Chapter 149 The Angry Princess and the Rough General 4

Even if Shen Beizhan was favored again, he should dismount and salute when he saw the princess.

But he saw from a distance that the two of them were standing so close to each other, whispering to each other, and that Song Heng had a tender smile on his face, and he felt really unhappy in his heart.

Sure enough, everything said on the wedding night was false.

The gentle and caring appearance she usually displays is just an act.

What a woman says, oh, you really can’t trust it at all.

So he deliberately rode past the two men and pulled the reins hard, causing the horses to neigh and raise their hooves.

Song Heng was afraid of being hurt by the horse's hoof, so he stepped back subconsciously, leaving Cha Jiu standing there.

When Shen Beizhan saw this, disdain flashed in his eyes.

Song Heng suppressed his smile and reminded, "Prince consort, you are not allowed to ride a horse or make noise in the palace, especially when the princess is here, you should be polite."

Shen Beizhan sneered and said, "According to etiquette, you should also salute me when you see me, Deputy Minister of Public Security."

He deliberately emphasized the word "deputy".

Shen Beizhan was given the title of Huaihua General, a third-rank official, while Song Heng was only a fourth-rank deputy minister of government.

Song Heng's expression changed slightly.

Shen Beizhan added: "This fast horse of mine was specially given by the Emperor to travel in the palace. I don't need to stop to return the greetings to the masters. It is for the purpose of meeting the Emperor quickly and reporting the military situation on the border. It is naturally not useful for a leisurely post like Lord Song, so it is normal to be surprised by something new."

Song Heng was so angry at this weird attitude that he could no longer speak. He frowned, said goodbye to Cha Jiu, and left in a huff.

Shen Beizhan even snorted, "Scholars are thin-skinned."

Cha Jiu tilted her head slightly, covering her lips and smiling.

Shen Beizhan saw her almond-shaped eyes curved and thought she was laughing at his arrogance, and felt annoyed and depressed.

She's still laughing!

She was whispering with another man in public and yet she dared to laugh at him.

How abominable!

"Did the meeting with the Emperor go smoothly today?" Cha Jiu asked after getting on the carriage.

Shen Beizhan sat farthest from her and said in a concise and cold voice: "It's OK."

"Did you mention returning to the border to guard it?"

"no."

“You are angry”

"I don't dare."

Shen Beizhan closed his eyes to rest his mind, and regarded words as gold.

"Okay, don't be angry." Cha Jiu gently held Shen Beizhan's big hand on his knees.

Shen Beizhan's eyelashes trembled slightly, he opened his eyes, and wanted to pull his hand back.

Cha Jiu held it firmly and stared at him, with a gleam in her eyes: "If Song Heng comes to me privately again in the future, I won't even look at him. I will just let him send a visiting card to the General's Mansion to ask for an audience. How about that?"

Shen Beizhan grasped the key point: "He took the initiative to stop you today"

Cha Jiu nodded.

Shen Beizhan's expression finally eased a little.

"Actually, Your Highness, you don't have to tell me this." After Shen Beizhan calmed down, his tone also became calm and distant.

"You are of noble status, you can do whatever you want, I have no right to interfere. I just hope that Your Highness can be sensible and not hurt each other's dignity."

Cha Jiu said frankly: "I said these words to you because I want to spend a good life with you."

She paused, then continued, "If you think we don't have to be together forever, then just pretend you didn't hear these words."

Shen Beizhan looked at her in silence, as if evaluating the truthfulness of these words.

After a while, he used his free hand to take a whip from his waist and handed it to Cha Jiu.

"This is the whip that the emperor gave me. It can be used to beat court officials and ladies below the fourth rank." He raised his chin slightly. "If Song Heng or anyone else dares to offend you in the future, just use this whip to beat him directly."

Others are secondary.

The key point is to beat Song Heng.

Cha Jiu was startled for a moment, then took the whip and smiled as bright as spring water in March: "Okay."

"The situation on the border is temporarily stable. I should be able to stay in Beijing for three to five years." Shen Beizhan said suddenly.

Cha Jiu realized that he was answering the question she had just asked seriously.

Shen Beizhan: "Also, the Emperor mentioned the hunting trip next month and asked me to accompany the Emperor. Does Your Highness know how to ride a horse?"

"No." Cha Jiu said honestly, "When I was a kid, I learned to ride a horse, but after only half a cup of tea, my legs would be scratched, so my mother never let me learn again."

Shen Beizhan: “…”

What a spoiled brat.

"If your highness is not afraid of pain, I will teach you."

“What if I’m afraid of pain?”

"It won't hurt after a few more times."

“Will I get hurt?”

“First time always hurts.”

The further the conversation went, the more Shen Beizhan felt something was wrong.

He paused and glanced at Cha Jiu, but saw only a pure look on her face.

...Well, it seems he is the only one with dirty thoughts.

The carriage soon arrived in front of the general's mansion. Cha Jiu let go of Shen Beizhan's hand and got off the carriage with the help of Chenxiang.

Shen Beizhan looked down at the back of his hand which was still warm. For the first time he realized that the distance between the imperial palace and the general's residence was so short.

At a distance, Chenxiang thought Shen Beizhan couldn't hear him, so he whispered, "The emperor has given your Highness a box of whips like this..."

Shen Beizhan, who has excellent hearing, "..."

Damn, when he handed me the whip just now, he was so arrogant

Qing Dai also whispered back: "How can it be the same? This was sent by the general."

Shen Beizhan's expression eased slightly.

He looked at the whip that Cha Jiu hung carefully around his waist, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and his mood improved a little.

…

Shen Beizhan found a good day and took Cha Jiu to the training ground on the outskirts of the city to learn horse riding.

At first he let Chajiu sit on the horse and he led the horse for a while.

"People and horses should cultivate their feelings first," Shen Beizhan said as he led the horse. "If you try to conquer it right away, not only the horse, but even the people will not be willing to do that."

Cha Jiu pondered for a moment on the horse, then said: "So the general is hinting to me that I should cultivate feelings with you first."

Shen Beizhan's temples were throbbing: "...I was talking about riding a horse!"

Cha Jiu pursed his lips and smiled.

Every time he saw this spoiled girl laughing at him, Shen Beizhan would feel depressed, as if he was being controlled by her, and his emotions fluctuated with her words.

It feels like a tiger falling into a little white rabbit's trap.

It's ridiculous.

Very ridiculous.

So Shen Beizhan climbed onto the horse's back and sat behind Cha Jiu, with a hint of revenge in his voice: "After leading the horse for so long, the feelings should be there. Now it's time to experience the feeling of a fast horse galloping in the hunting grounds."

Cha Jiu: “But I haven’t…”

"Your Highness, hold on to the reins!"

Having said that, Shen Bei whipped his horse whip, and the horse galloped out like lightning.

Cha Jiu had no choice but to hold the reins tightly and press his back against Shen Beizhan's strong chest.

The horse's hooves kicked up flying sand and gravel on the ground, and the strong wind blew against Cha Jiu's face, causing him pain.

Fortunately, Shen Beizhan still had some sense and took her on a ride for a circle before stopping.

"How do you feel, Your Highness?"

Shen Beizhan got off the horse and reached out to Cha Jiu, wanting her to help him get off.

Cha Jiu didn't move.

Shen Beizhan looked at his palms. They were indeed a little dirty from feeding and leading the horses just now, but it was just dust.

She disliked him

The excitement on Shen Beizhan's face suddenly faded.
