Li Yunyan pulled them into her tent and then had Ziyu serve tea.

She squeezed between her parents, a smug look on her face, and said, "I guessed it! When I was in Chuxiu Palace, the room I stayed in, the furniture and decorations in the room, and even the food and drinks were all different from those of the other young ladies! I knew it must have been arranged by Father!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Bieshan was a little confused. Had he made such detailed arrangements?

However, with his daughter sitting perfectly fine in front of him, Li Bieshan didn't think too much about it. Perhaps the person he arranged was particularly meticulous; he'd have to reward them handsomely later!

Li Yunyan clung to her mother, acting coquettishly and chattering incessantly.

When Li Bieshan and Shen Yuhe saw that their daughter was still as charming and innocent as when she was at home, they knew that she had not suffered any grievances, and they felt much more at ease.

They only took their leave after Chu Xingmo arrived.

Chu Xingmo, dressed in a black riding outfit, looked incredibly dashing.

He led over two horses. One was tall and strong, with jade bridle and carved saddle, clearly a rare and fine steed. The other horse was slightly shorter, a white horse with a silver saddle, and looked equally majestic.

He gave Li Yunyan a hearty laugh, "Yanyan, come on! I'll take you horseback riding!"

As he spoke, he lightly flicked his riding whip, displaying a wild and unrestrained demeanor.

Li Yunyan was dazzled by the handsome man and lost her composure for a moment. She quickly called Ziyu over and said to him, "Your Majesty, wait for me a moment, I'm going to change my clothes!"

"good!"

As Chu Xingmo waited for Li Yunyan outside the tent, the nearby concubines came over to pay their respects.

"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects!"

Their voices were incredibly soft and sweet, and their manner of bowing was enchanting and graceful, with charming smiles on their faces.

They all learned it from Li Yunyan!

Chu Xingmo frowned deeply, watching their inappropriate actions and expressions from afar, a feeling of disgust welled up within him.

His voice was cold and distant, and he said expressionlessly, "All of you, step back!"

"His Majesty?"

Meng Qingyu considered herself the person who knew Li Yunyan best, having perfectly imitated her movements and expressions, even down to the last syllable of her voice. Why wouldn't His Majesty even say a single word to them?

Consort Ji was also puzzled.

After observing for this period of time, she was certain that His Majesty was not a homosexual; he truly liked women like Consort Zhao!

She carefully studied Consort Zhao's every move, thinking that this would at least make His Majesty look at her more often, and then she could gradually win His Majesty's heart.

But why?

They boasted that they were all good in terms of looks, figure, and talent. Perhaps their looks were slightly inferior to Consort Zhao's, but surely they were not so bad that even a glance at them would be considered unlucky.

However, His Majesty has always had a bad temper. When he told them to step back, they didn't dare to move any further forward. They could only stand up, take a few steps back, and watch from a distance.

This is near their camp. Your Majesty can't possibly forbid them from leaving the camp, can you?

Not long after, Li Yunyan came out after changing her clothes.

She changed into a bright red riding outfit, which Chu Xingmo had specially prepared for her. It was similar to the style he was wearing, making them a perfect couple's outfit!

She had heard the noise outside while she was in the tent. When she came out, she saw Consort Xia, Consort Lu, Consort Ji, and Meng Qingyu all nearby, staring straight at her!

His eyes were unfriendly.

Li Yunyan's good mood was immediately dampened!

She glared at Chu Xingmo, annoyed. All those women were his! So annoying!

Chu Xingmo touched his nose. He had said before that he wanted to dismiss the harem! But his mother wouldn't allow it!

Now the trouble is here!

He handed the riding whip to Liu Yuan, walked up to her, and gently coaxed her, "Yan Yan, don't be angry! Just pretend you didn't see them!"

"Hmph!" Li Yunyan pouted. "I tried to pretend I didn't see anything, but they were all staring at me! They looked like they wanted to eat me alive!"

Chu Xingmo turned around and glared at them with an unfriendly look. When the four of them saw his gaze, they immediately lowered their heads and became submissive.

Li Yunyan was even angrier! No matter what, the only person they hated was her!

When her temper flared up, she turned around and tried to go back to her tent.

I'm not riding this horse anymore!

Chu Xingmo reacted quickly and pulled her into his arms.

He held her tightly in his arms, afraid that if he let go, she would run inside and never come out again! He lowered his head and patiently coaxed her, "Yanyan, be good, trust me, I will definitely find a way to send them all out of the palace!"

"really?"

"Of course! A promise is a promise!"

Li Yunyan raised her eyes, turned her head away, and pretended to be innocent after getting the advantage, "Then wouldn't that make me seem very jealous?"

Chu Xingmo raised his hand and turned her head to the right side, smiling as he whispered in her ear, "I love your jealous nature. I hope Yanyan stays jealous for the rest of her life!"

"snort!"

Li Yunyan was appeased, pinched his waist, and angrily mounted her horse.

She had practiced riding skills; in her previous small world, she had already mastered all eighteen martial arts.

Her swift and decisive movements caught Chu Xingmo's eye. The young emperor also leaped onto his horse, raised his whip, and said to Li Yunyan, "Yanyan! Come with me!"

Two fine horses galloped off one after the other, followed by a troop of imperial guards for protection.

The four concubines were left dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe that the man who had just been so patient and gentle with Li Yunyan was the rumored emperor who was indifferent to women!

These are completely two different people!

A flash of insane jealousy crossed Meng Qingyu's eyes. Why was Li Yunyan so lucky? Not only did her brother Zian like her, but even His Majesty, who was not interested in women, was infatuated with her?

If it were me...

Meng Qingyu clutched the handkerchief in her sleeve tightly, remembering the letter that Wen Zian had just sent over.

Wen Zi'an also came to the hunting grounds today, but in his letter he said that he was unable to move around easily and asked her to come to his tent to find him, saying that he had something important to discuss.

She didn't want to go at first, because she had already decided to wholeheartedly love His Majesty!

But now...

A hint of malice flashed in her eyes. If she could help Zian get Li Yunyan, wouldn't His Majesty be hers?

She rubbed her forehead, pretending to be exhausted and wanting to go back to her tent to rest.

Consort Xia and Consort Lu also returned to their respective tents, leaving only Consort Ji, who watched Li Yunyan and Chu Xingmo depart with an unreadable expression.

Meng Qingyu changed into a palace maid's outfit inside the tent, avoided the people around her, and walked towards the outer edge of the tent with her head down.

Following the clues in the letter, she easily located Wen Zi'an's camp.

Her maid's attire went unnoticed, and she walked straight in without pausing.

"Brother Zi'an?"

When Meng Qingyu saw Wen Zi'an sitting in a wheelchair, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
