In the Northwest, since Hongli was injured, Xueying has been taking meticulous care of him, and Hongli's injuries have gradually healed. During this time, Xueying also felt an unprecedented happiness, spending every day by Hongli's side, and their relationship rapidly warmed up. Pichu would also occasionally joke and tease them, and they lived a very warm and carefree life.
That day, Xueying came to apply medicine to Hongli as usual. Entering the tent, she found Hongli already awake. "Your Highness, you're awake! Xueying has come to apply your medicine!" Hongli looked up and saw Xueying, a smile unconsciously spreading across his lips. After spending so much time together, Hongli found himself growing increasingly fond of Xueying.
Hongli then got up and took off his clothes. Although he applied medicine to the prince every day, Xueying always felt a little shy at this time, and her face was already blushing.
Hongli smiled even more as he looked at Xueying's flushed face. How could she still be shy after all this time? Xueying went around to Hongli's back and saw that the wound had begun to scab over. She felt relieved and began to apply medicine to Hongli.
"Xueying, I've been lying here for so long, I'm so bored. Why don't you come with me for a ride?" Xueying's hand, which was applying medicine, suddenly stopped. It had only been a few days, why was she already thinking about riding horses? "Your Highness, you haven't fully recovered yet. You should rest for a few days first before going out!"
Hongli had anticipated Xueying's objection, so he wouldn't easily agree. "My injuries have almost healed, so you don't need to worry. Besides, you're here with me, aren't you?" he said, turning around to await Xueying's reply.
The man in front of her suddenly turned around, her hand applying medicine froze in mid-air, his handsome face no more than a centimeter away. Xueying looked into Hongli's deep black eyes and shyly lowered her head.
Seeing that this tactic was effective, Hongli went even further, bringing his head closer to Xueying and forcing her to meet his gaze. "Xueying... how are you?" The usually serious Prince spoke softly and tenderly, touching Xueying's heartstrings.
Xueying had no choice but to agree, "Since... since Your Highness insists on this, Xueying... will not stop you!" Hongli saw that he had gotten the result he wanted, and thought about letting go of the petite girl in front of him, but he really... couldn't bear to.
Hongli stared at Xueying, whose face turned so red it was almost bleeding. "Your Highness, Your Highness, the weather is so nice today, let's go for a walk!" Pichu walked in from outside the tent.
Pichu, seeing the two gazing at each other affectionately, hurriedly retreated, "You two continue, you two continue..." Xueying quickly averted her gaze, and Hongli also turned around, displeased, "This Pichu is becoming more and more ill-mannered!"
After the two finished applying the medicine, Xueying helped Hongli out of the tent. Pichu was standing at the door. "Pichu, we're going to go horseback riding. Why don't you come with us?" Hongli thought that since he was injured, if something happened on the way, Pichu could take care of him.
Pichu, having been cooped up in the military camp for so long, was overjoyed to hear they were going to ride horses on the grasslands and eagerly went along. Hongli and Xueying exchanged a smile; although Pichu was a seasoned warrior, he was still as childlike as ever.
Upon arriving at the stables, Hongli chose a gentle white horse for Xueying, while he and Piqiu rode a spirited reddish-brown horse. The three of them then left the military camp and galloped across the grasslands.
