So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Before Chu Yu's accident in the original world, she had a horse riding scene while filming "Hua Qing Yin".

This is also why she was so confident about coming to ride horses in the first place.

But when she actually saw horses in this world, she suddenly realized that she was a little too wrong!

Compared to the docile, small horse chosen by the prop master, the "small" horse that Jingyin chose for her was practically a behemoth.

What she didn't know was that in a border town like Fengzhou, all the horses were military warhorses, of excellent bloodlines, and raised by special people from a young age.

Whether in terms of physique or performance in all aspects, he is top-notch.

Jingyin kept a close eye on the person in his arms. They had already left the city through the north gate and were heading towards the pastures and grasslands on the outskirts of the city.

What is Xiao Chu Chu thinking about?

He didn't look excited, but he didn't look scared either.

Why does such a little kid always have such a profound and unfathomable expression?

He happened to see her several times, and if he hadn't personally brought her back from the Shen family and raised her under his own nose, he would have doubted her real age.

Chu Yu came to her senses and realized that she was already in front of an endless grassland.

"Brother! It's a grassland!"

Being young, they forgot their fear as soon as they saw something new and interesting.

Jingyin wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace, his tone becoming more serious: "Be careful, you dare to move around so high up."

The little girl completely disregarded his warning, tilting her head slightly and smiling as she said, "No! Brother will protect me!"

"What if your brother couldn't protect you?"

This question stumped me. "Then...then my brother will come to save me too, right?"

The man's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was deep and clear: "Yes, your brother will protect you and save you."

He paused, then added in a low voice, "You are my life."

So even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect you.

-

The wind was strong on the grassland, so Jingyin dared not lead his men on horseback.

I simply walked around with her a few times, keeping my back to the wind.

The man was tall and strong, completely shielding the girl in his arms from the wind.

As the sun begins to set, the temperature drops noticeably.

Jingyin took the cloak from the accompanying shadow guard and wrapped Chuyu up like a little dumpling, leaving only her big eyes showing.

Save it to watch the sunset.

Sunset over misty trees, the mountains stretch for miles in the twilight.

The sunsets beyond the Great Wall are magnificent and unique, truly breathtaking.

If it weren't for wanting to show her this beautiful scenery, Jingyin would never have let her come to the grasslands on the outskirts of the city at this time.

Even though he was wrapped up like a little brown bun, he was still worried.

Night fell quickly after the sun set.

Just when Chu Yu thought she was going to be wrapped up like this and taken back by the man, she saw a carriage parked next to her at some point.

?

"elder brother?"

Jingyin dismounted and then took the little rice dumpling into his arms.

"It's chilly at night, let's take the carriage back."

Chu Yu's small face was almost completely covered by the hood of the cloak, and she responded indistinctly.

The carriage looked simple and unassuming, but inside it was quite different, basically no different from their usual imperial carriage.

The warm yellow candlelight created a cozy atmosphere, and soft brocade quilts had already been laid out on the couch inside.

Jingyin stripped off her cloak and stuffed her directly into the warm quilt.

"what?"

The little girl only realized after crawling into bed that there was a hot water bottle inside. The whole bed was warm and cozy.

She turned to look at the man, only to see him take out a black lacquered box with gold-painted lotus and brocade patterns from the side, and then bring out four dishes and a soup, which he arranged on the square table.

Seeing her looking over, Jingyin explained in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you'll be hungry. You can have dinner in the carriage, is that alright?"

He had clearly made ample preparations, but he still wanted to ask for her opinion.

It has been like this from the very beginning; she has been given the right to choose in everything and has been given the utmost respect.

This respect and power comes not only from identity and status, but from genuinely placing the other person on an equal or even higher position.

No matter how big or small the matter, I would patiently ask for her opinion, and as long as it did not violate my principles, I would always put her wishes first.

If a child doesn't understand something, he never simply rejects her advice. Instead, he patiently explains and guides her correctly.

The young boy raised his little girl very well.

Chu Yu played all afternoon and didn't need to be coaxed to eat dinner; she ate a whole meal obediently.

The return journey took longer than the outward journey, so the speed was kept very slow to ensure a smooth ride for the carriage.

Leisurely holidays always seem to pass by in a flash.

Before they knew it, it was time to return to the palace.

Normally, she could get a few extra days off by flirting with a man.

This year is quite special, as Jingyin's twentieth birthday, also known as the Emperor's Birthday, is just around the corner, and they need to return to the palace in advance to make preparations.

The good news is that the Regent's faction has already been eliminated.

They can now enjoy the grand feast in peace this birthday celebration.

Strangely enough, ever since she regained consciousness that time, Jingyin has never mentioned anything about it again, not even a single word.

Little Milk Cake secretly told her that Lin Qingyue had told Jingyin that she had suffered a shock and lost part of her memory, and that it was best not to mention the massacre of her family and the Regent again.

What the man cared about most was her past heartbreak, and now that he heard she had forgotten it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's better to forget about it.

It's best to forget about it.

His little princess will only need to remember those happy and joyful moments from now on.

And, from now on, there will only be him in her life, right?

-

The Emperor's birthday celebration was held together with His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony, so one can imagine how grand it was.

However, Jingyin repeatedly emphasized that everything should be kept simple.

Firstly, he no longer had any elders, and the only person who could tie his hair into a crown for him was the old tutor Xie, with his pale face and white hair.

When he was still the crown prince, Xie Taifu served as his tutor.

Jingyin had always held this learned teacher in high esteem.

Apart from that, only officials of the fifth rank or above and some of their families were invited to the banquet.

After the incident involving the Regent's faction, the court was temporarily pacified, making it a good time to win over the court officials.

Jingyin initially disdained to do so, but later, for some reason, he agreed anyway.

A rumor has been circulating widely in Beijing lately.

It was said that His Majesty was ruthless and showed no mercy, and after taking down the Regent's faction, he planned to continue to purge the court. It was Princess Yuanjia who advised him to be benevolent and use a policy of appeasement.

This led to the extraordinary decision to invite all officials and their families to the palace for the grand birthday banquet.

The current dynasty has an open social atmosphere and very few restrictions on women.

For example, Lin Qingyue was a proper fifth-rank female physician in the Imperial Medical Academy.

The prejudice that women should not participate in politics does not exist.

Therefore, as soon as the rumor came out, people praised Princess Yuanjia for her humility, gentleness, and virtue, saying that she truly deserved the name "Yuanjia".
