Sister Su Qing, my brother isn’t here?”

Xiaoying waited for the butler to leave and implored Su Qing,

“Then where did he go?”

“There’s no hurry. When the Third Prince returns, I would ask him to send people to search the various inns. Perhaps your big brother doesn’t want to trouble the Third Prince to stay in an inn.”

Su Qing remembered that Shuisheng was not the kind of person who liked to trouble people. He was probably waiting for him at the inn.

If she went to look for him, who knew how many inns there were in Tartan? It would waste time if they were to search randomly, so they still had to ask the Third Prince for help.

“I hope so.”

Xiaoying was still very worried about her big brother. She was afraid that he would be in danger.

Tartan mainly served mutton, and they also served mutton to their guests. In addition, they also served milk tea and cheese, which they thought were the best. The butler quickly brought the dinner over.

“Ladies, take your time to eat. If you need anything, call the soldiers outside the door.”

The butler ordered the servants to put the things down and cupped his hands at Su Qing. He knew that Su Qing did not like palace maids serving her, so he did not leave any palace maids behind.

“Alright, thank you.”

Su Qing nodded and thanked him. The butler left respectfully.

Sister Su Qing, have some milk tea.”

Xiaoying felt very cold, so she poured two bowls of milk tea and gave them to Su Qing first. She then picked up a bowl and slowly drank it.

Unlike Su Qing, she liked the taste of milk tea.

Su Qing saw Xiaoying was enjoying the milk tea, so she picked up the cup and drank it slowly. Although she was not in a hurry on the surface, she was already impatient.

She had already arrived in Tartan but could still not meet Shuisheng in the same city. What was Shuisheng doing? Was he also missing her?

After dinner, the butler ordered two buckets of hot water and a clean change of clothes. Su Qing and Xiaoying took a comfortable bath. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiaoying was exceptionally happy. At home, she could only use hot water to wipe her body. It was simply too comfortable to soak her whole body in the water.

After showering, Su Qing and Xiaoying changed into the clothes that the butler had sent over. They were all Tartan clothes. Xiaoying liked them very much after wearing them. She wore a rose-red cotton robe, tied a belt, and small leather boots. The white fox fur at the collar made her small face look as beautiful as a flower.

Su Qing’s clothes were light green. Her skin was already white, and wearing this color made her look even fairer. This bright color made her cold temperament a little more delicate.

She folded the cotton-padded jackets she and Xiaoying had worn from home and changed.

The other clothes would be taken out to be washed by the palace maids and returned after being washed.

Not long after they finished bathing and changed their clothes, the Third Prince came back from the palace. When he heard that Su Qing and Xiaoying had come, he did not bother to go and change into his casual clothes before rushing over to see them.

“Miss Su.”

The Third Prince stood outside the yurt with his hands behind his back, clenched his fists in excitement. He eagerly looked forward to seeing the person he missed day and night.

“Third Prince, please come in.”

Su Qing shouted from inside the room. The Third Prince nervously tidied his clothes before pushing open the door of the yurt and stepping in.

“Big Brother Ye Lui.”

Xiaoying was very happy to see Yeluchun. She smiled like a flower and greeted him happily.

“Xiaoying.”

Yeluchun’s eyes never left Xiaoying’s face since he entered the yurt. A gentle smile appeared on his serious and cold face as he called Xiaoying’s name cheerfully.

Xiaoying looked good in the clothes of the Tartan girls. Yeluchun really couldn’t take his eyes out.

Such a passionate gaze made Xiaoying’s face turn red. She lowered her head shyly, her heart beating wildly like a deer.

Su Qing frowned slightly when she saw the couple’s affectionate reactions. She didn’t want Xiaoying to marry into the royal family. There were too many rules in the royal family and too many hidden arrows. Xiaoying was innocent and had no schemes. She wouldn’t be able to survive if she married into the royal family.

She coughed lightly to pull Third Prince’s attention back from Xiaoying.

“Third Prince, Shuisheng, came here. Have you met with him?”

“No, I didn’t see Brother Ji.”

He was pretty happy when the Third Prince heard that Ji Shuisheng had come. He was sure that he liked Xiaoying. Ever since they parted at the Azure Mountain Meet, he had been thinking about her day and night.

The Emperor and his mother wanted to get him engaged, so they showed him many portraits of young ladies of noble families. The third prince refused all of them and told them what was on his mind.

The Emperor was a little against it, but Mother was very supportive. She also liked Xiaoying very much.

The stability and prosperity of the Tartan Kingdom did not necessarily require in-laws. It was the same for doing business. Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing had also done them a favor, so marriage was not impossible.

With Mother’s support, the Emperor’s attitude was not so persistent.

But the Emperor’s meaning is that the royal man’s three palaces and six courtyards are typical; he only agrees with the third prince marrying Xiaoying as the side Fujin, the princess’s position must be in the court, and the country’s noble lady is selected.

This was already a big concession for the Emperor. The Imperial Family could not marry a commoner girl, let alone a foreign woman.

The Third Prince was pleased to receive the Emperor’s approval. He was waiting for Ji Shuisheng to come and propose marriage. Hearing that Ji Shuisheng had arrived, the Third Prince could not wait to see him.

Thinking about how the girl he had longed for day and night was about to become his Fujin, the Third Prince looked at Xiaoying with even more expressive eyes. Xiaoying didn’t even dare to raise her head.

Su Qing didn’t know what the Third Prince was thinking. In Tartan, he needed the Third Prince’s help to find someone, so she asked the Third Prince for help.

“Shuisheng came here before us. I’ll have to trouble Third Prince to send someone to look for him. See if he’s staying at a nearby inn. Tell him that Xiaoying and I are here to look for him if you find him.”

“Miss Su, don’t be anxious. You all have a good rest. Little Wang will send someone to look for them. If you need anything, call the soldiers on guard outside.”

When the Third Prince heard Su Qing’s request, he immediately took action. On the one hand, he wanted to help Su Qing find someone; on the other, he wanted lifelong happiness.

Su Qing thought the Third Prince would be able to find Shuisheng very quickly, but it was already late at night, and the Third Prince still hadn’t returned.

“Sister Su Qing, why isn’t my brother back yet? Will it be dangerous?”

Xiaoying couldn’t sit still anymore. She paced back and forth in the room. It was a foreign country, and no one was beside her brother. If he encountered danger, who could help him?

“It won’t happen.”

Could it be that Shuisheng wasn’t in Tartan? Although Su Qing said that, she was also highly anxious. As time passed, she couldn’t keep calm anymore.

Or did he encounter danger on his way to Tartan? Su Qing couldn’t sit still anymore.

“Sister Su Qing, I’ll ask if the Third Prince has returned.”

Xiaoying couldn’t help but ask the soldier standing guard outside the yurt.

Su Qing felt that with the Third Prince’s calm personality, he would send someone to inform them if they found Ji Shuisheng. They hadn’t seen him since he didn’t come to tell them.

In addition, if Shuisheng knew that she and Xiaoying had come to Tartan to look for him, he would also come to see them quickly.

Shuisheng left Mo City first, and he and Xiaoying came out a day later. They had already arrived at Tartan, so how could Shuisheng not have arrived?

Something must have happened!
