Chapter 148 Qin Huo sends Tian Bao back to Nan Qiao
Qin Simei didn't expect Xu Laiqing to be so heartless. She knew that she had been in love with him for so many years, but his attitude of avoiding her as much as possible still hurt her deeply.
It took great courage for her to confess her feelings in public. Not only did he reject her on the spot, he also pushed her to other princes.
Qin Simei used to like throwing things and riding horses when she got angry, but Tianbao corrected both of them, saying that throwing things was a waste and could easily hurt people, while riding horses was even more dangerous. When one's emotions were fluctuating greatly, one could easily fall and become paralyzed if not careful.
So Qin Simei now loves to eat to vent her anger. She treats the roast chicken in her mouth as Xu Laiqing, tearing and biting it fiercely, and eating it up to vent her anger!
Qin Simei and the two envoys who arrived earlier stayed in Nanqiao for three days before they finally waited for the follow-up Daqi team to arrive.
"The Emperor has prepared some dowry for the princess, which will be delivered soon."
Qin Simei rolled her eyes at the visitor and said indifferently, "What a crap dowry! It's too cheap for them!"
The later arrivals were puzzled. After the earlier envoys quietly explained the reason, they chuckled dryly and said, "Princess Yongle will be back in a few days. The Regent even sent me a letter to the princess, saying it can help her with her urgent needs."
Qin Simei was in a state of panic, and upon hearing this, she hurriedly took the letter back to her room.
Qin Huo was very good at predicting things and guessed that Xu Laiqing was probably unwilling to marry her and would push her to other princes.
There are two suggestions. One is to let Xu Laiqing pretend to marry Tian Bao in the name of not letting Tian Bao feel sad and embarrassed, and stay by Xu Laiqing's side and work things out slowly. The other is to pick the most powerful prince, love her, and have him jump in front of Xu Laiqing every day to make him angry to death!
Qin Simei was angry, aggrieved, sad and disheartened, so she chose the second option without thinking.
The next day, the envoys from Daqi came to see the emperor. Qin Simei said directly to Xu Laiqing, "Your Majesty, I have thought seriously for several days. I have set my eyes on the Fourth Prince. I can be his co-wife."
Xu Laiqing originally thought that she would bring up the matter of entering the harem again, but he didn't expect that she would compromise so easily!
It just...it makes him feel depressed!
Who was it that confessed her love to him in public? Who was it that kept nagging Tianbao about her love for him?
The young emperor's already cold expression changed several times. He clearly wanted to nod, but the words that came out of his mouth were: "Fourth brother, no, you change someone else."
"Oh! Your Majesty, all you care about is whether I can get married or not. Why can't you let me choose the one I like?"
"Like?" Xu Laiqing's pupils shrank, as if pricked by needles. "Princess, if you like him after just one meeting, then why not meet more of the other royal brothers..."
"More than once."
"Hmm?" Xu Laiqing frowned.
Qin Simei rolled her eyes at him. "The first time I met the Fourth Prince was when he went to Daqi to see Tianbao several years ago. I felt then that he was a man of integrity and righteousness, and handsome. I saw him again a few days ago, and he was tall and handsome, and he was the first to refuse a marriage proposal with me. It shows that he is not afraid of power... I admire him very much, and I have fallen for him."
Xu Laiqing was filled with irritation and suddenly replied, "I am the first one."
Now it was Qin Simei's turn to be confused: "What do you mean?"
Xu Laiqing realized it later and was surprised why he said this. He thought about it with a serious face and didn't say anything else.
Qin Simei rolled her eyes at him again: "Anyway, I'm attracted to the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty, please do as you wish. I'll take my leave!"
She was used to being unruly in Daqi, so she didn't care about etiquette and just turned around and left.
The two Nanqiao ministers present were quite critical. After seeing off Daqi's envoys, they returned to the throne room and complained, "Is this the behavior of Daqi's princess? She's so arrogant and disrespectful, it's obvious she doesn't take Nanqiao seriously. Is this Daqi's attitude towards marriage?"
"She's here for a marriage alliance, but being so picky makes it seem like I, Nanqiao, begged her to come. Your Majesty, Nanqiao must not allow Daqi to bully her like this. The Nanqiao of today is no longer the Nanqiao of yesterday. We should take this opportunity to let the whole world see the Nanqiao we have become..."
"She is just like that." Xu Laiqing interrupted them, feeling that these two people were so noisy in singing the same tune!
The two ministers were stunned for a moment before continuing, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Princess Daqi is inherently arrogant?"
"Daqi deliberately sent a princess with this kind of temper to marry him. He wasn't sincere about it at all!"
"If Daqi is sincere about the marriage, he should send a gentle, dignified and graceful woman instead of being so fickle and undisciplined..."
"Is that what you should say?" Xu Laiqing shot a cold look at him. "If I were to accept your instigation and treat her harshly, the peace between Daqi and Nanqiao would be shaken to its foundation. Do you think Nanqiao isn't chaotic enough?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The two ministers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not say another word.
The two of them glanced at each other secretly, and both felt a subtle strangeness in their hearts.
I always feel that this young emperor of my own has some special feelings towards the fourth princess Daqi. Why does he seem to be on her side in everything he says...
"Don't see me off. Your foot injury hasn't healed completely yet. Go back." They were almost at the Nanqiao territory, and Tianbao urged Qin Huo to go back again and again.
Qin Huo was reluctant to leave, and silently held her hand: "Do we really have to go back?"
He knew it was wrong to force her to stay, but he couldn't bear to leave. She hadn't seen her family for many years, and she would wait for him to marry her after returning. But thinking about how many more days and nights they would be apart, Qin Huo lost his mind.
"Brother Huo, don't be like this." Tianbao's eyes were red. She was originally worried about Qin Simei's departure. She had forgotten the pain of separation in the past few days, but now that Qin Huo had disturbed her like this, she really couldn't bear to be separated from him.
Qin Huo came back to his senses, looked up and saw her red eyes, and his throat rolled.
Want to kiss.
There was no one around, so he indulged the roaring beast in his heart, put his lips on hers, and rolled and lingered.
The hot kiss could not be held back, sliding from the corner of the eyes, to the tip of the nose, to the corner of the lips, and finally pressing hard on Tianbao's soft red lips, from sparse to dense, like a storm.
Tianbao was confused, and her white hands pinched his sleeves, which unconsciously turned into hugs on his waist.
The boy's hands were even more unbridled, from cupping her face, sliding down to her slender shoulders, and then down to grip her thin waist. The beast in his heart clamored for more, and his fingers even hooked on her belt.
Tianbao breathed hard, and whispered softly: "Brother Huo~"
Soft and crispy, a fatal temptation that goes to your bones.
The string called reason in Qin Huo's mind was originally tightly stretched, but because of such a seductive moan, it broke with a "click", and his reason collapsed and retreated step by step.
Inside the swaying carriage, the spring scenery is graceful.
Just as Qin Huo's restless hands were about to take another step forward, a muffled loud noise came from the front, startling him and causing him to fall to the ground.
