Chapter 45 I Can't Help It

Shen Chuwei turned around and saw that the person blocking her was a tall and handsome man.

As a guard, she was indeed new, so she nodded.

"Come on, come to the back. Newcomers must know the rules." Qin Xiao pulled Shen Chuwei to the back.

Shen Chuwei looked at the guards who were a head taller than her. She felt like a chicken standing among a group of cranes when she stood in the middle.

Shen Chuwei was fair and tender, with a petite figure, which immediately attracted the curious gazes of a group of guards.

Wei Chi looked Shen Chuwei up and down, "Who hired this? Why did you hire such a fair and tender kid? Has his hair grown out yet?"

Shen Chuwei raised his fist and said, "Brother, haven't you heard that heroes don't care about their origins, and guards don't care about their heights? The fists speak louder than words."

A group of guards looked at the pink and tender fist in front of them and burst out laughing.

Wei Chi laughed the loudest: "With your skinny arms and legs, your fist can only play cotton, right?"

Shen Chuwei looked at the group of guards who were laughing so hard that they were bent over backwards. She was too lazy to explain. She was not exaggerating. It was not a problem to knock them all out with one punch.

Shen Chuwei arrived at the prince's bedroom first, and Chang Liangdi came right after her and stood waiting at the door.

Xiao Jinyan appeared under the porch in a moon-white suit, holding Xuetuan in his arms. He only saw Chang Liangdi but not Shen Chuwei. He looked around and saw a red figure behind the crowd, and the guards were all staring at Shen Chuwei.

He frowned and told Eunuch Liu beside him: "Let Shen Fengyi take the carriage."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu walked towards Shen Chuwei from one side.

Xiao Jinyan and Chang Liangdi were the first to go out.

Eunuch Liu walked up to Shen Chuwei and whispered, "Miss Shen, His Highness asked you to ride in the carriage."

Shen Chuwei was a little depressed: "Can't I ride a horse?"

"Your Highness didn't say that. He must be worried that the young lady's butt would hurt when riding a horse." Eunuch Liu guessed.

Shen Chuwei said: "Then I can ride a horse and see the prosperous avenue of Chang'an Street."

The emperor and other princes had already boarded the carriage.

Xiao Jinyan and Chang Liangdi got on the carriage one after another.

Eunuch Liu came back and reported, "Your Highness, Shen Fengyi wants to ride a horse."

Xiao Jinyan opened the curtain and didn't see Shen Chuwei. He ordered, "Choose a smaller and more docile horse for her."

"Here." Eunuch Liu Wei Chi picked a smaller horse from the monkeys and led it over to Shen Fengyi.

Shen Chuwei watched as everyone rode on tall horses. She looked around and saw a horse that was smaller than the others.

"Are you holding the horse wrong? Is the horse not yet an adult?"

Wei Chi put the reins into Shen Chuwei's hands and said, "You are a small person, so this horse is the best for you."

After Wei Chi tucked in the reins, he mounted his horse and prepared to set off.

Shen Chuwei looked at the petite horse in front of her. The horse's big eyes, like bells, were also staring at Shen Chuwei, as if to say, we all have short legs~

Most of the troops started to set off, and Shen Chuwei had no choice but to ride on a small horse. Compared with the majestic and graceful ones, she was much shorter.

Shen Chuwei patted the horse's neck and encouraged it: "Horse, although our legs are short, our speed cannot be slower than theirs. Can you walk faster?"

The horse grunted and walked slowly.

Shen Chuwei: “…”

Xiao Jinyan lifted the curtain with his slender fingers and saw Shen Chu on horseback, patting the horse's neck with joy. He curled the corners of his lips and seemed to like this horse very much.

Chang Liangdi was in a good mood today. When she saw Xiao Jinyan occasionally opening the curtains to look outside, a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes. "Your Highness, is there anything new outside?"

"No." Xiao Jinyan replied coldly, then he lowered the car curtain, supported his forehead with his elbow, and planned to close the curtain and take a rest.

Xuetuan nestled beside Xiao Jinyan, with his furry head resting on his forelimbs and his eyes squinting lazily.

Chang Liangdi wanted to chat with Xiao Jinyan for a while, but she saw him closing his eyes and resting. She tried to move closer to the side, but Xuetuan suddenly raised his head and glared at her, baring his teeth at her.

Chang Liangdi retracted her hand in fear. She didn't understand why His Highness brought his pet with him when he went out hunting.

Moreover, when Shen Fengyi was holding Xuetuan, Xuetuan was very well behaved. Why did Xuetuan become so fierce when she approached?

Outside the carriage

Shen Chuwei looked at the horse's old age pace, and turned to look at Wei Chi beside him, "Brother Wei, how about we change horses?"

Wei Chi refused directly, "No, how will I look riding such a small horse?"

"..." Shen Chuwei: "Do I look like this when I ride?"

Qin Xiao looked at the man and the horse, suppressed his laughter and said, "You'd better ride honestly. If you fall down accidentally, you won't be seriously injured."

Shen Chuwei turned to look at Qin Xiao and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, how about we switch?"

Qin Xiao also refused directly: "No."

Shen Chuwei looked at the leisurely horse and thought it would be better to ride in a carriage than to just lie on its back and act like a salted fish.

After leaving the palace, Shen Chuwei regained his energy. Looking at the bustling and prosperous avenue, he couldn't help but want to dismount and take a walk.

Unfortunately, this is the royal team. If you are not careful, you will lose your head.

Shen Chuwei was so greedy as he watched the wife cakes, candied haws and sugar men flash before his eyes.

The bustling streets were filled with all kinds of snacks, many of which Shen Chuwei had never seen before.

I can't help it.

Shen Chuwei patted the horse's neck and said, "Horse, horse, come closer to the carriage."

The horse leisurely moved closer to the carriage, and Qin Xiao tacitly stepped back a few steps to make way.

When the horse approached the carriage, Shen Chuwei held the reins tightly with one hand and placed the other hand on the window. She lifted the curtain with her fingers and saw Xiao Jinyan's beautiful profile.

She called out softly, "Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan just closed his eyes and rested but did not fall asleep. When he heard Shen Chuwei calling him, he opened his eyes and looked out the window, and saw Shen Chuwei dressed as a man.

Her little face was rosy and delicate, and did not need any rouge or powder to embellish it. There was a half-flower-shaped ornament on her forehead, which made her look pretty and charming.

Those clear eyes were looking at him expectantly.

"What's up?"

Shen Chuwei asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, would you like to dismount and buy something?"

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment when she heard the word "subordinate", but she changed her mind quickly: "It's not in accordance with the rules."

Shen Chuwei continued without giving up: "I will catch up and prevent others from finding out."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei's expectant expression, as if he was determined to get off the horse, and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Chang Liangdi curiously looked out the window, wanting to know who Xiao Jinyan was talking to, as his tone was very different from usual.

What I saw was a young face with delicate features that made people envious.

Especially those eyes filled with stars, so dazzling and eye-catching.

And this face is familiar.
