It's been almost a week since I went out. As I walked out of the door, I felt an inexplicable sense of pride, as if I had already done something extraordinary. The people in my dorm room had always been holed up in my dorm when I was in university.
The streets were bustling with people. The atmosphere here was relatively open, so one could see a variety of people coming and going, as well as some people dressed in exotic clothing. They looked a little like the Persians seen on TV.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jing saw me stop and thought something was wrong.
"It's nothing. I was just happy. I finally came out for a walk. This person has been cooped up in the manor for seven days. Today, he can finally come out. Of course I'm happy."
I asked about an alluring aroma that wafted into my nose, and I followed it. It was the smell of scones, a little like the one we had eaten, but the uncle who sold it wasn't short at all, not even close to the white scene, but fat.
"Uncle, I want a sesame seed cake." I looked at the color of Jinhua pancake saliva occasionally read about to flow out.
"Do you eat?" I took one and asked Bai Jing. Bai Jing shook his head unnaturally, only then did I recall that Xia Shui had told me that Bai Jing never ate anything from the outside. I looked at him and felt that he did not know how to enjoy life.
I just took a bite. It was too fragrant. I was so happy that my eyes were squinting. Bai Jing could only dotingly smile when he saw my appearance.
As we walked by, I swept through all the delicacies along the way. Not only were the big and small bags unable to fit into my hands, Bai Jing also had big and small bags in his hands.
"Then what do you want to eat?" I belched and remembered that White had eaten nothing.
"I'm not hungry." Bai Jing just smiled and shook his head.
"Why don't we go back and eat at the restaurant? If you don't eat at the roadside stall, you can eat at the restaurant." I looked at Bai Jing and asked.
Bai Jing still had a warm smile on his face, but he nodded his head, indicating that he was willing to accept my suggestion. Thus, I happily pulled Bai Jing to the nearest restaurant.
As soon as we entered, the shopkeeper, who was a smart person, immediately came out to welcome us. When he saw the white scenery, he solemnly said, "Prince Jing, are we here for a meal or to work?"
I looked at the owner in shock. He actually recognized Bai Jing, but I later found out, that it was actually me who was ignorant and ill-informed, Bai Jing was a very famous figure in Xia Rong Country, mainly because of his goddess-like appearance, he once made many girls go crazy for him, and then some young masters and mistresses drew a picture of Bai Jing themselves, to look at the people and see them. In the end, the story of Bai Jing's appearance was spread around Xia Rong Country, and people wouldn't forget that Bai Jing's appearance.
"Eat." Bai Jing and his attitude were cold and indifferent, but the number four did not mind and welcomed him with a smile.
"Please come upstairs, I will arrange a room for you two right away." The boss tried to please him.
We were led into the private room by the boss, and all the guests on the way gave us a look of surprise. However, they were all frightened by Bai Jing's gaze in the end.
With a sigh of relief, I sat down at the table and placed everything I had in my hands on the table.
I continued to eat my snacks, taking some from this bag and some from the other one. I enjoyed it neither way, while Bai Jing looked at me with a doting expression, supporting his chin with his hands.
"What's wrong? Don't look at me like that." I noticed that Bai Jing kept his gaze on me without taking his eyes off me. He smiled but didn't say anything. He just stretched out his hand and gently helped me remove the pancake dregs from my mouth.
In an instant, I felt my face flush red. Embarrassed, I quickly wiped my face randomly.
I was about to say something to break the silence when a noisy discussion from the next room forced me to listen to what they were saying.
"My maidservants just said that they saw Prince Jing entering this restaurant. I wonder which room he is in." A clear and beautiful female voice sounded. I frowned. It was actually talking about Bai Jing. However, I don't think I've seen this voice before.
"That's right, but I heard that Prince Jing still has a woman beside him. I wonder who would have this honor?" Another voice spoke with a sigh.
"Elder Sister Sun, I say, in the entire Xia Rong Country, only big sister is worthy to be his match. One of you two is a husband and one is a woman, that is a match made in heaven. I had always thought that Prince Jing would marry Baili Ningxiang, but who would have known that she would die just like that because she offended Princess of Rong. The voice just now sounded again. However, such a pleasant voice wasn't very pleasant to hear if it couldn't be said.
I looked at Bai Jing in dissatisfaction. There was a rebuke in my eyes, and Bai Jing had a depressed look on his face. He was frowning as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Don't make fun of me, my two little sisters. I am of noble status in the Prince Jing, how could I ever get close to it?" I can't be more familiar with this voice. Isn't it the rumored number one female talent and number one beauty Sun Rouer?
"What if you're not even worthy enough for me? Who else is?"
"Yeah, big sister is the most compatible person with big sister in this world."
When I heard this from the room next door, I immediately felt that the food in my mouth was tasteless. I took a big bite of the meat and started to chew with all my might while staring fixedly at Bai Jing.
Bai Jing smiled bitterly helplessly, "If Xing'er isn't happy, I can ask the shop owner to chase them away right now."
"No, I haven't heard enough. What if I can still hear some stories about you?" I glared at Bai Jing again.
"However, I've heard that the prince treats his adopted sister extremely well, and those who ask for help always respond. I've even heard that those who are good even surpass the defenses of siblings. I don't know if that is true or false." Then the voice at the beginning began again.
I have also heard some rumors, but I have also heard that the Emperor has treated this Princess of Rong very well. Not only has he conferred her the title of princess, I have also heard that every time she enters the palace, she was granted the right to not get off the palanquin. I have also heard that a few days ago, the Imperial Concubine Li had been imprisoned by the Emperor because of his frame-up against the princess. Another voice joined the group of gossipers.
I thought it was funny that it had been spread like this, but the Emperor was so kind to me. After that, I felt a cold gaze on me. It was Bai Jing's turn to be unhappy.
I guiltily avoided his gaze.
This princess really can't be underestimated. I really don't know why her luck was so good and she was spoiled by so many people, so don't be fooled by her. Could it be that she used some shady method?
After I finished listening, I couldn't sit still anymore. I was too infuriating, to say that I was a fox spirit, she was a fox spirit, her entire family was filled with fox spirits, it infuriated me to death. I immediately stood up in anger and knocked on the wall a few times with my chair, creating a loud sound.
There was a pause, then silence, and when I sat back down, the world finally quieted down.
