Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 163 Proposal Ceremony

Tang Jingchen looked at her as she stood up for him in indignation, her cheeks puffed up with anger, and her little look was so adorable.

A warm feeling surged in his chest, and the fatigue from a busy day was relieved a little.

He reached out his hand, held her in his arms, and said in a gentle voice, "No matter how busy it is, it will only be a few days. It won't be long before we can return to the capital."

Xiao Guo'er's eyes, which were originally full of anger, suddenly became sparkling. She couldn't help but feel happy, and even her tone became cheerful. "Really? When are you leaving? I miss my elder sister, and I don't know how she is doing in Shangjing City."

"Once the villagers infected with the plague show signs of improvement, the Eighth Prince will write a memorial to inform His Majesty, and then wait for the Eighth Prince's imperial edict to be passed on to Huaiyang. The fastest time for this round trip is six days."

"That's great! I went to Shanglin Village today, and the old doctor said that the illnesses of many villagers have been brought under control, and they will improve in about two days."

"Well, it won't be long before we can return to Shangjing City, and then I can propose to your sister." Tang Jingchen looked at Xiao Guoer in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

Xiao Guoer's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if there was a bright moon hidden in them, shimmering and shining.

"You don't even have a proper proposal ceremony, I don't want to marry you!"

Tang Jingchen saw the little girl in his arms pouted her lips, revealing a delicate face that seemed neither angry nor angry, and he couldn't help but hugged her tighter.

"What is the marriage proposal ceremony?"

"Well... the proposal ceremony is... you hold flowers and a token of love in your hand, kneel on one knee under the fireworks, look at me with expectation and love, and ask me if I am willing to marry you."

Which girl doesn't want to have a romantic proposal ceremony? Even in this ancient time, Xiao Guoer doesn't want to have any regrets. With such a perfect boyfriend and a perfect proposal ceremony, her life will be perfect!

The imagined proposal ceremony emerged in Xiao Guoer's mind, and her eyes were full of hearts. She was immersed in a kind of floating anticipation.

Although Tang Jingchen had never heard of this so-called "proposal ceremony", he vaguely understood what she meant.

I don’t know how her little head could come up with such a passionate, bold and unprecedented scene.

But there is a little difficulty...

"Since ancient times, it is not reasonable for a man to kneel before a woman. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Xiao Guo'er was immersed in her fantasy, feeling so beautiful that she was bubbling with joy. Suddenly, she heard a depressing voice from above. The beautiful scene in her mind suddenly burst like a soap bubble.

She glared at her boyfriend who didn't understand romance and had old-fashioned ideas, her tone full of resentment, "It's only once in a lifetime! Aren't you willing to compromise for me? I'm asking you to kneel on one knee, not both kneel? Besides, you asked me to marry you, so what's wrong with kneeling? If you don't want to, forget it! I don't have to marry you! Humph!"

At the end of the conversation, the little girl pouted angrily, as if she had suffered a great injustice. While she was speaking, she was trying to break free from Tang Jingchen's embrace.

When Tang Jingchen saw that the little girl was unhappy, he immediately softened his voice and humbly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say! Whatever you say, it's up to you!"

At the same time, he thought to himself that he must clear out all the people within a two-mile radius and never let outsiders see him kneeling!

Seeing that the little girl in his arms no longer struggled in his arms, he continued softly, "As long as you can marry me, you can ask me to do anything! Even if you ask me to pick stars for you, I will immediately build a ladder to pick them for you."

The man's voice carried a hint of doting and helplessness, causing the little girl in his arms to chuckle, her delicate body shaking slightly because of the laughter.

The man felt her happiness, and his heart was also filled with joy. He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms. Her eyes, as bright as stars, were shining with charming light. He couldn't help but lower his head and swallowed the shining starlight, along with a delicate exclamation and a slight gasp that made his scalp tingle, one by one.

After a moment, Xiao Guoer hurriedly ran out of Tang Jingchen's room with messy steps.

She put her hands on her hot cheeks and pursed her slightly swollen lips, as if the feeling of the man's soft and strong lips and teeth touching her lips just now, which was not to be ignored and made her heart tremble for no reason, was still lingering.

What? He usually looks like a gentle and modest gentleman, but I didn't expect that he would have such a strong side in private!

Does this mean that all men have innate talents and leadership abilities in matters of love between men and women?

What was she thinking about? Xiao Guoer shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of all the messy images in her mind that needed to be blurred.

Oh, why is it so hot today? It makes her upset!

Someone will never admit that his restlessness is caused by his love affair!

Two days later, good news about the plague arrived as expected. After treating half of the patients with milder symptoms and seeing significant improvement, the old doctor concluded with certainty that the culprit of the plague was the corpses of bats.

At this point, the people of Huaiyang were grateful to God and praised the Eighth Prince for his wisdom and love for the people. They revered the Eighth Prince as a savior, and even children on the street knew about the Eighth Prince's deeds.

The eighth prince Zhao Yunrong also wrote a memorial, reporting the situation in Huaiyang to the emperor truthfully.

After that, they waited for the emperor's order. As soon as the order came, they could set off.

Xiao Guoer went shopping again these two days when she had nothing to do and bought some odds and ends. She thought that she couldn't go back empty-handed after a long journey, so she had to bring some things back for Yingniang, Yueya, Zhou Pozi and Tangxi.

In the past two days, Tang Jingchen was still very busy. She spent most of her time alone. In addition to shopping, she was called to the study by the Eighth Prince twice to grind ink for him.

Of course she was reluctant, but it seemed not worth it to find an excuse to shirk responsibility because of such a small matter and thus anger the moody Eighth Prince.
