The guard said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Chen's carriage suddenly broke down and cannot continue its journey for the time being."
Hearing this, the old emperor frowned, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard continued, "I'm not entirely sure about this. The Prince simply said the carriage had broken down and needed some time to repair."
The old emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Let them stop for now. Have someone repair the carriage for the prince as soon as possible. We can set off again after it's repaired."
"yes."
The guard responded and then gave the order.
The old emperor then turned to Shen Wangshu and said, "Since Prince Chen's carriage has broken down, let's rest here. My beloved concubine, would you like to go down with me for a walk?"
"Of course, I'd love to have that."
Seeing this, the old emperor curled his lips in satisfaction and said, "Okay, then let's go for a walk together."
Shen Wangshu nodded slightly, and then the two of them got off the carriage together and walked towards an open space not far away.
There are many trees with lush green leaves not far from the open space. It is early morning and the weather is not hot. When the breeze blows, you can smell the fragrance of grass.
Shen Wangshu took a deep breath and felt his whole heart become particularly relaxed.
"It seems that my beloved concubine enjoys life outside the palace?"
The old emperor asked casually while looking around.
Shen Wangshu nodded first and then shook her head. "I don't really like it, but it's inevitable that it gets boring after staying in the palace for a long time. It's a pleasure to go out for a walk and see the scenery occasionally."
"Um."
Hearing her say that she didn't like the world outside the palace, the old emperor's expression eased a lot.
The old emperor chatted with her as they walked, and Shen Wangshu responded intermittently while admiring the scenery.
Although she was by the old emperor's side, her mind was not here at all. Instead, it drifted towards Mo Sichen who was not far away.
He leaned against a crooked tree, holding a pot of water in his hand, and took a big sip.
This look seems extremely lazy, yet with a hint of unruly.
She couldn't help but wonder, what kind of environment did a man like this grow up in?
Perhaps feeling her gaze, Mo Sichen suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
Somehow, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her eyes and pretended to be nonchalantly observing the surrounding scenery.
Mo Sichen looked at her like this, raised the corner of his lips slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
It's interesting that the most famous imperial concubine in Kyoto can be shy.
"My dear, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, the old emperor's voice came into his ears.
Shen Wangshu was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses, "Oh, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't seen such natural scenery for a long time, and I'm a little intoxicated."
The old emperor smiled and patted the back of her hand. "Okay, we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Shen Wangshu nodded.
Seeing this, the old emperor didn't think much about it and continued walking forward.
......
Because the carriage broke down, everyone found a place nearby to stay temporarily.
Mo Sichen was originally sitting quietly on the other side, but for some reason he got so crazy that he asked someone to invite the emperor and her to come over and taste the special snacks and fine wines he brought back from the border.
The old emperor showed great interest in this and pulled Shen Wangshu over with him.
Shen Wangshu looked calm on the surface, but he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he didn't know what tricks Mo Sichen was trying to play...
