Qiao Yunting was sitting with several other generals. The third prince suddenly came to him, and Qiao Yunting was a little surprised.

Ye Ke said nervously: "General Qiao, thank you for saving me last time."

He finally said it this time, but it seems like he didn’t call me uncle?

Qiao Yunting smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. Your Highness is good at swordsmanship, but he lacks experience in battle, so he didn't react that day."

Ye Ke's face felt a little hot: How does he know that I know swordsmanship?

Glancing down at his golden clothes, Ye Ke realized that the other party must have seen the swordplay just now. But those were just the simplest moves, because the performance at the Qianqiu Banquet could not go wrong, and for a general who had experienced many battles, they were definitely just tricks.

So, this should be a courtesy.

Ye Ke said embarrassedly: "I should be fine normally..."

His father later admitted that he and Ye Heng were not as talented as the others, but in terms of diligence, he believed that he was not inferior.

Qiao Yunting said: "Your Highness, as long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be outstanding in the future."

Even though he knew it was a kind of comfort, Ye Ke still curled his lips.

"By the way, General Qiao, how long do you plan to stay in the Imperial City this time?"

I heard that many generals just came back to celebrate birthdays. Ye Ke was a little worried that Qiao Yunting would leave in a few days. The border was too far away from the imperial city.

Qiao Yunting lowered his eyes and said, "My father is seriously ill. I have requested an imperial decree to transfer him back to the imperial city."

Ye Ke realized that he had accidentally asked a stupid question, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Master Qiao will definitely get better soon."

Ye Ke thought of the pile of precious medicinal herbs that the Queen Mother had given to him and Ye Heng. They had lived among the common people for some time when they were young, and they were twins, so they were thinner than their other brothers. The Queen Mother felt sorry for them and often rewarded them with supplements and medicinal herbs, which almost piled up into a small mountain.

Ye Ke said, "I have a lot of ginseng, deer antlers, and snow lotus. I won't be using them anyway, so I'll give some to Master Qiao."

Without waiting for Qiao Yunting to react, Ye Ke turned around and called Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang came over quickly. Ye Ke whispered a few words to him, and Zhao Guang trotted off to do his work.

Ye Ke said: "General Qiao, please wait, it will be ready soon."

Qiao Yunting was a little surprised. Soon, Zhao Guang brought a few bulging packages to him. Qiao Yunting couldn't refuse such a generous offer, so he took it.

"I thank your Highness the Third Prince for the reward."

Ye Ke didn't want him to thank him, and immediately said: "It's not a reward, it's a gift to your father, I wish him a speedy recovery."

Qiao Yunting smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Before Ye Ke could say something else, Jin Li came to invite him. After the Qianqiu Banquet, the princes would toast to the emperor together. Ye Ke had no choice but to wave to Qiao Yunting and followed Jin Li, looking back every few steps.

Qiao Yunting had not taken the things given by the Third Prince seriously at first. But after returning home, he remembered them and ordered people to open them. They were all top-quality medicinal herbs, including two hundred-year-old mountain ginsengs. Good ginsengs were tributes and rare among the people, and his father needed them. Qiao Yunting had originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask the emperor for a reward, but the Third Prince's gift solved his problem.

Thinking about the innocent face of the Third Prince, he is such an honest young man.

That night, the innocent Third Prince rolled around in his quilt, too excited to sleep. Zhao Guang later went to ask the servants of the Qiao Mansion privately and learned that the medicinal materials were delivered on the spot. Ye Ke was so excited that he even thought about robbing Ye Heng. Ye Heng loved money, so he must have stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials.

The Second Prince sneezed several times, thinking that someone was missing him. The Second Prince was so proud of himself that the next day, he was not paying attention and found that the mountain of medicinal herbs he had worked so hard to collect was forcibly taken away by his ungrateful twin brother.

Ye Heng was so angry that he went to complain to his father. After Ye An learned the whole story, he felt that the third son was a grateful son, while the second son was always stingy as a prince, which was not appropriate. It was time to pluck some feathers from this miser.

In the end, the Second Prince's painful look did not win his father's sympathy, but instead made his old father laugh so hard that he fell into the old man's arms.

The next day, the Qiao family received the second wave of gifts from the Third Prince, a whole truck of medicinal herbs. Qiao Yunting frowned slightly. This gift was too generous. He couldn't just take advantage of His Royal Highness the Prince, he had to find a way to give something back.

A month later, it was the autumn hunt, in which all the princes and nobles would participate.

Ye An himself was not very interested in hunting. In order to prevent the tragedy of His Majesty the Emperor failing to hit the target after shooting hundreds of times, he usually sat quietly in the tent, waiting for good news from others.

Ever since Mu Ci experienced Ye An's amnesia, he had no plans to go anywhere, not even to go out hunting alone. He was unwilling to be separated from Ye An even for just one or two hours.

Ye An finally felt it was a pity, and pinched Mu Ci's palm and said, "The Crown Prince has been ranked first for four consecutive years. As his father, don't you want to teach him a lesson?"

Hunting has its own rules. Generally speaking, all those who participate in the hunt will be ranked according to the number of prey they hunt. The first place will receive a generous reward. Since the emperor and empress do not participate, the first place every year in recent years has always been the crown prince.

Mu Ci smiled: "Xiao An, it's no use provoking me. Either you come with me, or I stay here with you."

Mu Ci once won the first place in a certain year because Ye An took the urge to ride with him that year. As a result, they were running around on the horse all day long. Ye An felt like his butt was about to split. Later, no matter who tried to persuade him, he refused to go hunting again, because if he didn't go, Mu Ci wouldn't go either.

Mu Ci was so determined that Ye An gave in directly. It seemed that they would still have to stay in the tent together this year.

Hunting was presided over by the emperor. The emperor and empress did not have to participate, but the princes were required to actively participate as per the rules.

Ye Lian wanted to give it a try, so Ye An had already prepared a set of gorgeous women's riding clothes for the little princess, a little red horse that could travel a thousand miles a day, and he also made the most suitable bow for the little princess to cheer for his daughter.

This is Ye Lian's first time participating. She is in a group with Ye Chen and the other two kids. The groups of the others are also easy to guess. Ye Heng is usually inseparable from Ye Ke. Ye Xi used to be in a group by himself, but this year he married the Crown Princess, so naturally he is in a group with Su Xie.

But the old father only expected the beginning, not the end.

Before the show started, the second and third members of the original group whispered a few words.

"What, you're not teaming up with me this year?"

Ye Heng’s eyes widened.

Ye Ke had already thought about it, and whispered: "Father didn't say that we must be together. Didn't the prince brother also do it alone before? You can do it too."

Ye Ke seemed very anxious, and turned and left after he finished speaking.

Ye Heng thought to himself, big brother can take first place by himself. He and Ye Ke are not very good at archery. The two of them combined cannot beat big brother. If he is alone, he will probably be at the bottom...

Ye Heng suddenly had an idea. He could also look for his uncle!

Mu Yuan is good at riding and archery. Ye Heng wants to be in a group with Mu Yuan. With Mu Yuan leading him, at least he won't be the last one.

Ye An's old father listened to the report from the secret guard in the tent. What the hell, is the premature love kid going to find his uncle again? !

For the sake of the cub, Ye An was not afraid of the pain in his buttocks. He stood up quickly and said to Mu Ci: "Ah Ci, this won't do. We have to cut off the second cub!"

Mu Yuan had gone hunting first, and Ye Heng was unable to find Mu Yuan to discuss things. When he turned around, Ye An's old father smiled brightly at him.

"Heng'er, you don't have a team, right? Come join the dads!"

The third cub, who was accidentally not noticed by his old father, was wearing a handsome white riding suit with gold edges and riding his horse towards the general who had been waiting for a long time at the edge of the paddock.

"General Qiao, sorry for the wait. I'm late!"

After Qianqiu, Ye Ke wanted to talk to Qiao Yunting again, but he was still young and could not attend court or leave the palace, so he had never found an excuse to meet him. Unexpectedly, happiness came suddenly. General Qiao actually took the initiative to invite him to hunt together, which made Ye Ke very happy.

"Thank you for your honor, Your Highness."

Qiao Yunting looked at the excited young man with a smile in his eyes.

The Third Prince gave him a lot of medicinal herbs, but he had no way to repay him, so he thought it would be better to help hunt more prey and win a good ranking for the Third Prince.

He had never contacted the Third Prince before, so he sent a message with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, it went smoothly and the Third Prince immediately agreed to work with him.

Ye Ke laughed: "With General Qiao's help, my second brother will probably be at the bottom!"

Qiao Yunting asked, "What does your highness want to fight for?"

Ye Ke asked: "Anything is fine?"

Qiao Yunting nodded. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as the queen's, he was quite good at hunting.

Most of the animals in the enclosure were prepared in advance, nothing new. Ye Ke wanted to see General Qiao's skills. Just then, a few sparrows flew over their heads. Ye Ke deliberately asked, "How about a little bird?"

Qiao Yunting drew his bow and shot an arrow, without even aiming, a sparrow was shot through the eye by the arrow and fell on Ye Ke's knees.

Ye Ke was overjoyed, this was created from nothing!

"General Qiao, let's go hunt snow foxes. Snow foxes are hard to hunt. My second brother and I always fail to catch one..."

Qiao Yunting hesitated and said, "There are few snow foxes in the enclosure. If you chase the snow fox, Your Highness may not be able to catch other prey."

Ye Ke shook his head wildly: "Ranking doesn't matter! I want a snow fox, okay?"

Qiao Yunting asked about the approximate location of the snow fox and took Ye Ke to chase it. Because snow foxes were rare and their fur was precious, many people came for the snow foxes. Those who were closer had already been targeted, so they went to a farther place and searched for a long time before they finally found one.

Qiao Yunting hushed Ye Ke softly, asking him not to make any noise. He was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow, but Ye Ke looked at the snow-white, furry little thing and felt reluctant to do so.

This arrow will definitely hit the eye and will not hurt the fur, but the little fox will die.

Ye Ke leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Can we catch him alive?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yunting put down his bow, drew out his sword, nodded silently at Ye Ke, and crouched towards the unaware snow fox.

Ye Ke closed his eyes nervously.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and saw Qiao Yunting standing in front of him with a sullen face.

Ye Ke thought the snow fox had run away, and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, we can still find it!"

Qiao Yunting curled his lips and raised his hands from behind his back. He saw that the snow fox was held upside down in his hands by its tail, grinning but unable to break free.

Ye Ke cried out in surprise.

“I really caught him!!”

He cheered and crawled forward. Qiao Yunting hurriedly caught Ye Ke. Looking at the boy's bright peach blossom eyes, Qiao Yunting seemed to see the emperor of his early years for a moment.

Looks like...

Qiao Yunting suddenly realized this fact and his whole body froze.

Ye Ke didn't notice his abnormality and reached out to touch the snow fox. The snow fox took advantage of Ye Ke's unpreparedness and opened its mouth to bite him. Qiao Yunting came to his senses and pushed the snow fox's sharp mouth aside in time.

"Be careful, it bites."

Ye Ke learned his lesson and touched the snow fox again in a mischievous way. When the snow fox bit it again, he withdrew his finger in advance and had a lot of fun.

Qiao Yunting watched him teasing the snow fox and his heart gradually calmed down.

This is the third prince, not the emperor.

The emperor had never been so close to him.

He has also let go of his relationship with the emperor.

Neither of them wore chains. Zhao Guang, who had been following Ye Ke, fetched a cage and put the snow fox into it.

Ye Ke held the cage and looked at it reluctantly for a while, then put it down.

"General Joe, let's hunt some more rabbits!"

Qiao Yunting smiled: "Are you going to survive this time?"

"No need." Ye Ke shook his head. "I can also catch rabbits. Just watch me."

There were the most rabbits in the paddock, and Ye Ke found one without much effort. He aimed carefully but missed. The arrow stuck in the ground, scaring the rabbit away.

Ye Ke couldn't help but blush. He was slapped in the face just after he made a big talk!

Qiao Yunting frowned and said, "Your Highness, the way you drew the bow just now was not right."

Ye Ke murmured: "My father also said it was wrong, but I can never change... Sometimes I can get it right, and sometimes I can't."

"The hand position is wrong, and the direction of force is wrong."

Qiao Yunting came over, held Ye Ke's hand, put it in the correct position, and then slowly pulled the bow with him.

Ye Ke could smell the same fragrance from Qiao Yunting as the locust flowers in Jinhua Palace. Although it was different from that of his father, it was a very warm scent.

Ye Ke actually likes locust flowers very much and couldn't help but look at the handsome man in front of him for a while longer.

The Emperor said that the Empress is the most beautiful, but General Qiao is not bad either.

"Concentrate." Qiao Yunting said without emotion.

Ye Ke stopped thinking about random things and focused all his attention on archery. This time he finally hit the rabbit.

“Hit!”

Ye Ke jumped three feet high.

Qiao Yunting asked him to try it himself, and Ye Ke tried again. Although it was not always successful, he made very few mistakes.

"Your Highness is very smart. He can do it as long as he puts his heart into it."

After receiving the praise, Ye Ke felt that he would not be able to sleep again at night.

The Crown Prince, along with the Crown Princess, hunted more prey than in previous years and thought they had secured first place. However, a dark horse emerged in the paddock. The Emperor and Empress joined the hunt with the Second Prince. The Empress hunted a bear, several deer, and countless rabbits. The Crown Prince admitted defeat with a sincere sense of defeat.

Not only that, when the ranking was announced, the emperor held a rare snow fox with a gold chain tied around its neck. The fox curled up like a cat and nestled obediently in Ye An's arms.

Needless to say, this snow fox was caught by Mu Ci.

The bamboo bear named GunGun from Baihua Pavilion passed away at the beginning of the year. Ye An was so sad that he couldn't eat for several days. Mu Ci wanted to use this snow fox to cheer Ye An up.

Ye An was holding the snow fox with great joy, and was about to start his outrageous naming skills.

He knew that Mu Ci had put a lot of effort into catching this fox just to comfort him, so should he still call him Gun Gun?

"Or, just call me Xiao Ci." Ye An smiled.

A small resignation? !

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess both covered their mouths, trying hard to hold back their laughter.

Mu Ci was not surprised. If he didn't call her Xiao Ci, he would probably call her Xiao Huai or Xiao Xuan.

"What are you thinking about!" Ye An tried to cover up, but it only made things more obvious: "It's the loving kindness of kindness!"

Ye Heng was hit hard by the dog food sent by his father and queen all the way, but he didn't even catch a rabbit. His father thought his archery skills were too poor, and finally kicked him out of the group in a cruel way. In other words, although he followed his father and queen, he didn't get any benefit at all and sat at the bottom. Ye Heng was so desperate.

Ye Ke came back late, sneaking around with a cage in his arms. He discovered that his father, the queen, had already caught a snow fox for his father, the emperor. The cub, who had been feeling somewhat guilty, was relieved that he could finally keep the little fox.

My father’s snow fox is called Xiaoci, what should he be called?

Ye Ke chuckled and thought, why not just call him Xiao Ting - it means Ting in courtyard!
