Xi Xingjiang: “Hahaha!”
Lin Jingyuan: “Ahhhhh I’ll kill you!”
The two rode quickly and soon overtook the entire convoy. After a while, there were sounds of horseshoes rumbling. When the trio looked back, it was the Crown Prince who was chasing after them.
A spark of glee flashed in Lin Jinyuan’s eyes when he heard Lin Qing called sternly. “Xingjiang! Don’t mess around! Fifth Sister is young, put her down!”
Xi Xingjiang did not want to embarrass the Crown Prince. He pouted, pulled the rein, and stopped the horse.
Lin Feilu was so blown away by the cold wind that her mind turned blank.
Her face was frozen in place.
She would not complain about sitting in the carriage anymore, the carriage was fine, really.
After dismounting, Xi Xingjiang helped Lin Feilu get down. He was immediately surrounded by Lin Qing and Lin Jingyuan who took Lin Feilu away. The two of them expressed their concerns and were finally relieved knowing that she was only freezing and it was not a major problem.
Xi Xingjiang watched the two obsessive brothers showering Lin Feilu with concern with a green foxtail in his mouth and then slowly spoke. “I just took her for a horseback ride and the two princes already can’t stand it. Would you kill me if I had wanted to marry her?”
Lin Feilu: “?”
Lin Qing: “?”
Lin Jingyuan strode over to him angrily, “Who do you want to marry??? I will strangle you, you shameless person!!!”
Xi Xingjiang rolled his eyes as Lin Jingyuan strangled him.
It was not that he could not beat Lin Jingyuan, but his aunt warned him against causing trouble and not to create conflict with the princes before he came. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to go on any trips in the future.
Xi Xingjiang could only bear with it. He rolled his eyes as he loudly yelped. “I’m just kidding! Who wants to marry a little bean who is not even as tall as my legs!”
Lin Feilu: “?”
Very good, you have offended me twice.
Lin Qing separated Lin Jingyuan and Xi Xingjiang who were entangled in a fight. He lectured them regarding the rules when traveling outside, told them not to disturb the royal convoy, and then took Lin Feilu back on horseback.
Lin Qing’s horse riding was much smoother and the horse’s saddle was also softer. Lin Feilu’s butt did not hurt so much riding on it.
The horse grazed while slowly trotting its way back. Lin Qing was not in a hurry and was very loose with the rein, so that Lin Feilu could enjoy the scenery of the countryside.
The scenery in winter was bleak, but the field was empty and cloudless. There was nothing to be seen apart from the moving carriages, giving them a sense of vastness and liberation.
Lin Qing spoke in a soothing voice behind her, “Xingjiang has always been stubborn. Fifth Sister should not mind him.”
Lin Feilu nodded obediently and asked after thinking for a while, “Brother Crown Prince, besides the hot spring, is there anything else in the palace that is fun?”
Lin Qing smiled and said, “The palace is located halfway up the mountain so the scenery is very unique. You will experience it when you reach there.”
The two continued to speak in low voices. The curtains of a delicate carriage in the convoy suddenly opened, and a sweet and soft voice came from inside the car, “His Royal Highness.”
Lin Feilu tilted her head to look and saw it was a kneeling maid servant who opened the curtains of a spacious carriage. Sitting by the window was a pure and beautiful woman, looking at them with a smile.
She did not know who this was, but was clarified by Lin Qing immediately when he said, “Consort Mei.”
