EMPRESS TO PRINCE
CHAPTRE 39
"Why do you look so tired?" asked Arana who saw prince Jikxi present but not so good looking.
"i've just done my job so quickly just to meet you, are you overwhelmed?" seduce prince Jikxi while pulling one of the chairs to sit next to Arana.
"cih" sighed Arana panted.
"like the tea banquet is not simple to see" said Prince Jikxi when he saw the table containing the concubine Huan xi, the crown prince, prince Hanxi and Bai Min were having a nice conversation with each other across the street
"since when did this notoriously cold Jikxi prince start taking care of other people's affairs?" cynical Arana with a mocking tone of prince Jikxi.
"i don't take care of their affairs just to judge" the prince said indifferently.
Prince Jikxi did not care if Consort Huan xi was trying to match Bai min to whom, most importantly Arana has now become his property no one should touch or even dare to injure arana without the permission of the Jikxi prince.
"Did you just let him go?" prince Jikxi asked as she stared cynically at Bai min, recalling the incident a few days ago in the restaurant.
"of course not" lightly Arana.
"then?" ask prince Jikxi.
"you wait and see" Arana relaxed.
"my woman is indeed different from the others" said Prince Jikxi proudly.
After a long conversation, the concubine Huan xi finally made her intention to the Hanxi prince.
"your majesty, doesn't my niece look so pretty?" said concubine Huan xi basa stale.
"it's beautiful, but it's a pity that it's less attractive" the prince said truthfully.
"why is that? she is a gentle and virtuous woman, though a little careless" said concubine Huan xi.
"did the concubine's mother plan on setting me up with her?" ask prince Hanxi to the point.
"is something wrong? oh come my son, you have now entered the age of marriage as well as my nephew, I know I do not have much rights in your marriage affairs, I know, but the happiness of a mother is seeing her child live happily" said concubine Huan xi sincerely.
"your highness, like this is not very good" denied Bai min who disliked his family plan.
"i also think like that mother, besides all this is not because the mother does not have the right to my marriage, rather I have not wanted something like marriage, hope the mother understood" prince Hanxi said as gently as possible, as she was afraid of hurting the heart of the stepmother who had been caring for the Hanxi prince sincerely since he was little.
"mother just wants you to be happy" mute concubine Huan xi.
"i know the intentions of the concubine both towards the second sister and also miss Bai min, but you also have to think about her second feeling, let those who decide will be together or not" said the crown prince mediated the conversation of the three people around him that.
"truly mother, after all I just knew Miss Bai min, and mother knows me very well" said the prince Hanxi.
"yes, but I still hope you will consider this, especially you Bai min" said concubine Huan xi.
"thank you for your noble kindness, I am very honored by your great desire, but just as the crown prince said, let us decide whether to be together or not in the future" bai min said softly.
"it turns out like that, really women cannot be trusted" Sinis prince Hanxi in heart.
"if that's what you want, your mother has no reason to keep forcing you, but she hopes you can rethink her, given the real fact that the election of wives for princes will soon be held in the kingdom" said concubine Huan xi considering that three people in front of her.
"thank you for the warning from your mother, therapy let me and the other princes choose a companion from the event, who knows there are those who are much more suited to me" prince Hanxi said as she insinuated Bai min, while bai min can only clench his hands hearing insinuations from the Hanxi prince who indirectly said that Bai min is not the right woman for the Hanxi prince.
"prince hanyxi you just wait! when I become the crown princess, I will instantly avenge this humiliation!" bai Min growled in heart
The tea banquet ended in the afternoon, the noble ladies had already begun to say goodbye to the concubine Huan xi, including Arana who was bidding farewell with the prince of Jikxi.
"We beg your noble retreat" said Arana and the prince of Jikxi simultaneously without bowing their heads (if Arana was with Jikxi of course she would not need to demean her, but she would not have to lower her degrees, since prince Jikxi will not allow that to happen, if anyone forces Arana to humble herself before others while being with prince Jikxi, he will be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is trying to humble himself, it was certain that person would instantly vanish at a later date without a single trace left there)
"be careful on the road, and thank you for attending this simple event of my residence" said concubine Huan xi softly.
"you are too proud of your majesty" said Arana then said goodbye to go along with prince Jikxi.
The two of them left the residence of concubine Huan xi to return to the residence of the Huan minister using a horse carriage owned by prince Jikxi, the Jikxi prince did not want Arana to return together with Bai min as he left this morning, he said, so Arana can only obey her fiance's orders.
"the concubine Huan xi looks very good" Arana said, opening her voice when she was in the same train as Prince Jikxi.
"it's just the outward appearance" briefed prince Jikxi.
"therapy can be seen if the affection of concubine Huan xi to the second prince is very sincere not like it is made" Arana said in response to the words of Prince Jikxi.
"yes the affection of concubine Huan xi to the second kaka is real, but he is not that good" explained the prince Jikxi confirmed Arana's words.
"do you hate him?" arana asked while looking at Prince Jikxi.
"there is no reason to hate her" flat prince Jikxi, but Arana did not answer her, she turned her gaze out the window of the carriage to look at the scenery out there while thinking of something.
After the last conversation, not a single person opened their voice, neither prince Jikxi nor his second aura were the same in a silent atmosphere without a single person planning to open his voice.
Arana drifted into her mind thinking of a way to avenge Bai min's actions, knowing that Bai min was targeting the position of crown princess, it can be seen from the behavior of Bai min in front of the crown prince at that time and also today, he said, but even more annoying, the crown prince looks not to mind the attitude of bai min to him instead looks so admiring Bai min.
"does he really not mind or really stupid?, I don't know for sure about it" Arana sneered inwardly, but surely, she said, Arana will never let bai min get the position he wants easily, because arana knows the end in the future if Bai min really can get the position.
While the prince of Jikxi was thinking about the emperor's plan to target the Huan minister who had committed many crimes and all the evidence had also been in the hands of the emperor just lacking some other evidence to be able to destroying the power of the Huan minister and giving the death penalty to the huan minister and his entire family.
prince Jikxi did not care about everyone in the Huan family but Arana, but prince Jikxi was afraid that later the entire Arana family would be sentenced to death by the emperor Arana would feel sad.
No matter how much hatred Arana keeps in her heart for the entire family of the minister of huan, prince Jikxi clearly knew if her little girl had a fragile heart behind her cold and indifferent demeanor, therefore, Prince Jikxi continued to think of ways so that Arana did not feel sad and destroyed when bad things really happened.
"I will definitely continue to look after you, both in the past and in the future" murmured the Jikxi prince as he stared at the scenery outside the train window.
