Early the next morning, the ground outside the palace was covered with tents.

Xiao Yi was wearing a vermilion dragon-patterned riding outfit today, looking very cool, announcing the start of the royal hunt.

The winner in the paddock today will receive a reward of a thousand taels and ten pieces of silk and satin, so everyone is in high spirits.

When the hunting started, everyone took their arrows and rode their horses towards the paddock, and the scene was very grand.

Su Jingyan also put on a red riding suit and rode her beloved horse into the paddock with Xiao Yi.

When Su Zheng saw Su Jingyan coming in, his eyes were full of worry. He rode up to Su Jingyan and said, "My Lady, you are in a different state now, so you have to be careful. It's best to stay away from hunting."

Xiao Yi defended Su Jing and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Ayan. After entering the palace, Ayan rarely gets out of the palace to play. Ayan and I don't go to the mountains, we only hunt rabbits here."

"

When Su Zheng saw that His Majesty protected his sister so much, he did not dare to teach Su Jingyan any more.

Su Jingyan smiled at Xiao Yi. After marrying Xiao Yi, there was another advantage. If her brother and father wanted to discipline themselves, they would not dare to say anything more with Xiao Yi protecting them.

Su Jingyan hadn't moved her muscles for a long time. She saw a sika deer from a distance and signaled to Xiao Yi.

After Xiao Yi followed Su Jingyan's gaze and saw the sika antlers, he prepared to shoot the deer with his bow.

Su Jingyan also took an arrow and prepared it. If Xiao Yi missed the shot, the deer would run away and his arrow would be able to hit it.

After Xiao Yi loosened the bowstring, Su Jingyan also loosened the bowstring.

But just when their two arrows were about to hit the sika deer, they were stopped by a sharp arrow.

The sika deer was frightened and ran away.

Su Jingyan said angrily: "Who will stop our arrow?"

Xiao Yi and Su Jingyan rode forward and happened to see Qi Yue and a woman riding the same horse.

When Li Xia saw Xiao Yi and Su Jingyan, he dismounted his horse and knelt down to salute.

Qi Yue also turned over and dismounted from his horse to salute.

Xiao Yi said: "Get up! Qi Yue, why are you trying to stop my arrow?"

Qi Yue said: "I am pregnant in the beginning of summer, and I cannot bear to see the deer being killed, so I asked me to stop the arrows that were meant to kill the deer. I didn't know that it was the arrows of your majesty and the empress."

Su Jingyan finally didn't feel sick this morning until now, but a layer of nausea emerged again, and she retched twice while covering her handkerchief.

Su Jingyan said with disgust written all over her face: "It's really the key that was thrust into the lock, which opened my eyes.

If you don't want to see the deer being killed, you shouldn't go hunting. Isn't it better to go to the temple?

Now that you are here, you must abide by the rules of the hunting ground.

What's the difference between coming to the paddock to stop people from hunting and trying to persuade them not to kill enemy soldiers on the battlefield?"

Su Jingyan is not a person who likes to kill, especially now that she is pregnant and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

This royal paddock may sound like a place for hunting wild animals, but in fact, the wild animals on this northern mountain are all under the control of specialized officials.

There are no ferocious beasts here, only some ferocious black bears, leopards, tigers and wolves are released when nobles come to hunt.

These fawns and foxes can survive to this day only because officials drove away their natural enemies.

After all, there is no difference between these wild beasts and domesticated chickens, ducks and sheep. These little beasts are destined to be hunted by humans from birth.

And even wild beasts have come to the hunting paddock. How can this Lixia girl be so pretentious!

Li Xia was so speechless by Su Jingyan that she almost burst into tears and felt so pitiful.

Seeing that, Qi Yue felt extremely distressed and cupped his hands and said: "My dear, Li Xia also has a kind heart and cannot bear the death of living beings."

Su Jingyan said helplessly: "Since she can't bear the death of living beings, then she won't eat meat in the future."

Xiao Yi followed and said: "Ayan, if you don't want to harm living beings, it's not enough not to eat meat. In this world, it's not just animals, fish, and birds that have spirits. Don't all the plants and trees have spirits?"

Su Jingyan smiled at Xiao Yi: "Your Majesty said, if you are so kind-hearted, you can drink dew for a living!"

Li Xia below looked very embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I'd better go back and rest."

Qi Yue asked people to take Li Xia back, and then explained to Xiao Yi and Su Jingyan: "Your Majesty, empress, Li Xia is very pitiful. She has been a slave since she was a child..."

Su Jing said: "What does her pity have to do with me? She is your concubine, you have to protect her and I don't care, but she has to pay the price for what she has done outside."

Xiao Yi strongly agreed with Su Jingyan's words, "Ayan is right."

After being intercepted by Qi Yue, Su Jingyan and Xiao Yi didn't make any big gains all morning, and only hunted two small hares.

Su Jingyan gave two little hares to her nephew Yang'er and Sui Rou's child Lin'er respectively.

The two of them had a lot of fun holding the little hare.

Liang Suirou walked up to Su Jingyan and said, "You have to take it easy, you are pregnant after all."

Su Jing said: "What I know is that I haven't hunted for a long time and my hands are itchy. I was able to hunt a sika deer today, but it was all ruined."

Liang Suirou listened to Su Jingyan's explanation and said: "Xiao Han has already told you about his cousin, and Qi Yue is also stupid.

If a married woman is pregnant, she can be classified as a concubine at most. How can a woman who is not worthy of publicity be made a concubine all of a sudden?

This is not because I come from a noble family and look down on slaves, but it is really a difference in status.

If you really want to make your slave a concubine, you must first teach her the rules at home so that she can be on the stage.

Even those of us who are the daughters of aristocratic families have to learn rules and conduct themselves since childhood?

Qi Yue really dotes on his side concubine too much. If he doesn't correct himself and doesn't teach Li Xia, his future may be implicated in the future."

When Su Jingyan heard what Liang Suirou said, she became even more worried about Chen Qitong's situation.

Qi Yue's love for Li Xia far exceeded Su Jingyan's imagination.

The lunch banquet was held in the palace hall.

Su Jingyan did not eat in the main hall. She was afraid that she would spit out half of the meal. She did not want foreign officials to know that she was pregnant at this moment.

Su Jingyan went back to the palace's bedroom to rest.

When Su Jingyan went back to the dormitory and passed by the garden, she saw a miscellaneous palace maid carrying a bucket, stretching her neck and looking at the dormitory, as if she was exploring something.

Lonicera stepped forward and scolded: "What is your name? You are so ignorant of the rules? What are you looking at in the bedroom of His Majesty and His Majesty?"

When Ayan heard the scolding, he turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a red riding uniform. He knelt down and said, "Ayan, please pay homage to the Queen."

Su Jing said: "Your name is Ayan? Which Yan?"

Ayan raised his eyes and looked at Su Jing and said: "It's a banquet."

Ayan fluttered her long eyelashes and asked, "Mother, will you let me change my name?"

Su Jingyan smiled and said: "No, you are a maid in the palace, and you are not in the palace. There is no need to avoid the taboo of my name, not to mention the words are different."

Ayan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really beautiful and kind-hearted. The little eunuch in your palace even asked me to change my name, saying that I violated your name taboo."

"Little eunuch?"

Su Jingyan said curiously: "But I didn't bring any eunuchs with me when I came to the palace this time."

Su Jingyan was used to being served by her four maids. After entering the palace, she did not use the servants often, and only let the eunuchs do some errands.

Ayan gestured and said: "As for that young father-in-law who is extremely good-looking, his voice is different from the other high-pitched father-in-laws, but a hoarse voice.

Also, he is very fair and has peach blossom eyes. He is the most beautiful person I have ever seen.

The little eunuch also praised the slave girl for her beauty. He was the first man to praise me for my good looks. No, he was a eunuch.

Just now, the slave girl was looking into the dormitory, just wanting to see him again..."

Su Jingyan clenched her fists and said in a long tone: "It turns out to be Eunuch Yi~"
