Emperor Kangxi thought Harigana was really cute, but he felt very sorry for her because he hadn't taken her hunting.

If you take this with you and it gets injured, wouldn't you be even more heartbroken?

What's there to feel sorry for about a beast?

She really is a young woman, with a very soft heart.

"Alright, Jiaojiao, Xiao Li won't let your horse get hurt, don't worry."

I couldn't stand it, and I even felt a little jealous.

After saying that, he picked her up and slowly walked into the woods.

The forest looks very dense from the outside, but once you come in, you'll find that it's actually quite sparse; it's just that the branches grow very long.

"Xuan Ye, were the prey released here beforehand?"

I once read in unofficial historical records that emperors were afraid of death, so even when they went hunting, they would release tamed wild animals into the hunt.

He reached out and broke off a tree branch, using it as a baton. He would point to whichever direction he wanted to go, and Kangxi would immediately ride in that direction.

"No! Soldiers will just be here to patrol and drive away the wild beasts, leaving only those that are not likely to harm people."

What Kangxi didn't say was that otherwise, how could he have let Yinqi and the others come in to hunt without worry? It was because there was no danger here.

Moreover, he has guards and attendants around him, so he won't get hurt.

"That's good!"

We walked and stopped frequently, shooting a few rabbits, pheasants, and a silly roe deer along the way.

Every time I see a Siberian roe deer, Harigana can't help but laugh. The little white hearts on its butts are so cute!

"Jiaojiao, would you like to give it a try?"

Emperor Kangxi was afraid she would be bored.

"No, I'll just watch."

This must be very heavy; I can't lift it.

Besides, I enjoy watching you shoot arrows. Not only am I inaccurate, but I also waste time and arrows—it's not worth it."

Harigana was simply used to praising Emperor Kangxi, and she genuinely disliked him.

But Kangxi interpreted it differently. In the following days, not only were there birds running on the ground, but there were also several swallows and other unidentified birds.

At first, Harigana thought that Kangxi liked her, but later she found out that he would deliberately try to get her attention every time he shot an arrow.

"Xuan Ye, are you tired?"

She heard Kangxi speak; he didn't care about what was shot, he only cared about the quantity.

If he continues shooting, he'll be the one winning the grand prize that night.

"Not tired!"

He was genuinely not tired; the adoration in her eyes relieved his fatigue better than any magic pill.

"Xuan Ye, turn me around while holding me."

It's too tiring to talk with your neck twisted; it's better to talk face-to-face.

Upon hearing this, Kangxi threw the bow and arrow in his hand to Li Dequan behind him, grabbed her waist, and flipped her over.

Harigana hugged his waist and looked up at him: "Xuan Ye, let's just stroll around for a while. If we run into anything, I'll let you do it, okay?"

The two were wearing the same color clothes today, and if they hadn't gotten closer, you wouldn't have been able to tell they were two different people.

Li Dequan and Du Lan rode their horses behind them. Seeing the two of them starting to act all lovey-dovey again, they immediately spurred their horses and took a few steps back.

Heaven knows what their good emperor will do in a moment; he's done this kind of thing many times before.

"Okay, I'll listen to Jiaojiao."

I know there's a small hill not far from here, shall we climb up and take a look?

Kangxi thought that Harigana was worried that he would get tired, and immediately forgot his idea of ​​showing off.

"Okay! Let's go take a look." After saying that, she tightened her grip on his arm, the meaning of which was self-evident; she wanted to carry him there like that.

Holding the person in his arms with one hand, he slowly walked over, grasping the reins with the other.

On the other side of the forest, Yinreng and Yinti faced off.

Yinti was skilled in riding and archery. He chased a deer for a long time, but Yinreng shot him with a hidden arrow and killed him.

There's an unwritten rule among them: you can't shoot prey if someone is watching it.

But now Yinreng insists that he did not see Yinti, and even says that Yinti wanted to steal his things.

Yinti had a short temper to begin with, and the two of them started arguing.

Just as a fight was about to break out, and even the eunuchs couldn't stop it, the Empress Dowager arrived.

Just then, he overheard: "Yinti, I am the Crown Prince. So what if I took you?"

"presumptuous!"

No one expected the Empress Dowager to appear. A hint of unease flashed across Yinreng's face, but it was only for a moment.

Yinti dared not act rashly. With his elders present, even if he was in the right, he could not interrupt them.

"Grandson greets His Majesty the Empress."

He immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

A look of disdain flashed in Yinreng's eyes. He slowly bowed but did not kneel down like Yinti.

The Empress Dowager didn't care about any of this, especially the Crown Prince. His good days were coming to an end, yet he still didn't repent. There was no need to argue with such a person.

"stand up!"

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she waved her hand behind her and said, "Someone, take this beast away from me."

Since we can't tell whose it is, I'll take the liberty of eating it tonight.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Yinti's eyes, but Yinreng was unwilling.

However, he was simply unwilling. With so many servants around, even if he were the crown prince, he couldn't possibly compete with the empress dowager for something.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything more. After the others had carried the things away, she rode off on her horse.

"snort!"

Yinreng gave Yinti a light snort, then mounted his white horse and led his guards away in the opposite direction from the Empress Dowager.

"Your Highness!"

"It's alright, let's go, let's continue!"

Riding a horse, humming a song, I wandered aimlessly.

Just now it seemed like no one gained anything, but those few words made him look like a pitiful little thing in front of his father, the Emperor.

In the end, he won.

"Why!"

After feeling smug for a while, he sighed and said, "Why is my second brother getting more and more outrageous? He used to be such a good person, but now he's become so unrecognizable that he doesn't even recognize me anymore."

None of the eunuchs dared to speak, and Yinti was just talking. Upon seeing a wild goat, he immediately forgot his troubles and rode after it on horseback.

When the guards reported what had happened to Kangxi, the two of them were already standing on the hillside.

Harigana heard every word, but this time she wasn't going to say anything. She had already laid enough traps, and saying anything more would only backfire.

This would not only arouse Kangxi's suspicion, but might even expose his true intentions.

"I understand!"

Kangxi waved his hand, and the secret guards disappeared immediately.

"Jiaojiao, why aren't you saying anything?"

Harigana glanced at him and threw down the branch in his hand: "What did I say? What's there to say? You think you can make a big deal out of a children's squabble?"

Kangxi shook his head, knowing she was heartless.

"Jiaojiao, you!"

He pinched her cheeks, then picked her up and said, "I'll raise the two children myself. They've become little fools with you."

Harigana was startled by his actions, grabbed his neck and pulled his braid with a defiant look: "Fine, so you're starting to dislike me now? Tell me, do you dislike me?"
