5 Compete For The Throne (1/2)

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.
