Chapter 908 Hunting (1)

The weather on the second day of June was beautiful. It had been drizzling the day before, but the sun was shining brightly the next day. The mountains were muddy, but the weather had been like this recently.

Luo Tan stretched himself. There was enough ice in the room, so even though the summer days in Longye were long and hot, the room was still dry and cool.

The maid in the room asked her with a smile, "Where would you like to go today, young lady?"

Luo Tan looked at the mountain of small things in the room and said, "I don't know. I'll ask Doctor Gao later."

"Master Gao has gone out today and won't be back until tomorrow night." The maid said, "Let me inform the young lady. If she wants to go out, please call a few guards from the mansion. I will go with her and buy anything she likes."

"What's up?" Luo Tan asked, "Are there any patients you need to see?"

The maid smiled but did not answer.

Luo Tan waved his hand and said, "In that case, I'll just wander around casually."

She had been in Longye for almost a month, and for the entire time, she had been with Gao Yang. Gao Yang himself said that medical practitioners knew no borders. He had traveled extensively in his youth and had also settled in Longye for a period. He considered the entire Longye mansion his own. Luo Tan found this statement somewhat strange, but since everyone in the mansion shared the same sentiment, she no longer harbored any suspicions.

Gao Yang had sent the messenger back to Shen Miao, saying that Shen Miao had agreed to bring Luo Tan along and would take good care of him. It was unknown how Gao Yang had lied, but after that, no one from the Shen family came over.

The Shen family was now out of the picture, and Luo Tan was calculating. After a while, she would explore Longye thoroughly and then go find Shen Miao and tell her everything clearly. If she told her now, she was afraid that Shen Miao and Prince Rui would send someone to send her back. She hadn't had enough fun yet, so how could she go back now?

Luo Tan walked out of the door and into the courtyard. He heard some noisy sounds coming from the street across the courtyard wall. He asked the maid beside him, "What's going on outside?"

The maid smiled and said, "Today is the royal hunting day, coinciding with the sixtieth anniversary celebration. His Majesty will also go hunting in person in the inner field of the hunting grounds. The guards are following and the people on the street are cheering."

Luo Tan liked to join in the fun, so he said, "Then let's go and take a look. Can we see His Majesty's face?"

The maid's expression changed slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "The streets are crowded, and His Majesty is in the canopy, so he can't see."

Luo Tan was a little uninterested, and the maid smiled and said, "I will go prepare some snacks for the journey. After this moment, wherever the lady wants to go, I will accompany you."

"You go ahead," Luo Tan said. After the maid left, Luo Tan sneaked towards the backyard door, whispering, "If you don't go out, it's not too much to take a look from a distance."

Her figure quickly disappeared from the yard.

…

After Shen Miao finished washing up, she saw Xie Jingxing coming out after changing his clothes.

Because he was going hunting today, he also wore riding clothes suitable for hunting. Narrow sleeves, high collar, belt at the waist, and dark embroidered patterns on the green boots. He looked very neat and refreshing, but because the riding clothes were made to fit him perfectly, he looked like a reserved and elegant young man from a noble family.

Seeing Shen Miao, Xie Jingxing frowned and said, “This dress…”

After all, this was a hunting ground, and it was a scorching summer day. Jingzhe feared that Shen Miao might faint from the heat, so he specially found refreshing clothing for her. Underneath the skirt were silk trousers, wide and airy at the cuffs. Above, the top was a thin layer of gauze, with only the chest area being a solid tube top. The lavender color resembled a layer of mist. Shen Miao, normally a demure person, had a subtle allure about her with this attire, imbued with an indescribable charm.
