Chapter 503 Extra - A Blessing in Disguise
As the horse galloped along the road, Shu Tong felt the wind whistling past her ears and smelled the man's light fragrance, which had a hint of cucumber perfume.
She hugged the man's waist tightly and realized that his waist was quite slender, but there wasn't an ounce of fat on it. With his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he truly had a perfect figure.
Now that she was out of trouble, her mood eased, and she even became somewhat interested, tilting her head to look at the street scene through his sleeve.
Chen Ci glanced down and saw her peering out, her long eyelashes obscuring the emotions in her eyes, but he could tell that she seemed to be in a good mood.
Chen Ci's lips curled up slightly, and he took the time to turn her head back with his hand: "Don't look around, it won't be good if someone sees you and it gets out."
"Oh," Shu Tong responded sullenly, still resting her forehead against his chest, her eyes still gazing at the scenery on the street.
As she spoke, the streets of the capital rushed past in her eyes, a feeling that was somewhat like the pleasure of a leisurely drive.
Only after the fast horse entered the Crown Prince's residence did Shu Tong hug Chen Ci tightly, burying her face in his clothes.
She absolutely couldn't let the Crown Princess know about this, otherwise it would be another obstacle to bringing the two of them together in the future!
The fast horse arrived directly at the entrance of Wutong Residence. Haitang was eagerly waiting, but when she saw His Highness the Crown Prince riding over, she panicked and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Chen Ci pulled on the reins, patted Shu Tong on the back, and whispered, "We're here."
Shu Tong peeked out slightly and indeed saw the three characters "Wutongju". The huge weight in her heart was lifted instantly, but then it was raised again.
What should she say when His Highness asks her later?
Just as she was quickly thinking of a solution, Chen Ci dismounted and stretched out his arms to her.
Shu Tong was taken aback for a moment: "I... I'll do it myself."
She carefully climbed down the horse's back, stepping on the stirrups, but for some reason the horse suddenly jerked, and Shu Tong, in a moment of panic, let go.
With a soft "Ah," she was caught steadily in Chen Ci's arms.
The man then strode over and carried her toward Wutong Residence. At the door, he called to Haitang, "Get up. Your mistress has been frightened. Go and make her a calming soup."
Haitang replied in a trembling voice, "Yes."
Then she looked up and stared at the back of His Highness carrying Consort Liang and walking quickly towards the bedchamber, completely stunned.
My lord, what is this...?
Did they turn misfortune into blessing?
...
Chen Ci carried Shu Tong into the bedroom and placed her directly on the large bed. Shu Tong's face was burning red.
This was the first time in her life, including her past life, that she had ever been carried in a princess carry by such a handsome man. This feeling... ahhh, it's so addictive!
She covered her face with her hands, then secretly peeked out her eyes after a while, only to be caught by Chen Ci's bright and piercing gaze.
Chen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is Liangyuan scared or shy? Why is she acting like a timid little woman?"
Shu Tong hesitated for a moment, then lowered her hand: "Your Highness, I..."
She pursed her lips, her mind racing: "I just missed the outside world, so I went out for a stroll... but I got lost..."
"Oh?" Chen Ci looked at her with his deep eyes: "Just going out for a stroll?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Shu Tong nodded vigorously: "Let's take a stroll..."
Chen Ci's gaze lingered on her face for a long time, but all he could see were her bright black eyes blinking as she looked at him.
It looks really good.
But what she said...
