Chapter 538 Xiao Tianyue's Idea
Qin Hao felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he saw this. He took a few steps forward, gently took Xiao Tianyue's hand, and hugged her into his arms, kissing her gently. His eyes were full of doting and tenderness, and he couldn't help but teasing, "Whose vinegar bottle was knocked over? It smells so sour!"
"Oh, you're so annoying!"
Xiao Tianyue slightly opened her red lips, her eyes like autumn water flashing with shyness and anger. She lightly tapped with her fingertips, and her delicate jade hands gently fell on Qin Hao's solid chest.
Then, she withdrew her gaze as if she had received an electric shock, a blush instantly appeared on her cheeks, and she said softly: "My uncle and brother are still here, how can Your Majesty completely disregard etiquette and tease them like this? You are the king of a country!"
Qin Hao gently touched the tip of his nose, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said meaningfully: "Even if you are the king of a country, how can you transcend the mundane world? Love between men and women is human nature, and the emperor also has seven emotions and six desires!"
“Uncle, big brother, look at our emperor. Where is the dignity of a king? Can you really bear to marry Tianyue to such a... casual person?” Xiao Tianyue blinked her lively big eyes, and her playful words carried a hint of coquettishness.
Xiao Wuliang looked at Xiao Tianyue, who was gentle and smiling in front of him, and a hint of doting flashed in his eyes.
Then, he pretended to be serious and teased, "Oh, you just remembered your uncle and your elder brother now? It's too late! Your elder brother has even given your dowry to His Majesty. If you don't marry His Majesty, your elder brother will be at a great loss."
"That's right, Tianyue, for your brother's generous dowry, you should fulfill His Majesty's wish!" Xiao Tianyang echoed with a teasing smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Tianyue's cheeks were as bright as the sunset, almost red as if tears were flowing out. She opened her red lips slightly and snorted with a hint of pouting: "Hmph, what dowry? You guys are so good at making fun of me and ganging up on me. I'm going to ignore you and go take care of Wuying."
After saying this, she stamped her feet lightly, lifted the hem of her skirt, tapped the ground with her toes, and turned around lightly as if she was walking on clouds, leaving only a string of silver bell-like laughter echoing in the air.
Looking at Xiao Tianyue's graceful figure walking away, Xiao Tianyang raised a playful smile and said softly, "Your Majesty, in this situation, is there anything you want to tell me and your nephew in detail?"
Qin Hao immediately understood what the other party meant. He chuckled and said calmly, "My dear ministers, I will be back soon."
After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly in the direction where Xiao Tianyue left, as if chasing the wind and the moon.
Soon, the two walked side by side and came to a quiet and elegant courtyard.
Before she even entered the door, a shout of anger and resentment could be heard clearly through the door: "Qin Hao, you are such a heartless man. I hate you. I don't want to see you again in my life..."
When Qin Hao heard the angry curse, his body involuntarily froze outside the threshold, as if bound by invisible shackles, and he dared not take another step forward.
Xiao Tianyue took light steps and moved a little closer, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
She covered her lips with her sleeves and chuckled softly. The sound was clear and pleasant, but it was also a bit teasing. "Your Majesty, what did you do to Wuying that made her avoid you so much that she even harbored such deep resentment towards you?"
Qin Hao stroked the tip of his nose lightly, with a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in his action. He frowned and said, "I didn't do anything to her. I just kissed her on the mouth. Is it necessary to do this?"
Xiao Tianyue heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned to relief. She sighed softly and said meaningfully: "You still call this not doing anything?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know that you can't kiss a girl's mouth casually? Even her hands can't be touched casually. I'm afraid your kiss will stir up a thousand waves in Wuying's heart. No wonder she hates you so much."
Qin Hao pretended to be ignorant, his brows twisted into a cloud of worry, and sighed softly: "Tianyue, I never expected that people in the martial arts world like Wuying, who are so free and unrestrained, would also stick to worldly etiquette."
"Forget it. I won't go to see her today. I'll come back another day. Otherwise, she'll chase me out and make me miserable."
Seeing this, Xiao Tianyue's eyes flashed, and she quickly grasped Qin Hao's strong arms, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone: "Your Majesty, how can you let me bear this blame alone?"
"You don't know, when I found her, she was already drunk and unconscious. In this situation, how could you just stand by and watch?"
"I can tell you that you have already done something bad. If you still want to withdraw now, it is probably too late."
After she finished speaking, her eyes flashed with a light that could not be refused, which made Qin Hao's expression of astonishment even more helpless and funny.
"What bad things have I done? Wait, Tianyue, did you say Wuying drank a lot of alcohol?" he asked quickly.
Xiao Tianyue nodded gently and opened her red lips slightly. There was a subtle hint of deep meaning in her tone. She leaned close to Qin Hao's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, this may be a godsend opportunity for you..."
Qin Hao immediately interrupted her and said seriously, "Although I am not a person who sticks to ancient etiquette, I will never do such things as taking advantage of drunkenness to bully and humiliate innocent people. Such behavior is not what a gentleman does, and it is not the way of an emperor."
Xiao Tianyue's cheeks flushed when she heard this. She said in a joking tone, "What are you thinking about, Your Majesty? You are really crossing the line with your thoughts!"
"Wuying and I are like sisters. How could I let you take advantage of the situation? It seems that there are some unruly ripples in your Majesty's heart from time to time."
Qin Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly when she said what he was thinking. He gently stroked his nose with his finger, smiling with a bit of doting in his embarrassment: "Hey, Tianyue, you are so sharp-tongued. I am so abrupt."
"However, I am a little confused by what you just said. Can you explain it in detail?"
Xiao Tianyue snorted lightly, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he turned around pretending to be indifferent and walked straight into the depths of the courtyard.
Seeing this, a hint of tenderness and helplessness flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he quickly quickened his pace to catch up.
The two figures lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun, interweaving into a warm and slightly interesting picture.
A moment later, the two came to the room where Ping Wuying was.
Xiao Tianyue pointed at Ping Wuying on the bed, his eyes fell gently on her soft body, and then he said to Qin Hao in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, Wuying will be handed over to your care for the time being."
"I will immediately ask the servants to prepare a bowl of hangover soup. When it is warm enough, you can feed it to her yourself."
"When she wakes up and sees your majesty's deep affection, the displeasure in her heart may melt away quietly in your tenderness, and it is possible that they will reconcile again."
"Will this... method really work?" Qin Hao asked weakly, feeling nervous, expectant but also a little uncertain.
