Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

The sun shines through the sparse clouds or the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows, adding warmth and vitality to the April morning.

Biyue lay on the bed, stretched her arms lazily, stayed in bed for a few minutes, then got up, selected a set of spring clothes from the closet, combed her hair, went to the bathroom outside, washed her face and brushed her teeth.

Spring has come, and it is a good season for outings, but there is a war going on at the front, so I have no time to go out for fun. Only when all this is over will I be in the mood to do other things. Today I will go to the front line to see the battle situation.

Two maids were practicing martial arts outside. When they saw the young lady getting up, they came over and asked to bring her some hot water. Bi Yue hurriedly stopped them and said, "I've already washed. Have you finished your morning exercises today?"

Chen Chun said, "Miss, we just finished practicing. Let's go wash our faces now. I can set off with you and Xiaomai after breakfast."

"Okay, go ahead. Xiaomai and I will be waiting for you in the living room."

As they walked to the door of the living room, they saw Jiang Shaoxuan leading two guards to the living room. Xiaomai whispered to the young lady, "Your Highness looks like this, do you want to go with us?"

Biyue looked into her eyes and asked, "Did you two tell him about my birthday?" Xiaomai shook her head, "Xiaohua and I will never tell the Fifth Prince about your birthday."

Jiang Shaoxuan saw the master and servant and was about to say hello to Biyue when he heard people talking about him. He said, "Yueyue, I heard Luo Chen say before that April 4th is your birthday every year, so I remembered it. I know you are going to the military camp to celebrate your birthday with everyone today, so I want to go with you. It will be more lively with more people."

"Well then, your highness, are you all packed? We'll be leaving in a moment."

Xiaohua went to the kitchen to find some food, and after eating, she hurried to the living room.

Seeing that everyone was there, Biyue came to the yard outside the living room. Jiang Shaoxuan ordered two guards to close all the doors around.

Everyone stood at the edge of the yard. Bi Yue took out the box, opened the lid, and a Pegasus carriage popped up in the middle of the yard and gradually grew larger.

The two guards saw this miraculous operation for the first time and were so stunned that their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in them. They stood there in a daze.

Jiang Shaoxuan looked at the expressions of the two guards and laughed out loud, feeling a bit gloating, because he had had the same reaction at the beginning.

Everybody got on the carriage, turned on the protective shield, and the carriage slowly rose into the air. Two guards were sitting in the carriage, still in a daze, their mind wandering.

Jiang Shaoxuan said to the two of them, "Don't be in a daze, Miss Biyue is a fairy, you must keep this matter a secret and don't tell anyone about it, understand?"

Guard A spoke first, "I understand, Your Highness."

Guard B was a little slow before answering, "Yes, Your Highness."

Xiaomai asked, "Your Highness, what are their names? I can greet them when we meet."

"The first one to speak is called Zhao Heng, and the second one is called Zhao Feng. They are cousins."

Chen Chun said, "No wonder they look a bit alike, it turns out they are brothers."

"They were both orphans. I remember that year when I was 10 years old. It was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The prince was out on business and was hiding from the rain in a dilapidated temple. He found Zhao Feng, who was dying, and Zhao Heng was crying beside him. They were only 7 to 8 years old at the time, wearing only single clothes and shivering from the cold.

My elder brother took the two brothers back and trained them as guards. The prince gave them to me as my personal attendants for five years.

Chen Chun sighed sincerely, "The prince is so good to you, he is indeed a good brother."

Zhao Feng continued, "Miss, you are right. His Highness is the prince's younger brother."

When Biyue heard Jiang Shaoxuan's description, she thought that if the two guards had not met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they would have died in that dilapidated temple. At least they were lucky enough to have met good people and survived. Now they are living a good life with the Fifth Prince.

Chen Chun saw two guards sitting there, looking very reserved and nervous, so he said to them,

"You two should relax and sit by the carriage window. His Highness has chosen you two as his personal guards today. Only then will you have the opportunity to ride in this Pegasus carriage. Not everyone has the opportunity to ride in it. This is something from the fairyland. You two are really lucky."

After the two heard what Chen Chun said, Zhao Heng looked at Jiang Shaoxuan and said, "We have to thank His Highness for his support. We are really lucky. The prince saved us and hired people to teach us how to read and write, and how to learn martial arts. Later, we followed His Highness as guards, and now we can sit in this carriage that flies to the sky. This is a great honor in this life."

The two of them squeezed to the window, and Xiaohua said to the two brothers, "Don't be afraid, look down from the window, the scenery is beautiful."

The two listened to Chen Chun's words and looked outside from the window. It was the first time for them to ride in a Pegasus carriage and fly in the sky. When they saw the scene outside the window, they both sighed that they had such an adventure and could overlook the vast mountains and rivers from the sky. They felt excited and nervous at the same time, and they had no regrets in their lives.

It was amazing that I could have such an adventure following His Highness. Not only did I meet the fairy-like Miss Chen, but I could also ride on her Pegasus carriage. I kept this joy to myself and never dared to reveal it to anyone else.

The Pegasus carriage flew across cities in the sky, and the fifth city in front was where we were going today, Shuangfeng County.

After two hours, about five hours, they saw the county seat of Shuangfeng County in the distance. The two guards saw that after several hours, they arrived at their destination and exclaimed that the Pegasus carriage was too fast.

If they rode on horseback, it would take at least two days to get there. They saw two Pegasus in front of them, flapping their beautiful wings and galloping in front of them. It was so spectacular.

The Pegasus carriage stopped in an uninhabited forest ten miles outside the county town, and everyone got off the carriage.

Bi Yue took out the box, opened the lid, put away the Pegasus carriage, and then took out the carriage driven by Zhui Ri.

Everyone got on the carriage. Jiang Shaoxuan asked Zhao Heng to drive the carriage. He sat in the front as ordered, thinking that this carriage was also a Pegasus carriage. Chen Chun told him, "This is an ordinary carriage. This horse is our young lady's mount."

Zhao Feng looked at Bi Yue with admiration, completely awed by this beautiful girl.

The carriage drove quickly into the county town ahead, and with the help of the system, they found the general's mansion. Several people stopped at the door. The two guards guarding the door saw that it was Miss Chen and the others who had arrived, and hurriedly and warmly welcomed them in.

Another person ran in to inform the major general, and soon a group of people came out. Chen Chen, Dongnanxibei, and Luo Chen all came out, happily taking the master and his two servants to a large courtyard.

Chen Chen took the fifth prince and two guards to another courtyard.

Luo Chen said to Bi Yue, "Yue'er, this is the big yard reserved for you. They all moved in. I picked the most beautiful one for you."

"Thank you, Luo Chen."

"That's a must. You are my sweetheart, and I should leave the best for you. That's what I should do."
