Luo Bai nodded excitedly, then pulled Ji Xingzhi's sleeve and shook it, asking, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Ji Xingzhi looked at Luo Bai's rosy little face. Her smile was clean and lovely, and her bright eyes were pure without a trace of impurities. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Luo Bai's chubby cheeks, chuckling softly and saying, "Of course..."
After saying this, Ji Xingzhi looked up at Ji Ruhua and asked, "Ruhua, why don't we go together?"
Ji Xingzhi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have never invited Ji Ruhua since she entered the palace, and Ji Ruhua had only invited her to a pastry banquet a long time ago. Although they had lived in the palace together, they had little interaction.
Although it was a polite invitation, Ji Xingzhi also hoped that Ji Ruhua would go to cultivate their relationship, so that Ji Ruhua would not hate her when the truth came out.
Ji Ruhua, however, was stunned, as if she had not expected Ji Xingzhi to invite her out of the palace to play. After a moment of pause, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, which looked very much like the sunset in the sky.
"Yes, beautiful sister, can you come with us?" At this time, Luo Bai walked over and took Ji Ruhua's hand, and said excitedly.
I thought Ji Ruhua would nod in agreement, but unexpectedly, Ji Ruhua just gently withdrew her hand, bowed gracefully to Ji Xingzhi, and said regretfully: "Your Majesty, Ruhua really wants to go out of the palace with your Majesty and the princess, but Ruhua had an appointment with the Prime Minister's daughter, Miss Chan, earlier. Ruhua cannot break her promise, please forgive her, Your Majesty."
Ji Xingzhi didn't think much about it, but just felt that this cousin, her nominal fiancée was quite trustworthy, and she inexplicably had a little more appreciation for Ji Ruhua.
"In that case, I won't force you." Ji Xingzhi smiled slightly, then took Luo Bai and the eunuch out of Fengling Palace.
However, after Ji Xingzhi and others left, Ji Ruhua stood in the pavilion for a long time with a gloomy expression.
A petite palace maid in pink, about a year older than Ji Ruhua, took two steps forward and stood beside her. A look of confusion crossed her young face. "The Princess and the Emperor have invited you for the first time. This is a rare opportunity. Why would you refuse? The appointment with Miss Zichan doesn't have to be today."
Ji Ruhua's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of bitterness: "Xiao Juan, you don't understand. If I accept the emperor's invitation, I will definitely become a laughing stock in the future. You also said that this is the first time the emperor has invited me, but it is because of the princess. Others will definitely say that I am relying on the princess's blessing..."
Xiao Juan suddenly realized what Ji Ruhua said. A look of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she said indignantly, "Princess, that princess is always clinging to the emperor and even threatening to marry him. Why are you still so nice to her?"
Everyone in Fengling Palace has witnessed how good Ji Ruhua is to Luo Bai. Anything delicious or fun is sent to Luo Bai first. Logically speaking, Luo Bai is a threat to Ji Ruhua, and may even shake Ji Ruhua's position in the palace. It would be fine if she didn't get rid of him as soon as possible, but Ji Ruhua did the opposite, which is really incredible.
Ji Ruhua's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, a trace of sadness and helplessness flashed across her eyes. She said lightly: "Luo Bai is very cute, I like her very much."
When Xiao Juan heard this, she couldn't help but pout, and called out with a rather disappointed look, "Princess."
Ji Ruhua glanced at Xiao Juan and saw her angry look. She couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not even angry, so why are you angry?"
Looking at her own princess, Xiaojuan finally understood what it meant to "the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious."
