Chapter 670 - In The Wang Residence
Wang Hao stopped outside the chamber of Bai Yaling. The maidservant opened the doors for him and he walked in. He found Bai Yaling standing in the middle of her chamber. She had worn a white Hanfu dress which had peach-colored flower patterns.
"Good Morning, Princess Bai," Wang Hao greeted her and bowed before her. He lifted his head and asked her if he could come inside as he was standing near the curtain of the main door of the main chamber.
Bai Yaling nodded his head. Wang Hao came to her and halted in front of her. "I heard about General Wang's sister. Is she good?" Bai Yaling asked.
"Yes, she is fine. Prince Wanxi had saved her," Wang Hao answered.
"General Wang shall not have come to see me. He should be with his sister," Bai Yaling said out of concern.
"I cannot break the promise that I gave you the previous day– about taking you to my house. My sister also wants to see you. She will be happy to see the woman who stole my heart," Wang Hao said with a tiny smile on his lips.
Court Lady Dai, who was also present there, smiled upon hearing that.
"I have yet to take permission from the Emperor. Also, General Wang, I am a widow. Don't you think if I step out of the Palace, then--"
Wang Hao interrupted her in the middle. "Forgive me, Princess Bai, for intervening in the middle. But it is necessary to say. Nothing will happen. Trust me," Wang Hao assured her.
Bai Yaling nodded her head and glanced at Court Lady Dai. "Can I take Court Lady Dai with me?" She asked with humbleness.
"Sure. This is necessary too," Wang Hao pronounced.
Bai Yaling thanked him for being considerate and then, they left to meet the Emperor. After getting permission from Sheng Li, Wang Hao prepared a palanquin for Princess Bai Yaling and he himself got on the horse. As the palanquin passed through the main passage of higher officials' residence colony, a few eyes fell on them.
They soon reached outside the Wang Residence. The porters put the palanquin down while Wang Hao already had come near the palanquin. Court Lady Dai helped Bai Yaling to come out safely.
Bai Yaling looked at the top of the entrance where on a board 'Wang Residence' was written. "Princess Bai, let's go in," Wang Hao said. Bai Yaling hummed and they stepped on the stairs. Wang Hao grabbed her arm gently and she gazed at her.
"I am being careful with you," Wang Hao said.
Bai Yaling let him help her and they soon reached the top. Her eyes fell on an old man, a young woman, and then Huo Jin. 'He must be the Ex-General, the father of General Wang and she must be the younger sister of General Wang,' she told herself.
Wang Hao had sent the message to his father before talking with Bai Yaling in the Palace.
She found how warmly they were smiling at her. "How long will Princess Bai stand here?" Wang Hao's question brought her out of those thoughts. She stepped in, keeping her gaze low.
Wang Hao walked with her and the servants followed them. "Father, this is Princess Bai Yaling. She agreed to come to meet you all," Wang Hao said with a delighted expression.
Bai Yaling greeted the father of Wang Hao.
Yin Na came towards Wang Hao, who placed his hand over his head. "She is so pretty," Yin Na whispered. Wang Hao agreed with her.
"Welcome to the Wang Residence, Princess Bai," Wang Fuxing said.
Bai Yaling lifted her head but her eyes were still lowered. "I am Yin Na, Princess Bai. I am the younger sister of Brother Wang," Yin Na said and walked to her.
Bai Yaling gazed into her eyes and found she was quite young. She had heard that General Wang's sister had died long ago, but she wondered how come he had another sister. Maybe she had missed something.
"Welcome to our house, Princess Bai," Yin Na said with a smile. She looked at her brother. "Brother Wang, shall I give the tour to Princess Bai?" She asked him.
"Yin Na, I will do that," Wang Hao said and turned his gaze towards his father, who cleared his throat.
"Princess Bai, I just want you to accept us. We will become a lovely family then. My son showed his interest in a woman after such a long time. I will not say my son is perfect in every aspect, but I can assure the Princess that he is a great man with high moral values," Wang Fuxing said with a warm and bright smile. He patted the shoulder of Wang Hao and told him that he would head back to his room.
"Yes, Father," Wang Hao said.
Wang Fuxing walked away with his personal servant.
"Yin Na, come with me. I need to show something to you," Huo Jin urged her.
"Now?" She asked.
Huo Jin nodded his head.
"Princess Bai, I will see you soon," Yin Na said and left with Huo Jin.
"Is Princess Bai tired? Is she thirsty?" Wang Hao asked her.
Bai Yaling shook her head.
Wang Hao scratched the temple of his forehead as he was unable to think what he should do next. They couldn't stand there for a long time.
"Princess Bai, come with me. I will show you around," Wang Hao requested to her and then looked at the servants of Bai Yaling. "Shixuan, please take them to the waiting room," Wang Hao ordered his servant. Court Lady Dai and the five other maidservants followed Shixuan.
"Princess Bai, this is a small house of mine. Shall we head to the main house?" He asked her.
"Sure, General Wang," Bai Yaling said.
Wang Hao forwarded his hand, seeing which Bai Yaling got confused. "Give me your hand, Princess Bai," he said.
"I can walk, General Wang," she said.
Wang Hao smiled. He took a step and grasped her hand gently. "The first step towards each other is a must," Wang Hao told Bai Yaling. "Just the way I held your hand, I will hold you wholeheartedly," Wang Hao said with a smile. Keep calm and write something....
