Chapter 426: Traveling Boat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Fifth Princess struggled to maintain her facade, her expression gradually darkening.

Su Bin, I intend to share my quarters with you later.

If you heed my counsel, I may spare you.

Should you defy me, I will ensure your downfall!

A glint of determination flickered in Su Bin’s eyes.

What an audacious woman!

How dare she harbor such intentions towards me? I shall teach her the meaning of ‘defeat’ today!

The second phase of the garden activity involved a leisurely boat ride to savor the scenic beauty along the courtyard’s river.

There was a separation between men and women on the pleasure boats.

In total, four boats were available—two for the men and two for the women. Since there were more male participants in the garden event, the two male boats were notably more crowded, whereas the female boats offered a more relaxed atmosphere.

However, the arrangement also depended on one’s social standing.

On the men’s side, the individuals of higher rank shared a boat with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

On the women’s side, the more prestigious attendees were on the same boat as the Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess. Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning accompanied the Fifth Princess due to Su Bin’s status as the new Primus.

As they boarded the vessel, Su Bin silently conveyed a message to Qin Zhenzhen, urging her to be cautious.

In response, Qin Zhenzhen used her eyes to assure him, “Don’t worry, Su Ning and I will handle things.”

She had anticipated that the Fifth Princess might cause trouble and was prepared to stay vigilant.

The Fifth Princess stood little chance of success with her devious plans, mainly because everyone aboard the cruise ship, except for the male crew operating the vessel, consisted of delicate young ladies. No servants or maids were allowed on the ship.

If the Fifth Princess intended to cause harm, her most likely avenue would be through the food. Another possibility was to manipulate these young ladies into pushing someone into the water. However, she had no reason to fear either option.

Her Spirit Spring Water possessed remarkable healing properties, capable of neutralizing all poisons. Furthermore, her martial prowess was quite formidable; even ten strong men couldn’t match her. She wouldn’t take these delicate ladies seriously, not even if a hundred of them confronted her.

Taking precautions, Qin Zhenzhen discreetly handed Su Ning a pill.

“Su Ning, this pill is to prevent seasickness. Please take it.”

Su Ning softly replied, “Third Sister-in-law, have you forgotten? I no longer get seasick!”

She continued, “Moreover, this cruise ship is very stable. There’s no way I’ll faint.

Previously, she used to experience seasickness, feeling dizzy and nauseous as she watched the water flow beneath the ship. However, her third sister-in-law’s pill had effectively resolved her seasickness.

Qin Zhenzhen explained in a hushed tone, “Third Sister-in-law hasn’t forgotten that you won’t get seasick, but taking the pill is an extra layer of security.”

“We’re on the same boat as the princess, and if you happen to vomit and inadvertently offend her, it could lead to serious consequences.”

“I see.”

Su Ning grasped the wisdom in Qin Zhenzhen’s words and promptly swallowed the pill.

Qin Zhenzhen emphasized, “Once we’re on the ship, stay close to me. Don’t venture off on your own.”

Despite being the target of the Fifth Princess’s intentions, Qin Zhenzhen remained vigilant about Su Ning’s safety.

Su Ning nodded, replying, “I understand.”

She believed her third sister-in-law was concerned that she might inadvertently offend the princess or another high-status lady.

The cruise ship offered an array of fruits and snacks, but the young heiresses present were all rather reserved and hesitant to partake.

Qin Zhenzhen, too, refrained from indulging.

The young ladies gathered at the side of the ship, gripping the railings while they admired the surrounding scenery. They marveled at the picturesque views and cast occasional glances towards the neighboring cruise ship, occupied by the young masters accompanying His Highness the Crown Prince. These young men were notably distinguished and among the potential suitors for these noble ladies.

Perhaps, as fate would have it, some of these prospective matches would be

forged during this cruise..
