Chapter 1474: Proposal to Princess Cui Cuo

Bai Zhi’er was taken aback.

She stepped back a few steps: "Speak clearly, don’t make it seem like there’s something between us!"

Xie Yu lifted his head and smiled: "We didn’t have anything before, but we can now. You must have heard, I came to the Chu Kingdom with betrothal gifts."

"To propose to Princess Cui Cuo." He articulated each word clearly.

Bai Zhi’er put her hands on her hips; her charming face showed defiance: "You’re just trying to scare me, deliberately causing a fuss."

"Yes, what of it." Xie Yu said insincerely, then laughed coldly.

Let her think he’s just messing around.

Bai Zhi’er exhaled and crossed her arms: "Well, you might be disappointed, because I have an engagement."

Xie Yu froze: "An engagement? With whom?"

Bai Zhi’er raised her head: "Why should I tell you? You’re younger than me, it’s impossible for us."

"Even three months younger is young?" Xie Yu retorted.

Bai Zhi’er: ...

"How did you know my birthdate?"

"My mentor told me."

That mentor!

Bai Zhi’er continued: "My father would never allow me to marry far away; Yan Country is too far."

Xie Yu pondered: "You’re right, then I’ll abdicate and give the throne to my cousin."

Bai Zhi’er widened her eyes: "Matters of the nation’s destiny, how can you be so reckless!"

Xie Yu laughed: "Just to scare you."

Bai Zhi’er rolled her eyes elegantly.

"But the most important thing is, I don’t like you; I have someone I like."

After she finished speaking, Xie Yu didn’t laugh for a long time.

He naturally had a pair of sharp and shadowy eyes, which seemed very stern when he wasn’t smiling.

For some reason, Bai Zhi’er felt his gaze was somewhat hurt, even though he tried hard not to show it to anyone.

Just as she wanted to examine it carefully, Xie Yu suddenly chuckled: "Really? Who is it? Could it be the mysterious man who accompanied you in disturbing the army that day?"

Bai Zhi’er nodded emphatically: "Yes. You saw it too; we’re completely in sync. Besides, we’ve known each other since childhood; I like him."

"Name." Xie Yu suddenly asked.

Bai Zhi’er was taken aback: "Huh?"

"I’m asking you, what’s his name."

At that moment, Chu Ping ran over nearby, waving and shouting: "Princess, Marquis has returned!"

Bai Zhi’er hastily left a remark: "Why are you asking so many questions? Alright, stop messing around. It’s my fault for not revealing my identity earlier. Now that you’re here in Great Chu, I’ll make sure you’re well entertained. After all, we’re mentor-brother and sister, don’t be too petty!"

She said this and then turned, lifted her skirt, and ran up the small hill.

A tall and handsome figure appeared on the hill.

Xie Yu lifted his head and met eyes as sharp as snow water.

Bai Zhi’er ran to Feng Fuce’s side in delight: "It smells wonderful! I can smell it through the oil paper wrap."

Feng Fuce withdrew his gaze and naturally took her hand.

"I hurried back; it’s still hot. Let’s share it with your parents."

With that, the two of them turned and left together.

The April spring breeze blew across Xie Yu’s pale face. He stood by the stream for a long time, feeling somewhat lonely.

"Marquis?" After a moment, Xie Yu muttered the two words, not sure what he was thinking.

He followed up the hill, returning to the pavilion.

Bai Xilie was passionately praising Feng Fuce’s merits to Mo Yanchi.

"My Marquis Wan, whenever entrusted with a task, there’s nothing he can’t handle!"
