Return of the Swallow

Zhou Meng couldn't help but stare at Qin Yining's charming appearance again. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā When she thanked her, her red lips were slightly parted, shy and astringent. That look was so alluring!

Zhou Meng wished he could marry her immediately! Just thinking that he can get this woman, blowing out the red candles at night, and being turned upside down under the red tent...

A wave of heat rushed through his body. Zhou Meng was afraid of appearing indecent, so he immediately crossed his legs and said: "Look, is there anything else here that you are not used to? Or what else do you want? Just tell me directly."

Then he looked at Lu Heng, Arhan and others standing behind Qin Yining as if to show mercy, and said: "Your clan members can also make requests. I will make arrangements as appropriate."

This show off tone is really annoying. Qin Yining was still able to hide her thoughts and said calmly: "The prince's previous arrangements have been very careful. There is nothing missing for the time being."

"We are all our own. If you are short of anything or want to use anything, don't be polite and just ask, but don't wrong yourself, eh?" The last word was very long. As Zhou Meng spoke, he couldn't help but lean closer to her.

Qin Yining lowered his head, hiding the boredom in his eyes, and just nodded.

Zhou Meng looked at the long hair that fell on her shoulders as she nodded, and felt as if his heart was moved by this soft long hair. He wished he could hold her in his arms and love her immediately. .

But Zhou Meng still maintained his identity and didn't want to show too much impatience in front of outsiders. Anyway, this oasis is his territory. The Xiyue tribe has been exploring for hundreds of years, but they have not found a way out of the no-man's land. I believe that people like Qin Yining will not be able to get out either. He has to stay here for the rest of his life anyway, so he doesn't believe that he can't get this beauty!

The days are long!

What's more, compared to when they met just now, the beauty's attitude has softened a lot and is no longer cold.

This is probably because you felt relieved after meeting the tribesmen, right?

Zhou Meng had a lot of thoughts running through his mind, but they only lasted for a breath.

He sat there again and chatted with Qin Yining. It seemed like they were chatting, but in fact, every word he said was trying to trick her. He wanted to know why this group of people entered the desert and why they had so many possessions. There was so much food and grass, how did they find their way through no man's land?

Qin Yining braced himself to deal with it and answered every word very carefully. He played Tai Chi with him in a roundabout way and chatted for nearly half an hour. Not only did Zhou Meng not get any useful information,

He also told a lot about the Xiyue clan and the situation in his family, and he was not unhappy at all after not getting Qin Yining's answer. Instead, he talked very enthusiastically.

After all, Qin Yining's body had not recovered yet. After all this battle of wits and courage, she was already frightened and tired. He showed some fatigue appropriately.

Zhou Meng wanted to please the beauty and bring the two of them closer, but how could he be willing to make Qin Yining uncomfortable? Immediately ask someone to arrange for the imperial doctor to come and take a look at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was already very irritable when he saw that this man still refused to leave. Even the few people standing behind and listening to them were also very irritable, but they kept suppressing their emotions and did not dare to be impulsive.

While waiting for the imperial doctor, a maid came from outside to send a message: "Your Majesty, the fourth princess is about to give birth. The imperial doctor said that the situation is very dangerous. Please go and take a look."

Zhou Meng's expression changed and he immediately observed Qin Yining's expression.

Seeing that Qin Yining was not angry or jealous, he couldn't tell whether he should be relieved or disappointed, so he could only stand up and said: "If you have any problems, let the imperial doctor take a look. What's the use of calling me? Is it possible that I can't deliver a baby?" ?”

Qin Yining frowned and said, "Giving birth is a big event for a woman. The fourth princess is the concubine of the county prince, right?"

The implication was that he was blaming Zhou Meng for being ruthless.

His woman was about to give birth, but he was actually busy hooking up with other women. Even if the imperial doctor said the situation was dangerous, he didn't even bother to check on her.

Zhou Meng also sensed the smell and felt that Qin Yining could not let Qin Yining have the impression that he did not care about women, so he said: "I am also busy because of my affairs, and I have many ministers to meet later. Since the beauty... Miss Pang said so, I'll go and have a look. The imperial doctor will come to check on you later. You should take medicine and rest well. I will come to see you when I have time, okay?"

Qin Yining was already bored beyond measure and thought to herself: You are finally leaving. If you stay here and deal with it for a while, I can't help but want to hit you!

"Farewell to the prince." Qin Yining saluted.

Lu Heng and Arhan also took the lead in saluting each other.

Zhou Meng turned back three times and reluctantly left.

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief when the people were gone.

Because there were maids from the Xiyue clan around, everyone couldn't talk casually, but Qin Yining could feel that everyone was relieved.

Qin Yining called the maid who had served her in the bath before, "Is the fourth princess the princess of the county?"

When the maid heard this question, she was so frightened that she trembled all over.

The prince obviously wants to marry the goddess. What if the goddess knows the truth and becomes jealous and refuses to marry the king? Wouldn’t all their food be taken away by the goddess?

Thinking of this, the maid knelt down with a plop, "Goddess, calm down. Because we have prayed for hundreds of years, the goddess came to Xiyue. The county king did not know that the goddess came back before. For the reproduction of the Xiyue tribe, he had to get married. The county If the king knows the news of the arrival of the goddess, he will definitely be waiting for you!"

Qin Yining was dumbfounded and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It seems that the people of the Xiyue tribe here have special belief and respect for the Xiyue religion, the holy book and the goddess. Compared with the lewd prince, ordinary people may have been taught since childhood that the goddess will come with food. Xiyue's thoughts, so she has always believed in this.

So it can be analyzed that food seeds are really needed here!

Qin Yining frowned, pretended to be worried and sighed, "Get up. What's your name?"

"Back to the goddess, my servant's name is Biyu."

"Well. You don't need to be so nervous. Nothing will happen to me. Now that I have come to Xiyue, I will not leave easily, and I will not take away the food easily. I just want to know about the situation here, and I hope you can tell me .”

When Biyu heard this, she became even more nervous.

If you won't leave easily and won't take away food easily, it means you will leave if you are unhappy!

You must serve the goddess well and not let them leave.

Thinking of this, Biyu immediately nodded and said: "Goddess, I must know everything. The king has the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess and the fourth princess. The fourth princess was just named last year, and there are thirty concubines below. Seven people. Some are newly granted titles, and some are old concubines who have given birth to sons or daughters. The king has not yet established a son." The implication is that if Qin Yining marries the king, it is possible to have a son. It's the prince.

It seems that the competition for becoming a concubine or concubine for the Xiyue County Prince is fierce?

Listening to the titles, in addition to the increase in the number of county princesses, whether they are princesses, concubines, princes, lords or ladies, they are all based on the titles used by the Northern Hebei Kingdom when it was entrusted to the county kings.

Therefore, the people here must have been forced to come here by the prince of a certain fiefdom and his men during the Northern Hebei Kingdom for some reason.

Qin Yining asked for a moment more, and then there was a burst of voices outside.

Biyu said: "Doctor Wang is here."

Lu Heng then interjected: "My cousin is so good, let the imperial doctor take a look at it. It will be best if you take good care of yourself."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, then went to sit down on the heated floor. Lu Heng and Arhan naturally stood near her.

Doctor Wang was in his forties or fifties, slightly hunched over, with a stooped waist when he walked, and a wrinkled face, like a poor man who was about to collapse under the weight of his worries.

When he came closer, he bowed and carefully diagnosed Qin Yining's pulse, and finally said: "The goddess's cold is much better. It's just that her body is weak and she still needs to take good supplements to recuperate."

Biyu and another maid, Xinyu, hurriedly and carefully asked Dr. Wang about how to supplement and regulate his body.

While they were busy, Qin Yining winked at Lu Heng, Arhan and Chagan Bala.

Lu Heng couldn't help but smile and nodded. If the imperial doctor could treat her well and get the best treatment and the most appropriate care, I believe her health would definitely get better. In this way, Lu Heng could rest assured.

The sky was getting dark, and there were guards outside to send a message to Biyu, "The king has given orders, and please ask the goddess's tribe to go back and rest for the time being."

Qin Yining frowned reluctantly.

Arhan whispered: "Are you afraid if you stay here at night?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. The matter is still being discussed. I'm safe here. It's okay if you can go back, so as not to worry the clansmen."

Qin Yining smiled at Lu Heng again and said, "Cousin, you should have a good rest when you go back."

Lu Heng understood what Qin Yining meant. She hoped that after he returned, he would take good care of his people, observe the surrounding environment, and formulate appropriate strategies.

Fortunately, they could meet every day to exchange information and plan countermeasures. The short separation also made it easier for him to observe the situation outside the palace and inform Qin Yining.

Apart from worrying that Qin Yining would be hurt by that Zhou Meng, the rest was in line with Lu Heng's wishes.

Although he thought so, the reality was that Lu Heng and his party had to leave first.

Qin Yining asked Biyu to give him a good delivery, while he took the medicine under Xinyu's service.

When it got dark, oil lamps were lit in the hall.

Biyu and Xinyu brought dinner. The staple food was boiled soft and glutinous beans, a few pickled side dishes, and the fruit was green apples.

Beans are more common in the north, and since she lives in the palace, Prince Xiyue deliberately wants to please her, so he will definitely order the people below to entertain her well. The staple food they provide is beans, which are practical for civilians, and there is no such thing as rice and bread, so there is really a shortage of food here.

Biyu and Xinyu were a little nervous when they saw Qin Yining looking at Douzi, which was not practical.

The food brought by the goddess included rice, corn, and wheat. Although most of it was beans, the goddess' identity meant that she didn't like beans very much. She must not be used to eating them.
