Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "No...she has already left~"
"What? I left. Is there something wrong with you?"
"That's not true. Madam had something to do, so she didn't come with her. She is safe now and has a baby in her belly~"
"Well, congratulations on becoming a father~"
...
Under the wall outside the house, Li Qinghan heard the conversation between the two of them and was secretly happy: Shuangxue is already pregnant. Well, that's great.
Inside the house, Gu Qing'er continued to ask: "Is she safe? Does that mean she is not here or in Blackwater City?"
"Well, my wife and I are outsiders. Before we came here, we had an agreement with my wife's family. As long as my wife and I give birth to a boy, we must unconditionally adopt the boy to my wife's family, train him, and let him do what he wants in the future.
The head of the family."
"Huh? You actually have such an agreement, okay, I understand, then what is your identity when you come back this time?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "The consort Prince Consort, well, is Princess Ting's future husband!"
With a "bang" sound, the spoon Gu Qing'er just picked up fell to the ground.
"What did you say? Are you Princess Ting's future husband?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Yes, my current identity is the heir apparent of Shanhe of Heiqing Kingdom, and I am also the future husband of Princess Ting you mentioned~"
Gu Qing'er narrowed her eyes and looked at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "I always feel that you are unfathomable~ Tell me, why did you come to me?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I made an agreement with your sister to help her. Now that I'm back again, I want to fulfill my promise to her because she helped me before."
Gu Qing'er nodded and said: "You are very trustworthy. I am happy for my sister, but my sister has been away and has not come back. I don't know what happened, and I haven't been in contact with her for a while."
"Ah? What should I do? If your sister doesn't come back, I want to repay her kindness, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Gu Qing'er thought for a while and said: "It's rare that you have such a heart. Let's put this matter aside for now. Since you are back and have become the consort of the United Nations, then naturally we sisters have other things to ask for."
You~"
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Gu Qing'er: "As long as you don't kill people, set fires, and harm others, I should be able to promise you~"
Gu Qing'er chuckled: "What do you think of us? We are not murderers, but it is inconvenient for me to live here now, so I plan to live with you~"
"Ah? Live with me? Don't I remember that you have a sweetheart?"
Gu Qing'er blushed: "Don't worry about me, I'll live with you. In fact, I can see Princess Ting again. I haven't seen her for a long time since I last saw her~"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "You all say Princess Ting, Princess Ting. What kind of person is this Princess Ting?"
Gu Qing'er smiled slightly: "Okay, eat quickly, the food is cold~"
Gu Qing'er didn't want to say more, and Ma Xiaoquan naturally didn't want to ask any more questions. Anyway, he would meet Princess Ting one day.
...
After dinner, Gu Qing'er prepared some soft food, not much, just a baggage.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the things in the room and said, "When you leave, don't you want anything here anymore?"
"Of course I want it. Lock my door and leave a letter. If my sister comes back, she will know~"
"Okay~ Let's go then~ Come, let me help you get your baggage~"
Gu Qing'er smiled and said: "Didn't you just say that you were pretending to be a soldier and came out to cut firewood? If there is no firewood, how can you go back to deliver your work? There is firewood in my woodshed, just grab some~"
"Yes~" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his hands and nodded.
...
Outside the room, Li Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although she didn't know what kind of friendship Ma Xiaoquan and Gu Qing'er had, she could tell from the tone of their conversation just now that they had a good relationship, especially Gu Qing'er.
When he asked to stay in Ma Xiaoquan's other courtyard, Ma Xiaoquan did not refuse and readily agreed.
"This guy just doesn't refuse people~" Li Qinghan sighed in his heart, turned around and left quietly.
When Ma Xiaoquan walked to the gate of the Floating City with a bundle of firewood on his back, the guard guarding the gate looked at the firewood he was carrying and said with a smile: "Hey, you are quite capable. You can cut such a blunt hatchet."
So much firewood~”
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes at the guard and said: "If I have to use the hatchet I bought from you to chop wood, I'm afraid I won't be able to chop so much in one day. I bought it from a woodcutter outside~
"
When the guard heard this, he said: "You are quite smart, how much does it cost?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Two iron beads~"
"Well, that's the price of firewood. Okay, let's go in~" the guard laughed, patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder, and then said, "You need to wash your face, your face is so dirty~"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and walked into the floating city. Gu Qing'er, who was a few meters behind him, pursed her lips and snickered.
After turning a few corners, Ma Xiaoquan put down the firewood, and Gu Qing'er had already followed, and there was no one around.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Gu Qing'er, she was still smiling.
"Is it that funny?"
It was okay if I didn't say it, but when I did, Gu Qing'er couldn't help it anymore, covered her mouth and squatted down, her flowers trembling wildly.
"Okay, okay, I've convinced you~ Just laugh, laugh~"
After a while, Gu Qing'er calmed down. She stood up and said, "Where is your home? I'll go first~"
"Go, how do you get in?"
Gu Qing'er smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about it~"
Ma Xiaoquan pointed to the road next to him and said: "Go out of this road and turn left at the end~"
"Okay~ I'll see you at home then~"
"Uh~Okay~~"
...
Ma Xiaoquan carried firewood back to the garrison point. After putting down the firewood, he sneaked back into the soldier tent that Zhang Youcai had prepared for him.
After changing his clothes, washed his face, put the human skin mask back on, and looked in the bronze mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong, Ma Xiaoquan walked out of the tent.
It was still early in the morning, and Zhang Youcai was busy supervising the work. After Ma Xiaoquan walked around twice without any interest, he decided to go for a stroll on the street.
Compared with Blackwater City, the Floating City is much inferior in terms of prosperity and population density. Some places can be said to be very poor, but even so, there are still many merchants and hawkers on the main street of the Floating City, and even
They are tourists from surrounding countries.
In a rouge shop, a woman in a white shirt was holding a box of the most expensive rouge and smelling it carefully. Beside her stood two maids in gorgeous clothes.
The shop owner stepped forward, rubbed his hands and said: "Oh, princess, this is the best rouge in our shop. Princess, it's rare for you to come out once. I'll give the small one to the princess. If the princess wants anything else, it's free of charge.
I can give it all~”
The woman in the white shirt smiled slightly: "How is this possible? Your rouge is the best in the floating city. I have been buying it for seventy or eighty years. After all, which generation are you the owner of the rouge shop?"
The shop owner said respectfully: "To tell you what the princess said, I am the fourth generation shopkeeper. When I was little, the princess even hugged me~"
"Well, things have gotten so big in a blink of an eye. Okay, I can't justify not giving you money. Otherwise, just give me the cost price and I'll take advantage of you."
The shop owner nodded repeatedly: "Princess, how can you take advantage? It should be, it should be. The little one will go and prepare it for the princess now. The princess will see if there is anything else she wants, and the little one will prepare it together~"
"Okay, go get busy~"
After the shop owner left, a maid came forward and said respectfully: "Princess, it's rare for you to come out today, why don't you go shopping a few more times?"
Another maid said: "Anyway, many people have never seen the princess, nor do they know her. The shop owner has sharp eyes and a steady mouth, and he knows how to clear the place~"
The woman in white shirt shook her head: "You two, you are really ghosts. Okay, there is a clothing store next to it. After buying the rouge, go to the clothing store and have a look. Well, it is rare for you to come out with me and choose something.
If you like it, take it and I’ll give it to you~”
"Ah, thank you so much princess, princess is so kind~"
The woman in white shirt shook her head again: "Speaking of which, your great-grandmothers have all served me. You two are also the fourth generation, right?"
A maid shook her head and smiled: "Princess, we are the fifth generation, hehe~"
"Oh, hehe, look at my memory, okay~ you guys go and pick something~ I'll take another look~"
"Yes~~"
The woman in white shirt picked up an exquisite eyebrow trimming knife and looked at it carefully. At this moment, a man in rich clothes walked into the Rouge store. The woman in white shirt raised her head and glanced at the man. The man also glanced at her, and then they moved away.
sight.
The shop owner stepped forward and wanted to clear the place, but the woman in white shirt gave him a wink, indicating that he didn't need to do that deliberately, because few people knew about me anyway.
The shopkeeper understood, nodded, smiled and stepped forward, and said politely: "This young master, judging from your appearance, this must be your first time here. The shop is not big, but it is one of the best rouge shops in this floating city."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said with a smile: "Boss, you are quite polite. I just visited other stores and they all said they were the best in the floating city. But boss, you said your store is one of the best. Well, you
He is very good at doing business..."
The shop owner chuckled: "Only women come to the rouge shop, and there are very few men. Judging from the attire of the young master, he must be from the country of black and blue, right?"
"Hey, your guess is quite accurate~ That's right, I'm from the Black and Green Country~"
Hearing that he was from the Heiqing Kingdom, the woman in white clothes thought of the prince-in-law she was about to see. She couldn't help but stepped forward curiously and interjected: "Is the young master from the Heiqing Kingdom?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and looked at the woman in white shirt. She was very beautiful, not stunning, but full of temperament.
"The girl is..."
The woman in white shirt smiled: "Young master, you can call me Ting'er."
Ma Xiaoquan cupped his hands and smiled: "I've met Miss Ting'er in Wanshanhe~"
"Wan Shanhe?" The woman in white shirt was stunned and asked, "I heard that a consort came from the Heiqing Kingdom, named Wan Shanhe. Isn't he the young master?"
