"Ziying greets the princess." When Ziying entered the room, Xiaoqing was standing in front of the window, staring at the finely carved window, staring at the dense rain falling outside the window. The cold wind lifted her hair in front of her forehead, but she seemed to be unaware of the coolness. It was not until she heard Ziying's voice that Xiaoqing came back to her senses. She turned around and her eyes became clear again: "Ziying, you saw Yufeng."
Ziying nodded and said, "His Highness the Fourth Prince is also opposed to the marriage arranged by the Jade Emperor, but the Dragon King approves of the marriage. Now His Highness the Fourth Prince is under house arrest in the palace and cannot be released. Princess, His Highness the Fourth Prince wants Ziying to tell you that you must help him find a way to cancel the marriage."
"Father actually agreed to this marriage!" Xiao Qing frowned. "He knows that Yufeng hates being manipulated the most, and he has always let him make the decisions on everything. How could he easily agree to the marriage granted by the Jade Emperor this time?"
Ziying guessed, "Perhaps the Dragon King hopes that the Fourth Prince will get married soon so that he can control his temper. After all, the Fourth Prince is too playful and still has no one he likes, so the Dragon King is inevitably anxious."
"Maybe." Xiao Qing sighed, "If Mu Yanran is the right person for Yu Feng, it would be fine. The Jade Emperor granting the marriage would also be a good thing. Unfortunately, they are not suitable."
"Okay, Ziying, go down and have a rest. I will find a way to handle this matter."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Xiaoqing calmed herself down, looked back at the rain outside the window which was getting heavier, frowned, and then suddenly walked out of the room quickly and out of the house.
On the street, pedestrians were walking in a hurry, all eager to get home to avoid being drenched by the heavy rain.
Xiaoqing wandered on the street, looking around, anxiously searching for Bai Suzhen, feeling angry and worried.
"Where on earth did she go? Even if she had something to do, she should have chosen a better weather."
After searching for a long time without finding Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing frowned, closed her eyes slightly, and used her mind to feel where Bai Suzhen was. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a hint of joy flashed across her face: "It should be there!" Staring at a restaurant not far away, Xiaoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Suzhen's aura was emitted from that restaurant, so it seemed that she must be in the restaurant.
Xiaoqing didn't delay and walked quickly towards the restaurant not far away.
Elegant room on the second floor of Piaoxiang Building.
Xu Xian stared at the woman in front of him infatuatedly, as if he was in a dream. From the first moment he saw Bai Suzhen, he was struck by the ethereal woman who seemed to be otherworldly. Now this fairy-like figure was sitting opposite him, and watching her gracefully and gently fill the wine glass in front of him, Xu Xian felt flattered.
"Mr. Xu, I will always remember your kindness in giving me the umbrella. Today, I have come to apologize to you." Bai Suzhen looked apologetic. She sighed softly, looked at Xu Xian, and said slowly, "Mr. Xu came to the Bai residence a few days ago. I was not able to greet him in person. I am very sorry. Please forgive me for my negligence."
"Miss Bai's words really embarrass Xu Xian." Xu Xian waved his hands and said in panic, "It was Xu Xian who was presumptuous. I really shouldn't have come to visit so rashly." He stared at Bai Suzhen for a long while, then his eyes dimmed and he said in frustration, "I was really stupid. I should have guessed that someone like Miss Bai must have already found a good partner. I just hope that my abrupt behavior that day didn't cause any trouble for Miss Bai."
"A good match?" There was a moment of confusion on Bai Suzhen's face. Xiaoqing's figure suddenly flashed through her mind, and her heart suddenly felt a little confused.
"Miss Bai?" Xu Xian couldn't help but carefully call out to Bai Suzhen after noticing something was wrong, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Bai Suzhen suddenly came back to her senses. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and gave Xu Xian a forced smile, then shook her head slowly, "I'm fine." She changed the subject and said, "Mr. Xu is a man of extraordinary bearing. He must be well-read. Has he ever passed the imperial examination?"
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "To be honest with you, Miss Bai, my ambition is not to pass the imperial examinations and become an official in the court."
"Oh?" Bai Suzhen asked curiously, "Why is that?" Although Bai Suzhen knew very little about the secular world, she knew that most men would study hard for ten years in order to get into high school and bring honor to their families. She was a little surprised that Xu Xian had no ambition to be an official. Bai Suzhen originally planned that if Xu Xian wanted to develop his career in the government, she would secretly help him, which could be regarded as a way to repay him for saving her life. Unfortunately, Xu Xian's ambition was not to be an official.
"Miss Bai, you don't know..." Xu Xian smiled and explained, "Since my parents passed away due to illness, I have decided to give up literature and study medicine. Besides, no matter if I am a good official or not, people will criticize me. I can't do it."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "I only know that bad officials are scolded. If they are good officials, why would they be scolded?"
Xu Xian shook his head and sighed, "Bad officials are scolded by good people, and good officials are scolded by bad people. There are many bad people these days, and it is not easy to be a good official. Therefore, I don't want to be an official anymore. I just want to be a doctor, save lives, and avoid being scolded."
Bai Suzhen couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Her eyes moved slightly and she shook her head slightly and said, "Mr. Xu, do you think you won't be scolded if you're a doctor?"
Xu Xian said: "How can I be scolded for saving lives?"
Bai Suzhen laughed and said, "What if you fail to cure the patient and the patient dies? Wouldn't you be scolded too?"
Xu Xian said with a smile: "Dead people can't curse."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "But the family of the deceased will scold you. What if they say you are a quack doctor who killed someone and report you to the government? You might even go to jail. What should you do then?"
Xu Xian was stunned: "This... I haven't thought about this. If that's the case, then I can't even be a doctor. What should I do?" Xu Xian frowned, looking confused.
Bai Suzhen saw that Xu Xian was at a loss because of her few words. She sighed and laughed in her heart. She shook her head and thought: This Xu Xian is really a stupid scholar! While she was laughing, she suddenly realized something. She looked up at the door and her eyes suddenly fixed: "Qing'er!"
