"Hmm?"

Xiao Chengyi looked at her suspiciously.

"Because there are too many people who want to be the Princess Li and there are no other women in this palace. I will naturally cause them to misunderstand if I stay here."

Although Mu Qianyu didn't like to be associated with men.

However, if she was going to make the person she hated suffer a little because of this, she didn't mind the rumors and stuff, as long as she didn't play with the truth.

"That's just their way of thinking."

Xiao Chengyi's expression was cold.

The meaning behind his words was that the women would do whatever they wanted to them and covet the position of wangfei. It was just wishful thinking.

"Your Highness."

Mu Qianyu suddenly stared at him and asked: "Why did you say that just now, was it because you wanted to be hostile towards Zheng Ji?"

She thought that Xiao Chengyi said he wanted to protect her, and was only deliberately going against Zheng Ji.

After all, he did not manage to obtain the Seven-colored Lotus, and since Zheng Ji belonged to the crown prince's faction, it was obvious that the two of them were not on good terms.

"Hur hur."

Xiao Chengyi was slightly stunned for a moment, then looked at her and started laughing, with a very baffling smile.

Mu Qianyu could not understand what he meant.

Since you don't understand it, then don't understand it.

She thought for a moment and then suddenly asked, "But I think that even if those women come to our door, the Prince will still hold himself back. Aren't you the legendary Liu Xialiao?"

She was sure of that.

He was drugged that night, and he was in so much pain that he almost went crazy. He didn't even touch her finger.

Mu Qianyu thought that this was the highest evaluation she had given to a man in her entire life.

Stay calm, let's see what you can do …

Xiao Chengyi just wanted to laugh again.

Finally, without saying a word, he turned around and left without a word.

He was clearly trying to protect her, but she actually thought that he was using her as a bargaining chip to threaten Zheng Ji.

This brain is really good.

Seeing that his master had something to say that he couldn't say, and was forced to leave, Sui Yang felt that it was unbearable, and anxiously said to Mu Qianyu: "Lady Mu, our master is truly very good to you, his meaning is to protect you from being harmed by the Zheng Family, how can you think that Master chose to protect you because of his grudge with Master Zheng?"

"Isn't it?"

Mu Qianyu looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Of course not."

Sui Yang said with a bitter face.

"Then why does he want to protect me? Are we very familiar with each other?"

Mu Qianyu continued to ask.

Sui Yang almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Don't tell me that you're not familiar with our prince? Then who was it that almost told him that the day before yesterday?

"And why do I need the protection of others?"

Mu Qianyu coldly glanced at him, threw down a few words, and then left.

Sui Yang was stunned and wanted to smash into the door frame.

He felt wronged for his master.

It wasn't easy to meet a pretty good girl, but why was this girl's mind always different from others?

Because she had an appointment to ride a horse, Mu Qianyu decided to get up early the next morning.

He began to think about what to wear as soon as he got up.

She didn't want to intentionally dress up. Rather, it was really inconvenient for her to put on a riding outfit and go out on horseback to wear a skirt that was too complicated.

Ancient riding clothes were naturally different from modern riding clothes. There definitely weren't any breeches. It was just a simple dress, but it was a lot more comfortable compared to the jumbled long skirt.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, she seemed to realize that she didn't have a proper riding suit.

It was rare for her to go out riding. If she wore the same clothes as yesterday, she wouldn't even know how to mount the horse.

"Lady Mu, this servant will help you change."

Yue Zhu brought in a set of clothes. It was actually a red horse riding suit.

Mu Qianyu looked at the clothes in her hands in disbelief. Who could understand her thoughts so well?

"The prince specifically ordered someone to send it over."

As if she had seen through her thoughts, Yue Zhu immediately smiled.

"Him again?"

Ye Zichen frowned slightly. This person was really a worm in her stomach.

"Put it there, I can do it myself."

She really didn't like being served by others, so she didn't have to worry about other chores. However, it was fine for her to wear clothes and wash her face by herself.

After changing his clothes and having breakfast, it was already getting late.

If he went out too early, it would be very cold.

Therefore, this was just the right time.

"Why are there so many people?"

Mu Qianyu thought that she and Xiao Chengyi were the only two who could ride the horses.

When they left, they discovered that Nangong Lin was there too. Xiao Chengjue had also ran over, so Luo Jin and the others did not mention him.

Including the guards, there were dozens of them.

Was he going out to ride a horse?

"How can there be so many people?"

Xiao Chengjue looked at her with dissatisfaction.

He thought he didn't have many people with him.

Mu Qianyu ignored him and turned to look at Xiao Chengyi. "I thought it was just you and me."

She did think so.

He thought that Xiao Chengyi had originally planned to ride his horse and ask her about it.

However, just as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her with a complicated gaze.

And she actually couldn't help but ask Nangong Lin: "Why are you going as well?"

Being questioned to the point where he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Nangong Lin helplessly said, "Is it because you only want to go with Cheng Yi alone?"

The meaning behind his words was very clear.

Hearing this, Mu Qianyu shook her head: "That's not true, but I never thought that there would be so many unrelated people.

The person she was referring to was the one by the side, not Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin seemed to be able to understand his meaning, and laughed: "It's almost done, I don't want to be bored inside the residence."

"That's true."

Mu Qianyu nodded and did not speak further.

When the servants brought the horses over, almost all the horses were the same color. Only the black horse in Luo Jin's hand looked particularly dazzling.

"I want to ride this one."

Mu Qianyu did not care whether the horse was given to Xiao Chengyi alone, she just thought that the dark horse was a good breed.

Why did a good horse have to choose a bad one?

"Miss, that is the prince's horse."

Sui Yang reminded them kindly from the side.

Lady Mu, how can you not be so picky?

It was the prince's personal mount. No one else had ever ridden it before.

"But I chose that first."

Mu Qianyu became a little unreasonable.

However, she really didn't seem to have a time to reason with him.

"I'll give it to you first. Do you know that horse is called Lightning? It's my third brother's most beloved mount. Why should I let you ride it? I haven't even ridden it before."

Xiao Chengjue seized the opportunity and started to taunt Mu Qianyu.

It was as if the two of them were naturally at odds.

"Lightning?"

Mu Qianyu walked in front of the black horse, reached out to stroke the horse's head, and could not help but nod: "What a good name."

Although she had not yet ridden the horse, she could see it and think of the way it ran across the fields, fast as lightning.

"It's not that you're not allowed to ride this horse, but it's just that lightning recognizes it as its master. This King is afraid that you won't be able to control it."

Xiao Chengyi saw that Mu Qianyu was staring at Lightning, and knew that she liked Lightning a lot.

It was a pity that Lightning was a spirit of a horse, and not just anyone could ride her.
