The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 521: treasure
Chapter 521 Take Care
Perhaps because he hadn’t slept all night, Xiao Rongyan’s already deep eyes became even darker, with tired red bloodshot visible in his eyes.
Dayan has been feeling a little uneasy these days.
The new king of Beirong sent envoys to Yan, asking Dayan to grant him his princess as queen in marriage in order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries. To this end, he was willing to donate cattle, sheep and food to the Dayan army stationed in Beirong for the winter, and also presented their Rongdi prescription for treating typhoid fever.
The army of Dayan stationed in Rongdi is the most powerful bargaining chip for Dayan to control Northern Rong and make Northern Rong fear and surrender… However, a sudden outbreak of typhoid fever has occurred in the army of Dayan, and it is already strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Now Northern Rong needs Dayan’s army, so they proposed a marriage in exchange for peace, seeking mutual reassurance.
But if winter comes, the Southern Rong and the Northern Rong will no longer be able to continue fighting due to lack of food. As time goes on… even with the Southern Rong by their side, the Northern Rong will inevitably become wary of Dayan.
The Emperor of Yan has no daughter. The princess does not know that the Ninth Prince Murong Yan has long been away from Yan State and is busy working for the country.
In order to resolve the predicament of the Yan garrison, the princess requested for marriage in front of the Rongdi envoys in the hall. The Rongdi envoys were delighted. Seeing that he could no longer persuade them, the Yan emperor conferred the title of princess on the princess and married her off. When Xiao Rongyan received the news yesterday, the princess of Yan was already on her way to marriage.
Xiao Rongyan had never been in favor of marriage, and as for the doctors and herbal medicine… Xiao Rongyan had already sent a batch, and he was also raising food and supplies for the Beirong garrison. Why would he need the women of Dayan to go with him for marriage!
Besides, the princess is the most valiant general of their Great Yan… Xie Xun’s sweetheart. No matter what, Xiao Rongyan must find a way to stop the princess before the marriage team enters Rongdi and keep his sweetheart for Xie Xun.
The drizzle wet Xiao Rongyan’s hair, and the cloak on Bai Qingyan’s shoulders was also covered with a layer of moisture.
“I originally wanted to take advantage of the remaining half an hour to leave and go to Bai Mansion to say goodbye to you…” Xiao Rongyan’s smiling dark eyes reflected the bright lights on Yangming Street in Shuoyang City that never went out all night.
The bright yellow light reflected on Xiao Rongyan’s angular facial features, making his facial features more upright. He lacked his usual elegance and showed a certain authoritative and decisive aura.
Bai Qingyan nodded gently and tightened his grip on the reins: “I was thinking of sending you off outside the city.”
Hearing this, Xiao Rongyan raised his hand and gently grasped Bai Qingyan’s slender wrist, stroking her wrist bone with his thumb. The smile in his eyes deepened, his throat rolled slightly, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to abduct Bai Qingyan to his horse’s back.
“Let me take you out of town.”
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, the wind blew off the hood of the black cloak covering Bai Qingyan’s head, and the wild goose jade hairpin carved by Xiao Rongyan himself was inserted in Bai Qingyan’s ink-black hair.
He pulled with his big hand, causing the unsuspecting Bai Qingyan to stagger towards him, and his shoulder hit Xiao Rongyan’s chest.
Seeing the goose hairpin on Bai Qingyan’s head, he couldn’t help himself and captured Bai Qingyan and put him on his horse.
Bai Qingyan was held in Xiao Rongyan’s arms, and the familiar scent of the man made her breathing disordered.
The two were very close… so close that Bai Qingyan could see Xiao Rongyan’s extremely long eyelashes when he raised his eyes, and so close… that Xiao Rongyan could kiss Bai Qingyan’s lips when he lowered his head.
Bai Qingyan tightened his grip but held the reins tightly without letting go.
His eyes were fixed on the corners of Bai Qingyan’s lips, his throat churning, and he slowly approached with slightly heavy breathing, tentatively.
The air in the early morning was damp and cool with drizzle, but when Xiao Rongyan’s nose touched her nose tip, her face became uncontrollably hot.
She tightly grasped Xiao Rongyan’s strong arm, held her heartbeat, turned her head away and said, “This is on the street!”
Xiao Rongyan nodded, hugged Bai Qingyan closer, and said in a hoarse voice: “It’s raining…You are not in good health, go back and rest, I will take you back home.”
As he spoke, Xiao Rongyan dismounted and helped Bai Qingyan down, and the two of them walked back leading the horses.
“Wang Jiuzhou should stay in Shuoyang for the time being. Apart from the matter of the mine, if you have anything that is inconvenient for the people in the Bai Mansion to do, you can use Wang Jiuzhou. He is quite capable of doing things.” Xiao Rongyan said to Bai Qingyan.
“We are in Shuoyang, so we are not inconvenient with manpower. But for you… the journey to Rongdi will be difficult, so you must take care of yourself.”
Xiao Rongyan smiled and glanced at Bai Qingyan who was saying goodbye seriously. His smile deepened and he nodded: “Well, don’t worry about me. I’ve been traveling all year round and I can take care of myself. But you…did you take your medicine on time?”
Bai Qingyan recalled the day when Xiao Rongyan broke into her boudoir to deliver medicine. She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten about the medicine.
Seeing Bai Qingyan didn’t answer, Xiao Rongyan knew that Bai Qingyan had probably forgotten: “If you start using it, use it at night…you can sleep better.”
“I remember.”
Bai Qingyan stopped when he was about to turn into the street of Bai Mansion: “It’s good to stop here, don’t send me off! Be careful on the road, don’t be anxious, your safety is important.”
Xiao Rongyan took a step closer to Bai Qingyan and put on her hood that had been blown off by the wind. His big hands naturally fell on her thin shoulders and he lowered his voice very low: “Only if we unify the country sooner, we can fulfill Yan’s wish of marrying Abao. Yan…how can you not be anxious?”
Bai Qingyan felt a slight itch in his palms. He looked up at Xiao Rongyan, whose eyes were calm and deep. His heart beat faster and faster.
Ever since she and Xiao Rongyan started dating, Xiao Rongyan always tried to get closer to her, and it was hard for Bai Qingyan not to be touched.
No matter how heavy the burden on your shoulders is, reason cannot restrain your emotions, and once you fall in love, it is hard to turn back.
Seeing that there was no one around, she walked closer to Xiao Rongyan, grabbed Xiao Rongyan’s arm, stood on tiptoe, her eyelashes trembling with nervousness.
When Xiao Rongyan saw Bai Qingyan approaching, he was surprised and couldn’t help but hug Bai Qingyan’s slender waist and lowered his head slightly to cater to her.
When Bai Qingyan’s lips touched Xiao Rongyan’s hot thin lips, the sound of a night watchman’s clapper came from Mingyang Street. Bai Qingyan hurriedly put down his toes and tried to push the man away with his red face.
This was the first time that Bai Qingyan took the initiative, so Xiao Rongyan was not willing to give in. He tightened his strong arms around Bai Qingyan’s slender waist, pulled her back into his arms, lowered his head and kissed Bai Qingyan again, then pulled the reins with one hand, and the two horses kicked their hooves, surrounding the two of them.
The hood on Bai Qingyan’s head slipped off again, and his hands on Xiao Rongyan’s chest tightened, tightly grasping his clothes. He could even feel Xiao Rongyan’s strong heartbeat and his hot body temperature.
The man’s deep scent, as deep as magnolia, forcefully invaded his heart and lungs. Bai Qingyan didn’t know whether it was because the drizzle in the early morning was too cold or because of something else, but his body trembled and goose bumps appeared on his neck.
