Wow, your arm is pretty heavy!
[We were just chatting under the covers, why are you stretching out your arm?]
But this guy seemed to notice her stiff body, and even pinched her waist with his fingers.
A calm voice rang in her ear: "Relax."
Xiao Tang was speechless and choked with emotion.
His lips even twitched.
She paused for a moment before saying softly, "My lord, it's late. Aren't you going to sleep? I have to attend court tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will be attending court as the Imperial Advisor."
[Before the main villain entered the room, a secret letter arrived from the palace, saying that an envoy from Western Qin would be welcomed the next day.]
[Speaking of which, the Western Qin Kingdom in the book also supports the male protagonist's scheming nature.]
[When the male protagonist launched his counterattack back to Dasheng, he received support from the Northern Frontier while also maintaining contact with the Western Qin Kingdom. In our 31st century, that would make him a perfect diplomat.]
It's rare to find a prince as diplomatic as Di Yanhen.
He now has 30 million elite troops, which is also thanks to the villain's nemesis.
So, does the Western Qin Kingdom... also have a major villainous enemy?
After all, as the regent of the Great Sheng Kingdom, and given his ruthless and decisive actions, it's normal for him to have made many enemies... right?
Xiao Tang glanced at the man's perfect profile.
In the dim light, his profile was sharp and smooth, as perfect as a painting.
He didn't look at her.
However, the arm was firmly wrapped around her waist.
Anyone who didn't know better would think something had suddenly happened to him...
Just as Xiao Tang was about to speak, he deliberately tightened his long arm.
The distance between the two was also shrinking inch by inch.
She couldn't help but move closer to him.
It almost made her wonder if this man wanted to pull her into his arms.
"Husband?"
Why aren't you saying anything?
"Your Majesty, I hope you can rest early!"
Can we please not resort to violence? A gentleman uses words, not fists. Aren't you always a gentleman?
A crisp, cool scent suddenly approached.
Xiao Tang trembled with fright and subconsciously swallowed.
She weakly raised her eyes.
Until his lips landed with perfect precision.
But unlike many times before, today he was filled with pity and doting, and even his breath seemed to carry a touch of gentleness...?
"I admit I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have doubted you."
[In the dead of night, I suddenly felt unsafe...]
The man suddenly released her.
"Do you like it?" he asked in a low, hoarse voice.
[I like... what? Your kiss?]
I kind of...like it.
She didn't dare glance at his face, quickly looking away. "Husband, I'm shy, don't look at me like that~"
If she didn't like it, why would she let him kiss her every time?
This is obvious.
Habits are truly a terrible thing. After getting used to this man's scent, she suddenly felt a sense of security just from being surrounded by his cool, refreshing aura.
She gently pulled out a smile.
She possesses a gentle and graceful demeanor with a touch of shyness.
For some inexplicable reason, she actually "boldly" touched the man's handsome face.
It seems like they're trying to confirm his authenticity.
After a long while, she finally said, "Husband, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
He lowered his eyes, simply holding her, without taking any further action.
He gently rested his chin on the woman's head, letting out a sigh that seemed both satisfied and helpless.
Xiao Tang's ears went numb from listening.
...
the next day……
The two of them successfully made it late for court!
Despite having Hao Fang's face, Xiao Tang still accompanied Di Jingling to court, attracting many strange looks.
after all……
The Imperial Preceptor's residence and the Regent's residence are located in the north and south, respectively. No matter how hard one tries, it's impossible to understand how these two could have met.
The two, who were already late, saw the envoys from the Western Qin Kingdom who had arrived long before.
The envoys who were paying homage to the young emperor were all looking at Di Jingling and Xiao Tang.
"I have met the Regent and the Grand Preceptor."
The man at the head of the group was dressed elegantly, with a handsome face. His hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. He bowed to the two men.
He couldn't help but glance at the woman in red beside him.
The woman wore a red gauze dress, her face veiled, with only her bewitching, fox-like eyes revealing her true nature; those eyes seemed to possess an innate allure.
Following her brother's instructions, she also bowed to the Regent and the Imperial Advisor on this side.
However, the way he bowed was a bit too casual.
In every move she made, there was not a trace of the coquettishness of a princess.
Xiao Tang had heard of this Princess Biyu before.
She was said to be a spoiled princess who disliked music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was uneducated and incompetent. She only liked fighting and killing, and spent her days brandishing swords and spears.
He is highly skilled in martial arts.
Of course, in the book... this girl is also an important character.
She originally came to marry a foreign ruler, and she fell in love with the villain at first sight. However, the villain ignored her, so she turned her love into hatred.
He was immediately manipulated and exploited by Di Yanhen.
In addition, this girl is highly skilled in martial arts, so Di Yanhen can make the most of her strengths.
She was also used on the battlefield.
I don't know what benefits I gave this girl, but she became so devoted to fighting for Di Yanhen.
In the end, Emperor Yanhen ascended the throne and, as he wished, appointed her as a Grand General, but she... committed suicide.
As for the reason, Xiao Tang didn't read it carefully.
It's highly likely that Xiao Rourou used some kind of trick.
How could a seemingly innocent female lead like Xiao Rourou possibly allow a woman with high martial arts skills and who is good at fighting to be appointed as a general and constantly accompany the male lead?
Perhaps Xiao Tang's scrutinizing gaze was too unrestrained, because Qin Biyu glared fiercely at Xiao Tang.
