Early in the morning of April 22nd, Qin Qingyao was still in a daze when Dugu Yu dug her out of bed.

"There are so many people today, it's not good to be late."

The two of them had breakfast and took enough things for the trip. Dugu Yu even asked Baiji and Zhao Jinghan to go out together.

Qin Qingyao seldom brought servants with her when she went out, and Dugu Yu didn't care much about it before, as it was always just the two of them who went into the palace.

But now, he didn't need anyone to teach him. Dugu Yu was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Qin Qingyao outside, so he naturally thought of taking the servants to take good care of her.

Perhaps, even he himself did not realize that no matter what he did now, he would first consider Qin Qingyao, fearing that she would be unhappy or wronged in the slightest.

Of course, Baiji couldn't be a light bulb in the carriage. Although the carriage was big enough, it was filled with pink bubbles emitted from her two masters. There was no room for her.

So she rode a horse like Zhao Jinghan.

Fortunately, it was a spring outing, not a war, so there was no need to gallop on horseback. Besides, she had traveled all over the country, so riding a horse was no problem for her.

The two sisters of the Bai family were not particularly beautiful, but they were very smart and thoughtful, unlike the other maids who were dull and timid.

Following Qin Qingyao, a master who didn't care much about hierarchy, he let his nature run wild, exuding the heroic spirit of a hero.

Qin Qingyao pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked out. She always felt that the little girl Baiji was deliberately riding her horse towards Zhao Jinghan.

Hehe, that little girl might have some feelings for Zhao Jinghan, is she having sexual thoughts?

The fire of gossip burned in her eyes, "Husband, has Jinghan married a wife?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Qin Qingyao narrowed her eyes and smiled, "What do you think of our Baiji and your Zhao Jinghan?"

Dugu Yu pinched Qin Qingyao's nose and pulled her into his arms. "What do you mean by 'your family' or 'our family'? Speak to me properly!"

Qin Qingyao tossed around in Dugu Yu's arms for a while, then found a comfortable position to sit down. "Hey, they're both grown up now, so just tell me if it's okay or not."

"Whatever you think is okay."

Qin Qingyao strongly disapproved of Dugu Yu's attitude of not caring about his subordinates. "What do you mean by 'it's okay if I think it's okay'? That's someone's lifelong event, they don't have to agree with it."

Dugu Yu looked very innocent, "Then why are you asking me?"

Qin Qingyao, "..."

The more she looked at them, the more reliable they seemed, and she began to feel like becoming a matchmaker. She secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and watched the two people glance at each other from time to time, with a smile like an old mother on her face.

Dugu Yu couldn't stand it any longer and simply covered Qin Qingyao's eyes.

"Well, what are you doing?"

"What's there to see outside?"

"It's beautiful. How about we go out for a horseback ride? The scenery outside is so beautiful."

Dugu Yu naturally had no objection. If it weren't for taking care of Qin Qingyao, he would definitely not have taken the carriage.

Qin Qingyao couldn't ride a horse, so she could only ride on the same horse with Dugu Yu. The moment the two of them appeared, they became a beautiful scenery.

A series of red eyes shot over at her, and Qin Qingyao was a little embarrassed. Haven't you seen the love between couples? What are you looking at? Do you think she is a giant panda?

However, Dugu Yu acted as if he didn't see anything. He straightened Qin Qingyao's clothes when he needed to and shielded her from the sun when he needed to. No matter what others thought, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

This thick-skinned person is a true legacy of the Qin family, and has already surpassed his ancestors.

Qin Qingyao simply looked straight ahead, curled up in Dugu Yu's arms and leaned against his chest, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. Her small body fit perfectly in Dugu Yu's arms, looking extremely harmonious.

But before the two of them could be quiet for a while, Ling Anli came after them on horseback.

Qin Qingyao hadn't seen Ling Anli since the Lantern Festival palace banquet. At this moment, Ling Anli came over with a smile on his face, just to greet Dugu Yu, without even looking at Qin Qingyao.

Qin Qingyao snorted lightly. She didn't like being treated coldly or ignored by others!

"Brother Dugu, we haven't sparred for a long time. I recently learned a new whip technique. When we get there, could you please give me some pointers?"

Dugu Yu said, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at using a whip, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Qin Qingyao was very impressed by Dugu Yu's refusal without hesitation, and stretched out her little hand to pat his thigh to show encouragement.

As a result, this young man thought she had something to say, so he lowered his head and looked at her seriously and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want?"

Isn't this clearly telling Ling Anli that she is doing something secretly?

Qin Qingyao said rather embarrassedly, "Oh, I'm a little thirsty and want to drink some water."

"Um."

Dugu Yu pulled the reins, turned the horse around and walked back. When he returned to the carriage, he dismounted quickly and swiftly, went into the carriage, poured out some water and handed it to Qin Qingyao to drink.

Qin Qingyao hadn't finished her glass of water yet when Ling Anli, riding a horse, followed her to the carriage with a sullen look on his face. "Brother Dugu, I want some water too!"

Dugu Yu, "I'm sorry, I only brought two cups with me. Didn't the princess bring any water?"

Qin Qingyao, who was drinking water, was amused by Dugu Yu's calm lie and almost choked to death. He coughed violently, and his hand shook, spilling the water in the cup onto his clothes.

Dugu Yu reached out to help her wipe the water off her clothes. "Be careful. Do you want more?"

Qin Qingyao shook her head, "No."

When Dugu Yu took the cup from Qin Qingyao's hand, he saw Ling Anli riding on his horse and glaring at Qin Qingyao, holding the whip tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to whip Qin Qingyao into a clown face at any time.

He looked at Ling Anli with a warning look in his eyes, "Is there anything else, Princess?"

Ling Anli looked at Dugu Yu's wary eyes and her eyes instantly turned red.

Qin Qingyao felt a little embarrassed at this moment. She thought she should say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but thinking about how much Ling Anli disliked her, anything she said would only add fuel to the fire.

After all, she is not Lin Xiafeng...

Qin Qingyao had just thought of this when Lin Xiafeng appeared. She was also riding a horse. She had changed her previous plain white dress and was wearing a pink outfit that was easy to ride. She looked heroic.

"My princess, would you like some water? If you don't mind, come and have some from me. I don't have any good tea, so I'll have to make do with it."

Ling Anli was stubborn and didn't want to leave. Lin Xiafeng patted the head of the horse under Ling Anli. The horse seemed to have understood Lin Xiafeng's brain waves, and obediently took Ling Anli and left with Lin Xiafeng.

Qin Qingyao was amazed at what she saw. Even when Dugu Yu got on the horse again, she still hadn't come to her senses. This beast knew to get closer to the heroine. His desire to survive was too strong.

"Hubby, do you think I should go say hello to Lin Xiafeng and ask for peace or something?"

"Ask for peace?"

"Yes, now that I have decided not to help the Crown Prince, I should unite with Prince Duan. She is Prince Duan's beloved daughter, so we must have a good relationship with her, right?"

Dugu Yu, “…”

Before he could speak, Qin Qingyao continued, "But I feel like I really can't open my mouth. Even her little follower hates me so much. Do you think she can put aside the past and reconcile with me?"

Dugu Yu sighed lightly. Whether or not they would let bygones be bygones didn't seem to be the point. Could you promise that after reconciliation, you wouldn't quarrel with them anymore?

Besides, he couldn't bear to see Qin Qingyao go to Lin Xiafeng and be treated humbly and suffer the grievances. "It's better to keep to oneself."

Qin Qingyao nodded heavily, "My husband is wise. You are right. I will listen to you!"

Dugu Yu twitched his lips helplessly. This is what you had planned, right?

…

A large group of people walked to the riverside in the suburbs. The place was picturesque with mountains and clear water, like a paradise. There was a large green meadow on the river bank, and the grass was so lush that people couldn't help but want to roll on it.

Behind the grassland is a large forest. At this time, various wild flowers are blooming, and there are swarms of bees buzzing. If Qin Qingyao didn't have a psychological shadow about bees, she really wanted to go into the forest and have fun.

Prince Duan looked at the clear river and said with satisfaction, "How about we rest here for a while, enjoy the flowers and the breeze, and then go somewhere else in the afternoon?"

You are the boss, whatever you say is fine.

Everyone dismounted and started to get the tea, cakes and other things they had brought with them.

Ling Jingxuan smiled and said, "Now that we're out, why bother filling our stomachs with these cakes? Why not try some wild game? Who wants to go with me into the woods and try our luck?"

Qin Qingyao almost blurted out that spring is the season for animals to mate and give birth, and it is not suitable for hunting and killing!

But thinking that he had already made up his mind to form a united front with Prince Duan, he held it back.

In the future, the whole world will belong to Ling Jingxuan. He can eat any of the little animals he likes.

Dugu Yu didn't have any objections and asked Qin Qingyao directly, "What do you want to eat?"

Qin Qingyao spoke in such a nonchalant tone that it seemed as if Dugu Yu could catch a phoenix for her if she wanted to eat it.

"Uh...it's up to fate, haha, everything is up to fate!"

The men all took the initiative to go up the mountain to hunt, as if they were going to compete to see who could catch more.

The guards went to the mountains to collect firewood, the maids were cleaning up the dishes and pastries, and the young ladies sat on the ground, looking as if they were immersed in the mountains and rivers, and they consciously and spontaneously moved closer to Lin Xiafeng.

Qin Qingyao felt that she had really left herself no way out before and had offended Lin Xiafeng so much. Now she felt so embarrassed to go over to him.

She looked around and said to Dugu Yu, "There are many plants and trees here, so there should be a lot of wild vegetables. Baiji and I will go dig some wild vegetables. Otherwise, just eating barbecue will make us feel sick."

Dugu Yu didn't object and said decisively, "There are many wild animals in the forest now. It's not safe. I will go with you."

"So you're not going hunting?"

Dugu Yu, "So many people have already gone, one more person won't make a difference!"
