"Got it!" Qi Hongzhi stood up and went to the pleasure boat.
Qi Haoxuan looked at Tianmiao and smiled awkwardly, "Tiantian, I’m sorry, you got to witness this joke. My niece really is so insensible."
"But the Prince is very nice," Tianmiao smiled.
Qi Haoxuan felt as sweet as if he’d drunk honey.
However, his good mood was soon ruined by the noise at the door.
"Qi Hongzhi, let go of me! I’m your sister!" A piercing female voice was ear-splitting.
Then they saw Qi Hongzhi dragging someone inside. The person was dressed like a man, but with red lips and white teeth, and even the earrings were still on—it was clear she was cross-dressing.
The newcomer was making a scene but stopped abruptly once she saw Qi Haoxuan there.
"What are you fussing about outside for? Want them to dance another song for you? Based on what?" Qi Haoxuan reprimanded impatiently.
"Based on the fact I’m the Commandery Princess of Pingle! For me, it would be an honor for them to dance another song!" The Commandery Princess of Pingle raised her chin and said arrogantly.
"Then I’ll go to the palace later and tell the emperor brother to strip you of your title," Qi Haoxuan replied coolly.
"Nineteenth Uncle, you can’t do that!" The Commandery Princess was startled and scared, "Nineteenth Uncle, you weren’t like this before."
"What was I like?" Qi Haoxuan responded impatiently, "Even when I asked them to dance again, I still paid for it. You refused to pay and still had such a poor attitude. What’s the deal? Is your face bigger than mine?"
The Commandery Princess lowered her head and dared not speak.
"Get back. If you want to have fun, go out and play. When did your father restrict you from going out? And why dress as a man, ending up neither man nor woman? Do you think everyone is an idiot and can’t see you’re a girl?" Qi Haoxuan harshly criticized without giving face, "Get back immediately."
The Commandery Princess left, looking dejected.
After the Commandery Princess left, Qi Hongzhi couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Nineteenth Uncle, only you can handle her. She’s so domineering at home; even her father can’t control her. She always acts imperiously with me. But look at her just now, she was... uh, look at her just now; she didn’t dare say a word." Qi Hongzhi wanted to say she didn’t dare utter a word but quickly changed his phrasing upon meeting Qi Haoxuan’s deadly gaze.
"Alright, let’s not talk about her. Think about where to take Tiantian to have fun tomorrow," Qi Haoxuan said.
"Hey, Nineteenth Uncle, how about we go boating on the lake? It’s the Moon Lake, twenty miles outside the city," Qi Hongzhi’s eyes lit up with the idea.
"Alright, prepare for it tomorrow. Don’t you have an estate nearby?" Qi Haoxuan asked.
"Yes, we’ll hunt in the morning and go boating in the afternoon," Qi Hongzhi said cheerfully, "There are some small prey near my estate. We can roast them on the spot; it’ll be quite a treat."
"Good, it’s settled then," Qi Haoxuan nodded.
Tianmiao, listening beside them, mused that humans truly know how to enjoy themselves. Thinking of those human employees at the Heavenly Dao Office, tirelessly working like dogs, they still found ways to enjoy themselves during missions across various worlds. Like that time in Tang Wanwan’s world, the previous employees amassed a great fortune without knowing how they enjoyed it.
"Tiantian, tomorrow I’ll prepare a mild-mannered mare for you, so we can go hunting together," Qi Haoxuan bragged.
Tianmiao smiled and agreed.
At this moment, Qi Haoxuan still hadn’t realized the big mess he was getting himself into.
