Chapter 410 After the Loyal Servant Stopped Protecting His Master (6)
When he went to the palace to visit the Imperial Concubine, he also brought Bai Ruofu with him.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ruofu encountered Prince Huan here.
King Huan had met her once when he was young.
So much time has passed that Bai Ruofu has forgotten everything.
But King Huan still remembers.
When he first met Bai Ruofu, she was only seven years old. She secretly ran away to burn paper money for her mother while he was shopping at night.
He was passing by when he startled her.
The young King Huan asked Xiao Bai Ruofu, "In the dead of night, aren't you, a beautiful young girl like yourself, afraid of being kidnapped by someone with ill intentions?"
Little Bai Ruofu blinked her beautiful grape-like eyes and said, "This place is remote, no one will come here, and I know this place well. Besides... if I'm afraid to do something, I'll definitely regret it later."
At that time, Xiao Bai Ruofu did not know that the other party was King Huan.
One of the emperor's most beloved sons, the crown prince's younger brother, enjoying all the emperor's affection, the fifth prince of the Bin Dynasty, Qi Yunshu, would surely become a wealthy and leisurely prince if he did not wish to enter the court in the future.
Qi Yunshu regretted that he hadn't asked Bai Ruofu's name and background back then.
So much so that when I wanted to find her later, I had no way of doing it.
Bai Ruofu was a maid, not a young lady, so she was really hard to find in the inner quarters.
Qi Yunshu had thought about her for many years.
I was also afraid of being too forward with her.
Just asking...
"Young lady...do you have someone you love?"
Judging from Bai Ruofu's hairstyle, she probably hasn't gotten married yet.
Bai Ruofu was unmarried and had never been in love with anyone. She currently worked under the Lady of Lin'an Marquis. Bai Ruofu truthfully told everyone all this.
Because the other party was a prince, she couldn't lie. Otherwise, he could easily find out the truth through investigation.
Qi Yunshu didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he asked directly, "...Would you be willing to be my queen?"
"My harem is very clean. Once you marry me, you will be my only wife. I will be devoted to you and will never break my promise."
His voice sent a tingling sensation through Bai Ruofu's tailbone.
She caught the prince's eye?
Given Qi Yunshu's status, he could easily have married a noblewoman from a high-ranking family, instead of a maid like himself...
Bai Ruofu felt somewhat inferior.
My subconscious thought was to refuse.
But then Qi Yunshu asked, "What's your name?"
"...Bai Ruofu."
“A good name. I will remember you for the rest of my life. If you don’t agree, I will not force you, but I will never marry another in my life to show the sincerity of my feelings for you.”
Bai Ruofu: "..."
Since he's already said that, refusing would make me seem ungrateful...
Prince Huan, Qi Yun, is elegant and approachable, gentle and refined. He will surely be a good husband in the future.
"This servant is willing..."
"When there is no one else around, let's all refer to ourselves as 'I'."
"……Um."
Happiness came too suddenly, and Bai Ruofu was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Qi Yunshu's love came quickly, but Bai Ruofu could sense that Qi Yunshu was vastly different from Gu Junyue, who was a womanizer.
Qi Yunshu is a gentleman.
Bai Ruofu herself had decided long ago that if she were to marry, she would marry someone who was already a good person, not someone who was good to her.
just now.
Her wish came true.
-
The Empress and the Imperial Concubine did not get along.
Qi Yunshu is the Empress's son, and Bai Ruofu is a maid from the Consort's maternal family.
So no one expected Qi Yunshu to propose to Bai Ruofu.
