Jing Zhe left his home and rushed to Wenxiangju.
Let's go!
Upon arriving on the second floor, he pushed open the door and spoke.
"..."
Murong Xi and Chu Xia looked at him in surprise. Murong Xi even forgot to ask him why he was so late and stood up directly.
"good."
Just like yesterday, Chu Xia didn't follow. Instead, she gave Murong Xi an encouraging look when she left. As for what she was encouraging her about, Jing Zhe had no idea.
"you…"
"I…"
As they left Wenxiangju, Jing Zhe and Murong Xi spoke at the same time.
Then they both laughed and said in unison:
"You go first."
Seeing this, Murong Xi smiled and said, "You go first!"
"I talked to my second sister and Xiaoyu at home for a while. They won't be coming out today, so I'm a little late."
Jing Zhe had expected Murong Xi to be delighted to hear this, but to his surprise, she didn't show any particular delight. After thinking about it, he understood. In truth, whether Zhu Xinning and Zhang Xiaoyu came out or not didn't matter to her, since Su Mochen was already at the newspaper...
What are you trying to say?
"How about we skip going to the newspaper office today?"
Murong Xi stared at Jing Zhe, her eyes bright: "Let's go for a stroll outside the city, just the two of us!"
"..."
Seeing Jing Zhe's stunned expression, Murong Xi assumed he disagreed and said in a pleading tone, "I can't stay in Jingzhou for more than a few days..."
"Let's go!"
Jing Zhe immediately interrupted her, saying, "I was thinking, where should we go for a stroll after we leave the city!"
"Anywhere is fine!"
Seeing that Jing Zhe agreed, Murong Xi was extremely excited: "As long as I can be with you, I'll go anywhere!"
"Okay, let's eat something first!"
Just like yesterday, the two strolled around the streets, bought some snacks from street stalls, and prepared to leave the city after eating their fill. Seeing him lift his foot and head towards the city gate, Murong Xi grabbed him.
"Um?"
Jing Zhe was somewhat puzzled.
"Are we just going out like this?"
"Otherwise what?"
Jing Zhe was somewhat confused.
Murong Xi said softly, "I want to go outside and wander around more. I can't just walk around, can I? How much can I see that way?"
"I can carry you and fly, very quickly, just like we did outside Liangzhou City!"
When they escaped from the Western Frontier camp, Jing Zhe once carried Murong Xi and flew through the air. Murong Xi thought about it and felt a little nostalgic for that feeling.
However, she still refused, saying, "No, let's ride horses!"
The feeling that Murong Xi missed the most was when he was taken away by the Western Barbarians in Liangzhou City. Jing Zhe stood up for him, and the two of them rode a yak together. At that moment, Murong Xi felt a sense of security he had never felt before.
She wanted to experience it again, and that while riding the horse, the two of them could snuggle together and have a good talk.
Can you ride a horse?
Jing Zhe asked.
Murong Xi rolled her eyes at him: Even if I could, would I be able to ride?
Jing Zhe understood instantly. Besides, she couldn't even ride a yak back then, so she probably couldn't ride a horse either.
"Okay, then wait for me a moment..."
...
Before long, Jing Zhe brought over a sturdy white horse. As the empress, Murong Xi always wore gorgeous long dresses, but they were clearly not suitable for riding a horse.
So Jing Zhe led Murong Xi to the clothing store across the street to pick out a few well-fitting outfits for her.
Speaking of tight-fitting clothes, several women wearing them came to mind. He couldn't help but wonder what Murong Xi would look like if she wore such a dashing outfit.
For women, regardless of wealth or poverty, whether they are empresses or ordinary women, when it comes to clothes, they will mostly pick and choose, having a great time!
Jing Zhe wasn't in a hurry. He had less and less time to spend with Murong Xi, and he was sure she was enjoying the time he spent shopping with her, so he waited patiently.
However, Murong Xi had the same shopping problem as other women: she would lose track of time once she started looking at clothes. After some time, Jing Zhe reminded her, "If we don't leave the city soon, I'm afraid my senior sister will come out to look for us when she can't wait for us at the newspaper office!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Xi noticed the time and was startled. She had finally managed to leave the city, and if she were blocked by Su Mochen again, it would be disastrous! She grabbed a dark green outfit and headed out.
Back in the room at Wenxiangju, Chuxia was the most surprised.
Seeing her enter and immediately begin undressing, Chu Xia was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? I remember reading in a women's book that the medicine only works on men! Besides, it's just the two of us here, why are you taking your clothes off..."
Murong Xi rolled her eyes at Chu Xia. "What are you thinking? We're going to ride out of the city on horseback. This dress isn't suitable. He just helped me buy a set of tight-fitting clothes—quickly help me take this dress off!"
"oh."
Chu Xia suddenly realized, and then she remembered that Murong Xi had never worn a dress without a long skirt before, so she also became excited.
Before long, Murong Xi was dressed and twirled in front of Chu Xia, asking, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Chu Xia nodded. Even though she was by Murong Xi's side every day, she was still very captivated at this moment: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to look so good in this outfit!"
At the same time, she said with some anticipation, "Although Anguo's textile industry is not as advanced as our Yueyao Kingdom's, the workmanship and fabric of this outfit are excellent. Chuxia likes it very much! Your Majesty, why don't you take me to the place where you bought the outfit? If there are any suitable ones, I would like to buy a few to take back with me!"
Unlike Murong Xi, Chu Xia rarely had the opportunity to wear skirts because she had to protect her, so she developed the habit of wearing tight-fitting clothes. When she saw such a beautiful tight-fitting outfit, she immediately became interested.
However, Murong Xi immediately shook his head and refused: "Not today. I have to leave the city with him soon. Where would I find the time? If Chu Xia really wants to buy it—go by yourself!"
Watching Murong Xi skip and hop out the door, Chu Xia stood there stunned: Is this the legendary "forgetting friends for the sake of beauty"?
When Murong Xi reappeared in front of Jing Zhe after changing into her tight-fitting clothes, Jing Zhe was a little dazed. They were all wearing tight-fitting clothes, but each woman wore them in a different style.
The first woman he had ever seen wearing a tight-fitting outfit was Lu Li, so his deepest impression of tight-fitting outfits was that of a heroic and valiant female knight. As for Murong Xi, although she was wearing tight-fitting outfits, she appeared somewhat playful.
With a swift leap, Jing Zhe mounted his horse and extended his hand to Murong Xi. Murong Xi didn't hesitate and grasped his hand. He felt the force in Jing Zhe's hand as he stepped into the stirrups and jumped onto the horse.
Because he was holding the reins, Jing Zhe's gestures had to pass over Murong Xi from behind, making it seem as if he were holding her in his arms, which appeared exceptionally intimate.
