Chapter 207 Qin Wanying and Xiao Jiye play shuttlecock
Qin Wanying saw the Crown Prince and immediately bowed to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I love all the flowers you planted."
Even the Crown Prince's courtyard doesn't have this many flowers, yet hers does. She can tell that the Crown Prince put a lot of thought into it.
The prince's mood improved considerably upon seeing her.
If Qin Wanying likes it, then all he did was worth it.
"I'm glad you like it. If there's anything else you like, just tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes to satisfy you."
"This humble woman wishes to play shuttlecock. Would Your Highness be willing to play with me?" Qin Wanying smiled sweetly at the Crown Prince.
Most of the day has passed, and the embarrassment from this morning has largely subsided.
Qin Wanying has become quite familiar with Xiao Jiye these days. If Xiao Jiye had asked her what she liked before, she would have only said that she had no other desires.
But now that the two have become familiar with each other, Qin Wanying dares to "overstep her bounds".
Upon hearing this, the crown prince felt flattered and overwhelmed.
It was truly an honor for him to be invited by the beautiful woman to play shuttlecock.
The Crown Prince smiled gently and said, "It is my greatest honor."
The two changed into short-sleeved outfits.
This was the first time Qin Wanying had seen the Crown Prince dressed like this.
He was dressed all in black, wearing a short top and pants.
The clothes are form-fitting and accentuate the figure, highlighting broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, perfectly outlining the man's muscular physique.
The outline of muscles was faintly visible beneath the clothes.
Qin Wanying couldn't help but recall the scene she had witnessed in the bathhouse...
Damn it, why can't I get rid of it!
Qin Wanying patted her face, trying to clear her head.
A servant brought over a shuttlecock.
The Crown Prince kicked first, and his kick was very steady. The shuttlecock was passed to Qin Wanying at a very standard angle.
After Qin Wanying transmigrated, she practiced martial arts and would occasionally play shuttlecock. With a light lift of her foot, she could send the shuttlecock flying back.
The Crown Prince was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected Qin Wanying to kick so well.
Under the sunlight, the girl wore a blue top and had bright, smiling eyes; her figure was light and agile.
Qin Wanying can kick the shuttlecock from different angles, and each kick is very steady.
Every movement she made during exercise made her appear graceful and agile, and the usually gentle woman seemed lively and radiant at that moment.
Xiao Jiye was so engrossed in watching that he missed the shuttlecock that flew towards him, and it passed right by him.
Qin Wanying jumped up happily: "Great! I won!"
The crown prince smiled.
Does winning make you this happy?
Then I must lose a few more times.
The next time, Xiao Jiye lost again.
He pretended to be heartbroken and said he would come again.
Qin Wanying knew that the Crown Prince had a good temper and wouldn't be angry with him even if she lost.
Later, the two changed their strategy to each kick once, and the winner was the one who kicked more times.
Qin Wanying kicked first, and kicked fifty-one times.
When it was Xiao Jiye's turn, he kicked forty-eight times.
Qin Wanying felt that it wouldn't be right to invite people to play and not let them win even once.
So in the next round, they kicked forty-two.
Xiao Jiye kicked thirty-seven times.
Feiyu, standing next to him, stared wide-eyed.
When he kicked the Crown Prince before, the Crown Prince kicked him three hundred times in a row.
At that time, he originally planned to play with the Crown Prince, but he wanted to be considerate of the Crown Prince and not play too much, so as to make the Crown Prince happy.
As a result, let alone giving way to the crown prince, he couldn't even kick a hundred of them, which disappointed the crown prince.
Later, he practiced diligently through the night and finally managed to kick more than a hundred times without touching the ground, which was barely good enough to play with the Crown Prince.
But now, His Highness broke after only a few dozen kicks.
This is such an obvious attempt to deflect blame!
To avoid putting pressure on Qin Wanying, Xiao Jiye would occasionally win a game.
Both of them were drenched in sweat after the game.
Qin Wanying felt very happy playing with the Crown Prince.
Although Xiao Jiye was the crown prince, he had no airs at all. Being with him was like a gentle breeze, making one feel very comfortable.
The two were tired and went back to their respective rooms.
Xiao Jiye sat in a chair to cool off.
His eyes were fixed on a point not far away, but he was lost in thought.
He carefully savored every moment he had spent with Qin Wanying that day.
Recalling how she looked at him, laughing and jumping, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Feiyu, standing nearby, didn't dare to breathe.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen His Highness both lost in thought and smiling.
When did it start?
It seems to have started from the moment His Highness first saw Miss Qin.
It seems His Highness really likes Miss Qin.
Fei Yu could only pray silently in his heart that His Highness would marry Miss Qin soon and that the two of them would have a son.
-----------------
Qin Yonghua went to the palace to see the emperor.
He reported to the Emperor about his business dealings in the Kingdom of Ke.
He had a large business in the Kingdom of Ke, and the King of Ke had a good relationship with him. The King had expressed his hope that the two countries would further develop cooperation.
The emperor was overjoyed and immediately dispatched an envoy from the Court of State Ceremonies to the Kingdom of Ke.
Fortunately, Zhao Sheng was eliminated beforehand; otherwise, with the Court of State Ceremonial in charge and the Empress Dowager in charge, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries would inevitably have been fraught with difficulties.
-----------------
Wu Hanxiang returned to her parents' home three days after her wedding.
Qin Yonghua prepared a large number of gifts and took them to his father-in-law's house, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were all smiles.
The Duke of Wei was increasingly pleased with his son-in-law.
He knew that his son-in-law was doing very well in business in the Kingdom of Ke and had even facilitated diplomatic relations between the two countries. His Majesty and the King of Ke greatly appreciated him and felt even more that his daughter had married the right person.
Seeing how Qin Yonghua interacts with his daughter, I felt that he was a smooth person who could coax and indulge his daughter, which made me even more satisfied.
Just then, Wu Hanxiang's aunt arrived.
Wu Hanxiang's expression changed.
My aunt was dressed in red and green, and greeted everyone when she came in.
Afterwards, his aunt and Madam Wu went to another room to talk. Qin Yonghua felt that it was inappropriate for him to interfere too much in his wife's family affairs, at least not on the surface, so he went to play chess with his father-in-law.
Wu Hanxiang did not greet her aunt with her mother, fearing that her aunt would be uncomfortable speaking when she was present, and also wanting to hear how her aunt was trying to sow discord between her mother and father.
I hid behind the screen, wanting to hear what my aunt had to say.
My aunt and mother, though born of the same mother, look completely different.
My mother was born with a dignified and beautiful appearance, but my aunt could be described as ugly.
Although my mother was several years older than my aunt, she looked younger.
My mother has a better sense of style when it comes to clothes, while my aunt's clothes are incredibly vulgar.
My aunt didn't marry well either; her husband was a troublesome man and not as capable as my father.
No wonder he was jealous of his mother.
Unfortunately, my mother was simple-minded, easily influenced, and prone to overthinking.
Wu Hanxiang secretly resolved to keep her aunt away from her mother.
My mother and aunt were already seated, and the two of them were drinking tea together.
The maids were also sent away to do chores, leaving only the mother and aunt in the room. The aunt was unaware that Wu Hanxiang was hiding behind the screen.
