Chapter 028 What? The imperial examination has started with an idle subject?

At night, the relief team set up camp.

Because it was a full moon and the light was good, we were able to walk for a while after dark.

It was a hot summer day and it was still very hot even after the sun went down. Qin Zhaoyue got off the carriage and walked around.

After waking up at noon, she didn't sleep again, but she was still lazy. The biggest problem was the heat.

It's not like in the mansion, where when it's hot there are ice glasses and ice syrup to drink. The carriage is scorched by the sun like a steamer, and the fan only blows out hot air.

So in the carriage, Qin Zhaoyue took off his outer shirt and gold silk soft armor early and only wore his inner shirt.

Taoyao and Suimo guarded the carriage tightly, not even allowing the curtain to be opened.

Although the separation between men and women in the current dynasty is not as strict as before, if a princess like this were to be seen by others... the consequences would be unimaginable!

In just one day, Qin Zhaoyue regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. What nonsense did he say?

She has learned her lesson and decided to stay in the capital after this return trip. She will never be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery again.

Besides the heat, the biggest problem is boredom.

There is a lack of entertainment these days. In Beijing, you can still eat, drink, play, watch male models dance, etc., but what can you do along the way?

There were no novels to read or short videos to watch. She was bored sitting in the carriage for the whole afternoon.

While cooking at night, I quickly came out to get some fresh air.

"Sui Mo, please teach me how to ride a horse."

Sui Mo did not refuse. As long as this person did not cause any trouble, she was willing to cooperate.

He brought a docile horse, helped it sit, and then led the way himself.

Unexpectedly, the princess was quite talented. After a while, she became quite skilled and could even trot around in circles.

Qin Zhaoyue quickly found his rhythm and became more relaxed.

After all, her physical fitness is no longer what it used to be. A sixth-grade warrior has already begun to transcend the scope of ordinary people.

Riding a horse is not difficult for her. It is just a matter of fulfilling her talent and she can do it easily.

Pei Xueqi, who was not far away, watched this scene and heard the silver bell-like laughter while riding a horse. He unconsciously pulled up a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother He Qing, what are you looking at so intently?"

Pei Xueqiao immediately came back to his senses and restrained his expression.

"Our Sixth Princess... I really don't know why His Majesty sent her to provide disaster relief."

"Yes, did you see that? She brought more than a dozen maids with her."

"This isn't disaster relief at all. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a picnic."

Pei Xueqiao subconsciously wanted to refute.

But when she looked at the maids following behind her, she opened her mouth but could not say anything.

The Qingluan Guards are not accessible to ordinary people and they all wear masks in the palace, so the accompanying officials are not aware that these people are not actually maids.

Qin Zhaoyue actually only brought one Taoyao on this trip, which was quite simple for princes and nobles. Even the fifth prince brought more than one person.

Pei Xueqiao thought about it. What right did he have to refute on behalf of the Sixth Princess?

Strictly speaking, they have a personal grudge, as he was drugged and embarrassed!

When he thought of the phrase "not even strong enough to tie a chicken", he became furious.

He immediately stood up, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards Qin Zhaoyue.

"Hey, He Qing, where are you going?"

Everyone was shocked. Although the Sixth Princess was unruly, she was still a member of the royal family.

It would be fine if they just whispered a few words behind my back, but would they dare to scold me to my face?

But Pei Xueqiao walked quickly and had already walked halfway, so his colleagues did not dare to stop him abruptly at this time.

"Forget it, forget it. He's the prime minister's legitimate son, so a few scoldings should be fine."

"I'm afraid she'll cause trouble and affect disaster relief efforts. It's a good thing to let her wake up a little now."

Pei Xueqiao rushed out in anger, but only felt confused halfway through.

But he couldn't turn back now that he was here. What would his colleagues think of him? So he gritted his teeth and walked forward.

Qin Zhaoyue had just gotten used to riding a horse. After having fun for a while and getting off the horse, he saw Pei Xueqiao walking towards him.

"Why are you in the team?"

Pei Xueqiao had just come up and politely bowed when he heard these words, "I've been here since morning!"

"Oh, I didn't see him." Qin Zhaoyue said indifferently. At that time, she was only focused on looking at the handsome guy. How could five or six thousand people pay attention to him?

Pei Xueqiao:! I’m so angry!

Colleagues not far away seemed to be taking a break and chatting, but in fact they were glancing at me out of the corner of their eyes.

"It's over, it's over. I'm afraid Brother Xue Qiao will be scolded."

"Of course, you know that person's personality."

"Hey, Brother Xueqiao is so angry that he's shaking!"

…

Pei Xueqi was a gentleman as beautiful as jade, a striking presence in the crowd. He had never been treated so coldly before, and his face turned pale with anger.

"Your Highness, we're going to provide disaster relief. It's not good to have so many maids following us!"

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. In fact, he didn't mean it that way, and his tone was too harsh. He quickly added:

"If this gets back to the capital, I might be impeached by the censors. That would be bad for my reputation. It's better... to be more restrained."

It is true that he was drugged, and the Sixth Princess discovered it in time and took advantage of the situation, which shows that he is not stupid, just a little eccentric.

Although he was not the chief or deputy envoy in this disaster relief, if he performed well, he could also redeem his bad reputation, so he came to give advice.

Qin Zhaoyue's face immediately darkened.

How could she know what Pei Xueqiao was thinking? Even if she knew, she would only express disdain.

The shameful reputation is her umbrella of protection, redeem it? Don't make trouble!

With her hands on her hips, she raised her head and glared at him.

"You live by the sea, why do you care so much?

I heard you were the top scholar. What’s going on? Now the imperial examinations have a ‘no-one subject’? Why don’t you just take care of the top scholar?”

"you!"

"What are you talking about? Why are you, a grown man, staring at my maid?

You can't control yourself after taking some medicine, you're twisting like a maggot, take care of yourself, little dog."

Pei Xueqiao blushed, "You! I'm not a thin dog!"

"Tsk," Qin Zhaoyue curled her lips in disdain, "Ask my maid if you are a thin dog?"

Tao Yao didn't know what a thin dog was, but she was loyal and nodded immediately, "Yes, it's a thin dog."

Pei Xueqiao:!

Without waiting for him to say anything else, Qin Zhaoyue turned and left.

Before turning around, Sui Mo took one last glance at Pei Xueqiao and shook his head secretly.

To outsiders, it seemed that the Sixth Princess brought a bunch of maids to serve her, but only she herself knew that she actually only brought one.

Besides, His Highness is not very troublesome. He is just a little sleepy and likes to stay cool. He didn't say anything when he ate dry food at noon, which shows that he is not that pampered.

Sui Mo finally understood why the Sixth Princess had such a bad reputation outside.

It's obviously a good thing, but he just doesn't explain it and even takes the opportunity to ridicule others.

With the way she talks, who would want to get to the bottom of the truth? Wouldn't that just be resentment?

Qin Zhaoyue was happy, leaving Pei Xueqiao alone.

I don’t know if he was angry or hated himself for not expressing himself clearly, but he looked as bleak as fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
