he knew she was back at the palace!
Could it be that Dad was once again entangled by troubleso political affairs and couldn’t get away?
Prince Qing looked the sa, with charming and handso features favored by the heavens, not a wrinkle ford over ti.
Instead, when he smiled, he exuded a mature and handso charm.
"Zhi’er! As soon as I heard you were back, Uncle rushed over with so tasty treats for you."
Prince Qing placed a food box on the table in front of her.
When the box was opened, the sll of red bean paste pastries wafted out.
"These are new pastries from Zuiyun Building. Every ti they’re released, many people queue up to buy them. By the ti I got there, there were only these few left!"
Bai Zhi’er eagerly picked up a piece and took a bite.
It was indeed the sweet and refreshing taste she liked!
"Thank you, Uncle, it’s really delicious!" Bai Zhi’er was extrely satisfied.
Prince Qing chuckled.
Then, he seed to hesitate, just looking at Bai Zhi’er, opening his mouth and closing it several tis.
Bai Zhi’er took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
She blinked her lively eyes: "Huh? Uncle, your face indicates your Hongluan star is active. Is there a good thing happening recently?"
At the ntion of this, Prince Qing couldn’t help but spill it out.
"What Hongluan star, I think I’m more like plagued by an Evil Star."
Bai Zhi’er imdiately put down her teacup: "What do you an?"
"Do you rember when your father urged to get married? He even had the Ministry of Rites select so noble girls for !" Prince Qing said while shaking his folding fan angrily.
Bai Zhi’er was aware of this matter.
A month before she left the capital, the Ministry of Rites had already begun arranging it.
Bai Xilie said that if Prince Qing did not marry at this age and delayed any longer, it might be too late for anything.
Prince Qing said: "The Ministry of Rites is unreliable. They chose the niece of Historian Wang for . At our first eting, she said I was a ’buzzkill man.’ Zhi’er, do you know what that ans?"
Bai Zhi’er really didn’t know.
She shook her head lightly.
Prince Qing stood up in anger: "I didn’t know at first either; I thought it ant I was cursed!"
"Who knew she would laugh heartily after hearing it, without any deanor of a boudoir lady, and finally explained to ."
"She said I looked handso, but what I did was disappointing to her, aning I let her down!"
Bai Zhi’er burst into laughter: "How interesting!"
"Interesting? She was rude! No manners! I don’t like her, but my Imperial Brother thinks she’s suitable for and insists I continue seeing her."
"Today, Imperial Brother even forced to take her on a boat outing. I ditched it, so I ca here to hide."
Bai Zhi’er laughed heartily: "So Uncle is using my place as a shelter, well then. When Dad sends soone to catch you, I’ll just push you out."
Prince Qing clutched his chest, pretending to be heartbroken: "You must side with Uncle, Zhi’er. We’ve always been of one mind, right?"
While the uncle and niece were talking, Chief Eunuch Quanxi rushed in with a panicked face—
"Princess, please go to the Imperial Study Room quickly. Sothing bad has happened; the Emperor is about to strip Prince Kang of his title and degrade him to a commoner!"
