Chapter 197: My Dear Majesty, Please Let Go (27)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Baili Jue went silent for a while after she said because he was shocked, puzzled and confused.He observed her face for a while and found that she was not hiding or concealing from her clear eyes. He reached for her head and rubbed her hair finally.
Since she couldn"t tell him everything, he wouldn"t pry to the end, Baili Jue thought. Although he already had a feeling that Xia Liang was mystery, he had made up his mind to believer her and accept everything about her.
“Ahem, I am very happy.” Baili Jue coughed a bit, taking his hand back and said, “it is very helpful. Thank you! Xia Liang.”
“Great that it can be helpful.” Xia Liang smiled a bit as he was happy and explained more, “Exploitation of the Works of Nature tells techniques of agriculture, handicraft and manufacturing. It has a detailed introduction of weapon making. When I finish all of them, you can arrange Ministry of Works to work on it. There is also one book named Sun Tzu"s Art of War, which tells strategies and tactics of fights during a war. It would be very useful for you. And I will try my best to write them down as soon as possible and give it to you.”
Baili Jue"s heart was melt because how much she cared about him in such a way. There was no way he could doubt her who could do anything to harm him.
He was thrilled that she surprised him all the time.
At the moment, Xia Liang heard 9957"s voice in her mind. She gained 10 more points of trust. And now she had 65 points in total.
The correct way to win Baili Jue"s trust was to do things for him and open her heart to him as Xia Liang had antic.i.p.ated
“Liang, you don"t have to my queen. You can be my counselor.” Baili Jue said excitedly, pinching her cheek.
Baili Jue felt lucky to have Xia Liang, given the fact that she gave a lot of useful advices and these books.
“Then I will be your counsellor, not a queen.” Xia Liang said as if she didn"t care about it at all.
“No! No!” Baili Jue waved his finger at Xia Liang and whispered to her ears, “If you were my counselor, I wouldn"t be able to kiss you. Besides, after all those flirting poems and letters, are you sure you want to be my counselor? My counselor wouldn"t do those things in the letter with me. Only my queen could. Liang, now tell me. Do you want to be my queen or counselor? Huh?!”
Xia liang blushed at his words, thinking of the poems she had written him and what he had said,
"Then queen it is."
“Hahaha…” Baili Jue laughed and kissed her on the earlobe, “Liang, I love the way you are being honest.”
Xia Liang was either calm, or brutal, or shy in front him just like she genuinely was. She was absolutely honest and simple with her own feelings.
How could he not like or trust her?
After they made out a while, Baili Jue finally thought of that she must be tired of making book copies,
“I am not in a rush to read these books. So you don"t have to write those books in a rush. Do you understand?”
“Don"t worry. I won"t wear myself out.” Xia Liang could tell he was caring about her.
“I am not worrying about you. I am just worrying about you may make mistakes in the copies.” Baili Jue said.
“Don"t worry. I will be extra careful. I won"t make mistakes.” Xia Liang guaranteed.
“I said you will!” Baili Jue warned, “you are forbidden to handwrite no more than 15 pieces of paper, no, 10 pieces. Do you understand?!”
“But 10 pieces are not many. It will take a long time to finish the whole book.” Xia Liang argued.
“Xia Liang, are you the master or am I? Don"t disobey me! Do you hear me?” Baili Jue said, taking her in his arms and biting her in the ear.
“Yes, I do.” For the first time, Xia Liang felt helpless and funny at the same time. She pushed him away slightly when she heard the clock saying midnight,
“It"s getting late, master. You should go back and rest.”
Baili Jue let go of her ear and gave it another bite once she made him go, “once I go back, I will have to go to court, read reports and deal with national affairs. I won"t have time to see you. Don"t regret to rush me away.”
“I won"t. You have a country to run and I will have work to do. Such as copying books and finding out the woman.” Xia Liang said, “you don"t need to come to see me until you have solved problems with Baili Xi.”
Baili Jue was not happy at all about her words.
It would take him a long time to solve all the things. But it would be killing him not to see her for one day.
“No!” Baili Jue argues, “if I don"t see you, how could I know what is going on with your father? how could I know if he is working for me seriously? Besides, I have to keep an eye on you while you are copying those books in case you are behind schedule or make mistakes. I have to come here every three, no two days, no, every day, to supervise you in person. Don"t take it wrong. I come here not to see you. I come here for the country"s future.”
Baili Jue missed and liked her so much that he wished he could put her in a bag and take her everywhere he went.
But he refused to admit it. So he made such a lame excuse. What a proud and naïve action!
Xia Liang gave Baili Jue a suspicious and weird look, which embarra.s.sed and upset Baili Jue who blushed too. He argued,
“I am your master. Of course I mean what I say. No doubts or opinions are allowed! I am going now.”
