After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Because the team was very large and the carts and horses were carrying a lot of heavy objects, their speed was very slow.

Qin Fengtian and his team dared to open the big wooden box only after they drove out of the border of Shengjing.

There is no rare treasure inside, but rather - Nian Qiao Yue.

Nian Qiaoyue huddled in a dark and narrow wooden box, her whole body numb and painful. She endured it for a long time and finally waited for Qin Fengtian to release her.

She climbed up on the edge of the box and sat up. Her hair was disheveled and still stained with some straw from the bottom of the box, as if she was fleeing from a disaster.

"Your Highness, are we out of Shengjing now?" Nian Qiaoyue could hardly hide the excitement in her tone.

Qin Fengtian reached out to help her up, "Come out first, and we'll talk later."

Nian Qiaoyue didn't act pretentiously. She held his hand and stepped out of the wooden box. She couldn't wait to sit by the car window and lifted a corner of the curtain to look out.

The endless fields and the afterglow of the setting sun, the autumn wind brings the breath of freedom.

This means we have already left Shengjing.

Nian Qiaoyue closed her eyes and took a breath, and immediately felt relaxed and refreshed.

She lowered the curtain and looked back into the car. Qin Fengtian had already taken the tools to dismantle the wooden box, and the six wooden boards were neatly stacked in the corner. The space inside the car instantly became much larger.

"Your Highness, thank you for bringing me out." Nian Qiaoyue lowered her head with a smile on her lips. She placed her hands on her knees and rubbed her handkerchief shyly.

That day, everyone in the prime minister's residence knelt down to receive the imperial edict. She was full of expectations, but until the edict was placed in Nian Susu's hands, she did not hear her name.

Of course she was unwilling to accept this. How many women in the harem had never left Shengjing in their entire lives? Nian Susu was also a boudoir lady, but she was able to follow the princess's guard of honor to Xisu State. What she saw and heard along the way must have been something she could never imagine in her life. So she wanted to go too!

She went to find Qin Fengtian that day and begged him to take her with him. She acted coquettishly and pitifully to make him soften his heart. Qin Fengtian finally agreed.

So what happened today happened.

Qin Fengtian scratched the back of his head and said, "It's no big deal. It's just a piece of cake." Although he said that, he felt very happy when he saw Nian Qiaoyue's admiring and respectful eyes towards him.

Nian Qiaoyue bit her lower lip, about to cry, "But will this bring unnecessary trouble to the prince?"

After all, her name was not on the yellow paper.

Qin Fengtian didn't take it seriously. "What's the big deal? There are so many people accompanying us, so what's wrong with bringing one more person? If anyone asks, just say you are my personal maid, and they won't dare to say anything more!"

After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and quickly explained: "Don't worry, Miss Nian Er, I won't really let you do the rough work of a maid. This is just an excuse to the outside world."

Nian Qiaoyue was touched and shy, "Thank you for your concern for me, Your Highness. I will behave myself and will not cause any trouble for you, Your Highness."

Now it was Qin Fengtian's turn to be moved.

……

Although they were sitting on different sides, due to the small space in the carriage, Nian Susu could still clearly smell the faint scent of cedar on Qin Junyu's body, which was bitter and cold, like a silent snow-capped mountain or an ancient deep forest.

It is said that smell is the carrier of memory. Now she smells the scent of cedar, and can't help but think of the day when she was drunk and sat in his arms...

Nian Susu felt his face red and hot, and even his breathing became rapid.

Qin Junyu sat upright and glanced at her sideways, "What's wrong, Miss Nian? Are you feeling unwell?"

Otherwise, why would your face be so red?

Nian Susu didn't dare to look at him, pretending that nothing had happened, but in fact she couldn't hide her panic at all, "No... It's okay, Your Highness, don't worry about me."

How could she be alright? Qin Junyu took a deep breath, moved forward, and reached out to touch her forehead.

Nian Susu subconsciously shrank back.

Qin Junyu grabbed the back of her head so that she couldn't hide, and his other hand gently covered her forehead.

He looked puzzled, "I don't have a fever, why is my face so red?"

Nian Susu looked at him eagerly, "Your Highness, I'm really fine."

Her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

The handsome face so close to her, the calm yet gentle gaze, and the bitter cedar, these three things were enough to magnify all her senses.

Qin Junyu let go of his hand.

Nian Susu swallowed and suddenly felt strange. Qin Junyu was a very sensible person. In the past, he even felt it was an offense to look directly at her. How could he touch her forehead directly now?

Could it be that her behavior that day caused him to misunderstand?

But Nian Susu didn't dislike this kind of physical contact. Instead, she blushed and felt overwhelmed when he approached her. She had never felt this way when interacting with the opposite sex.

She glanced secretly at Qin Junyu, trying to get an answer from him.

He happened to look towards her, and their eyes met. Nian Susu had no time to dodge, and stared at him blankly, almost daring not to breathe.

Qin Junyu chuckled, "What's wrong? Miss Nian seems to be very afraid of me?"

Since she got on the car, she was like a little white rabbit that had fallen into a den, always avoiding his eyes. In the small workshop, she almost shrank into the corner.

Nian Susu straightened up, concealing his panic, and replied calmly: "No, I just think this car is too small and stuffy."

After saying that, she reached out to lift the car curtain.

The wind blew into the car, blowing away the girl's embarrassment at the budding love.

The endless wilderness, the sun hidden behind the mountains far away in the horizon, the sky was filled with fiery clouds and red glow, and the whole sky was dyed red.

Nian Susu simply lifted the entire curtain and lay down by the window to quietly appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, a flock of geese came into view.

"Your Highness! Come and see!" She was reluctant to take her eyes off him, but waved her hand back.

Qin Junyu hesitated for a moment, then moved forward, with his chin almost touching the top of her head.

He looked outside and saw a group of geese arranged in a "human" shape above the brilliant clouds, flying towards the south. Occasionally, a few hoarse but penetrating calls could be heard, which were the communication signals of the geese.

"It's so beautiful..." Nian Susu couldn't help but sigh, his eyes following the wild geese flying south.

Qin Junyu looked down at her and said, "Yeah, very beautiful."

The carriages and horses headed west, and the geese flew south, and they just intertwined like that.

Nian Susu felt a little regretful because he was from the south and had never seen the shocking sight of wild geese flying south for the winter in autumn. Now that he had seen it, it was only for about ten seconds.

She withdrew her gaze, forgetting that Qin Junyu, whom she had called to watch the geese, was behind her. She turned around and bumped into his arms.

"Hiss!" The crisp sound of cedar wood penetrated her nose. She shuddered and looked up, only to see his chin.

Qin Junyu didn't dare to look down at her. Just as he was about to sit back in his seat, the carriage shook, perhaps because the wheels ran over a stone or something else.

He lost his balance and fell forward.

One hand was on the window frame, the other on her shoulder, and his right knee was resting on the seat beneath her.

They moved closer, she was almost pressed against his chest.

Nian Susu heard a flurry of heartbeats, not knowing whether it was her own or his.
