After dinner, Song Yingyao, who originally thought that she would not appear again today, arrived in a horse riding uniform. Her valiant and valiant attire was in stark contrast to her delicate appearance, but it did not conflict with her, instead it had a different kind of beauty.

"Greetings to royal brother and royal sister-in-law."

'Ding … target's favorability towards Song Yao increased by 5, current affability level is 80. '…

This was also the first time Duanmu Yu Ling had seen Song Yao dress up like this. He was a little stunned by her appearance. "Xinyao, looking at your attire, it looks like you want to come with us to the forest. It's just that a weak girl like you is too dangerous."

Song Yingyao let out a small sigh of relief. Ever since that zither competition, Duanmu Yu Ling had never treated her better. Now that she heard about his concern for her, she finally felt at ease.

He puffed out his chest and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, royal brother. When I was young, I entered the forest with my father. Besides, I learned a few years from Master Knight, so I have more than enough self-protection."

Duanmu Yuling nodded his head, "That's good then." Qing Qing turned her head to look at her. "Empress, I've brought the riding uniform for you. You can't refuse it now, right?"

"Yes, chenqie will go change first."

Not long later, Qingqing slowly returned. She had tied up her hair, which was like a black cloud, slightly fluttering behind her back, her beautiful crescent-like eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, a beautiful nose, white cheeks, snow-white skin, and a red riding dress that perfectly outlined her curvy body.

Everyone was just a little stunned for a moment when Song Yingyao appeared, but now that she had appeared, everyone was quiet. No matter if it was a man or woman, they were all stunned for a few seconds before they could react. When the woman regained her senses, her first reaction was either envy or jealousy. The man felt awkward, and he carefully observed Duanmu Huanghun's expression, afraid that he would blame her for crashing into the empress's phoenix face.

Duanmu Huanghun was both shocked and astonished. He was shocked because of Xia Qingqing's peerless countenance. The strange thing was that he had never felt that Xia Qingqing was more beautiful than his second wife.

Perhaps it was because he was used to her dressing in the palace and had changed into a new set of clothes that caused him to be so absent-minded, Duanmu Huanghun consoled himself.

He glanced at the people around him, and noticed that although the man looked embarrassed, he also shifted his gaze away. He merely snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter.

Duanmu Yu Ling was the closest person to the group in Qingqing City. When he heard the cold snort, he was slightly surprised and confused. He called out, "Your majesty?"

Duanmu Huanghun smiled faintly. He knew that this was a misunderstanding, but he didn't explain. Instead, he went up to Ji Yunshu and held her arm. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "Empress, she is the number one beauty in our Great Zhou Country. I've been lost in my thoughts."

Qing Qing smiled gently, "Thank you for your praises, chenqie dares not disappoint you."

Duanmu Yu Ling was also smiling as he looked at Qing Qing, trying to find any other expression on her face. "The empress is clearly a wild cat, so why is she always so polite to me? Is it because I'm not good enough for you?"

Qing Qing pretended to seriously think about it. She then calmly and charmingly smiled at Duanmu Yuling and said, "Your majesty treats me very well. Chenqie is only doing her duty as concubine. Your majesty needs a dignified, thoughtful empress, not a concubine."

Duanmu Yu Ling nodded his head in agreement, no longer pressing on. "The empress really dares to speak the truth, but I really like her honesty." He thought for a moment and suddenly changed the subject. "But you're my queen, why don't I think she cares much about me?"
