Lu Huan thought about it and felt that he should cover not only the faces of the men and women in Ping Kang Fang, but also Su Xi's face.

After a while, he furrowed his brows and took out a light veil from somewhere. It looked pure and flawless and was even a little translucent. However, he covered Su Xi's face with it. Soon, the palace maids around Su Xi couldn't see her face. They could only see Su Xi's pair of eyes that were exposed and rolling around.

Su Xi, "…"

The palace maids, "…"

Su Xi was unconvinced and wanted to pull off the veil, but Lu Huan held her wrist and stopped her. He asked pleasantly, "Is the veil uncomfortable?"

"It's not — —" The veil was very breathable. Wearing it was the same as not wearing it, but why couldn't she show her face?

With her appearance in men's clothing, she was prettier than others. Maybe she could even attract the attention of some beautiful women. Su Xi changed the topic and said, "Yes, it's very uncomfortable. It's too heavy."

She didn't know where Lu Huan had gotten his hands on an even lighter crimson veil. There were even two butterflies embroidered on it. He looked at her gently with an expression that said, "I can even get the lightest veil in the world for you."

Su Xi, "…"

Forget it. The crimson veil was flirtatious. It would scare the young ladies away.

She reluctantly put on the veil and looked up at Lu Huan's handsome face that was still exposed. She said very unwillingly, "If you want to wear it, both of you should wear it together. What does it matter if I wear it alone? Just because you're my boyfriend, you can have double standards?!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Huan's face lit up when he heard her words. He shyly asked someone to bring over a black veil and said, "Xiao Xi insisted that I wear it. It's okay if you don't let me show it to others."

Su Xi, "…"

The palace maids beside her had probably been ordered to not make any expressions or make any sounds no matter what they saw or heard. Otherwise, they would be beheaded.

At this time, they saw the young emperor, who was completely different from the usually serious and expressionless Sacred Monarch, who was like a different person. They could actually endure it and stand aside like a wooden stake.

Only Su Xi's heart had turned into a screaming chicken.

She glared at Lu Huan. "Both of you are wearing masks. What kind of place are you going to go to?!

Those who don't know will think that we are going to break out of the prison! "

Lu Huan's eyes lit up. "Then let's not go. There are plenty of places for just the two of us to go!"

"No." Su Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wear it then."

She put on the veil, and Lu Huan also put on the mask gloomily.

It looked like a young master who was about to throw an embroidered ball for a bride and an emperor who was about to rob the execution ground.

Lu Huan had also changed into casual clothes. He was wearing the same color as Su Xi, but he was much taller than Su Xi. Over the past three years, the tall teenager had gradually developed into a tall and stalwart man. At this time, he was between an adult man and a teenager in bright clothes. Even if he wore a mask, he still stood out among the crowd.

He waved his hand, and the palace maids retreated. Then, a few guards that he had already arranged came in wearing casual clothes.

These guards were dressed like the servants of an ordinary aristocratic family in the capital. They looked relatively low-key and not ostentatious.

Lu Huan held Su Xi's hand and walked out of the palace.

Because he intended to take her around, there was no imperial carriage. Only two umbrellas were held by the guards behind them. They were not the Emperor's yellow parasols, but the light silk umbrellas commonly used by ordinary aristocratic children in the capital.

Along the way, the people in the palace had already been cleared away in advance.

Su Xi followed him out of the Daming Palace, bypassing the Supreme Liquid Pool, passing through the Hanguang Palace Hall, and entering through the Xuanwu Gate. She saw the towering Taiji Palace Hall in front of them. It was so big that it made people dizzy. In such a big palace city, cicadas were chirping in summer. On both sides, there were high courtyard walls and glazed tiles. The lotus flowers in the pond reached the sky for days. The beautiful scenery was too beautiful to take in.

Finally, they walked out of Taiji Palace. Lu Huan asked the person beside him, "Are you tired?"

"Why is it so big?!" Su Xi felt dizzy. It was as big as five of our schools.

Lu Huan estimated the distance and said, "It should be more than that. Just now, when we came out of the Daming Palace, we've already walked through twenty high schools and ten universities."

Su Xi was speechless.

Lu Huan walked in front of Su Xi. He lifted his robe and squatted down. He said to her, "I'll carry you."

The guards behind him tactfully looked up at the sky, as if there was something in the sky that attracted their attention.

Su Xi said, "I'll carry you when we get back. It won't work here."

She moved closer to Lu Huan's ear, "Otherwise, where will your dignity as an Emperor go?"

Lu Huan smiled faintly, "Are you afraid of becoming an evil concubine that will bring disaster to the country and the people?"

Su Xi glared at him.

Lu Huan thought for a while and asked the guards to bring two horses. He said to Su Xi, "There's a shortcut that can lead us to Zhuque Gate. We'll ride there."

"I've ridden horses there before, but it was in the scenic area. Those horses were very docile. These two horses — —" Su Xi touched the horses' backs and found that these two horses were more docile than the horses she saw in the scenic area. One of them was maroon in color, while the other was snow white. It was similar to the horse she gave to Lu Huan, but it wasn't the same one.

"It's okay. I'll ride with you."

After Lu Huan finished speaking, he saw Su Xi staring at the two horses. He said, "The horse you gave me has been retired. It's enjoying the rest of its life in the stables of the palace. I'll take you to see it tomorrow."

Su Xi suddenly felt sad, "It's old already?"

"You gave Wakabayashi Rika to me six years ago. At that time, it was in its prime, about five years old. Now, six years have passed and it's already eleven years old.

Most of the pure-blooded horses are still in service before they're fifteen years old. However, most of the horses in the palace start to enjoy the rest of their lives when they're ten years old. "

Su Xi's focus was suddenly diverted, "Wait, what did you call it?!"

Lu Huan suddenly felt embarrassed. He touched the horse's forehead and said softly, "Wakabayashi Rika."

Su Xi stared at him, "What kind of brothel name is this?!"

Lu Huan's ears turned red. He didn't answer and only said, "Come here. I'll help you get on the horse."

When he received the horse from Su Xi, he didn't know who Su Xi was, what he looked like, and what kind of voice and appearance he had. At that time, Su Xi who couldn't be seen was the person he thought about day and night.

When he saw the horse she gave him tied under the tree outside the capital, he thought in his heart that he would wait until spring — — at the very latest, he would wait until spring. When the pear blossoms bloom, he would muster up the courage to ask her and want to see her.

But later, before spring arrived, he couldn't restrain himself and rashly made that request.

That was probably the most unplanned, most abrupt, most perturbed, and most impulsive thing that Lu Huan did.

He once thought that because he made this request, she would completely disappear from his world. But fortunately, she came later.

Thus, this horse was called Wakabayashi Rika.

When Wakabayashi Rika came, she came.

He hoped that one day, when the sound of horse hooves sounded, he would be able to bring her into his world.

Su Xi got on the horse. Lu Huan also got on the horse and landed behind her. He hugged her and held the reins. With a soft shout, the new snow white horse galloped away like an arrow.

Behind him, several bodyguards hurriedly followed.

The summer wind blew past her ear. Su Xi couldn't help but lean back, leaning on Lu Huan's chest. Lu Huan led her through the city gate, deep and long alleys, and the capital's streets. As far as the eye could see, it was bustling, lively, and peaceful. It was the picture of the clear river and the sea that she saw in Lu Huan's wardrobe.
