Chapter 82 I am not your only fairy sister?

Tian Bao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qin Huo's stunningly beautiful face: "Brother Prince, are you done?"

Qin Huo looked her up and down with concern, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that not a single hair was missing from this little girl.

As soon as he returned to Daqi, he was busy mobilizing the army. When he returned to the palace, he heard about the palace maids and eunuchs stealing, the fire in Lingxiu Palace, and the eagle helping to peck people. Even though he was knowledgeable, he was still terrified.

There is no need to think about it, the little kid must have been scared at that time, right?

"Empress Yu is the mother of the deposed crown prince. She is beautiful and intelligent, and has always been favored by the emperor. Tianbao, try to stay away from Hongxia Palace as little as possible in the future." The eleven-year-old Qin Huo was worried about his mother.

Xu Laiqing glanced at him calmly, his guard against Qin Huo had already been reduced by 70%.

Without this little prince, how could they be treated well in Daqi? The food, drinks and fun they had along the way completely eliminated his and Tianbao's worries.

Tian Bao's eyebrows knitted together in confusion: "But the Fourth Princess and I have become good friends. She is actually quite nice, like a little fairy."

"Little, fairy?" Qin Huo gritted his teeth, feeling inexplicably unhappy.

So in the eyes of the little milk bag, anyone can become a fairy sister, right? He is not the most special one!

Tian Bao asked suspiciously, "The Fourth Princess is very beautiful, doesn't your brother think so?"

"Are all the beautiful ones your fairy sisters?" Qin Huo felt sour in his heart.

Tian Bao's eyes rolled, as if she remembered something. She subconsciously wanted to grab Qin Huo's hand and act coquettishly, but before she could touch him, she remembered the repeated warnings that "men and women should not touch each other", so she pinched his sleeve instead and shook it.

"Brother Prince, please don't tell Fairy Sister about this, okay? She will always be the most unique one in my heart. But there is more than one fairy in the sky, and the other fairies also have their own unique beauty, which does not conflict."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, the sour feeling in Qin Huo's heart immediately subsided, but after hearing the second half, he became unhappy again.

He couldn't clearly explain what exactly made him unhappy.

He wanted this uniqueness, including the title of "Fairy Sister".

Xu Laiqing gave him a meaningful look and said, "What kind of food is this, little prince? Could it be that you don't like Tianbao calling others Fairy Sister?"

Qin Huo shuddered and his mind became clear instantly.

He peered closely, feeling as though Xu Laiqing had already known. Impossible. He had previously told Tianbao a secret, even a blatant lie: he and "Fairy Sister" were twins, a boy and a girl. Daqi was averse to multiple births, so "Fairy Sister" had been hidden from view. If anyone discovered their twin identity, they would both be killed.

However, he could never have imagined that even before Tianbao received the letter, the princes of Nanqiao already knew about the existence of "Fairy Sister". Even someone as smart as Xu Laiqing could easily figure out that Qin Huo was disguised as a woman.

Qin Huo cleared his throat: "How is that possible?"

He was unhappy and turned away without saying goodbye.

Just as he reached the yard, he stopped again.

Tianbao just came to Daqi, and he is her only support now. If he leaves in anger, what will happen to the little milk bag if he is scared at night?

With this in mind, he turned around again and went back, "Do you... need anything else?"

"Didn't the young prince leave?" Xu Laiqing looked over with a smile, always feeling that this boy had ulterior motives.

Qin Huo glared at him angrily, his face slightly reddened with anger, his cheeks puffed up, and he instantly looked like an eleven-year-old child: "I'm going out to get some fresh air. Who said I was leaving?"

Xu Laiqing shrugged and stopped arguing with him.

A moment later, Tian Bao rushed out holding something and yelling, "Wang Ye brother, wait a minute, can you do me a favor...ah!"

She was so careful with what she was holding that she almost tripped over the leg of a chair before she could even look up.

Qin Huo leaped forward, rolled on the ground, and caught her in time: "How come you can't even walk properly?"

Although he was clearly blaming her, his tone was filled with doting and helplessness.

Tianbao's little face was lying in his arms. She raised her fair and tender face and smiled at him. Her sweet smile was so close, with a sweet and soft breath: "Thank you, Prince Brother, you are so kind."

Xu Laiqing rushed over with a dark face and pulled Tianbao out of Qin Huo's arms: "Hey, you are always so clumsy. What would you do without me by your side?"

Qin Huo rolled his eyes at him uncomfortably. "Even if you don't come to Daqi, I'll still protect you. It's not like Tianbao can't live without you. Why are you showing off?"

Xu Laiqing: ...Is this called showing off?

Tian Bao, the heartless one, carefully handed the item in her hand to Qin Huo, and suddenly put her little mouth close to Qin Huo's ear: "Brother Prince, can you help me give this to Fairy Sister? This is my gift to her."

Xu Laiqing had a terrible headache. How could they be so close to each other in the blink of an eye?

He took the trouble to pull Tianbao back two feet again, feeling that it was necessary to give her another routine education on "no physical contact between men and women", such as in the future, when talking to men, she should be at least three feet away, no, five feet.

Tianbao handed over the brocade box like she was presenting a treasure. It was made of glass, and inside was a lifelike butterfly-perched hairpin. The flower was a vivid, tender pink peach blossom, flanked by two small green leaves. A butterfly, its wings shimmering with light, was feeding on the flower. Below it were several strings of small southern pearls, and at the end was an emerald jadeite.

Although the decoration on this hairpin is not the most expensive, the workmanship is unmatched.

After Tianbao was born, the Queen invited the most skilled craftsman in Nanqiao to work on it for seven years. It was originally intended for Tianbao to wear when she came of age.

Xu Laiqing said unhappily, "No, this is a coming-of-age gift given to you by your mother in advance. How can you give it to someone else casually?"

Tian Bao complained, "Third brother, since Mother gave it to me, I can control where it goes. Besides, we are in a foreign country, and it would be inappropriate to wear such ostentatious jewelry. Instead of letting it gather dust, it is better to put it to good use."

From the first moment she saw this hairpin, she felt that it was particularly suitable for the fairy sister's face which was more beautiful than a flower.

Xu Laiqing had not expected her to think so deeply and so reasonably, so he was speechless for a moment.

"Brother Prince, I also have a gift for you. Please don't be jealous of the fairy sister." Tianbao said as he took out another thing from his arms.

Qin Huo couldn't help but complain in his heart: Why would I be jealous of myself who is dressed as a woman?

But when he saw clearly what Tianbao took out, a huge wave of sourness suddenly rose in his heart.

Ha! This discriminatory treatment is too obvious, isn't it?!
