As soon as it was morning, Liu Huan came in carrying a basin of water.

"Miss, wake up!"

Song Qingxue frowned when she heard the sound, then pulled the quilt to cover her head and turned over.

"Miss, it's time to get up. You have to wash up and leave."

Liu Huan put down the basin of water and walked to the bed, gently patting the arched quilt.

Song Qingxue was still sleepy and spoke with a strong nasal tone: "It's only the morning hour, it's still early! Let me sleep a little longer!"

"No way! Miss, there must be many nobles and ministers who will bring their families with them today. You can't just go there without any makeup on."

Song Qingxue closed her eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at her and said in a faint voice: "I am going hunting today, not to compete in beauty, so why can't I be without makeup!"

"Of course not!" Liu Huan said, "You are a single woman now, you should pay attention to your image, so that you can attract the right man."

Song Qingxue raised her hand and tapped her forehead, smiling and blaming her: "How dare you say that? This Zhaohua Palace is the bedroom of your young lady's ex-husband. If his people hear it, you will be in big trouble!"

Liu Huan chuckled twice and said, "My lady will never let the prince punish me!"

"Do you think your young lady is such a great person? If the prince wants to punish you, I can't stop him." Song Qingxue pretended to be serious and threatened her.

Liu Huan was not frightened at all, but held back his laughter and shrank his neck and pouted his lips in cooperation with her.

"My lady has such a cruel heart that she actually has the heart to let this slave be punished."

Song Qingxue saw through her poor acting skills at a glance and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, stop acting and change your clothes quickly."

Today she was still wearing tight clothes that were convenient for movement, but after changing her clothes, Liu Huan insisted on putting makeup on her.

She couldn't resist, so she had to let Liu Huan apply the rouge and powder on her face.

"Miss, you are so beautiful. It really proves the saying... light makeup or heavy makeup always suits you!" Liu Huan's eyes were wide open!

Her clothes were red, and when Liu Huan put makeup on her, he also used bright red for her eyes.

In the past, she always wore plain clothes in the palace, and her makeup and appearance were also plain. Liu Huan originally used red because of the color of her clothes, but he didn't expect that she was so suitable for such a bold color!

"The little girl can even recite poetry."

Song Qingxue stood up, stretched a little sleepily, looked at the sky outside which was already slightly brighter, and asked, "What time is it?"

Although she has been here for a year, she still doesn't know how to tell time based on the changes in celestial phenomena.

"It's almost noon."

"It's almost noon, why is there no movement next door?" Song Qingxue was a little confused. She walked to the door in three or two steps, opened it, and looked towards the house next door.

The door was closed and there were no other palace maids in the yard.

"My Lord, haven't you woken up yet?"

Song Qingxue stepped out of the room and walked towards the next room. Just as she was about to knock on the door, someone called her.

"Miss."

She turned around, "Pin'er?"

At this time, Zhu Pin'er was walking over with a food box. Seeing her standing in front of Xiahou Chongyuan's room, she said, "Miss, the prince went out in the middle of the night."

"midnight?"

"Yes, in the middle of the night the Emperor sent Eunuch Zhang to take him away." At this point, Zhu Pin'er suddenly remembered something and continued, "I almost forgot. When the Prince left, he told me to go to the palace gate at noon this morning to find him. He will be waiting for you there."

"Okay, got it."

After breakfast, Song Qingxue hurried to the palace gate.

Liu Huan and Pin'er originally wanted to go with her, but the place they were going to today was a hunting ground, and she had to go hunting with them. The two little girls were weak and could not even tie a chicken, so even if they went with her, they could only stay in the safe area.

It's so boring, I might as well stay in the palace.

Song Qingxue walked to the palace gate and saw Xiahou Chongyuan sitting in a wheelchair at a glance.

He was still dressed in brocade clothes and had a gorgeous crown on his head. Even from a distance, one could still see how noble he looked.

On the contrary, the little emperor who was pushing him was dressed in a black and gold outfit today, with his hair tied up high and his body straight, looking like a truly elegant young man.

The genes of the royal family are really amazing. Each of them is handsome and none of them looks ordinary.

The little emperor saw her first, raised his hand and waved at her.

"Auntie Huang! Auntie Huang! Run faster, it's time to go!"

This little emperor is really...

He's a good-looking guy, but his brain isn't very good!

It's been so long since she divorced her uncle, yet she still calls him aunt!

If he insists on calling her by name, he should at least call her cousin according to the relationship with the Queen Mother!

Song Qingxue cursed inwardly and quickened her pace.

But the first thing he said to Xia Houle was: "Your Majesty, if you are really embarrassed to call me by my name, you can also call me cousin."

The little emperor laughed and said, "Oh, it's all the same. Don't worry about these details, Auntie. It's just a title."

“……”Haha, I hope that one day a naughty kid will suddenly appear and call you dad!

Xiahou Chongyuan listened to what the two said and smiled, "Okay, don't make Miss Song angry. It's time to set off."

"I know, I know." Xiahou Le agreed, but he made the same mistake again next time.

If these two don't make up later, he will wash his hair upside down!

Song Qingxue took a quick look at today's scene and originally wanted to ride a horse, but Xiahou Chongyuan insisted that she take a carriage.

After lifting the curtain and seeing the cavalry army led by Xiahou Le in front of them, Song Qingxue was really greedy.

Although her riding skills were very average, it was really boring to travel in a carriage every time.

In the real world, there are many means of transportation to choose from! Unlike here, there are only carriages and horses, and the key is that there is no chance to ride a horse!

“I want to ride a horse, too!”

Song Qingxue shouted somewhat unwillingly, startling the palace maid who was walking with her head down outside the car and made her raise her head.

The palace maid glanced at her, then lowered her head silently and continued to walk her own way.

Song Qingxue felt embarrassed when being looked at by the palace maid, so she quickly lowered the curtain and turned to look with resentment at the evil man in the carriage who did not allow her to ride a horse.

"Why won't you let me ride?"

Xiahou Chongyuan was resting with his eyes closed at the moment. He didn't open his eyes when he heard her question. He just said softly, "When we get to the hunting ground, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to ride."

“……”Is that true?

"How long will it take to get to the hunting grounds? We're walking so slowly."

"About half an hour. And, no need to feel it, it's really slow."

"What! Still half an hour!!" Another hour to go? She finally understood why they had to leave so early even though the hunting ground was so close to the palace.

This is a turtle-like pace. If you leave late, it will be noon by the time you get to the hunting ground!

She just didn't understand why going hunting required a whole parade ceremony.

It's a place that can be reached in half an hour, but it took nearly two hours!

Maybe this is the damn sense of ritual of the ancients!
