EMPRESS TO PRINCE

CHAPTRE 38

Although Bai min was very angry with Arana's luck today who was always defended by Jikxi prince wherever and whenever it was. but Bai min also felt quite happy that the crown prince had already fallen into his trap.

In the future Bai min will continue to use Arana to always approach the crown prince by acting as a meek girl, and after the crown prince can get Bai min, she will be able to get her hands on him, of course Arana's life as well as that of Prince Jikxi will always be under her control, thinking about it Bai min felt very impatient looking forward to her.

"heh arana, your luck will be over soon" sneered Bai min.

In another concubine Huan xi niece of the great mistress held a tea banquet at her residence, the Huan family also participated in the invite including Arana who is now the daughter of Axi.

The purpose of the tea banquet was to match Bai min to the second prince (prince of Hanxi) like the previous plan of the huan family.

Grand madam Huan had asked concubine Huan xi for help to be willing to match Bai min to the Hanxi prince through a letter, the big madam said if the eldest daughter of the Huan family could get the Hanxi prince of course the support for the forest family would grow bigger, he said, the power of the family can be doubled mace and it can strengthen the position of concubine Huan xi in the kingdom.

Because concubine Huan xi had no other way to strengthen her position, because she was reported to be unable to conceive again after 5 years ago had a miscarriage due to being poisoned by a jealous consort saw concubine Huan xi pregnant with the emperor's child, what else at that time the emperor was so indulging the concubine Huan xi, making the empress dark in the eyes and directly encouraging someone to kill the fetus that was in the womb of the concubine Huan.

However, since the empress was an astute person, there was not a single piece of evidence pointing towards her when the emperor conducted an investigation, but concubine Huan xi knew very well that it was the actions of the empress who no longer had the emperor's affection, from that day on, concubine Huan xi hated the empress very much and kept trying to strengthen her position in the kingdom.

Consort Huan xi agreed to Bai min's betrothal with the Hanxi prince because he saw the benefits of the matchmaking.

Although Hanxi prince is the daughter of the empress but no one knows if the Hanxi prince hates his own birth mother. because since childhood the prince of Hanxi was always ignored by the empress and the woman only focused on her first son, the crown prince since he was inaugurated as the future heir to the throne of the kingdom later, because of that, the Hanxi prince was closer to the concubine Huan xi who always took care of him since he was neglected.

"Greetings to the concubine, may always be blessed" said the temple and Arana who came together.

"aiyo need not be too polite, we are a family stand up." said Consort Huan xi softly.

"thank you concubine." replied Arana.

"ah, isn't this the daughter of the future consort of Prince Jikxi?" concubine Huan xi looked at her second niece.

"really noble" answered Arana.

"you are very lucky to be able to get that cold child" said concubine Huan xi gently.

"the noble one is too complimentary" said Arana.

"let's enjoy what's been provided here" said concubine Huan xi, asking a servant to show Arana and Bai min the way.

Arana followed the servant's direction, showing him the place he was prepared for, as well as Bai min who was shown elsewhere by the servant.

"huh today I will release you, but not with another day" Bai min threatened in Arana's ear while whispering.

"honey, you didn't get a chance that day" cynical Arana then sat down.

Several nobles were also present there, many young people who were chatting warmly with each other, but in contrast to Arana who looked aloof without wanting to approach others, sometimes there are people who invite him to talk but Arana only answers briefly and does not ask questions at all, making the noble ladies feel bored when talking to Arana.

While Bai min he was still slightly shunned by the noble ladies after the celebration day of that time, but it can not be denied because his good reputation before being destroyed on one night makes bai min not difficult to invite someone to talk together, although the atmosphere is not as close as before.

Before long the princes were present at the tea ceremony, they were deliberately invited by concubine Huan xi into the tea banquet of his, especially the prince of Hanxi.

"Hail your majesty" said the princes.

"as his concubine residence invited many guests today" the prince quipped to the third (prince Hara)

"you are right prince. please enjoy the dish that has been provided" said Consort Huan xi.

"oh yes prince Hanxi, may you have a short conversation with your mother for a moment" said concubine Huan xi gently.

"of course" briefly prince Hanxi while following the steps of concubine Huan xi.

concubine Huan xi had a real stale relationship with the Hanxi prince before finally introducing Bai min as his nephew, then asking the two of them to get to know each other.

"your highness, this is the first lady of the Huan family, the nephew of the servant" said concubine Huan xi.

"hail your majesty" Bai min said as he lowered his head.

"oh is not this lady who is now famous in the stories of many people" the prince replied with a mocking look.

"really, your honor, it was due to the negligence of the servant, who could not control himself when drunk." explained Bai min softly, though inwardly very angry with the prince of Hanxi who discussed the embarrassing problem that night.

"had known you couldn't drink it still, next time don't drink too much or you'd do worse than before" Hanxi said.

"thank you for your noble concern, your noble message will be remembered" Bai min said as he clenched his hands.

"your majesty, my nephew is very young, it's only natural that he was careless and made a mistake" said concubine Huan xi.

"what she said was the concubine's mother was right, but I don't care about it, but just talk" the Hanxi prince relaxed while drinking tea in front of her.

"the original talk he said! it was clear he was insinuating me" Bai min's anger deep down.

"your sister should not be disrespectful like that, however Miss Bai min is the eldest miss of the ministerial family, and again the eyes can be deceived" the word of the arriving crown prince appeared in the middle of the conversation.

"graceful greetings" said Bai min when he saw the figure of the crown prince in front of him, what else the man is now defending himself makes bai min feel very happy.

"my brother was only joking with Lady Bai min, not as serious as the crown prince's sister imagined" lightly prince Hanxi.

"it's up to you" said the crown prince who could do nothing with his second brother.

"miss Huan, please forgive my sister's words" the crown prince said sincerely.

"no, your majesty, as prince Hanxi said, he was just joking with the servant" elak Bai min gently said.

"you are indeed a good girl" the crown prince praised, although on that night the crown prince saw the bad behavior of the bai min right before his own eyes, but he is very sure if bai min does not do it on purpose, what else bai min always keep his reputation for years long. (either since the incident at the restaurant a few days ago, no matter what, the crown prince's thinking of bai min becomes positive 😪)

The four of them continued to talk, occasionally the crown prince reprimanded the Hanxi prince who always insinuated spicy others, although it could not be denied, everyone has known the nature of the Hanxi prince who likes to be frank when dealing with people he does not like through his piercing words, but the man was actually very good but his kindness only focused on certain people.

While on the other hand, the new Jikxi prince who was present at the event immediately met Arana without meeting Huan xi's concubine first, prince Jikxi was afraid that someone would harm Arana in the tea party, because Arana status is now his fiancee so of course there will be many enemies of the prince Jikxi/ arana's love rival who will continue to target Arana wherever and whenever, it makes Prince Jikxi quickly finish his work and immediately rush to accompany Arana at the tea banquet.
