Chapter 163 The Xiao Family Who Remembers to Eat or Not to Fight
Chu Yunxi looked at Jun Lingyun as he watched the dog-eat-dog scene unfold.
"Ling Yun, let's go to the tent to rest for a while. It's too barking here."
At this moment, Xiao Feifei and Chu Xueer turned pale at the same time, barking? Barking? How dare Chu Yunxi compare them to dogs?
Jun Lingyun's expression was completely different. He changed his previous boredom and his voice was so gentle that it could make you cry.
"Okay, Xi'er can do whatever he wants."
This voice made Xiao Feifei feel itchy and mad with jealousy. If His Highness the Crown Prince was willing to talk to her in such a tone, she would be willing to die.
"Chu Yunxi, how dare you call His Highness the Crown Prince by his first name? What crime should be committed?"
"Bold! You dare to call the Crown Princess by her first name. What crime do you deserve?"
Jun Lingyun gave a sharp scolding, which made several people standing close tremble.
"She, she is not the princess yet."
Xiao Feifei argued with a trembling voice.
Jun Lingyun raised the hand she was holding with Chu Yunxi for everyone to see clearly.
"The eldest lady of the Chu family, Chu Yunxi, has been the crown princess from the moment she was born. You must remember it! Whoever dares to disrespect the crown princess again in the future is disrespectful to me, and I will not treat you lightly!"
Wherever Jun Lingyun looked, everyone lowered their heads. Who dared to look at the furious Crown Prince? Don’t you want your life?
However, there are indeed such people.
"Prince, who made you so angry again?"
In the silence, Xiao Guogong's old but resonant voice came. Xiao Feifei lowered her head unwillingly. Now her son saw the supporter coming and hurriedly came to Xiao Guogong's side.
"It is the prince's responsibility to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family. I think Feifei is right. There should be more people around the prince to serve him."
Duke Xiao's words seemed to be polite, but in reality he was disrespectful by making casual comments to the prince.
Jun Lingyun didn't seem to be angry at his provocation, but instead raised his lips slantingly.
"Xiao Guogong, have the funerals of the children in the family been dealt with? Have the deceased souls been appeased and saved? Can they sleep soundly at night?"
Jun Lingyun's series of "concerns" made Xiao Guogong's face full of anger and he couldn't stop trembling. It also made everyone around him quietly disperse. The smell of gunpowder was too strong, so as not to harm Chi Yu.
Jun Lingyun continued to spread salt.
"We are losing our beloved sons and daughters one after another, and the white-haired people are giving away the black-haired people. My father-in-law, please be grieving and take care of yourself. When you are old, you may worry too much and it will easily harm your body."
After lighting the fire, Jun Lingyun led Chu Yunxi directly into the prince's tent.
Xiao Guogong stared at the spot and could not move for a long time. Xiao Feifei pursed her lips and gently shook Xiao Guogong's arm worriedly.
"Father, are you okay?"
Xiao Guogong's mouthful of old blood reached his throat, and he forcefully swallowed it back. He raised his hand to signal Xiao Feifei to stop shaking, "It doesn't matter."
He cannot fall, he will be the master of Yunxiao Kingdom, and he will also watch Jun Hongyan, who carries his bloodline, ascend to the throne. His Xiao family will enjoy glory for generations.
Xiao Feifei saw that her father didn't seem to be in trouble, so she supported Xiao Guogong and went to rest in the tent. It seemed that her father could not participate in the hunt in person this time.
The princes who were watching this scene from a distance were already thinking about which team they would take. If princes like them who cannot inherit the throne accidentally fall on the wrong team, they will end up in the most miserable way.
"Two royal brothers, do you think Duke Xiao is much older than last year?"
The fourth prince Jun Chengde's mother's family is not prosperous, and he has no thoughts of fighting for power and gain. He just wants to live in a corner.
No matter who becomes emperor in the future, as long as he doesn't destroy his happiness, it has nothing to do with him.
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The fourth emperor brother, princes like us who always live in the fiefdom, it is better to be cautious in our words and deeds."
The third prince Jun Chengyi glanced at the second prince Jun Chengren. The second prince's cousin was married to Jun Hongyan as a concubine.
I had planned ahead of time. I just didn’t know if I hugged the wrong thigh.
The fourth prince also remembered this incident and stopped talking. He only looked at the second prince with strange eyes. He, the second prince, was the most reticent and kept all his worries to himself, so he had to be careful.
Wear some.
"The Emperor has arrived! Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Rou have arrived!"
The little eunuch shouted, and everyone gathered together to salute the emperor and the concubines.
Concubine Rong looked at the third prince Jun Chengyi with tears in her eyes. She had not seen her son for another year.
Concubine Hui Xi also saw the fourth prince Jun Chengde at a glance and nodded to him happily.
Concubine Zhen and Concubine Rou don’t have to suffer from missing their children, they both have smiles on their faces.
Concubine Zhen is the biological mother of the sixth prince Jun Chengze. The sixth prince is not yet an adult, but the emperor said that when the prince was twelve years old, he had already gone to the battlefield to practice. Chengze is just twelve this year, so he should come to the hunting ground to see the world.
Concubine Rou was the mother-in-law of Princess Wantao, whom the emperor loved most.
Only the second prince, Jun Chengren, seemed a little lonely in this joyous gathering. He looked at Jun Lingyun, who also had no biological mother to protect him, and wondered whether Jun Lingyun could feel the same as him at this moment.
The emperor looked at his sons, who had all returned to him, in a good mood and in high spirits.
"It is rare for us, father, son, monarch, and ministers to gather together. Today, you have to show your true skills and let me see if you have made progress."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone responded in unison.
All the princes, generals, and young men have already mounted their horses.
This is the day all year long that the ladies can feast their eyes the most. They are all shy and timid, but the stars are shining in their eyes.
The emperor also got on the horse, looked around, and narrowed his eyes, "Where is Duke Xiao?"
Xiao Feifei stepped forward and replied: "Back to the Emperor, my father suddenly felt unwell and is resting in the camp. I am afraid that he will not be able to hunt with you anymore. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The emperor's horse's hooves kicked irritably a few times, as if he couldn't wait any longer. The emperor looked meaningfully at the Xiao family's tent. Mr. Xiao, is he really feeling unwell or is he pretending to be unwell?
The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked back at the concubines.
"Concubine Rong, you will be in charge here, and you will have a good time with the ladies from each family."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Rong was overjoyed. After so many years, Concubine Xiao was finally gone. Now there was no one in charge of the harem. The emperor had given her face on such a grand occasion. So, would she have a chance to reach a higher level?
Or even ascend to the position of queen?
"Whoever catches the most prey will be rewarded heavily. Let's go!"
The emperor shouted loudly, and all these high-spirited men galloped out on their horses. The daughters' family members who were left behind were also excited and eager to try.
Chu Yunxi looked at Jun Lingyun who had disappeared in front of him. He didn't know what dangers were waiting for him ahead. Ling Yun, you must be safe and sound.
There were also her father, brothers, King Hao and Prince Hao. Thinking that Jun Lingyun had already made arrangements, she felt a little more at ease.
"Let's go throw pot too."
With a smile on her face, Concubine Rong led the women to the prepared venue.
Xiao Feifei suddenly stood in front of Chu Yunxi.
"I want to challenge you, do you dare to challenge me?"
This sound attracted the attention of everyone present.
Su Yan, Princess Guo, and Princess Wantao who arrived later were all worried about Chu Yunxi, and more people wanted to watch the fun.
