Little did she know that she would run into King Lu Shi as soon as she arrived at the palace.
She should have avoided it.
"Miss Qiu, Miss Qin, where have you been all day? I promised to send someone to protect you. This city is not safe, so you'd better be careful."
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "Master Lu, we are new to the Western Regions and find everything here fascinating. We wandered around for a while and inevitably lost track of time. We hope Master Lu will forgive us."
She wondered if King Lu would be willing to borrow a horse from her.
How should I put it?
Lu Shi Wang: "Miss Qiu, you're too kind. Since you want to go sightseeing, I will personally send someone to accompany you tomorrow so you can go on a full tour."
"Thank you," Qiu Yan coughed lightly, "but no need for that."
"No, since they are envoys from the Central Plains, they are honored guests of my Lu Shi. How could I neglect them... Why are there no men from the Central Plains who were with you?" King Lu Shi noticed from the beginning that Ling Ba had not come with him.
Qiu Yan thought for a moment, "He stayed at an inn in the city and will come over early tomorrow morning."
With Qiu Yan and the other person present, Lu Shiwang stopped asking questions.
His displeased gaze fell on Mayi, and then...
He launched into a tirade of reprimands.
Seeing that Lu Shiwang and Mayi were having a heated argument, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu, who couldn't understand what they were saying, just stood by.
In the end, King Lushi won and Mayi lost, and Mayi was told by her father that she would be confined.
Mayi looked at Qiu Yan with pleading eyes, and Qiu Yan shrugged at her, indicating that she hadn't understood a single word of their conversation.
King Lu arranged accommodations for Qiu Yan and Qin Susu, but at Mayi's request, they stayed in a side hall of Mayi's residence.
After Lu Shiwang left, they were just about to return to their dormitory to rest when
The sound of horses' hooves echoed outside the palace.
In the blink of an eye, Huyan Chanyu appeared in Qiu Yan and the others' sight, riding a fiery red horse.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "This Huyan Chanyu is really presumptuous, riding his horse right into the princess's bedchamber."
That's really impolite.
The three exchanged glances, their expressions trying to be as sour as possible.
Qin Susu complained in a low voice, "Can't a person get a proper rest?"
Mayi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously clenched her fist.
She was truly afraid that Huyan Chanyu would barge directly into her bedroom.
That would damage her reputation.
Qiu Yan was also tired, and now she really didn't want to deal with Huyan Chanyu here.
“Beautiful princess, where have you been all day? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” Huyan Chanyu rode forward, stopped opposite Mayi, and reined in his horse.
Mayi shook her head. "What's it to you?"
Huyan Chanyu narrowed his eyes.
"What did you say?"
How dare this woman speak to me like that?
Which woman wouldn't be submissive and obsequious in his presence?
He was used to being flattered by women.
His words were ruthless, and the threat was all too clear.
“I said…” Mayi clearly disliked Huyan Chanyu.
However, she felt fear in the face of Huyan Chanyu.
She paused, bit her lip, and remained silent.
Qiu Yan's eyes lit up when she saw the horse.
"That's right. Remember, you're just my little woman. Don't put on that so-called princess act in front of me. Once we're married, I'll make sure you're completely submissive."
Mayi...she felt humiliated, uncomfortable, and nauseous.
Her body trembled slightly, her fists clenched so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh.
She'd rather die than marry a man like that.
Qiu Yan and Qin Susu didn't even want to glance at this so-called Chanyu.
