Bab 593: A Fresh Life

Bai Yaling rested her hands over zither after she was done practicing it. Court Lady Xu told the two maidservants to take the zither away. Court Lady Xu put the tray on the table. She picked the teapot and poured the tea into a teacup. 

"Court Lady Xu, yesterday the Emperor called me. His Majesty has put forward an offer for me. He wants me to remarry," Bai Yaling stated. 

Court Lady Xu was glad to hear that. "It is a good offer, Princess Bai. This is the first time the Empire is going for a widow remarriage. It is great, Princess Bai. With Prince Yongzheng you could not feel the happiness of married life," affirmed Court Lady Xu.

"Won't people raise the question on my chastity and my loyalty towards my late husband? Court Lady Xu also knows what exactly our society is! Even if my late husband did not treat me well, I need to follow my duty towards him. That's what I was taught," Bai Yaling skeptically said.
