Chapter 139 If the mountain doesn’t come to him, he can only go to the mountain

Outside the carriage was a slender woman, her white clothes were whiter than snow, her face was as rosy as peach blossoms, and her eyes were as clear as spring water. She was a beauty.

Her face was pale, and she was obviously very scared, but she stubbornly stopped in front of the carriage, her body trembling: "Please give us a ride, my mother is not well, we need to rush to the town to seek medical treatment!"

Xu Laiqing didn't say anything. He had just ascended the throne and was surrounded by dangers.

He said nothing, and no one dared to respond. The guards in civilian clothes jumped off the carriage and said, "Get out of the way! We are in a hurry!"

The woman shuddered noticeably. She was clearly terrified, but she still pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Master, please, my mother is the only relative I have left. She can be saved. She can get better if she goes to see a doctor in town!"

She bit her lower lip and knelt down tremblingly, as if there was gold under her knees, kneeling with a sense of humiliation.

Xu Laiqing frowned and said, "I'll give you the carriage."

He said let, and immediately took the package and got out of the car.

The woman then realized that the person sitting in the car was actually such a handsome young man. After a moment of confusion, she hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Thank you, young master!"

Xu Laiqing didn't look at her again. He waved his hand and walked forward with the three imperial guards.

In a moment, the woman caught up with them, panting: "Young Master! Young Master!"

Xu Laiqing turned back unhappily, his cold eyes revealing a hint of alienation and defensiveness: "What's the matter?"

The woman's wet eyes revealed uneasiness and shame. "I... I don't know how to drive a carriage. Can you send me off to the west? It's still quite a distance from here to the town. How long will it take you to get there..."

Xu Laiqing understood the implication of her words.

But how could they walk there? A new carriage would be delivered soon.

Xu Laiqing glanced at the imperial guard who had just been the driver and said expressionlessly, "You drive for her and we'll meet up later."

"Thank you, sir." The woman bowed gracefully and walked towards the carriage. She couldn't help but look back a few more times...

The fourth princess waited until the next day to tell Qin Huo about Tianbao's feelings, deliberately making him toss and turn all night long.

It was like a blessing from heaven. Qin Huo said in disbelief: "Really? Are you sure she is interested in me?"

"Believe it or not." The Fourth Princess rolled her eyes at him. "I've always been helping you. When will you help me?"

Thousands of mountains and rivers separated her, so she didn't even know whether Xu Laiqing had married or not. The emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, and it was said that the women in Nanqiao's water towns were as delicate as flowers. After delaying for so long, she didn't know how many women he had.

The thought of it made her feel upset, but she had already prepared herself mentally to serve Xu Laiqing together with other women, as long as she was the one Xu Laiqing favored the most in the future.

She is also a person with high aspirations, but she does not have as much confidence as Tianbao.

"I will find a way to get my father to agree to let you marry. Tianbao will return to Nanqiao in the spring of next year, and you will go with her then." Qin Huo said sincerely, as if he was not joking.

The fourth princess' eyes widened, and her lost expression was now bright. "You didn't lie to me?"

Qin Huo sneered: "What do you think?"

The four princesses regretted their earlier words of "believe it or not." To show her sincerity, she said solemnly, "You must not let Tianbao down. She always said she was extremely jealous and that the man she married could only marry her, not concubines or maids. If she was forced to share a man with another woman, she would kick him out without hesitation and never look back."

Qin Huo laughed in silence, raised his eyebrows, and didn't know what to say.

She had never said such words to him before, but when she thought about it, she realized that beneath the girl's gentle and tough appearance, she did have a pure and unadulterated heart.

She is indeed the girl he likes!

Seeing that he remained silent, the Fourth Princess said unhappily, "Can you do it? If not, I won't bring you together. You must come to me, and I'll find a solution myself."

Qin Huo tapped her forehead and was slightly stunned after that. This was the first time he was so intimate with his own sister.

The fourth princess also stood there in a daze for a long time.

To ease the awkwardness, Qin Huo looked up at the birds flying in the sky: "If you had a way, you wouldn't have wasted so much time until now. My feelings for Tianbao are known to all, otherwise I wouldn't be alone until now. When we get to Nanqiao, you can find a way to get Xu Laiqing to marry you. After all, a marriage alliance doesn't have to be made by the king of a country. He has many brothers..."

"Hmph! He dares!" The fourth princess blushed and bluffed.

She had no confidence at all, and she began to panic at the thought of seeing him again in the spring of next year.

Qin Huo laughed and patted her shoulder: "Tian Bao will help you then. So you have to speak well of me in front of Tian Bao. She has someone in her heart, so she naturally won't want to see you alone and hurt by love."

The fourth princess rolled her eyes, stood up and walked out: "I'm going back to the palace. Do you have any interesting storybooks? I'll take them back with me."

Before leaving, she turned back awkwardly: "Sixth brother, thank you. I used to envy Tianbao so much. The brothers all doted on her and loved her, unlike us Daqi, where the brothers and sisters were suspicious and wary of each other... But from now on, I... I won't envy her anymore."

After she said that, she ran away as if there was a wolf chasing her.

Qin Huo sat in the yard and looked at the sky for a while. Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth rose up again and again.

He imagined in his mind the scene of seeing Tianbao again. He couldn't hold it back any longer. He had to confess his feelings, the sooner the better, to let her know that his feelings for her were not just a simple brotherly love.

He wanted to hug her and kiss her hard. Her rosy little mouth looked so kissable...

The boy waited from sunrise to sunset, his mood went up and down countless times, but he never saw the sweet baby!

Seeing that the time for closing the palace gates was approaching, he lost his patience and said, "Someone, come! I want to enter the palace!"

If the mountain doesn't come to him, what else can he do?

He had no choice but to go to the mountain.

In Ziwei Palace, Tianbao was restless all day.

She couldn't sleep last night, dreaming about every little thing Qin Huo had done to her over the past two years. It was so vivid and real. What used to seem like a perfectly normal relationship now seemed off because of the Fourth Princess' words.

He had never been so attentive to his own sisters, but he was completely obedient to her, and other women were not allowed to get close to him.

It's indeed abnormal.

When it was almost dawn, she had a dream. She dreamed that Qin Huo got married, but the bride was not her.

The bride is Qiu Yueying, dressed in a tight red dress, with a beautiful smile and shy eyes filled with happiness and love; the groom is Qin Huo, wearing a red dress and black hair, his cold white skin is dyed an alluring peach pink in the festive red, his eyes are twinkling with stars and a smile.

The sound of stringed instruments and bamboo flutes filled the bridal chamber, and the atmosphere was lively. Soon, only the newlyweds were left in the bridal chamber.

Qin Huo lifted the red veil and indulged himself in Qiu Yueying's beautiful face.

He couldn't help but move closer. Qiu Yueying closed her eyes shyly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and she murmured softly: "Husband..."

Tianbao woke up in shock as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart, and he didn't dare to continue to be a spectator in his dream.

My face was wet, I wiped it with my hand, and two lines of tears appeared.

It was already noon, and she spent the whole day in a daze, at a loss, unable to tell whether it was a dream or he was really married.

So annoying! It turns out she really doesn't want to see Qin Huo marry another woman.
