C199 (2/2)
Ling Chaofeng shook his head: ”I was seen by others.”
Xiaowan said, ”Why didn't you fear being seen earlier?”
Ling Chaofeng purposely bullied her: ”What happened to us just now?”
Who would have thought that young lady would become so valiant, unrivalled in the world, and actually take the initiative to pounce at him, pressing him down onto the deck.
With the Xiaowan above and Ling Chaofeng below, they looked at each other full of affection. Suddenly, the owner of the boat walked over and said, ”Chao Feng, do you guys eat dinner …”
The owner coughed dryly and turned to leave.
The Xiaowan actually did not care and was not shy. A flame silently burned in Ling Chaofeng's stomach, and it wasn't until nightfall that he returned to the cabin. Following the rocking of the boat, the little girl in his arms was ruthlessly ”burned”.
The river led to the sea and connected to the capital from the north. After that, Prince Haas and Bi Hanxi would ride the boat as if they had arrived at the same time, and head to the sea, returning back to Xiluo.
At that moment, Shen Qing was bringing tea for her father from the Prince Shen’s Mansion of the capital. Shen Zhe was discussing it with a subordinate, she quietly put down the tea tray and the snacks, then left.
Princess had been in and out of his father's study since he was young. His highness had never shied away from his daughter, and his subordinates were already used to it so they naturally had to say whatever they wanted to say. Therefore, when Shen Qing was about to leave, he heard one of her uncles say, ”The last war that happened in Xiluo was seven years ago. In that sea battle, they used at most ninety warships, and each ship had two hundred battle prowess, with nearly ten thousand people.”
Seven years ago, Xiluo was able to send out ninety ships in one sea battle. However, Shen Qing knew that the water masters in the Daqi only had a total of thirty ships, most of which had been left behind from the time of the State of Zhao until now.
His uncle had expanded his territory and concentrated on the surrounding small countries. He had even annexed the former powerful Liang country. He was truly an invincible overlord.
Naturally, in those years, the Xiluo had been busy establishing their own territory. Even though they had won the battle seven years ago, they had suffered heavy losses and had not had the opportunity to make contact with the Daqi. They both knew of each other's existence, but neither of them was formally engaged in business nor had any enmity towards each other.
Seven years to recuperate, it was unknown if they had created another gigantic and sturdy warship, just by looking at the ship that Haas was riding, it was enough to deduce one or two things.
There were two generals in the family. The things that Shen Qing had played with since she was young, were spoils of war swept back from the battlefield. She had the aura of a young miss, and she had also seen everything that the young lady beside her had not been able to touch upon in her entire life.
In Shen Qing's heart, she was the same as her brother, the same as her father. As the son and daughter of the Shen family, she should be dedicated to the Daqi in her life.
This time, she had already made her preparations to go to Xiluo and get married. She wasn't certain that she wouldn't be able to come back if she went, but instead wanted to make a scene there. The women of Daqi couldn't be easily bullied.
But in the end, Big Brother Emperor chose his daughter from Bi Family.
Naturally, the current Bi Hanxi had a completely different impression compared to the past. Such a weak and gentle girl, to be able to have the courage and courage to follow her mother in exile, made others look at her in another light.
Today, she had a chat with Bi Zhenye at the teahouse, talking about his sister. Shen Qing had sensed this long ago and wanted to say something, but she was unable to do so.
However, Little Qing could guess that her status was precious and she could freely enter and leave the palace. With the Empress's favor, the Empress Dowager treated her like a treasure.
Bi Zhenye must have wanted to beg to go to the palace and fight for his sister, but since they were only indifferent friends, he couldn't open his mouth, and wasn't willing to make things difficult for himself.
Shen Qing walked towards her own pavilion, not knowing that her brother had just come to find her father. As Shen Yun stood on the road and watched her sister's figure leave, for some reason, he felt uneasy in her heart, unable to say what feeling she had.
Lian Yi was currently applying medicine for Hanxi in the middle courtyard. Although Hanxi had said that her injuries were much better, the blood clot on her back that had yet to dissipate still looked very painful to people. Lian Yi said gently: ”If it really hurts, tell me, I'll be lighter.”
”Eldest Sister-in-law, she will only say to me, 'Endure it, no way'.” Hanxi laughed, ”However, if Xiaowan is elder sister-in-law, what about you two? Sister-in-law, you are the second sister-in-law, and only after my brother marries his wife will you be the eldest sister-in-law. But the Manager Ling's wife, could it be the eldest sister-in-law? ”
Lian Yi laughed and said: ”How can you call me that.”
Hanxi laughed: ”Actually, she's one year younger than me. Then let's call her by her name, the next time we meet, I'll call her by my name.”
”I heard he's seventeen or eighteen?” Lian Yi replied as she asked curiously, ”What does sister-in-law look like?”
”Beautiful, really.” Hanxi especially liked the Xiaowan, ”I think all the beautiful girls in the world are coming to our house.”
”Someone like big brother naturally needs to be matched by a Celestial Immortal.” Lian Yi said enviously, ”I really want to meet her.”
”What a pity …” I'll never see it again. ” Hanxi laughed, trying her best to hide her sorrow, and said to Lian Yi, ”Sister-in-law, when you meet Xiaowan in the future, tell her, I am not crying, I am marrying with a smile, and Xiaowan does not like me crying.”
