CH 85

Zhao Xin thought that Ming Zhu at the very least had some affection for her big brother.

The women who usually wanted to pounce on her big brother were as numerous as carps in the river.

Besides, when her big brother wasn’t in an angry mood, he was very gentle.

Zhao Xin took two glances once again at her, and found it very difficult to take her eyes off her face, she was really particularly beautiful, but although her appearance was stunning, the air between her eyebrows was purer than water. She swallowed her saliva and softened her voice, as she asked, “Are you unable to forget Lord Wei ?”

Chapter 85

(30.2)

Other than that, Zhao Xin couldn’t think of any other reason at that moment.

Her big brother surely must be very good towards Ming Zhu.

The food and clothes prepared for her use must also surely be excellent.

Ming Zhu remained quiet for a while, without answering.

Zhao Xin apologized to her, “I shouldn’t have mentioned this, don’t take offense.”

“It’s okay.” Ming Zhu picked up the teapot and asked, “Do you drink flower tea?”

Zhao Xin was not thirsty now, but when she met her gentle eyes, she could not say no: “Yes.”

Ming Zhu poured her a cup of flower tea and, quietly and peacefully, continued to work on her needlework.

Zhao Xin picked up the cup of tea and lightly took a sip. The tea flavor was sweet, it was very pleasant. She looked at the girl sitting across from her and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

She was pure like white paper. The feeling she gave people was like a spring breeze, clean and fresh.

The fact that her brother could actually bear to hide such a good person in the backyard and only give her a concubine’s status was really, really, too unfair to her.

Zhao Xin put her hands under her chin, and stared at her intently, “You are so pretty.”

Ming Zhu’s face turned red, it was unsure whether it was from the sun or from her straightforward compliment. She lifted her face and her eyes looked at her seriously, “You are also very pretty.”

Zhao Xin waved her hand, “They all dislike me, they all say I’m too fat and still look like a child.”

Ming Zhu paused for a moment, her voice was gentle as she said, “You’re not fat, you’re just right, very cute.”

Zhao Xin absolutely loved to hear people’s praises of her, the non-existent tail behind her lifted up, she couldn’t stand the silence, her eyes circled around twice in delight, in the end she still couldn’t resist asking, “Do you really not love the crown prince? You don’t have to be shy, I will definitely keep the secret for you.”

Her big brother was after all one of the most beautiful men in the capital.

Ming Zhu used the scissors to cut the threads on the bottom of her shoes, then shook her head and indifferently said, “Mmh, really.”

Zhao Xin sat back, disappointed. She thought in her mind that being with a man she wasn’t in love with, she must definitely be having a hard time.

But Zhao Xin couldn’t help her much.

Her big brother was incredibly overbearing.

No one could interfere in his affairs, nor intervene in his decisions.

If he wanted a person, he had to get his hand on that person.

Zhao Xin let out a long sigh, “You can try to love him.”

If you can’t resist, might as well try to come to terms with the situation !

Ming Zhu smiled at her and didn’t say anything else. She did ah, she had loved him, but didn’t he have her killed ?

The sun was setting behind the curtains and the temperature wasn’t the same as it was at noon time.

Zhao Xin reluctantly said goodbye to her and, before leaving, said that he would come back to see her tomorrow.

Ming Zhu felt that she must be very young still, she was naive and lively.

Zhao Xin ran out of the courtyard like a gust of wind. As she rushed across the threshold, she stopped in her steps as urgently. Looked sideways at the man, she asked in a small voice, “Big brother, when did you come? Why didn’t you go in?”

Zhao Zhi swept her a cold glance and spat out the words, “I’ve just arrived.”

Zhao Xin was as if relieved of an heavy load. Fortunately her brother did not hear anything, otherwise she would have to die.

There was no emotion in Zhao Zhi’s eyes, “Let’s go.”

Zhao Xin fount it a bit strange and pointed her hand towards the courtyard, “Aren’t you going in?”

Zhao Zhi’s eyes didn’t even look towards where she was pointing, “I’m here to look for you.”

Zhao Xin mumbled, “What are you looking for me for?”

Usually, as long as she didn’t cause any trouble, her brother never asked her about her matters.

Zhao Zhi made an eye signal to the maidservant beside her and ordered the person to lead her to the room she was going to stay in.

If it wasn’t because Zhao Xin wanted to see Ming Zhu, she wouldn’t have come to live in the crown prince’s residence, which was cold and full of rules. Anyways, she wasn’t going to stay more than seven days at most before returning to the palace. They walked through a corridor and passed by a pebbled path, before they reached the room Zhao Zhi ordered the maidservants to prepare for her.

She seemed to have occupied the residence of the future crown princess.

Zhao Xin couldn’t help but say, “Maybe I should change for another room?”

Zhao Zhi laughed a little, “How can I wrong Your Highness the princess?”

Zhao Xin’s face changed, knowing that her big brother was now mocking her delicate nature.

“I’m not wronged, I can sleep with Zhu Zhu.”

She was soft and fragrant, hugging her while sleeping must be very comfortable.

Zhao Zhi’s face turned cold, “Don’t even think about it.”

Zhao Xin knew he would not agree, puffing up in anger, she sat on the chair. After sulking for a moment, she asked, “Big brother, why don’t you marry her ah?”

Her temperament was gentle and her appearance was beautiful.

Marrying the person and treating her like a treasure at home, wasn’t it good ?

Zhao Zhi said, “Don’t meddle in my affairs.”

Having been just been fiercely reprimanded, Zhao Xin instantly became a bit more well-behaved, though in her heart, she was still more or less defiant, but she didn’t dare to speak too loudly, “Zhu Zhu doesn’t love you and you deserve it.”

Zhao Zhi’s cold eyes pierced through her, his eyebrows raised up, “Speak louder.”

Zhao Xin closed her mouth, turned her back and ignored him.

After helping her settle down, Zhao Zhi left the place.
