As soon as Jin Zhao came out after changing the medicine, he saw that the people in the mansion were suddenly busy. They were preparing something in a hurry. Butler Zhou stood in the corridor and shouted loudly to urge the busy people. It seemed that something big had happened.
.
Housekeeper Zhou saw Jin Zhao in the distance. As soon as he appeared, he ran over quickly and shouted: "Oh, my aunt, why are you still here? The prince has been back for a long time, and you still haven't gone over to serve him! Here he is!"
Why are you so stunned!"
"The prince came back early? No one informed me." Jin Zhao looked around and asked doubtfully, "Steward Zhou? What happened?"
"Don't worry so much, go to the prince and see what he has ordered. Really, the worst thing is to torment people by doing things at the last minute. Hey! You! No matter what you did, the mats fell all over the floor.
Alright..." Housekeeper Zhou muttered, having no time to answer Jin Zhao's questions. After reminding her, he ran to shout at everyone again.
Jin Zhao thought of what Ye Fengxuan said that night. After being quiet for so many days, had he finally started to take action?
Without having time to think too much, Jin Zhao hurriedly ran to the study.
"Your Majesty, your servant is late." As soon as Jin Zhao entered, he saw Ye Yunsheng reading a book. Despite the chaos outside, he could still calm down.
"It's because I came back early." Ye Yunsheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. Looking at Jin Zhao's slightly stunned face, Ye Yunsheng's tone softened rarely, "I will go hunting in the paddock with my father the day after tomorrow, so you don't have to go.
.”
Although after the family banquet, Ye Yunsheng sent the most beautiful dancer to Emperor Jingcang, and he spared Jin Zhao from the death penalty. But whenever he thinks of what happened between Jin Zhao and Emperor Jingcang, Ye Yunsheng is afraid that if she
Thinking of unhappy things will affect her mood and work. In addition, she has only recovered from her injuries, so he still hopes that she can rest well at home. It's okay for her not to do things like hunting.
However, after waiting for so many days, the time was finally determined to go. This was an opportunity to see Ye Yunsheng in trouble, how could Jin Zhao miss it.
"My lord, are you going with the emperor?" Jin Zhao pondered for a moment and asked.
Ye Yunsheng lowered his head and raised it again, "No, all the princes will go. Usually they go at the end of the month every year, but for some reason my father suddenly made it earlier this time."
"How long will the prince be leaving for?"
"In the past, hunting lasted a week, but this time in a hurry, it probably only takes two or three days."
Jin Zhao thought for a while and looked at Ye Yunsheng seriously, "Is the prince afraid that the servant will not serve you well?"
Ye Yunsheng didn't expect that she would ask this, so he didn't say anything. He just shook his head.
"If the prince only goes there for one day, it's okay if Jin Zhao doesn't go. However, since he has to stay there for two or three days, Jin Zhao hopes to go with the prince. After all, I am your personal maid. If I am here, you
It will be more convenient." Jin Zhao was calm and sincere, "No matter what happened before, Your Majesty, I will always be your personal maid. You don't have to protect me like this. Jin Zhao can clearly distinguish between good and bad."
Hearing what she said, Ye Yunsheng's heart was shaken. It was not the first time he saw her calmness, but he still couldn't help being shocked by her, "They say there are no useless people in the sixth brother's house. It seems,
I underestimated you at first."
Jin Zhao frowned, pretending to be shy, "Your Majesty, you compliment me."
"Go down and get ready." Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ye Yunsheng didn't try to force her, but——
"Since Nan Shuibi is here, he will also go this time."
Jin Zhao naturally knew the meaning of his words. After all, Nan Shuibi's behavior during this period was always embarrassing for Jin Zhao and difficult for her to get through. But she didn't care. Since Nan Shuibi's last time
After rescuing her, although she had been wary of him, she didn't hate him as much as before.
"Jin Zhao knows what to do. Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."
With that said, it was inconvenient to stay, so he left the house. After asking Butler Zhou what he should bring with him when he went to serve this time, he returned to the house and got ready.
Get up early the next morning, wait at the door and set off with Ye Yunsheng's carriage.
However, when they arrived at the city gate to meet all the princes, when Emperor Jingcang also arrived, he announced that he was going to hunt in the mountains and forests of Poyue Valley on the outskirts of the city, and changed the hunting address.
All the princes were a little stunned when they heard that they were not going to the place they go to every year. Ye Yunsheng looked at Emperor Jingcang in confusion: "Why aren't you going to the paddock?"
"What's the point of having those captured things in the paddock every year? Since the Crown Prince of Nanshao Kingdom is here this time, why don't we take him to other places to avoid people thinking that we in Beicang Kingdom have nothing." Ye Fengxuan
He yawned lazily and glanced meaningfully at Nan Shui Bi. Nan Shui Bi seemed not to have heard anything, and kept throwing peanuts beside him, eating and playing. He seemed to have no interest in hunting.
.
Listening to Ye Fengxuan's words, Ye Yunsheng knew that he must have said something to Emperor Jingcang during the trip, or that this hunting was actually his idea. His eyes deepened, "I can't see that the sixth brother is actually like this."
It’s time to worry about these things.”
"How could it not be?" Ye Fengxuan raised his eyebrows, "I almost feel sick in your house. There is no fun at all. I really don't know how you spend your daily life."
It seems like there is so much fun in your house. Besides looking at the plum blossoms, do you have other fun? Ye Yunsheng glanced at him coldly. They were all living in his house. He didn't drive him away, but he first
Disgusted.
"However, the food is getting better and better." Nan Shuibi suddenly answered, and the peanuts in his hand were replaced by shortbread cookies at some point.
Ye Fengxuan chuckled softly, "His Royal Highness, he never forgets this incident wherever he goes."
"Life without food is lonely. That's natural." Nan Shuibi smiled heartlessly. If Ye Fengxuan hadn't gone through Jin Zhao's incident, he would have been on guard against him. It is estimated that he would have been deceived by his appearance.
.
"So, I seem to have missed some exciting things recently. Oh, third brother, you are partial and unjust, ah..." Old Si Ye Xinchen couldn't help but get into trouble.
When Emperor Jingcang heard their conversation, he had long noticed that the smiles in their conversation were hidden. If the conversation continued like this, it would probably turn into a scuffle among the princes. Emperor Jingcang hurriedly rode up to the middle of them and laughed.
He said energetically: "Okay, the chat is over. Let's go on our way immediately. Don't miss the good time for hunting! Let's go, let's go! Drive!"
As he said that, Emperor Jingcang had already started to lead the way on his horse and started running wildly.
The emperor was dispatched. How could the other princes dare to delay? They immediately raised their whips and chased after him.
Jin Zhao, who was sitting in the carriage, hadn't heard what they were saying clearly when the carriage suddenly rolled up. Even after staying here for a year, she still didn't like riding in this ancient means of transportation. She clutched the window tightly.
It was too late to care about the situation outside, so I protected my butt and followed the bumpy road.
After arriving at the Poyue Valley, the princes began to set up camp. In order to avoid the chance for her to meet Emperor Jingcang, Ye Yunsheng specially arranged her in the camp and left a bunch of chores for her to do. Then, before Emperor Jingcang,
At the call, he took the accompanying secret guards and went to gather for hunting.
This kind of massacre hunting is part of the life of ancient people, but for modern people like Jin Zhao, it is actually a bit difficult to accept. Therefore, since Ye Yunsheng arranged it in this way, although she wanted to follow her, she still could not bear it.
She had just been to this place a few days ago. Anyway, with Ye Fengxuan here, she believed that Ye Fengxuan could do everything perfectly. It didn't matter if she went or not. So, she settled down in the camp to deal with the trivial matters left by Ye Yunsheng.
However, while I was still busy, I couldn't help but wonder, who will win this battle between men?
It was quiet near the camp.
On the other side, at Emperor Jingcang's order, all the princes and their respective people quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
The flying hooves of horses in the valley woke up the birds perched on the trees, and they fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
But somewhere in the forest, it was very quiet.
"Do you think we braised this rabbit, steamed it, or stir-fried it?" Nan Shuibi, who was sitting on horseback, looked ahead and asked the people around her worriedly.
When it comes to food, His Highness starts to get sick. Yesterday, he was thinking that today would open his eyes and see what treasures are hidden in Beicang Kingdom. Now that they are here, their followers are all in high spirits.
He wanted to show off his skills and win glory for the country, but he forgot what he said yesterday and was completely focused on eating rabbit meat!
Hua Su looked at Nan Shuibi, who was in a daze, and couldn't help but said honestly: "Your Highness, that rabbit has run away."
Nan Shuibi waved her hand indifferently, "It's okay, it will come later. Do you think we should steam, braise, or stir-fry this rabbit? Or, we can grill it."
Already?"
"Your Highness, everyone else is chasing large prey, why are you just staring at the rabbit?" Hua Su couldn't understand. Logically speaking, isn't this an opportunity to demonstrate the comprehensive national strength and capability of Nanshao Kingdom?
How come His Highness doesn't care at all? It's really evil! Those princes just now used Nan Shuibi as their envoy, openly and secretly. Emperor Jingcang called him specifically just to let him see what he was doing.
How could His Highness not react at all to his son's strength?
Is it because I haven’t eaten enough?
No, I ate quite a lot in the morning.
Nan Shuibi glanced at Hua Su from the corner of her eye, and she had already seen through what he was thinking, but she had no intention of explaining. Instead, she smiled and said: "What do you know? I haven't eaten rabbit meat in half a year.
Suddenly I feel nostalgic."
Hua Su looked at Nan Shuibi's bright spring face, sighed, and sighed again. She really couldn't figure out what was in His Highness the Prince's mind.
At this time, Zhang Chi suddenly walked up from behind with his horse's belly under his belly, and whispered into Nan Shuibi's ear, interrupting their conversation, "Your Highness, Ye Fengxuan is here."
Nan Shuibi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands together, "Oh, the prey I was waiting for has finally arrived..."
