Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night! Chapter 74 - 68: Choose the Treasure or Your Life, Let Them
When Bai Susu heard Feng Qiwu say, "Even if you’re not Bai Susu," her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Goodness, you really know how to hypothesize.
Instantly, he guessed the truth!
But after hearing the latter part of Feng Qiwu’s sentence, all those chaotic thoughts vanished.
Feng Qiwu’s aning was clear. Compared to her outward identity, he cared more about her soul.
In other words, he likes her true self, Bai Susu!
This realization made the corners of Bai Susu’s mouth involuntarily curl up.
Then, with a lighthearted mood, she teased, "I know! But thankfully my body is sowhat helpful to you, otherwise who knows how much you’d suffer."
Feng Qiwu saw her face change from cloudy to sunny in an instant, realizing she indeed cared if he liked the original Bai Susu or the current her.
Who said won’s thoughts are hard to guess?
Isn’t this easy to guess and coax?
Thinking of this, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but smile and nod, "Hmm, it’s lucky I t you."
Saying this, he reached out and placed Bai Susu’s soft palm near his lips, gently planting a kiss on the back of her hand, his gaze devout and tender.
Clearly, it was a kiss devoid of any lust, yet it made Bai Susu’s heart race wildly.
This guy... is getting increasingly adept.
Clearly, it was a feather-light kiss, but it stirred her heart more than any of his previous intense kisses.
For a mont, Bai Susu couldn’t help but gaze at Feng Qiwu with eyes as gentle as water.
Feng Qiwu, upon receiving her gaze, couldn’t help but tense all his muscles.
With a breath caught, his large hand suddenly clasped the back of Bai Susu’s head.
The soft sounds of kissing soon echoed in the silent room.
Upon hearing the noises, Ling Han and Ling Xiao exchanged a glance without expression and quickly walked far away.
In their hearts, they were wholeheartedly impressed by Bai Susu.
She could even cure His Highness’s aversion to won; who else could be the Crown Princess Consort if not her?
And looking at His Highness’s current invested deanor, it was clear he was utterly captivated by the Crown Princess Consort.
In the past, they wouldn’t have dared to even imagine it.
Yet such a fantastical thing had now happened.
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the auspicious day predicted by the Astronomical Bureau for the engagent arrived, the first day of September.
Early in the morning, Bai Susu got up to start washing and dressing up.
Of course, when she got up, Feng Qiwu had just left.
Because he had to personally co over to present the betrothal gifts, he also had to quickly return to the Eastern Palace to prepare properly.
This ti, Bai Susu didn’t have Chuntao and Nuanxia deliberately make her look old-fashioned, but rather dressed as prettily as possible.
Once she was washed and dressed, a maid ca in from outside saying, "Miss, the Crown Prince is here. They’re currently announcing the betrothal gift list!"
Then she exclaid excitedly, "You have to see this; the Crown Prince’s gifts include many rare treasures, even the velvet peony from Zhou and the Flowing Clouds Robe from Xixia!"
Say no more, the velvet silk flowers from Zhou are well-known as exclusive to the Royal Family.
And that Flowing Clouds Robe from Xixia, it’s a national treasure passed down from a long, long ti ago, not only decorative but also a protective weapon.
Who would have thought that the Crown Prince could procure such precious items and send them to Miss?
Now, outside, those who heard about the betrothal gift list had their eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
Who could have thought that the Crown Prince would be so extraordinarily lavish?
...
Bai Susu was also surprised by the maid’s words.
She’s familiar with the velvet silk flowers from Zhou and the Flowing Clouds Robe from Xixia.
The original text specially noted their rarity.
Especially the Flowing Clouds Robe.
Later, it was personally gifted to Bai Wanwan by her admirer, the Prince of Xixia.
Bai Wanwan relied on this Flowing Clouds Robe to escape a fatal attack and a fire.
This thing, who knows what material it’s made of, but claims of being impervious to blades and immune to water and fire aren’t exaggerated.
But wasn’t the Flowing Clouds Robe the national treasure of Xixia, how did Feng Qiwu manage to obtain it?
Filled with curiosity, Bai Susu said to Chuntao and Nuanxia, "Let’s go out and have a look."
"Yes, Miss." the two imdiately responded.
They were incredibly curious about what other splendid items were in the Crown Prince’s betrothal gifts.
...
anwhile, Feng Qiwu was sitting with Pri Minister Bai in the front hall, drinking tea.
When Pri Minister Bai heard the Chief Eunuch announce the nas "Ziyun Soft Fragrance Gauze" and "Flowing Clouds Robe," the tea in his mouth instantly sprayed out.
Then he looked at Feng Qiwu in astonishnt, "Crown Prince... how did you get the Ziyun Soft Fragrance Gauze and the Flowing Clouds Robe?"
Everyone knows how stingy Northern Yue is, they pride themselves on the Ziyun Soft Fragrance Gauze, and even during the Grand Continent Congress, they would only give Great Qin a handkerchief-sized piece.
Yet the Crown Prince proposed with an entire bolt of Ziyun Soft Fragrance Gauze.
And that Flowing Clouds Robe...
This is Xixia’s one and only national treasure, although it can only be used by won, it is a powerful defensive item and is only passed to the Empress of Xixia.
But now, it was sohow obtained by the Crown Prince too.
He couldn’t have secretly robbed the Empress’s chambers of Xixia, could he?
Or stole from Northern Yue’s National Treasury?
Otherwise, why would these royal families willingly hand over such items?
...
Hearing Pri Minister Bai’s question, Feng Qiwu quietly sipped his tea and casually said, "Isn’t this simple? Offer them a choice between ’things or life’."
Pri Minister Bai: ...
He looked at Feng Qiwu with speechless incredulity, pausing for quite a while before saying, "You didn’t... kidnap mbers of these royal families, did you? Aren’t you afraid of provoking war?"
Feng Qiwu glanced at Pri Minister Bai with disdain.
But thinking that Pri Minister Bai is, after all, Bai Susu’s grandfather, he patiently explained, "Rest assured, Pri Minister, they initiated the trouble. Even if a war is provoked, it’s because the enemy struck first."
He wasn’t foolish enough to let the enemy have any leverage over him.
Pri Minister Bai, after listening to Feng Qiwu, finally let out a silent sigh of relief.
Even though Feng Qiwu had beco increasingly capricious over the years, seemingly flouting protocol, his intelligence was evidently unaffected.
Otherwise, how could a "robber" beco the victim?
Thus he nodded and said, "That’s good."
"However, you should still be more discreet. If Susu is resented, she could be in danger in the future," Pri Minister Bai reminded worriedly.
"Pri Minister, by becoming the Crown Princess Consort, Susu is destined not to be low-key," Feng Qiwu said at this point.
