Chapter 851: Don’t envy the princess
“I really envy you!” Princess Qianfang looked at Bai Zhi who was pulling out the needle, then suddenly said.
Bai Zhi was taken aback and looked at her sideways. Those eyes outside the veil were so beautiful.
“Envy me? What do you envy me? I’m just an ordinary female doctor. The princess is the phoenix among people. Thousands of people envy the golden branches and jade leaves.”
Princess Qianfang shook her head: “You speak so good about me, so do you envy my identity as a golden branch and jade leaf?”
Bai Zhi straightened up and looked at Princess Qianfang with a hidden smile on her eyes: “Does the princess want to hear the truth or lies?”
Princess Qianfang said: “Of course, it’s the truth. I have heard enough of the lie in this life, and I don’t want to listen to it anymore.”
Bai Zhi didn’t get along with her much. They didn’t even exchange a few words, but she could feel that she was always faintly melancholy. Not the melancholy after the drastic changes, but the melancholy from the inside-outside.
She doesn’t seem to be the same as the princesses in TV dramas or novels. She doesn’t showed-up an arrogant atmosphere. When she looks at people, she doesn’t have that aloof face.
So Bai Zhi was willing to say a few words with her.
“To be honest, I don’t envy you.”
Princess Qianfang raised an eyebrow, but there was no surprise in her eyes: “Oh? Can you elaborate more?”
Bai Zhi sat down by the bed and looked at Princess Qianfang’s eyes. Only in this way, what she said seemed to be a conversation between friends.
“I don’t know what other people think, but I, Bai Zhi didn’t be in a birdcage. The sky is very high, the soil is vast, and the world is big. I want to see it.”
Princess Qianfang asked with a smile: “You compare me to a bird?”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “Most women in this world have been raised like a bird. They are raised by their parents at home and then married off to their husbands. They have no self will all their lives. They only live the life that others told them to.”
“Some people live the life of a sparrow, and some people live the life of a canary. The princess is neither a sparrow nor a canary. You are a phoenix. You are raised to be a phoenix in a bigger and more luxurious cage.”
Jin’er felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that, she reached out and touched Bai Zhi’s arm, beckoning her to stop talking.
Princess Qianfang said, “It doesn’t matter, I know my own situation. I know in my heart that Miss Bai is just telling the truth.”
“Speaking of it, am I not just a phoenix locked in a cage? Although I am now outside the cage, there is still a rope tied to my feet. The end of the rope is tied to my cage. Sooner or later, I will still have to go back to that cage.”
When she said those, her eyes were full of sadness. Not the kind of helplessness and trouble when she lost her freedom, but sadness and pain.
There seems to be something unusual in these emotions. What is it?
Bai Zhi sighed, then said: “This may be life.”
Princess Qianfang raised her head and blinked her misty eyes: “What life?”
Bai Zhi bitterly smiled: “No one can choose who will be their parents are. You can only choose to live helplessly or strong. In short, this is life.”
Princess Qianfang stared at her: “How about you? Are you also living a helpless life now?”
The bitterness in Bai Zhi’s eyes immediately wiped out: “No, I am fine now. Although there are also some unsatisfactory things, it is generally what I hoped. I am not helpless, at least not now.”
