After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

It was two days later before the marriage was finalized. During these two days, Su Qinchao followed Gao Zhili and others to negotiate with the Japanese ministers.

Only then did they realize that the Japanese emperor had no princesses of the right age, and the so-called princesses for marriage were just selected from the daughters of generals. This was a familiar routine.

I don’t know what these two princesses looked like. Su Qinchao still remembers that when he was reading the history of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, the emperor of Japan once presented two princesses to Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and he enjoyed them happily that night.

When he wanted to favor her again the next day, the Japanese princess actually followed Japanese customs and dyed her teeth black.

Li Zhi was so frightened that he fled in panic, and afterwards he ordered his men to send the Japanese princess to the cold palace.

Thinking of this, Su Qinchao went to Gao Zhili in private to talk about this matter, hoping that he would find a chance to inform the two princesses to avoid making a fool of himself this time.

Not to mention scaring the emperor, the princesses are only in their teens. If they are disliked by the emperor, it would be pitiful for them to grow old in the deep palace.

"Is it really so?" Gao Zhili was extremely surprised after hearing this. No wonder some older dancers had black teeth.

He hadn't thought about it in detail at that time, but now after listening to Su Qinchao's explanation, he realized that this was the custom of Japanese women after marriage.

"You'll know if you go and ask. How can I still try to fool you?" Anyway, Su Qinchao had handed the matter over to Gao Zhili, so he didn't care how he handled it.

He will set off tomorrow, and he has to use the remaining half day to buy local specialties and the cosmetics that Princess Yucheng asked him to buy.

The next morning, they returned by ship. In addition to the envoys from the two countries, the two princesses and their attendants also returned to Dawu.

As for the Buddhist masters like Shi Qiyi, they will stay in Japan temporarily to exchange Buddhist teachings and will return to Dawu in the early spring of next year.

The return trip was smoother than the trip here, with calm seas all the way, not to mention a storm.

There wasn't even a slightly bigger wave, and it took only more than 20 days to return to Dawu with the wind.

They stayed at the estuary for two days to rest and replenish supplies, and it took some more time to reach Chang'an via the canal.

By the time they entered Chang'an, it was already early summer.

The sun was shining brightly one moment, and it was raining heavily the next.

The group was soaked halfway through the journey, and only the two Japanese princesses sitting in the carriage survived.

Fortunately, the Honglu Temple was just two streets away, so everyone had to quicken their pace in the rain to get the two princesses into the Honglu Temple as quickly as possible.

After handing over the work with the officials of the Honglu Temple, Su Qinchao did not go to the palace with Gao Zhili to report.

He went straight back to Su's house with Guanqi, carrying his things. He had to draw the bird's-eye view map as soon as possible and hand it over to Princess Yucheng.

But that’s all later. When the two of them arrived at Su’s house, the rain had stopped and the sky was clear.

If the ground wasn't still wet, there would be no sign of rain.

"Daddy!" Little Tangyuan and little Tangbao were playing in the water in the front yard. When they saw Su Qinchao coming in, the two little guys jumped excitedly and asked him to hold them.

"Daddy will change his clothes and come back to play with you guys, okay?" Su Qin nodded to everyone one by one, ordered Guanqi to send all the things to the study, and then walked around the two children and went back to his room.

When he entered the room, Yunniang was sitting in front of the dressing table, asking Bier Yuer to draw for her the most popular makeup in Chang'an this year.

At this moment, she was just drawing the eyebrows of distant mountains. Su Qinchao startled her and Bier's hand trembled, so she drew directly to her temples.

"Oh, it's ruined. I just finished one side with great difficulty!" Yu'er looked at the left side of Yunniang with regret. The distant mountain eyebrow had already been painted, and it took him a long time to succeed.

"Go and get some water quickly. Your husband is soaked and needs a bath!" Yunniang didn't care about this. She wiped it briefly with a handkerchief and was about to go forward to help Su Qinchao take off his wet clothes.

"The fish is still here!" Su Qinchao grabbed Yunniang's hand, pinched her fingertips carefully, and chatted for a while. After Bier ordered someone to prepare hot water, he took people to the bathroom next door.

"Help me wash, okay?" Su Qinchao, with his chest bare, hugged Yunniang and whispered in her ear.

He was idle on the ship for more than a month and he wanted to do something bad.

"I got it. Go wash!" Yunniang pushed him away with a red face. She knew what her husband wanted. This man was not serious whenever he was alone with her.

The two played in the bathroom for a long time. When Su Qinchao finally calmed down, he carried the exhausted Yunniang back to the room.

Just as he was about to lie on the couch and chat with Yunniang, he saw two little cannonballs rushing in, staring at him angrily.

Oh no, Su Qinchao secretly said, he forgot that he had promised to play with the two little guys.

He quickly got up from the couch, picked up the two little people in each hand and went to the yard.

"How about this? It's fun, right?" Su Qinchao handed the toys he brought back from Japan to the two little people, and then carried them around several times one by one before coaxing them into silence.

"Daddy, I want to fly again!"

"Okay, Daddy will carry you and fly!"
