Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Cheng turned to look in the direction of the pergola. Emperor Jing Xuan was chatting happily with the Princess of Western Jin and was not paying attention to them at all.
Bai Xihe said calmly, “I can’t instruct a deputy commander of the Imperial
Guards, right?”
Su Cheng said in his heart, “No.”
He hung the quiver on his saddle and mounted. He called another man to take his post while he led Bai Xihe into the forest.
Little Yunzi followed behind the two of them silently.
As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, Su Cheng had long scouted the path in the forest in advance to ensure the safety of this hunt. He did not bring Bai Xihe deeper and only wandered around the periphery.
Neither of them said anything, like a real ruler and minister.
Bai Xihe looked at his back and pinched the reins. She said calmly, “Commander Su, are you planning to never talk to me again?”
Little Yunzi lowered his head.
Su Cheng said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Bai Xihe said, “I think you’re very bold.”
Su Cheng couldn’t answer.
“I’m thirsty,” Bai Xihe said.
Su Cheng casually untied the water bag at his waist and planned to turn around and hand it to her. Halfway through, he remembered that he had drunk this before and immediately put away the water bag.
“I’ll get you some water.”
There was spring water nearby and a wild lotus pond.
Bai Xihe looked at his fleeing appearance and said coldly, “Commander Su, aren’t you afraid of encountering danger if you leave me here alone?”
“Uh…” Su Cheng scratched his head.
Bai Xihe thought that he would hand over the water bag, but he said seriously, “Then, let’s go together.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Bai Xihe was speechless.
The three of them came to the spring. Su Cheng went to the wild lotus pond to pick lotus leaves. In the countryside, they often used lotus leaves to fill the water, which was better than ordinary leaves.
Bai Xihe didn’t drink much.
Right on the heels of that, the few of them returned to the forest to hunt. Coincidentally, the three of them encountered the Princess of Western Jin and the young Princess of Western Jin.
The young Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty had originally played with the Sihu with Princess Hui An, but Sihu was still young and easily tired.
The young Princess of the Western Jin was bored, so she wanted to come to the forest to hunt. The princess of the Western Jin could not dissuade her, so she came in with her.
Moxie came with them but went to chase after the little rabbit.
“Your Highness, Little Princess,” Su Cheng greeted politely.
The Princess of Western Jin nodded slightly. “Grand Empress Dowager, Commander Su.”
Bai Xihe had a calm expression.
The young Princess of the Western Jin blinked and looked at Su Cheng. “Are you Qin Su’s father?”
“Yes,” Su Cheng replied.
The young princess of Western Jin was on good terms with her daughter, so Su Cheng treated her more patiently than others.
The young Princess of Western Jin asked, “Have you seen Qin Su? I want to look for her.”
The case was solved. The little girl was not here to hunt at all. She was here to play with Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Cheng said, “I haven’t seen her since I came in.”
“I see.” The young princess of the Western Jin was disappointed.
