The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 154 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (8)

Shui Zhizi felt relieved, as long as she didn't embarrass Dong Meng.

"Then how many concubines does your King Lai have in his harem now?"

Xin Zhuyou subconsciously looked up and met Shui Zhizi's eyes. There was a smile in her eyes, which did not seem like she was asking questions, but rather curious.

"The king has been busy with government affairs since he ascended the throne, and there are currently no other women in the harem." Xin Zhuyou said cautiously.

When Xin Zhuyintong was still a prince, his mother had already decided for him to marry the princess of Dongmeng, so there were indeed no concubines in the harem.

Shui Zhizi glanced at Xin Zhuyou, and Xin Zhuyou really didn't say a word.

Xin Zhuyin had no concubine, but as far as Shui Zhizi knew, there was always a woman following Xin Zhuyin.

Although she has no official status, there should be everyone who doesn't know about the existence of that woman.

"Really? Third Prince, don't be nervous. I am not a jealous person. I just want to understand my future living environment."

What I want to know more is how powerful the famous military strategist prince of Lai State is?

In fact, compared to Xin Zhuyin, the person she is about to marry, Shui Zhizi is more curious about the third prince of Lai State, Xin Zhuyou, who is standing in front of her at this moment.

On the second day after Shui Zhizi requested marriage, Prime Minister Lu gave Shui Zhizi the news about the current King of Lai, Xin Zhuyin.

A very warlike and even somewhat cruel man, this is the Prime Minister's evaluation of Xin Zhuyin.

Shui Zhizi doesn't care what kind of person Xin Zhuyin is.

She was going there to marry a foreign prince, not to really get married and live a life together. On the contrary, Shui Zhizi felt that the third prince in front of her should not be underestimated.

The reason why Xin Zhuyin was able to ascend to the throne in the treacherous court of King Lai was mainly because his mother was resourceful enough.

But after Xin Zhuyin ascended the throne, he was not recognized by the court officials of Lai State at first. Xin Zhuyin was cruel and murderous, and the relationship between him and the court officials of Lai State was very tense for a time.

At this time, it was the third prince Xin Zhuyou, who had always had little presence in Lai State, who stepped forward to mediate and eased the relationship between the monarch and his subjects in Lai State.

Later, Xin Zhuyin was gradually recognized by court officials because he won several battles while traveling abroad.

Without exception, Xin Zhuyin, the military advisor, was involved in all these battles.

Shui Hao wanted Lai State and Dong Meng to attack Xilin together, but Lai State was now facing internal and external troubles and could hardly protect itself.

So after Shui Zhizi got married, what she had to do was to find a way to solve the internal and external troubles of Lai State.

Shui Zhizi's intuition told her that the third prince Xin Zhuyou could play a big role in the affairs of Lai State.

"I understand." Xin Zhuyou replied to Shui Zhizi.

"Hehehe."

"What are you laughing at, Princess?"

"I find the Third Prince interesting." Without waiting for Xin Zhuyou to ask anything, Shui Zhizi took the initiative to answer Xin Zhuyou's questions.

"The way the Third Prince calls himself in front of me has always been very interesting."

Ever since Xin Zhuyou first took the initiative to talk to her, he has always referred to himself as "I". Logically, Xin Zhuyou should call himself a foreign official in front of her.

Xin Zhuyou's eyes flashed. He thought Shui Zhizi would not bring it up.

"Because when I first met the princess, I already knew that she had asked for marriage.

Then I will not be a stranger to the princess in the future, but I cannot call you the princess's wife now. I can only call myself "I" all the time. Please don't blame me, princess."

"What you said makes sense. I have no reason to blame you." Shui Gardenia curled the corners of her lips.

Isn't it really because of the self-esteem and pride in my heart that I cannot tell others about?

She has a strong sense of self-esteem, but there is no ambition in her eyes. Shui Zhizi doesn't dislike her.

Xin Zhuyou glanced at Shui Zhizi calmly, and she really didn't seem angry at all.

This is a bit too easy to talk to. People with this kind of personality will not go over well in the royal court of King Lai.

"Alright, Third Prince, come back tomorrow to watch over me. I will stop practicing here today."

Shui Zhizi turned over and got off the horse, but because she had been riding for too long, her legs and feet were stiff and she staggered a few steps.

But he was helped by Xin Zhuyou, who was an excellent horseman and dismounted immediately after hearing Shui Zhizi's words, so he did not fall.

"Princess, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to stare at you. I was just a little bored, so I stayed at the horse farm."

It's true that I was bored, but there were so many places I could go, but I chose to come to the horse farm. It was because I was too curious about Princess Dongmeng who had volunteered to marry.

Shui Zhizi stood there for a long time without moving. If it were normal, Shui Zhizi would have twisted her waist and rubbed her legs after getting off the horse.

But now that there are outsiders here, Shui Zhizi still has to pay attention to her image.

"Thank you." Shui Zhizi was thanking Xin Zhuyou for supporting her.

"It is our Dongmeng who failed to entertain the Third Prince well. In this case, I will send someone to accompany the Third Prince to have a good look around Dongmeng Kyoto tomorrow.

The Third Prince does not need to be in a hurry to refuse. I know that the Emperor has already had someone take you around Kyoto, but the places I took the Third Prince to are definitely different from those taken to others."

Shui Zhizi really didn't want to be stared at by Xin Zhuyou like this every day.

She herself knew how bad her horsemanship was.

Xin Zhuyou has seen her fall several times in the past few days. It’s okay for Shui Zhizi to embarrass herself, because everyone will fall when they first learn to ride a horse.

But she is not only Shui Zhizi, but also the eldest princess of Dongmeng. If she falls down in front of the people of Lai, it will really damage the reputation of Dongmeng.

"Xin Zhuyou will follow the arrangements of the eldest princess."

Shui Zhizi nodded and said nothing more.

Xin Zhuyou didn't say anything else. He just followed Shui Zhizi one step behind.

Several times during the journey, he reached out his hand to support Shui Zhizi. However, although Shui Zhizi kept stumbling, she never fell.

Only after watching Shui Zhizi leave in the carriage did Xin Zhuyou touch his sweaty hands. Princess Dong Meng did not fall, but he was so nervous that his hands were sweaty.

However, the smell of medicine on the eldest princess was so strong that it could be smelled from several steps away.

However, she is training so hard that she is unwilling to relax for even a moment, so the medicine she applies may not have much effect.

Or maybe it’s because Dongmeng is a vast land with abundant resources, and the medicinal materials here are much better than those in Lai State.

"Prince, why did you come back so late today? Why is your face so red? Did you get bitten by mosquitoes in the stable?"

"Nothing. I'm just too hot from horse racing."

After Xin Zhuyou finished speaking, he walked into his room without giving anyone else a chance to ask him any more questions.

How should he tell others? He was wondering whether the water gardenia medicine would work.

Somehow I ended up thinking about where injuries usually occur when riding a horse, and ended up embarrassing myself.

Even if Shui Zhizi doesn't send Xin Zhuyou away tomorrow, Xin Zhuyou might not be able to go to the horse farm for the time being.

God knows why he embarrassed himself so much.

Xin Zhuyou thought that Shui Zhizi said she would send someone to accompany him just to get him away, but he didn't expect that Shui Zhizi really found someone to accompany him, and the person's status was not low.
