Chapter 268 - So... It Was Indeed The Truth (1/2)
Yao Ying knocked Yao Ling's forehead softly and whispered, ”Don't talk nonsense! This is a sacred pet! How could she easily be given to random horse ah~?!” Yao Ying rolled his eyes... Did she think that Bao Bao was a good breed? Yes, indeed he looked majestic, but his breed was far from the sacred pet in front of them ah~!
Generally... the Han Emperor should be looking for the same pure white horse as its sweetheart, so it would maintain the horse's descendants purity. So... there would be no way Bao Bao would be able to become its sweetheart ah~! That was practically just a dream on Yao Ling's part...
Yao Ying knew that sometimes his wife was quite stubborn and he could only warn her, ”Remember what Uncle Qiu said? Don't try to harm Bao Bei, okay?”
Yao Ling asked, ”Who said I want to harm Bao Bei ah~?” Inwardly, Yao Ling thought, 'I just want to ask her hand in marriage for Bao Bao ah~!'
Yao Ying gave her a pointed look without saying any words and Yao Ling seemed to understand his meaning perfectly clear.
Yao Ling pouted and sighed in sadness, but she decided to relent. ”Alright... alright... ah~!” However, she still looked at Bao Bei sadly with a glint of stubbornness in her eyes. In their kingdom, there was no such belief. Thus, Yao Ling didn't really treat Bao Bei as a sacred pet, but a normal one.
Yao Ling had already promise Bao Bao for a sweetheart if he was being a good boy. However, she also knew that this was a bit impossible at the moment --- she indeed had an untouchable target. Who knew... there might be a chance in the future, right?
Bao Bei, who was sitting leisurely and enjoying her sweet moment, felt a chill on her back. She neighed and looked around anxiously, but couldn't find that something was wrong around her. Thus, she decided to scoff and close her eyes. Bao Bei didn't know that she had been targetted by a certain someone for her own horse...
Yao Ying and Yao Ling's intimacy wasn't missed by the young man who gazed at them from far away. That was why he came to the conclusion that last night mȯȧn must have been coming from Yao Ling. No maidservants or servants would dare to do such an obvious thing on the lake, after all, this place belonged to the royal family.
The young man also saw that Lin Jian and Xiao Fang weren't really in a lovey-dovey relationship. Despite liking each other, they didn't make skin contact with each other. That was why he decided not to make an appearance and see who those people were first. He was a cunning fox who loved to lure his target slowly...
When Xiao Fang was busy attending Bao Bei and Lin Jian was busy currying favor with Uncle Qiu, Yao Ying and Yao Ling whispered to each other. They seemed to talk sweet nothing from the outside, but in truth, they were talking about serious matters.
”Ying... what is your plan to get the drawing?” Yao Ling asked curiously while chewing her lips in nervousness at the same time. She knew that she was too hasty this time, but she couldn't stop the nagging feeling that she had. She felt that she had to get her hand on the drawing as soon as possible. She also didn't understand what was going on, but she trusted her gut feelings.
Yao Ying noticed her agitated state and answered her seriously, ”Why don't we do it tonight? You should bring your various powders. I will ask Xiu to pay attention to the guard and see when is the time they will change shift.”
Yao Ling nodded and trusted Yao Ying's arrangement. They couldn't possibly do anything about it at noon anyway and she decided to try to forget about it for now.
After she calmed down, she started to enjoy playing with Bao Bei. The white horse really had a majestic temperament --- she was so calm and elegant with the bearing of a Queen. No wonder she could be referred to as 'sacred'. In this aspect, if she compared her with that stubborn Bao Bao... well... their gap was indeed too far. However, she had indeed fallen in love with Bao Bei ah~! She was really the perfect candidate to become Bao Bao's wife.
Yao Ling didn't realize that she behaved like a mother who searched for a daughter-in-law, especially combined with her satisfied expression when she looked at Bao Bei. Yao Ying was speechless and could only shake his head helplessly. It seemed like his wife still didn't give up on the idea of becoming the horses' matchmaker. However, he knew that they could do nothing about it. If they dared to do something to the white horse, they would certainly be killed ah~!
