Seeing that she was about to go to the guest house, Xiao Qing asked suddenly: “You will marry the emperor, right?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t know.”
“You will, I know you will.” Xiao Qing said firmly.
Bai Zhi laughed and asked: “How do you know I will? Why are you so sure?”
Xiao Qing said: “You like him, and he likes you too.”
“So what? People who love each other may not end up together in the end. It’s hard to say.”
Xiao Qing was puzzled: “Since you are in love, why can’t you be together?”
Bai Zhi stopped, stood on the round arch bridge over the small stream, and looked up at the hazy crescent moon in the sky, her eyes were blurred and sad.
“Falling in love is a very simple thing. As long as both sides think, I like you, you like me, then that’s it. That’s simple.” After withdrawing her gaze from the sky, she turned sideways to face Xiao Qing, “But getting married is not a simple thing. It’s just not about, you like me, and I like you too. Getting married means binding two people who are not related to each other for a lifetime. A lifetime can be very short, or can be very long.”
“I hope my life can be very long, so I have to be more cautious when I get married. I can’t just make a decision based on a momentary preference. You know, marrying him means that you have to accept everything about him. Do you know what everything means?”
Xiao Qing seems to understand. Chu Yan was the emperor. Everything about him represents the country of Chu, the Three Palaces and Six Courts, and he will have more concubines in the future. More and more women will scramble to give birth to a child for him.
And this was impossible for a proud person like Bai Zhi to tolerate.
Bai Zhi was different from ordinary women. She will never be bound by the world, the life she wants was simple and happy. She doesn’t want to lose herself for glory and wealth and become like a canary bird in captivity.
So, she won’t marry Chu Yan?
So does her young master have another chance?
Xiao Qing’s originally gloomy mood lighten up again and the bitterness on her face dissipated in an instant. She said with a smile: “Miss Bai, just do what you like. There are many good people in the world. If you abandon this one, there will be better ones waiting for you.”
Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly: “You, you just cry a moment ago and laugh right now.” Xiao Qing was not a complicated person. Her thoughts were all written on her face. She knew what she was thinking. However, she doesn’t want to tell her the truth, as a human being, one must have beautiful thoughts to live a good life, right? Otherwise, if there was only a dark path in front of you, how can you live every day?
The two stopped talking and went back to the guest house all the way. Xiao Qing went to the West Wing to rest, and Bai Zhi lived in the East Wing.
The yard has been taken care of, and the things in the house have been replaced with a brand-new set. The originally simple house has been filled with many exquisite decorations.
Bai Zhi didn’t like to be served by others, so she only asked them to bring her hot water, and then they all retreated.
She hasn’t taken a good bath in the past few days, and her body felt sore.
She took off her clothes one by one. Her pair of slender and straight jade legs, slender and beautiful back, upturned jade peak, thin waist, and white and smooth skin. Everything about her was breathtakingly beautiful.
She leaned on the edge of the barrel and closed her eyes to relax. How could she know that in the dark corner, there was a pair of eyes staring at her? After seeing her beautiful body, those dark and deep eyes have clusters of flames.
