Chapter 572

572 Fake Smiles

Chai Ni looked at the young lady who was supposed to be guarding the door with big eyes.

“Insolent! How did you guys working? This is my private room, can everyone enter here at will?” she shouts in anger.

The two young ladies lowered their heads in fear, Bai Ying came quickly and pushed the door of Princess Chai Ni when neither of them even noticed his coming.

Bai Ying smiled. He poured himself tea from the teapot on the table and took a sip of it.

“Take it easy, Princess, it’s not their fault, I thought you would let me in no matter what. Isn’t it? Em, the tea is decent, although not as good as the one at Yue Yang. Em, forgive me, did I surprise you?” Bai Ying asked.

Chai Ni clenched her fists, she glanced at the two young ladies as well as her personal maid to leave the room, leaving the two of them there.

Chai Ni placed a hand mirror on the table in front of Bai Ying.

“You tricked me, there are no grey hairs in my hair, do you have problems with your eyes?” Chai Ni asked looking at Bai Ying with big eyes, it made her lose her appetite and skip dinner.

Bai Ying looked at Chai Ni’s hair.

.....

“Em I was sure about that, let me see it once again” he got up and moved behind Chai Ni, seeing the princess’s hair from a very close distance. The goal, of course, is not just to see her hair.

“Here it is, there is one over here and one here” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Princess Chai Ni held her head. Her eyes widened when she saw Bai Ying.

“You tricked me, I’m still young why is there grey hair in my hair, this brat”

“No, I’m not tricking you, look at this, um hold on for a sec”

And without the Princess being prepared, Bai Ying pulled off her hair hard.

“Ah!” The princess screeched and got up from her seat. Her loud shout made several women standing in front of the door open the door immediately.

“Princess!”

Princess Chai Ni stood up, glaring at Bai Ying who was already holding a strand of her hair, and it was indeed grey hair.

“Damn it!”

The princess turned to several young women who were already standing in front of her door. Look at them sharply.

“Can you guys enter my room as you please? Get out!” she shouted loudly. Her face was red with anger, she looks like she could explode at any moment because of it.

Bai Ying smiled so wide that his eyes disappeared, it was so satisfying to see the Princess so angry that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“Hehehe please forgive me, did I pull it too strong?”

.....

Soon after that.

Princess Chai Ni was already standing behind Bai Ying helping him comb Bai Ying’s long hair. Bai Ying is the young master, favourite concubine and also the Viceroy, has he ever had the chance to comb his own hair? But how could he use Princess Chai Ni to do it for him?

“Aww, please be gentle, Princess, you’re pulling too hard” Bai Ying protested as Princess Chai Ni pulled his hair a little harder.

“Don’t move, you are so troublesome, I am a princess, why should I comb your hair?” Chai Ni exclaimed irritated.

“Well, it can’t be helped, Princess didn’t allow the maid to help me take a bath and do my hair, so far I’ve never done it on my own, its been a couple of days now and it’s so itchy, I want to wash my hair!”

“Don’t be fussy, don’t you realize that you are in my custody, a hostage, why are you still thinking about hair at a time like this?”

Bai Ying turned to Chai Ni. His eyes crinkled as he looked at the girl’s face with his head turned upside down.

“Em, may I know why did you take me hostage? I can’t do anything, nor smart, I eat a lot, and sometimes His Highness the Crown Prince often shouts and says that this Ying is stupid. Does, Princess is going to take revenge on His Highness the Crown Prince?” he asked.

Chai Ni stopped her hand movement. Looking at Bai Ying who slowly turned his head and saw Chai Ni who was moving beside him.

“Why should I take revenge on him? What has he done?” she asked.

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“Em, because, His Majesty, refused an arranged marriage with you?”

Chai Ni who heard Bai Ying’s innocent answer fell silent. She almost burst out laughing when she saw Bai Ying’s innocent eyes looking at her quite seriously. But she holds it. She continued to brush Bai Ying’s long soft hair, even though in the few days of their running he had not had time to wash his hair it was still in good condition and smelled nice.

“Since when did we get matched? Even if that happens, I don’t need to be angry, arranged marriages occur because of an agreement between two parties, and anyone can cancel it and the other party can agree to it. And no, I’m not betrothed to him.”

Bai Ying turned his head. Looking at Chai Ni with big eyes, what had he been thinking all this time was wrong?

“Really? But, I heard from your servant, if, um, you are going to marry the Crown Prince soon, that means, not His Highness the Crown Prince Luo Xiang?” he asked excitedly.

Chai Ni looked at the youth for a moment. Until she picked up a hair tie on the table not far beside them and used it to tie Bai Ying’s long hair. At least for tonight so he can sleep comfortably.

“Em, Princess” his big eyes looked at Chai Ni, the girl’s face was always not excited and always angry, but when he got to know her, Bai Ying realized that she was actually a poor girl. He could see it from the look on her face, which hid behind her anger all this time.

“Then, why did this very sweet Princess turn out to be scary like this? Aren’t you the gentle Princess Chai Ni? According to Her Majesty the Queen you are a very sweet Princess, smart, can play any musical instruments and dance with such flexibility, but what make you gather so many people with you to rebel?”

“That’s none of your business.”

Bai Ying rounded his mouth.

“Ohh, that’s true, heh, I’m just curious, and want to hear a bedtime story, this place is so boring, then when I arrive at Dai Yang, what should I do there? Will the whole journey continue like this? Heh, such a boring, at least let Ying go out to buy things and food, usually, I’ll have snacks accompanying me during the trip, um how about we stop by the city tomorrow?”

“You’re kidding me, you are a prisoner, what makes you have the right to ask much?” Chai Ni exclaimed irritated.

“Don’t be so angry, if I’m starving I can’t do anything, you don’t want me to get sick right? Eating a little makes Ying’s stomach hurt”

“There is no such a thing like that” Chai Ni exclaimed.

“Of course there is!”

Finally, due to exhaustion, Bai Ying ended up sleeping on Chai Ni’s bed, he said he was not used to sleeping alone and would have nightmares if he does. Chai Ni didn’t have another choice but to let the spoiled child lie down on her bed until he really fell asleep. Either because of the charm spell, Bai Ying completely lose his guard and closed his eyes in front of her, Chai Ni thought.

Silent, Chai Ni just looked at Bai Ying’s sweet face who closed his eyes tightly. A pair of beautiful eyes with eye-catching curly eyelashes, and smooth white skin without any blemishes or scars at all. The young man was very perfect, physically he was too perfect.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Heh, sweet boy, if it on other circumstances, we could be good friends, I admit it, you’re really such adorable” Chai Ni whispered, almost touching Bai Ying’s forehead with her hand. But she stopped when the boy’s head moved towards her.

“Your Highness, don’t eat that, it’s mine.” Bai Ying is delirious.

Chai Ni smiled. She hadn’t smiled like this in a long time. During this time she often put on a fake face in front of everyone and acted as if nothing had happened. But, she couldn’t do it anymore now.

“Heh, you don’t know, a face that looks like an angel from the outside but turns out to be evil.”

Chai Ni sat on the edge of the bed. Take a long breath.

“heh”

The sun was directly overhead as Princess Chai Ni’s entourage headed to the next town. And that time Chai Ni decided not to bring Mu Yi’s squad and others because she didn’t want to draw more attention before they arrive in the capital.
