Chapter 109 Sister and brother talk
There were only two people, a brother and a sister, left in the hall.
Ji Huashang looked at his brother standing beside him, narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Xue'er, tell me honestly, do you like King Beichen?"
Ji Ruxue was slightly startled, her eyes dodging: "No...no~"
"No?"
Ji Huashang narrowed her eyes and glared at Ji Ruxue.
"Can you hide your little tricks from my sister? I saw that you had feelings for the King of Beichen that day when we were boating. You looked distracted after returning to the palace. Who else could it be if not for the King of Beichen?"
"Sister Royal~"
Ji Ruxue lowered her head shyly, with a slight blush on her fair face.
"I...I like her, I want to marry her, I..."
"Nonsense!"
Ji Huashang scolded coldly: "Do you know that she already has a fiancé? Are you going to be a concubine?"
She couldn't imagine that her brother actually fell in love with King Beichen. Although she admired that man very much, she didn't know much about him.
If her brother had brought it up earlier, she could have investigated the man's character. If he was a good person, she could have fought for him.
But before any action was taken, the imperial decree granting the marriage came out.
Thinking back to King Beichen's personal admission on the day of boating on the lake, and his attitude towards that man, it was obvious that his brother no longer had a chance.
Ji Ruxue’s face turned pale, she bit her pink lips lightly and spoke in a stammering voice.
"I……"
"As long as I can marry her, I...I am willing..."
"Snapped!"
Ji Huashang slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Ji Ruxue and scolding her.
"How can you, a prince, become a concubine?!"
"I won't allow it! Even my father won't agree to it!"
Ji Ruxue was startled, her face turned paler and her eyes slightly red.
"Sister Royal~"
Ji Huashang also knew that she had overreacted, so she calmed down and tried to persuade him.
"Xue'er, listen to my sister. The King of Beichen is not a good match for you. I will find you a better wife than her in the future. Don't even think about the King of Beichen."
"No...Royal sister, I..." Ji Ruxue's face was pale and she wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ji Huashang.
"Okay, you don't even know who she is, but you're attracted to her after meeting her two or three times?"
"You also saw it on the day we were boating on the lake. She didn't even have you in her eyes. Not to mention that she already has a husband. Even if she didn't, do you think you could marry her if you wanted to? Would the Queen Mother agree?"
Royal marriages were unusual, and political marriages were common.
Wanting to pursue what you like is simply a pipe dream.
Unless you get it through abnormal means, will you be happy if you get it?
Ji Ruxue understood this truth, didn't she?
It is because I understand that I am unwilling to give up.
Is it wrong to pursue someone you like?
"Sister Royal~"
Ji Huashang glanced at him and sighed, "Think about it carefully."
After that, he turned and left.
Ji Ruxue fell into the chair, tears in her eyes and a bitter smile.
“Why can’t we pursue what we love?”
"It would be great if I wasn't born in a royal family."
Beichen Palace, Mingyue Pavilion
"Qingyi, why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Di Ran sat beside the bed, frowning as he looked at Ji Yunxie who was lying unconscious on the bed.
"This... Logically speaking, he should be awake. His pulse is also very calm, nothing abnormal."
After taking the pulse, Qingyi looked puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
Di Ran frowned and glanced at Qing Yi calmly: "Okay, you go down first."
Qingyi: "Yes."
The door was closed.
Di Ran looked at Ji Yunxie lying on the bed, his eyes soft and gentle.
She reached out and gently lifted the black hair from his forehead, then touched the white gauze wrapped around his forehead, her eyes slightly cold.
"Xiaojiu, wake up quickly."
"With this king here, no one will hurt you anymore."
