Chapter 178: Eating Sour
After being bored for so many days, Shen Wan really wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't dare to ask Xie Jingyu to accompany her. She just took her maid to the street.
After staying in Wing Chun Temple for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Wan returned to Zhaolanxuan, asked Shanhu to take the banknote, and then Chen Wan went out.
But when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he didn't see the carriage, but he saw two horses cuddling there.
One is Xie Jingyu's.
One is hers.
Thinking of the scene he saw last time when he went back to the stable, Chen Wan felt embarrassed.
The emperor gifted her the horse. She had always wanted to ride a horse, but because of the embarrassment that day, Shen Wan didn't dare to mention it at all. Coupled with her sprained ankle, it has continued until today.
Seeing the horse at this moment, Shen Wan's heart was eager to move.
There were footsteps behind him, Shen Wan turned around and saw Xie Jingyu coming over, "Why don't you wait for me?"
Shen Wan said, "It's just shopping, I can take the maid with me."
Xie Jingyu said, "I'll take you out of the city on horseback."
Shen Wan nodded repeatedly.
She walked to her horse, and then Chen Ping led the horse away.
Shen Wan, “…???”
She looked back at Xie Jingyu, who helped Shen Wan onto his horse, and then got on as well.
Shen Wan said, "I can ride a horse by myself."
Xie Jingyu said, "There are too many people on the street, I'm worried."
"I'm not that timid."
Shen Wan protested.
Two people riding together would be too conspicuous, and she was not so shameless.
"I'm worried you might hurt someone else."
Xie Jingyu hugged Chen Wan's waist tightly, kicked the horse's belly, and ran forward.
Shen Wan knew what Xie Jingyu was going to do and no one could stop him, but what Shen Wan didn't expect was that when she and Xie Jingyu rode on the same horse, the first person they met was the prince.
Shen Wan, “…”
Meet head-on.
Xie Jingyu tightened the reins and called out, "Father."
No red face and no panting.
Poor Shen Wan's face was almost as red as a monkey's butt.
The prince said nothing, and just walked away without even stopping.
After the prince left, Shen Wan let out a long sigh, and Xie Jingyu chuckled, "Didn't I tell you that father wouldn't say anything, why is your face still so red?"
Shen Wan said, "I'm not as thick-skinned as you think!"
Her voice was carried away by the wind.
Xie Jingyu took her and ran towards the city gate.
The official road outside the city is wide and less crowded, so you can ride a horse. But it is not possible inside the city, so Xie Jingyu is worried.
The two men rode through the streets, and everyone who passed by looked at them.
After all, it is rare for a man and a woman to ride together, and even fewer who are so good-looking. Everyone who recognizes them is envious. The Prince of Jingbei and his wife are newlyweds, and their relationship is really good.
Zuixianlou.
In the private room on the second floor, Prince Yuzhang and Chu Yang were drinking.
Chu Yang stood by the window, watching people coming and going on the street.
Prince Yuzhang was throwing peanuts into his mouth. As soon as they were in the air, Chu Yang's curses were heard, "Showing off! Definitely showing off!"
Prince Yuzhang laughed and said, "Who's showing off?"
"Who else could it be? Brother Jing Yu!"
"What is he showing off?" Prince Yuzhang was curious.
Chu Yang said, "To show off that he has a princess."
Xie Jingyu's face was already quite ostentatious, and when he took the Crown Princess on horseback riding, it was even more eye-catching.
Prince Yuzhang said sadly, "Married people are different. Brother Jingyu hasn't had a drink with us for a long time."
Besides, Chen Wan was taken by Xie Jingyu and ran out of the city in one breath before stopping.
After Xie Jingyu dismounted, he helped Shen Wan down. Chen Ping brought the horse that the emperor had given to Shen Wan, and Xie Jingyu helped Shen Wan mount the horse.
Chen Wan touched the smooth mane of the horse's oily hair and liked it very much in her heart. The emperor was really good to her. There was only one tribute horse, and Xie Jingyu asked for a reward for her, so the emperor gave it to her directly.
Shen Wan was in a hurry, so he kicked the horse's belly and galloped forward.
Xie Jingyu was really worried, so he rode his horse to catch up with him.
Chen Ping and Chen An followed behind him, and Shanhu Yinchuan followed far behind in a carriage.
Chen Wan likes riding horses. It is a rare opportunity for her to ride freely, so she ran all the way to Shili Pavilion before stopping.
The scenery near Shili Pavilion was nice, so Xie Jingyu accompanied Chen Wan for a walk.
The air was clear after the rain, but the mountain road was also slippery. Chen Wan stepped on a stone and slipped. If Xie Jingyu hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have rolled down the hillside.
Xie Jingyu held Chen Wan's waist tightly and didn't let go. Chen Wan blushed and said, "It's okay..."
"The road is slippery after the rain, so it's better for me to take you for a walk."
Shen Wan said, "No, we should go back."
"Okay."
The next moment, he picked up Shen Wan horizontally.
Shen Wan said, "I'll go by myself."
"The road down the mountain is even more slippery. If I don't hold you, I'm afraid you'll roll down."
It's not as exaggerated as he said.
But there was no one around, so Shen Wan didn't struggle. It was useless to struggle anyway.
When we returned to Shili Pavilion, we saw several carriages parked there from afar, and the man in the lead was talking to Chen Ping.
But before they could pass, the carriage parked there started moving.
A head popped out from one of the luxurious carriages, and upon seeing them, he waved and called out, "Brother Jingyu..."
The carriage stopped.
It was a bit far away, so Shen Wan couldn't see what the girl looked like.
"Wait here for a moment."
Xie Jingyu jumped on his horse.
Chen Wan just watched Xie Jingyu ride over, first greeted the leading man, then stopped by the carriage and spoke to the girl who called him.
Shanhu asked, "Wouldn't the Crown Princess go over and take a look?"
It wasn’t far away, Shen Wan was about to go over and had already arrived.
Shen Wan asked, "What did you do in the past? Did it get in the way?"
The tone was inexplicably sour.
Shen Wan turned to go into the Ten-Li Pavilion to rest. When he reached Chen Ping, he asked, "Who is it?"
Chen Ping replied, "It's General Yun Hui, who has returned to the capital with his wife and daughter to celebrate the emperor's birthday."
Hearing the words "General Yunhui", Shen Wan's expression changed again and again.
General Yunhui...his surname is Chen.
Could that girl be Xie Jingyu's sweetheart?
Chen Wan looked over there, and Xie Jingyu happened to be looking over here. Chen Wan felt inexplicably anxious and turned around and went into the pavilion.
Soon Xie Jingyu came back, and Shen Wan asked, "Did you finish the conversation so soon?"
Xie Jingyu said, "General Yunhui is still rushing to the palace to report to the emperor."
Seeing that Shen Wan looked a little pale, he asked, "Are you tired?"
Shen Wan shook her head, “You don’t have to stay with me all the time, I can ride back to the mansion by myself.”
It would be fine if he just said this in the mansion, but now that he's here, could he really leave her and go back first?
Xie Jingyu said, "I'm not as busy as you think."
Chen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, and seeing that he didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, she simply rested for a quarter of an hour before getting up.
How to get to Shiliting and how to get back.
When they arrived at the city gate, Xie Jingyu directly got off his horse and sat behind Shen Wan.
Back at the Jingbei Palace, Xie Jingyu helped Shen Wan down, and the two entered the palace together.
The gatekeeper reported to Shen Wan, "The third lady and cousin from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion came this morning, but the Crown Prince's Consort was not here, so they did not enter the mansion."
A few days ago, Shen Wan's aunt Madam Liu and cousin Liu Xianhui came to Beijing.
I didn’t expect them to come to Jingbei Palace, but Shen Wan didn’t want to see them.
Back at Zhaolanxuan, the little maid didn't know that Chen Wan already knew that Chen Wu and the others had come to Jingbei Palace to look for her, so she reported it again, and in more detail.
The little maid said, "Besides the third young lady and the cousin, the third young lady from the Liu family is also here."
The third daughter of the Liu family...
She is the second daughter of the Liu family and the cousin of Liu Xianhui.
Shen Wan was a little surprised.
Because in the previous life, my aunt Madam Liu only brought her daughter Liu Xianhui to Beijing, and did not bring other members of the Liu family. Why did she bring the third daughter of the Liu family to Beijing in this life as well?
A trace of uneasiness flashed through Shen Wan's heart for no reason, and he decided to go back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion tomorrow.
