The farther you go north, the less people you see.
The God of Spring finally visited this land, and the snow that had been frozen for a whole winter slowly began to melt. However, this was not good news for the team.
The muddy ground after the snow melted made it more difficult to move forward. Sometimes, the wheels got stuck in the mud puddles, and several horses were unable to pull.
Even though it was so difficult, the hearts of Jokhang Dynasty’s wedding team were much lighter than before because the Princess who had been lingering on the sickbed was getting better day by day. For them, Princess Chaoyang was their backbone.
Jiang Rui had been learning the Beidi’s language these days. She absorbed it very quickly. She had learned daily conversations in just a few days. Even the envoy who taught her was amazed.
In the evening of this day, the convoy camped beside a lake.
It had been sunny for several days, the temperature had warmed up, and the snow on the road had finally melted away. The green tender grass sprouted from the ground, the green grassland, and the blue lake. This was a rare beauty they had seen after walking for so long, except for yellow sand and white snow.
Jiang Rui changed her clothes and makeup. She put on her curtain hat and planned to get out of the carriage to get some fresh air.
Qiuhua stood aside and hesitated to speak. They had been walking from the capital for more than a month. Apart from staying at the inn, this was the first time that the Princess took the initiative to get off the carriage.
The Princess was willing to go out and walk, so she was naturally happy. Being bored in the carriage for so long could make even a good person sick, not to mention that the Princess had just recovered from a serious illness.
But she was also worried about whether she would encounter those unreasonable Beidi people when she got out of the carriage. When the Princess was in good health, she could not even withstand the collision of those barbarians.
After finishing dressing, Jiang Rui looked left and right in the bronze mirror.
Even though she had experienced so many worlds and seen so many beauties, seeing the face of Princess Chaoyang for the first time, she was still amazing.
Jiang Rui originally thought that she was not a face-seeking person, but at this time, a sentence also appeared in her mind: a good-looking person has the right to be willful.
“Bring me my golden whip,” She ordered.
“Yes.” Qiuhua subconsciously agreed, and then she reacted and said hesitantly: “What does the Princess want the golden whip for?”
The whip was one of the betrothal gifts sent by Beidi. It was paired with a golden dagger. In the past, the Princess would not even look at it.
Jiang Rui put down her curtain hat and tilted her head. The beads strung on the edge of the hat swayed with her movements. “What else can I do? If I meet people who don’t have eyes, I can only use a whip to open their eyes.”
Qiuhua took a breath. Of course, she understood the meaning of the Princess’s words.
The Princess’s health had improved in the past few days. While she was relieved, she also noticed that the Princess seemed to have changed her temperament. At the moment, it seemed that it was not an illusion, but she didn’t say much. She just respectfully found the golden whip and presented it.
It was the time for people to cook. The people from Beidi and Jokhang Dynasty were clearly separated.
Jiang Rui got out of the carriage, followed by a few entourages, and walked slowly to the lake.
The endless green grassland, at the end of the grassland, the fiery red sunset was slowly sinking, and the sky and lake water were dyed red by the rays of light.
It was rare to see such a scene in the Jokhang Dynasty. Qiuhua, several palace maids, and chamberlains exclaimed quietly.
But the tranquil atmosphere was quickly broken by the sound of horse hooves. Qiuhua looked back warily, then approached Jiang Rui, and whispered: “Princess, it’s General Beidi.”
