Chapter 51 His gaze swept back and forth over Qin Jiuwei.
Qin Jiuwei placed her hand on his chest and, sure enough, felt the hard chainmail.
I felt instantly relieved.
It's fine once you put it on.
She knew that Xie Yanli didn't believe her now.
Because at this time, the King of Qi did not show any signs of rebellion and was always a leisurely and indifferent prince.
But after today, Xie Yanli will know... that the King of Qi is the one with the most treacherous ambitions.
Xie Yanli lowered his eyes and looked at his chest, where Qin Jiuwei's small hand was resting.
He was wearing a bamboo green outer robe today, and Qin Jiuwei's hands, which were already fair and delicate, looked even more fair and smooth against this color.
Qin Jiuwei couldn't feel anything through the chainmail.
Xie Yanli still vaguely felt the touch, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.
However, Qin Jiuwei quickly moved her hand away after touching the chainmail.
At this moment, Xie Jingchun also came over with Xie Jue.
Xie Jing Academy has early morning classes, so he left the mansion early in the morning by carriage.
Xie Jue was still lingering and hadn't gone to class in the front yard.
Upon seeing Qin Jiuwei, he immediately jogged over to her.
"Good morning, Mother!" Xie Jue raised her little face and said in a childish voice.
Qin Jiu smiled and pinched his cheek. "Good morning."
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and Qin Jiuwei felt a chill. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.
"Mother, are you alright?" Xie Jingchun asked immediately.
Xie Jue, her little face also streaked with tears, asked, "Mother, are you sick?"
Qin Jiuwei shook her head. "It's nothing, it was just a bit chilly in the wind, it's fine."
Xie Yanli glanced at Qin Jiuwei with deep eyes. Seeing that she looked normal and did not seem to be sick, he turned and ordered, "Go and get a cloak for the young mistress."
Qin Jiuwei glanced at him upon hearing this, surprised that Xie Yanli would care about her.
Xiao He quickly went into the house and brought a cloak for Qin Jiuwei to put on.
Qin Jiuwei adjusted her cloak, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was already high in the sky.
She said calmly, "It's getting late, let's head to Prince Qi's residence."
At this moment, Xie Jue really wanted to cry.
Why is he the only one who has to go to school?! Waaaaah...
He stepped forward and hugged Qin Jiuwei's leg, rubbing against her like a puppy.
"Mom~ I want to go too, please take me with you~"
Qin Jiuwei reached out and ruffled his little head. "Good boy, there are just too many people at the poetry gathering. How about Mother takes you to Jufulou tomorrow?"
Okay! I had no choice but to reluctantly agree!
Xie Jue extended her little finger, tilted her head, and said, "Then let's pinky swear, Mother can't go back on her word!"
Qin Jiu chuckled and extended her little finger as well.
-
The Marquis's carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Prince Qi's mansion.
It is said that Prince Xie will bring his newlywed wife to the Qi King's poetry gathering. Everyone is eagerly anticipating seeing the true face of this princess.
As soon as Qin Jiuwei stepped off the carriage, countless eyes fell on her.
Today she wore a brocade dress in a deep blue color, with exquisite intertwined floral patterns embroidered on the skirt.
A magnificent gold hairpin adorned her hair, with a delicate gold flower at the top and a ruby set in the center.
The intense color of the ruby accentuated her fair complexion, her captivating eyes sparkled, and her features were delicate and charming. A small black mole at the corner of her right eye added to her allure.
At first, everyone was attracted by her beauty and couldn't help but admire her secretly.
But in an instant, that envy was mixed with a strange look, and jealousy and resentment were faintly born.
No matter how beautiful she is, she is still just a concubine's daughter. How could she be worthy of such a talented and outstanding young master Xie?
Someone was whispering nearby, their eyes scanning Qin Jiuwei up and down, as if trying to figure her out.
The voice wasn't loud, but the words still faintly reached Qin Jiuwei's ears.
"For someone of her status to marry Prince Xie, she's incredibly lucky!"
"I don't know what Madam Xie was thinking, choosing such a granddaughter-in-law! How could she possibly be worthy of her?"
Qin Jiuwei remained unmoved upon hearing this.
She lowered her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, her expression calm and composed.
It was just a few idle words; she had heard far worse things in the palace in her previous life.
These are really nothing.
Soon, Xie Yanli and Xie Jingchun also got off the carriage and stood on either side of Qin Jiuwei.
Xie Yanli was extremely tall, his handsome face was expressionless, and his narrow phoenix eyes revealed a sharp edge.
As the gaze swept across, an almost tangible pressure followed, as if an invisible hand had gripped one's mind tightly.
Although Xie Jingchun was young, he stood tall and straight like a pine tree, possessing a heroic and upright spirit.
The two people stood beside Qin Jiuwei without saying a word, and everyone immediately fell silent.
They only dared to point and whisper at Qin Jiuwei.
They dared not provoke Xie Shizi and his highly skilled adopted son.
Moreover, they seemed to be very protective of Qin Jiuwei.
Thinking this, everyone twisted their handkerchiefs even more tightly.
This woman is so lucky!
"Yanli, you've arrived!" A deep, cheerful male voice rang out.
The King of Qi, dressed in a brocade robe, strode toward them.
King Qi was thirty-five years old this year. He had a refined appearance and seemed very approachable.
His eyes were fixed on Xie Yanli, a cold glint flashing deep within them.
Behind him followed Gao Shuyu, dressed in fine clothes. Upon seeing Xie Yanli, her cheeks immediately flushed red.
Qin Jiuwei watched from the side and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
This father and daughter are really interesting.
The father wanted to kill Xie Yanli, and the daughter wanted to sleep with Xie Yanli.
