The weather was clear and refreshing. Clouds were drifting slowly in the sky. A light wind blew past, blowing away all the irritation in one's heart.
At the entrance of the capital, Xuanyuan Chen was holding onto a Ferghana Horse that was galloping a thousand miles a day.
Xuanyuan Jing was leading a white stallion, a rare Ferghana Horse.
Xie Qingrong sat in the private room on the second floor of Gourmet. It was the same seat she had sat in the last time she had welcomed the Crown Prince of Chu.
This position allowed him to have a panoramic view of all the people at the city's gate.
Xie Qingrong's exquisite white fingers were holding a white porcelain wine cup that was unique to Gourmet. In the cup, there was not wine, but fruit wine, a light blue like lake water.
He shook his finger slightly, and the fruit wine in his cup also lightly swayed, causing a few small ripples. If it was enlarged, it would be like a breeze blowing from a calm lake, and it would wrinkle the lake's surface.
Beautiful indeed.
Xuanyuan Chen held onto the reins of the horse, although he knew that Xie Qingrong would not come to the capital to send him off, a trace of sadness still flashed through his heart.
With a trace of disappointment in his heart, he jumped onto the horse. However, just as he was about to mount the horse, he saw a faintly discernible figure in the corner of his eyes. He could not see Xie Qingrong from that angle, but Xie Qingrong could see him.
Xuanyuan Chen pulled the reins, allowing the horses to take two steps forward, they could see Xie Qingrong's figure completely, he raised his wine cup and toasted, and downed the entire cup.
Extremely free and easy.
Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips, his phoenix eyes twitched, and his eyebrows shot up in the corner. In an instant, Xie Qingrong felt as if the sky had turned dark, and what remained in front of him was only a touch of the seductive color of a peach flower.
Xuanyuan Chen tried his best to suppress the churning inside his heart, his fingers tightly gripped the reins, the veins on his hands were popping out, but he still turned around.
Xuanyuan Jing lightly glanced at the second floor of Gourmet that Xuanyuan Chen was staring at intently, he could not see what was there, but seeing that Xuanyuan Chen's indifferent expression had a little bit of excitement on it, the corners of his mouth raised into a smile that he did not know what was going on.
"It is rare to see third brother so excited. Could it be that there is someone sitting on top of third brother who caused him to be so excited?" Xuanyuan Jing taunted indifferently, as a trace of disdain leaked out from the corner of his eyes.
Xuanyuan Chen only swept a faint glance at Xuanyuan Jing with his tail behind him, as the corner of his mouth hooked up. Although he was smiling faintly, his smile did not reach his eyes, "In the future, when Princess Consort Chen personally sends this king off, this king will naturally be ecstatic.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing's fingers that were holding onto the reins tightened immediately, a hint of fierceness leaked out from the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something, and a thought-provoking smile appeared on his lips, "Third brother, you don't need to flirt with this duke, do you think that you and I need to take care of each other on the way?"
As he spoke, he whipped the horse and it whinnied at the sky as it galloped out of the city gate. Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen followed closely behind, and the guards behind followed the two princes, forming two long lines.
They left the capital in a grandiose manner. They had to reach the first stop before nightfall.
When they arrived at the relay station, the sky was already a little dim. Just as Xuanyuan Chen was about to tie Xun Mei up to the stable's fence, he heard light footsteps coming from behind.
The corner of his mouth curled up as he silently slowed down the movements of his hands.
Just as the man was about to reach him, Xuanyuan Chen dodged his charge with a flash, smiled coldly, and looked extremely sharp: "Who are you?"
Standing in front of Xuanyuan Chen was a person wearing a guard uniform. He wore heavy armor, his lips red and teeth white, his skin as white as snow, and the admiration and love in his eyes almost spilled out.
Hearing this, she paused slightly before taking off the armor she was wearing. In a flash, her hair fell down like a waterfall.
"Big Brother Chen, I am Consolidating Jade." Taking off the helmet, the woman's clear face revealed itself. It was the beautiful Ye Ningyu that shocked the soul.
It was a pity that Xuanyuan Chen did not have any pleasant surprise or excitement from meeting Ye Ningyu at all.
The fretful Ye Ningyu, who was like sticky candy, had actually followed him here in this way.
She suddenly remembered that Xuanyuan Jing had said that they would take care of each other, but she didn't expect that it was actually like this.
That would really disappoint him.
Xuanyuan Chen coldly glanced at Ye Ningyu's bashful face and impatiently turned around to leave, but he was stopped by Ye Ningyu. Xuanyuan Chen struggled, but he did not manage to struggle free.
Ye Ningyu's eyes were brimming with tears, her limpid eyes looked somewhat pitiful under the tears, "Big Brother Chen, do you not like me at all in your heart? When you were young, you said that you would marry me when you grew up.
Xuanyuan Chen raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and looked away from her teary eyes with disdain. The thin lip pursed its lips and said indifferently: "Miss Ye, there are differences between males and females, can you let go of my sleeves first?"
Ye Ningyu unwillingly let go of her sleeves and ran her fingers across the smooth surface of her clothes.
Xuanyuan Chen walked forward leisurely, and left without turning his head back.
"Don't take my childish words seriously." A low and cold voice seemed to come from the horizon, bringing with it an endless chill.
Ye Ningyu sat on the ground without caring about her image, her hands covering her face, tears flowing out from the gaps of her fingers.
The sunset slowly fell into the horizon, and the last rays of light disappeared from the land. The moonlight gradually illuminated the entire land.
With that in mind, Xie Qingrong finally arrived at the relay station before nightfall. As expected, she saw Xun Mei's figure in the stables of the relay station and placed Treading Snow next to Xun Mei. Xun Mei smelled a familiar smell and rubbed her hands on Treading Snow next to him.
Seeing that, Xie Qingrong smiled, and went upstairs to look for Xuanyuan Chen.
Just as he turned the corner of the second floor, he heard a burst of water sound. He was a little suspicious as to what Xuanyuan Chen was doing.
When they arrived at the entrance of Xuanyuan Chen's room, the entire room was brightly lit, as if it was bright as day. The only difference was that the transparent window paper seemed to be covered with a layer of thick water vapor.
Xie Qingrong suddenly realized that Xuanyuan Chen was bathing inside.
He raised his foot and was about to leave.
But who was Xuanyuan Chen? Qing Gong and internal force were both incredibly high. He had heard the sound of footsteps a long time ago. However, he felt that the footsteps sounded familiar, so he did not stop him for a while. As soon as the footsteps reached the door, he became alert.
"Who is it?"
