10 His Majesty was Mr. Xin? (1/2)
Princess Ye'er was reading a books when her father summoned her in their ancestral hall.
”Really. ?” She asked excitedly. Lu'er her personal maid nodded her head and smiled at her.
”Xin'er. !” She excitedly called her.
Xin'er comes rushing towards her. ”What is it Gōngzhǔ?”
”Finally. .we can go out!”
”Really. ?”
Princess Yu'er nodded. She was so happy that at last! she could finally went outside.
She went on and greet all their servants that she saw on her way. They smiled knowing that the Princess they had known before had finally back to her feet.
She runs toward their ancestral hall but froze half way down. .
She was so excited that she forgot to give her father a proper courtesy . .
”Where is your manner. ?” Her father asked .
”Oh. !”
She turn back outside. .”Where are you. . .
She then slowly entered ”Greetings, Fùqīn. !” She said in a very akward position. Duke Yan bark into laughter.
”I really don't know what to do with you. !” He said between his laughter.”kneel!”
”What. ?”
I thought I am free to go out. ! she pout her lips and murmured under her breath.
”What. ?” Duke Yan's eyebrows raised up and his voice become more serious. ”You won't listen to me now that you have someone else to rely on?”
”Im sorry,Fùqīn. !” she apologize. ”But I don't want to leave you please don't send me away. !” She force a fake sob.
”Nonsense. !
She suddenly jerked when her father yelled at her. ” Fùqīn, Do you really want me to go away?”
His father sighed.” I dont want to argue with you anymore. .Hǎo, lets pay respect to your Mǔqīn first, I have something to tell you afterwards.”
They both kneel down and burnt three sticks of incense. .and muttered their silent prayer. .
”Mr. Xin asked to meet you!”
Duke yan said when they're walking outside.
”Mr.Xin. ?”
”You probably forgotten him!” He said with a trace of weary in his voice.”his driver is waiting for you outside and also. .
”Fùqīn, what's wrong. ?” She asked when she sense some kind of uncertainty in her father's face.”If you don't want me to go. .
”You go. ! just bring Xin'er with you and. .” He paused. ”If you want to say no. .this is the best time for you!”
She was about to asked him if what he's supposed to mean. . But he already turn his back and walked away. .she doesn't know but somehow she felt that something is bothering her father.
”Gōngzhǔ lets go. .” Xin'er put a black robe in her as per the duke instruction.
Her thoughts went somewhere as they were on their way to meet a certain Mr. Xin that her father had mention a while ago. She asked Xin'er if she knew him but she shook her head. It almost took an hour before the carriage stop in motion.
”Gōngzhǔ, were here.!” The driver informed . ” Mr. Xin is waiting for you in that side.”
”Xièxiè!” Xin'er told the driver.
As she walked closer to the old man she saw a flush of visions that suddenly pop up in her head. ”Mr. Xin?”
When Mr. Xin turn arround, her eyes widened in surprised.
”Greetings huángshang!” Xin'er automatically kneel down and pull her dress to informed her. But she could no longer response, she put both her hands on her head as she suddenly felt an intense pain. Her vision becomes doubled and she heard a clash of steel. .and. .and. .
2 months ago before the accident. . .
She was sitting for almost an hour in the river bank waiting patiently for the fish to take her bait. It was too hot and the sun shone just right above her, though there are trees that could shields her from direct sunlight, but still, it was hot.
Staying in couple of hours directly under its rays will be enough to turn her into a walking charcoal.
