Chapter 23 - The Puppet's Tale (10) Part 1

Ah Jin was about to knock him off his feet without even a second thought.

'Why is this idiot trying to take advantage of me? I don't believe this!'

Just as Ah Jin was about to move her foot, San Qi frantically yelled in her ear.

'Hold your feet! Keep it down! Think about your mission. Think of your children! You can finish the mission quickly if the child can come out soon, right?'

Ah Jin listened to San Qi's speech for a moment.

Ah Jin couldn't stand it any longer when the robe fell off and flung him away with her hands.

The confused look of Rong Yi was so innocent and harmless.

Ah Jin suppressed her irritation and said, "I'm tired. We better get some sleep. That little secret you will get later."

Rong Yi felt aggrieved, of course, but couldn't force it. He could only take a step back and say, "How about I hug you then and sleep."

Not waiting for Ah Jin's reaction, he hugged her after saying so.

He kept his eyes closed no matter how much Ah Jin called him.

Ah Jin thought again about the mission in her mind.

'For the mission, endure.'

San Qi was smug in his space.

'You little brat, who couldn't handle you? I let you bully me.'

Ah Jin was also tired and fell asleep out of sorts.

When she woke up, she didn't know what time it was, but Rong Yi was no longer around.

Hence, she called out, "Hong Ying?"

"Yes, Princess. It is now Shen Shi."

Shen Shi was about three to five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Where did my husband go?"

"Replying to the Princess, the Imperial Prince Consort went to the study."

Ah Jin didn't ask much.

She let Hong Ying served and groomed her.

Watching the four busy servant girls by her side, Ah Jin suddenly remembered something that she had overlooked, the four girls were a few years older than she was.

There was no need to hold back the four of them now that she was married.

It was about time they found the right family.

Ah Jin asked as soon as she received the tea from Hong Ying, "I forgot to ask about your marriages. What kind of partners would you be with? Speak up if you have anything to say, and this Princess will give you the decision."

Who knew that the four people knelt.

"This servant doesn't want to get married."

"This servant has no one to marry."

"This servant desires to stay by the Princess's side and serve her."

"This servant, please Princess, please spare this servant from any marriage."

For some reason, Ah Jin cocked her head.

"How do you not want freedom? The ocean is wide, and the sky is high. The world is so big, don't you want to see it?"

Who knew that the four of them would say in unison, "This servant doesn't want to, Princess."

Ah Jin felt her worldview had taken a hit. How could anyone not want freedom?

Then she asked, "How come?"

Hong Ying said, "This servant believes the world outside is dangerous."

Huan Huan said, "This servant thinks there's no better place than the Princess's side."

Lan Yu said, "This servant has already seen the most prosperous places and feels that there is no more prosperous place than the Imperial Capital."

Lu Liu said, "This servant feels after marriage, this servant need to serve my in-laws and take care of my husband's children. No place is as relaxed and comfortable as being around the Princess."

Ah Jin felt that it was all her fault.

She ignored the trivialities of those around her.

She had freely flown up into the sky, to be a shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
