Chapter 1012: It turns out to be him
After hearing what the Second Madam said, Bai Shuqing bit her lip and hesitated to speak.
I couldn't help but think of Tang Bao and Xia Siya.
Should she tell them?
Bai Shuqing was a little embarrassed.
no!
She must first find her third brother to confirm it.
She didn't believe that her third brother would do such a thing!
**
Unlike the sudden appearance of the Northern Qi envoys in the capital, the arrival of the Western Qin envoys was quite high-profile.
They carried the pass along the way with great fanfare, and before they even reached the capital, the news had already reached the emperor's desk.
Emperor Tianxi specially dispatched Xuanyuan Jin, along with ministers from the Ministry of Rites, to the city gate to welcome them, which was considered to give enough face to the envoys from Western Qin.
Although Xuanyuan Jin had a cold face, he also understood that this was a national affair and he would naturally put national affairs first.
What's more, Xuanyuan Jin also has his own plans.
Because among the envoys from Western Qin this time was the Crown Prince Mingxuan of Western Qin.
Crown Prince Mingxuan was the one who was going to marry into the Great Yan Kingdom.
If Mingxuan could be persuaded not to marry Princess Huaning, then things would be easy.
At the city gate.
Xuanyuan Jin rode on his horse, watching the Western Qin troops getting closer and closer.
Then, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"It's you!" Xuanyuan Jin said as he looked at the Prince of Western Qin riding his horse towards him.
Prince Mingxuan of Western Qin smiled slightly and said, "Third Prince, how are you? It seems that Third Prince still remembers Mingxuan."
Xuanyuan Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, and with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, he said, "Prince Ming was unique and generous in the past. I naturally remember that."
Precisely because he remembered this, Xuanyuan Jin became more and more displeased with Prince Mingxuan.
Tang Bao learned about the envoy from Western Qin from Xuanyuan Jin, and naturally wanted to meet Prince Mingxuan.
So, I booked a private room in the teahouse early.
"I heard from my father that the Crown Prince of Western Qin came here to seek a marriage alliance with Dayan and to marry the eldest princess of Dayan." Bai Shuqing asked, "In that case, what will your fifth brother do?"
Bai Shuqing had been to Daliushu Village and naturally noticed the affair between Su Laowu and Princess Huaning.
After listening to Bai Shuqing's words, Tang Bao said, "If he wants to marry her, he will definitely be able to marry her. He is so beautiful!"
No one can take her sister-in-law away!
Western Qin just wanted to form an alliance with Dayan, but the choice of marriage partner might be changed.
"Then... does your fifth brother know about this?" Bai Shuqing asked.
Tang Bao shook her head.
However, I'm afraid it can no longer be concealed.
After all, with the arrival of the Western Qin envoys, this matter is likely to become the headline news in the capital.
"I'll find a chance to tell my fifth brother." Tang Bao said, "Anyway, my fifth brother will definitely beat that Western Qin Crown Prince by a mile!"
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Bai Shuqing naturally nodded in agreement.
"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about today?" Tang Bao suddenly looked at Bai Shuqing and asked.
Bai Shuqing went to find her and happened to see her about to go out, so she followed her to the teahouse.
"It's not okay for me to ask you to have tea for no reason." Bai Shuqing said.
In his heart, he couldn't help but think of his third brother.
She asked her third brother in person whether he had a mistress outside.
The third brother was very angry and denied it immediately, almost falling out with her.
But for some reason, she felt a little uneasy.
Because the third brother’s reaction at the time was too intense.
It seems like... the more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes.
"Of course you can have tea with me." Tang Bao said with a smile: "But if there is anything, you must tell me and you are not allowed to hide it from me."
As he said this, he took out two small porcelain bottles.
"Here, there's beauty cream and lip balm. I specially mixed the lip balm for you, and it's perfect for your skin tone and facial features." Tang Bao said, "In a few days, I'll embroider a shawl for you. When the weather gets warmer, it'll be perfect for outings."
Bai Shuqing was overjoyed.
"Hehe, you are so nice to me. It's worth it for me to make friends with you." Bai Shuqing said, wishing she could hug Tang Bao and kiss her a few times.
"I'm glad you know." Tang Bao raised her chin and said, "I, Su Tang, have always been sincere to my friends."
"Yeah, I know." Bai Shuqing held the two small porcelain bottles lovingly, opened them one by one and smelled them, all of them had her favorite scent!
Bai Shuqing thought of the shawl that Tang Bao had promised her, and quickly said, "I want a light green one with embroidered winter jasmine flowers."
"Well, sure." Tang Bao said generously, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll outshine all the other girls."
Bai Shuqing was overjoyed.
When they go out for a spring outing in a few days, she will definitely give those ladies from famous families a big surprise.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Is that Princess Ford inside? My master invites her over for a chat."
Tang Bao looked at Shi Liu and said, "Ask who his master is?"
Shi Liu agreed, opened the door and walked out.
He came back in a moment and said with a sour face, "Miss, it's the Second Prince."
Tang Bao: “…”
The ghost lingers.
"Tell him that there is a difference between men and women, and it is inconvenient for this princess to go." Tang Bao said.
Shi Liu immediately went out to pass on the message.
Bai Shuqing glanced at Tang Bao and said in confusion, "The Second Prince is so kind to you. This is something many people would beg for, yet you act so disgusted. What's wrong with being a prince's consort?"
Tang Bao's face darkened and she said, "How old am I? If he only wanted to marry into the Su family, it would be fine, but he insisted on saying that he fell in love with me at first sight. Don't you think he's perverted?"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
It seems like... a little bit.
If Tang Bao didn't say it, she wouldn't think so.
After all, there are many girls of Tang Bao's age who are already engaged.
However, now that Tang Bao said that, she also felt a little disgusted.
"Sister Su!" The second prince's voice came from outside the door.
Tang Bao: “…”
Could she pretend not to hear?
able!
Tang Bao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then, he looked out the window.
"Why hasn't the envoy from Western Qin arrived yet?" Tang Bao said with a puzzled expression.
Bai Shuqing's mouth twitched.
"Hey! If he makes such a fuss outside, aren't you afraid that it will spread like wildfire and ruin your reputation?" Bai Shuqing whispered, "In my opinion, you should just have a few words with him and send him off."
Tang Bao: "...Okay."
However, when Tang Bao opened the door, there was no one outside.
The second prince has left.
Tang Bao spread her hands towards Bai Shuqing.
Little did they know that the second prince just pushed the door and entered the next room.
The team of envoys from Western Qin was very long.
In addition to Prince Mingxuan riding on horseback in front and his close guards, there was also a gorgeous carriage behind.
Sitting in the carriage was Mingli, the princess of Western Qin.
Tang Bao sat by the window and looked out.
The first person I saw was naturally Xuanyuan Jin.
However, the person next to Xuanyuan Jin——
She remembers!
Isn’t this the man who was rich and willful and wanted to spend a thousand taels of gold to buy the painting he painted when he was in Qingzhou Prefecture?
It turned out to be him!
Tang Bao suddenly understood.
No wonder Xi Qin specifically asked for Sister Ning in the marriage proposal.
It turned out that this person had already known that the beauty in the painting was the eldest princess of Dayan.
Tang Bao's heart suddenly felt cold.
