After saying that, Qin Kou'er turned around and walked back with a smile. "Your Highness, I've taken care of things here. Why don't we go to the Prince's residence to see the Princess now?"
Lan Qingtian nodded, "Okay! Let's go now!"
With that, Lan Qingtian took Qin Kou'er home to see Shu Lingxi.
When the two arrived home, Shu Lingxi was gently pruning the leaves of a jasmine plant with scissors in hand.
Lan Qingtian was excited to see his wife, and he couldn't help but walk around the stone path in the garden and say loudly, "Lingxi, I brought Qin Kou'er back to you! To keep you company!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Lingxi looked up and smiled gently at Qin Kou'er, "Miss Kou'er has arrived!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Kou'er quickly took two steps forward, stopping a short distance away from Shu Lingxi. She then gently bowed slightly and said, "Kou'er greets Your Highness. Thank you again for Your Highness's righteous assistance last night!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Lingxi smiled even more beautifully. She handed the scissors to the maid below and, supported by Lan Qingtian, slowly walked over, saying, "It was just a small favor, yet it's worth Miss Kou'er remembering it so fondly! What a well-mannered child!"
As she spoke, Shu Lingxi walked to Qin Kou'er's side, gently released Lan Qingtian's hand, and helped Qin Kou'er up. Then, she looked at her carefully and said, "Oh my, it was so dark and starless last night that we couldn't see the true face of Mount Lu. But looking at it closely today, Miss Kou'er is truly stunningly beautiful!"
Qin Kou'er blushed immediately upon being praised by Shu Lingxi, and said shyly with a low laugh, "Your Highness is too kind! Kou'er is but a plain girl, hardly worthy of such a refined appearance!"
"Nonsense! Miss Kou'er's looks and demeanor are in no way inferior to those ladies from prominent families in the capital! On the contrary, Miss Kou'er is not only exquisitely beautiful, but she also possesses a free-spiritedness and domineering presence that other women simply do not have. This perfect blend of qualities makes her unforgettable at first glance! I really wonder which lucky man will be able to marry such a wonderful wife as Miss Kou'er in the future!"
At this point, Shu Lingxi sighed and turned to look at Lan Qingtian with a wistful expression: "Your Highness, you see, I like Miss Kou'er so much, I really can't bear to let her marry someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qingtian was terrified and quickly strode over, pulling Shu Lingxi's hand away from Qin Kou'er's. He then looked at his wife with extreme fear and said, "Wife, don't think such things! That girl has already been set in stone by Lan Linxue, and Lan Xiuyuan is also eyeing her covetously. If you want your husband to live a few more years, then stop causing trouble. Okay? I've already said I won't take a concubine. So please stop causing trouble for your husband, okay?"
Seeing Lan Qingtian's face on the verge of tears, Shu Lingxi glared at him coldly, then suddenly reached out and pinched his ear. "You shameless Lan Qingtian! All you think about is taking a concubine. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at in front of the younger generation? I only said I couldn't bear to give this child to someone else, but I never said I wanted to give the child to you! Tell me! You say you don't want to take a concubine, but aren't you thinking about it day and night?"
Lan Qingtian's face was so bitter he was almost in tears. He grabbed Shu Lingxi's hand and shouted, "Injustice! My wife, I'm innocent! I never thought of that! I was just afraid you'd be petty and bring up the matter of me taking a concubine to torment me! Qin Kou'er is a coveted prize for so many people. Your husband doesn't want to cause you any trouble at this time!"
"What trouble could I be in? I didn't say anything, what trouble could I possibly be in!"
As she spoke, Shu Lingxi circled around and gave Lan Qingtian another beating.
Qin Kou'er stood to one side, feeling somewhat at a loss and embarrassed as she looked at everything in front of her.
She knew perfectly well that it was a couple flirting, but she couldn't avoid it, nor could she intervene. Moreover, she was the main person they were discussing. In short, Qin Kou'er's expression was incredibly complex and utterly embarrassed.
Finally, the young couple finished their flirting. Shu Lingxi then raised her head, touched the pearl flower at her temple, and said to Qin Kou'er with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Miss Qin, you must have found this amusing!"
Qin Kou'er quickly shook her head and said with a smile, "The Prince and his wife are such a loving couple, it's something many people envy!"
Shu Lingxi sighed, "What deep affection between husband and wife? It's just about getting by!"
As she spoke, Shu Lingxi took Qin Kou'er's hand again, smiling gently as she said, "Miss Kou'er and I hit it off immediately. Why don't you accompany me to sit in the garden next door? Although it's not as picturesque as Yangzhou, it's still quite famous in the capital. The garden designer here is quite skilled!"
"Yes! Kou'er will follow the Princess and keep her company while she speaks!"
Shu Lingxi really liked Qin Kou'er's obedient yet controlled nature.
Shu Lingxi said that she felt an instant connection with Qin Kou'er because she really liked this girl in front of her, who was as beautiful as an angel, but whose eyes always hid a fierce and resolute side.
Last night, when Shu Lingxi first met Qin Kou'er, she was standing in front of her, brandishing a whip and lashing someone.
Even from a distance, Shu Lingxi could still sense the ruthless aura and resolute, cold killing intent emanating from Qin Kou'er.
She had heard many people mention Qin Kou'er's name, but until she actually stood in front of her, she couldn't feel the powerful aura emanating from Qin Kou'er. That fearless and awe-inspiring presence was truly comparable to that of thousands of troops on the battlefield.
