Reborn as the Doted Child Bride of the Deposed Crown Prince

He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...

Chapter 35 The Future Eighth Prince's Consort

Shuyi handed the child over to the child's mother, who thanked Shuyi profusely, making Shuyi feel a little embarrassed.

He Xue and Jing Shu also came to Shu Yi's side.

"Second brother, are you alright?" He Xue looked Shu Yi up and down; Shu Yi was covered in dirt.

He Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped Shu Yi's face.

"It's nothing!" Shuyi waved her hand and said.

"Second brother, move around a bit and see if you're injured," Jing Shu said, still worried.

"It's really nothing, brother, just a little scratch on my hand!" Shuyi said, raising her right hand. Her right hand was probably scratched by the sand and gravel on the ground, and there were beads of blood on it.

"Second brother, why don't you go and treat your wound first?" He Xue said, since there was a clinic nearby.

"This little injury is nothing!" Shuyi said nonchalantly.

“When we get back to the manor, Mother will definitely scold you if she sees you like this!” He Xue said to Shu Yi with dissatisfaction.

Before Shuyi could speak, the person on horseback said, "Are you done dawdling? Get out of the way, I need to get going!"

Upon hearing this, He Xue's temper flared up, and she immediately blocked the horse's path.

Now that her second brother is injured, and her eldest brother is still on his scientific expedition and can't afford any negative impact, she's the only one who can step in.

He Xue then looked at the person on the horse, a little girl about her age, whose eyes were full of arrogance and showed no remorse whatsoever. She was still on the horse and had no intention of getting off.

"Didn't you see you almost hurt someone?" He Xue asked.

"You said it yourself, it was almost, wasn't it? You were injured, weren't you?"

"It'll be too late if someone gets hurt! Don't you know that riding horses in the street is prohibited?"

People around her were also pointing and whispering about the girl.

The girl became somewhat embarrassed and angry, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me!"

"Who are you to ride a horse so arrogantly in the street?" He Xue felt that this girl must have some status, otherwise she wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

"Listen up, I am Guoluo Tana, and my maternal grandfather is Prince An, so if you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"

"Guoluo Luotana, Prince An?" He Xue wondered who this person was and why he was so arrogant.

Could this woman be the future Eighth Prince's wife? No wonder she's so arrogant! She'll be a notorious shrew in the future! She'll be reduced to ashes by Yongzheng!

"Do you know you almost hurt someone?" He Xue asked, looking up. Her neck was sore from the pain of riding a horse!

"You said it yourself, it was almost, but you weren't seriously injured!" Tana looked down at He Xue from her horse.

"You..." He Xue was surprised that she was speechless because of a little girl.

At this moment, He Xue really wanted to pull Tana off her horse. If only she knew martial arts, she could definitely stop Tana from being so arrogant.

Seeing He Xue's angry expression, Tana raised an eyebrow at her triumphantly, "If you're done, hurry up and get out of the way!"

He Xue, her earlier anger gone, smiled and said to Tana, "Come down, I have something to tell you!"

"What do you want to say? Just say it like this!" Tana looked at Kazuyuki warily.

"Get down first, then I'll talk. Otherwise, I won't say anything!"

"Or are you scared and that's why you don't dare to come down!" Xue deliberately provoked Tana.

"Fine, let's see what tricks you're up to today." Tana said, then nimbly dismounted.

Although He Xue looked down on Tana, she greatly admired her clean and efficient movements just now.

She had also thought about riding a horse; she had always dreamed of galloping on horseback. But when she suggested riding a horse, not only her father and brothers disagreed, but even the Crown Prince and his family disagreed.

He Xue decided that she would learn to ride a horse no matter what, otherwise her trip to the Qing Dynasty would have been in vain.

“I’m down now, what do you want to say?” Tana asked.

"Stay closer to me!" He Xue said with a smile.

Tana took a few more steps toward He Xue.

He Xue smiled, then swung her arm and slapped Tana across the face.
