Queen of flowers - chapter 165

After leaving Beijing, Feng Liao and his team quickly discovered that it was neither Yong Ruo nor Hua Rou who slowed down everyone’s schedule, but Xu Taiyi.

Feng Liao didn’t bring a big carriage. With the exception of a few carts with supplies, there were only two low-key exterior-looking carriages.

One was for Xu Taiyi, the other was for Yong Ruo and Hua Rou.

But most of the time, Yong Ruo and Hua Rou accompanied on horseback. The reason given was to practice riding.

Feng Liao felt that since they had already followed him, it was also necessary to practice riding to prepare for the occasional need.

Xu Taiyi couldn’t ride a horse, so he could only ride a carriage.

But in the era with no concrete roads or asphalt ones even official roads were just dirt roads, which were only slightly wider and flatter than ordinary.

Coupled with the lack of effective shock absorbers in the era, carriages traveled at a fast speed, and the degree of bumps could shake people’s hearts, livers, stomachs, and kidneys.

Less than ten miles out of the city, Feng Liao just trot on a horse, and Xu Taiyi couldn’t bear it.

His apprentice Dong Gui poked his head out of the carriage and shouted at Feng Liao and others, “Sir, can you slow down? My master can’t stand it!”

Feng Liao, who was enjoying riding like Yong Ruo secretly apologized.

He turned his horse, rushed to the side of Xu Taiyi’s carriage, and asked across the window, “Is Taiyi okay?”

Dr. Xu Taiyi in the carriage showed a wry smile, “Sir, please slow down. My old bones can not stand such bumps!”

“Sorry! I was negligent,” Feng Liao smiled apologetically and loudly instructed Su Mingjian and others to slow down.

“Is this okay?” After moving slowly for a while, Feng Liao asked Xu Taiyi across the window.

Xu Taiyi nodded and didn’t speak.

By the noon break, when Dong Gui lifted him out of the carriage and rested under the shade of trees, his steps were abnormal and his face was pale.

Yong Ruo stepped in front of Xu Taiyi, looked at him, and asked with anxiety, “How do you feel?”

“Not so good!” Xu Taiyi said angrily, and almost ran in tears, “Ah! I am an old man, and still have to suffer like this!”

He looked at Yong Ruo, who wasn’t much else affected, and his heart became even more depressed. He couldn’t help muttering, “This woman can ride a horse! But she rides so well and so easily. Is she still a woman?”

The resentful expression of Xu Taiyi made Yong Ruo forbearable.

She pretended to understand what Xu Taiyi said, deliberately glanced at the busy Hua Rou, and nodded, “Yes, that girl is riding so well on horseback, it’s so hateful!”

“I’m talking about you!” Xu Taiyi glanced at Yong Ruo with a grudge, “How can a girl ride a horse? It’s so hard. You can obviously stay at home. Why would you come out and suffer?”

He thought: Riding Horseback so upright? Why is this woman different?

If there was no one to compare with it would be fine as he was an old man, and it wouldn’t be too shameful for him to delay the trip. But this comparison made him lose his face? Old men were men too!

Yong Ruo could guess the little bit of resentment in Xu Taiyi’s heart, and then laughed, “Why did Tai Yi follow Wang Ye? My goal is the same as that of yours.”

Xu Taiyi glanced at her obliquely, “I was sent by the Emperor! So were you?”
