We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

With Guli's help, ten warhorses were quickly selected.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't hesitate and went straight up to ask about the price.

"How much do these ten horses cost in total?"

Li Hua didn't answer the question; instead, she asked him a question out of curiosity.

"Is Guli your concubine?"

Zhou Tiancheng was somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it.

After all, Guli and Li Hua are good friends, and she was probably worried about her friend's life.

He shook his head.

"She's not quite a concubine, more like a maidservant. You're in the Great Qian Dynasty, so you should understand what a maidservant means."

Li Hua immediately frowned.

"Why isn't she a concubine? Is Guli not pretty?"

Does this have anything to do with being pretty?

Zhou Tiancheng had a bit of a headache, but he still forced himself to explain.

"In Daqian, the purity of bloodline is highly valued."

"Guli is beautiful, but she is a Hu woman. Even if I were willing, the civil and military officials and my father would not allow me to marry a Hu woman and make her the Crown Princess."

"This is a tradition of the Great Qian Dynasty, and even I cannot change it."

Li Hua nodded slightly, and then suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"If I marry you, will I only be a concubine, just like Guli?"

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned.

No.

Ten generals proposed marriage, so why did this Hu woman suddenly say she wanted to marry him?

He quickly waved his hand.

"Are you misunderstanding something?"

"I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of the Tenth General!"

Li Hua glanced at Xiao Shi, then at Zhou Tiancheng, and immediately frowned.

If you weren't the one proposing marriage, why are you walking in front, all calm and collected, like you're trying to show off?

Look at Xiao Shi again. He has his brows furrowed, his head down, and he doesn't say a word.

Does this look like someone's coming to propose marriage?

Li Hua immediately became somewhat angry.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Although I am a Hu woman and do not understand your Daqian culture, I can tell that you are not sincere!"

"In that case, I won't sell these horses to you!"

Zhou Tiancheng was completely stunned.

He wanted to explain himself.

At that moment, Xiao Shi suddenly pulled him up.

"Your Highness, please give in."

"Why would I agree to anything? I'm not short of women; I'm finding you a wife!"

Zhou Tiancheng got a little angry.

Xiao Shi, on the contrary, relaxed.

"Your Highness, it's obvious that she's interested in you and not me, so you can't blame me for that."

"On the contrary, if you continue to refuse, not only will you not be able to buy ten Xia horses, but the horse dealer will also run away."

Zhou Tiancheng became somewhat withdrawn.

He had to admit that he still really wanted to keep the other person with him.

Having a reliable horse dealer to supply warhorses is better than anything else!

So Zhou Tiancheng changed his tune.

"Well, let's put aside the marriage proposal for now and talk about buying horses first."

Li Hua chuckled and looked at him with scrutiny in his eyes.

Seeing this, Guli grabbed her hand and shook it, saying something in a coquettish tone.

Of course, they were speaking the language of the Northern Rong, and Zhou Tiancheng didn't understand a word of it.

Seeing Guli pleading for him, Li Hua reluctantly nodded.

"I agree."

"But before that, you will have to drink three cups of wine as punishment for your rudeness."

It's just drinking, isn't it?

Zhou Tiancheng nodded confidently.

They followed Li Hua to the dining room, and after they all sat down, someone brought out a large plate.

Good heavens, a whole roasted lamb was placed in front of everyone.

Followed by.

Various kinds of beef and mutton were served on the table as if they were free.

Then there are the drinks.

Before Zhou Tiancheng could react, a huge bowl was placed in front of him, and a maid poured wine into it.

After eating this bowl, it must weigh at least a pound, right?

Zhou Tiancheng was dumbfounded.

The punishment is three cups of wine. Are there really only three cups?

That's three pounds!

Before he could speak, Li Hua picked up the large bowl and drank it all down. After finishing, he looked at him.

Now Zhou Tiancheng also had a headache.

Is this woman a drunkard?

He thought about it and realized that since even women were drinking, he couldn't afford to lose face.

With gritted teeth, he braced himself, picked up the large bowl, and downed it in one gulp!

To Zhou Tiancheng's horror, the moment the wine entered his throat, it transformed into a line of fire that instantly flowed into his stomach.

He hadn't even drunk it yet when his stomach started to hurt.

Eat some meat to calm down.

After only a couple of bites, Li Hua picked up the bowl again.

Zhou Tiancheng glanced at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi decisively chose to play dead.

There's nothing else I can do.

Zhou Tiancheng finished another bowl.

This made me a little confused.

As I recall, he seemed to have drunk another bowl.

When he regained consciousness, he was already in bed.

The chirping of insects could be heard outside, and the windows were completely dark, clearly indicating that it was nighttime.

Zhou Tiancheng had some difficulty breathing, feeling like Sun Wukong being trapped under the Five Elements Mountain.

He struggled to lift his head and look down, then froze completely.

To his left, Guli, wearing a small bib, was holding one of his arms and snoring softly.

On his right, Li Hua was completely naked, with a long, white leg placed on his stomach, making him feel uncomfortable all over!

Zhou Tiancheng struggled for a moment, and Li Hua seemed to sense it. The hand that was originally holding his neck directly hugged his head and pulled his head closer to her.

Zhou Tiancheng was dumbfounded.

He's a man!

When did you start sleeping in a woman's arms?

The key issue is that the smell isn't pleasant, and he can't quite put his finger on it, but for some reason, he thought of the muttony smell that General Shi had mentioned.

Is this the musky smell on Ms. Hu's body?

Zhou Tiancheng wanted to get out of this situation, but he didn't dare to make a move.

Because Li Hua wasn't wearing any clothes, the position of his face was really awkward!

"You're awake?"

Li Hua suddenly spoke, startling Zhou Tiancheng so much that he trembled all over.

Is this woman not asleep?

Li Hua smiled, released his grip, and continued speaking.

"You can't hold your liquor at all. You're not like a real man. There are still dishes to be served, and you've already passed out."

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't speak.

What the hell is this?!

He spoke with a slight stutter.

"What... what's going on? Why am I here?"

Li Hua looked completely at ease.

"This is a tradition of our Rong Kingdom. When we see a man we like, we go into his tent."

"Of course, this is my home. Since you don't have a tent, I'll have to drag you into my house."

Does the Rong state still have such a tradition?

Zhou Tiancheng had some doubts.

Li Hua, however, remained calm.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't really like you. You're too cunning and not sincere at all."

"But Guli is my good friend, and she said you're a nice person, so I dragged you into this."

Zhou Tiancheng leaned back, trying to get as far away from the woman as possible.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Li Hua thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I don't want to go back to Beirong. The capital of Daqian is very nice and lively. I want to stay in Daqian."

"If you were an ordinary person, my father wouldn't allow me to stay in Daqian, but you are the Crown Prince of Daqian, and I think you can persuade my father."

In return, I can be your woman.

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Zhou Tiancheng's hands, flipped him over, and pinned him beneath her.
