Married To The Cruel Crown Prince - Chapter 594

“But there are doubts too, Prince Nianzu,” Bai Yaling reminded him.

“I understand, Princess Bai. What does Prince Yongzheng mean to you? Did he ever see you with love? Did he ever care for you?” Nianzu asked her.

“Never. He was my husband and going for a remarriage might be considered a betrayal from my side towards him,” Bai Yaling deduced. “My parents’ image might also get tarnished with my step towards remarriage,” she added.

“No one will raise the question. Does Princess Bai know why?” He questioned her.

Bai Yaling shook her head.

“Because everyone is aware of the crime of Prince Yongzheng. Since Princess Bai is not exposed to the Palace activities and outside world much, so she might not know but everyone hates the Second Prince for his actions. Also, everyone is concerned regarding your life. When the Emperor himself wants Princess Bai to remarry, then no one will dare to question his decision. Moreover, people also want good for Princess Bai. A few might be there, who want you to follow the path of widow chastity but then Princess Bai shall not get affected by them.

Do not hold yourself back. Spread your wings. That way you will truly feel happiness,” Nianzu comprehensively told Bai Yaling.

“Prince Nianzu, am I allowed to be happy? What if the new family I get into does not treat me well? No matter what but they may see me as–” she paused as words did not come out of her mouth.

“The Emperor will choose the best groom for Princess Bai,” Nianzu assured her.

“I know that His Majesty will find the best person for me. But my fate is not so good and it might again do something which I had never imagined. In the first place, I had never thought that I would end up becoming a widow at the age of 20. Like other women, I had dreamt of a great husband and a great family. My fate betrayed me and I ended up being a jinx,” Bai Yaling turned emotional, and unbeknownst to her, the tears poured down her cheeks.

Nianzu could empathize with her situation.

“Forgive me, Prince Nianzu. I did not want to fall weak by crying,” Bai Yaling said and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

“Crying is not a weakness, Princess Bai. Your heart must have gotten hurt after hearing the remarks against you. That’s you consider yourself as a jinx. It was not your fault. Whatever happened to you was for a reason!” Nianzu stated and stood up from the chaise. He went towards the table and picked the water jar. Pouring the water into a glass, he came towards Bai Yaling.

“Here, drink this. Princess Bai,” he said and handed the silver water glass to her.

Bai Yaling thanked him and drank the water.

“Do you want to drink more, Princess Bai?” Nianzu asked.

Bai Yaling refused and thanked him again. Nianzu grabbed the glass and put it back on the table.

Turning to her, Nianzu said, “Princess Bai, circumstances are tough on your end but it does not mean that they will remain tough all the time. It is said that when one door gets closed, another gets opened. Step inside it, leaving all of your worries behind. Only in the darkness, you can see the light. This opportunity is the light in your life which will eliminate the darkness from your life,” Nianzu asserted.

Bai Yaling gazed at him. She had gotten the hopes after conversing with Nianzu. Her restless heart had calmed down. She also wanted to live in happiness and this offer was perfect for her.

“Just be selfish and think about yourself for a second. It is your life, Princess Bai,” Nianzu advised her.

Bai Yaling nodded her head. “Thank you, Prince Nianzu for clearing up my mind,” She expressed her gratitude.

“Princess Bai does not need to thank me. Also, I assure you that you will be married off in a great family,” Nianzu gave her his words. He did not reveal though about the name of the Prince, whom Han Wenji had considered for the marriage with Bai Yaling.

Bai Yaling stood up and took her to leave from his chamber. Nianzu passed her a smile. As Bai Yaling came to the hallway, she encountered General Wang who had come there with a person, whom she could not recognize.

They greeted each other.

Bai Yaling stepped forward to leave when Wang Hao said, “Princess Bai, your father is arriving tomorrow.”

“What?” Bai Yaling was shocked to hear that.

“He wants to see his daughter,” Wang Hao answered and passed her a tiny smile.

“But I do not want to see my father. I mean…my father’s heart will break seeing me–” Bai Yaling paused as she was not supposed to say that.

“Princess Bai, your father also wants you to remarry. Hopefully, you will make a good decision,” Wang Hao stated. Bai Yaling nodded her head and walked past him.

Court Lady Xu walked after her and bowed upon seeing General Wang. She then hastened her steps to approach near Bai Yaling.

“General Wang, is Princess Bai good?” Huo Jin asked him.

“Hmm. She is good. I think she talked with Prince Nianzu. Hopefully, her doubts have cleared after conversing with the Fourth Prince,” Wang Hao said and then turned towards the door of Nianzu’s chamber.

Bai Yaling, on the other hand, was a little stressed now because the last person he wanted to see was her father. Her father would definitely break down upon seeing her condition. These past few days, she had lost weight and the charm too which she used to have earlier. The thought of facing her father was making her worry.
