Qi Sheng did not show up for several days until May 19th. On that day, the Emperor, Imperial Consorts, the Empress Dowager, along with the whole imperial family went to Fuping Villa Palace to enjoy the cool. So Qi had had no other option but to take me on the trip.

The Bathroom Lord, Tree-climbing Lord, and the little lady who deceived me to catch adultery that night, all came to join the tour group except Zhao Wang and his wife. It was said that Jiang shi was still bedridden, so the wife-loving Zhao had been taking care of her around the clock in his palace, and refused to follow his father to take the holiday.

As the emperor understood the son's affection to Jiang shi, he just asked Zhao to stay in Shengdu and help with the official affairs while accompanying his wife.

However, Jiang's absence made Qi's face somewhat clouded.

People had been casting me looks filled with sympathy.

So I had to play along and pretended to be sad.

During the journey, He Bingze was in charge of the royal escort, and from time to time he rode past me along with some handsome riders. "clip-clop, clip-clop" the horses' hooves were like stepping on the hearts of the ladies, left the minds of my maids filled with stirring fantasies.

But I was irritated by the noise, even with some resentment in my heart. Imagine if I could have the physique, wearing the uniform and armor, galloping the horse with the waving whip, I could easily attract the eyes of the beautiful young ladies, hmm, that would be wonderful!

Once the idea arose in my mind, I felt more suffocated in the car. Actually, Nan Xia, the dynasty I transmigrated in, was quite liberated and open, women here were free to ride a horse as they pleased. I simply had no confidence in my riding skills, that being the case, I didn't venture to go out to lose my face.

When I was hesitating, there came yet another light sound of the hoofs outside the carriage, but it slowed down when passing me. Then I heard a crisp voice calling from outside: "Crown princess, Crown princess!"

I was rendered speechless by this appellation and I got goose bumps like when I was suffering constipated.

Lv Li took a glance at me and quickly pulled up the curtain for me.

Princess Chaoyang's flowery little face appeared. She grinned and said, "The scenery outside is charming. Don't just sitting inside, come out and ride with me please!"

I looked up at the sky outside unconsciously. The weather was really nice, clear blue and white being the sky view. I didn't know what tricks the little girl was playing this time. Since Jiang Shi didn't come, would it be the case that Qi Sheng was hooking up with other brother's wife in the front of the troop?

The little beauty still smiled at me: "My sister, just come out quickly. It's not easy for us to hang out. It's so boring to be stuck in the carriage all day!"

I had no resistance to beautiful ladies. Although I knew that this girl was up to no good, her soft words made me weak, even my bones felt melted for the moment. So I responded quickly, "Wait for a moment, I'll change my clothes and go out!"

Outside, the little beauty shouted, "OK, I'll ask them to prepare a horse for you."

As I was changing my clothes inside, I shouted, "Why do I need another horse? I can ride the same one with you."

Lv Li quickly tidied up my clothes, but she lowered her voice and said, "Watch out for her."

I nodded, lifted my boots and pulled up the curtain to get out.

The carriage hadn't stopped yet. The little lady rode alongside me, smiled and reached out to me: "Princess, don't ask them to stop. I'll just pull you up to my horseback."
