After hearing such 'good news', I lost all my mood for shopping.
Shiqing and Jiazi were walking on the street, listening to the gossip of the people on the street. In ancient times, there was no television, so this was the only way to know what was going on in the world.
"Did you hear that the princess finally found her consort?"
A boy dressed in a beggar's outfit held a broken bowl and whispered to a few little beggars next to him, with a beaming expression as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
This princess of the snow country is a famous old aunt.
It is said that she dresses like a man all day long, and she is already in her twenties, but no man is willing to marry her.
Shi Qing just smiled. In modern times, those in their 30s who cannot get married are called saints, okay?
She shook her head, but the beggar continued to talk magically and took out a portrait from his arms.
"Let me tell you, I heard that the princess fell in love with the enemy's general and was captured. But the man probably hated the princess so much that he ran away."
The other beggars all snickered when they heard this, and one of them even overestimated his abilities and said, "It is said that the princess is more beautiful than she is. If you give it to me, I will consider it."
"..."
Shiqing was speechless and didn't want to hear any more, but when her eyes glanced at the portrait, she was immediately stunned.
Isn’t that portrait of Qing Ran?
Before Shiqing could see clearly, gongs and drums were suddenly beaten on the road, and Jiazi hurriedly protected Shiqing.
A group of officers and soldiers were so aggressive that they posted a banner and continued to walk away in a swagger.
"Go and see what's written on the imperial list?" Shi Qing originally didn't care about the affairs of the Snow Country. She just wanted to run her Feng Liuyuan well, not lose money, and make a little money for living expenses.
However, I always felt that something was not right about this.
Jiazi nodded, and because of his very strong skills and small and exquisite appearance, he squeezed out of the crowd in a short while.
"Madam, it's not good, it's not good, it's... it's the prince. The prince-in-law is the prince..."
Jiazi gasped and looked at Shiqing, unable to speak a complete sentence.
"Let's go back and ask the prince before we talk!"
Fengliuyuan back hall
Cai'er and Qing Ran had a snowball fight and found that Shi Qing and Jiazi Ren were missing, so they simply went back to the house and sat down.
At this time, Shi Qing had come back in a hurry, entered Fengliu Courtyard, and went directly to find Qing Ran.
"Brother Qingran."
In the room, Cai'er was serving tea to Qing Ran. It was obvious that Cai'er cared about him in every move he made.
Hearing Shi Qing's call, Qing Ran turned around suddenly with a smile on his face.
Cai'er hurriedly backed out, holding the teapot in her hand, but her eyes were complicated.
"Brother Qingran is recovering from his injury. What are your plans?"
When asked this question, Qing Ran suddenly froze and looked at Shi Qing with his narrow eyes. He had never thought about recovering from his injuries, or he had planned to live like this forever.
Seeing Qing Ran's silence, Shi Qing immediately asked, "Should I go back to be your prince or stay here?"
"Me." Qing Ran raised his head and suddenly lowered his head. He felt his heart beating so fast that he didn't know how to answer.
"Since the emperor thinks I'm dead, he naturally doesn't want to go back."
Qing Ran's voice was as thin as a mosquito. Don't start looking outside, trying to relieve your tension and confusion.
"That's good." After hearing Qing Ran's words, Shi Qing smiled lightly and suddenly stood up.
"There is a royal list posted outside. The eldest princess of the Snow Kingdom has named you to be her consort. Xue'er doesn't know what happened to you. Since you tried every means to escape, you definitely don't like her. But in order to dispel the princess's thoughts, you won't let her go.
How about taking Cai'er in so that the princess won't be willing to be a concubine?"
