Every country’s envoy would have to be sacrificed on the altar, led by Hu Qi. Everything was done in an orderly manner.
But when it came to East Court Kingdom, Hu Xiao was actually stunned, her gaze was fixated on the man on the altar, isn’t this guy Qin Shuo!
He actually came as well! Why didn’t I see him earlier?!
Hu Xiao’s eyes widened as she looked at Qin Shuo with an astonished gaze. She would not mistake him, it was even him who came to participate in the offering ceremony.
She gripped the square sized handkerchief tightly, her bright red heart was beating rapidly, and she had a look of disbelief on her face.
At this time, Qin Shuo raised his head, and looked in her direction. Seeing his shocked expression, Qin Shuo smiled.
Xiaoxiao, you must not have thought that I would appear here.
Since he could not wait for Hu Xiao at the inn, he decided to listen to Mo Zhu and meet her on the altar.
His smile was still as charming and cute as before. Qin Shuo couldn’t help but stare blankly as they looked at each other. Only after a minute did the two of them come to their senses.
After Qin Shuo came down, he walked in the direction of Hu Xiao without hesitation. There was a large bundle of suspicions in Hu Xiao’s heart, and she was currently not able to vent it out!
"Why are you here?" Hu Xiao lowered her voice and questioned him.
She wasn’t prepared at all for Qin Shuo’s appearance at this time. She suddenly thought of what Ling Hua had said last night. There was always a man who came to the inn to look for her!
So it was Qin Shuo!
Now, Hu Xiao was sure, but she couldn’t understand why Qin Shuo hadn’t directly come to the palace to see his.
Mo Zhu had been to the palace a few times, and he had also been to Mo Zhu’s house before, but unfortunately, she did not meet Qin Shuo.
"You’re surprised to see me?" Qin Shuo asked instead of answering. Only when he was with Hu Xiao would he have the thought to joke around.
Hu Xiao snorted lightly and muttered: "How can I not be surprised by your sudden appearance? You have been in the city for several days already, and you’re not even willing to come see me."
Her voice was so small that she couldn’t hear it himself. Because of this, she thought that it was just her imagination the last time, that Qin Shuo had not come over to the South Yue from the start.
"What did you say?" Qin Shuo’s ears moved, attempting to hear Hu Xiao’s words clearly, but Hu Xiao’s voice was too soft, he was unable to do so.
"..." Hu Xiao turned her head to the side and did not speak any further. However, she was glad that she did not hear her words, otherwise, she would be embarrassed.
After two hours, the sacrificial ceremony finally ended. Hu Xiao had long since arranged for the eunuch and palace maid to lead the people to the palace where the banquet would be held.
Qin Shuo knew that Hu Xiao had something to ask him, but she delayed on asking, making Qin Shuo a little anxious.
Just as he was about to head towards the banquet hall like the others, he was stopped by Hu Xiao who was gritting her teeth.
"You’re in such a hurry to leave me?" Hu Xiao asked coldly. This damned man, it had only been a few days since they met, but his heart had already changed. He came using South Yue but didn’t see.
Seeing that she wanted him to stay, Qin Shuo was overjoyed, it was as sweet as eating honey. He withdrew his steps and pretended to be surprised: "Xiao-Xiao, don’t tell me you want to talk to me alone?"
While speaking, Qin Shuo grinned. This day, he had waited far too long, he had never known how to face Hu Xiao.
"When did you come to South Yue?" Actually, what she wanted to ask was, do you take me as your wife? You came to South Yue, but didn’t come to see me.
"He came on the same day as Mo Zhu." Qin Shuo was very honest, he did not lie to her, "I went to look for you at the inn, but you sneaked away. My heart is broken, do you think you can break my heart by touching me?"
As he spoke, he took the opportunity when Hu Xiao was unprepared to grab her hand and pressed her palm against her chest.
Hu Xiao was caught off guard and stunned for a moment. Qin Shuo actually had such a move?
Hu Xiao wanted to retract her finger, but she was grabbed by Qin Shuo. Following that, Qin Shuo said in a deeply emotional voice, "After that, I went to the tavern to look for you a few more times, but you were not there. Are you purposely avoiding me, for I travelled a thousand miles to chase after South Yue.
Before Hu Xiao could finish her words, she was pulled into her embrace by Qin Shuo. Qin Shuo bent his head down and kissed her lips, causing Hu Xiao to turn pale with fright.
Thinking about that, Hu Xiao struggled up, trying her best to avoid Qin Shuo’s kiss. The more she dodged, the more Qin Shuo wanted to kiss her.
Under the guidance of the eunuch palace maid, everyone arrived at the banquet hall. The King of the South Yue sat on the seat of honor, and couldn’t see Hu Xiao from his left and right, he couldn’t help but wonder, where did her royal sister go?
After a while, Hu Xiao still did not appear. King of the South Yue frowned, looked at the crown prince and asked: "Where did your aunt go?
Earlier, Hu Qi was busy summoning foreign countries, so he did not take Hu Xiao into consideration, thus, he did not know where Hu Xiao had gone to. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
"Royal Father, allow me to go out and look." Hu Qi cupped his hands towards King of the South Yue and said respectfully. After replying to him, he went out.
The palace was so big that he couldn’t find a way out. He had forgotten his surroundings, but at that moment, he heard a loud sound, and a "peng" sound attracted his attention.
When he heard them, he looked over, to see that both Qin Shuo and Hu Xiao were lying on the ground. Hu Qi turned pale with fright, and looked at the both of them crying.
Hu Xiao’s face turned ugly, she raised her eyes and looked at Hu Qi, her face turning red. Qi’er was also here, how could she face others in the future!
She bit her lips tightly as Qin Shuo crawled up from the ground. He reached out to help Hu Xiao up, but was rejected by her.
"Come, let me help you up. The ground is cold." Seeing that she had rejected him, Qin Shuo asked without giving up. He did not bring his hand back, and only stopped in front of Hu Xiao for a long time.
Hu Xiao snorted lightly, and said: "Even if I die, I don’t need your support."
Saying that, Hu Xiao crawled up from the ground slowly, she patted her hands, no longer caring about Qin Shuo, seeing that, Qin Shuo shook his head helplessly, and stood by the side.
"What are you doing out here?" Hu Xiao glared at Hu Qi fiercely. When her nephew saw the ugly matter, Hu Xiao’s face became even redder.
Hu Qi coughed lightly. Seeing this kind of situation, he also felt very embarrassed. King of the East Court and his aunt had both fallen on the ground, and he had coincidentally seen them.
"Aunt, Royal Father told me to look for you." Hu Qi explained briefly. After that, he ran off without waiting for Hu Xiao to reply.
Looking at his escaping figure, Hu Xiao’s anger dissipated.
Seeing her smile, Qin Shuo asked softly: "Xiao-Xiao, are you angry?"
His voice was soft, and Hu Xiao pretended not to hear him, as she quickly walked towards the banquet. Qin Shuo followed behind her, and the two of them entered.
The banquet was filled with cheers and laughter. Hu Xiao adjusted her mental state and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
