Bai Zi, startled, looked up, to see Prince Aisi standing by the window.
His whole face was veiled in bright light, making him look like a Buddha radiated with golden glow, capable of delivering all beings from suffering.
At least, he could deliver Bai Zi.
Bai Zi was having whirlwind thoughts. Had she entered the wrong room?
From his tone, it didn't seem like he was expecting her.
Should she leave now?
If she did, she would offend Prince Aisi and sever her own retreat.
But if she stayed...
...
Zhu Jiao glanced around the room. Compared to the exquisiteness and tidiness of the Deman Building, it fell short. She asked, "Sister Su, it seems like you've worn this outfit before to a palace banquet? By the way, why did you invite me here today? Any signature dishes?"
Speaking of which, she started to peruse the menu intently.
She loved to eat, but her status had limited her to few places. Today, finally at a new venue, how could she resist trying something new?
