The Princess chuckled . "She has . But, you know I trust your skills more than anyone else . "

"Ying Yi's skill isn't, that bad . She is the best among everyone in the Royal Infirmary . Even great grandpa recognized her skills . " Mingyue said .

"I know," the Princess smiled . "I just wanted you to indulge me once in a while . "

Mingyue stared at the Princess and smiled .

"Speaking about Ying Yi . She has been sulking because you refuse to take him with you to the mountain," the Princess said . "She's supposed to be with you, but you made her stay in the palace . "

"I can't do anything about it . I need someone to look after you . " Mingyue made a mental note to drop by the Infirmary and visit Yingyi . "I don't have many people that I trust, and grandpa can't always enter the palace . Come on . "

The Princess held out her hand and placed it on the table .

She went closer to the Princess and put her fingers on her wrist to check for her pulse . She closed her eyes as she concentrates . She opened her eyes again and frowned . "You seem well . But it seems like there is something's bothering you?"

"You can see that there's something in my mind from examining my pulse?"

Jiang Mingyue took a sip from her tea . The fragrance from the flowers lingered in her mouth . "No . But I can guess from your expression . I know you long enough . " She smiled .

The Princess retreated her hand and flickered her sleeves . She drank her tea in silence as her cousin watched her . She opened her mouth and closed it . She was hesitated to say what was on her mind .

After a few minutes of silence, the Princess finally spoke, "Watching you and the Captain, my parents think it is time for me to get married . "

"Isn't that good news?"

The Princess looked at her with dread . "They are planning to hold a banquet for this purpose in a few months . They will be inviting a few eligible bachelors from neighboring countries . "

Mingyue blinked . "As the heir of the throne, isn't it better to gain a steady foothold sooner? With a husband on your side, it will be hard for anyone to threaten your position . "

In Da Cheng, the firstborn of the Emperor and Empress will automatically be chosen as the next heir to the throne, unless if she was proven unworthy .

The Princess might be the only child of the Emperor and the Empress, but she will still have to compete for the throne against her paternal uncle and cousins .

"That's true," the Princess forced a smile . "But sometimes, I wish that I could experience falling in love and marrying whom I like . But royal marriage isn't like that . I would be lucky if I could marry someone who I can tolerate to live with . "

Mingyue inched closer to the Princess and patted her slowly on her hand . She opened her mouth to say something but decided that there's nothing she could say to comfort her . Mingyue knew that she was lucky that she gets to choose her partner .

After accompanying the Princess for almost half an hour, Mingyue retreated to return to the Royal Infirmary . She walked along the corridor in silence and enjoyed the blooming flowers in the garden .

But soon she felt someone grabbed her wrist . Just as she was about to scream, a hand covered her mouth . Soon, her back slammed into a wall .
