Chapter 92: Lovebirds in Harmony

Just as Xiaodong nodded in agreement, there was movement in the bushes again. A few seconds later, several teenagers about the same age as Xiaodong walked out, and they looked very nervous.

"Who are you and why are you hiding there?" Xue Qinghe looked at the men's clothes and expressions with an indifferent expression. He guessed their identities in just a few breaths: small nobles with no power or influence!

One of them bowed to Xue Qinghe and said, "Your Highness, we... um... are here to look for Her Highness the Princess."

"What's the matter?"

"Um...it's because...for..."

"Plop~" One of them suddenly rushed in front of Xiaodong, staggered and knelt on the ground, and shouted anxiously: "Your Highness! My name is Li San! I am the legitimate son of the Yincao family. On behalf of the Yincao family, I am willing to offer eternal loyalty to Your Highness. Please give us a chance to be loyal!"

As he spoke, he looked at the small boots, trying to see through the white and tender feet inside: "If Brother Guanhai is right, Her Highness will immediately use this tender foot to lift her chin, and then look at it with a look of garbage..."

Just as he was daydreaming, the white and cute little foot suddenly disappeared!

Ok?

Li San subconsciously looked up, and immediately met a pair of trash-looking eyes looking at him...

However, it was not the princess he had been thinking about, but the crown prince Xue Qinghe!

And our princess Xiaodong had hidden behind Xue Qinghe at some point, and a cute little head was half exposed on her right shoulder, looking at her timidly.

"The princess is going to visit my prince's mansion. Since you are willing to be her servants, why don't you go with her?" Xue Qinghe said coldly.

"Sorry... Sorry, Your Highness!" Li San and his companions were sweating profusely. They were so anxious that they realized that they were still Tiandou nobles. They were changing jobs in front of everyone...

And accompany him to visit the Prince's Palace? I'm afraid he will never be able to leave again!

Fortunately, Xiaodong, whose head was half exposed from Xue Qinghe's shoulder, spoke at the right time: "The princess's order is no longer available, but since you want to be my friend, go find His Highness the Fourth Prince and join the Knights."

“Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Your Highness!” The people of Rushe Dashi were overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: “Well… we will go and sign up now, so as not to disturb Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Princess!”

Before he could finish speaking, several people turned their heads and ran away in a hurry. However, Li San subconsciously glanced at Xiaodong when he stood up and ran away. He suddenly found that Xiaodong, who was hiding behind Xue Qinghe, was holding the corner of his clothes with one hand, making the posture of the two look very... uh~ intimate~!

Not only Li San saw it, but the guards who were secretly observing around also looked at this scene with different expressions.

Only Xue Qinghe, one of the parties involved, did not know because of the angle. Of course, she could feel it, but she didn't care at all, because she was 9% sure that Xiaodong was her sister. A sister's behavior of being more intimate with her older sister... is there a problem?

At the entrance of the academy, the Tiandou followers brought by Xue Qinghe were chatting with each other:

"Hey, what do you think the Crown Prince is doing here to see this princess? Isn't he trying to make friends with her?"

"What a joke! The Crown Prince's talent is not comparable to that of the foolish Fourth Prince! He doesn't even need to rely on the relationship with the Spirit Hall!"

"Besides, she is the princess of the Spirit Hall. It is impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have any relationship with her. He must be just curious and come to see her."

"Really... But I always feel like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry."

"Actually, I hope something happens between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and that princess! You've also seen the photo of that princess, right? Hehehe~"

"It turns out that the famous female pope of the Spirit Hall was so cute when she was a child! I wonder what she looks like now~"

"Of course she is very queen-like! When the princess was little, she must have been teased by the female pope a lot. I'm so envious!"

"Could it be that her saintly character is due to the fact that she is locked up in a secret room by the Pope every day..."

"Hey~ The Crown Prince is here!"

"The princess is here too!"

"Shh! Shut up!"

In the distance, a boy and a girl were walking towards them, their steps in unison and their bodies matched. Although they both looked very young, they seemed to be a perfect match.

Especially the warmth on the fair and resolute face of the young man and the blush on the pretty face of the loli, as if they were holding hands and snuggling with each other in harmony in the spring sunset!

Simply put, they are a match made in heaven.

And this couple... no, it was Xue Qinghe and Xiao Dong who were walking over talking and laughing. Upon careful listening, it was Xiao Dong showing off his saintly and benevolent thoughts to Xue Qinghe, saying that it was wrong for soul masters to do this, and that everyone should turn into small black seeds.

Xue Qinghe also smiled and nodded frequently. His attentive listening made it hard to tell whether he was just being perfunctory or taking it to heart.

It was not until the two of them walked to the carriage they came in that the followers came back to their senses from the picturesque scenery just now. They stared at Xue Qinghe and Xiaodong getting on the carriage one after another. Xue Qinghe, who got on first, turned around and stretched out his hand to Xiaodong. In the astonished eyes of everyone, the two of them held hands together and got into the carriage together.

"This... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess of the Spirit Hall..."

"Did I see it wrong? They looked so intimate, and they were even holding hands?"

"Misunderstanding? No! When the Spirit Hall princess came over earlier, she lagged behind the Crown Prince by a few inches. Her right hand seemed to be holding the left sleeve of the Crown Prince. There is no mistake!"

"No way? It's only been a few minutes? Are the two of you so close so quickly?"

"You said...did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know Her Royal Highness the Princess before?"

"This... you can't say that casually..."

"Let's go home." While the followers were still gossiping in low voices, Xue Qinghe's voice came from the carriage. The followers could only suppress their fear temporarily and hurriedly returned to their positions and went home.

However, what no one except Xiaodong knew was that the extremely exciting scene just now had been captured by someone from multiple angles, in all directions, and in three dimensions!

Wait! Why does Xiaodong know all this?

Is she more alert than anyone else present?

Or was she constantly using her spiritual power to explore the surroundings? Wasn't she tired? Wasn't she afraid that her spiritual power would be detected by the hidden soul master or Xue Qinghe who possessed the 10-year soul bone suit and expose her secret?

After everyone left, a spirit master who was good at hiding his abilities poked his head out from the shadows. The Spirit Hall emblem on his chest revealed his identity, but that was not the point. The point was that he was holding a somewhat retro camera in his hand:

"Is this enough? I don't know why Her Highness the Princess ordered me to secretly take photos of her... But Her Highness the Princess is so adorable. Hehe~ I'm going to keep a few of the photos I took secretly for myself!"

"Also, the picture of Crown Prince Tendou and the Princess standing together just now is too... um, let's go back and develop the photos first. Oh, the Princess also instructed that the Bishop must not be informed of this, so we have to be careful."

Obviously, this guy who originally belonged to Sarath's subordinate was bribed by Xiaodong at some point. Well, it can't be said that he was bribed. One is a stubborn and corrupt old man, and the other is a lovely princess who is young, energetic and of a very high status. There is no need to consider who to be loyal to.

Especially since many nobles in Liantiandou have openly joined the princess, the legitimate 25-year-olds from the Spirit Hall have no psychological burden to change jobs.
