The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

The group set out from Bianliang in a mighty procession, like a long dragon.

Walk along the flat official road for fifty miles, then turn into a rugged mountain road. That difficult mountain road is the only way to Mount Shu.

Shushan is located in the north of Bianliang. It is a large mountain forest with majestic and steep peaks, dense jungles, and large areas of flat and beautiful lawns.

The Shushan Hunting Ground is a paradise for rare birds and animals. They roam freely in the mountains and forests. The difficult mountain roads and the area enclosed by the royal family as hunting grounds seem to be a natural barrier, allowing the wild animals inside to grow freely without being disturbed on a daily basis.

When the fierce sunlight at noon spread all over the earth, the group finally arrived at the Shushan Hunting Ground.

The Shushan Hunting Ground is divided into the outer field and the inner field. The outer field is where everyone camps and rests. There are also some small prey, such as rabbits and pheasants. These small animals are very suitable for entertainment for the female family members.

The situation in the inner area was different. It was covered with dense jungle and there were many ferocious wild beasts. Men who were not good at riding or shooting would not dare to enter easily without the protection of guards.

Today, Emperor Gaozong is wearing a bright yellow riding suit, looking heroic and dashing, like the reincarnation of the god of war.

Although he is over 50 years old, his face is still handsome and energetic, as if the years have left no trace on him. Only his cold temperament makes people intimidated.

The day before, the waiters of Shanglinyuan had arrived at the hunting ground and carefully prepared all the supplies for the hunt, including tents, food, and daily necessities.

As in previous years, when the team arrived at the outer field of Shushan Hunting Ground, the eunuchs respectfully led Emperor Gaozong into the tent to rest for a while, while the other personnel were led into the corresponding tents by the waiters of Shanglin Garden according to their titles and official ranks.

Only after Emperor Gaozong of Nan entered the tent did the rest of the people relax and stand up.

The presence of Su Yi and Mu Jin was undoubtedly the focus of the scene.

Everyone knew that Su Yi would come to the hunting ground with his fiancée today. When they saw Su Yi emerge from Mu Jin's carriage, they knew that the woman Su Yi brought back from Dongyue Kingdom held a special place in his heart.

The appearance of the two was even more eye-catching, both of them had an innate nobleness and a willful and flamboyant temperament, which made it difficult for people to look away. It seemed that men envied them and women were jealous of them.

The Lin family's carriage was parked behind Su Yi. After Lin Yeru was helped off the carriage by the maid, she caught a glimpse of Mu Jin and Su Yi standing side by side.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Yi and Mu Jin, and they didn't pay any attention to her at all.

You know, hasn't she always been the most dazzling one?

Lin Yueru must have dressed up carefully today. The jeweled pearl hairpin on her hair sparkled brightly, and the red gauze skirt was even more gorgeous.

This full set of decorations made her look extremely beautiful. If it weren't for Mu Jin, with her family background and clothes, she might have become the most dazzling person in the entire hunting ground.

However, with Mu Jin's fairy-like beauty around, her red gauze skirt seemed much more frivolous. Although it looked gorgeous, it gave people a feeling of incongruity and overdoing it in such an occasion.

Seeing that her limelight was completely snatched away by Mu Jin, Lin Yueru bit her lip and stared at Mu Jin with vicious eyes.

However, she recalled that before she left the Lin Mansion, Lin Jingtian had warned her not to provoke Mu Jin and to maintain a good relationship with Su Yi, so she could only hold her anger.

Lin Yueru calmed herself down, forced a smile, and walked in front of Su Yi and Mu Jin despite everyone's strange looks. Although she was talking to Mu Jin, her eyes were glued to Su Yi.

She pinched her throat and said in a sweet and charming voice, "Miss Mu, what a coincidence, I never thought that I would meet you at this grand event of the royal family of Nanshu Kingdom."

After that, she covered her face with her fan and chuckled, "We are really destined to meet."

Lin Yueru said this to mean that Mu Jin, as a citizen of Dongyue, should not participate in such an important event of their Nanshu Kingdom.

Mu Jin smiled and nodded, but did not reply to her.

Originally, Su Yi and Mu Jin were standing there, like a beautiful scenery, but Lin Yueru suddenly came in, and everyone felt that she was a little redundant.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mu Jin had no intention of paying any attention to her, but how could someone as confident and arrogant as Lin Yueru have such an awareness?

Lin Yueru continued, "Half a month ago, when you came to my Lin Mansion for a gathering, I felt that Miss Mu and I had a sense of familiarity from the moment we met. If I wasn't afraid of disturbing you, I would have sent a letter to the Princess' Mansion to meet you again."

Lin Yueru spoke to Mu Jin in such a polite and cultured manner that she seemed to have been reborn, without any trace of her usual domineering nature.

This scene shocked the female guests present, and Mu Jin found it extremely ridiculous.

Although Mu Jin had a smile on her face, when she occasionally glanced at Su Yi's eyes, her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be talking to Su Yi.

"Look at your stupid cousin. She either took the wrong medicine or had her head hurt. She said this herself. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, doesn't she feel disgusted when she says this?"

Lin Yueru looked like this, and there was no sign of them "hitting it off at first sight" at all. It was obvious that she "hated Mu Jin to the extreme".

After Lin Yueru finished speaking, she walked straight towards Su Yi without caring whether Mu Jin replied or not, her eyes full of undisguised affection, and spoke softly.

"Brother Yi, why didn't you ride a horse today, but took the carriage with Miss Mu? I saw that Miss Mu's carriage is so small, it would be bad if Miss Mu was squeezed."

"Next time, if Brother Yi wants to ride in a carriage, it's better to ride in Ruer's. Ruer's carriage is bigger and more comfortable to sit in."

Lin Yueru's intimacy with Su Yi during their conversation seemed to be announcing to everyone, even if Mu Jin and Su Yi stood side by side, what did it matter? She, Mu Jin, was an outsider after all, and only she and Su Yi were a perfect match.

Su Yi raised his lips slightly and sneered, "I remember that this is not your first visit to the Shushan Hunting Ground. In previous years when the weather was fine, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel, so even the emperor's carriage was much smaller than before."

"But your Lin family's carriage today is almost the same size as the emperor's. It's so majestic!"

"But it's really hard for those guards. The continuous rain has made the roads difficult to travel. And because your carriage is too big, it is extremely difficult to travel. The team behind you has been delayed for a long time because of you."

Lin Yueru was so frightened by Su Yi's sarcastic remarks that her face turned as pale as paper.

In previous years, Lin Yueru would have ridden in this princess carriage with Nan Wenhui, but this year Nan Wenhui caught a cold and did not come with them. How could Lin Yueru, who loved to be in the limelight, be willing to ride in a small carriage that matched her status?

So in order to attract everyone's attention today, she insisted on riding in Nan Wenhui's princess carriage to the Shushan Hunting Ground.

But Lin Yueru forgot that although Nan Wenhui was her grandmother, Nan Wenhui was not around, and at this moment she represented the Lin family.

Su Yi continued, "I was away from Southern Shu for a year, and I didn't even know when the court changed the system to allow officials' carriages to be larger than those of the royal family."

After Su Yi finished speaking, he looked around at the people present and asked, "Who can tell me when the Southern Shu Kingdom changed its system and why no one informed me."

Su Yi's words were like a loud slap in the face of Lin Yueru and the Lin family. This undoubtedly showed that the Lin family had violated the etiquette. An official's carriage dared to be more luxurious than that of the royal family. It was no exaggeration to say that they had wolfish ambitions.

This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If the emperor blamed them, it would not be unfair to execute their entire family.
