Young man, please stay

Chapter 266: Lord Ben Lei in a Bad Mood

(The previous chapter is missing, so I am re-correcting: the personal maid of the princess should be Tao'er, and the one beside the empress is Xing'er. The two were reversed from a previous chapter. It was corrected later, but the previous chapters have been locked and cannot be modified, so I am noting it in this chapter)
(There is also the stupid Sogou input method, which can never remember my input habits. I guess 10,000 “杏儿” were typed as “心儿”)
----------------

The next day, the maids in the princess's mansion were all chattering about an incredible event.

"No way! No way!?"

"How could it be false? I have confirmed it with Sister Taoer!"

"So Sister Taoer has always known Brother Qin's true identity?"

"Nonsense, this was Madam's idea in the first place!"

“This…ah…”

……

Obviously, the princess's mansion lost a servant and gained a future prince consort. This made all the maids in the mansion today like birds with their nests blown up. They were discussing this "big event" at any time and in any place.

……

"Alas, my little brother Qin...it turns out that everything is just a passing reflection in the water..."

"Go! Wake up, what do you mean by yours? Actually, when you think about it, it's a little unbelievable that a man like Brother Xiao Qin is just a servant."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Are you going to kill yourself? Why are you still calling him Brother Qin? He's our future son-in-law! He's our future husband!"

"Tsk, Prince Consort... We are both maids, and Sister Taoer will be able to marry him and become his concubine..."

"Ah, Sister Tao'er is so pregnant..."

"Okay, okay, stop complaining. In fact, ordinary maids may not have no chance. Think about Li Jiao'e before, right?"

……

It can be predicted that in the next few days, most of the after-dinner conversations in the Princess's Mansion will be about "The stories that must be told about Qin Lang and his wife."

And that morning, Qin Lang and Su Yinping were indeed experiencing a new story in the martial arts arena.

……

Keng——

Clang——

The sound of metal clashing was constant, occasionally accompanied by the murmurs of a man and a woman talking.

In the past, the princess never made such noises when practicing sword skills.

But this morning, besides herself, Qin Lang was also there.

"That's amazing. I didn't expect that you, Yinping, could now easily draw your sword and cut through the fog."

"Tsk, it's just an opening move, what's so great about it..."

"Then why are you laughing?"

“Who…who laughed!”

"Tsk tsk tsk, the corners of her mouth kept curling up. Hehe, Miss Su must be very proud, right?"

"Bah! Thief, look at the knife!"

Clang! Clang!
……

Such and such, such and such.

After the two reconciled, Qin Lang was the first to accept the princess' invitation this morning. Holding a Qingshuang sword, he came to the martial arts field to practice sword skills with her.

As swords clashed, Qin Lang discovered that Su Yinping's swordsmanship had improved greatly compared to when he was in Qingniugang.

This is not only reflected in the "Sword Technique A" taught by Qin Lang, but also in the royal sword technique "Dragon Sword" that Su Yinping originally learned.

……

"It's 'Dragon Slash'! Not 'Dragon Blade'!"

"Oh, it's the same thing. Didn't the "Sword Technique Armor" I taught you have no name at all before?"

"Oh? You mean now you know the name?"

"Well, it's called 'Star-Picking Knife'."

"Star-picking Knife..."

The clever princess blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and after a brief thought, her eyes widened and she lowered her voice in surprise:
"Zhaixing is... the Zhaixing Tower of the old six sects?"

"Ah."

"So... Senior Sister Mu used to be from Zhaixing Tower?"

"That's not it."

Although the matter of Yao Chi is a big secret, it has a bit of a "side story" feeling in Qin Lang's experience in the martial arts world so far, so he has not told Su Yinping in detail.

Moreover, regarding the existence of Yao Chi, not to mention Qin Lang himself, even his three senior sisters including Mu Xuanli, Nangong Zhuo and the Empress have many unclear things, such as the existence of the legendary eldest sister, so it is indeed not convenient to reveal it to Su Yinping too early.

Su Yinping was also a very sensible girlfriend, and she was very obedient and did not ask any further questions.

"Qin Lang, when do you think I can be as good as her..."

"she?"

Qin Lang is very innocent:
"Who is it?"

"hehe."

The princess sneered:

"Your lover."

"Uh… isn't that you?"

"Humph…"

Su Yinping didn't bother to pay attention to his joke and swung her sword at him. Even though Qin Lang dodged it easily, he was still scared and broke into a cold sweat. After covering his lower body, his expression was distorted:
"Well, Ping, Xiao Lang, you can't kill people randomly. This involves your lifelong happiness..."

"Oh? Only my happiness?" "..."

"What about the happiness of my other sisters whom I have never met?"

"..."

Isn’t this why the pot should be lifted if it is not opened?

Qin Lang now understood that the princess was actually a very jealous woman. She was jealous of everyone except the special Miss Jin.

"Qin Lang, have you read this month's "Red Face"?"

Su Yinping shook the knife and suddenly asked.

"No."

Not to mention this month, in fact, although Qin Lang is the de facto founder of "Zhu Yan", he has not even read the officially released inaugural issue because he was busy with various events.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't read it. Anyway, you wrote the cover story yourself. It's called "Sunday in the Academy". Do you remember what it was about?"

"It says..."

The hero of that story had a miserable ending. Qin Lang stuttered and didn't really want to answer.

Su Yinping did not force it, but swung the Falling Pear Knife in her hand a little more fiercely, and several rays of knife light were reflected on Qin Xiaolang's position.

"Anyway, I feel like that story is trying to tell us that if you can't have something exclusively, then let others not get it either..."

"Lady Su, you can't joke like that."

Qin Lang's heart trembled, and he became serious. He suddenly raised his sword, and the tip of the sword accurately touched Su Yinping's already narrow blade. Su Yinping was startled and took the opportunity to flip the knife over.

However, just as she was about to hold the sword again, Qin Lang's sword had already slid horizontally along the blade and directly towards the handle, forcing Su Yinping to not dare to hold the sword again.

bang-

The Falling Pear Knife fell to the ground, and Qin Lang retracted the sword in his hand at the same time, while his other arm had already tightly embraced the princess's slender waist, and without saying anything, he immersed his head in tasting the princess's sweet lips.

"Hmm~!"

"..."

After their lips parted, the princess, whose aura had obviously softened instantly, shyly glared at her boyfriend. She raised her hand, as if she no longer had the strength to wield a knife, and punched Qin Lang's chest limply:
"Go ahead and chop it off...why don't you just chop off my hand?"

"Hey, how can I bear to do that?"

"Oh, it's just a rough hand holding a knife, what's there to be reluctant about..."

"A hand that can hold a knife is a good hand."

Qin Lang nodded and bit Su Yinping's soft earlobe:
"Lady, you may not know that Qin also has a savage sword. I wonder if you are free tonight to help me shake it..."

"Bah! You... go find whoever wants to hold your hand! Lecher! Look at the knife!"

Even though Miss Su had a heart to be a chivalrous woman, being a chivalrous woman did not mean she was used to hearing such nonsense, so her pretty face instantly turned red, and after spitting at Qin Lang, the two of them picked up their swords and started practicing again.

What the two of them didn't know was that there was actually a figure sitting on the rooftop nearby, watching them practice until they finished.

--------

"Meow~"

"Hey? Where did you go today, little brat?"

"Meow~~"

Qin Lang took a short nap in the afternoon. After waking up, he rubbed the elusive Tuan Tuan for a while. Then he packed up and went out to visit the capital with the princess and Jin'er.

Qin Lang is really looking forward to this.

Since coming to Beijing, he has been like a young girl waiting to be married. He never goes out of the house all day and has been feeling suffocated.

"Jin'er should be free today. I didn't see her at noon, so I don't know if she knows that Yinping and I have reconciled..."

It was easy for a man to pack up. Qin Lang changed into a plain beige gentleman's robe. However, it would take some time for the princess to pack up. Qin Lang took this opportunity to go and talk to Miss Jin and calm down.

call--!
"?!"

However, when he was halfway there, when he arrived at a familiar garden, Qin Lang suddenly sensed the danger, turned around, and raised his palm to receive a punch that looked weak but was actually extremely powerful.

boom!
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts... Run... No, Zhu Hongling, why are you..."

"What? You don't welcome me?"

"Uh…"

If it was before, Qin Lang might have just nodded and said yes, but today Qin Lang found that the masked man in front of him seemed... to be in a bad mood...?
"Welcome, welcome. But I'm about to go out. If you want to fight me, can we do it another day..."

"No."

"..."

"Didn't you have a great time fighting with Su Yinping this morning? Now it's my turn."

"Hmm? You know what I mean? Well, don't fight me. I was already tired from practicing swordplay with the princess this morning..."

"Tired? Haha..."

Zhu Hongling could actually sneer, and her smile was inexplicably interesting, which surprised Qin Lang:

"…I see you're quite happy. What are you practicing? Dual Cultivation?"

"what."

This is not how dual cultivation is done. Qin Lang has experience and decisively shook his head to deny it:
"It's just some ordinary swordplay."

"Hmph, from our point of view, it's probably a sword of love between a man and a woman, or a knife of fire..."

"?"

"You've gotten carried away... Today I'm... on Su Yupan's behalf! Yes! I'm asking you to calm down on behalf of the Empress. Watch my fight!"
