"You okay?" Prince Rong said anxiously.
"I'm fine, your majesty."
Prince Rong smiled, then kissed Empress An's cheek. And immediately make the face of Empress An become pink.
"Your majesty."
Prince Rong hugged Empress An again, "I really don't want to let go of you. Even if I have to unleash my red dragon army, then I will do it as long as it keeps you with me."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? His Majesty is the god of war of this country. And very influential for our Chao country."
"They also knew that, but they still dared to urge me and also the father of the emperor. As if they weren't afraid that I'd punish them all."
"But this country desperately needs a noble one."
"And I need you."
Empress An fell silent, she did not know what else to say to the current prince Rong. Because his heartbeat was so loud.
The horse-drawn carriage they rode stopped at a house made of wood.
"It seems we've arrived, you stay here first. I'll help you get off this train." Prince Rong.
"Good."
Prince Rong smiled to see the face of his queen who blushed due to his words. He got off the horse carriage first.
"Come here, I'll help you get down." Said Prince Rong who was already outside the carriage.
Empress An got out of the carriage, and, helped by Prince Rong, got off the chariot.
"Is this your pavilion, your highness?" Said Empress An while staring at a pavilion made of wood.
"True, I made it out of the best wood and on the best land in this forest."
"The pavilion is quite large, and you built it very well."
"Come, let's take a look at the inside of this pavilion."
Prince Rong took Empress An by the hand, then they walked into the wooden pavilion.
Kraaaaac
Prince Rong opened the main door of the pavilion, and they could see a not-so-large hall, on the right there were two rooms, visible, while on the left there is a kitchen and also a room that penetrates to the outside.
"We'll be here for a few days, and I want as long as we're here you don't think about what they're doing in the palace." Prince Rong.
Empress An turned her head, then nodded.
Prince Rong hugged Empress An, never once did he feel anything like this towards another woman. So he really wanted to make Empress An always happy to be by his side.
"Tonight I'll make you some rabbit meat soup, and some pretty good plants in this forest." Prince Rong said again.
"You're going to cook, your honor?"
"Of course, as long as we're here. I'll make some food for you."
Empress An smiled, not expecting that a prince as well as a war god would make food for her.
All the goods were finished, and those who brought the train returned to the capital. Mer will come to pick up Prince Rong as well as Empress An in a few days.
"Now change, I'll take you to catch a rabbit." Prince Rong.
"Catch rabbits?"
"True, we have to catch the rabbit first. After that, I'll cook it for our dinner."
Empress An now understood, why in addition to wanting to be with him alone, prince Rong also wanted to enjoy life in the wild together with himself, without anyone bothering and seeing them.
"Well, I'll change clothes first." Said empress An.
"Yes. Our room is over there."
Empress An looked at the room appointed by Prince Rong.
"Yes." Yeah."
After a while, Empress An who had changed clothes came out.
Prince Rong who saw Empress An had changed into a smiling outfit.
"Are all the clothes that Feng Ying prepared, your highness asked for them?" Said empress An.
"True, it's because we're going to stay here. And I feel like you'd have a really hard time wearing the clothes you were before."
Empress An smiled, "Thank you for preparing it."
"You're my wife, I should've done that to you."
Empress An nodded.
"Alright, we're leaving now before it gets dark." Prince Rong.
"Good."
Prince Rong and Empress An walked out of the pavilion, then went into the forest to look for rabbits and also wild plants said by Prince Rong earlier.
The two people were like ordinary people who lived in the forest, they even looked for food for them to eat there themselves. Because the items they carry are just clothes, and tools to cook food only.
"You okay, if we live like this in the next few days?" Prince Rong.
"It's okay, I feel good to be able to live in a forest like this. Very quiet."
"It's good that it's like that."
Prince Rong and empress An continued walking somewhat away from the prince Rong pavilion.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Said empress An.
"What's wrong?"
"Wait, I see something there."
Empress An walked a few steps leaving prince Rong, da crouched down in front of a plant.
The curious Prince Rong approached Empress An, "What's up Lin'er?"
"I found a plant that we can eat, and this we can keep and eat also tomorrow, because this plant will not wither for 3 days, even though we have picked it."
"really? I just found out."
Empress An smiled, then broke a few branches of the plant.
"Can you make something out of the leaves of this plant, Li?" Queen An said to Prince Rong.
"I just found out about this plant, but it looks like I can."
"This plant is quite difficult to cook."
"really? If true, it looks like tonight I will try to enjoy the food that Empress An cooked."
Empress An smiled and nodded, "We must find the Pum flower first, then cook it together so that the taste of these leaves will be more delicious when eating."
"In addition to being smart in medicine, understanding various poisons, also good at war. You also have excellent cooking skills. I'm really lucky to be married to this incredibly talented empress."
"I know very little about all of those things, and I still need to learn a few other things."
Prince Rong nodded, "Well, you can learn anything. As long as it's harmless to you."
"Okay, thank you."
"Now we better go back to looking for the rabbit and the Pum flower you were referring to, because it looks like it's going to rain today."
"Rabbit? You can catch the rabbit that's in there."
Empress An pointed at the rabbit not far from where they were standing.
"All right, you stay here. I'll catch that rabbit for tonight." Prince Rong.
Empress An nodded, "Good."
