The Dumb Prince of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 109 Sister, there's a reason for this pose.

Yichun Courtyard.

Li Jinglong stood at the door, not going in immediately.

Although Old Zhu's words were rough, the underlying meaning wasn't entirely without merit.

With Hai Li's departure, the distance between the northern desert and the Ming Dynasty was not only thousands of miles, but also war, blood feuds, and old grievances from two generations.

If we want to see each other again in the future, it will be harder than climbing to heaven.

It's too late to leave a seed, but leaving a sentiment is always possible.

He strode into the courtyard.

Upon entering, one sees the Princess of Qin standing in a daze under the eaves.

Today she wore a long grassland dress that accentuated her slender and graceful figure, with an exaggerated curve outlined on the upper body, and her stunning face exuded a mature and cold charm.

It's perfectly ripe.

"Where's Hai Li?" He walked over.

Princess Qin snapped out of her reverie and pointed to the room behind her: "They're tidying up inside."

"Is he taking a bath again?" Li Jinglong's eyes were wary.

The Queen of Qin gently shook her head, her expression blank.

Not right.

Li Jinglong took a few steps closer, stood next to her, and tilted his head to examine her profile.

Just now in Yongchangfang, although this woman was also somewhat dejected, at least she still had the interest to flirt with me.

How come you seem like a completely different person after only being apart for such a short time?

"Your Highness, is something on your mind?" he asked.

After a moment of silence, the Queen Consort of Qin spoke, "The King of Qin has returned to Xi'an."

Li Jinglong was shocked: "Huh? You weren't taken with you?"

"His Majesty didn't let me go back with him, nor did he issue any decree." Princess Qin frowned. "I'm a spy from an enemy country, so I definitely can't remain a princess."

Li Jinglong sighed, "You're not letting me stay because you're going to help me, are you?"

"That's not all." Princess Qin shook her head slightly. "His Majesty may strip me of my title as a princess."

Li Jinglong shrugged: "That's what you deserve."

Princess Qin glared at him: "For so many years, we've been husband and wife in name only. You really shouldn't occupy the position of Princess Qin."

"Didn't the King of Qin come to say goodbye?" Li Jinglong asked.

Princess Qin sneered, "He wishes I were dead."

Li Jinglong smacked his lips.

He knew the King of Qin's attitude towards the Queen Consort; he had absolutely no feelings for her.

"I'm going to check on Hai Li." Li Jinglong ignored everything else and pushed open the door to enter the room.

Upon entering, I saw Hai Li standing by the window, not tidying up.

Her face was clean and delicate, her features exquisite, and her long, smooth hair reached her waist. A plain-colored long dress accentuated her elegant and slender figure.

Li Jinglong stepped forward and stood beside her.

"Is it because you're reluctant to leave?" he asked.

Hai Li sighed softly: "After all, it's a place I've lived in for more than ten years."

Over the past ten years, she has grown from a little girl on the grassland into the graceful young woman she is today; the soil and water of Jiangnan have nurtured her delicate beauty.

Li Jinglong suddenly thought of something and asked, "His Majesty is just letting you return north like this? What if your second uncle doesn't send his son and daughter here?"

"Heh, is Your Majesty the kind of person who would do a losing deal? My cousin and cousin have already entered the pass, and your people are escorting them to the capital." Hai Li snorted.

That's it!

Old Zhu is indeed a cunning old fox; he handed people over with one hand and released them with the other, completely controlling the situation.

"You came to see me because you can't bear to part with me?" Hai Li turned around.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck without any hesitation.

A delicate fragrance wafted over, and Li Jinglong naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.

"His Majesty asked me to see you off tomorrow. I've come to see if there's anything I can help with." He hugged her tightly.

Hai Li sighed softly, "With the Imperial Guards protecting us, we'll be fine."

She tilted her head back, her bright eyes, delicate features, long, white neck, and skin as smooth as jade, making one want to take a bite.

"Return to the grasslands and become the Queen of the Northern Desert." Li Jinglong smiled.

Hai Li wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, tears welling up in her eyes: "If we meet on the battlefield again, I won't let you off the hook."

""

"Don't worry, I won't go to the battlefield," Li Jinglong said.

Hai Li burst out laughing.

Her pretty face was slightly flushed, her phoenix eyes were misty, and she looked at her with a hint of unspeakable emotion.

Li Jinglong was also staring straight at her.

Hai Li tiptoed and kissed his lips.

After responding, Li Jinglong embraced her waist, feeling the softness of the woman in his arms. Suddenly, he thought of something, grabbed her arms and slowly opened them, clenching his fingers together. Then, under Hai Li's puzzled gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her.

After a while.

Li Jinglong loosened his grip and said softly, "This position has a special meaning. In my hometown, it's called the 'Kiss of the Century,' which means 'never abandoning each other in life or death.'"

Hai Li nestled in his arms, tears welling in her eyes.

"Ahem!"

A soft cough came from the doorway, where Princess Qin stood.

Li Jinglong released Hai Li calmly, while Hai Li lowered her head, her ears turning red.

"Come out, there are some things I need to talk about urgently," said Princess Qin.

The two obediently followed him into the courtyard.

Princess Qin cut to the chase, saying to Hai Li, "After you return north, explain the situation here to your second uncle. Jiujiang will be shipping goods to the northern deserts; we will support your second uncle."

"Okay." Hai Li nodded. "I'll take charge personally. As for the caravan, I'll handle things with my second uncle; there won't be any problems."

Li Jinglong chimed in from the side, "We can also write letters through caravans."

Hai Li turned to look at him: "Okay, remember to write to me. Don't be lazy, you have to send one with every caravan trip."

"Don't let this interfere with important business." Princess Qin glared at the two of them.

Hai Li's face darkened again: "Aunt, I'm going back to the grasslands. You'll be all alone in the Ming Dynasty. Take care."

"I'll never be able to return to the grasslands in this lifetime," Princess Qin said with a bitter smile.

"Auntie, I will find a way to bring you back to the grasslands, I definitely will," Hai Li said.

Princess Qin shook her head slightly.

Hai Li turned around and slapped Li Jinglong on the shoulder: "While I'm gone, take good care of my aunt."

Li Jinglong: "Uh————"

"My aunt is in trouble, I won't let you get away with this." Hai Li glared at her.

Li Jinglong said irritably, "Don't worry unnecessarily. She's the Princess Consort of Qin, so what? Who dares to touch her?"

Princess Qin smiled slightly as she watched the two bickering.

"Jiujiang, once Hai Li leaves, the caravan can set off. The northern desert is short of food; with food, my second brother will have more confidence," she said in a deep voice.

Li Jinglong stretched out his hand: "The money can't be less."

Princess Qin rolled her eyes at him: "You'll get your share. If he's short, I'll make up for it with my dowry, okay?"

Li Jinglong nodded readily: "Okay!"

Princess Qin: "————"

"Don't bully my aunt." Hai Li slapped him again.

The Queen of Qin stood up: "I'm going out for a stroll. You can stay here."

She strode out of the courtyard gate.

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, then remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

"Is it too late to leave a seed? That would require a perfect shot," he thought to himself. "The odds are too slim, and I have no experience with that."
