When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Qin Xingyue glanced sideways, still with a faint smile on his face, but no longer as gentle as before, and said sharply: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being tolerated by this king?"

Qin Xingyue knew that Xu Mingxi was a very articulate person and was afraid that he might cause trouble.

"I gave you some face in the past, but you really think you are a piece of cake. Do you dare to challenge me?"

Without waiting for Xu Mingxi to open his mouth to argue, Qin Xingyue raised his voice: "I say, drag him away!"

There really were guards who came to Qin Yuling and Xu Mingxi, and pulled Xu Mingxi away from the venue, one on each side.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Xi'er! Let Xi'er go!"

Qin Yuling panicked, but she was no match for the guards' strength and they couldn't pull her back.

Xu Mingxi is Qin Yuling's backbone. When she is not around, Qin Yuling feels very uneasy.

I stepped back a few steps unconsciously.

"Don't worry, Princess. I won't do anything to her. But she's a little noisy. I want some quiet time, so I'll send her out for a walk."

"For now, let's get back to the matter of the eldest princess."

"Does the eldest princess refuse to acknowledge the achievements of these three people? This is obvious to all."

"This princess said, next time!"

Qin Xingyue suddenly let go:

"Well, whatever. Since the princess says so, I will not force her."

Qin Lingruo, who was standing in the dark, jumped up and down anxiously after hearing this: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You're giving up just like that! I'm so pissed off!"

"Don't worry, be patient." Xia Xueyao held back Qin Lingruo who was about to rush over: "Let's wait and see what happens next, he must have a plan."

Sure enough, Qin Xingyue said again:

"I will not stay any longer. I have been very busy lately. I also have to deal with the envoys from Nanyuan coming to Kyoto. I don't have the heart to play with you here."

As he said this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait! You said, Envoy Nanyuan is going to Kyoto!?"

Xu Mingxi was right! Nanyuan really sent an envoy!

"Oh, this matter has not been announced yet, but it is not a secret. Father originally planned to make it public when the envoys approached Kyoto. Now that you know about it, I will not hide it from you. It is indeed the case."

Qin Yuling swallowed and clenched her fists. What Xu Mingxi said was right. The marriage was probably true.

"Do you know why they came here?"

"Princess, this matter involves two countries. I dare not make a firm statement. I guess, it's just a friendship, right?"

Qin Yuling's heart skipped a beat.

Even though I was wearing a fox fur coat, a chill still spread all over my body from the inside out, chilling me to the bone.

"Befriend..."

For two countries to have friendly relations, marriage is the most common way.

She choked up and asked, "Does my brother know approximately when it will be?"

"I'm not sure, probably in the next few days."

"Probably in a few days, my father will announce it to the public."

Seeing Qin Yuling's stiff and livid face, Qin Xingyue asked knowingly, "What's wrong with the eldest princess? Why do you look like that?"

"If the two countries are really on good terms, it will benefit both the country and the people and avoid war. It's a good thing and we should be happy. Why do you look like this?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Qin Yuling's heart accurately.

Not much? Oh, in a few days, it will be directly related.

"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the princess. I will go back first."

Qin Yuling didn't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but every word he said mentioned that the envoys came to the capital, which had nothing to do with her.

The more he said this, the more panicked Qin Yuling became.

His forehead was covered with sweat. He looked up at the three people on the field, then looked at Qin Xingyue who was walking farther and farther away. It seemed that he had really let go of the matter. His lips were tightly pursed.

No more hesitation!

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Yuling finally said, "Take the three leaders away. This princess needs to think about it carefully."

Xu Xinyue, Xia Xueyao and their group, who were not far away, were watching the scene with great interest.

Qin Yuling realized it belatedly: "Hey? Brother, what is this——"

Xu Xianyue said: "Retreat to advance."

From the moment Qin Xingyue mentioned Nan Yuan, she understood Qin Xingyue's plan.

She was very familiar with this trick. When she was hiding her identity as Doctor Xue, she had no idea how many times she had used it on Qin Yuechuan.

Tried and tried.

She glanced at Qin Yuechuan secretly, but she didn't expect that Qin Yuechuan didn't watch the show. It seemed that he had been staring at her without blinking since the beginning.

Xu Xinyue's little expression was naturally visible.

As if he saw through what she was thinking:

"Yueyue seems very proud?"

Since he had discovered it, Xu Xinyue did not try to hide it anymore. She raised her chin slightly with a hint of pride and said, "Yes, of course."

Qin Yuechuan could only sigh helplessly.

Qin Lingruo hadn't noticed what was going on here, and was still muttering to herself:

"Oh, so that's how it is! Then Qin Yuling is now——"

Xia Xueyao said: "We should make a decision among the three as soon as possible before the envoy arrives in Beijing."

"It's really strange. What does the envoy's visit to the capital have to do with her?"

Qin Lingruo was confused.

Xu Xinyue, Xia Xueyao, and Qin Yuechuan all focused their eyes on Qin Lingruo and stared at her for a long while.

"You guys, what are you looking at me doing?"

Everyone sighed: "Alas..."

At this time, Qin Xingyue also returned from the field and said with a faint smile: "Things have been decided. Qin Yuling should be able to choose one of the three people in a short time."

Xia Xueyao was still puzzled: "What happened to my half-brother?"

"She wants to climb the social ladder, right? Then I will help her. Anyway, there is no future for her in her current position, so what does it matter if she becomes an official or not?"

Anyway, Yaoyao will marry him eventually, and after helping her get her things back, he will draw a clear line between himself and that mess.

"Will Father agree?"

"Then it depends on Qin Yuling's ability. It's nothing more than crying and making a fuss again."

"..."

"It's not like today's trip was in vain, right Yueyue, Yaoyao?"

Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao smiled and replied, "Yes."

"Let's go there to play. I heard that they have planted a few new plum trees this year. I haven't seen them yet. Let's go and take a look together."

After saying that, he took one of them in each hand and ran towards the depths of the plum garden.

Qin Leng followed silently, just like a maid.

Qin Yuechuan was about to speak when Qin Xingyue said, "Let them go and have fun. It's rare for them to see each other these days."

It had been a long time since he had seen Yaoyao smile sincerely.

The two of them followed behind not too far away, discussing matters concerning the Nanyuan envoy's visit to the capital in the near future.

Deep in the plum grove, red and white plum blossoms are hidden layer by layer, like smoke, clouds and snow.

Being inside and observing it carefully is completely different from standing in the attic and taking in the panoramic view.

"Look, this plum tree is really beautiful, with a unique shape and abundant flowers. The plum garden manager is very thoughtful."

Qin Lingruo stood on tiptoe, broke off a few short plum branches, pinched them in her hands, trimmed them a little, and inserted them into Xu Xianyue's bun: "Yueyue rarely wears flowers in her bun, this one suits you very well, it's both elegant and beautiful. Right, Yaoyao?"

"Really? Then I'll give you a few too."

"I don't want it. It doesn't match the dress I'm wearing today."

"How can you know if you don't try..."

The three of them were chasing and playing, when Qin Lingruo suddenly stopped and stood still, as if listening attentively.

Xia Xueyao ran to her breathlessly: "Ling'er, what's wrong?"

"Hush, did you hear any noise?"

"Sound?" Xu Xinyue listened carefully and there seemed to be a slight "rustling" sound of wind breaking.

There are many people practicing martial arts in Prince Rong's Mansion, and Qin Yuechuan also practices martial arts and swordplay every day, so this voice is very familiar to him.

Who is practicing martial arts in Merlin?

The slender weapon cut through the biting cold wind, and the sound of the wind tearing became clearer and clearer as the few people went deeper.

A red figure, with her clothes fluttering in the wind and her long black hair simply tied up.

The sword light and the shadows of the trees intertwined, and the tip of the sword drew graceful arcs in the air. The wind moved with the momentum, lifting up large pieces of tiny petals.

Circling and flying around her.

Qin Lingruo was stunned: "He... Yunyin?"

"She also knows this skill?"

Qin Leng, who had been following beside him without saying a word, looked at He Yunyin indifferently.

But what emerged in my mind was another fiery red figure.

It spun and turned quickly, like a gorgeous pomegranate flower blooming in the wind.

He took a deep look at Qin Lingruo beside him, and when he turned to He Yunyin, he said only four words with disdain: "Apparently imitating someone who is not worthy of respect."

Xu Xinyue could understand. Regardless of her martial arts skills, she was beautiful, and as the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it was not bad for her to learn some martial arts.

Look how much effort was put into this move.

Apart from her stance with He Yunyin, Xu Xinyue still admired her in her heart.

At her age now, her muscles and bones are no longer suitable for practicing martial arts. Xu Xinyue admitted that she did not have the perseverance to do so, so she had to start from scratch like her.

Just as he was about to pull Xia Xueyao and Qin Lingruo away quietly, when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of two or three figures walking towards him from another Merlin path.

Probably attracted by the sound.

Xu Xinyue looked into the distance and saw that it was the junction of the men's competition venue.

The sound of people talking gradually approached, and someone exclaimed sourly:

"It really is the red plum blossoms and white snow reflecting the beauty!"

"Whose lady is this? She is so bold and courageous."

"Hush, this is Princess Minlan, the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

"So that's how it is. The daughter of a general was right."

……

Xu Xinyue is not sure what He Yunyin is planning now, and she has no intention of getting involved.

"There's nothing to see here, Ling'er, Yaoyao, let's go."

He Yunyin noticed the commotion here, and when he saw Xu Xinyue, the anger that he had suppressed at the door of the Queen's Palace just now surged up again.

Unconsciously, the moves in his hands also contained some murderous intent.

In order to show off her skills like today, she had prepared for a long time for her sword dance. Although she was not very proficient in other moves, she was already very skilled in this one. Suddenly, she had an idea, so the weapon in her hand accidentally slipped out of her hand...

It's good to scare her.

In a flash, He Yunyin even prepared his subsequent remarks.

Seeing Xu Xinyue and others turning around, He Yunyin aimed at the opportunity and direction.

Just when the dance reached its peak with sword moves, He Yunyin gathered all his strength in his hands, and with a flash of silver light, the sword in his hand flew straight out.
