Zhu Qing'an got up early.

Without waiting for Fu Guang to come and serve her, Zhu Qing'an had already washed up and simply tied up her long hair, completely lacking the refined look she usually had in Ancheng.

After a night of rest, although I could still feel the pain at the base of my thigh, I could walk without any hindrance.

"The princess!"

As soon as Zhu Qing'an opened the door, he saw Bian Jingsheng, who was living in another room, also walking out.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Zhu Qing'an smiled slightly and bowed.

Today, Bian Jingsheng was wearing a dark green riding suit with a drawstring waist. The waist belt was tightly attached to his thin waist, and his eyebrows were deep and his eyes were broad.

Zhu Qing'an discovered that when people mentioned Bian Jingsheng, they always said that he was ruthless, but if you looked closely, you would find that Bian Jingsheng actually had an excellent appearance. However, this good appearance was suppressed by his aura, so people dared not look at it for too long.

"We still have a while to set off. Why did Princess get up so early?" Bian Jingsheng asked.

His eyes subconsciously swept over Zhu Qing'an's action of bowing, and seeing that Zhu Qing'an did not feel any discomfort, he felt a little relieved.

"We went to bed early last night!" Zhu Qing'an said, and went downstairs side by side with Bian Jingsheng.

The downstairs was already filled with Bian Jingsheng's subordinates, sitting in groups of three or four around a table, but no sound was made, which showed that they were strictly disciplined on a daily basis.

"Prince! Princess!" When the guards saw the two people coming down the stairs, they stood up in unison and shouted, scaring the shopkeeper so much that he almost fell to the ground.

Although he knew that the guest staying here was of high status, he never expected that he would be such a big shot. He felt that he had to serve him attentively, otherwise he would lose his head.

Zhu Qing'an paused, as he had not expected these guards to speak like this.

Bian Jingsheng waved his hand and sat down with Zhu Qingan at an empty table in the corner. Soon the servants began to serve breakfast.

The steaming steamers are filled with baskets of buns, and the bowls of vegetable porridge look very refreshing and delicious.

"This place is remote, and the food is indeed a bit simple. Princess, please make do with it for now!" Bian Jingsheng explained.

After all, he had an errand to do. Otherwise, he would not have wronged Zhu Qing'an.

"I understand. Besides, this is already very good!" Zhu Qing'an smiled indifferently, picked up a bun and started eating.

A smile flashed in Bian Jingsheng's eyes, and he also started to have breakfast.

He was really worried that Zhu Qing'an, the noble lady from Ancheng, would not be able to adapt during the journey and might even cry hypocritically. But after just one day, Bian Jingsheng discovered that Zhu Qing'an was much stronger than he expected.

It was him who underestimated her.

Compared to Bian Jingsheng, who ate a basket of steamed buns and drank three bowls of porridge by himself, Zhu Qingan's appetite was obviously much smaller. Of course, it wasn't just Bian Jingsheng who was like this; all the guards were like this as well.

After breakfast, Chuanbai went to pay the money.

The cabinet loader waved his hand quickly and said, "Your Excellency is too polite. It is a blessing for our inn that you can stay here. How can we accept money?"

Upon hearing this, Chuan Bai threw the silver directly to the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Our prince never takes advantage of the common people! Keep it for you!"

Zhu Qing'an had already stepped out of the inn with Bian Jingsheng. After hearing Chuan Bai's words, she couldn't help but look at Bian Jingsheng beside her.

In my heart, I have an even deeper respect for Bian Jingsheng.

In order to keep up with everyone, Zhu Qing'an rode a tall black horse instead of the pony he rode in Ancheng.

As soon as Zhu Qing'an stood in front of the horse, Bian Jingsheng clenched his fist and stretched out his arm.

Zhu Qing'an looked over and saw Fu Guang tying the bundle to the saddle not far away. She did not refuse Bian Jingsheng's kindness and took Bian Jingsheng's arm to get on the horse.

But when she sat on the horse, she found that the saddle was a little different from before.

The saddle she used before was made of cowhide, which was safe but also hurt her legs. But today, the cowhide saddle was covered with a layer of soft fur, which made it much softer and more comfortable to sit on.

Zhu Qing'an didn't think much about it and started his journey with everyone.

While taking a break to drink water, Zhu Qingan took the water bottle handed to him by Fu Guang and asked casually, "You are so thoughtful. Where did you find these furs? It didn't hurt to ride for half a day!"

When Fu Guang heard this, he looked very confused.

"I've never worked with furs before!" Fu Guang took a look and hurried to check next to Zhu Qing'an's horse. Then he said, "This fur should have been peeled from freshly hunted prey. But this person's technique is very skillful. Not only is the fur not damaged, it's not even stained with blood. It's really amazing!"

"Not you?" Zhu Qing'an was puzzled. You know, she only brought Fu Guang with her on this trip. If it weren't for Fu Guang, she would still feel that someone cared about her so much.

"Could it be the King of Loyalty?" Fu Guang guessed, "After all, I heard the guards talking last night about the prince going to the back mountain in the middle of the night!"

Zhu Qing'an's heart trembled, and she glanced at Bian Jingsheng who was not far away. At this time, Bian Jingsheng was instructing his subordinates on the next journey.

Perhaps feeling Zhu Qingan's gaze, Bian Jingsheng nodded slightly at Zhu Qingan. Zhu Qingan smiled back and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Although she felt that Fu Guang's words were inappropriate, after all, that was Bian Jingsheng. Even though his aunt, the Empress Dowager, took better care of him because of his father, Marquis Wen'an, he didn't need to be so attentive and considerate.

But if it weren't for Bian Jingsheng, Zhu Qing'an would never remember who could have done this.

"Why don't you ask the prince later and find out!" Fu Guang suggested.

Yes, you just need to confirm with Bian Jingsheng to know the answer, but Zhu Qingan shook her head, her heart was beating fast.

For some reason, she remembered what Fu Guang said that day, that Bian Jingsheng liked her.

At that time, he thought that what he said was nonsense, but now Bian Jingsheng's various actions made Zhu Qing'an feel uneasy.

On the one hand, she felt that she was overthinking it. Bian Jingsheng could get any woman he wanted, so how could he be so fond of her?

But on the other hand, she felt that Bian Jingsheng seemed to be taking too much care of her.

She couldn't ask. Even if she was just being sentimental, she couldn't break the relationship that she and Bian Jingsheng had accumulated with great difficulty.

They can be friends, partners, or even exploit each other, but there must not be love involved.

It's not just because she only has Shen Shixin in her heart and can't respond to anything Bian Jingsheng says, but more importantly, Bian Jingsheng will be in a high position in the future and she can't afford to offend him.

Of course, Zhu Qing'an was more inclined to think that he was overthinking it.

Zhu Qing'an told herself that after finding Shen Shixin, she would have less contact with Bian Jingsheng. Even if she wanted to make friends with him, she could ask her father to help. As a girl, she really shouldn't have too much contact with men.

At this time, Bian Jingsheng didn't know it, but because of one of his actions, Zhu Qing'an wanted to avoid him.
