Chapter 332: Her Highness the Princess, Your Illness Can Only Be Cured by One Person

On the third day after returning to the imperial capital, the Frost Princeʼs residence had already been prepared for Xiao Mo.

The Qin Kingdom’s ruler had even sent Xiao Mo a group of well-trained palace maids who had just entered the palace.

Xiao Mo didnʼt need to worry about anything. These maids would handle everything for him.

Xiao Mo had originally wanted to bring his mother to live at the Frost Princeʼs residence but Zhou Ruoxi refused.

In Zhou Ruoxiʼs view, her child had indeed made something of himself, but no matter what, she was still a daughter-in-law of the Xiao Manor. How could there be any reason for her to move out of the Xiao Manor?

Even after Zhou Ruoxi was granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, when the Xiao Manor wanted to give Zhou Ruoxi a larger courtyard and add more maids, Zhou Ruoxi refused it all, feeling that her current life was quite good.

Regarding his motherʼs insistence, Xiao Mo couldnʼt really say much.

Xiao Mo knew that in his motherʼs eyes, no matter how great his achievements were, it was all the same. His mother only hoped he would be safe and sound, and only wanted to live a peaceful life. However, since his mother wouldnʼt leave the Xiao Manor, Xiao Mo would often go visit her.

On the seventh day after returning to the capital.

Counting the years of training in the Iron Tiger Army camp and fighting abroad, Xiao Moʼs service period in the Iron Tiger Army had now reached seven years.
At this time, Xiao Mo, along with Zhao Wei and the others, no longer needed to report to the Iron Tiger Army camp.

Because Zhao Wei and the others had participated in the great war that destroyed the Wei Kingdom and had performed valiantly, they were gradually assigned to the Imperial Guards and other major armies as military officers.

Only Xiao Mo was still ”idling about” every day, waiting for his new position but Xiao Mo was in no hurry.

He believed that the Qin Kingdom’s ruler would definitely not let him remain in the imperial capital indefinitely, retiring at barely twenty years of age.

He just needed to wait.

Before he knew it, another month had passed.

During this time, quite a few court officials had visited Xiao Mo.

Moreover, most of these officials came to propose marriage matches for Xiao Mo.

In these ministersʼ eyes, Xiao Mo was talented in both civil and military affairs, handsome and outstanding. Not to mention that at such a young age he had been granted a princely title, and His Majesty clearly intended to place him in important positions.

So who wouldnʼt want to make Xiao Mo their son-in-law?

Of course, there were also quite a few ministers who were self-aware, knowing that Xiao Mo might not necessarily fancy their daughters, and felt there was no need to approach Xiao Mo about marriage but helplessly, their own daughters kept insisting they would ”marry no one but the Frost Prince.”

These fathers felt quite helpless in their hearts. However, Xiao Mo naturally refused all these ministersʼ marriage proposals but before long, Xiao Mo discovered that people frequently threw letters into his residence.

These letters were all expressions of admiration from young ladies of noble families.

Whenever Xiao Mo stepped out of his residence, he could see quite a few young ladies hiding in street corners or secretly watching him from somewhere.

Usually at times like this, Qin Siyao, who frequently came to find Xiao Mo, would collect all those love letters and throw them all away!

If someone was secretly watching Xiao Mo, Qin Siyao would move even closer to Xiao Mo, then glare at the other person and chase them away but in Qin Siyaoʼs heart, she still felt uneasy.

More and more people were proposing marriage to Xiao Mo. What if Xiao Mo really took a liking to some woman?

No matter what, Xiao Mo was a hot-blooded young man. What if some shameless woman seduced him and he couldnʼt resist the temptation?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Qin Siyao became.

Qin Siyao even wished she could lock Xiao Mo tightly by her side.

Moreover, Qin Siyao discovered that ever since that night when she and Xiao Mo had enjoyed the night scenery together, something had become strange about her.

Namely, when she ate, she would think of Xiao Mo.

When she bathed, she would think of Xiao Mo.

When she slept, she would think of Xiao Mo.

It seemed that no matter what she did, she would think of Xiao Mo.

Even if she didnʼt see Xiao Mo for a period of time, she would feel empty inside, as if something was missing but when Xiao Mo appeared before her, even if Xiao Mo did nothing, she would feel very happy.

Qin Siyao felt as if she had fallen ill, an illness where without Xiao Mo, she didnʼt know how to go on living...

On this day, as usual, Qin Siyao went to Xiao Moʼs residence.

Qin Siyao had personally made some pastries that she wanted to give to Xiao Mo but when Qin Siyao had just entered the Frost Princeʼs residence, she saw Xiao Mo laughing and chatting with several young ladies of noble families.

Seeing Xiao Mo joking around with these women, Qin Siyao felt a sour feeling in her heart. Her heart felt as if it were being tightly bound by silk ribbons. The girl turned and ran outside.

Returning to her own residence, Qin Siyao ran straight into her room, threw herself on the bed, and kept pounding the quilt with her small pink fists, continuously shouting, ”Stinky Xiao Mo! Lecherous Xiao Mo!”

The maid Huasheng, seeing that Her Highness the Princess seemed very unhappy, walked into the room and asked gently, ”Whatʼs wrong with Her Highness the Princess? Who made you angry?”

”No one!” Qin Siyao said.

Qin Siyao sniffled and turned her head away.

”Really no one?” Huasheng smiled. ”Let me guess. It must be Young Master Xiao who made Her Highness the Princess angry.”

Hearing her thoughts exposed, Qin Siyaoʼs delicate body trembled slightly. Her small hands pinched her skirt, and her thin lips pressed tightly together.

”Really now, how dare Young Master Xiao make my princess angry? Iʼm going to find His Majesty to have a good talk with him! Punish him!” With that, Huasheng pretended to be angry and made as if to leave the room.

”Sister Huasheng, donʼt tell Father Emperor. This really isnʼt Xiao Moʼs fault...” Qin Siyao quickly grabbed Huasheng, as if afraid that Father Emperor would really punish Xiao Mo.

”Itʼs really not Young Master Xiaoʼs fault?” Huasheng sat down beside Qin Siyao.

”Mm-hmm.”

Qin Siyao nodded, lowering her delicate head and speaking quietly.

”Just now when I went to Xiao Moʼs residence, I just saw quite a few flirtatious women surrounding him. For some reason, I felt sour inside and very uncomfortable and itʼs not just this one time, Every time someone proposes marriage to Xiao Mo, I worry about this and that, afraid that Xiao Mo will agree.

Clearly I know this isnʼt my business. Itʼs normal for Xiao Mo to get married but Iʼm just unhappy. I donʼt want other women to get close to him. Sister Huasheng, am I... ill?”

Hearing Qin Siyaoʼs words, Huasheng was slightly stunned. She looked at Qin Siyao as if looking at a fool, then said with feigned seriousness, ”Her Highness the Princess, you are indeed ill, and quite seriously!”

”Eh?” Qin Siyao blinked. ”Then Iʼll go see the imperial physician right now.”

”Oh my, Her Highness the Princess, itʼs no use,” Huasheng said, pressing Qin Siyao back down. ”Her Highness the Princess, your illness can only be cured by one person.”

”Who?” Qin Siyao asked.

”Naturally, itʼs Xiao Mo.”

Huasheng covered her mouth and laughed softly, gently tapping the girlʼs fair and tender brow.

”Her Highness the Princessʼs illness is called ʼfalling in love.ʼ

The only prescription is called ʼgrowing old together.ʼ”
