The carriage suddenly made a sharp turn and accelerated again.
Caught off guard, the two bodies collided due to inertia.
Chu Tiankuo reacted very quickly and steadied himself while reaching out to steady her: "Be careful."
Xing Nong reacted quickly, and she sat up straight almost at the same time: "It's okay."
Songbai shouted outside: "Master, please forgive me, a mouse suddenly crossed the street and scared the horse."
Chu Tiankuo withdrew his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and wanted to get angry, thinking that he was the rat!
But he knew Songbai was doing this for his own sake, and it was not appropriate to say anything in front of Xingnong at this moment, so he warned in a cold voice: "Drive carefully, and watch your head!"
"yes!"
Xing Nong thought about how he had just called her twice, and continued to ask, "Brother, what did you want to say just now?"
The emotions that Chu Tiankuo had prepared for were shattered by Songbai, but once he decided to do something, he would not give up halfway.
Chu Tiankuo opened his palm, revealing a golden hairpin with a pattern of stars and moon in front of flowers.
There are camellia flowers of different sizes and shapes carved from pink jade on the hairpin. The center of the largest flower has beads arranged in a star-like shape with gold thread, and the flower is surrounded by several green leaves carved from jasper to set off the background.
The whole hairpin looks like flowers of different postures blooming in front of a half-moon. Tiny stars fall from the tassels in the hairpin, twinkling and shining.
Xing Nong felt that the hairpin was extremely delicate and beautiful at first sight!
Chu Tiankuo looked at her, his heart slightly lifted, and he said slowly: "I originally planned to give it to you as a birthday gift, but your birthday is New Year's Eve, and I will probably be on the expedition at that time, and I am worried that I will not be able to make it back in time. I am also worried that it will take too long. If I don't give it to you now, it will be too late when I return, so I give it to you in advance."
Songbai drove the carriage very, very slowly.
Hearing Chu Tiankuo just say this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: The master who usually speaks so little, spoke so much today, and every sentence was nonsense
What a miscalculation!
He should teach his master how to express his feelings!
A confession should go something like this: "'What is love in this world? It makes people pledge their love for each other through life and death.' Junior sister, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you are the one I will pledge my love for in this life and death. In the days ahead, are you willing to fly with me and become a pair of fairy lovers?"
Or just say: "'There is a beauty, I never forget her when I see her. If I don't see her for a day, I miss her like crazy. I fly high in the sky, looking for her in the four seas.' I want to hold your hand and grow old with you. Are you willing?"
... ... .
In short, just show off a few lines of poetry to express your feelings!
At worst, just like when I first gave Miss Xingnong a gift, I would just say, "A token of love!"
This is a birthday gift, and he is worried that he won't be able to make it back in time! If you don't know, you might think he is giving a birthday gift, not a love gift!
Songbai feels that there is no chance of confessing his love this time!
In the carriage, Xing Nong took it and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Another day, when it was his birthday, she would give him a gift. Then she would remember to ask Songbai about their birthdays.
By the way, in past and present lives, creatures like senior brother have always been very good to her!
She even suspected that if her senior brother had not given her the golden bead in her previous life, she would not have come through the laboratory explosion.
But Xingnong didn’t understand why Chu Tiankuo had to say so much when giving a birthday gift
Could it be that this hairpin is a treasure like the gold bead? If a meeting gift can directly give out a Creation Bead, this birthday gift should be even more extraordinary, right
Thinking of this, Xing Nong couldn't help but start to study carefully, silently saying in his heart: Go in, open... ..
No response, are you trying to acknowledge your master by dripping blood
Chu Tiankuo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her accept it, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "When I come back, I will ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage."
He knew that she was as fond of him as he was.
Well, I guess she fell in love with me at first sight. After all, when we first met, she always praised me in her heart.
In Chu Tiankuo's opinion, men cannot give hairpins to women casually, just like women cannot give purses to men casually.
When a man gives a hairpin to a woman, it is a confession of love, and if the woman accepts it, it is a consent.
So when he saw Xingnong happily took it without hesitation, he thought she agreed.
He couldn't help but think that it should have been delivered earlier!
In this way, he would prepare in advance and would not be in the carriage, with Songbai eavesdropping on him, making it impossible for him to say the words he had prepared.
I can only report that the hairpin is tacitly understood!
Pine and cypress: Huh
The master actually used this trick? Wonderful!
Xingnong didn't even have the chance to refuse!
Xing Nong was about to bite himself to let blood drip out, but when he heard this, he paused: (⊙_⊙)
"Isn't this a birthday gift?" Xingnong suddenly felt that this hairpin was a hot potato.
Chu Tiankuo looked at Xingnong who was shocked and was silent for a moment: "This is a love gift."
Xing Nong: "..."
Xing Nong was stunned for a moment, then handed it back: "I can't accept this."
Chu Tiankuo looked at the hairpin she handed back to him, but he didn't take it and didn't say anything.
The carriage outside was moving at a snail's pace.
In the quiet street in the early morning, the only sound is the regular "clacking" of horse hooves.
Even the pines and cypresses dared not breathe.
Finished!
How could Miss Xingnong refuse
Looking around the entire State of Chu, where can one find a man like his master who has good looks, a good figure, money, power, and who is not interested in women
It's impossible to find it even with a lantern!
Why refuse
"Why?"
Xing Nong: "Your status is too high, we are not suitable."
He is the crown prince, which means he will have three palaces and six courtyards in the future, even if he doesn't want to!
After all, she was poisoned by a mandarin duck snake. She used her mind to find the medical book from his space and read it. She knew that the poison was extremely cold and there was no antidote. She would probably be infertile for the rest of her life.
In modern times, infertility is a big problem for a woman, and even if they are married, most of them will get divorced. Moreover, in this dynasty, where the common people believe that there are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no offspring, if a woman has no children for three years, she will either be divorced or the man will take a concubine.
As the future monarch, whether or not he has offspring means that the country will have no successor and the country will be unstable. Therefore, even if he does not take a concubine, the ministers will not agree.
But Xingnong could not accept sharing a husband with others, so even though his appearance, talent, and character met all her standards for choosing a spouse, and even far exceeded her requirements, she had no plans to get married after she knew that the venom of the mandarin duck snake was an extremely cold poison.
Chu Tiankuo frowned. She was not someone who cared about her status, nor was she someone who belittled herself and felt that she was not worthy of him. He could tell that she admired him.
"I know it's not because of my identity, what's wrong with it?"
Only after she said it out loud could he make changes.
In her previous life, when Xingnong was pursued by someone, she would refuse by saying, "I want to find someone with a higher IQ than me," and then those men would give up.
That can’t be said now. After all, Xingnong feels that his IQ is definitely not lower than his own.
