The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 435 - 434: Looks a Bit Difficult

The interaction between the two was so natural, harmonious, rhythmic... Even when asking to see a drawing, the cooperation between them had a unique flavor.

Jun Ning asked Ye Ying to draw it out for a look, and he did just that.

But usually, when ordinary people draw, they follow their own ideas, and without verbal explanation, others might not understand.

Only Ye Ying’s drawing, which was made according to Jun Ning’s desires, was clear, clean, and concise. With just a few strokes, he captured the essence.

Moreover, no explanation was needed, Jun Ning understood it at a glance.

"So, Ye Ying, your strategy means integrating offense and defense; advancing while minimizing our losses, right?"

Ye Ying nodded, "Precisely."

Their question and answer also seemed to show complete understanding of each other’s thoughts and concerns. This made Qi Xiao very uneasy, with a bit of fear in his heart.

Afraid that Jun Ning might be taken away by Ye Ying.

Under this mindset, he clung to Jun Ning even more, initially sitting beside Jun Ning helping her grind ink, now clutching her sleeve, showing a dependency he couldn’t hide.

Ye Ying looked at Qi Xiao’s hand gripping Jun Ning’s sleeve, anger rising uncontrollably, wishing to kick him out with one foot.

It infuriated him.

Jun Ning, however, did not sense their anger, nor did she mind Qi Xiao holding her sleeve. Qi Xiao had liked clinging to her sleeve since childhood and continued into adulthood, but she didn’t mind.

She continued to look at the blueprint Ye Ying had drawn and said, "The arrows Xiao Er improved can also be used this time."

Ye Ying had heard of the improved arrows but still felt concerned, "Ah Ning, they haven’t been used in battle before, is it too risky?"

Jun Ning: "Everything has a first time, and we can’t avoid using them just because of risks. Moreover, after these arrows were made, they underwent many experiments by many people, no issues, can be used."

Jun Ning also understood weaponry and had personally seen the improved arrows, which were genuinely very good.

The Minister of Ministry of Industry and the Minister of War did a very good job on this task, showing clear dedication.

Hearing this, Ye Ying didn’t say much more. "If that’s the case, then I’ll follow Ah Ning’s lead, use the formation, and the improved bows and arrows."

"Alright. It’s decided." Jun Ning reached out and patted Ye Ying’s shoulder. "These days, I’ll rely on you to rehearse the battle formation."

"It’s no trouble. I will give it my all." Ye Ying smiled at Jun Ning, "However, Ah Ning, these years you’ve grown a lot taller but also much thinner than a few years ago. You must have had a tough time, right?"

"At first, it felt tough, but I got used to it, and now it’s not so bad."

"Oh..." Ye Ying said, "In that case, I won’t say much more. I’ll go and help practice the formation."

"Alright."

After Ye Ying left, Jun Ning finally looked at the hand gripping her sleeve, still tightly holding on with no intention to let go, even after Ye Ying had left.

Jun Ning asked somewhat puzzled, "Xiao Er, what’s wrong with you today? Why so clingy?"

"I..." Qi Xiao pursed his lips, wanting to ask Jun Ning what feelings she truly had towards Ye Ying, whether there was any romantic connection, but he wasn’t sure he would get the answer he desired, hesitated a few times, and didn’t ask directly.

He thought for a moment and asked indirectly, "Crown Prince, after this battle, if we win, when we return, we might have to marry. What are your thoughts on this marriage?"

"..." Jun Ning didn’t expect Qi Xiao to suddenly ask this. Did he have someone he loved? Was he subtly expressing this to her?

Thinking of this, Jun Ning asked, "So, you don’t like this marriage?"

"No..." Qi Xiao said, "I just want to know your thoughts."

Just want to know her thoughts? But not saying his own thoughts, with an intention to avoid answering directly.

Clearly not that looking forward to this marriage.

Jun Ning sighed deeply and said bluntly, "The marriage between you and me was settled the moment you were born. It’s known throughout the country, and regardless of how we see it, we must fulfill the marriage, with no room for choice."

Jun Ning stated it clearly.

No other meaning, just informing Qi Xiao that regardless of whom he loves, he cannot escape this marriage and hopes he can understand and see it clearly.

He can like whoever he wants, but keep it to himself, don’t say it openly to embarrass her, and don’t make it difficult for her.

She is now the Crown Prince, not just her simple self.

And their marriage has long been a state affair, not just personal feelings, and can’t change casually.

They inevitably have to marry.

However, if Qi Xiao truly has someone he likes. After they marry in name, she can think of a way to fulfill Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao thought Jun Ning’s words meant she fundamentally didn’t agree with or like the marriage with him, returning to marry him was merely following orders, with no choice.

He felt a sour ache in his heart, very uncomfortable, impulsively, feeling almost like crying.

"Alright, Xiao Er understands." Qi Xiao released Jun Ning’s sleeve, stood up, "Xiao Er will go to work."

Qi Xiao left.

Jun Ning watched his departing figure, feeling Qi Xiao seemed to have something on his mind, and it wasn’t just ordinary heavy thoughts.

Speculating a little, maybe he truly had someone he liked and really didn’t want to marry her.

Sigh...

What to do?

How should she tell Qi Xiao that their marriage must be fulfilled in appearance, and as for after marriage, they can forego the reality of being husband and wife, and she can find a way to fulfill Qi Xiao.
