MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 3: Who would be her husband?
PART 24 – THE APPOLOGY
The day after, Hou Lei woke up early. She chose to wear a pink dress, having her breakfast and greeting the Queen. She walked around the Palace and got to the kitchen. All the chefs welcomed her with the warmness. She cooked some dishes and said:
-Please help me keep them warm for lunch.
-My Princess, your dishes will be always ready for you! – The chefs said.
She then put some fresh flowers in her room, cleaning the room a bit, tidying her things. She walked out at the small garden, watering the flowers, feeding the fishes and brought the zither she had taken from the instrumental room of Tian Liam. Ah Jiang felt that she was different from her normal life, she looked fresher and happier. She asked Ah Jiang:
-Does my face have any dirt?
-Oh, no, you're very beautiful my Princess! – Ah Jiang answered. – Forgive me for asking this. You look different from normal.
-Well, I just think what should come will come, so I don't want to waste my happy time when I can still enjoy them. – Hou Lei answered.
-So... - Ah Jiang paused.
-So what? Just tell me, I don't punish you anything, you know me, right?
-So you accept that you will marry the Third Prince?
-I don't know, it's the fate, I can't fight it, but I will need him to prove what he said is the truth!
-My Princess, I'm happy when seeing you like this. You deserve good things, and you deserve the love of the Third Prince.
-I don't ask him to love me much, because I don't know if I love him or not.
-Time will make its magic come true, and you two will know your love is right or not!
-Yup, let the time answer. Now, you come from the Third Prince place and send him my invitation for lunch today with me here.
Ah Jiang went to Tian Liam's place and said as Hou Lei required. He was still sleeping at that time due to having a tired day before. But just when listening that Hou Lei invited him to have lunch with her making him wake up without a concern. Then he spent all his morning to think about what he should wear to meet her. He should be luxurious or simple, he should wear what color, should he bring some flowers to her? It was not their first date but with him, every date was his first date with her. After changing many clothes, he remembered that she liked black clothes, he found all of his clothes and found a black suit.

He walked to her room, still felt a little nervous. He did not know if she did not care about what had happened yesterday or not, would she get angry with him for something today, he had to be careful on each move and his words, too. He wanted everything to be smooth, he had prepared very well and what to say with her.
He stood in front of the door and knocked. No one answered he stepped roundly. He still remembered when he got into her room without permission, she was very angry. He waited patiently, but there was still no answer. He slowly got closer to the door and opened it.
-Wang Tian Liam, you want to get into my room without permission again? – Hou Lei returned from the kitchen with Ah Jiang bringing the tray of dishes for her.
-Sorry... - He paused. – I didn't mean to do that. I've been waiting for you for so long.
-My Prince, you're out of your mind?
- Did you invite me to have lunch with you? – He doubted. – Or this is another joke?
-Yup, I invited you. – She pointed on his forehead. – But I invited you to come to the Horse hour, it's more than a half hour to get there.
"My Princess, no one used to do that to the Third Prince, even the Queen, he might get angry", Ah Jiang whispered to Hou Lei.
-Oh. – He was wordless. – Sorry, I'm just too excited.
-Well, you're here now, just get in, I've just finished the dishes.
She led him to the garden beside her room. Ah Jiang put the tray on the table and got out of the garden.
-What are you waiting for? – Hou Lei asked.
-Waiting for what? – He surprised.
-Do you want to eat when you're standing? Or you need I clean the chair for you first?
-Oh,... Oh... I just don't want to make you angry!
-I'm not so easy to get angry like that. Sit down, please!
-So what's the meaning of this lunch? – He looked at the delicious food in front of him.
-Well, I want to say sorry about what happened yesterday. I shouldn't slap you after you had taken care of me all afternoon.
-I don't mind it. It was just a mistake. – He smiled. – Anyway, I still feel the warmness of your hand on my cheek until now.
-Liar! – She pointed on his cheek. – You men are all liars, please remember, I don't like your honey, I need to see the actions.
-You'll see, I assure. Can I eat now?
-Okay, the food is still warm. But don't eat too fast like that time, I'll get some tea.
He took some food into his bowl and tried them, this time, their taste was different, it looked like she put more emotions into the food. He ate them as he was in heaven again. Then she came back with a teapot, she got him some tea:
-Try it, it's not like the tea you've tasted in this Palace.
-Uhmmm. – He drank some and paused. – It's special, light smell but the taste is very good.
-I know you are very busy with your works in the government, so I put in this teapot some ingredients that make you feel depressed and comfortable. They also help you think more efficient, having more energy to work, and sleeping better.

-What kind of those ingredients?
-It's a secret, I can't tell you, but if you want, I can make this tea for you often.
-Promise? – He looked at her gently.
-No promise, I'll do that, okay! – They both laughed.
-Play a melody for me. – He pointed at the zither.
-You're asking too much, but as my apology, I'll play.
He ate her food and looked at her fingers moving on the strings. He was lost in the heaven she created for him, he did not want to ask anything more, just wanted every day in his remain life, she would be there, cooked for him and talked with him like this, no more complicated works in the government, no more doubts, there was just sweet and happiness. They talked to each other happily and did not know about the appearance of someone at the big door leading to her room. That was the Crown Prince, he was very angry there. He gripped his hands, his eyes were full of envy.
