I Am This Type of Woman

33

"Wangye!" Wangfei saw Hui-wang was terribly angry, she went over to hold his arm, wiped her tears and tried to persuade him, "Ning-er is still young and doesn't know a thing, don't be angry and hurt your body. Just a teenage girl, which of them don't like flowers and make ups? Moreover, she changed to this dress because of an accident, so there should be no problem."

Hui-wang abruptly sat down on a not-new chair, he sighed, "Do you think I want to see you all live this way?"

When he was still alive, his Father Emperor loved him so much. Thinking the Crown Prince was too petty and wasn't suitable to be an emperor, there was an intention to replace the Crown Prince. Had it not been because of the Grand Princess' machination, the world would long had been his.

"Father," Jiang Yuchen helped Kangning to sit down, his tone was heavy, "Are we to put up with this our whole life? The next generation, the next next generation, how long do we have to endure?"

"If we don't endure it, there won't be next generations," Hui-wang sipped some tea to suppress the bitterness and helplessness in his heart, "Your marriage matter, your mother and I have discussed it."

"Father?!" Jiang Yuchen looked at Hui-wang in shock, "Didn't you say...."

"It's different from the old days now." Hui-wang looked at Kangning.

"Ban family girl is too brash and her temperament is too strong, you can't handle her. Our family and Ban family also had issues in the past, and with their character, they would rather Ban Hua not marrying her whole life than let her come to our family."

Jiang Yuchen nodded, "This Son never thinks of marrying such a woman either. I prefer gentler and virtous woman."

"My son is really wise." Hui-wang was very pleased. His daughter was quite disappointing lately so it's good that the son was understanding. "I am relieved you think this way."

Talking about this, he sighed again, "Ban Hua is indeed a beauty, however her type is only fine as a concubine. A man's main wife should be someone who could keep a good home, dignified and magnanimous."

The eyes of Wangfei besides him flashed as she thought about those concubines in the rear courtyard but she didn't say anything.

All of the four Bans sat limply together on the chairs when they went back home, they didn't want to move.

Ban Hua drank half cup of Luhua tea from her maid's hand, only after that she felt halfway alive, "So tired."

"Sis, you already knew today would be a tiring day, why did you wear shoes with gemstones, did you not feel heavy?" Ban Heng didn't need any maid to serve him, he grabbed a bowl of tea himself and drank it down in big gulps.

"Such an important occasion, I'd rather be tired than not looking good." Ban Hua pointed at her own shoulders, "Good Ruyi, come give me a massage."

Ruyi walked behind her with a smile, lightly massaged her shoulders.

Ban Heng jealously looked at Ban Hua. The world was unfair to men, he would be called a pervert if he asked a maid to give him a massage.

"All of you, go take a bath and rest early," Yin-shi felt her heart ached seeing her two children tired, she dispensed with the rule of having the whole family eating together, letting them go back to their own courtyard.

Ban Hua was soaking in the bath, the warm water made her drowsy.

"Junzhu, would you like This Slave to come inside to serve you?"

"No need." Ban Hua touched her own arm. The greenish bruise had disappeared, under the warmth of the water, the area had turned pinkish.

Ruyi stood outside the screen knowing Ban Hua didn't want to be served. Worrying that Ban Hua would be afraid being alone inside, she tried to find some interesting topics to talk about. "Junzhu, I found something interesting at the Grand Princess' place today."
