There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 101 It's really worthless.

Princess Jiahe then asked, "How can I be well-behaved?"

Li Shuchen: "It was Hongying, who kept nudging me, so I tried putting a cap on her too. Once it was on Wanbai, she calmed down, and I finally managed to drive the carriage back successfully."

Princess Changning asked, "Did you ride back on two horses?"

Li Shuchen replied, "Yes, but it's obvious that Wanbai didn't exert any effort; it was just swaying leisurely. It was all Yuying's red shadow that did the work. We'll feed the red shadow some watermelon later as a reward."

Princess Jiahe was intrigued after hearing this; the two horses seemed so intelligent, she wanted to see them.

Li Shuchen glanced at Princess Jiahe's eyes and knew she wanted to see Wanbai and Hongying.

After all, the fact that she asked a question proves she's interested; her eyes are so bright now, much more alert than when she first walked in.

Li Shuchen then said, "Princess Jiahe, if you don't mind, please come with me to feed the horses later."

Princess Jiahe agreed very quickly: "Okay."

After saying that, he even smiled sheepishly.

After Li Shuchen finished telling this amusing story, Princess Jiahe relaxed considerably.

After everyone sat and ate some fruit, Li Shuchen glanced at the time and saw it was already 5 PM. He then said, "It's not so hot now, let's go down and feed the horses."

Princess Jiahe stood up: "Good."

Li Shuchen led them to the backyard of the inn, and while passing by the kitchen, they picked up some sliced ​​watermelon.

Princess Changning looked at Wanbai and said, "You've grown quite a bit taller in just a few days."

Li Shuchen: "All it does all day is eat and sleep, how could it not grow tall?"

Princess Jiahe looked at the two reddish-brown horses.

He asked, "Is that tall, handsome horse Hongying, and that one with the white tuft of hair on its forehead Wanbai?"

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Indeed, Princess Jiahe is very intelligent."

Princess Jiahe was stunned upon hearing this. "Intelligent," she thought, "Miss Li praised me for being intelligent. This is the first time in all these years that someone has complimented me."

She studied hard in the palace to become smarter, hoping to gain her father's approval, but he never even glanced at her, let alone praised her.

She was out of favor, and the people in the palace constantly beat and scolded her, saying she was bad in this way and that way. She genuinely believed that she was bad in every way.

But just now, Li Shuchen praised her. It turns out she can do it well; it turns out being praised makes her so happy.

Princess Jiahe's smile was sweet.

Li Shuchen walked up to Princess Jiahe with a slice of watermelon: "Princess, you can try feeding Hongying. It's very well-behaved and won't bite you. Just remember to keep your hands away from it."

Princess Jiahe smiled and said, "Okay."

He then picked up a slice of watermelon and carefully handed it to Hongying.

After taking a bite, Hongying happily began to eat.

Li Shuchen: "Yes, that's the one you fed him. Well done."

Princess Jiahe smiled even more sweetly after receiving Li Shuchen's approval, and the feeding became even more thorough.

At this moment, Li Wanbai said to Princess Jiahe, "Hehe~"

Hey beautiful, look at me! I want some watermelon too! Why are you feeding Red Shadow and not me? Am I not as pretty as it? Please, give me a slice of watermelon, please!

Li Shuchen didn't want to see Li Wanbai's worthless face, so he stepped back and stood with Liang Yuying and Princess Changning.

Princess Jiahe, seeing Wanbai's envy of Hongying, thought of herself.

Like Wanbai, she used to have none of the beautiful clothes and jewelry that other princesses had.

She didn't even have a decent meal.

I could only watch longingly, afraid to let them find out, for if they did, they would surely berate me.

Therefore, I feel very sorry for Wanbai at this moment.

He asked Li Shuchen, "May I feed Wanbai some watermelon?"

Li Shuchen: "Sure, the princess can feed whomever she wants."

Princess Jiahe turned around upon hearing this. "Great! Wanbai can eat watermelon now!"

Neither she nor anyone else stopped her from doing what she wanted this time.

Li Wanbai was a sycophant; seeing a beautiful woman feeding him watermelon, he used every trick in the book to amuse the princess.

Princess Jiahe laughed lightly and happily because of it.

Li Shuchen pondered to himself that he needed to find a place where Princess Jiahe could relax and not be bound by rules, so he could take her out to play.

Where should we go? Oh, Guozhuang.

Li Shuchen: "Let's take Princess Jiahe to the orchard tomorrow, and invite Ziying too. The five of us together will make it more fun!"

Princess Changning: "Sure, I was just wondering where to go."

Liang Yuying: "Okay"

After Princess Jiahe finished feeding him the watermelon, Li Shuchen went to the reception desk and took the key to the 'Rising Sun' room.

Li Shuchen: "Princess, let me show you the room."

Princess Jiahe replied, "Okay."

Watching Miss Li excitedly lead her upstairs, she felt quite expectant. It was her first time staying outside the palace, and she wondered if she could sleep soundly.

Li Shuchen opened the door to the rising sun, and Princess Jiahe was greeted by warmth—a warmth that was neither dim nor cold.

It warms the heart and makes people feel comfortable.

The clear sound of wind chimes filled my ears; they swayed in the breeze, carrying the scent of freedom.

She likes it, she really likes it.

Princess Jiahe couldn't help but say to Li Shuchen, "Miss Li, thank you."

Li Shuchen: "If the princess likes it, that's good. The princess should get used to this room first. I'll go prepare dinner for the princess."

Princess Jiahe nodded: "Alright, thank you for your hard work, Miss Li."

Li Shuchen smiled and gave a rather gentlemanly bow: "It's my pleasure."

After leaving the princess's room

Princess Changning glanced at the princess's room and said, "It's getting late, I should head back. I'll leave Princess Jiahe in your care. See you tomorrow."

Li Shuchen patted Princess Changning on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm very reliable. See you tomorrow."

When Li Shuchen delivered dinner to the princess, he also invited the Eighth Prince.

Li Shuchen was worried that she would feel lonely in an unfamiliar place, so he asked, "Does the princess mind if I have dinner with you?"

Princess Jiahe said with delight, "I don't mind at all, thank you for keeping me company."

She thought she would be eating alone again.

Li Shuchen pulled out a chair and sat down at the table: "You're too kind, my sweet princess."

Princess Jiahe blushed with embarrassment after hearing this, but Li Shuchen didn't seem to think anything of it.

Princess Jiahe ate her food in small bites, each bite a delightful surprise. The food was so fragrant, much better than what she ate in the palace. She then secretly glanced at Li Shuchen; Miss Li was such a kind person.

After Princess Jiahe finished her dinner, Li Shuchen introduced Lao Ba to her: "I've sent someone to protect you, Princess. Her name is Lao Ba. She's very skilled in martial arts. She'll be guarding the door, so you can sleep peacefully tonight."

The eighth prince bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess Jiahe. I will protect you well, please rest assured."

Li Shuchen: "You can call me if you need anything. As the princess has seen, I live right next door. Just call out, and I'll appear."

Princess Jiahe felt quite relieved and replied, "Okay."

Li Shuchen: "Princess, goodnight and sweet dreams."

Princess Jiahe: "Goodnight, Miss Li."

Li Shuchen left Princess Jiahe's room and entered the Sanbao Hall.

Liang Yuying, still looking up from her book, asked without raising her head, "What were you doing with Princess Jiahe?"

Li Shuchen: "I only ate a meal, I didn't do anything else."

Liang Yuying put down her book: "Okay, let's go to bed."
