The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Three hours passed and the convoy slowly stopped. They needed to find a place to stop and rest for a while.

With a "swish", the car curtain was opened again, and the boy's pleasant notification voice was also heard.

"Royal brother! Royal sister-in-law! It's time to eat... uh."

Li Youchuan never expected that what he would see after opening the curtain would be his brother's eyes that looked as if he was looking at a dead person.

Looking down again, oh, no wonder... the emperor's sister-in-law was sleeping in his arms.

Fortunately, he didn't wake up the emperor's sister-in-law, otherwise, looking at the look in his brother's eyes, he would probably be in great danger today.

But before the boy could pat his chest to catch his breath, the girl in the man's arms actually moved!

"Um...are we here yet?"

The soft and sleepy voice made Li Jinyuan suppress his murderous intent. When he lowered his eyes to look at the girl, only tenderness remained.

"Not yet, stop and rest for a while."

Li Youchuan had never seen his royal brother speak so softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the baby in his arms.

The boy rolled his eyes and then quickly said,

"Sister-in-law, you've been in the car all morning. Would you like to get off and rest for a while? We're camped next to a clear lake. The scenery is beautiful!"

Only then did Jiang Li notice that there was another person in the carriage and realized that she was still nestled in Li Jinyuan's arms. This posture was extremely embarrassing.

"Okay! I'll go downstairs for a walk..."

The girl pushed the man away and followed Li Youchuan out of the carriage.

Li Jinyuan felt the empty embrace, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes showed a little more coldness towards Li Youchuan.

Even though he was reluctant to part with the girl, he did not immediately get up and chase after her.

When the heavy weight in his arms was removed, he felt a tingling and numb sensation in the soles of his feet, and was unable to stand up at all.

……

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Li was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of her.

The surface of the lake is as smooth as a mirror, with green mountains and white clouds leaving clear reflections on the water. There is a long oasis in the lake, with green grass growing freely on it, like a green carpet.

Behind the light blue lake are endless green mountains. The shadows of the mountains are reflected in the water, making it appear clearer and brighter.

At this time, there was a gentle breeze, the air was moist, and carried a hint of the green and fishy smell of aquatic plants.

Jiang Li couldn't help but close her eyes and took a few deep breaths. In modern times, she had been filming movies all year round, and she hadn't seen such a beautiful natural landscape in a long time...

"How about it? This place is pretty good, isn't it? It's worthy of being the place I chose."

Li Youchuan was so proud that he took Jiang Li for a walk around and was unwilling to leave more than three meters away from her.

What a joke! He could tell from his brother's eyes in the carriage just now that it would be most useful to hold on to his sister-in-law's thighs at this moment!

As long as the Empress's wife protects him, why would he be afraid of his brother?!

Jiang Li naturally saw his intention, but she just smiled and didn't intend to expose it.

This silly child, he doesn't really think he can protect him... She can't even protect herself now, who knows if that cold-faced devil will suddenly come after her...

The aroma of firewood wafted towards her. Jiang Li looked back and saw that several imperial guards had already lit a fire with an iron pot on top, which seemed to be cooking rice porridge.

"smell good……"

The girl walked quickly, and when several soldiers saw her and Li Youchuan, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Business about your business."

Li Youchuan raised his hand, and they sat down in panic.

The boy changed his cold expression in front of the soldiers and turned to look at Jiang Li with a harmless look on his face.

"Sister-in-law, we've had a hard time traveling these past two days, so I'll have to ask you to have something simple to eat."

The girl shook her head and looked at the other royal guards stationed not far away, with a moment of worry in her eyes.

"I've been sitting in the carriage all day and haven't felt tired or hungry. On the contrary, these soldiers have been walking all day and their food doesn't even have any meat..."

Hearing this, Li Youchuan's eyes became serious.

Actually, it’s not that they didn’t bring any meat or fish, but they saved it for the people of Changzhou…

The young man's gaze shifted, then suddenly paused.

"Got it! I can take them to the lake to catch some fish! The lake is so big, there must be a lot of fish!"

Jiang Li also widened her eyes, but when she turned to look at the lake, she couldn't help showing a little hesitation.

"Is it really possible... What if this lake is very deep?"

Li Youchuan knew what she was worried about. He raised his hand and patted his chest, looking confident.

"Don't worry, my dear sister-in-law. These imperial guards are all elite soldiers hand-picked by my brother. They are very good at swimming. Besides, we are not going to the center of the lake, we are just going to catch some fish by the lake."

"Is that so..." Jiang Li was relieved, but still couldn't help but remind her, "Then you still have to be careful."

"No problem, sister-in-law, just wait for the fish!"

Li Youchuan winked at Jiang Li, and the next second he gathered several soldiers and rushed into the lake with him.

It was noon and the lake water was warmed by the sun.

As soon as everyone got into the water, they couldn't help but sigh with comfort.

Even though it was almost autumn, these young and energetic guys couldn't help feeling hot after exercising for a whole morning.

Jiang Li approached the lake curiously, and Li Youchuan suddenly stuck his head out in front of her. At this time, the sunny puppy had become a drowned dog, with long hair sticking to his face, but it still couldn't hide his handsome face.

He spat at Jiang Li and then warmly invited her.

"Empress! The water is very clean. You can also cool down barefoot by the lake!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but be moved. In fact, her favorite sport was swimming. Every time after exercising in the swimming pool, she felt indescribably refreshed all over.

But it was impossible for her to go into the water and swim with those soldiers at this time. Not to mention how feudal the ideology of this dynasty was, she felt that even if Li Jinyuan saw her, she would be in trouble...

Thinking of this bastard...it's strange, is he still sitting in the carriage?

The girl looked back for a moment, but when she didn't see him, she just ignored him.

"Okay!"

She raised her hand to call Liusu over, and wanted to pull her to take off her shoes and socks and play in the water by the lake.

But the little girl was unwilling to do so, so Jiang Li did not force her. After taking off her shoes and socks, she sat on a high rock on the shore and tentatively dipped her round little toes into the lake.

"Hmm! It's so cold..."

The white and tender fingertips shrank, but Jiang Li couldn't help but probe down a little.

The rippling lake water rushed onto the instep of her feet, as if giving her a massage. The girl squinted her eyes in comfort.

This was the scene Li Jinyuan saw when he came over.

The girl's smooth skin on her calves was so dazzlingly white in the sunlight that he couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple.
