Then, Hu Xiao stood on her tiptoes as she lifted Qin Shuo’s chin and teased him like a man teasing a woman.
Hu Xiao opened her beautiful eyes wide, looking at Qin Shuo’s exquisite facial features up close, the more she looked, the more she felt that Qin Shuo was strong and handsome.
The more she looked, the closer Hu Xiao got.
Qin Shuo’s heart was thumping hard. Although she was not a young man, her beloved woman was right in front of him, and like a man in her first love, he subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for Hu Xiao to take the initiative and kiss him.
However, he merely flicked his brain, turned around and left while laughing out loud.
Qin Shuo did not wait for the expected kiss. Instead, he opened his eyes and touched the scar left by Hu Xiao on his forehead. A look of disappointment flashed across his face.
His face was saved, but in his heart, he was extremely disappointed. He originally thought that Hu Xiao came over just now to kiss him.
He helplessly sighed, the jealousy in his heart grew even stronger. Ever since Xiaoxiao returned to the South Yue, her concern for him had been reduced by quite a bit.
Could it be because he had a new partner? Qin Shuo clenched his teeth, he did not dare think further.
Along the way, Qin Shuo did not let Lu Yin go.
"Lu Yin, Xiaoxiao and I disturbed you that night. I’m truly sorry." There was a trace of smile in Qin Shuo’s eyes, he had purposely mentioned about that night, to embarrass Lu Yin.
Sure enough, Lu Yin’s face changed. He laughed awkwardly and said: "No, I just saw that her face was a little familiar. I thought he was my friend, so I stopped her."
Lu Yin randomly came up with an excuse. He definitely would not say that there was a man who wanted to serve him, but he could not kick him out, which was why such an ugly thing happened.
Qin Shuo scoffed in his heart, but his face still maintained his smiling expression, "I’ve only experienced it once, but once we’re familiar with each other, the next time we meet we’ll still be good friends. If we like his, we can always be together, and one more person won’t be a burden."
Qin Shuo had made this relationship clear, even those who did not know the truth would understand.
Young Master Lu found a woman and was met by the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor was kind enough to allow Young Master Lu to bring the woman with him.
Everyone looked like they suddenly realized something. This time, Lu Yin was even more embarrassed, he did not even say anything and just laughed dryly.
They ate their rations by the roadside. There were no inns nearby, and sometimes, when they were hungry, they would eat by the roadside.
Not only was Qin Shuo making things difficult for Lu Yin, Qin Shuo had also forbidden Hu Xiao to be alone with him. Every time he saw the two of them being alone, Qin Shuo would interject and interrupt their conversation.
Or perhaps, he and Hu Xiao had been together every day, preventing Lu Yin from getting close to him. Like a vinegar jar, it was filled with a sour taste.
Hu Xiao was extremely carefree so sshe naturally wouldn’t pay attention to all of this, and since Lu Yin’s heart was open, he naturally didn’t know what Qin Shuo was thinking.
"Xiao-Xiao, what are you guys talking about?" Seeing the two of them taking a walk by the lake, Qin Shuo became annoyed. He thought to himself, you guys went for a walk, then what do I think I am!
Although he said that in his heart, he didn’t dare to say it out loud. He stood between the two of them and separated them.
"It’s almost time for East Court, Lu Yin has never come here, so if I have the time, let me take him for a walk." Hu Xiao sweetly said that she liked to go out and play the most, but Qin Shuo didn’t have time to accompany her.
Now that she had Lu Yin, she was no longer worried about being bored.
After listening, Qin Shuo’s face darkened. He had never been to East Court before, so he couldn’t find anyone to bring you there. Xiaoxiao is the empress of East Court, how can I have the time to take you there?
From the bottom of his heart, Qin Shuo looked down on Lu Yin. Asking a woman to take him out to play was not a disgrace to him!
"That’s alright. At that time, I’ll find a person familiar with East Court to accompany you and play. You can go wherever you want." Best not to come back.
Qin Shuo naturally did not say the last sentence out loud. He did not want to offend Hu Xiao at all.
The three of them did not speak for a long time. After a while, Hu Xiao suddenly looked at Qin Shuo and asked: "Qin Shuo, have you heard any news while we were walking?"
They had already entered the East Court realm and were on their way to the capital.
"I heard that many places were in turmoil. When I left, everything was still fine." Noticing that Qin Shuo was silent, Hu Xiao continued.
Many places were in turmoil. How was the capital?
A trace of doubt flitted across Hu Xiao’s heart. She glanced at Qin Shuo, and asked: "How is the matter with the woman’s entrance exams? Are they being carried out?"
This was what Hu Xiao was most concerned about. Moreover, she couldn’t understand why some remote areas started to become restless.
Could it be because the king was not here, that the people from East Court were worried and uneasy?
Hearing her question, Qin Shuo shook his head, and said doubtfully: "I’m not too sure about this. Xiaoxiao, before I left, I already gave the orders, and with Yin Fufeng here, there shouldn’t be any problems."
Qin Shuo trusted Yin Fufeng, otherwise, he would not hand over such a huge country to him, so Qin Shuo firmly believed that Yin Fufeng would definitely do a good job with the things he had told his.
In the palace of the East Court, Yin Fufeng was currently reading through the memorials in Qin Shuo’s place. He was very efficient, he would have to face a large number of memorials everyday, but he could complete any early everyday.
"Prime Minister Yin, this subordinate just received news that the emperor is about to return to the palace." The guard half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
The emperor returning to the palace was a great thing for Yin Fufeng. This way, he wouldn’t have to handle a bunch of trivial matters everyday.
Furthermore, he is not an upright emperor, so the treatment he enjoys cannot be compared with Qin Shuo’s.
Yin Fufeng immediately stood up, he smiled and squinted his eyes, he was extremely excited, he looked left and right, finally looking for the Emperor.
"Where is he?" Yin Fufeng asked excitedly. He really wanted to fly out of the palace to welcome Qin Shuo and the rest.
"If I return to the Prime Minister Yin, I will still have ten more kilometers before I reach the capital." As the guard’s voice faded, Yin Fufeng couldn’t help but feel discouraged. Ten kilometers, he still had a long way to go!
But soon, he would be free.
He thought about how the emperor always liked to keep a low profile. At that time, it would be best if he didn’t make too much of a fuss about the return of the emperor to the palace.
As he thought about this, Yin Fufeng instructed, "Don’t spread the news that the emperor is returning to the city."
Originally, when Qin Shuo went to the South Yue s, he was met with opposition from the ministers.
It was precisely because of this point that Yin Fufeng did not make such a big fuss. However, what he did not expect was that Minister Wen knew that Qin Shuo and Hu Xiao had returned to the palace.
After discussing with the ministers in the palace, he led the group of people to the palace entrance to wait for Qin Shuo.
