Qingli really didn't expect to meet them in this mountain, especially since they were traveling together.
Although the scenery of this mountain is nice, few people come here for an outing because they all go to the mountain next to it. There is a temple called Miaoyun Temple on that mountain. It is very popular and its fame in the capital is second only to Huangjue Temple.
She rode the horse alone, without a maid accompanying her. She galloped forward, enjoying the comfort brought by the strong wind, but she did not expect to see them here.
There is a small waterfall next to it, with water flowing loudly. The water splashing from high above has polished the rocks into a smooth and beautiful state.
The last time we met was in the palace, and I didn't see any interaction between the two of them at that time.
One is Princess Yongning Zhao Xuan who is about to get married, and the other is Guo Youbai who is about to marry into the royal family as a princess. They don't look like they are dating, especially now. Zhao Xuan is holding a dagger and wearing men's clothes, and Guo Youbai is also dressed in black with his hair tied up high. It is obvious that he is teaching Zhao Xuan martial arts.
Qingli was riding too fast and had no time to dodge, so she had to rein in her horse and stop.
The two people standing on the ground looked at her with vigilance. From their eyes, Qingli first saw murderous intent because she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
But soon, they seemed to remember her identity, looked in the direction she came from, and then restrained their expressions.
Qingli was not afraid at all. No matter her status, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, and she was no less afraid.
"Oh, it seems I've struck it lucky today, meeting two beautiful ladies while out for a stroll." Zhao Xuan spoke first. "So it's the wife of the Duke of Wei. Are you here with the Duke?"
Qingli dismounted slowly, his movements smooth and flowing, with a smile on his face, and replied to her:
"My husband is busy, so I came here on my own. Princess, this dress fits you well, and you look very heroic, like General Guo. It would be good for you to learn some self-defense skills, so that you can feel more at ease. But it's best not to let the Mongols know, so as not to make them wary of you."
Zhao Xuan subconsciously looked at the person next to her.
Guo Youbai weighed the pros and cons and naturally would not turn hostile. "Thank you, Madam. I only sympathize with the princess and cannot bear her unfortunate fate."
Qingli nodded. Guo Youbai was kind-hearted, but he forgot that her fate over the past decade had been even more difficult than Zhao Xuan's.
Zhao Xuan used to be Zhao Qing's most beloved daughter, even better than the legitimate daughter. She had enjoyed more than ten years of wealth and glory, but now she ended up being married off to a foreign army. It can only be said that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Zhao Qing lost, Zhao Yu half won, and with the concubine and younger brother threatened by the wife, Zhao Xuan suffered.
"If I remember correctly, the Mongolian envoys will depart in five days. Princess, are you praying at Miaoyun Temple?"
"Yes, that's right."
Zhao Xuan felt uncomfortable after being caught with something wrong.
"Then Princess, please be careful. When I was leaving the city, I saw the carriages and horses from the eldest prince's palace. It looked like they were also leaving the city."
Zhao Xuan's pupils shrank, realizing that her stepmother was afraid that she would run away, so she came to pick her up earlier than the agreed time.
As for this?
She said she came to pray for her father, so she wouldn't run away.
Could she abandon her mother and brother and run away on her own? Could she escape? Would the Emperor let her go? Would the Ninth Princess, Consort Shu, and the others let her go?
"Those Mongols, I really want to kill them!" Zhao Xuan hated many people. She hated the royal family for being ruthless, but what she hated most were the Mongols who stirred up trouble.
Why don't they marry the prince to Zhao State and let him be a leisurely consort? Just keep him as a fun-loving concubine.
It really gives them face!
But the emperor's grandfather is so eager to marry the princess off!
Qingli saw Zhao Xuan's anger and helplessness. Indeed, who wouldn't hate in such a situation?
Guo Youbai gnashed his teeth and said, "One day, I will flatten the Meng Kingdom!"
