Ji Bai was incredibly skilled; with just a few key moves, he caused chaos and defeat for the Feng family, while remaining completely unscathed himself.

No one would have thought that a mere elementary school student would dare to target a powerful merchant.

Xiao Zhixing knew that everyone probably thought she was getting revenge.

Fine, she'll take the blame.

I wonder if Ji Tongban has any reward money that satisfies her?

The three then discussed hunting.

Li Wenxiu said with great interest:

"Many of my older sisters are going this time. My eldest sister is a bit sad because she's getting married and can't go. Sister Zhixing, how about we go horseback riding together? I'm pretty good at riding horses."

Lin Rushu laughed, "You little rascal, you've been waiting for this day, haven't you? I wonder how your Li family, the literary champion, produced such a darling who dislikes literature but loves martial arts?"

Li Wenxiu pouted, "Hmph, I didn't go too far. Wenye studied, he just likes riding horses, hunting, and counting rods. Why can't he?"

Xiao Zhixing joked, "It's alright. Once I've mastered my martial arts, I can suppress my future husband."

"Sister~~~" Li Wenxiu stomped her feet in embarrassment and pounced on her to tickle her.

Xiao Zhixing laughed and reached out to pinch her fancy fists and legs.

Lin Rushu pondered for a moment, then said softly:

"Do you think this hunt... might be a way to choose a wife for the eldest prince?"

Li Wenxiu exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, wasn't it said that Zhao Xi of the Feng family was his principal wife?"

Nobody wants to marry a sickly man, even if he is of noble status and his health seems to have improved in recent years.

So when the Imperial Concubine took in the eldest daughter of the Feng family, renamed her Zhao Xi, and raised her as a princess, everyone privately thought that she was prepared as the principal wife for the eldest prince.

In Dasheng, there aren't many rules; as long as they aren't blood siblings, they can still get married.

Lin Rushu shook her head and whispered:

"I heard that Zhao Xi doesn't like the eldest prince, and neither of them has any intention of discussing marriage. So I thought, could this be..."

Li Wenxiu sat up straight. "Ah, so you and Sister Zhixing both have a chance of being selected?"

She's young, so she's not worried about being chosen.

Xiao Zhixing was stunned for once. Marriage? Getting married?

Such strange and unfamiliar words.

Having lived for over two hundred years, she had never been associated with such words, not even the chance to lose her husband.

At this point, the comments section seemed to be stunned, then went crazy, turning from praising Ji Bai's black sesame filling to wailing.

[No! The princess won't marry!! Waaaaah, the princess is beautiful all by herself!]

[I can't marry Sister Rushu either! No one is good enough for my goddess!]

[Can someone tell me, did this actually happen in history? Huh?!]

【*********, don't rush me. Let's look through the books. As you all know, many precious books were lost due to cosmic wars. No one can be certain whether this actually happened.】

Indeed, we only know about famous deeds and some legendary figures; historians can't even be certain about the minor events in the distant river of history.

[Stop wailing, everyone! I bet the princess won't marry him! Please, she won't marry him!]

[Waaah, but that's the emperor's son! If I'm chosen, am I supposed to defy the imperial decree?!]

Xiao Zhixing suddenly realized that his face was the exemption token.

So I calmed down.

Whether or not she is actually choosing a Crown Prince's consort this time is none of her business.

She had previously speculated that the major incident during the hunt might be related to the eldest prince or the emperor, which was the key point.

However, the people of Shengjing City all had this speculation about the selection of a concubine for the eldest prince during the hunt.

Therefore, those families with such ideas had already prepared clothes and jewelry for their daughters in advance.

Those without specific plans can simply treat it as a trip to have fun and watch a show.

Amidst this bustling activity, in the twentieth year of Yunping, the hunting expedition in Yanshan, Beizhou, began with the raising of flags.

[It's here, it's here... The curtain rises!]
