Am I alone? Xie Yuxiu was moved by what she said. In fact, he knew in his heart that these were not necessarily what she really thought, but Xie Yuxiu was satisfied when she said these words.

He sighed imperceptibly: "I won't abandon you, nor will I ignore you. Please say less of this kind of thing in the future." If you say it too much, he will take it seriously.

Xie Yuxiu stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms: "Next time, you don't have to wait for me to have breakfast. And if you meet someone you don't want to deal with, don't bother with him. Just ask him to leave."

"Yeah," Yu Jinzhi nodded, but whether to do it or not was another matter.

After hearing her voice, Xie Yuxiu looked at Wang Yi who was standing not far away: "Remove Shu Zhaoyi from the list of this winter hunt. Also, since she has nothing to do, let her be confined to the palace for a month and copy the palace rules a hundred times every day."

"Yes," Wang Yi agreed, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was so hard to get a chance to see His Majesty, but now it's gone. I wonder if this Shu Zhaoyi will regret it?

Well, of course not, she would just feel angry.

There was a bang, and after the palace servant who delivered the imperial edict left, Shu Zhaoyi overturned everything on the table, and her pretty face became hideous and terrifying.

"Yu Jinzhi! Bitch!" Shu Zhaoyi started cursing.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The palace maids also knelt on the ground.

"If she hadn't said something to His Majesty, how could I have been punished by His Majesty? She is really good at tricking people, and she is really good at whispering in one's ear! I will never let her go!" Shu Zhaoyi said with gritted teeth, as if she wanted to skin the person alive immediately.

However, she seemed to suddenly think of something as soon as she finished saying this.

"Is my father in charge of the winter hunting this time?" she asked.

Shu Zhaoyi's father, Shu Jinsheng, was the Minister of Rites and one of the main people in charge of this winter hunting.

"I want to see if she can come back alive if she goes there! If she stays with Your Majesty, she will only be a disaster. I must get rid of her for Your Majesty!"

Shu Zhaoyi's eyes were filled with hatred. She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child. She had to copy every day and was confined to her room. What was even worse was that she had lost the chance to see His Majesty this time. How could she not hate him?

Yu Jinzhi knew nothing about these things, but even if she knew, she had no way to stop it, so it was better to just wait and see.

On the day of the winter hunt, Yu Jinzhi rode in a carriage alone. However, her carriage was arranged behind Xie Yuxiu's. This status was self-evident, and for a time it also attracted many people to speculate and discuss secretly.

Recently, His Majesty's attitude towards Princess Jiayu seemed to have changed a lot. Especially since he punished four concubines in a row for this princess, they had to re-evaluate Yu Jinzhi's status.

Yu Jinzhi knew that everyone was staring at her, but she still got into the carriage as if she saw nothing.

Although the carriage was not very big, it had everything you need. As soon as she entered, she could feel a distinct warmth, and the entire carriage was covered with thick velvet carpets, which was very comfortable.

After the convoy set off, Yu Jinzhi gently opened the curtain. Was she finally leaving the palace again? The air outside always seemed to be freer than inside. Although the wind was very cold, she felt very free.

"Princess, use this to warm your hands." Qingyu handed over the hot water bottle.

Yu Jinzhi lowered the curtain and held the hot water bottle in her arms. Her body had been damaged over the past year, so she was more afraid of the cold than before.

"There are snacks in the carriage. If the princess feels hungry, she can fill her stomach first." Qingyu said.

All the things on the carriage were specially prepared by Xie Yuxiu. He was quite meticulous and took care of every aspect.

"When will it arrive?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"The weather has been cold recently and many places have frozen over, so the convoy has to move slower. It will probably be dark by the time we reach the hunting ground," Qingyu replied.

So long? Yu Jinzhi sighed. It would be really boring to sit like this for a whole day.

"If the county princess feels bored, she can read a book." Qingyu took out a few books from the secret compartment next to her. They were all the storybooks that Yu Jinzhi liked to read.

Yu Jinzhi was about to take it, but then she caught sight of the paper and pen placed not far away.

"Please bring paper and pen." Yu Jinzhi said.

Qingyu didn't understand why, but she did as she was told. She spread out the paper, and Yu Jinzhi poured the tea into the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

"What is the princess going to do?" Qingyu asked curiously.

"Just to kill time." Yu Jinzhi didn't say specifically what she was going to do.

She picked up the brush in her hand, gently dipped it into the ink she had just ground, and then began to draw something on the paper.

Qingyu was watching from the side. Her princess was a person who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now that it had just taken shape, she could already see it.

"Princess, is this a painting of His Majesty?" Qingyu asked.

Yu Jinzhi hummed. Who else could she draw if not Xie Yuxiu? However, she didn't just draw a portrait, but the image of Xie Yuxiu eating dumplings with a bowl in his hand.

How could she not see that Xie Yuxiu was not satisfied with what she made? Last time he just ate one dumpling and then changed the subject.

She was not so slow-witted. Of course she knew that he obviously didn't like her, but he didn't say anything because he cared about her feelings. She just didn't know how much he indulged her in his heart?

But it doesn’t matter, even if it’s only a little bit, it can grow slowly.

Yu Jinzhi painted very seriously, even the frowning of Xie Yuxiu was painted in great detail. How does one say that? The more detailed the observation, the more detailed the painting, but only when you really care can you achieve true detail.

She had to let Xie Yuxiu know that she was really paying attention to him and caring about him. Even when he was not around, she would still think about him. As long as this idea was formed in his mind, many things would become tacit consent later on...

Yu Jinzhi painted like this for nearly half an hour. She was so engrossed in the painting that she didn't even know when the carriage stopped.

Soon, Wang Yi's voice came from outside: "Princess, His Majesty invites you."

Yu Jinzhi came back to her senses. She looked at her almost finished painting with a slight smile on her face.

"Just say I'm asleep." She whispered to Qingyu beside her.

Qingyu understood and got off the carriage directly.

"Please forgive me, sir. The princess is tired from the journey and has fallen asleep..."

This... Wang Yi hesitated for a moment, but did not make things difficult.

"Then I will report back to His Majesty right away." Wang Yi said and hurried back to Xie Yuxiu's carriage. He naturally did not dare to disturb Yu Jinzhi.
