Chapter 206: Playboy
"Princess, Young Master Helan didn't..."
The maid was only halfway through her words when there was a sudden knock on the tightly closed door. She was so frightened that she swallowed the rest of her words back and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it?"
"I."
"It's the third prince." Princess Xixia recognized Yin Taiyu's voice and signaled the maid to open the door.
The maid ran over, opened the door, and bowed to Yin Taiyu.
She didn't let Yin Taiyu into the room and asked, "What does the third prince want to see the princess for?"
Yin Taiyu glanced into the room and said to the maid, "Meizhen doesn't want to eat. I'd like to ask Princess Yujin to come over and talk to her and try to persuade her."
The maid asked him to wait at the door and go into the inner room to report to her princess.
Yin Taiyu's voice was loud enough that Princess Xixia heard it.
She had been getting along well with Princess Meizhen these days, but now she couldn't help but worry when she heard that she didn't want to eat.
She took off the ice jade from her eyes, asked the maid to put on her cloak, and went to take a look.
"Thank you, Princess." Yin Taiyu leaned over and bowed to Princess Xixia. "Meizhen is being willful. Please help me persuade her."
Princess Xixia nodded and followed him to the courtyard where the Goryeo envoys lived.
The maid was worried about her being alone, so she quickly called two guards to follow her.
The two courtyards were not far from each other. Yin Taiyu brought Princess Xixia to the door of Princess Goryeo's bedroom and knocked on it. "Meizhen, Princess Yujin is here. Please open the door."
There was no movement in the room.
Yin Taiyu had no choice but to turn around and make a gesture of request to Princess Xixia.
Princess Xixia cleared her throat and called out, "Meizhen, please open the door and let me in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of footsteps from inside the house, followed by the sound of a bolt being pulled. The door opened halfway, and a sobbing voice rang out from behind it: "Only you are allowed to come in."
"Okay." Princess Xixia heard that her voice was not right, so she quickly agreed and told the maid to wait at the door.
Yin Taiyu bowed to her again and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Princess Xixia nodded to him and pushed the door open: "Meizhen, I'm coming in."
She stepped over the threshold and the door slammed shut behind her.
The maid was startled and rushed forward to knock on the door: "Princess?"
"I'm fine." Princess Xixia's voice came out calmly, "I'll talk to Meizhen and leave in a moment."
Hearing that her voice sounded normal, the maid felt relieved.
Yin Taiyu said, "I'll ask the kitchen to send some refreshments over."
inside the house.
Wei Ming Yu Jin helped Yin Mei Zhen to lie down on the bed and said with concern, "How can a sick person get better without eating? I'll have someone bring some porridge over. You should eat at least a little."
"I have no appetite." Yin Meizhen's face was pale from illness, and her eyes were red and swollen, probably because she had just cried.
Wei Ming Yu Jin looked at her worriedly and held her hand tightly: "What's wrong? Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."
"I..." Yin Meizhen opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she met Wei Ming Yujin's bright eyes, she closed her mouth and swallowed the tears back. Only two lines of tears flowed down her pale cheeks and dripped on the back of Wei Ming Yujin's white hand, blooming a small splash of water.
Wei Ming Yu Jin was startled and quickly wiped her with silk: "I won't ask anymore, don't cry."
"Yu Jin." Yin Meizhen threw herself into her arms and hugged her. Her thin shoulders trembled slightly and she shed silent tears.
"Don't cry." Wei Ming Yu Jin patted her helplessly, "I'm not trying to persuade you to eat."
Yoon Mi-jin cried even harder.
Feeling the trembling and helplessness of the person in his arms, Wei Ming Yu Jin also wanted to cry.
She sniffed and said, "If you cry again, I will cry with you. You know, I can't stop crying. Last night, my second brother was poisoned. I cried for a long time and my eyes still hurt. Don't make me cry."
Hearing this, Yin Meizhen stopped crying and looked up at her hurriedly: "What happened to the Second Prince?"
Her voice was filled with concern and worry, and her tears flowed faster.
Wei Ming Yu Jin was busy wiping her tears: "Don't cry, the second prince's poison has been cured, and he has woken up. He is fine, don't worry."
"I'm not worried about him!" Yin Meizhen turned her head away, raised her arm and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve.
"You say one thing and mean another." Wei Ming Yu Jin reached out and pulled her away, "Turn around, or I'll leave."
As she spoke, she stood up, and a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her, preventing her from leaving.
A smile flashed across Wei Ming Yu Jin's eyes. He followed the force and sat back down. While wiping the tears from Yin Mei Zhen's face, he said, "Would you like to tell me? Why don't you want to eat?"
"I..." Yin Meizhen lowered her eyes and looked at their clasped hands, and said softly, "I don't want to enter the palace and become Emperor Sunguang's concubine."
Wei Ming Yu Jin was stunned, remembering her concern for her second brother just now, and asked in surprise: "You still like the second brother?"
"No, I didn't!" Yin Meizhen turned away in panic, "Don't talk nonsense."
Weiming Yujin was also a girl, so how could she not understand a girl's thoughts? Seeing her trying to cover up her mistake, he couldn't help but sigh, "Meizhen, we're all here to marry, it's not up to us to choose."
Hearing this, Yin Meizhen's tears, which had just stopped, began to fall again. She choked and said, "I know I want to marry a foreign prince, but I really like the Second Prince. I don't want to enter the palace. I want to marry the Second Prince."
Wei Ming Yu Jin said, "But Second Brother already has a princess, and he even lied to you. He's not worth it for you to think about him like this."
"It's worth it. Even if the Second Prince already has a princess, I'm willing to be his concubine." Yin Meizhen shook their entwined hands and begged, "Can you help me?"
Wei Ming Yujin herself was forced to marry into the royal family. Seeing Yin Meizhen like this, she couldn't help but think of herself and asked, "How can I help you?"
She said, "You are here to marry a foreigner. I can't help you escape the marriage, and there is no way I can help you escape the marriage. Otherwise, I would have already escaped."
Seeing her eyebrows knitted together in embarrassment, Yin Meizhen shook her head: "I don't want you to help me escape from marriage."
Wei Ming Yu Jin blinked: "Then what do you want me to do for you?"
Yin Meizhen said, "I want to dance for the Second Prince before entering the palace."
"Dancing?" Wei Ming Yu Jin was puzzled. "What kind of dance?"
"Luan Jing Yuan." Yin Meizhen's eyes were full of longing. "In our Goryeo, on the wedding night, the bride would wear a pomegranate veil and perform the Seven Star Steps, performing this dance for the groom to pray for a happy marriage and many children."
She curled the corners of her lips, clearly smiling, but it only made people feel bitter. "I can't marry him, but I want to finish this dance for him. Will you help me?"
"I..." Wei Ming Yu Jin hesitated. She really felt that her playboy brother, the second prince, was not worthy of Yin Meizhen's infatuation.
"Please, you're the only one who can help me now." Yin Meizhen's eyes were filled with tears again. "Yujin, please help me. I don't want to have any regrets."
"Don't cry." Wei Ming Yu Jin raised his hand to wipe her tears. Meeting her pleading gaze, he said helplessly, "Okay, okay, isn't it enough that I agree?"
"Yujin, you are so nice." Yin Meizhen turned from sadness to joy and rushed over to hug her.
From an angle where she couldn't see, he silently mouthed three words: I'm sorry.
