Lin Ke opened the door for Fengyin, and she got into the carriage.
Spiritual Incense saw Fengyin but did not recognize her. Just moments ago, she had been focused entirely on Hibiscus and had not noticed Fengyin at all. Clearly, the only women present were her and Jinse. She softly said, "This carriage is for me and Sister Jinse; you should go to the back."
Upon hearing this, Fengyin got out of the carriage.
Hibiscus was already mounted and watched as Fengyin exited the carriage. He dismounted and asked, "What happened?"
Fengyin shook her head in silence. After a few questions yielded no answers, he decided to let it go. He called Lin Ke to add a saddle for Zhu Feng, positioning her sideways in front of him, pulling the reins with both hands and wrapping his arms around her.
"Are you scared?"
Fengyin shook her head. Mel, Zhu Qing, and Xuan Li all witnessed this scene.
"Your Majesty, it seems the princess is throwing a little tantrum again," Mel remarked, understanding Spiritual Incense as they all saw Fengyin get out of the carriage.
Xuan Li spurred his horse and was the first to set off, with Mel and Zhu Qing following closely behind.
Hibiscus whispered in Fengyin's ear, "Hold on tight."
Fengyin was unconcerned; she could stand even in midair. This level of difficulty was nothing to her. Seeing her calm demeanor, Hibiscus felt reassured and urged his horse forward. Zhu Feng proved to be a swift steed, quickly catching up with the three ahead.
"Sister Jinse, was that maid just now mute?" Spiritual Incense asked Jinse while enjoying some candied fruit and admiring the scenery.
Jinse elegantly shook her head. Her eyes were solely on Xuan Li; she had not paid attention to anyone else. Hibiscus was someone she found hard to comprehend.
"Sing for me," Hibiscus said in Fengyin's ear.
In the north, there is a Beauty, isolated and independent.
One glance captivates the city, another glance captivates the nation.
Do you not know the allure of a captivating city and a captivating nation?
Such a Beauty is hard to find again.
The song is ethereal, as if witnessing that solitary Beauty, untouched by the world, leaving one somewhat entranced.
"Is there really such a Beauty?" Mel asked.
"Do you not know the allure of a captivating city and a captivating nation? Such a Beauty is hard to find again," Xuan Li pondered.
"If there truly is such a woman, she must be the Goddess from the rumored Misty Mountain," Zhu Qing remarked with some admiration, as Misty Mountain is located in the north.
Hibiscus smiled without speaking.
"Miss, sing another song," Mel said gracefully.
Fengyin glanced at Hibiscus, seemingly asking for his opinion. Upon receiving a nod from him, she shyly cleared her throat.
Feeling a bit nervous, she momentarily didn't know what to sing and awkwardly looked at Hibiscus. Seeing her forlorn expression, he said, "Then don't sing."
After waiting for a long time without hearing any song, Xuan Li couldn't help but turn around, only to see Fengyin sitting sideways on her horse, swaying her skirt; there was no sign of any song being sung.
"Miss, sing another song."
Fengyin innocently said, "I forgot because I was nervous."
"Then sing it again," Mel lamented. "You haven't forgotten that too, have you?"
Fengyin nodded.
The feeling of wanting to hear something yet being unable to is truly tantalizing.
Cheating had also been driven mad by this, forgetting the name of a beautiful song and feeling like crying when unable to find it.
Of course, there were plenty of classical tunes in this world, as ancient people loved them. There would be more songs to come. Jinse lightly plucked and sang for Xuan Li, and there were also the songs of the children of the rivers and lakes.
"What is that maid doing on Brother Mugen's horse?" Lingxiang Princess had just pushed open the carriage door when she saw Hibiscus carrying Fengyin down from the horse.
Jinse slightly parted her lips and looked on from behind. She couldn't help but turn her phoenix eyes towards Xuan Li, gazing at his face with a hint of melancholy in her heart. She was so focused on her beloved that she didn't notice the flicker of ruthlessness in Spiritual Incense's eyes beside her.
Hunting was essentially a picnic; men would bring back wild game while women would prepare it on the grass, packing up any leftovers to take home.
Several young masters, full of vigor, leaped onto their horses and rode deeper into the forest. Hibiscus glanced back at Fengyin, who was helping the maid build a fire, before spurring his horse onward.
"The princess calls for you," Blossom patted Fengyin on the shoulder. Upon hearing this, Fengyin set aside her task and followed Blossom to stand before Spiritual Incense.
"I've been in this carriage for quite a while; my back aches. You maid, give me a massage; there's no need for you to busy yourself with dirty work," Spiritual Incense pouted her lips, looking quite regal.
"Isn't that inappropriate?" Jinse interjected.
"Sister Jinse, what's wrong with that? It's better for her to massage me than to do that dirty and tiring work," Fengyin said as her delicate hand rested on Spiritual Incense's rounded shoulder, gently kneading it while Spiritual Incense made all sorts of demands.
Jinse furrowed her brows lightly, feeling refreshed, but worried about how Spiritual Incense would react if she saw this. She invited Spiritual Incense to enjoy the natural scenery, and with her playful nature, Spiritual Incense agreed, but insisted that Fengyin accompany them.
"Are you afraid to show your face? Take off your veil for this princess," she said. Seeing Fengyin shake her head gently only made her more irritated. Blossom, witnessing this, slapped Fengyin. Jinse hurriedly stepped in to shield Fengyin and frowned, saying, "Princess, please calm down." She then took Fengyin behind her and walked deeper into the forest, with Lingxiang Princess following along.
Since their master was resting under the canopy, the people outside were unaware of the scene unfolding inside.
"Does it hurt?" Jinse asked softly, looking at Fengyin's lowered eyelashes.
Fengyin shook her head. "It's nothing serious."
Jinse couldn't help but look at her differently. Even though anyone else would have cried after such mistreatment, Fengyin's eyes remained calm and inscrutable, much like Hibiscus.
The path was filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers; the scenery was truly beautiful.
"I want to go hunting with Brother Mugen," Lingxiang Princess said, causing Fengyin to receive another slap. However, her anger had already diminished significantly. She followed the hoofprints ahead. Jinse, feeling weak, sat down after walking a short distance. Fengyin stood beside her; the mountain wind was chilly and slightly damp, causing Jinse to shiver involuntarily.
"Here, eat this," Fengyin offered her a pill that emitted a faint fragrance. "This is the Fragrant Pill; taking it will ward off the cold." It was more than just a remedy for cold; this small pill could also regulate the body and restore it to its normal state even from illness. Remarkably, after consuming it, one's body would emit a subtle fragrance.
After taking the pill, Jinse felt less of the chill that had previously enveloped her and felt much lighter. Suddenly, a sharp scream from Spiritual Incense broke through the tranquility, prompting her to stand up quickly only to see that Fengyin had already leaped into action.
Lingxiang Princess had encountered a venomous snake; even though she had startled it by throwing stones near a cliff edge, it was still dangerous. By the time Fengyin arrived, Spiritual Incense was crouched on the ground facing off against the dark snake, tears welling in her eyes from fear as she had never seen such a terrifying creature before. Fengyin swiftly flew over and grabbed the snake by its neck before throwing it off the cliff.
Just as she intended to turn back and ask Lingxiang Princess if she had been bitten by the snake, a sudden force struck her from behind, causing her to lose her balance and fall from the edge of the cliff. Spiritual Incense watched as Fengyin fell into the seemingly bottomless abyss; peering over made her dizzy, and she began to cry.
