Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace

The next day, Mrs. Chu quietly asked Chu Yue, "Yuer, what do you think of Zhang Zeyu?"

"How about what?"

"Personality and appearance?"

"Good."

Mrs. Chu smiled brightly, "Yuer, Zhang Zeyu and his friends are going to Dongyi Mountain to hunt tomorrow. Why don't you go with them? The snow scenery on the mountain is especially beautiful. You've been staying at home since you came back. It would be great to go out and play with people of your age."

"Mom, it's hard to tell whether a man or a woman is a man. If I often walk with Zhang Zeyu, someone will spread rumors. Then our reputation will be damaged and it will affect his marriage."

"Yuer, you and Zhang Zeyu have been playmates since childhood. Going hunting is not like being alone together. There are so many people present, no one will gossip. Mother sent Zhou Ming to follow you to protect your safety."

Chu Yue wanted to refuse, but when she saw City Lord Chu coming, she smiled and said, "Yuer, just listen to your mother and go out and play with them. It's not good to be stuck at home all day. In a few days, your eldest brother will come back with the refugees, and there will be no one to play with you."

"The Zhang family contributed money and effort this time, encouraging Shucheng businessmen to help the refugees build houses in the barren mountains a hundred miles outside the city. With houses, the refugees can spend the New Year in peace."

Seeing that his parents said so, Chu Yue didn't think much about it and had to agree.

She thought that if so many people went hunting together, there wouldn't be any bad rumors spread, and she also wanted to go out and relax.

The next morning, Chu Yue, Zhou Ming, Zhang Zeyu and their group set off for Dongyi Mountain.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and Chu Yue gradually relaxed.

When we got to the foot of the mountain, we were shocked by the white snow scenery. The mountain peaks were covered with snow, as if they were wearing a thick hat.

The mountain stream froze into ice in the cold, and the ice surface was like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding snow scene.

The trees were covered with heavy snow. Some of their branches were bent as if they were bowing to people, while others stood upright as if they were guarding this peaceful world.

The snow scenery on the mountain is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.

Three young ladies came today, and three young gentlemen all brought their guards with them.

"Yuer, you and the three girls stay in the carriage and watch the snow. We'll go hunting and roast some game for dinner."

"Okay, stay safe."

When Zhang Zeyu heard Chu Yue's concern, he was immediately overjoyed.

The other three girls came to Chu Yue's carriage and sat and chatted, "Chu Yue, we will invite you to come and play at such banquets in the future."

"Lin Shan, I don't really like this kind of banquet."

"You are not familiar with everyone, it's fine once you get familiar with them. Come out and have fun before you get married. After you get married and have your parents-in-law around, who can be so casual?"

"You make it sound like getting married is like entering a dangerous place, with no freedom at all."

"How can a newly married woman have any freedom? She should stay at home and serve her husband and parents-in-law. Even so, there are still new wives who are not welcomed by their in-laws."

"Why do women have to get married? Is it just to marry into someone else's family and serve their parents-in-law and husband? I think it's unfair."

"Chu Yue, every girl gets married when she grows up. No one will want her when she becomes an old maid."

"If you can't get married, then don't get married. It's good to stay at home."

"That's because your parents love you and your sister-in-law is tolerant, otherwise you wouldn't be able to live like this."

"I'm not as lucky as you. My parents are determined to marry me off. During this period, matchmakers have been coming to our house every day to propose marriage. I'm so annoyed."

"I don't want to marry anyone casually."

"Lin Shan, what kind of man do you want to marry?"

"At least let me like him! How can you marry someone without even seeing him? How can you marry someone without even knowing whether he is round or square?"

Chu Yue asked quickly: "Do you want to meet?"

"You definitely have to meet each other and try to get along. This is a lifelong event. It will be too late to find out that the two of you are not suitable after you get married."

Chu Yue was shocked. Her parents wouldn't want her to get along with Zhang Zeyu, right? Otherwise, why would they encourage her to go hunting with him and attend his birthday party?

At this time, there was a cheer from outside. It turned out that Zhang Zeyu and his team had killed a deer.

"That's amazing! Young Master Zhang has a good family background and good character. Whoever marries him will be blessed."

"Why don't you marry him?"

The three of them smiled meaningfully and said, "We are not that lucky."

Chu Yue was now even more certain of her parents' thoughts, and the fact that they all knew about this made her feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Zeyu dragged the deer to the side of the carriage and asked the cook to prepare it for roasting at noon.

Zhang Zeyu looked at Chu Yue and said, "Yuer, you can taste fresh venison later. Roasted venison is especially delicious."

Chu Yue responded indifferently. She was full of melancholy. How would she reject Zhang Zeyu when she returned? Others had not expressed their attitudes. If she rashly told him that she had refused, it would be embarrassing if he didn't have that kind of interest in her.

At noon, everyone gathered around the campfire, enjoying the delicious roasted venison. The laughter and conversations intertwined together, making this cold day not feel cold at all.

On the way back, Chu Yue kept thinking about this question. The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Chu Mansion. When she got out of the carriage, she saw Lu Chen standing at the gate.

She thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes hastily and when she opened them again, she still saw the handsome prince.

She couldn't believe it. Why did he come to Shucheng? His mother, Princess Shuti, loved her son so much, so why would she let him travel thousands of miles to Shucheng, Xixia? Chu Yue was puzzled.

Lu Chen came to Shucheng with a nervous mood. He finally saw Chu Yue, whom he had been thinking about day and night. A complex emotion surged in his heart, both excited and nervous.

His eyes were fixed on Chu Yue, as if he wanted to engrave her figure in his heart.

Chu Yue's beauty was like a painting, which intoxicated him. He saw her smile, which was the warmth that often appeared in his dreams. Now it was truly presented before his eyes, making him feel extremely happy.

However, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he was unable to speak for a while.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but my heartbeat was getting faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.

He walked to the front of the carriage and looked into Chu Yue's eyes, his eyes revealing deep longing and attachment.

Time seemed to stand still as they were so absorbed in each other's gaze that they forgot everything around them.
