Thinking that she wouldn't have to return to the palace after today's banquet, Shi Xi smiled with relief.
Despite the ultimate luxury of life in the palace, Shi Xi still yearns for freedom.
What's the difference between life without a cell phone and the internet and being in prison?
...
Ryan led Shi Xi through the garden and all the way to the banquet hall of the palace.
Previously, Shi Xi could only move around in the garden and her residence, but now that she had arrived at the banquet hall, she saw the magnificent side of the palace.
Various mythological figures are carved on the snow-white pillars, and golden chandeliers hang down, shimmering with the light.
In the vast hall, noblemen and women, dressed in fine clothes and holding wine glasses, moved freely among the crowd.
Upon seeing Ruian, many people stepped forward to exchange pleasantries.
That's how I got to know Shi Xi.
Shi Xi's face stiffened from smiling.
In the past, it was fine if the servants saw me in the study.
Now that she's been given the title of princess, will she be unable to shake off that title forever?
How will she make money by acting in the future?
Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time.
Bernita saw the two of them and hesitated before stepping forward, "Brother Ryan, Your Highness."
Bernita was wearing a light blue dress today, her long blonde hair half-tied up. She was already fair-skinned and beautiful, gentle and delicate, which made her seem even more endearing and evoked a desire to protect her.
When Ryan saw it was her, his smile faded, and he ignored her.
Shi Xi smiled faintly and asked, "Did you come alone?"
“Well, I don’t have any friends, and I don’t know where Ruoling went.” Bernita bit her lower lip and looked at Ryan. “Brother Ryan, may I speak with the Princess alone for a few minutes?”
Ryan hummed in agreement and said to Shi Xi, "I'll go take a look over there."
Shi Xi nodded slightly.
Once Ryan was out of sight, Bernita asked urgently, "Didn't you tell Ryan?"
"What did you say?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled.
"It's about the wedding!" Bernita was on the verge of tears, lowering her voice, "If Ryan really marries you, he won't be able to inherit the throne!"
"About this matter—" Shi Xi drawled.
"What? Did you tell him?" Bernita asked nervously.
Shi Xi smiled faintly, "No."
"You! How could you not tell me? It's such an important thing!" Bernita anxiously clenched her fingers and asked, "You, do you like Ryan?"
“This is between Ryan and me, it shouldn’t have anything to do with you, right?” Shi Xi’s voice was clear.
“I grew up with Ryan, and I can’t watch him do wrong.” Bernita stared at Shi Xi and said resolutely, “You can’t become Ryan’s queen!”
Shi Xi tilted her head. "It doesn't seem like this is something you can decide."
“You!” Bernita’s eyes widened, her blue pupils like sapphires about to leap out.
"Isn't this my dear sister-in-law?" A woman wearing a large silver crown gracefully arrived, interrupting their conversation. She looked at Shi Xi and said with a smile, "Ruian has finally decided to release you. I thought he would treasure you and hide you away until the wedding day!"
"Princess Hori, good evening." Shi Xi nodded slightly in greeting.
This person is the Queen's only daughter, Princess Hori.
She has a striking and elegant appearance, a cheerful and unconventional personality.
Rumor has it that she was the Queen's favorite child.
“Your Highness,” Bernita said, bowing her head as she saw Horry, “I remember I have some things to attend to, please excuse me.”
Horry ignored Bernita's departure and instead looked at Shi Xi with hostility in his eyes.
