The Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian 10 Chapter 9 - Gaining Attention 1

When the princess spoke her mind, everyone in the table abruptly stopped eating mouthful spoons of their meals. I stared at the food on my plate and savoured the delicious flavour in my mouth. The princess is the queen's favoured daughter, and the second female child of the emperor.

From the previous memories that I have gained it seems like we have the same birth year. The eldest daughter of the emperor died an awfully quiet death, she had a poor const.i.tution. So when this child was born everyone in the family regarded her as their flower. The fourth princess is barely incomparable to her.

The Empress graced the emperor with five children thus she never lose favour. The second prince w.a.n.g Haoran, the second princess w.a.n.g Rous.h.i.+, the third prince w.a.n.g Ximen, the fifth prince w.a.n.g Shaoxi and the fourth prince w.a.n.g Yuanzhen.

The crown prince w.a.n.g Jichen is the son of concubine Wu Ming s.h.i.+. The sixth prince w.a.n.g Shaoxun and fourth princess w.a.n.g Feifei is from concubine Qiao Ning. While the seventh prince is from the deceased concubine Li Yuyan. And the youngest prince w.a.n.g Wenxuan is the son of my sister.

"If the princess wants a playmate then I have no objections with her inviting my youngest daughter to the palace. Or you can meet here and enjoy everlasting peace, the manor is open for your grace." my father commented

"Thank you uncle, I'd be glad bringing Ze'er wherever I go. Life in the palace is boring, my brothers do things they are required to do and the emperor won't allow me to roam around the city alone. Bodyguards follow me along and it attracts too much attention, they would even force me to use carriages from the imperial palace to show my status and I hated that. So maybe Ze'er can accompany me freely." the meaning behind her words were clear, she wants me to help her get her freedom

"If the princess wants I will comply" I resumed eating while everyone was still in a daze.

I can sense that her physique is trained well. She must be practicing martial arts in secret. Or her brothers might have taught her.

When lunch was over the imperial sons and my brother went along with my father to the palace. My mother was called because of the matters in the auction house. My third uncle was tasked to go to the northern border and check the situation there so he left to prepare. The princess and I are the only one's left.

"Princess shall we take a stroll? The garden is in blossom and I'd like watch them in full bloom before they fall on the ground"

"You address me too formally, just call me Rous.h.i.+ or Rou'er"

"En"

As we walk she keeps on talking.

"How long have you mastered martial arts?" she asked

"Since I was able to read I have been reading secret books of martial arts from the manor's library. My family never knew that I have the ability to contend with them because I kept it in secret and chose to show it earlier."

"The dishes you've prepared, they are so tasty! Can you teach me how to cook them?" her eyes twinkled

"Sure, whenever you want"
