The corner of Chu Lian's mouth twitched. Nothing good ever happened every time she met Prince Jin. He hadn't left a shred of mercy in his words for her. Didn't he know that women hated being called fat?!

Furthermore, it was the frail-looking, thin type of beauty that was favoured in the Great Wu Dynasty.

Chu Lian managed to squeeze out an awkward smile for Prince Jin before introducing Sima Hui to him.

Sima Hui had a straightforward and brave air about her from her time spent in the army. She had traded the reserve that most noble ladies possessed for an easygoing, dignified attitude.

Somehow, the fourth prince who rarely interacted with unfamiliar ladies got along with her rather well.

Chu Lian followed behind them while holding the reins of her mare, looking at their backs with the spark of an idea forming.

The author of the original story had only mentioned Sima Hui in a single line. From what she knew, the fourth prince had never even met Sima Hui before. However, the two of them seemed to get along like old friends.

Chu Lian's almond-shaped eyes began to sparkle. Even her lips curved up.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, her horse suddenly changed directions and tried to head towards the side of the road, giving her a fright. When she quickly turned to look, she realised that it was all He Sanlang's doing.

She complained, "He Changdi! What are you doing?"

He Sanlang turned to her with a faint smile as he continued leading her horse away. "Teaching you to ride."

Chu Lian cried out in alarm as the gentle mare under her suddenly started galloping. Her face turned pale from fright. Just as she felt as if she were going to fall off the horse, something tightened around her waist and pulled her up into the air. When she finally regained her senses, she was already sitting on He Changdi's mount.

Chu Lian was still in a panicked state. She tightly held onto He Sanlang's narrow waist once she was ensconced in his embrace.

Despite having only one hand on the reins and one arm around Chu Lian, He Changdi was at ease even as his steed was galloping freely.

As they travelled under the clear sky, there was a warm, genial smile on He Sanlang's face that had never been seen before even in his past life.

Once Chu Lian had recovered her breath, she pinched his arm in a fit of anger.

He Changdi's eye twitched in pain. He lowered his gaze and helplessly said, "Chu Lian, if you continue pinching me that hard, I'll lose my grip on the reins and we'll really fall off the horse."

Chu Lian glared at him fiercely. "You're not allowed to do that anymore!"

He Sanlang looked down and placed a kiss on her smooth, flushed cheek. "Then you can't let anyone else teach you how to ride next time. Only I'm allowed to teach you."

"I know how to ride now, so there's no need for you to teach me."

It wasn't hard to ride a horse. The hard part was getting used to the bumpy ride.

He Changdi raised an eyebrow in question. "Are you sure you've already learned how to ride?"

Chu Lian refused to give in. "Didn't you watch me just now? I was riding that horse perfectly fine."

Just as Chu Lian finished speaking, He Changdi urged his horse on with a low shout. The handsome steed responded by accelerating its stride and flying into a gallop.
