Chapter 1044 Just Not Taking the Bait_1

Princess Huilan spoke with a smile plastered across her face, as if she greatly admired Bai Ruozhu, the younger generation. Sighs of amazement were heard from the crowd, yet it was unknown how much of that was genuine and how much was feigned. But when Princess Huilan chose to commend someone, they naturally had to show face.

Bai Ruozhu maintained a polite smile on her face, but her heart was in turmoil. With Princess Huilan making such a grand gesture in waiting for her, it seemed the situation was not going to be resolved easily.

The buffet started soon after, and Princess Huilan kindly patted Bai Ruozhu on the shoulder, "Go grab something, have a look around and enjoy yourself. You're young, there's no need to restrain yourself too much."

"Yes, Your Highness," Bai Ruozhu bowed to her and stood up to get a tray.
