The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 958: keep the original intention
Chapter 958 Keep the original intention
He read various books on reform day and night, constantly searching for new laws that would benefit the country and the people and be suitable for the Great Zhou through books and historical records.
Therefore, Bai Qingyan dared to tell Xiao Rongyan that whichever country can truly achieve the four words of enriching the people and strengthening the country will be able to truly unify the world. Xiao Rongyan… did not dare.
Xiao Rongyan asked himself if he did not have the same broad mind as the Bai family, so… he admired the Bai family very much, and he admired the character of the late King Zhenguo from the bottom of his heart. If we talk about a true gentleman… it must be King Zhenguo Bai Weiting.
But Xiao Rongyan also understood that King Zhenguo Bai Weiting died because of his noble character which was countless times better than that of the monarch, and died because of his openness and loyalty.
“It’s not that far yet. I dare not think so. Although Xiliang is not as powerful as before, especially after Great Yan destroyed Wei and Great Zhou destroyed Liang, the Queen of Xiliang can be regarded as a wise ruler. She vigorously promoted Han Shu to fight against the aristocratic families that were able to control the government in Xiliang. Now she is working hard to strengthen the country and vigorously revitalize the military! The world is changing very quickly. If you are not careful… Xiliang will be able to seize the opportunity to rise up!”
Bai Qingyan mentioned Xiliang’s cautious attitude: “In history, there are examples of weak countries rising up and destroying strong countries! When the countries were competing for supremacy, Qin was looked down upon by the other countries and was on the verge of extinction several times, but later it was able to unify the world! Dayan was also… It was in a remote corner and was in danger of extinction at any time, but now it has become a powerful country that dominates a region. I always take the lessons of the past as a warning and dare not underestimate it.”
Xiao Rongyan straightened his back slightly, admiring Bai Qingyan for being able to remain humble at this time. He had seen many monarchs who ascended the throne… but not yet founded a country. When they first ascended the throne, even if they did not think they were invincible, they were still arrogant. It was rare to find a successful person like Bai Qingyan who could maintain his original intention and treat every enemy with caution.
“What Abao said… makes me ashamed.” Xiao Rongyan smiled and looked at Bai Qingyan with tenderness in his eyes.
Seeing Bai Qingyan was slightly startled, Xiao Rongyan asked, “A Bao is so surprised. He just said that he has already regarded me as his husband. Did he lie to me?”
Bai Qingyan couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes. He touched the hairpin hidden in his sleeve, stood up with the help of the table and walked to Bai Qingyan’s side. He knelt on one knee, put one hand on the hidden table behind Bai Qingyan, and the other hand on the table in front of her. He lowered his eyes and stared at Bai Qingyan’s beautiful and bright features: “I haven’t given Abao the gift to congratulate her on her ascension to the throne as the Queen of the Great Zhou…”
As he spoke, Xiao Rongyan took out the jade hairpin and put it on Bai Qingyan’s hair. After looking at it for a moment, he smiled and said, “It looks good…”
Bai Qingyan raised his hand and touched it. It was a hairpin…
I guessed that this must have been carved by Xiao Rongyan himself. The last time it was a goose hairpin, and this time… it was a twin lotus.
The things given to Bai Qingyan were either carefully found by Xiao Rongyan… or were of special significance to Xiao Rongyan, or… were made by Xiao Rongyan himself.
For Bai Qingyan, rare treasures are within easy reach, but the most precious thing is Xiao Rongyan’s thoughts.
Looking at herself, from the time they got engaged until now, she has never spared even a little bit of free time for Xiao Rongyan or prepared anything for him. She feels guilty towards Xiao Rongyan.
“It’s more sophisticated than the carving of the goose hairpin.” Bai Qingyan touched the jade hairpin on her head and looked up at Xiao Rongyan. Her black and white eyes reflected Xiao Rongyan’s firm facial features close at hand, the way Xiao Rongyan was quietly gazing at her, the way Xiao Rongyan’s tender gaze fell on the corner of her lips, and the scorching heat in his eyes.
The hot breath of the man swept across her forehead. She propped herself up slightly with her hands on the table, supported Xiao Rongyan’s ridged arm with one hand, raised her head and gently touched Xiao Rongyan’s lips: “I like it very much! Some other day…”
Before she could finish her words, her lips were sealed by the man who was unable to suppress his passion, and her teeth were suddenly pried open. Bai Qingyan glanced outside the door, and for fear of being seen, she reached out to push Xiao Rongyan’s chest, but he grabbed her wrist.
The kiss did not stop. Xiao Rongyan took Bai Qingyan’s boneless little hands and wrapped them around his narrow waist, kissing him more deeply. Bai Qingyan took the opportunity to breathe and whispered, “A Yan…”
But all her sounds were blocked by Xiao Rongyan. The familiar breath of the man forcefully invaded her heart and lungs, causing Bai Qingyan to close her eyes unconsciously. Her brain went blank for a moment, and all the hairs on her body trembled.
The entire hall was filled with the sound of sand falling from the hourglass.
After an unknown amount of time of kissing, Xiao Rongyan, breathing heavily, let go of Bai Qingyan’s lips.
She suppressed her disordered breathing, opened her eyes, and saw Xiao Rongyan’s ink-black eyes looking at her, as if he wanted to drown her in them. She unconsciously clutched the clothes around Xiao Rongyan’s waist.
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan’s jade-like white and crystal facial skin stained with a deep blush, and couldn’t help but move closer to Bai Qingyan. He kissed her lips again, and stared at Bai Qingyan with affectionate eyes, and his burning love was about to burst out.
He held Bai Qingyan’s flawless features in one hand, rubbed the corner of her lips with his thumb, and tried to get closer to her lips again…
Their noses touched, and she subconsciously held her breath, her heart… pounding.
As the two of them got closer, Bai Qingyan could feel every bit of restraint in Xiao Rongyan’s heavy breathing.
Xiao Rongyan is the only man Bai Qingyan has ever been so close to in both her past and present lives. This strange yet joyful throbbing feeling was given to her by Xiao Rongyan.
Perhaps this is the feeling of being intimate with your lover, making you feel like you are falling into the clouds and your whole body is dizzy.
The moment their lips touched again, she was completely distracted and fell onto the couch with her eyes closed.
Xiao Rongyan’s hands tightly grasped the cushion under Bai Qingyan’s body. The veins on the back of his hands bulged and jumped. It was very difficult for him to hold back the beast that was about to break out of the cage of reason. His breathing was trembling. The person in front of him… was his Abao, the person he loved, cherished, and also the person he respected… the girl who was the apple of his eye.
He hasn’t obtained the consent of Bai Qingyan’s elders, and they haven’t even gotten married yet. He… wants her just like that. How can he talk about respect… How can he talk about cherishing her?
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan, who had his eyes tightly closed and was holding his breath. He closed his eyes again, and almost exhausted all his self-control before whispering, “Don’t be afraid, Abao. Before we get married, I won’t do anything more inappropriate. Don’t be afraid…”
Bai Qingyan’s palms, which were tightly gripping Xiao Rongyan’s wrists, were covered in sweat. She opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Rongyan, who was trying his best to restrain himself. Her lips pursed, and with courage that came from nowhere, she hooked her arms around Xiao Rongyan’s neck and kissed him.
Her face flushed, her eyelashes trembled, her eyes dodged, and she whispered to Xiao Rongyan frankly: “I’m not afraid… I’ve never experienced this before, Ah Yan… I’ve already regarded you as my husband in my heart. I’m not lying to you, I’m just… very nervous.”
