Chapter 238 Huanbi 07
Huanbi ran a long way before her hot face gradually cooled down. At the same time, she realized that she ran very fast, but Zhen Huan was still waiting for her to go back and make wintersweet tea!
Even though she was going back empty-handed, Zhen Huan would not hold it against her, but she would definitely ask her what happened. What should she say then?
Saying that you were molested?
Or was it that I was praised?
Which is very shameful!
Huanbi felt so miserable that she could only return the same way she came, hoping that "Prince Guo" would not be there!
Thinking back to what he had just said and his dishonest hands, Huanbi felt embarrassed and annoyed. She still had the nerve to say that it was all his fault. If not him, could she blame herself?
Still friends?
Who wants to be friends with him!
Huanbi bit her lip and kept tearing the handkerchief in her hand. After teasing her, he wanted to be friends with her. What kind of person is this? So hateful.
Quickly returning to the wintersweet tree, Huanbi poked her head out and searched her bamboo basket.
Huanbi breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see that lecher, but she also felt a subtle sense of disappointment in her heart.
Just as I was about to go in and pick up the bamboo basket, I found that the basket was already full of wintersweets, each of them intact, definitely not picked up from the ground, and a familiar "cough cough" sound was heard behind me.
A bright red blush suddenly appeared on Huanbi's face. Facing the emperor again, she kept saying "you...you...you..." for a long time, not knowing what to say.
The emperor knew when to stop and didn't dare to tease the person too much. What if the person hid in Suiyuxuan and refused to come out?
So he looked at her sincerely, "Huanbi..."
Huanbi didn't wait for him to finish and responded with a bluff, "What are you doing!"
She felt that she should leave at this moment and escape from this strange atmosphere, but the emperor's eyes were so serious that she was embarrassed to leave. She stood there at a loss, feeling extremely awkward.
The emperor just blew a gust of cold wind, reflected on his own recklessness, and blurted out, "Forgive me."
The word "forgiveness" had never been in the emperor's dictionary. When it suddenly came out of his mouth, he was shocked.
However, since this was for Huanbi, the emperor let it go and told her that it would not diminish his prestige.
Huanbi was very conflicted, but when she thought of her own life experience, she made up her mind.
She knew that she was of low status and naturally could not qualify for the position of Prince Guo's legitimate wife, so the two of them could only be destined to be together.
This was because she was determined not to become a concubine. Her mother was a concubine who was not to be seen by the public, so she, as a daughter, became a slave and served others. Therefore, she was determined not to become a concubine. She did not want her daughter to fall into her situation one day.
Before entering the palace, her father had discussed with her that after Zhen Huan gained favor, he would ask her to help find a good family for her to be his wife.
Thinking of her mother, Huanbi's eyes became clear, with a hint of sadness, and the shyness just now was swept away. She said firmly, "I'm sorry, it's impossible for us."
Her words were too absolute, and her solemn little face seemed to be crying. The emperor knew that he should slow down now and not force her anymore.
So the emperor deliberately frowned, trying his best to let Huanbi feel his sadness and self-blame, "I know that I was too abrupt and offended you. I ask for your forgiveness. I am not forcing you to be with me, but I want to continue to be friends with you. Everyone knows that I am a prince, so they try to please me for the sake of benefits, but you only regard me as your friend."
"Huanbi," the emperor's tone became anxious, and he continued, "I cherish you very much."
After hearing what he said, Huanbi felt embarrassed. She had very few good friends, and she also cherished her destined friend "Prince Guo".
But now that things have developed to this point, can they still remain friends?
She had little contact with men and did not understand the sweet words they said. She thought that when "Prince Guo" praised her, he was expressing his love for her.
Therefore, Huanbi was confused about how to be friends with someone who likes her, so she chose to ask him, "Can we still be friends like this?"
The emperor's patience has actually run out. Even if he takes her back to the Yangxin Palace directly, who would dare to say anything?
However, Huanbi's silly question reminded him of the girl's stupidity and stabilized his patience which was about to disappear completely.
