Chapter 154 Husband, what’s wrong with you?!

Shen Congyue's eyes darkened slightly, and she lowered her eyes to glance at the clothes in her hands.

The dress was made of a texture similar to gauze, and naturally could not be compared with the brocade and satin that Shen Congyue was wearing.

If there is anything special...

Shen Congyue frowned slightly, his expression looking a little ugly.

——This dress, both in color and style, is too similar to the one Pei Jingxu is wearing today.

That bitch Pei Jingxu is clearly married, but she dresses up all day long and acts pretentiously. These chiffon clothes are just like her style, not presentable.

"Sister Bai, this dress..."

Bai Shutong curled his lips slightly and lowered his voice: "There is a scent of medicine on the clothes. You should know where the Master's tent is better than me."

Understanding Bai Shutong's meaning, Shen Congyue's cheeks became even redder: "Sister Bai, will Brother Jianxue be angry..."

"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, the matter will be settled. Given Master Shaofu's temperament, how can he allow you to be ridiculed by the world?"

Seeing that Chen Congyue was still hesitant, Bai Shutong moved his eyes and gently covered Chen Congyue's hand.

"Sister Congyue, you know that as... as Brother Xuanzhou's wife-to-be, I really want you to marry into the Rong family. Then the two of us can be companions, and it will surely be the envy of others."

Moved by Bai Shutong's words, Shen Congyue's eyes became firmer: "Don't worry, Sister Bai, both of you and I will have our wishes come true."

--

Pei Jingxu felt very comfortable being complimented by the female relatives, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Until a sharp voice sang in the distant hunting ground: "Your Majesty has arrived——"

In an instant, everyone knelt on the ground and welcomed the emperor into the enclosure.

In the south of the enclosure, the emperor was in high spirits, his voice clear and bright: "The autumn air is clear, and the golden wind brings coolness. I have come to this autumn field to see the young talents of you. You are in your prime, and I am jealous of you!"

As he spoke, the emperor said loudly, "Since that's the case, why don't I add some excitement to today's hunt?"

"Today's autumn hunt, the winner will receive a reward of ten thousand taels of gold. You can make me a request and I will grant it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up and they were eager to try!

The young talents in the hunting ground are leading their horses, and can't wait to start showing off their skills!

Rong Xuanzhou held the reins, and following him was the warhorse he had fought in for many years.

The emperor's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Rong Jianxue without haste.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The man was wearing a dark green robe with narrow sleeves tied up with wrist guards. His black hair was tied up high, neat and tidy.

Compared with those military generals and young men who have practiced martial arts for many years, this man has a more noble temperament.

"Lord Rong, are you also participating in the hunt this year? That's really rare."

Rong Jianxue nodded slightly, "It has been a long time since I last drew my bow and arrow. Your Majesty, please do not mock me."

The emperor laughed heartily: "Well, well, let me see how skilled Master Shaofu is!"

Just as he was about to announce the start of the hunt, he heard a soft and firm voice coming from not far away.

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Shutong tied up her long hair and appeared in front of the men in clean and neat clothes.

Her appearance made all the young talents present agitated.

Prince Chen Qianfan stood in the first seat, looking at Bai Shutong, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

The third prince, Shen Huaichen, also looked at Bai Shutong with interest, the emotions in his eyes were so strong that they could not be dissolved.

On his high seat, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Bai Shutong with a hint of meaning: "Madam Bai? What is the purpose of your outfit?"

Bai Shutong curled his lips slightly, clasped his fists towards the emperor on the high throne, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, throughout history, men have always hunted. Today, Shutong wants to prove to Your Majesty that women are no less capable than men!"

"Please agree to let Shutong participate in this hunt!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression unclear.

In the crowd, a slovenly young man shouted, "Madam Bai, you are a woman. You should go to the women's table and have some refreshments. Don't get involved in the affairs of us men!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shutong raised his chin towards the man, with a hint of anger and arrogance in his eyes: "How do you know I can't do it?"

The Third Prince, Shen Huaichen, then said, "Since Madam Bai has changed her clothes, she must have made sufficient preparations. It wouldn't hurt to let Madam Bai try it out."

On a high place, the emperor also smiled and said: "I heard that Madam Bai is also a good archer on the frontier. If that's the case, why not give it a try!"

Bai Shutong bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As she spoke, Bai Shutong walked over to Rong Xuanzhou and bit her lip slightly: "Brother Xuanzhou, can we... go together?"

Bai Shutong, dressed in men's clothing, looked different from her usual pure and white image. Without thinking, Rong Xuanzhou nodded, "Okay."

Bai Shutong smiled then, but his eyes passed over Rong Xuanzhou and glanced at Shen Qianfan who was not far away.

Shen Qianfan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

As the ceremonial officer announced the official start of the autumn hunt, everyone jumped on their horses and rushed into the woods like arrows!

At the women's table, Pei Jingxu looked at the backs of everyone leaving, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

The show has begun, and it's time for her to get ready.

Each man who participates in hunting is accompanied by a counting waiter. The waiter will come to the enclosure every once in a while to report on the hunting situation and let everyone know the progress of the competition.

Barely half a cup of tea had passed when a waiter came shouting, "Rong Xuanzhou, the second son of the Rong family, has hunted a wild rabbit!"

"The prince sank a thousand sails and hunted a falcon!"

"The Third Prince, Shen Huaichen, hunted two pheasants!"

"Young Master Rong Jianxue of the Rong family is killing two birds with one stone!"

“…”

Pei Jingxu listened for a while, calculated the time, and felt that it was about time.

Sure enough, not long after, a waiter came panting and reported, "Your Majesty! The Master has hunted a black bear and rescued the injured General Xuanzhou!"

Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Sure enough, the plot related to the heroine will not be affected.

Rong Xuanzhou and Bai Shutong were attacked by a black bear. Prince Chen Qianfan only rescued Bai Shutong, leaving Rong Xuanzhou alone to fight the black bear.

Rong Jianxue arrived in time, shot the black bear and saved Rong Xuanzhou.

As long as the plot remains unchanged, her plan can proceed smoothly.

Not long after, Rong Jianxue supported Rong Xuanzhou and appeared in the enclosure.

Pei Jingxu pinched the base of his thigh.

——The show begins.

"Husband!"

Pei Jingxu screamed and stumbled towards the two of them, holding up her skirt!

She was almost the first one to run to Rong Xuanzhou. She deliberately ignored Rong Jianxue beside her and grabbed Rong Xuanzhou's hand. Tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"Husband! Husband, what's wrong with you!? Husband, are you okay!?"

Pei Jingxu smelled blood.

Even though Rong Jianxue arrived in time, Rong Xuanzhou was still injured.

Pei Jingxu took advantage of others not noticing and pressed hard on the wound on his chest, crying even more sadly: "Husband! Husband, please don't scare me!"

"Um!"

After being pressed by Pei Jingxu, Rong Xuanzhou groaned in pain, his face turned even paler, and he almost fainted!

The accompanying imperial physician rushed over and helped Rong Xuanzhou walk towards the tent.

Rong Jianxue stood aside, looking down at the panicked woman in front of him, his eyes deep and unreadable.

She was crying so hard that her body was shaking and her face was pale.

She tightly grasped the corner of Rong Xuanzhou's clothes with one hand and followed the imperial doctors into the tent!

From beginning to end, I didn't look at him once.

Rong Jianxue frowned slightly and looked in the direction Pei Jingxu left, his eyes flickering.
