After lunch, Shen Qingyan took a walk in the inn and no longer asked to see Gu Beihuai.

Qingmei felt distressed when seeing this. How could she not know that Shen Qingyan was deliberately suppressing herself?

But she could do nothing, say nothing, and certainly not help her princess bear the pain.

"Look, Princess, the maple leaves over there are so red."

Shen Qingyan looked at the maple leaves all over the mountains and a rare smile appeared on her lips.

"Go and have a look."

After noon, the wind had died down a lot. The small hill covered with maple trees was not far from the inn, and the master and servants arrived there in less than an incense stick of time.

Walking along the path covered with maple leaves, Shen Qingyan felt much better. Just as she was about to take a deep breath of fresh air, she saw a young man in red clothes in front of her, leaning against a maple tree, looking at her leisurely.

"Oh, I was wondering which beauty came out of the painting, strolling in the maple forest admiring the red leaves. It turns out that the princess is here to enhance her beauty. Truly, a hundred leaves are not as beautiful as your smile!"

Qingmei couldn't help but roll her eyes at his smooth talk.

"why is it you again?"

Yu Shier raised his eyebrows at Qingmei and said with a smile: "The little girl who splashes water is here too, did you bring any water?"

Qingmei said sarcastically angrily, "Why, do you still want me to splash you?"

"No, I'm just thirsty."

"..."

Shen Qingyan didn't want to see this showy and talkative man, so she said coldly and distantly, "Dr. Yu, enjoy the maple leaves yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yu Twelve was a little surprised and started to chase after him.

"Does the princess really not want to see me? I am a handsome and suave man after all. Even if the princess doesn't like me, wouldn't it be pleasing to look at me?"

"No." Shen Qingyan didn't give him face at all, "Doctor Yu, look in the mirror and admire yourself. Your face is really good, but it's a pity that you have a mouth."

Yu Twelve staggered and almost fell.

Qingmei couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then hurriedly followed Shen Qingyan's footsteps.

Looking at Shen Qingyan's receding figure, Yu Twelve was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Interesting, really interesting, how did Gu Beihuai marry such an interesting woman?

*

Gu Beihuai stood by the window, with his hands behind his back, silently watching Shen Qingyan walk down from the maple forest.

Shen Qingyan accidentally slipped and his heart trembled violently. He wished he could fly over and hug her immediately.

But he couldn't. Before the love poison was resolved, he had to keep his distance from Yan'er.

Just then, soft footsteps suddenly came from behind.

"Your Majesty."

Gu Beihuai turned around and saw Fuling in a goose yellow dress, bowing gently.

"Why are you here again?" Gu Beihuai frowned, looking a little displeased.

What on earth does Shuofeng do? Why did he let people in?

Fuling smiled slightly and explained quickly, "Don't misunderstand, Your Majesty. I just changed my clothes and wanted to show you if it's appropriate. It shouldn't be the same as the princess's, right?"

Gu Beihuai looked indifferent. How could he not know what Fuling was thinking?

"go out."

Fuling did not feel lost or wronged at all, and immediately knelt down and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as she was about to step out the door, Gu Beihuai suddenly spoke.

"Change back to your previous clothes. I will have someone prepare a few more sets for you. You don't have to wear the ones you just bought."

Fuling turned around blankly, somewhat puzzled.

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

Gu Beihuai did not explain, and immediately said: "Starting from tomorrow, you will serve by my side and make sure you never leave my side."

A look of shock flashed across Fuling's face, and she looked extremely terrified.

"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate? If the princess knew about this..."

"Monthly salary, fifty taels."

*

When Qingmei, Zhiqing and Zhiyu learned the news that Fuling was serving Gu Beihuai personally, their first reaction was anger, and their second reaction was how to hide it from Shen Qingyan.

But in the end they failed to come up with any feasible countermeasures, resulting in that when they set off the next day, Qingmei and the others saw Fuling wearing the same clothes as Shen Qingyan, accompanying Gu Beihuai.

Just at this moment, Shen Qingyan just walked out of the room.

Qingmei was quick-witted and immediately rushed forward to block Shen Qingyan's sight.

"Princess, there are a few rocks in front. Please clear them away."

Then he slowly dug at the stones with his feet until Gu Beihuai and Fuling got on the carriage, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Qingyan didn't say much, but got into her carriage quietly.

Gu Beihuai found a new carriage for her and they no longer rode together.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I got on the carriage, I saw Yu Twelve leaning against the carriage. When he saw Shen Qingyan coming in, he quickly gave up his seat.

"Princess, please."

Shen Qingyan frowned, "Why are you here?"

Yu Twelve saw Qingmei holding a kettle in her hand and quickly explained, "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. It's cold, I'm just warming your bed and acting as a groom."

Then he jumped up, took the kettle from Qingmei's hand, and smiled brightly.

"Thanks, water splash girl."

Qingmei was furious and wanted to snatch the kettle back, but Yu Twelve flashed to the coachman's position, cracked the whip, and the carriage started moving forward, forcing Qingmei to quickly steady herself and return to the carriage.

Helpless, Qingmei could only complain angrily, "Princess, how could the prince let him drive the carriage!"

Shen Qingyan took a sip of tea and showed no anger.

"Whatever. No matter who drives the carriage, we can always get back to the palace, right?"

"But……"

Qingmei wanted to say something when she suddenly discovered that Yu Twelve had driven his carriage parallel to Gu Beihuai's carriage. The curtains of the windows of both carriages had been rolled up, which allowed them to clearly see Gu Beihuai and Fuling sitting side by side in Gu Beihuai's carriage.

Qingmei gasped and rushed over to block the window.

Zhiqing and Zhiyu handed the script to Shen Qingyan and poured tea respectively, trying their best to divert Shen Qingyan's attention so that she wouldn't notice.

"My Lady Princess, it's too windy outside. I'd better let the curtain down."

Shen Qingyan did not show much surprise at their busyness and continued to drink tea and read the storybook.

Qingmei couldn't help it, so she secretly opened the curtain and said to Twelve with gritted teeth.

"You deliberately?!"

Yu Twelve blinked and looked very innocent.

"What do you mean by intentional? Didn't I just want to overtake their carriage and let the princess enjoy the scenery along the way in advance?"

"you!"

"Green plum."

Shen Qingyan called out softly, and Qingmei could only retreat back.

During the rest of the journey, Shen Qingyan seemed to be unaware of the existence of Gu Beihuai and never asked about his movements and whereabouts again.

Qingmei wiped away her tears secretly. She knew that her princess actually knew everything but just didn't say it.
