Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

***Although the tone was calm, everyone could feel that it was an attempt to accuse him!

Qin Shuangyu frowned slightly and replied, "The princess is only in her twenties, which is the prime of her youth. I am already over twenty-six years old, so how could I think that the princess is old?"

"Is it…"

*** still did not comment. Seeing the man's solemn expression, she could not help but tease him a little and said with a playful smile: "In this case, I have something to ask you. Come with me."

After saying that, *** turned and walked towards the area in the distance where the generals and other officers were, obviously convinced that Qin Shuangyu would follow.

Qin Shuangyu was stunned for a while, and the soldiers looked at each other. The people close to him whispered in surprise: "Could it be that *** has taken a fancy to you?"

Qin Shuangyu subconsciously shook his head to deny: "No."

But after saying this, he himself was a little confused. If it wasn't for this, he had no connection with the princess, why would the princess want to find him? If it was this... it was too unbelievable...

"Anyway, hurry up and follow me! It's a serious crime to disobey orders!"

The people around him pushed him anxiously. In Daxia, if the ruler wants his subjects to die, the subjects dare not disobey. The ruler refers to the emperor, but to a certain extent, the royal family, as the emperor's family, is also the ruler, and can call the wind and rain in front of the subjects. This is also a manifestation of imperial power.

Qin Shuangyu's eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking. His expression became more solemn, and finally he took a step forward and followed.

*** did not slow down to wait for him, but he was tall and had long legs, so he took big strides and soon caught up with him.

*** didn't look back, but noticed someone following her. She raised her lips and smiled, then led the person straight into her tent.

"All of you get out." *** ordered the maids in the tent.

The maids were immediately shocked. Was this... a man and a woman alone in the same room? However, as slaves, they did not dare to question it. They just stepped back hesitantly.

Qin Shuangyu frowned, took a few steps back to the door, and said, "I shouldn't stay alone in the tent, so as not to damage the reputation of His Highness."

"I have become notorious since I killed my fiancé. What good reputation can I have to lose?"

*** sneered disapprovingly and signaled the maid walking at the end to lower the curtain.

Qin Shuangyu was stunned again. Daxia was based on the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues and Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Women who didn't care about their reputation were almost rare.

He didn't say anything, and *** was in no hurry to start a conversation. She looked the man in front of her up and down with an undisguised look.

Daxia values ​​literature, and women prefer thin, scholarly, and refined men. ***yuan also feels that he likes that type.

The man in front of me had a tough face, a typical military appearance, not rough, but definitely far from the popular scholar appearance...

He was also a martial artist, tall and strong. He must have been a little hot from drinking. He pulled one side of his outer robe down to his waist, and you could see the firm and full muscles on his arms and chest...

Qin Shuangyu originally avoided looking at the princess, but after being silent for a long time, he turned to look at the princess curiously.

When he found that the princess was looking at his body with burning eyes, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over! Subconsciously, he pulled up his sleeves and quickly put on his clothes!

The effect was immediate, as if to take back the gaze he had swallowed.

*** laughed playfully and finally got straight to the point: "Originally you could win the competition, right?"

Qin Shuangyu opened his lips slightly, then kept silent. He didn't know how much of what everyone said when they were drinking just now, and he couldn't insist that he was inferior to others.

Seeing that he didn't reply, the *** continued, "The man who won the championship is a bastard from an aristocratic family. He has fine clothes and delicious food but a humble status. If he can become a prince consort, he will immediately be able to hold his head high in the family, so he is determined to win the championship."

"He bribed the opponents in every game with a large sum of money... and he also had people contact you."

Qin Shuangyu was a little surprised and wondered how she knew so much.

*** asked with a half-smile: "Do you think I'm just wandering around the barracks every day?"

"I have not accepted any bribe. Your Highness can send someone to search." Qin Shuangyu said frankly.

"Even if you didn't take it, you agreed to it."

*** continued: "That person is not incompetent, but judging from his reputation, he would definitely not be in the top ten."

"But because he was born into a noble family, he was a lieutenant when he joined the army. Now, relying on his family's wealth and taking advantage of opportunities, he has become a deputy general..."

"Are you willing to accept that someone inferior to you is above you?"

Qin Shuangyu's eyes flickered and his expression was very complicated, but overall, he was unwilling.

"Seeing your generous appearance, you probably don't care much about money... You want to make achievements, right? Otherwise, why would you participate in the competition?"

Qin Shuangyu remained silent.

*** snorted and laughed: "Are you a taciturn person?"

Walking closer, *** looked at him with ambitious eyes: "Why do you want to give up the championship? If you win the championship, you will be promoted to captain immediately!"

"Why don't you want to become my husband? Once you become my husband, you will be able to rise to the top! It's not long before you become a general! It's not just a pipe dream to become a great general!"

Qin Shuangyu slightly raised his head to look away, paused, and then said softly: "Isn't that also taking advantage of the situation?"

"Humph... there is a shortcut. How many people in the world would not take shortcuts?"

***'s tone seemed to mock his honesty, but his eyes were full of appreciation.

But Qin Shuangyu didn't look at her and responded with silence again.

*** changed the subject and said, "Bribing others to gain a position that does not match one's own abilities is a form of speculation that should be despised. But you have talents, so it is only natural that you should be in a higher position."

Qin Shuangyu was puzzled and evaded the question: "I am just a rough man who knows a little about swords and fists... Why does Your Highness think so highly of me?"

*** moved closer to him again, until he was so close that he could even vaguely feel the other person's breath. Qin Shuangyu had to take a step back.

She said quietly, "There are leading sheep in a flock of sheep, leading horses in a herd of horses, and among a group of children, there will also be children who can dominate among their peers, even without regard to their background."

“Some people are born extraordinary. As long as they can stand on a high position, they can impress others. If they raise their arms and call for help, others will follow them through fire and water, and through life and death.”

Although he wasn't looking at her, Qin Shuangyu could still feel her gaze at him... His Adam's apple rolled, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, do you think I am such a person?"

"You are such a person." *** affirmed.

Qin Shuangyu frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Feel."

Her tone was certain, and before he could question her again, she said proudly, "Because I am that kind of person."

Seeing his surprised expression, she chuckled and then said, "I have seen the native place file you signed when you joined the army. Ordinary people are illiterate and usually just put their fingerprints on it and have someone else write it for them."

"You have a very good handwriting. The handwriting of those ghostwriters is not as good as yours. It shows that you have a lot of knowledge and are not just a fool."

Qin Shuangyu fell silent again, his expression complicated, revealing solemnity and resistance.

But he basically had this expression after entering the big tent. I just thought he was resisting someone from secretly knowing his true identity.

With a chuckle, the *** continued to persuade: "Your talent is obvious from the moment you join the army. However, due to your peasant family background, you can only start as a soldier. In peacetime, you have no chance to gain military merit. It is rare for ordinary people to be promoted to centurion in a year and a half."

"But you've also seen that the starting points of those children from aristocratic families are even higher than the pinnacle you've struggled to achieve so far!"

"Moreover, they will become obstacles to your continued advancement! There are only a limited number of positions to move up, and they are all occupied by various noble families. No matter how outstanding you are, it is difficult to resist the influence of their family power!"

"In this competition, you were promoted to captain of a thousand men... But forgive me for being frank. If there were no war and you made great achievements, your career would have almost come to an end. You can only waste time in the army until you are old enough, and finally retire and return home!"
