Ever since the matter between the Sixth Princess and the Red-Dressed Princess was settled, she began to worry about the Fifth Princess.
First, he asked Hongyi about Baiyi's affairs, which made Hongyi jealous several times.
However, she didn't find out anything useful. She didn't know whether Hongyi was unwilling to tell her or really didn't know.
Today, she took her maid to look for the fifth princess, and after sending her away, she started gossiping.
"Fifth sister, you heard what Luo'er said. Do you really have no impression of Bai Yi?"
Even an outsider like her could see Bai Yi's feelings for the fifth sister, so it was impossible for the fifth sister not to feel it.
It was a kind of restrained liking, which was different from her perception of the man in white.
In her opinion, the man in white and the man in red were the same. They were both people from the underworld and their personalities should be free and unrestrained.
Now Bai Yi obviously likes the fifth sister but doesn't say it, which only means that he really cares about the fifth sister. He doesn't say it because he is worried that the fifth sister is still sad because of the matter of the former prince consort, so he hides his feelings.
The fifth princess poured a cup of tea for the sixth princess and handed it to her.
"Now you have the energy to take care of my affairs. I really don't remember it. I asked him, and he said he didn't know me before."
She thought about it carefully these days and really had no impression at all.
It's not that she didn't suspect that Bai Yi was lying, but she also felt that it was impossible for her to have no memory of such a handsome and extraordinary man like Bai Yi after meeting him.
"Oh," the Sixth Princess sat down next to the Fifth Princess and tugged at her arm, "He must have been worried that you, Fifth Sister, hadn't forgotten about that scumbag, so he lied."
"And Fifth Sister, don't you want to figure it out?"
The Fifth Princess looked a little conflicted. After a moment of silence, she said, "Of course I do."
"That's easy. Just act like a princess and pressure him into telling you."
"But you shouldn't be able to do such a thing, Fifth Sister."
The Sixth Princess tapped her chin with her index finger, and then her eyes lit up.
"There's another way. Fifth sister, go have a drink with him tonight. Once he's drunk, it'll be easier for him to talk."
People are generally more vulnerable at night, and after drinking, their guard will naturally be lowered. Once the guard is lowered, I don't believe that the white clothes will not be completely removed.
…
The fifth princess finally agreed to give the sixth princess's bad idea a try.
At night, she ordered her maid to take a jar of wine and go to Bai Yi's residence.
Normally, as long as she didn't go out, Bai Yi rarely followed her.
He didn't go out and just stayed at home. No one knew what he was doing in the house.
The Fifth Princess considered herself to be a patient person and would feel bored if she stayed in the mansion for too long. On the other hand, Bai Yi, who had once wandered around the world, was able to remain calm.
While she was thinking, she had already reached the door of Bai Yi's house. She took the wine from the maid, signaled the maid to wait outside, and stepped into the room where Bai Yi had not closed the door.
The man in white was sitting at a round wooden table in the middle of the room. There was a candle on the table. He was holding something in his hand and was looking at it intently. He did not notice the fifth princess coming in.
Seeing how seriously he was watching, the Fifth Princess couldn't help but lighten her steps and approach him.
When she was only a few steps away from him, the Fifth Princess's eyes were fixed on the familiar butterfly hairpin in his hand, and she did not move her eyes away for a long time.
That was the hairpin she had lost before, and she was very familiar with it.
The night wind blowing in from the door blew the hem of the Fifth Princess's skirt. While she was still in a daze, the man in white noticed her.
He quickly put the hairpin back into his sleeve, stood up, bowed, and whispered, "Princess, why are you here?"
The Fifth Princess's thoughts were brought back by his voice, and she raised the wine jar in her hand a little higher.
"Will you drink with me?"
The man in white looked stunned. Is it necessary to hold a whole jar just to drink a little?
I saw the fifth princess walking towards the door.
He hurriedly followed, and began to wonder why the fifth princess wanted to drink with him.
Could it be that seeing that several princes had gotten married and the Sixth Princess had found someone she loved, she thought of the past and became unhappy?
After the guy in red expressed his feelings to the Sixth Princess, he came to him and showed off, mocking him for being a coward.
In fact, what Hongyi said was right. He was indeed a coward. On the one hand, he didn't want the Fifth Princess to know that he had saved her, but on the other hand, he was hoping that she would remember it.
"sit."
The fifth princess walked to the stone table outside and sat down, motioning Bai Yi, who was distracted, to sit down as well.
Now that the weather has turned warmer, the night breeze does not feel cold at all, but makes people feel comfortable.
The man in white answered yes and sat down opposite the fifth princess.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the fifth princess's fair face. She picked up the cup above the wine jar, put it down, poured a cup and handed it to Bai Yi.
The man in white raised his hand to take it, observing the expression on the Fifth Princess's face subtly.
The fifth princess poured herself a cup, raised it up and drank it all in one gulp.
She didn't speak, and Bai Yi didn't speak either.
He just raised his glass like her and drank it all in one gulp.
After a few drinks, the Fifth Princess, who had a poor alcohol tolerance, quickly got red in the face.
She placed the wine glass on the stone table, and when she looked up, her slightly tipsy and blurry eyes met the suppressed heartache in Bai Yi's eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Although the fifth princess was a little drunk, she did not forget the purpose of finding Bai Yi to drink today.
She stood up, staggered to the stone bench next to Bai Yi, sat down, and stretched out her hand.
"Bring it here."
Bai Yi was puzzled, suppressing the pain in his eyes, and asked, "What do you want?"
"My hairpin," the fifth princess stretched out her hand and went straight to his sleeve.
Worried that she would fall to the ground if she dodged, Bai Yi did not dodge and allowed the Fifth Princess to take the hairpin from her sleeve.
The fifth princess successfully got the hairpin, raised her hand to move the butterfly on the hairpin, and suddenly looked up at the man in white.
"How did you get my lost hairpin?"
Bai Yi, who was originally a little nervous, was relieved after hearing her say this and confirmed that she was really drunk.
Since she was already drunk, there was no harm in him telling her the truth; she wouldn't remember it anyway.
He didn't speak for a long time, and the Fifth Princess was a little dissatisfied.
"I'm asking you a question."
Bai Yi looked sideways and said, "I found it."
"I found it," the Fifth Princess repeated, putting the hairpin in her bosom. "I found it, but you didn't give it to me and kept it for yourself."
Her cute drunken look made Bai Yi laugh out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
The fifth princess glared at him, but unfortunately it had no deterrent effect.
"I want to return it to the princess, but the princess doesn't know me, so it's not convenient for me to come and see her."
Bai Yi put away his smile, poured himself more wine, drank it all and said softly:
"Didn't the princess ask me before if I had seen you before? Today I can tell you the truth."
"Yes, I came here to drink because I wanted to ask you something."
The fifth princess tapped her head, looking as if she was listening attentively.
"Go ahead."
"Actually, I lied that day. I met the princess when I was ten years old."
