Although the suburbs are not too far from the capital, it still takes some time.
It was already noon when Ji Ruoyu and her group arrived at the destination.
"Wake up, ladies, we are here."
Qiuyu's voice woke up Ji Ruoyu and Pan Mengqiu who were already asleep.
"Woo? How long have I slept?"
Dongmei said as she helped Ji Ruoyu tidy up her hair.
"Girl, you fell asleep as soon as you got on the carriage. It must have been about an hour."
Ji Ruoyu was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she hurriedly changed the subject.
"The scenery here is so beautiful. Sister Mengqiu, I can't wait to race with you."
"Come on, let's see who can take first place."
After the two changed into clothes suitable for riding, they each chose their favorite horses in the stable.
"Start!!"
With the order from the servant, Ji Ruoyu and Pan Mengqiu each waved the whip in their hands to try to make the horses run faster.
'Just'
Pan Mengqiu has been riding horses since she was a child, so she is naturally better and faster in this competition.
Seeing this, Ji Ruoyu also tried her best to make the horse run faster.
'Just'
At the terminal, Qiuyu, Dongmei and Pan Mengqiu's maid Hanxue had been waiting here for a long time.
I saw a horse getting closer and closer to the terminal not far away, and the other horse was a little farther away but not willing to fall behind.
The distance between the two horses was sometimes close and sometimes far, so the three people at the terminal did not dare to bet.
"Ms. Mengqiu's horse looks faster, but the second lady's horse is not bad either."
"I always think that Miss Mengqiu will win."
Sure enough, it was Pan Mengqiu's horse that arrived at the terminal first, followed by Ji Ruoyu's horse.
"Sister, you are too good, I can't catch up."
Ji Ruoyu got off the horse panting, with joy on her face after playing.
"You have improved a lot compared to last year."
Pan Mengqiu also praised Ji Ruoyu generously.
"Tell me, what is my punishment?"
Pan Mengqiu pretended to think for a while.
"Then punish you to sleep with me tonight."
After Ji Ruoyu agreed with a smile, she and Pan Mengqiu led the horse to the manor where they would stay tonight.
As night fell, the two of them finished their dinner and came to the hot spring that Ji Yuanbo mentioned.
It was really comfortable to soak the whole body.
Even Pan Mengqiu kept praising this hot spring.
After going to bed, Ji Ruoyu lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
Ji Ruoyu looked up in a daze.
"Not really, it's just that tonight seems to be particularly quiet. I'm a little uncomfortable."
Pan Mengqiu nodded.
"Not completely, right? You have something on your mind."
This was not a question, but a very firm tone.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from my sister."
Ji Ruoyu sighed.
"I just feel that I will marry the third prince in a few months. I always feel that time flies by so fast. Sister, do you remember? We said we would marry into the same family."
Pan Mengqiu also recalled the past.
"Yes, we were only about five or six years old at that time. Now it has been more than ten years."
Ji Ruoyu turned over and looked at Pan Mengqiu with a worried look.
"Sister, what kind of person do you think the third prince is? Is he ugly or handsome? Will he treat me well?"
Pan Mengqiu was unsure and could only say something to reassure Ji Ruoyu.
"Don't worry, Yu. Although we have never seen the third prince, as far as I know, the third prince personally went to ask His Majesty for your marriage. I think since he asked His Majesty for you, he will definitely not treat you badly. Why would the third prince ask for His Majesty's imperial decree?"
Ji Ruoyu thought about this question for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be that you met him once, and then he fell in love with you at first sight, and then went to ask for an imperial decree? Have you had contact with any strange men before?"
The first person that came to Ji Ruoyu's mind was Pei Zhi, but she quickly put this idea behind her.
It is impossible for a prince to be stabbed to save himself, nor would he sneak up on the eaves of a boudoir in the middle of the night.
Off topic: Teng Haojue (sorry, I am:)
Seeing Ji Ruoyu shook her head to deny it, Pan Mengqiu did not force it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember it, don't think about it anymore. Otherwise, you will think about it day and night again."
Ji Ruoyu said with a "hmm".
"Sister, we will be fine. We must live well."
Pan Mengqiu comforted Ji Ruoyu.
"I will, don't worry."
Thinking about it, the two fell asleep unknowingly.
It was already the morning of the next day when they woke up.
After finishing breakfast and packing up, they were ready to go back.
On the way back, Ji Ruoyu saw a stall selling pancakes on the street.
"Stop, I'm going to buy some pancakes. Do you want some?"
Ji Ruoyu was almost drooling at the smell of pancakes. After asking a few people, she planned to go down to buy some.
"Miss, let the maid come. Miss, just sit down."
Ji Ruoyu waved her hand.
"I can go alone. You just wait for me here."
After that, she got off the carriage and came to the pancake stand.
The pancake vendor looked at Ji Ruoyu's clothes and knew that she was a lady from a wealthy family.
"What do you want, miss?"
"Give me ten pancakes with fresh meat filling and five pancakes with vegetable filling."
The pancake vendor knew that a big customer had come, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were all smiling.
"Okay! I'll wrap it for you right away. The fresh meat filling is eight cents, and the vegetable filling is five cents. A total of one hundred and five cents."
The pancake vendor handed the wrapped pancake to Ji Ruoyu.
Ji Ruoyu took out several pieces of silver from her purse and handed them to the owner of the pancake stand.
"No need to change."
After that, she took the pancake and left.
"Oh, thank you, young lady, you are so kind."
As Ji Ruoyu got on the carriage, the carriage left immediately without staying for a while.
At this time, the man sitting in the porridge stall next door looked up at the gradually leaving carriage.
"Nuda, did you see the person just now?"
Murong Tifan asked the man in front of him as he watched the back of the carriage leaving.
"I saw the master clearly, she is a hundred times more beautiful than the women from Teng State that we have seen since we came here for so long."
What Nuda said was not an exaggeration. They have been staying in the inn for the past few days. They have seen all kinds of people, but this is the first time she is so beautiful.
The accents of these two people are strange, and you can tell they are not from Teng State.
'The carriage just now was the carriage of the Taiwei Mansion. '
'In other words, the woman just now is the second lady of the Taiwei Mansion? '
'Probably, the eldest daughter has already married. The only one left is the second daughter who will marry Prince An in a few months. '
The discussion of others reached the ears of Murong Tifan and Nuda who were drinking porridge.
"Heh, this is interesting."
After Murong Tifan muttered this, he drank the porridge in the bowl in one breath.
