Later, Ji Xingzhi learned that Luo Bai was crying because she had a natural admiration for powerful people. King Luo told Luo Bai that Ji Xingzhi was the emperor of Lizhou and everyone had to listen to her, but the reality seemed to be different.
Therefore, Luo Bai was disappointed and felt that her father had deceived her and tricked her into staying in the imperial capital, which was like abandoning her in disguise.
"The emperor and the princess are here." The eunuch's voice sounded outside the palace, hoarse like the sound of a duck.
Ji Xingzhi rubbed her abused ears. No matter how much time had passed, she still couldn't get used to the eunuch's feminine voice. It wasn't prejudice, but the voice was really uncomfortable to listen to.
"Announce." Ji Xingzhi said, standing with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl in a pastel-colored long dress came slowly towards him. Her long hair was tied up meticulously, with two pearl flowers and a silk flower inserted in her hair. The loose hair on her forehead swayed slightly as she walked. Her white forehead, delicate face, beautiful nose, cherry lips, and gentle eyes made her look like a poem and a painting, as beautiful as jade.
Ji Ruhua really lived up to her name.
"Ruhua greets the emperor." Ji Ruhua bowed gracefully with a faint smile on her face.
Ji Xingzhi extended his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Ji Ruhua slowly straightened up, and when she saw Luo Bai standing beside Ji Xingzhi, she was slightly startled and said with a smile: "This must be Princess Luo."
Luo Bai nodded blankly, his eyes wide open and a look of surprise on his face.
Coming back to his senses, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Hello, beautiful sister. My name is Luo Bai."
Hearing this, Ji Ruhua was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Hello, Princess."
After saying this, Ji Ruhua turned to look at Ji Xingzhi: "I wonder why the emperor summoned Ruhua here?"
Ji Xingzhi paused, then said bluntly: "The princess wants to live in Fengling Palace, I want to ask your opinion."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruhua's body swayed slightly, and her face turned pale for a moment.
Ji Ruhua frowned and bit her lower lip. The Emperor wanted Princess Luo to live in Fengling Palace? Fengling Palace represented the throne of a nation. She was able to live there thanks to the Grand Emperor and the Queen Mother. What was the Emperor's intention in letting Princess Luo live there? Was he trying to destabilize her position?
Seeing that Ji Ruhua was silent for a long time, Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly but did not say anything, as if waiting for Ji Ruhua's answer.
But Luo Bai, the outspoken girl, ran directly to Ji Ruhua, hugged her arm, and asked doubtfully: "Beautiful sister, are you unhappy that Luo Bai lives with you?"
Ji Ruhua's body stiffened imperceptibly, and she forced a smile: "My princess, you worry too much."
"Your Majesty, Ruhua has sent someone to clean up the princess' room. Please excuse me while I leave first." Ji Ruhua bowed her head slightly and said softly.
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly: "Go."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruhua took two steps back, turned around and left, every move remaining elegant.
Looking at Ji Ruhua's slowly disappearing back, Ji Xingzhi pondered for a long time. Thinking of Ji Ruhua's behavior just now, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown and murmured: "Did she misunderstand something...?"
Just as I was wondering, a soft and sticky voice sounded in my ears: "Little brother, beautiful sister, you are taller."
Looking down at Luo Bai's face, which was filled with shock but also with a hint of smirk, Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly: "Because the beautiful sister is older than the little brother."
Hearing this, Luo Bai's face suddenly frowned: "Isn't little brother the Empress Dowager's eldest child? Shouldn't beautiful sister be little brother's sister?"
A Tao said that after the emperor came to power, all the empress dowager's daughters were given the title of princesses and her sons were given the title of kings.
Luo Bai didn’t understand. Was there something wrong with what A Tao said?
