"Ah! Rabbit, rabbit!" Fang Ruotang shouted excitedly.

Just as Li Shiyun drew her arrow, another arrow shot out from behind her, striking the rabbit squarely in the head. The dying rabbit, its eyes wide open, was pinned to a nearby tree trunk.

Fang Ruotang was taken aback, her excited smile fading slightly. She turned around and saw Huo Zhige give her a provocative look, then jump off his horse, pick up the prey, and present it to her.

"I'm clearly better than the person you chose. Do you want to team up with me?"

"No!" Fang Ruotang snorted and ordered Li Shiyun, who was hesitating beside her, "You, you must hit every prey you see from now on, understand?"

Li Shiyun glanced at the six eager men and the other onlookers, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, there's no competition. It doesn't matter who hits the target. We'll just put all the prey together and roast them later."

"It's different, anyway you have to hit the most."

If Li Shiyun hits fewer people, doesn't that just show she has poor taste in people?

No, she can't lose.

Fang Ruotang glared at Huo Zhige, refusing to accept the prey he offered, pouted, snorted twice, and rode Little White past him.

Because Fang Ruotang had just learned to ride a horse, she couldn't run very fast. The group moved forward at a snail's pace and had been on the outskirts for some time, without seeing any prey run by.

After a while, another pheasant appeared in everyone's sight. Fang Ruotang immediately tilted her head and winked at Li Shiyun, and then she saw an arrow fly by out of the corner of her eye.

"Who, who is it?"

"It's me! Is there a problem?"

Fang Shengtang had a mocking smile on his face, clearly teasing Fang Ruotang on purpose.

Fang Ruotang pouted and watched as Yu Sheng jumped off his horse and took the pheasant she had her eye on.

[Ask your older sister, is she following you around because she can't bear to part with Prince Rong?] Little Mirror couldn't stand to see her master being wronged, and immediately wanted to help her fight back.

Fang Ruotang's eyes lit up.

Fang Shengtang's smile froze, and he said lazily, "Ah! So many people gathered together, but we can hardly see any prey. It's quite boring. Come on, Yu Sheng, let's take a different route and have some fun."

Fang Ruotang blinked, seeing that her older sister had taken the initiative to back down, she swallowed back the words she was about to say, but her gaze fell on Li Mingyu again.

Li Mingyu choked.

Yan Yan tugged at her sleeve and said obediently, "Sister, shall we go alone? I want to hunt a fox for you."

Li Mingyu immediately agreed.

She didn't want to get involved with the Crown Prince at all. Although Fang Ruotang hadn't yet developed feelings for love and didn't know what jealousy was, what if she suddenly did one day?

Most importantly, the Crown Prince will be wary of her.

This is utterly upside down!

For the sake of her life and her future, she should stay away from this madman!

"You! Take my fourth sister to another road." Fang Ruotang pointed at Huo Zhige, the one who had first snatched the prey she had her eye on.

Huo Zhige didn't know who Fang Ruotang's fourth sister was, but she was still one of the girls among the group of young men and women who had gathered together.

"No need, no need, I'll just stay with my senior brothers and sisters. We'll play by ourselves." Fang Wantang immediately refused, not wanting to get involved in this mess at all.

Seeing that her fourth sister was not cooperating with her, Fang Ruotang puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and glared at her retreating figure as she ran away quickly.

"So the six of you will travel together?"

She finished speaking, but no one paid any attention to her. Fang Ruotang pouted even more, looking very unhappy.

The little mirror offered another suggestion.

Tell them to have a competition among the six of them, and whoever wins gets a kiss.

"Have you forgotten? We have to do it secretly. We can't let them find out I'm having affairs."

Little Mirror: ...

Fine! Whatever makes you happy.

Anyway, I'm not the one being treated like a fool!

How about I give you a sachet that you made yourself?

"No way, who would want a sachet made from my chicken feet?"

You probably have no idea what Minister Ye did with your sachet!

What did you do?

"Cough cough!" Vice Minister Ye coughed violently while lying on his horse, his handsome face turning red from the cough, interrupting Fang Ruotang's conversation with Xiao Jingzi.

Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Fang Ruotang asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Ye Shilang loosely clenched his fist and placed it between his lips, saying shyly, "My throat is a little itchy; I might be getting sick."

"Oh, then drink more warm water," Fang Ruotang casually replied.

Ye Shilang had no idea that these were the words of a scumbag from his previous life, and even said with a bit of joy, "Miss Fang, don't worry about me. I've always been in good health, it's nothing to worry about."

Fang Ruotang glanced at Minister Ye with a puzzled look; she wasn't worried about him at all!

But before she could say anything, she nodded haphazardly. Under Xiao Jingzi's persuasion, her eyes darted around, and she asked nervously, "Would you like a sachet that I made myself? Uh, the really, really beautiful kind. You each go hunting, and whoever has the most game, I'll embroider a sachet for them, how about that?"

Fang Ruotang's guilty conscience and ulterior motives were crystal clear.

Didn't you just say your needlework was terrible?

Yes! But I can't tell them! What if they don't want to?

[You embroidered it by hand, how could they not want to steal it?]

That's because you haven't seen how bad my embroidery is.

"Okay, but the people from Tianyi Sect will have to follow you." The Crown Prince agreed immediately. Seeing how hard Fang Ruotang was trying to shake them off, what could he do but cooperate?

“Okay!” Fang Ruotang readily agreed.
