"Princess Ming Xia grew up at the border and knows very little about our etiquette and culture. Even if you and Your Highness King Mo are engaged, you shouldn't be making such a fuss on the streets. If you make a man lose face, you lose face as well. "
A voice as warm as jade came out from the side. Du Jinse and Li Hao looked at each other.
"It's the Prince Rong." Li Hao reached out to support Du Jinse, and after tidying her up for her, he jumped down from the carriage and helped Du Jinse out.
"What a coincidence." Li Hao nodded towards Prince Rong.
The Prince Rong also nodded at him.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Rong and Princess Ming Xia."
Today's situation was different from that day's. Furthermore, Du Jinse was still sick, so her every move had become a bit less of an escape, and a bit more elegant.
Prince Rong looked at the profoundness in Du Jinse's eyes. This Du Jinse was the Du Jinse he truly valued in his heart.
Li Hao looked at Prince Rong and suddenly said, "Your Highness, Mo Mo has just recovered from a serious illness and can't stand for long.
As he said that, he carried her in his arms and with a cry of alarm, Du Jinse was lifted up by him.
Li Hao's icy cold lips lightly touched Du Jinse's equally ice-cold forehead.
"Take a rest."
After he finished speaking, he avoided Du Jinse's gaze which was looking at him, and put down the palanquin curtain.
Du Jinse lightly leaned on the wall. The reason why Li Hao asked this today, was because he had already set up a marriage with Ming Xia?
Turning around to face Princess Ming Xia, King Mo's expression was cold.
"Does Princess Ming Xia really not understand my Central Plains etiquette, or is she pretending not to understand? As a girl, don't you have any sense of shame?"
Ming Xia was so angry that her cheeks flushed red, "I don't have any shame, but her, on the main street, is giving me a hug."
Li Hao looked at Ming Xia with contempt, "She is royal father herself, and we are embracing in our palanquins, it is also honorable. On the other hand, Princess Ming Xia actually has this kind of interest in peeping, I do not dare to compliment her."
Du Jinse couldn't help but chuckle as she quickly covered her mouth.
It was already too late, the Princess had sharp ears, she had already heard it, and shouted: "All of you are bullying people."
Looking around, the King Mo Prince Rong could not be her punching bag, and the servants still could not vent their hatred on her. Ming Xia's figure flashed, she immediately arrived in front of the carriage, pulled away the palanquin curtain, and pulled Du Jinse out.
"Miss." Xiao Ying hurriedly stood in front of Du Jinse to protect him.
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao helplessly.
"I'm sorry Princess, I didn't do it on purpose." Now that she had just recovered from her severe illness, her body was no longer as agile as it was in the past. She had to be more obedient.
"Tell me, what were you laughing about?" Princess pointed at Du Jinse's face and arrogantly asked.
Du Jinse glanced at Li Hao, and her attitude became more respectful and obedient, "The Prince just told a joke to this little girl, and the more I think about it, the more interesting this little girl will be, so I can't help but laugh."
It was indeed a joke, for a peeping Tom like King Mo was good.
Ming Xia scoffed, "You are clearly laughing at this Princess."
Du Jinse cursed, I was just laughing at you, I didn't deny it.
"Alright, how are you going to act in such a public place?" Even the Prince Rong could not stand watching this.
Ming Xia opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.
King Mo cupped his hands towards Prince Rong.
"Your Highness Prince Rong, I will trouble you with the things here. Mo Mo's body is weak, I will bring her back to the house first."
As he said that, Li Hao walked in front of Du Jinse and looked down to see her. He picked her up, and didn't even let her go, and signaled Xiao Ying to open the curtain, then directly carried Du Jinse in.
Xiao Ying purposely paused for a moment, letting Ming Xia see clearly how King Mo doted on Du Jinse, before he slowly put down his palanquin curtain and took a step back, retreating to the side of the sedan.
still wanted to continue arguing with him, but when her arm was grabbed, she turned around, only to see Prince Rong looking at her with sympathy, "Ming Xia, why are you asking for humiliation?"
Ming Xia's heart ached as tears welled up in her eyes, "What do you know?"
Ming Xia shook off the Prince Rong, glanced at the carriage, and sadly left.
Prince Rong was startled and could not help but take two steps forward.
"Princess Ming Xia, I'll send you back."
Ming Xia forced a smile.
"Isn't the Central Plains a nation of etiquette? Men and women must always avoid suspicion. "
The Prince Rong was startled, why did it seem like Princess was a completely different person.
Seeing Ming Xia's lonely figure, Prince Rong could not help but follow him.
"Princess, it's getting late. It's better for us to return earlier."
Ming Xia stood still, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She suddenly turned her head, wanting to ask Prince Rong a few questions, but who knew that after Prince Rong said those words, he actually did not follow and just left, walked away, fell, fell.
Only Ming Xia was left in a mess in the wind.
How could he persuade others like that, he was advised to leave without saying a word, the persuasion left him without a trace, was stunned.
"Mo Mo, what she said was not empty talk." After walking for a long distance, Li Hao finally broke the silence.
Du Jinse looked up at him, "So that's why you asked?"
Li Hao let out a light sigh, "Sometimes I really would rather you be stupid."
Du Jinse was a little sentimental, "Yeah, women are actually better off being stupid, it's really hard to be confused."
Li Hao extended his hand and grabbed Du Jinse's hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely not agree to this marriage."
Even if he married his first wife, he wanted to be a virtuous woman. At the very least, he would never take someone as arrogant and despotic as Du Jinse, who could tolerate him.
Du Jinse looked at the determined Li Hao, unable to bear to see through him.
If not for certain, even someone as reckless as Princess Ming Xia would yell out on the streets. After all, when the time came to reject the marriage, it would be her own face that would be thrown away.
Why did this day come so quickly?
Du Jinse looked at Li Hao's face in a daze. In order to make this day a bit later, she tried her best to pave the way for him. She had only been sick for a few days, was this matter about to come to an end?
"Don't look at me like that." Li Hao was so flustered that he looked at him, as he covered her eyes with his hands.
Du Jinse sighed.
"If you don't tell me to look, I won't be optimistic. I'm going to close my eyes."
Saying that, Du Jinse closed her eyes, her long eyelashes like a small brush, gently brushing against his palm.
Li Hao slowly moved his hand away. Seeing that Du Jinse's eyes were really closed, sadness filled his heart.
As a prince who had lost the protection of his imperial concubine since he was young, he was even more mature than other princes. He understood earlier that only by getting close to the emperor and attracting the attention of the emperor would he be protected.
