Chapter 529 I Will Marry You

"Sister Xiao, I knew you hunted a lot. When we separated, you already had eighteen prey." The Sixth Princess' eyes lit up when she heard this.

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Lianxin who was standing beside her. Lianxin immediately took the hunting sign off the clothes Xiao Jiuyue had changed yesterday and said, "Miss, everything is here."

"There are a total of twenty-nine sign cards." Lian Xin also thoughtfully reported the number she had counted, no more, no less, just one more prey than Princess Mu Xi and the Sixth Princess.

"Impossible!" Du Ting subconsciously didn't believe it.

The Sixth Princess retorted directly, "Miss Du, you hunt so many, so it's only natural. But it's impossible for Sister Xiao to hunt so many? Are you jealous that Sister Xiao is better than you?"

The Sixth Princess is like Xiao Jiuyue’s little fan girl, blindly worshipping Sister Xiao.

"Could it be that someone else helped you hunt?" Du Ting still refused to believe it, but Lianxin took the sign and counted it again, she muttered.

"Miss Du, it seems someone else hunted your prey for you? Otherwise, how could you have thought of that?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her and directly refuted her. She said, "In fact, we hunted thirty-one, and there are two left that we didn't have time to count. But the guards around the hunting grounds should be able to tell that it was my arrow that hit them."

"That's right, Miss Du, could it be that someone helped you hunt? We hunted everything ourselves." The Sixth Princess pursed her lips in suspicion. Although she really wanted to win at that time, she even thought about it. If she and Xiao Jiuyue were put together, wouldn't they definitely win against Princess Mu Xi and Du Ting?

But Xiao Jiuyue's words made her understand that winning must be fair and square!

At the same time, the Sixth Princess was somewhat glad that she did not act rashly and directly give her prey to Xiao Jiuyue. Otherwise, if they were to confront each other now, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth full of words.

"Of course I hunted it myself." Du Ting answered with a guilty conscience.

Princess Mu Xi asked, "The cards should still be traceable. Since you have doubts, let's check them out. After all, after a whole night, no one wants to lose without knowing why, right, Miss Du?"

"I give up." Du Ting was afraid that someone would check her. If they found that the arrow wound didn't match, she would be embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, I was too surprised, so I asked an extra question."

"Come here, call the guards from the hunting ground yesterday and check who of the four of us hunted and how many preys. The prey should still be in the warehouse, right? Check for arrow wounds and arrow shields." The Sixth Princess directly ordered someone to call the guards over.

"Okay, so that no one will say that I won dishonorably." Xiao Jiuyue was very calm and not afraid of being investigated at all.

Du Ting felt a little guilty and said, "Your Highness, I believe Miss Xiao won."

Princess Mu Xi wasn't afraid of the investigation. She shrugged and said, "It's okay to check it out."

Soon, the guards arrived and counted the prey in the yard outside. It was clear what each person had hunted.

"Wow, Sister Xiao, the wild rabbit you hunted must have become a spirit. It's so big!" The Sixth Princess saw the huge wild rabbit at a glance. It was particularly conspicuous among the many prey.

"Luck." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the wild rabbit. He was surprised when he saw it. It was much bigger than ordinary wild rabbits.

Du Ting looked at the prey with a guilty conscience. Some of them were hunted with the help of the Second Prince.

Mu Xi stared at Xiao Jiuyue's prey and saw her counting them with her own eyes. There were even two that hadn't been given a sign. She said, "Miss Xiao, you've hunted a total of thirty-one."

In the end, Xiao Jiuyue won without a doubt. His victory was fair and square, and he received 1,500 taels of silver. Xiao Jiuyue looked at Du Ting's sullen face and said happily, "When we return to Shengjing, I'll treat everyone to dinner at Fengchunlou."

"Then we're in for a treat."

"The new Fu Shou Quan from Fengchunlou is delicious."

"There are also whitebait and winter bamboo shoots. I like them."

"It's obviously the tripe and winter bamboo shoots that are delicious. The taste is so delicious that it makes my tongue fall off."

"If you want to go to Fengchunlou's private room, you have to make a reservation. If you go at the last minute, you'll have to sit in the lobby with everyone else."

“…”

Everyone was chattering about Fengchunlou, and all of them were praising it. Now it was winter, and fresh winter bamboo shoots were available in Hongdu. The dishes at Fengchunlou were enough to make a whole bamboo shoot banquet.

"Sister Xiao is the host, so we definitely don't have to wait for a table, right?" The Sixth Princess said with a smile, thinking in her heart that she would have to talk to her mother about it when the time comes. She wanted to leave the palace and have a meal with Sister Xiao.

"No need. I will give everyone a badge when the time comes. You can get a 20% discount when you go to dine with the badge." Xiao Jiuyue said generously. As for asking for a private room... forget it. The private rooms have to have a unified system. Otherwise, if you want a private room and she wants a private room, she will be keeping an eye on those private rooms every day.

"Sister Xiao, we are so lucky."

Everyone was chatting lively, and Du Ting looked at Xiao Jiuyue jealously. Why was she treated like the moon surrounded by stars?

Princess Mu Xi asked curiously, "Is the food in Fengchunlou good?"

When she first came to Shengjing, she either ate at the embassy post or at the palace. The exquisite side dishes there were not as good as those in Yongzhao, who drank wine and ate meat with big mouthfuls!

"Delicious." Everyone began to recommend Fengchunlou's food to Princess Muxi. Those who had been there praised it, but those who had never been there, like the Sixth Princess, could only hear about it...

Yesterday, an assassin appeared during the hunt, and the competition between Yongzhao and Nanyue was still going on. For five days, Xiao Jiuyue had turned a disaster into a blessing. He didn't have to force a smile and could just stay quietly in the tent to recuperate.

"Jiuyue, I'll get you a roast chicken." Jun Lie secretly brought the roast chicken to Xiao Jiuyue, startling her while she was reading a medical book. She looked around and said, "There are guards everywhere outside, you..."

"I'll put down the roast chicken and leave. Don't worry, no one will find out." Jun Lie put down the roast chicken and reminded: "Eat it while it's hot."

After saying that, Jun Liezhen didn't stay long and was about to leave. Before leaving, Jun Lie said: "Jiuyue, when I return to Shengjing, I will marry you."

After saying this, Jun Lie ran faster than a rabbit.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Jiuyue wanted to call him, but Jun Lie walked too fast. She didn't have time to ask how Jun Lie was doing.

"Donggui, do you think he is a little weird?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Donggui in confusion. Jun Lie had not come to see her for five days. She also knew about his situation through Donggui.

But, why did you just leave the roast chicken and leave? Why didn’t you come a few days ago?

Dong Gui, who was unpacking the roast chicken, paused and said, "Perhaps, the Third Prince is afraid of the crowd."

"Aren't you afraid today?" Xiao Jiuyue felt something was wrong. She stared at Donggui's face and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
