Chapter 142 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (8)
Having said that, among these two male protagonists, the Crown Prince is more domineering and has the demeanor of a king who has the final say in everything.
Rong Jinxiu is more inclined to General Huo, who is passionate, cold-looking but kind-hearted.
His heart is filled with the country, the people and the people. I believe he will not sit idly by and watch Qingwu in trouble, and will definitely lend a helping hand.
Thinking of this, Rong Jinxiu's originally anxious heart finally settled down a little.
Rong Jinxiu was staring intently at the door, completely unaware that Qing Wu, who was not far behind her, was secretly glancing at her.
Qingwu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
Just now, Qing Wu had noticed that Rong Jinxiu was a little strange - she kept looking out the door, as if she was anxiously waiting for someone to come, but at the same time seemed quite afraid that person would show up.
It seems that there will be an unexpected surprise today. Qingwu slowly stroked the marriage bag she had just received today.
I had originally only wanted to make myself familiar to Mrs. Huo and leave a good impression, but now...
Will I get what I want?
Sure enough, just when Rong Jinxiu was becoming increasingly restless, what was supposed to come still came.
In order to express her sincerity, Qingwu specially made mung bean cakes before leaving.
Firstly, these cakes can be distributed to the people in the temple; secondly...
Qingwu opened the door and walked it over to Mrs. Huo.
It was midsummer and the heat was unbearable. The small, exquisite, sweet and delicious mung bean cakes were undoubtedly a great way to cool down and satisfy your cravings.
Mrs. Huo also likes to eat such snacks.
"Xiao Wu is so thoughtful. If I have one more mung bean cake, will there not be enough to share?"
Facing Mrs. Huo's concerned inquiry, Qingwu hurriedly bowed and responded softly, "Mrs. Huo, you are really too polite. This little mung bean cake is nothing. As long as you like it, it's fine. Awu has prepared a lot. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
Mrs. Huo gently picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth. After chewing it carefully, she showed appreciation and couldn't help but praise it: "It's sweet but not greasy, very delicious. Xiaowu has such a skillful hand."
Hearing this praise, Qingwu smiled slightly, and her smile seemed very subtle.
"My lady, you are too kind. I only know how to make some snacks, which are not worthy of being served in a formal occasion."
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible girl in front of her, Mrs. Huo felt fond of her.
So good, so good... She really wanted a well-behaved daughter like this, not like that brat of hers...
Mrs. Huo was just about to say something to Qingwu with a smile, when suddenly, her ears caught a slight sound of unusual movement.
His originally relaxed and cheerful expression instantly became serious, and his face became stern.
Immediately afterwards, a group of ghostly Japanese pirates suddenly rushed out from every corner of the temple without any warning.
These Japanese pirates had hideous and ferocious faces, holding sharp blades that gleamed with cold light in their hands, and they completely broke the originally peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in an instant.
For a moment, everyone in the temple was frightened and terrified.
Screams and shouts resounded throughout the temple, people began to flee in all directions, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
However, faced with this sudden change, Mrs. Huo remained calm, frowned tightly, and tried to keep herself calm.
But the next second, an extremely sharp long blade was pointed straight at her.
As a female general who had fought in battles before, Mrs. Huo naturally would not be afraid of this little Japanese pirate in front of her.
Although the situation was critical at the moment, she did not feel panicked at all.
but......
Mrs. Huo looked at the girl next to her. A delicate girl like her must have never seen such a scene before and must be extremely scared.
As expected, the beautiful girl held hostage by the criminals was thin, and the shiny long blade was across her fair and delicate neck. Just a little force would cause her to bleed and die in an instant.
Rong Jinxiu, who was standing outside the door, was so scared that her face turned pale as paper, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
However, just when she was about to rush in to save people regardless of the consequences, she was stopped in her tracks by a look from Qingwu.
Qingwu's eyes revealed a firmness and determination, telling her not to act rashly.
So, Rong Jinxiu had no choice but to bite her lips tightly, standing there trembling all over, watching the young lady in danger but unable to do anything.
Mrs. Huo was surprised. How could such a young girl have such a calm mind?
In this situation, Mrs. Huo could see that although Qingwu was pretending to be calm, her body was trembling slightly and she looked too weak to handle.
But she still straightened her back, trying her best to maintain the dignity and reserve that a lady from a noble family should have. She kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing, making people dare not underestimate her.
It has been a long time since she saw a girl who was so pleasing to her eyes.
Although she was born so fragile, she is so tenacious at this moment that people can't take their eyes off her.
Although I have never seen what her true appearance looks like under Qingwu's veil, just by looking at her clear, lively and expressive eyes, I can infer that this woman must be of good appearance.
It was inappropriate, and Mrs. Huo felt a pity in her heart again.
What a pity, if such a beauty is paired with her son...
And my future children will surely be very good-looking...
Don’t think too far ahead, it’s better to solve the problem at hand first.
Mrs. Huo was a female general who had fought in the battlefield before, so she could naturally tell where this group of people came from. It must be that her son was about to go to the battlefield, and after receiving the news, the people behind the scenes became anxious, so they couldn't wait to take action in advance.
However - I believe her son must have received the news a long time ago and will be here soon.
Just delay a little longer until her son arrives.
Mrs. Huo was confident that they would not be harmed in any way.
In fact, before this, she was a little worried that Qingwu beside her would anger those vicious Japanese pirates because of her fear.
But what she never expected was that this seemingly fragile little girl was surprisingly calm and composed. Even she couldn't help but look at her sideways because of her composure beyond her age.
Qingwu was of course afraid, but danger often comes with opportunity.
Qingwu had a premonition that after passing this level, her fate would be very different.
For the sake of her own future, Qingwu will not be afraid and will not show weakness.
