New My Fair Princess: Yongqi Reborn, Dominantly Protecting His Wife

On their wedding night, it should have been a joyous occasion for the Fifth Prince Yongqi and Princess Xinrong. Unexpectedly, a three-foot white silk did not take away Yongqi's mother, Consort ...

Chapter 52 Roasted Rabbit

The next day, those who needed to go out riding and hunting got up early, changed into their riding clothes, and followed behind Qianlong. The third prince Yongzhang and the fourth prince Yongxuan followed behind Qianlong on his left, while the fifth prince Yongqi and the sixth prince Yongrong followed behind Qianlong on his right. Of course, Xiaoyanzi was sandwiched between Yongqi and Yongrong.

Qing'er, Xiao Jian, and the Fu brothers followed behind them. Qianlong rode at the front on horseback. With the support of several princes, Qianlong fired the first arrow, which marked the start of the hunt.

Emperor Qianlong shouted, "You youngsters, show me your true skills and let me see how well your training has gone through!"

Accompanying the hunters was Yunxi, who was in charge of teaching them horseback riding and archery. Yunxi laughed and said, "Did you hear that? Show the Emperor your true skills. If you don't perform well and ruin my reputation, your training will be doubled when we get back!"

Those about to attend Yunxi's training sessions were feeling utterly hopeless. The Sixth Prince, Yongrong, couldn't help but ask, "Master, if only one person doesn't perform well, do the rest of us have to train twice as hard?"

Yunxi nodded. "Of course. You must have a spirit of teamwork. Otherwise, how will you go to the battlefield and defend your country in the future?"

Although what Yunxi said was a world away from them, and some of them might never experience the feeling of going to the battlefield in their lives, they still had to be prepared and train hard!

Emperor Qianlong laughed and said, "Did you hear that? Do your best, go for it!"

As soon as Qianlong gave the order, everyone scattered and went to find their own prey. Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi and the others went in the same direction. Because they were still young, if they encountered danger and separated, it would be difficult for them to protect themselves. So it was best to stay with Xiao Jian, who was currently the most skilled in martial arts!

They chased each other on the field until almost noon, when they finally stopped running. Yongqi dismounted and took out the rabbits he had caught. "Little Swallow, let's eat these rabbits for lunch today."

Afterwards, Yongqi, Erkang, Ertai, and Xiaojian set up the barbecue grill. Xiaoshunzi and Xiaoguizi went to get the seasonings. Xingchen, Shizhu, and Jiang Ying also went to help. Only Xiaoyanzi and Qing'er were arranged to rest by a tree. Xiaoyanzi really wanted to go and help, but Yongqi and Xiaojian refused no matter what, so she could only watch the show with Qing'er.

Watching Yongqi and Xiaojian's skillful movements, Xiaoyanzi and Qing'er couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys are amazing!"

Qing'er looked at Xiao Jian in disbelief, "Xiao Jian, you can even roast a rabbit!"

Xiao Jian humbly replied, "I've traveled all over the country and naturally learned a little bit about everything, so I know a little bit too!"

Little Swallow whispered in Qing'er's ear, "I think my brother might not be able to have children, but he can do everything else!"

Qing'er didn't believe it. She looked at Xiao Jian and asked, "Xiao Jian, do you know how to embroider?"

Xiao Jian was puzzled when Qing'er suddenly asked him this. "I can sew things, but I sew human flesh and wounds more often. I can't do embroidery like you said. Why are you asking this?" Did she want him to do needlework?

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually to see if you really are as Little Swallow said, that you can do everything except have children!"

Xiao Jian's face flushed red the instant Qing'er finished speaking. "I'm not that strong! Don't listen to Xiao Yanzi's nonsense!"

Then Xiao Jian looked at Yongqi and said with a wicked smile, "I think the Fifth Prince is the most capable. He has status, position, and power. He is also skilled in both literature and martial arts. He is so filial to the Emperor and Consort Yu, and so gentle, considerate, and patient with Xiao Yanzi. I think he is more capable than me!"

Upon hearing Xiao Jian flatter him, Yongqi quickly replied, "No, no, no, I'm not as good as you! Besides, if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have met Xiao Yanzi now!"

Xiao Shunzi and the others were all trying not to laugh when they heard what they said.

Actually, they're professionals at suppressing laughter; they can only hold it in when it's absolutely hilarious. So, one person couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the whole room erupted in laughter. Fu Ertai sighed, "Brother, I'm starting to feel more and more like we're superfluous!"

“I think so too, but the two of us can’t leave!” They have to stay and protect Yongqi’s safety. If they leave, not only will Qianlong not forgive them, but even their own father, Fulun, will not let them off the hook!

Yongqi was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Don't worry, your true love will definitely appear, it just takes some time! In the end, you will all get what you want!"

At this point, Yongqi couldn't help but recall the way Xiaoyanzi eagerly tied red ribbons for them in the Matchmaker Town of his past life. Ertai was the first to get married, and afterwards, he and Xiaoyanzi were separated. Ziwei and Erkang were also in a crisis, and Benjamin was still all alone...

Fu'ertai asked curiously, "Fifth Prince, you're so certain about it, why don't you tell us? Do you know who we'll marry in the future? Tell us who it is!"

Fu Erkang chimed in, "That's right, give us a hint, at least so we have some idea of ​​what to expect!"

Seeing their intense curiosity, Yongqi couldn't help but sigh. "As for Ertai, I can't say for sure. As for Erkang, you'll be my brother-in-law in the future. Anyway, we're definitely going to be related to him. You can't escape it."

"So my brother is still going to marry a princess? Which one is it?"

Yongqi laughed and said, "That's all I'll say for now. You'll find out more when you encounter it! It would be no fun to tell you everything now, and you'd be upset if it's different from what I told you!"

Little Swallow was drawn to the barbecue grill by the aroma of roasted rabbit. "Yongqi, is the rabbit ready yet? It smells so good, I want to eat it right now!"

"Almost there, almost there, just a little longer and we'll be able to eat this rabbit."

After waiting a while, Yongqi handed the cooked rabbit to Xiaoyanzi and let her eat first. Xiaojian gave the rabbit to Qing'er, and the others had to fend for themselves.

After they finished dealing with the rabbits, Little Swallow was already stuffed. "What should I do? I'm so full, I don't want to move..."

Yongqi helped Xiaoyanzi to a tree and let her lean against it. "Let's sit for a while and rest for a bit before we go catch other animals!"

Although Qing'er didn't eat as much as Xiao Yanzi, she was still full and joined them. The others then gathered around them under the tree.

After they had rested, they mounted their horses again and went hunting. At dusk, when the sun was about to set, they rode back to their tents with their prey. Emperor Qianlong was already waiting for them there. "Yongqi, you're all back. How was the hunt?"
