Qin Mo's series of loud laughs left Kaihime's mind blank; Qin Mo's imposing image finally crumbled in her heart. "What's wrong with the Prince lately? He's becoming increasingly authoritative towards others, but why is he becoming more and more casual with me, more and more..."
When Kaihime was about to teach Qin Mo her bedroom skills, Qin Mo first tossed her a few pairs of shorts, which were safety shorts designed to prevent accidental exposure. Although the shorts were very soft and fit well, Kaihime still blushed. Japanese people don't wear clothes under their traditional clothing, even though Kaihime had worn a bellyband to conform to local customs.
And now that he's going to teach the prince to swim, will he give her a few more "new" clothes?
"Your Highness, Miss Suyu from Suxiang Pavilion requests an audience!" A soft, gentle voice came from outside the martial arts hall, not loud but just loud enough for everyone to hear.
Qin Mo opened the door and saw Lin Bo's daughter, Lin Ruoxi. This childhood playmate had grown quite a bit in the past year, looking every bit the young lady. Her delicate, doll-like face still retained a touch of baby fat, and her once innocent eyes were now filled with adoration as she gazed at Qin Mo with a dazed look. However, when she saw Kaihime behind Qin Mo, her face flushed red, her expression immediately shifted to a pure, indifferent coldness.
"Ruoxi, what brings you here today? Are you craving something sweet? How about I make you braised pork trotters later?" Qin Mo was in a good mood just looking at this little girl. Who wouldn't want an obedient little sister?
"Your Highness, I've grown up now and I don't eat pig's feet anymore..." Lin Ruoxi felt wronged. How could she make Qin Mo forget how greedy she used to be?
After Qin Mo left, Lin Ruoxi and Kaihime started exchanging glances. Kaihime performed a standard Great Xia greeting, and after Lin Ruoxi returned the greeting, she finally spoke up: "Does the 'princess' of Fusang also perform Great Xia etiquette?"
The character "姬" in Kaihime means princess. The daughter of a daimyo can use the character "姬", but no Japanese princess in Daxia would be so arrogant as to actually consider herself a princess.
"Kai deeply admires the Great Xia. Since he has followed His Highness Prince Heng of the Great Xia, he should naturally follow the Great Xia's etiquette. Miss Lin is an elf, so she doesn't need to care about such formalities."
Lin Ruoxi's mother has elven blood, and the elves call themselves free people who never bow down. It's unclear whether Kaihime's words were a compliment or an insult to Lin Ruoxi.
"Hmph!" The two stared at each other for a long time before the little girl Lin Ruoxi left first.
Qin Mo followed Su Yu to Su Xiang Lou. Upon entering the inner courtyard, he saw a tall woman with long legs. Qin Mo instinctively knew she was someone he knew, but unfortunately, she wasn't the person he was thinking of.
"My good sir, when did you become the master of this Su Xiang Lou? You've come to my territory and instead of paying your respects to me, the Prince, you expect me to come and pay my respects to you? How arrogant!"
