The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chu Tao and Su Yan could only retreat.

She looked back at Su Yan with every step, as if she was being tortured.

Su Yan’s legs were trembling, but she still smiled and explained to Leng Shuang, “Those two girls are just too concerned about me. They don’t mean anything bad.”

Seeing that Su Yan had reached her limit, Leng Shuang made her stop.

Su Yan immediately sat on the stone bench beside. She did not even want to move an inch now.

Leng Shuang walked to Su Yan’s side. She squatted and touched Su Yan’s legs.

“Leng Shuang!” Su Yan was shocked.

Leng Shuang pursed her lips and explained, “You have to stretch your muscles after the horse stance. Otherwise, you won’t be able to walk the next day. I’ll help to massage your muscles.”

As if she was not used to saying so many words, Leng Shuang’s expression was a little strange.

Leng Shuang could see that Su Yan was embarrassed. She added, “When I first started practicing martial arts, master helped me to massage too.”

Su Yan looked at Leng Shuang’s reddish ears and smiled.

She dragged her exhausted body back to the room and immediately lied on the bed.

She soon fell asleep.

The door was suddenly opened. A faint sound of footsteps was heard.

Immediately after, Su Yan felt a weight on her body. It was a little uncomfortable, so she was about to open her eyes.

Next, a warm air current surged through her entire body.

It was so soothing to Su Yan’s exhausted body that she let out a sigh.

She fell into an even deeper sleep.

She had a good sleep.

Su Yan woke up when it was dawn.

She sat on the bed and stretched her body. Her exhaustion yesterday seemed to be gone and she felt relaxed.

Could this be the benefit of practicing martial arts?

This made Su Yan more determined to practice martial arts.

The noise behind the door startled Chu Tao who was waiting outside.

She would usually wait outside the room early in the morning. But, this was the first time Su Yan woke up this early.

She pushed the door open and walked in.

“Princess Consort, did you not sleep well yesterday?”

Su Yan smiled, “I slept very well. Chu Tao, quick, bring the clothes over. I promised Leng Shuang that I would go for a run today.”

She got out of bed, picked up the handkerchief, and washed her face by herself. She asked Chu Tao to get her clothes.

Chu Tao carefully observed Su Yan’s expression and confirmed that she was in good spirits before responding.

“Princess Consort, do you still want to practice?”

Su Yan nodded in affirmation. She looked at the clothes in Chu Tao’s hands and said, “This won’t do. Find a lighter one. I’m going for a run.”

Unable to convince Su Yan, Chu Tao sighed helplessly.

Su Yan left the house after settling everything.

She did not walk towards the place where she was supposed to meet Leng Shuang.

Su Yan first went to Gu Ruoyun’s room and said, “You must get well soon.”

She then turned around and walked towards the back courtyard of the Imperial Residence.

It was spacious and a good place to practice martial arts.

Leng Shuang was a little surprised to see Su Yan arriving on time.

She was even more surprised when she saw Su Yan quickly walking over without any signs of discomfort.

“Master Leng Shuang,” Su Yan greeted Leng Shuang very politely.

Leng Shuang turned her body slightly to avoid her. She said, “Princess Consort, you don’t have to do this.”

Su Yan did not refute Leng Shuang’s stubbornness. She did what she had to do.

Leng Shuang was still curious and asked, “Princess Consort, did you feel any discomfort?”

Su Yan smiled, “No, I feel very relaxed this morning. Perhaps, it’s all thanks to your massage yesterday.”

Leng Shuang did not think so, but she could not think of a reason either. She replied, “Maybe.”

Standing aside, Chu Tao took this to her heart.

Su Yan began her first morning run.

Wearing a high ponytail, she was dressed in an equestrian outfit. She looked quite presentable.

Leng Shuang followed behind Su Yan at a leisurely pace.

Chu Tao followed her initially. After three laps, she could not take it anymore. She could only watch from the side.
