Qing Que

     Fengjiu was in bed annoyed with Dong Hua "Ugh! I don't wanna go to the Tai Chen Palace. What if the maids realize that I was once working in the palace?! I can't let that happen! Then what should I do?" She sat up immediately and thought of many ways on how to avoid going to the Palace but didn't have much of an idea.

     Migu then walked in to see the princess thinking hard about something "Little princess??" He called her and Fengjiu jumped and gasped "Migu! You scared me!" She looked angry and scared "I am sorry your highness... but may I ask why Dijun needed you? And what are you thinking about?" Fengjiu then sighed "We just talked about our marriage... that's all and I am thinking of ways to avoid going to the Tai Chen Palace."

     Migu gasped "You are going to the Tai Chen Palace? When?" Fengjiu just looked back at him and looked away. " He said he will come in a few days or so... maybe I have time to leave now right?" Migu shook his head " Your highness is there something you know that I don't? Why are you trying to hide from him? I thought you didn't care about this marriage alliance at all but now you want to run?" I mean Migu was right. Fengjiu did say she didn't care about the marriage and she still had a crush on Dijun so why was she doing all this? Was she trying to get over him? "Look your highness, just go to the Tai Chen Palace and see if you like it or not?" She then just nodded at his answer and told him to leave her alone.

     "How am I supposed to tell Father and Grandfather about this." She mumbled and figured she would just tell Migu to let her Father and Grandfather leave for the Palace with Dijun after she left Qing Que.

Tai Chen Palace

     Dong Hua had just finished her room and was satisfied with the decorations. He even had some robes, shoes, and jewelry delivered just for her. He wanted to make her room nice and comfortable. Her room was just next door from his room so if she was not comfortable with sleeping in the same bed with him, she could go and have her own space.

     The room was pretty and pink and with white decorations around the room. Her bed was big and soft with extra blankets and it even had a light pink canopy with light purple lotuses glued on. He was excited to see her again.

     "Dijun is gonna marry Bai Fengjiu of Qing Que?" Lian Song and Siming were both shocked by the news "But how?! They aren't fated in any way!" Siming mumbled and didn't think Lian Song heard "What? What do you mean they are not fate" Siming looked up at Lian Song and didn't know what to say "Forget what I said but now I will leave... Farewell Your Third Highness."And with that he left. "Not fated? Do they have some sort of past that I don't know of? Hmmm I will figure it out somehow... But how?" Lian Song kept thinking but then saw Cheng Yu and followed her around the whole day.

     "Star Lord Siming greets Dijun." He said while bowing. He wondered why Dong Hua called him and he was a bit anxious. "Siming, what do you know about Princess Bai Fengjiu of Qing Que?" Dong Hua asked coldly and Siming looked at him with wide eyes but didn't dare ask why he wanted to know about her. "The little highness of Qing Que? I have met her many times before. As your lordship might know she is the only granddaughter of the Fox Emperor. She is the second most beautiful lady in all the realms and is admired by many as well. She is kind, brave, and very bold but is very mischievous as well. I have been tricked by her several times but that's all I know."

     Dong Hua was satisfied with his response and dismissed him and sat in a deep thought. "Why does she seem so familiar though? Did I meet her in the past?" And then something immediately popped up in his head

"Does she have something to do with that little fox I had before it went missing?"

Qing Que

     The days went by like a blink of an eye and Fengjiu was sitting in her tree until she heard a familiar voice call out her name. "Xiaojiu!" The man called out and she looked down "Xiaoyan? Why are you here?" She jumped down the tree and walked over to him. Yan Chiwu was her best friend; they basically did everything together. Although he was a little older than her they got along pretty well and would always cause trouble.

     One time they plucked the feathers of a huge bird and they were chased by that bird, but lost it when they reached Zhe Yan's peach forest and laughed it off. Sometimes her family thought they were dating but she always denied it because they were not into each other like that, but the older they got they didn't see each other or hang out as before.

     "Wow! You have grown taller! You even grew a bigger breast!" He said as a joke but she started to turn red and covered her chest "W-what? Do you wanna die or what?" She looked away embarrassed "Ayo! I was joking, now tell me how have you been doing? I heard you got engaged to the ice face." Fengjiu sighed " Yeah I guess so. Speaking of him... he was supposed pick me up today." Xiaoyan gasp "Pick you up? What??" She nodded "Yeah but he is not here so why not have some tea with me?" That was until she saw Migu running up to her "Your highness... Dong Hua Dijun is here for you..." She stood up immediately "What already?" She then heard a cold ice voice come behind Migu "Have you already forgotten Xiaobai?" Dong Hua was walking to them with his famous cold face that was until he saw Yan Chiwu. His face darken "Ice face? Why is he here already? You said you drink tea with me Xiaojiu!!" Dong Hua looked at him and back at Migu "Let Bai Zhi and his son know that Xiaobai will be at my Palace." He then walked over to Fengjiu and grabbed her by the wrist and left.

Tai Chen Palace

     They had arrived at the Palace and he was still dragging her by her wrist. She tried to get her hand back because it was killing her but he was holding it really tight. She finally pulled her hand out of his and fell back hitting her bottom "Oww!" She cried and he turned immediately and looked at her. She gave him the dirtiest look "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" She yelled and he didn't answer but placed his hand close so she could grab onto it but instead she hit his hand and got up herself while rubbing her bottom.

     "Sorry Xiaobai..." he whispered and she just turned to him in shock "Did you just... apologize?" And he nodded. "Aiyo forget it but um... why am I here again?" He sighed "I want you to get used to life here so you will be staying here for the time being. And we can also get to know each other while we are at it." She just nodded at his response

     "Where am I sleeping? We both know that we can't share a bed since we are not married yet." And he then took her hand and led her to a room next to his and when he opened the door she was surprised. She was really impressed with her room and she loved every bit of it. She walked around her room amazed while he followed behind and was secretly smiling to himself "Wow! A walk in the closet!" She ran over and opened the doors and her jaw dropped to the floor and turned back to him

     "Who designed the room! I love it!" She said while jumping around and giggled "I did" he said and she turned to face him to make sure he said he designed it "You did all of this? Like really?" He nodded and she gave me a smile "Thank you Dijun!" And she ran around her room. Dong Hua felt his heart beating fast and he felt himself... blushing? "Xiaobai, Xiaobai.. what are you doing to me?".

     He watch her as she ran around her room smiling and giggling like a child. "Dijun! Can we go play in the garden!" He raised an eyebrow "Play? I am to old to play Xiaobai." She turn to face him and said "Your not old." Then she realized what she said "I mean uh..." and he just laughed "Don't you know? Your Grandfather was not even married when I was the Heavenly lord!" He kept laughing at her and she gave him a mad look and walked away but before she went outside he grabbed her waist "Fine... I will play with you." And her face lid up quickly "Okay! Let's go!" She grabbed his hand a dragged him to the garden which he was surprised she knew where it was.

     She led him to the little grass field "Okay let's play... Hmm... Hide and seek!" He gave her a questioning look "Hide and seek? That sounds like a murder game? You hide while others come to kill you?" She shook her head "No! It's where someone hides and the other looks for them. And if the hider gets found then you switch roles!" She looked very serious and he assumed that she was very good at the game "Hmm I see... Can we use magic?" He honestly was still very confused with the game "NO! No magic! It's not fun when you use magic and it will make it boring! So no cheating and no magic" and that was the first time someone had talk to him like that. If it wasn't her... I think we all know what would happen. "Okay I wanna hide so you come find me! And don't cheat! Got it?!" He nodded in response "Oh wait! You have to close your eyes and count to 10 and when you do you come find me." And he nodded again and started counting.

     Fengjiu was getting excited but she was having trouble hiding so she hid behind a big oak tree and giggled while waiting for him. Zhong Li happened to pass by and saw Dong Hua standing all weird looking and was closing his eyes. Behind him stood Lian Song who was kinda scared at that moment that was untill they saw him open his eyes and started walking around "Zhong Li let's come! Let's follow the old man!" And they followed him secretly.

     They were moving quickly and quietly and stood behind a oak tree to spy on him but Lian Song tripped on something or someone and landed on top off it. "OWWW!" a lady yelled and he opened his eyes and saw a young gorgeous lady with a red birthmark on her forehead but then he felt someone staring at him and slowly turned his head and saw Dong Hua holding the Cang'he and looking at him with fire in his eyes. "Get... Off... Her... NOW!"
