Chapter 74 Sweet Baby, Do You Remember Me?
Tianbao was awakened, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Xu Laiqing: "Third brother, what's wrong?"
Xu Laiqing took a deep breath and said calmly: "They want to separate us."
"Princess Yongle, the prince sympathizes with your delicate body and has specially prepared a more comfortable carriage for you. Please change the carriage." The voice outside sounded again.
Tian Bao frowned and said crisply, "What about my third brother?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince may continue to ride in this carriage. The prince is worried that the princess and the crown prince will be too crowded in one carriage. This is not the way of Daqi to entertain guests."
"It wasn't crowded at all. The ride was boring, and my third brother and I were able to chat while riding together."
"..." It seemed to make sense, and General Fu outside the carriage had nothing to say.
The young prince had warned her not to be rude to Princess Yongle, so he couldn't force her.
Thinking of the reason why the tyrant had told them to bring the little princess back to Daqi, he took a deep breath, put on a smile, and spoke in a gentler voice: "Little princess, this carriage is well stocked with fruits and snacks, and the prince will chat with you from time to time to relieve your fatigue."
Like a weird uncle trying to trick a child, Tianbao rolled his eyes.
"My sister is young, and it is inevitable that she will be frightened easily when she goes out. Being with me can help relieve her fear a little. I hope... General will understand." Xu Laiqing listened carefully and confirmed that the voice outside was the person who had allowed them to bring the gifts before. Judging from his attire, he should be Daqi's Cavalry General.
After hearing Xu Laiqing's polite and reasonable words, General Fu rode back to the front of the team and reported the matter to Qin Huo.
The brother and sister were nervous for a moment, but when they saw that no one came to ask them to ride in a separate carriage, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At lunchtime, the team stopped in the wilderness.
Xu Laiqing was just about to ask for food from someone when he saw the young boy with charming features riding a horse towards him.
He instinctively disliked the young boy and subconsciously protected Tianbao behind him.
Qin Huo raised his eyebrows, jumped off the horse neatly, and looked blatantly past Xu Laiqing and at Tian Bao behind him.
The young boy's eyebrows were raised, and his smile was pure, without a trace of evil at this moment: "Tianbao, do you still remember me?"
Tianbao leaned over and poked her head out from beside Xulaiqing, her rabbit-like eyes clear and innocent. The next moment, her delicate eyebrows knitted together and she asked warily, "Who are you?"
She looked very familiar, like the fairy sister in her memory.
But this young man definitely cannot be the fairy sister!
The fairy sister is a girl and can't speak.
Qin Huo was about to tell her about his fate with her, but he caught a glimpse of Xu Laiqing staring at him, and he swallowed his words back. The fact that he had once dressed as a fairy sister must be kept to himself and not be known to anyone else.
Qin Huo cleared his throat and said, "I am the fairy's brother. We are twins, a boy and a girl."
Xu Laiqing raised her eyebrows, feeling that this young boy never told the truth. Fortunately, she followed him, otherwise Tianbao would be fooled by her in no time.
Tian Bao had indeed let down her guard and came out from behind Xu Laiqing: "Where is Fairy Sister? Is she okay now?"
Qin Huo saw that long-lost smiling face, and the smile on his lips unconsciously widened. He extended a hand and said, "In Daqi, I will see you again in the future. Let's go and have dinner."
Tianbao looked at the beautiful hand, a hint of disgust flashing across his eyes.
She hugged Xu Laiqing's arm and said, "Third brother, come too."
Qin Huo glanced at Xu Laiqing, slightly displeased: "Of course."
After saying that, he put on that faint smile again and led Tianbao and the other person to a cook.
The chef was rolling spring pancakes, and the familiar aroma made Tianbao's eyes light up. The taste was so familiar!
Not only that, when Tianbao looked up, he saw several chefs nearby, some were grilling meat, some were making candy figures... There were all kinds of things, it was just like a market, not a march at all.
Xu Laiqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Huo inquiringly: "Your Highness, are you going to take them back to Daqi as well?"
Qin Huo didn't try to hide his feelings, but instead smiled at Tian Bao: "Do you like it?"
"Hmm!" Tianbao has had no appetite to eat properly since she decided to go to Daqi as a hostage yesterday. Now she is extremely hungry. Seeing these delicacies that she can't enjoy every day in the palace, she is pleasantly surprised.
"I'm glad you like it. I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to the food after going to Daqi, so I specially invited them to do business in Daqi." Qin Huo was not reserved at all, and openly showed his kindness to Tianbao.
Xu Laiqing: Haha, if someone shows you kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
The cooks stopped what they were doing one after another, looked at each other secretly, and smiled helplessly.
please?
This young prince spoke quite "politely".
Tian Bao looked at the cooks suspiciously: "Is Nanqiao's business not good enough? Why did they travel all the way to Daqi?"
Qin Huo looked at those people with a half-smile. Receiving the danger signal, they all nodded with a smile: "Daqi has a strong army and strong horses. Who wouldn't want to go to Daqi to try their luck now? We ordinary people just want to make money and live a stable life."
Tian Bao put aside her doubts and looked at Qin Huo, her voice soft and sweet, "Thank you, brother."
The queen taught her that one should not hit someone who smiles at them, and that it is not a bad thing to be a little sweet-mouthed.
Qin Huo raised his hand to rub her head, but Xu Laiqing immediately walked between him and Tian Bao without leaving a trace, and took Tian Bao away from Qin Huo's clutches: "I always hear you say that this spring pancake is delicious. Third brother wants to try it too."
Qin Huo's hand was hanging in the air, feeling a little awkward.
He raised his eyebrows: Haha, this inexplicable hostility.
The Daqi army has always been particular about efficiency. In less than an incense stick of time, everyone had finished their meal and put away all the tableware, and even cleaned up all traces of cooking fires. On the other hand, Tianbao was still rolling spring pancakes and making sugar figures.
General Fu waited for a while, and couldn't help but remind Qin Huo: "Young Prince, it's time to hurry."
The efficiency of this army was trained by Qin Huo himself.
However, at this moment, Qin Huo looked at Tian Bao's smile and said, "No hurry, wait until she is happy after eating."
General Fu felt his scalp tingle when he saw the doting look in Qin Huo's eyes.
This little devil was so cold-blooded and ruthless on the battlefield that even a battle-hardened man like him was astonished. But now he is so... tender-hearted?
He followed Qin Huo's gaze and looked at Tianbao.
Princess Yongle...
He knew why the tyrant was so determined to have them bring Princess Yongle back to Daqi. It was rumored that Princess Yongle was the reincarnation of a lucky star, born with a phoenix character, and whoever got the lucky star would rule the world.
Could it be that the young prince also intends to compete for the throne and has started to cultivate feelings with the little lucky star so early?
The tyrant emperor who was far away in Nanqiao slowly woke up, and had no idea that the lucky star he had come up with in a moment of pride had already been distorted.
He looked at the empty Lingxiao Palace and felt a heart-wrenching pain.
The Queen came in wiping her tears: "Your Majesty, Tianbao..."
"Wow..." The tyrant emperor opened his mouth and burst into tears, immediately covering up the queen's slight sobs.
