Knowing that the Holy Father ordered that you need to bring your family with you when hunting, Yunli had no choice but to consider letting Su Jin go with him.
You must know that Su Jin injured his neck last night. If his father saw it, he would definitely think that he was scolding his wife just a few days after their wedding. His behavior would also anger his father for no reason.
Although Yunli didn't care about his father's attitude towards him, he had to hide his edge and pretend to be an obedient puppet. The queen behind him would not allow him to make any mistakes.
Before leaving, Yunli learned that the hunting clothes sent by the queen were missing after Liu Yiyi handed them to the third princess. Instead of pursuing the matter, Yunli asked Liu Yiyi to send a message to Su Jin, asking her to prepare to follow him.
Going to the hunting ground, unexpectedly, he happened to see Chunyue in a hurry leading Shen Xue and a group of maids to the other courtyard, and stopped them.
"Nowadays, you are so bold. You dare to lead anyone into the orange garden?"
Liu Yiyi was aggressive, but Chunyue was a maid who had seen big scenes after all. She suppressed her shock and said with a normal expression: "This is the first time that the three princesses have appeared in front of the princes and concubines after their wedding. Besides,
The Holy Emperor and the Queen will also be present, so it can't be too shabby or unseemly. My lady was really helpless, so she asked Shen to send her a selection of clothes, in order to win some favors for the Third Prince."
Liu Yiyi curled her lips in displeasure: "The news spreads quickly. Is your lady looking forward to this day?"
"There's no need to look forward to it. After all, he is the royal family. From now on, when the third prince attends any important banquet, my young lady will always be with him." As she spoke, Chun Yue arrogantly bumped Liu Yiyi's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, "Unlike some
A person who cares about the third prince can only be a maid by his side, not even worthy of being a concubine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yiyi's face suddenly twisted and her heart tightened.
After being angry at her maid Chun Yue, Liu Yiyi returned to Yunli to report back. When she pushed the door open, a dart passed through her side and was nailed to the wall. She was so stunned that she was almost hit by the dart.
hurt.
There was a piece of paper stapled to the dart. Yunli walked over, slowly pulled out the dart, picked up the paper and looked at it without looking at Liu Yiyi, who was almost injured.
"But there is a new mission? We can't get Liu Liyue now, so we can't sit still and wait for death, otherwise, the poison in my body will attack again." Liu Yiyi was awakened by Chun Yue's words, but she felt uneasy after all, and only saw the note.
A glimmer of hope was rekindled. After all, the third prince needed her.
After Yunli read it, he closed the note and put it in his arms, worried: "How come you can't even hide a concealed weapon?"
"Sir, there are two days left on the third day of this month." Liu Yiyi was afraid that Yunli had already forgotten the poison the Queen had given him in order to save Miss Shen's family. "The poison will attack then. What will you do?"
With his patience running low, Yunli put on an indifferent face and said coldly: "What I'm asking is, why can't you even hide a concealed weapon?"
Liu Yiyi quickly knelt down and apologized: "Yiyi will not do it again in the future."
"You don't need to participate in this mission, I will handle it myself."
After that, Yunli turned and left, leaving Liu Yiyi with nothing but a cold and indifferent back.
——
The royal hunting ground is located in the western suburbs, surrounded by mountains and lush trees. There are many prey hidden in the bushes, running among the mountains, forests and vegetation.
Several princes each led soldiers with four battle flags, flying the battle flag of Lingzhou Kingdom. The horses galloped freely and freely in the hunting grounds. The valley resounded with the neighing of the horses and the shouts of the soldiers. The wildness broke out and shocked the people.
The entire Lingzhou country.
Su Jin was sitting in a shed with the eldest princess, the second princess, and the fourth princess. The concubines were chatting and laughing happily. Only Su Jin was out of place, sitting aside and laughing calmly.
As time passed, there were more mosquitoes around. Even though the maid kept fanning the concubines and lighting incense to drive away the mosquitoes, she could not bear the itching after being bitten.
The eldest princess kept twisting her body and scratching without caring about her manners. The second princess and the fourth princess first encouraged her and then started scratching her too. Only Su Jin kept her posture throughout the whole process and looked into the depths of the mountain forest with a smile on her face.
, looking forward to the triumphant return of the third prince.
The emperor couldn't help frowning when he saw the pretentious and pampered appearance of his several daughters-in-law. Then, he turned to Eunuch Li beside him and gave a few instructions, and then the next thing came to mind.
"The emperor has issued a decree, announcing that the princes will return immediately."
Eunuch Li ordered the guards to look for several princes, and the princes returned to the camp one after another. They were all handsome and fighting fiercely. Among them, the second prince also hunted a golden pheasant in a short period of time, and was about to show off to his father.
However, he was frightened by his father's sudden announcement and threw away the golden pheasant in his hand.
"Our sons are brave and good at fighting, and it is not difficult to return victorious from hunting. But why my father asked you to bring your family this time, it must be my intention. You must also be familiar with the terrain of the hunting ground. If anyone brings their respective
Princess, husband and wife are of one heart and one mind. If we hunt an elk, three golden pheasants, and a wild boar, I will consider you the winner and present you with the long-cherished Wind and Frost Sword."
After the emperor gave the order, all the concubines who were sitting in the camp shed, drinking tea and chatting, became panicked. Except for the female celebrities, who played chess, calligraphy and painting, and dressed up to please their husbands, they seemed to have never sat on horses, swaying in the wind.
I have fought against elk, wild boar, and wild beasts in the hunting grounds.
"Third Princess, do you really want to go? We can't even ride a horse, so how can we hunt? Aren't you afraid of wild beasts?"
The eldest princess turned pale with fright, turned to look at Su Jin, and looked calm as she stood up and walked towards Yunli.
Su Jin smiled and suppressed the fear in her heart: "Now that we have come, we will be safe. Who among us dares to resist the order? I believe that your husband will protect you."
Actually, Su Jin was more panicked than anyone else. After all, she dared to question the third prince with all her heart last night. How could she dare to sit in front of him and hunt with him today without changing her face or heart?
However, who can’t do it when the occasion arises?
The third prince, who was sitting on horseback wearing a mask and looked majestic, saw Su Jin walking towards him like a spring breeze, his pupils narrowed slightly, showing a little discomfort.
"Look, my wife is still hiding in the shed and doesn't dare to come out!" Seeing this, the eldest prince started teasing inadvertently, "Not only is this third brother's wife beautiful, she is also very courageous. She deserves to be Mr. Su's daughter. Today
I think I can really help my third brother, and maybe I can even win the top spot."
"Brother, our third brother is also a malleable talent, deeply loved by our father. However, if this mask is taken off, even if he wins the first place, my father will not want to see him again." The second prince sang beside him.
Double Act, "Maybe for the third brother, it doesn't matter whether he returns to the palace to see his father or not."
The eldest prince spoke full of brotherly love, and every word pierced his heart: "But I heard from my mother that after the third brother got married, my father allowed him to take off his mask. If he wears it like this now, does it count as disobedience to his father?"
Yunli didn't say anything, and kept a cold expression on his face. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so the eldest prince and others couldn't see any clues.
But Su Jin saw through the disdain in Yunli's eyes. Every year he came last in hunting. It wasn't that he didn't want to show off his skills, but it was really tiring to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Su Jin walked to Yunli Ma, looked up at him, and stretched out her hand to signal: "Lead me on the horse to help you win the championship."
Yunli glanced at her condescendingly, with a hint of coolness in his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I'll throw you down to feed the beasts halfway?"
"Third Prince, can you give it a try?"
The ends of Su Jin's eyes curved up, and she looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, and said jokingly: "I'm still worried that the beasts won't be able to eat me when they see how wonderful I am."
A noble lady actually said such words. All the princes present were stunned for a moment, and then showed surprised expressions, including Yunli.
After all, I had seen her coquettish and pretentious look before in Guan Mansion.
Su Jin sat on the horse and was hugged by Yunli. This was the first time for the two of them to be so close and intimate. She was as motionless as a piece of wood, as stiff as if every time the horse ran hard, it was about to go.
fall apart.
Yunli noticed that she actually picked a piece of clothing that could cover the wound on her neck, thinking that she would use the wound to make a big fuss and embarrass herself in front of her father.
Seeing Su Jin holding on to the reins cautiously, Yunli made a "hush" sound, pulling on the reins, slowing down the horse. He looked at her in front of him, then looked away, pretending that he was not affected by her.
Xiao En Xiaohui interfered and said impatiently: "This place is located in a deep mountain, and there are often wild beasts coming and going. You can dismount."
"You really want to feed me to wild beasts?"
Su Jin pulled the reins tighter, leaning half of her body on the horse's back, for fear that Yunli would throw her down, "I was joking just now. I can neither fight nor fight, so how can I fight against ferocious beasts?"
confrontation?"
"Get down!"
Saying that, Yunli didn't hesitate at all and directly picked up Su Jin. Then, he turned around and flew off the horse. Su Jin was still in a dizzy state and was mercilessly thrown on the grass by him.
.
"Princes must take their families to hunt. If you do this, you are violating the emperor's order. The emperor will be furious if he knows."
Su Jin must seek an explanation now and convince the third prince to take her away, otherwise, she will definitely be in trouble today.
Yunli raised the corners of his lips mockingly, sat on the horse, and looked down at Su Jin again: "There is a cave in front of you. I will ask the guards to protect you there. I have something urgent to do. In an hour,
When I come to support you again, I want to see how the Third Princess can lead me to win the championship?"
"..."
It turns out that he didn't just throw himself here, but had other important matters.
Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and straightened her spine immediately after her body went limp: "Don't lie to me. If I die here today, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."
"Then you try too?"
With that said, Yunli pulled up the reins again, and the horse's front hooves neighed several times. Su Jin was so frightened that she quickly lay down on the spot, daring not to move.
The author has something to say:
Su Jin: Do you really expect me to be a ghost and not let you go?
Yunli: Being haunted by a female ghost is quite exciting.
