Si Qin's face tightened when he heard this, his expression turning serious as he said, "How could I be such a person? My feelings for the Khan are true, heaven and earth can prove it. The Khan is such an extraordinary woman, she is much more beautiful than those who only have looks! I admire and adore the Khan, my feelings for the Khan have never changed after all these years! "
Si Qin's gaze was too passionate, causing A Nari's face to turn red. She looked at Si Qin with both joy and shyness as she muttered, "Of course I trust the Prince Consort's character."
Si Qin was moved as he held onto A Nari's hands and slowly leaned over.
A Nari looked down in embarrassment and closed her eyes, waiting for the kiss to come.
When the men at the side saw this, they drank water and ate their rations while trying to hold back their laughter. In their hearts, they were praising the Prince Consort for being so powerful. He was both handsome and talented. Only such a man would be able to tame such a shrewish woman like the Khan.
Perhaps because there were too many people around, Si Qin did not kiss A Nari and only rubbed his forehead against hers.
Such an intimate action was even more arousing than a kiss.
A Nari was treated so preciously, how could she remember anything else? She only felt that she was about to melt into a puddle of water and melt into Si Qin's gentleness.
That little bit of suspicion just now had long been thrown out of the window.
However, when she glanced at Qin Yining and saw Qin Yining's face that could not hide his beauty under the dirt, A Nari still felt stifled in her heart.
This kind of vixen was really annoying.
The group rested for a while before they set off again.
This time, they had enough water and rations, and they could confirm their direction. They also knew that they would be able to leave the desert soon. Everyone's mood was different from before, and they were all relaxed and happy.
However, as captives, Qin Yining and Lu Heng were not assigned horses. They still had to rely on their feet to walk behind the group of horses.
Qin Yining tried her best to steady her breathing. She told herself that at least she had water and food now. She didn't have to worry about these people abandoning her in the desert. If Pang Xiao was here, she might have fainted without worry. But when there was no one around to rely on, she had to be strong.
Finally, after walking for an entire day, they saw the oasis at the end of the desert in the evening.
That was not a mirage, but an oasis that truly existed in front of his eyes! They finally left the desert and set foot on the territory of the Tartars.
Everyone rested for a while in a nearby tribe. When they heard that the Khan and the Prince Consort had come to visit, the leader immediately offered up his most spacious and clean tent and served them the most delicious roasted meat and milk wine.
Qin Yining and Lu Heng were finally able to wash off the sand on their bodies and change into clean Tatan clothes.
The clothes that the leader offered were all exquisite. Inside was a long robe with narrow sleeves that had a slit on both sides. On the outside was a light yellow outer robe with long sleeves that reached the elbows. The outermost layer was a red brocade waistcoat with a round collar and a row of pure silver buttons that shone with a silver light.
Her hair was neatly tied up by a maid. She wore a hat with red agate and silver tassel pendants on both sides. In the middle of the hat, a row of red agate tassel beads fell in front of her forehead, right between her eyebrows. It made her palm-sized face look as white and tender as cream.
The maid smiled and communicated with her in Tatan language.
Qin Yining didn't understand what she was saying, so she politely smiled at her.
The maid mumbled something and brought a pair of red soft boots inlaid with lace for her.
Qin Yining smiled and thanked her, then put on the boots.
The maid looked at Qin Yining, and her eyes lit up. She excitedly circled around her and looked at her for a while. Then, she said something, covered her face with her hands, and excitedly walked out.
Qin Yining frowned slightly. She tiredly lay down on the wooden bed by the window.
She was alert and didn't dare to fall asleep. However, the exhaustion from the long journey in the desert was not something that an ordinary person could endure. Moreover, she had just recovered from her injuries and hadn't eaten her fill.
Qin Yining unknowingly fell asleep.
Not long after, Si Qin walked into the tent and saw the beauty lying by the window.
The agate beads and tassels hung on her forehead, softly supporting her white cheeks. Her other arm was resting on her waist. Because she was sleeping on her side, the close-fitting long robe and waistcoat outlined her mountain-like figure vividly.
Si Qin stood at the door in a daze. He stared at her for a long time, but he didn't remember what he was doing.
It wasn't until she heard the crackling sound of a small pile of firewood burning in the middle of the ground that Siqin recovered from her stupor in shock.
Da Zhou was a wonderful place. The land was rich in water and resources. Even the women were delicate and fair. Their skin was as white as milk tofu.
That was why he was so obsessed with the land in the south.
Compared to the Tatan, where most of the tribes were nomadic, Da Zhou was a farming country that was more suitable for long-term development.
Si Qin slowly walked towards Qin Yining. His footsteps were very light, like a cat that was tiptoeing. He slowly approached the bed.
He reached out his right hand, which was wearing a red agate ring. Just as his fingertips were about to touch Qin Yining's cheek, the beauty on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at him.
When Si Qin's eyes met hers, he was so shocked by her sharp gaze that he forgot to continue moving.
Qin Yining frowned. She slapped his hand away and stood up. She stared at him with sharp eyes and said in a cold and sharp voice,
"What is Prince Consort doing?"
Si Qin's hand burned with pain from the slap. He clenched his fist and placed it behind his back. He smiled warmly and said, "There's a bonfire up ahead. They're preparing to roast a whole lamb. I came to call you over to eat together."
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't understand what Prince Consort means."
"You don't understand? What don't you understand? "Siqin's eyes stared straight at her opening and closing cherry lips.
Qin Yining said, "On the way here, Prince Consort treated me the same as the other captives. Other than occasionally speaking normally, we didn't have any interactions. You're the high and mighty Prince Consort, and your wife is the Tatan Khan. Right now, I'm just a captive under your control. In this kind of situation, I don't even have the right to eat a whole lamb. Even if you wanted me to eat it, why would Prince Consort have to personally lower himself and act like that? "
Si Qin's eyes flashed. Gradually, a smile appeared on his face.
"You really are an intelligent woman. I didn't expect you to be so sharp. "
Qin Yining looked back at him with an expression that said, "Don't tease me."
"There's such an obvious difference. Anyone would be able to tell, right? Or is it because Prince Consort is too confident in himself? Do you think that as long as you show a good face, all women will be charmed until they lose their sense of direction? "
When Si Qin heard this, his eagle eyes immediately narrowed. His gaze was filled with a strong murderous intent!
