Apart from these minor incidents, the emissaries from Da Qin were quite satisfied.
Sometimes, knowing about something is one thing, but seeing it with one’s own eyes is quite another.
In this capital, most of those walking outside were women.
Most of these women were tall, some were even pushing carts and carrying items, and others were hawking their wares loudly.
Conversely, the men they encountered on the streets were mostly of slender build, with delicate features, and some even wore makeup and held handkerchiefs in their hands.
The emissaries from Da Qin said that they had indeed broadened their horizons.
Seeing those formidable women who were no less tough than men, the married emissaries couldn’t help but imagine their own wives in place of those women and shuddered at the thought.
Da Qin is more suited for the likes of us.
"It’s getting late, there’s a specialty restaurant up ahead, let’s go have a meal together," Gu Shengyin said, glancing at the time.
Just then, a noise erupted from ahead.
Gu Shengyin looked back and saw that a horse had gone mad and started charging into the crowd.
In just that brief moment, the horse had charged towards the direction of the emissaries.
"Be careful!" Before Qin Quexi could react, he was pulled back and stumbled a few steps.
He instinctively looked towards Gu Shengyin, and when he saw she was in a safe place, he was relieved.
Gu Shengyin’s expression slightly tensed, and suddenly, with a tip of her toe, she lightly leaped up in a swift motion and firmly sat on the horse.
She leaned back, grabbed the reins, and forcefully stopped the horse’s forward charge. The horse neighed long and lifted its front hooves high, finally calming down.
Only then did Gu Shengyin notice the person on the horse was a young, handsome man.
Qin Quexi’s face turned cold; as he watched, Gu Shengyin sat on the horse embracing the man in front due to holding the reins, appearing extremely intimate to onlookers.
He clearly saw the young man blush.
Gu Shengyin also realized the impropriety of the position and deftly dismounted the horse, speaking sternly to the young man, "Riding horses in crowded places is prohibited; it could harm others. Don’t you know the rules?"
The young man blushed and timidly replied, "This is my first time doing this, there’s an emergency at home..."
Seeing his good attitude, Gu Shengyin softened her tone, "No matter the reason, rules are rules. You’ll need to go to the City Patrol Office later to accept your punishment."
The young man’s face fell but he still agreed.
As Gu Shengyin turned to leave, someone called out from behind her.
"Lady, may I ask which household you belong to? I would like to visit and thank you personally tomorrow," he said, his face flushed, clearly smitten.
She coldly replied, "It’s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Just be more cautious in the future; no thanks required."
The young man left somewhat dejectedly.
When Gu Shengyin returned to the emissaries, she heard Qin Quexi’s teasing voice, "I never expected to see such a spectacle before even tasting the local cuisine."
"Changge’s heroic rescue was truly a sight to behold," he said with praise, yet the jealousy in his tone was unmistakable.
