Chapter t.i.tle: A Journey to Remember (1)

Chapter no. 17

(Qin Zetian"s POV)

I was sitting on a chair near the window, with a book on my lap. The weather looks so good today and I am only waiting to be informed that the carriage I"m going to use is ready. Then I heard a knock from the door.

"Young miss the princess has arrived"

"Where is she? Did you receive her highness well?"

"Yes mistress"

"Accompany me then" I put the book on the table and stood. Casually tidying clothes. Then I walk out of my room

My maid and I walked towards the garden and saw her drinking tea, oh again and again.

"Good morning princess! Next week will be the formal opening of my store, will the princess want to accompany me today? I"ll be going to the restaurant to check everything and have a little gathering as a premier of the store"

"Yes! You know I have been under confinement when mother forced me to learn things that I never dreamed of learning. I am mentally drained and I need to release this heavy feeling inside me."

"Come on the carriage is waiting. Will your brothers come?"

"I suppose they"ll come, or they might have arrived there already. Anyway my mother ordered me to bring some food for her and father emperor which is very embarra.s.sing"

"Oh... I"ll make sure to send home you with many dishes. In next weeks" time will you be willing to accompany me to formally open the shop?"

"I would love too! Thank you Ze"er"

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for the friendship, for the good food, for the adventure, for teaching me good prospects in business and for everything that you"ve done. You"ve really added color to my dull life, I wish you are my real sister. That way I"ll no longer need to be apart from you. The palace is really boring." Then she chuckled

I sighed

Before, I thought she"ll become a stranger to me the longer that we are together. Yet as I look back, I found it quite amusing to have someone the same age as me who treats me like a real sister. Something I have never experienced before.

Way back in the modern world, I was the youngest amongst my siblings. My father arranged their marriages and married them away before I even turned eighteen. So for the time being I was always left with countless instructors; teaching me things that are essential for business and mental upgrading, aside from those; I have a formal business cla.s.s under my father"s teachings. There were no fun at all and everything that I do had limiters. Except when my mom comes home, she helped me release my stress through cooking and art expression.

As the youngest, I am destined to stay with my parents and inherit the fruit of their hard work. It was I who needs to follow their steps and join the elite circle. Far from the lives of my other siblings. I was special. And I knew they love me.

"Hey Ze"er"

"Hmm?"

"I was thinking of agreeing to my mother"s proposal"

"What is it?"

"She asked me to invite you to the palace for tea"

"When?"

"Whenever you"re free"

"Okay, I think the restaurant will be able to run without my guidance after a month or so. I"ll try to visit the queen within my leisure time. I hope the queen doesn"t mind."

"Great!"

She smiled and ate more of the cupcakes on the plate. The carriage moved carefully so we have no worries or whatsoever of dirtying our dresses. I took peak at the window and casually stare at the people on the bustling streets. They are living their lives as much as they can, even when poverty takes a toll on them. They have kids, whilst some kids don"t have parents. There are a few beggars within the area and all of them are dressed in tattered rags. I sighed dejectedly, if my business will be successful I"d like to build small houses and donate them to the needy. And they can work for me in return.
