It's important to know that throughout history, there have been many cases of ordinary people dying from falling off horses.

Even normal people can't save their lives, let alone Shen Yulou who is physically weak.

He should have been half-dead or barely alive, but his pulse was not only weak, it was even stronger.

Are the stories in bestselling novels true? Is Young Master Shen really a reincarnation of a deity? Is he protected by heaven?

The imperial physician stroked his beard, his eyes shining, wondering if he should try to curry favor with Young Master Chen.

What if my fate could become better?

Seeing the imperial physician's appearance, Shen Yulou felt another headache coming on and quickly sent him away.

"Who is this little fox?" Only after hearing the imperial physician's words did Shen's mother notice that Shen Yulou was holding a little fox in his arms.

"Oh, I picked it up. I had just woken up after fainting and saw it next to me. I felt that we were destined to be together, so I picked it up and raised it."

Shen Yulou continued to fabricate the story of his encounter with the fox cub without changing his expression.

Mother Shen nodded. Foxes are intelligent animals; perhaps this little fox saved Shen Yulou. This is fate between the two of them.

"Why don't you go back to your residence and rest first? There's nothing serious happening here anyway."

Madam Shen looked at Shen Yulou's disheveled appearance and realized he had been frightened today, so she wanted him to go back to the mansion to rest for a while.

"After the hunt this morning, the scholars will begin their horseback tour of the capital at noon. His Majesty will also be going out of the palace with them. You can go and see them after you've rested."

Thinking of the grand scene that would unfold in Qiguo that afternoon, Madam Shen couldn't help but feel excited.

If her son Yulou hadn't fallen ill, he would surely have been a dashing and spirited young man, a scholar who could admire all the flowers of Chang'an in one night.

Madam Shen couldn't even imagine how bright and beautiful her son would look in a red robe.

"Alright." Shen Yulou nodded, then took his servants and rode back to the Prime Minister's residence in a carriage.

Throughout the journey, Shen Yulou never lowered his hand from the carriage curtain.

In preparation for the afternoon's procession of the successful candidates to the capital, the route was lined with blooming flowers, fragrant blossoms, and shady trees, with crowds thronging the area, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Every residence in the capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, covering the entire city and leaving no space untouched.

Many young ladies, dressed in their finest attire, stood on their own pavilions and terraces, laughing and joking with their friends, simulating the afternoon's activity of tossing embroidered balls.

The Qi Dynasty was a scene of prosperity, with a hundred flowers blooming and a magnificent golden landscape.

Such a grand spectacle is rare; shouldn't I dress up nicely too?

Back at the Prime Minister's residence, Shen Yulou rested his head on his hand and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. He seemed to be infected by the sight of the streets deserted by thousands of people.

As an artistic nine-tailed fox, Shen Yulou loves his face very much. He believes that all the troubles in the world can be solved and disappear the moment he sees his own face or Chi Yuan's face.

He also loves beautiful scenery, and can't help but dress up whenever he sees a beautiful view.

Beautiful scenery deserves a beautiful woman, Shen Yulou thought.

So he took out a red and gold robe that the original owner had secretly customized from the wardrobe.

The original owner originally intended to wear it to the family banquet for this year's Lantern Festival, since she wasn't really comfortable wearing it out.

I'm afraid of being hit by falling flowers.

Then he can wear it.

After having lunch, she changed into a red robe with wide sleeves woven with gold thread, and tied her black hair up with a red ribbon, the excessively long ribbon hanging down to her waist.

The loose strands of hair that couldn't be tied up added a touch of messiness and concealed beauty to his small face.

Shen Yulou even tucked a peony, which the servants had specially picked, into her updo.

Her deep red lips and the corners of her eyes complemented the peony flower perfectly.

Her slender hand brushed across the black mole at the corner of her eye and beside her nose, revealing a captivating expression and alluring appearance.

It truly lives up to the saying, "Only the peony is the true national beauty; when it blooms, it stirs the capital."
