I stood in the study room of the 12th Prince, watching him sit on the chair while I stood. I don't know if he was thinking about what I said.
"I'm asking you for help. Can you help me?" I looked at him in confusion.
"You didn't say anything, so how would I know how to help?”He looked at me with a smile.
"Tell me first if you can help." I tried to look at him.
When he saw me like this, his expression became complicated. There was a hint of worry in his eyes as he suddenly stood up solemnly.
"Xi Min, are you in trouble?”Yin Ran looked at me seriously.
"Please, how could I cause trouble? I just need your help.”I looked at him with disdain. I was so unreliable and a troublemaker. This was only the second time I met him.
"Okay, then tell me what happened first. I'll see if I can help you.”He heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, it's just... You also know that it won't be long before the time for the selection. I've also reached the age, but I don't want to enter the palace. But if I don't enter the palace, I have to get married. Can you…help me?”I lowered my head and said nervously.
I was nervous with my head down, but I couldn't hear Yin Ni's voice. Was he scared by me? He still couldn't help me. I raised my head and saw the complicated expression in Yin Ni's eyes.
"Xi Min, you…are really special. Others are begging to enter the palace, but you are doing everything you can to not enter the palace.”He smiled.
"Alright, stop laughing. Can you help me?”I stared at him carefully.
"How do you want me to help? Let me marry you." Yin Ni walked into my room and said ambiguously.
I was frightened by his words and his ambiguous tone. I took two steps back.
"You…you should be serious." I stammered.
"Hehe, I was just joking. Don't be nervous.”Yin Ni's expression returned to normal and he looked at me with a smile.
"That's good. You scared me to death." I patted my chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at me and walked over.
"Xi Min, what do you want to do? You also said that you don't have to enter the palace if you get married, then…" He became serious and stopped halfway.
"Then what? I don't want to get married yet. If I don't enter the palace or get married, why would I come to you?”I said angrily.
"En, I understand. You just don't want to enter the palace or get married.”He thought about it.
"Yes, I'm not used to entering the palace, and I definitely can't stand those rules. I really haven't thought about getting married, I'll think about it in the future.”I said seriously.
Looking at him thinking, I knew that he was helping me think of a way. As expected of my friend. This friend was really not in vain.
"This problem is really difficult to solve." Yin Ran frowned and sighed.
"I know it's difficult, but you can't watch your friend die like this!”I Twin Fists looked at him pitifully.
Yin Ni was stunned by my appearance. He coughed and turned around.
"Let me think about it." Yin Ran said helplessly.
"Yes, yes, I'll wait for you." I happily stood at the side and watched.
Yin Ni kept thinking, from standing to sitting, then frowning, and then walking back and forth. I just watched his actions from the side, and my eyes kept following him. Finally, after too long, I sat on the chair.
" I got it." Yin Ni suddenly stopped and turned to look at me." You just have to fall sick and not be able to participate in the talent show."”
"This is…Is there a problem?" I watched him stutter.
His solution is too bad. He will be exposed. I still have to enter the palace at that time, but if someone is willing to help, it will be fine.
"When the time comes, pretend to be sick. I will bring the imperial physician over. I will also talk to the imperial physician.”Yin Ran said smoothly.
"Are you sure? This way, he would be fine and could really escape into the palace.”I asked carefully.
" I think so." He hesitated for a moment before saying," Why don't I marry you? That's better. It saves me trouble."”
His words almost made me spit out the tea I had just picked up.
" Cough cough." I patted my chest and glared at him." What are you talking about? If I wanted to get married, I wouldn't have come to find you. I came to find you because I didn't want to get married."”
"Your words…Xi Min, do you have someone you like?”Twelve suddenly realized something and stared at me with his pure eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know anything.”I turned my head away from him.
"Looks like you really do have someone you like. If you didn't, you would definitely deny it.”He smiled and stared at me.
I didn't know that the Twelfth Prince was so smart. I wouldn't be able to leave if I didn't say it.
"Don't ask me if it's okay. It won't do you any good.”I had an expression and tone that said I wouldn't say anything even if I was beaten to death.
"If you don't tell me, I won't help you. I'll let you enter the palace.”He was determined to know. After saying that, he turned around and sat down to drink tea.
"It's fine if you don't want to help. I don't think your method is reliable.”I turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as I lifted my feet, I heard the sound of running behind me.
"Alright, I'm not joking. It's just that if there's someone you like, you can let him marry you. Then, you won't have to worry about entering the palace in the future.”He pulled my sleeve and said.
I turned around and looked at him. His hand was probably going to hold my hand, but in the end, he only pulled on his sleeve because of the difference between men and women. It was like a child acting spoiled.
"Yin Ni, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's useless even if I say it.”I lowered my head in discomfort, my eyes filled with confusion.
Yin Ni let go of my hand when he saw me.
"Don't be like this. Tell me who it is and see if I can help you find out.”Yin Ni bent over and looked at my face as if she had been wronged.
"I told you, don't be surprised. Actually…I like Fourth Brother." I whispered the last few words.
"What is it? You…You like Fourth Brother." Yin Ni was a little surprised and stunned.
"I already said I won't tell you. Look at you. Are you still my friend?”I glared at him.
"Xi Min, it's not that I want to say this, but it's really difficult to like fourth brother.”He scratched his head.
I don't think I will force him to do this. It's true that entering the palace is my destiny. It's a delusion to marry Fourth Brother. I can't just care about myself and ignore my family.
"En, I understand. Thank you, YinNi. I'll leave first.”I said dejectedly.
" Wait a minute," Yin Ni stopped me and lowered his head to say something in my ear. His words made my eyes widen. I think he really wanted to help me, otherwise he wouldn't have done this.
"You…really want to do this?" I looked at him in disbelief.
"En, as your friend, I will definitely help you. I, Yin Ni, keep my word. You are my 'female confidante', so don't be unhappy.”Yin Ni stretched out his hand to make me happy.
His words made me very puzzled. I actually didn't know him for long and didn't know him very well. He actually helped me so much and even made me happy. In this world, other than Ma, Mother, and Brother, he was also a very important family member to me.
He wants me to be happy, and I also want him to be happy. We will always be good friends in the future.
