Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality - Chapter 355 - 307: The One Siyao Likes Will Be Her Husband

“We shouldn’t say such things. Siyao is a princess of our Qin Kingdom, so she represents our nation’s honor. If she gets married in the future knowing nothing but games, and remains spoiled and willful, won’t she just become a laughingstock?”

“I’d like to see who dares to mock my daughter.”

“In any case, I will teach Siyao properly. Your Majesty must simply refrain from spoiling her so.”

Empress Shi did not wish to argue with His Majesty any further.

However, Empress Shi quickly remembered something. “Speaking of which, the Qi Kingdom wishes to arrange a childhood betrothal with us to strengthen the bond between our two nations. What are Your Majesty’s thoughts?”

“What does Siyao think?” the Sovereign of Qin asked.

“No! I don’t want an arranged marriage!” Qin Siyao raised her head. “When I grow up, I’ll find my own husband!”

“Then what kind of husband do you want to find?” the Sovereign of Qin asked with a smile.

“I… I want to find someone I like!” Qin Siyao replied. “The person I like will be my husband.”

“Hahaha,” the Sovereign of Qin laughed heartily, not taking his daughter’s words to heart.

’After all, what could an eight-year-old girl possibly understand about love?’

“The Prime Minister has already spoken to me of this matter.” The Sovereign of Qin took a sip of wine, his voice naturally imposing. “My decision is made. How can a Dragon Maiden be wed to the son of a dog?”

Empress Shi was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

An hour later, the Sovereign of Qin and his retinue arrived outside the Imperial Hunting Forest.

The various members of the Royal Family and Relatives were already waiting.

“We, your subjects, pay our respects to Your Majesty!”

Everyone shouted in unison as the Sovereign of Qin disembarked from his carriage.

“You may all rise.”

“Our thanks to Your Majesty!”

The Sovereign of Qin scanned the crowd and began to speak with a smile:

“Today is our Qin Kingdom’s decennial Great Hunt. Our kingdom was founded on martial prowess, and every ten years, our heirs must venture alone into the Imperial Hunting Forest to hunt.

For this Great Hunt, I have also prepared several prizes for you all.”

As he finished speaking, Eunuch Li stepped forward, reverently holding a box.

The Sovereign of Qin opened the box.

Inside lay a crimson Treasure Pearl.

At the sight of this Treasure Pearl, everyone’s breath hitched. It was a Fire Spirit Pearl! To a Martial Cultivator, such a thing was a treasure of Immortal Grade!

“Whoever bags the most prey this time, this Fire Spirit Pearl is theirs!” The Sovereign of Qin closed the box. “All of you must give it your best effort.”

The crowd shouted with excitement, “We shall not disappoint Your Majesty!”

“Good.” The Sovereign of Qin nodded in satisfaction and said to the children beside him, “Jing Su, Jing Yuan, Siyao, these are the descendants from the various General’s Mansions. They have trained in martial arts since they were small. Each of you, choose a guard to accompany you into the Imperial Hunting Forest.”

According to the customs of the Qin Kingdom, during the Great Hunt, military officers of the Fourth-Grade and above would send their children from the Capital City to serve as guards for the Royal Family. It was also a way to foster relationships among the next generation.

Of course, relying solely on these youths as guards was certainly not enough.

Therefore, the Sovereign of Qin also arranged for the Imperial Palace Honored Guest Elders to follow in secret, ensuring that nothing could possibly go wrong.

“Yes, Father Emperor.”

The three of them assented and walked over to the descendants of the Military Generals, who were standing in a row, to select their guards.

In truth, the two Princes already had their choices in mind. Only Qin Siyao was still deliberating, looking from one person to the next.

Soon, however, she spotted a guard who looked to be about her age.

Qin Siyao walked up, her small hands clasped behind her back, and asked curiously, “You’re a guard, too?”

“Yes, Princess,” the young boy replied.

Qin Siyao blinked her large, sparkling eyes. “But you’re so young. As young as I am.”

“…” The young boy did not reply.

“But this is the first time I’ve met someone my own age.” The little girl’s eyes curved into crescents. “What’s your name?”

The young boy turned his head, met the girl’s eyes, and answered:

“Xiao Mo.”
