Chapter 83 Tianbao, if you find out that I have lied to you, will you forgive me?

What Tianbao gave to Qin Huo was a small lock with an extremely strange shape, which looked like two ears put together (in the shape of a heart).

Qin Huo didn't take it. It was a broken lock, although it was made of gold, but compared with the buyao, it was a world of difference!

Seeing Qin Huo's obvious disdain for the gift, Xu Laiqing took the small lock and said, "Isn't this the heart-shaped lock you asked your father to make for you? How can you give something like this away so easily?"

Tian Bao blinked and said, "Third brother, you are stupid. I am only seven years old. It will take many years for me to find my sweetheart. Prince brother is older than me, so he will definitely find his ideal partner before me."

As she spoke, she took the love lock and pulled out the key from the bottom of the lock: "Brother Prince, this key can also be worn as a pendant, and the small lock can also be worn as a pendant. This lock has a good meaning. When you find your soulmate in the future, you can give her this lock to lock her heart... Hehe, you keep the key for yourself. Only when the two of you are together can the key and lock be complete."

Qin Huo's heart skipped a beat. The one he loves?

He looked at Tianbao with a gloomy look. This little girl was so young, yet she had already asked Emperor Nanqiao to make her a token of love. He had to keep it, otherwise what would happen if this little fool gave the gift away so casually?

And locked her heart... hehe.

His goal is the throne where the tyrant sits, and talking about love is a pure waste of emotions.

But he came here tonight because he had something else to tell Tianbao.

He glanced at Xu Laiqing, put down the hairpin, and invited Tianbao to go to the courtyard to admire the moon: "Brother Xu, please check to see if there is anything missing from Ziwei Palace. I will ask someone to buy it tomorrow."

Xu Laiqing was about to catch up when he paused. After a moment of contemplation, he still chased after him like a tail: "Nothing is missing, everything is complete."

Qin Huo glanced back at the troublesome tail and frowned, "Tianbao has me to protect her, what are you worried about? I have a phone call to talk to her alone, don't come over to join in the fun."

Everyone is different, so you need to find different ways to speak to different people.

He knew that Xu Laiqing was worried about Tianbao, so he couldn't be vague or hide anything in front of Xu Laiqing. It was best to be straightforward so that he could gain the trust of the brother and sister.

What bad intentions could he have? He just wanted to take good care of her like Tianbao had taken good care of him before.

Xu Laiqing indeed stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned back to the main hall, lifted a crack in the door curtain and stared at their figures.

"Tianbao, if you find out that I have lied to you in the future, will you forgive me?"

The night wind was cold, and it felt like a cut when it blew on her face. Tianbao had just shrank her neck when Qin Huo took off his cloak and covered her with it, then put his hat on her, leaving only a small part of her porcelain-white face and her big, clear eyes exposed.

Tian Bao smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince Brother. You can wear it yourself. I'll go back and get a cloak..."

"I'm very hot, I... I'm too lazy to carry it, so I don't have to carry it if you put it on."

Tian Bao blinked, not refusing the offer. She wasn't stupid. Qin Huo had given her the cloak specifically. Otherwise, if he had given the order, the eunuchs would have brought it to him, and he wouldn't have needed to fetch it himself.

Tian Bao was about to wrap her hands in the cloak when Qin Huo asked someone to bring her his hand warmer and handed it to her: "Hold it for me."

"Thank you, Prince Brother." Tian Bao was no longer cold and answered his question seriously, "I will definitely not take it to heart if it's a white lie that doesn't hurt my feelings. Prince Brother is so kind, he definitely won't lie to me easily."

"What if Sister Fairy deceived you?"

Tian Bao said without hesitation: "She can't even speak, how could she lie to me? Fairy Sister won't lie, I believe her."

Qin Huo felt depressed. Was the little guy being too hypocritical?

The key is what is a white-knuckle deception that doesn't hurt feelings? Does it count as hurting feelings when a man disguises himself as a woman to deceive her?

Qin Huo turned his head and saw those clear eyes. The confession on his lips was stuck, and he said sourly: "You seem to cherish your sister very much, not your brother?"

"No, I also miss having a brother, but because I already have many brothers, they are all very good, so a brother is not new to me. There is a saying that scarcity makes things valuable. I don't have a sister, so naturally I like my sister more." She carefully observed Qin Huo's expression. Under the soft moonlight, the boy's face was filled with indescribable sadness.

She thought for a moment and added, "Actually, I cherish both my brothers and sisters."

"If the fairy sister told you a big lie, would you forgive her?"

Tian Bao hesitated for a while, then nodded hesitantly: "If she lied, she must have had some difficulties."

Seeing how tolerant she was towards the Fairy Sister, Qin Huo suddenly made a decision, and the sadness in his heart gradually cleared up: "Do you want to meet your Fairy Sister? I'll arrange a meeting for you in a few days."

Tian Bao was very excited: "Really?"

When she was excited, she subconsciously wanted to hold his hand, but there seemed to be two warning gazes coming from behind her, and the starry sky above her head seemed to have become the eyes of the tyrant emperor, the eyes of Queen Nanqiao, the eyes of her mother, and the eyes of Concubine Dong... Under the huge invisible pressure, Tianbao's hand made an arc and came back before it touched Qin Huo, and she scratched her head with both hands.

Qin Huo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He reminded them not to visit Hongxia Palace as often as possible before leaving.

The night was quiet and hushed. A dark figure emerged from behind the rockery in the distance of Ziwei Palace. It stared at Qin Huo's back for a while before hunching over and walking away...

The next day, the Fourth Princess's attendant Hongye came to ask Tianbao in person: "The Fourth Princess would like to invite Princess Yongan to go to the horse farm together."

"Horse farm?!" Tianbao casually told the fourth princess yesterday that she liked riding horses, but she didn't expect her to arrange it today. Her execution ability is really amazing!

Xu Laiqing's forehead was almost black. He had seen his sister riding a horse before, and she looked like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. It made him terrified.

Without a second thought, he said, "Tianbao, we must always remember our identities. This is Daqi, and we can't mess around."

The light in Tianbao's eyes dimmed instantly. It was true that Ma Chang was most likely going to leave the palace. How could she, a maid who had just entered the palace, go out so easily?

Hongye said proudly with a cold expression, "Don't worry, Your Highnesses. Our Queen has considered this issue and has personally consulted the Emperor. She will bring the Fourth Princess and Princess Yongle with her."

Xu Laiqing's eyelids twitched. Qin Huo had just reminded them last night not to get too close to Hongxia Palace. Today, the Empress was going to take Tianbao out to play in person?

Tianbao's desire was beyond words, but she couldn't leave Xu Laiqing in the palace and go out to play alone.

This is so disloyal!

So, she tentatively asked, "Third brother, can you go with me?"
