Chapter 2 - Raise Flowers Into Trees
Another year passed.
Bai Ze had finally arrived at the place where she had left a long time ago: west capital.
Bai Ze felt that this place was still better. Although the west capital was bustling, there had never been a place for her to stay.
"Walking on the road that led to the general's manor, she turned a little and saw the golden words." "The General's Estate."
She remembered that two years ago, she was also the eldest young miss, but now, she could only live in seclusion without being able to see the light of day.
Originally, she was not called Bai Ze, but her original name was Bai Ruolan, the young girl that had descended from the White General.
She had been with the general since she could remember.
Until more than three years ago, when she returned back to the capital. She stayed in west capital for a year, and the emperor arranged for her to marry him.
As his thoughts raced, the scene from a year ago was still fresh in his mind.
The night before the wedding...
Bai Ruolan sat in front of the copper mirror and looked at the clothes on the clothes rack. The red head was embroidered with mandarin ducks. Thinking that she was going to be married tomorrow, her heart was filled with happiness and confusion.
"Dong Dong Dong ~" There was a series of knocks on the door.
Bai Ruolan asked: "Who is it?"
"Cousin, it's me." The voice was gentle and sweet.
Bai Ruolan opened the door and looked at Qu Weizhu carefully. Her eyes were red but carefully tended.
Bai Ruolan was surprised that she would knock on the door so late. Big Sister Tiny Bamboo? "
When Bai Ruolan entered the door, he was surprised to find that she still had a lunchbox in her hands.
Qu Weizhu frowned, her eyes red as she bit her lips. Bai Ruolan poured a cup of tea for Qu Weizhu and asked softly, "Elder sister, what's wrong?"
With a forced smile, Qu Weizhu opened the box: "I made these pastry specially for you tonight. Tomorrow, when you're married, you won't be able to avoid being hungry on the road.
Qu Weizhu pushed the plate in front of Bai Ruolan. The pastry on the plate were of all kinds and were incomparably exquisite.
Bai Ruolan looked at the pastry on the plate and tactfully rejected it: "Just make me some. I won't pick any." She didn't really want to eat at night.
Qu Weizhu pouted. "Taste it ~"
Bai Ruolan looked at Qu Weizhu's sincere smile, and Bai Ruolan lowered her head to eat a little bit. Finally, she made a conclusion, "The Gui Hua Soup is still the best."
Qu Weizhu's face was smiling like a flower, suddenly, Bai Ruolan was dazzled by what she saw, and felt that this cousin who was usually warm to the mouth, was like a poppy that could take one's heart and soul!
Bai Ruolan felt a wave of fear after seeing this.
's gentle voice sounded beside his ears: "Alright, I'll make you more osmanthus cake tomorrow."
Then, he heard Qu Weizhu sigh and say, "It should have been my wedding dress, but I accidentally put it on you."
"Bai Ruolan suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Cousin … It's impossible to disobey this imperial decree. " She subconsciously covered his chest.
"In the past, you kept calling him brother-in-law. Now that you are going to become a Princess, how can I not feel uncomfortable? " In that moment, Qu Weizhu's eyes flashed. Tears fell down like a broken string.
When Bai Ruolan saw that the girl was crying, she was at a loss for what to do. She had always liked showing kindness and enmity, but she did not know how to comfort him.
"If elder cousin really likes Prince Rui, then let him marry you in the future." Bai Ruolan felt that she shouldn't exist in this marriage. In the future, I will not fight for your favor with my cousin. "
Before he even finished speaking, Bai Ruolan's consciousness had started to blur.
But Bai Ruolan still tried her best to sit perfectly straight.
"You can't marry, I can only marry!" Qu Weizhu's tone was extremely confident, as if victory was within her grasp!
The more Bai Ruolan tried to open her eyes, the more she couldn't see. What followed next was a headache and sleepiness, she really wanted to lie down and sleep. "Cousin, it's getting late …"
Qu Weizhu's indifferent voice came out from the house: "Little sister, then big sister will be leaving now."
With that, Bai Ruolan lowered her head and directly laid on the Table, not moving an inch. It was as if she was dead …
She was like a hunter in the darkness, watching her prey fall into the trap and get shot to death by random arrows. The corners of her mouth raised slightly in happiness.
She got up and walked around Bai Ruolan a few times before softly calling out, "Ruo Lan, little sister? Cousin sister? "Wake up, the wind is blowing heavily outside. Quickly wake up, right?"
A gust of cold wind blew, messing up the red lip paper that had yet to be covered. It blew up the "double" that had yet to be pressed with the ruler, and the red character flew up from the Table, landing on the ground again.
The candlelight flickered and the figures of people moved about.
