Zui’er nodded: “Probably. Although I’ve never seen Miss Han, I heard she was very beautiful, always wearing a white dress, standing under the cherry blossom trees from morning to night. Quiet and ethereal, like an immortal. But among those who’ve seen her, no one has ever seen her smile!
It turns out that guy likes cold beauties, and I really didn’t see that coming. Fortunately, I’m not his type, otherwise being locked in this courtyard for years would drive me crazy…
I nodded, muttering to myself: “He must have kept that girl locked up here for too long, so she ran away…”
Zui’er slightly furrowed her brow, disagreeing: “But I heard that Miss Han herself didn’t want to leave Yingyuan. The Prince didn’t issue any house arrest order!”
“Huh? Why is that?”
The young girl shook her head blankly: “Zui’er doesn’t know!”
It seems the story between those two is quite complicated. Unfortunately, I can’t ask directly, alas, this is truly a kind of torture…
Zui’er looked up at the sky and couldn’t help pulling me: “Madam, it’s getting late. The Prince should be returning to the mansion. We should leave quickly!”
I stared fixedly in the direction of the bamboo building, unwilling to leave just like that. I turned around, looking at her with pleading eyes: “But, I still want to go in and take a look!”
Zui’er immediately shook her head, nervously dissuading me: “No way, if the Prince discovers us, we’ll be in trouble! If Madam really wants to see, you can come when the Prince is out next time!”
I negotiated with her persistently: “We’re already here, just let me take a quick look! I promise, I’ll take a glance and leave!”
Zui’er rolled her eyes directly, answering unceremoniously: “Madam, you just said you’d go in and take a look and leave. But now we’ve been lingering for almost an incense stick’s time! If the Prince discovers us, Zui’er and Shui’er will truly be expelled from the Prince’s mansion. Please don’t make things difficult for us!”
“Okay, okay! I’m leaving, alright!”
