Chapter 1534: Suddenly I Lost Confidence
Tang Bao squatted beside Xuanyuan Jin, and the two of them looked at the traces on the ground together.
"It should be a desert scorpion." Xuanyuan Jin said in a low voice.
"Yeah." Tang Bao nodded.
Her master, Doctor Hua, told her that there is a special kind of scorpion in the desert called the desert scorpion, which is extremely poisonous.
"Brother, why did these scorpions leave?" Tang Bao asked Xuanyuan Jin curiously.
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
He turned his head to look at the little girl in surprise.
Didn't you drive him away?
Tang Bao understood what Xuanyuan Jin meant from his eyes.
Tang Bao shook her head.
“It’s not me!”
Xuanyuan Jin: "...Is it your Xiaohong?"
But he knew that the little green snake with red eyes that Tang Bao raised had the ability to control thousands of snakes.
Tang Bao shook her head again.
"Xiao Hong and the desert scorpion are not only separated by species, but also by geographical distance." Tang Bao whispered, "I don't know if it can control the desert scorpion, but it wasn't it just now."
Xuanyuan Jin's expression became somewhat solemn when he heard this.
In this case, why did those poisonous scorpions suddenly retreat?
It is obvious that those poisonous scorpions are controlled by someone.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have just besieged Tangbao's tent.
Could it be that... the person behind the scenes suddenly changed his mind?
Xuanyuan Jin thought so and looked at a tent in the distance.
In that tent, Qiang Qiong's face was full of disbelief.
"How is this possible?" Qiang Qiong whispered, "Why aren't those scorpions obeying me?"
His confidants were also shocked.
"Could this be the work of that little princess?" the confidant stammered.
Qiang Qiong: “…”
A moment of fear.
This little princess of Dayan can actually control even this kind of desert scorpion?
Who is she?
Could it really be a god from heaven?
Qiang Qiong and his confidants looked at each other, their faces becoming extremely ugly.

Tang Bao and others set out in the summer, and when they arrived at the capital of Western Qin, it was already autumn.
"Oh my god! Look! What kind of bird is that?"
"Wow! So beautiful!"
"Why are they flying around that carriage? Who is sitting in that carriage?"
"I heard it was Princess Fude of Dayan..."
The people of Xiqin on both sides of the street all looked at Tang Bao's carriage.
No, it should be said that it fell from Ersansiwuhong flying in the air onto Tangbao's carriage.
"Wow!! This carriage is so beautiful!"
"Ah! Are those pearls hanging on the top? There are so many! So beautiful!"
"Oh my god! Are these women palace maids? The clothes they wear are so beautiful..."
"This Princess Fude of Dayan is so grand!"
The people of Western Qin were all shocked by the splendor of Tang Bao's carriage and the grand ceremony.
As for their Crown Prince, the fact that he returned from his diplomatic mission to Dayan nearly a year later seems to have been forgotten by people.
All the people's eyes were focused on Tang Bao's carriage.
Princess Mingli sat in the carriage, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, with a gloating smile on her face.
"Humph! Is this the reputation Mu Lin painstakingly built for Ming Xuan? Nothing more than this!"
He was easily defeated by a few cranes.
There was a hint of contempt in Princess Mingli's eyes.
"Isn't that all because of my sister Fu Ya's prowess?" Xia Siya said proudly, "Wherever my sister Fu Ya goes, she outshines everyone else!"
Princess Linghua also said, "If Su Tang hadn't been here, these people would definitely have noticed you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if they didn't think much of you in their hearts."
Princess Mingli: “…”
It seems to make sense.
After all, Mingxuan is the crown prince of a country!
"In that case, I have Su Tang to thank," Princess Mingli said. "I just hope that in the future, she won't be so popular in Xi Qin that she won't overshadow me!"
I am going to be the crown princess.
It would be so embarrassing if a little girl from another country overshadowed me and robbed me of my reputation!
As soon as Princess Mingli finished speaking, Xia Siya and Princess Linghua looked at her with sympathy.
Princess Mingli: “…”
What are you looking at?
Princess Linghua patted Princess Mingli's left shoulder and said, "My condolences."
Xia Siya patted Princess Mingli's right shoulder and said, "Think positively!"
Princess Mingli: “…”
Suddenly I lost confidence...
The news that Prince Mingxuan had gone on a diplomatic mission to Dayan to ask for marriage but had returned empty-handed had naturally spread to the palace of Western Qin long ago.
The Queen of Western Qin sent ministers to welcome the returning Mingxuan, as well as the Crown Prince and Princess Fude of Dayan.
The minister saw Tang Bao's pomp and circumstance——
Well, actually, after seeing the second, third, fourth, and fifth reds, he showed a slightly shocked expression.
This kind of bird... I think I've seen it in the portraits enshrined in the ancestral temple...
The minister suppressed his shock and very politely and courteously sent Xuanyuan Jin, Tang Bao and others to the prepared official inn.
Originally, because of the failure of Prince Mingxuan's return, he planned to give the Crown Prince and Princess of Dayan a small warning.
But after seeing the two, three, four, and five reds, this thought disappeared.
As for Princess Mingli, she went straight into the palace to pay her respects to Her Majesty the Queen.
Before they parted, Princess Mingli looked at Tangbao with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Even though she had secretly learned Prince Mingxuan's voice and movements for many years, she was still afraid of being discovered.
She was especially afraid of being discovered by the Emperor Mu Lin.
After all, Mu Lin is Prince Mingxuan's father.
As for her queen mother, she was not too worried.
Even if her mother found out, could she kill her own daughter?
Princess Mingli was unwilling to believe that her mother would do that.
"Princess Su will be temporarily accommodated here. This prince will go to the palace immediately to pay his respects to the Queen Mother." Princess Mingli said.
Tang Bao immediately noticed Princess Mingli's nervousness.
"Although your Highness's leg is no longer seriously injured, he did sustain some damage after this incident, and he needs to recuperate properly." Tang Bao said with concern, "Besides, your Highness had such great enthusiasm for coming to Dayan, but fate ultimately played a trick on him, and he didn't get what he wanted. This is a pity. I hope your Highness can be more open-minded and stop dwelling on the past, which only caused sadness and made him moody."
Moody?
Princess Mingli's eyes lit up.
That's right! I've suffered such a great change and have been hit hard. Even if my temperament has changed a little and is different from before, it's understandable!
Su Tang is still Su Tang!
This is a little villain!
Princess Mingli glanced at Tang Bao and said, "What the little princess said is absolutely right. It is thanks to these two maids that the little princess sent me that they have been with me these days, allowing me to comfort my wounded heart."
Princess Mingli paused at this point and continued, "I will invite the little princess and Prince Xuanyuan to stay at my residence someday. This will be considered as repaying the little princess's favor."
Tang Bao nodded when she heard that.
She understood that Princess Mingli said this to foreshadow her future relationship.
