Everyone was talking and laughing, eating and drinking. After filling their stomachs, they reluctantly started to head back to the city after picking up quite a few beautiful pebbles by the lake.
After lunch, Tian Hui often needs a nap, and she was a bit tired from the outing today, so she went back to the city with Xia Zhen ahead of the others.
The remaining people were in no hurry. The men began a competition on horseback to see whose riding skills were better, while the women chatted and laughed from behind the curtains of the carriage, creating quite a lively scene.
Amidst the fun and frolic, by the time they returned to the capital city, the sun was already leaning towards the west.
Gazing at the red sunset in the open fields, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, feeling delighted. It had been a long time since she felt this relaxed; days like this were truly comforting.
