Chapter 115 Qiu Mi

Inside the prince's tent.

Crown Princess Luo Muxue looked at Crown Prince Rong Jinyou with a cold expression, and she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, it's my fault today. I couldn't stop the eldest princess." She stepped forward and tried to hold his arm.

He glanced at her indifferently and said, "Crown Princess, I know you have a problem with my sister-in-law, and I just want to teach the eldest princess a lesson, but you are my sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law, I hope you remember." She couldn't even tolerate a little girl. When did his Crown Princess become so petty?

When the Crown Princess saw him turn around and leave the tent, only her trusted palace maid was left around. Her trusted palace maid was named Qiuxia. When she saw that there was no one else in the tent, she began to speak up for the Crown Princess again.

"Your Highness, how could His Highness think of you like this? You can't control the eldest princess's temper. You feel really wronged." The Crown Princess looked at Qiuxia, lowered her eyelashes and said nothing.

Can't you stop it?

Worthy of being my pillow partner.

Oh.

Inside the tent of Princess Jin.

Prince Jin Rong Jinyu looked at his younger sister Rong Ruoxue, who was crying all the time and whose face was swollen like a pig's head. Then he looked at Princess Jin Ma Miaoying who was standing next to him. He was so angry that he crossed his legs.

I'm so mad at him, why are all his teammates stupid?

Thinking of Su Zhenzhen who had repeatedly and inadvertently held him back, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. She was so hateful, why did he still think Su Zhenzhen was lively and cute?

Then he thought of Su Yiyi, the concubine who was resting in the Prince Jin's mansion, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. If Su Yiyi and Su Zhenzhen were switched, he wouldn't know how happy he would be now!

His beautiful fantasy was shattered. Listening to the noisy crying beside his ears, he said angrily: "Shut up, isn't it embarrassing enough? Why did you provoke the Princess of Yan? Don't you have any idea whether you are favored or not?"

The eldest princess Rong Ruoxue cried even more sadly, "Wuwuwu... Royal brother, you are like this too..." Rong Jinyu became even more annoyed, "So noisy, no wonder father doesn't like you." After saying that, he went out.

Princess Jin was troubled by her domineering sister-in-law and could only comfort her: "Xue'er, don't cry, the ointment will be washed off soon." The eldest princess Rong Ruoxue stopped awkwardly.

But he kept Su Zhenzhen in mind.

The next day, the autumn wind blew and the geese flew south.

Before the hunting officially began, two rows of sixty large drums were set up in the southeast and southwest directions. His Majesty led the troops into the venue one by one, with the sound of gongs and drums deafening.

This was Su Zhenzhen's first time attending, as she'd been lazy and reluctant to move, and she'd been worried about being ambushed. Who knew her status as the eldest daughter of a Grand Secretary and Minister of Revenue was such a hot commodity?

Therefore, Su Zhenzhen's refusal to participate in the hunting was also a tacit understanding between the king and his minister.

Today Su Zhenzhen is in a group with the fifth princess Rong Ruoyan. Her hand, which was not swollen to begin with, was applied ointment twice by Rong Jinchen yesterday, and nothing happened.

Su Zhenzhen was wearing a bright red riding suit, with black hair and fair skin. She wore a red coral and gold silk hairpin on her forehead. Her silky smooth hair was fixed with only three or two small silver hairpins. She looked simple and elegant, yet bright and gorgeous.

The fifth princess Rong Ruoyan looked at Su Zhenzhen in amazement, "Fourth sister-in-law, your Huasheng is so beautiful!" It was so exquisite that she wanted to buy the same one.

Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I'll have someone send you one later. This is from my own shop." The style that Luo Zhihan had researched was quite nice.

The fifth princess Rong Ruoyan smiled sweetly, "Okay, thank you, fourth sister-in-law." Then she hesitated and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I didn't mean to not help you yesterday." She was not favored and was afraid of being retaliated by her eldest sister. What's more, her eldest sister's mother was a noble concubine who controlled half of the power in the harem. Her mother was not favored and she could not afford to offend her.

Su Zhenzhen didn't care. Just like she realized yesterday that the Crown Princess was adding fuel to the fire, wanting to use her to discipline her displeased sister-in-law. Thinking deeper, they were not sisters-in-law to begin with, and she couldn't expect the Crown Princess to protect her desperately. Besides, Su Zhenzhen felt that the Crown Princess was a little resentful of her. This was normal. Who doesn't have some little thoughts?

To her, they are actually outsiders, so she doesn't care much. In the final analysis, she is just cold-hearted and selfish.

So Su Zhenzhen said casually: "I understand, I won't blame you, don't worry." She is not Rong Ruoyan, and nothing will happen if she doesn't regard herself as the center of the world.

At this time, the gongs and drums stopped beating. His Majesty Rong Yue, dressed in a black gold uniform, rode on a Ferghana horse and shot the first arrow with a crossbow in hand. The arrow hit the eye of a fat and domesticated wild beast that had been released by the hunting officer in charge of the mountains, forests and gardens in Nanyuan. The arrow went through the eye and the beast fell to the ground.

Everyone said: "Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!"

Rong Yue pursed his lips. This damn sense of ritual!

He didn't want to shoot this unchallenging, docile beast. Rong Yue wanted to fight tigers and hunt bears!

After another routine opening speech, everyone formed their own teams and left.

Rong Yue couldn't help but ride his horse into the mountains under the protection of a group of Jinyiwei. He had been itching to do something for a long time.

He spent the whole day in the palace reviewing memorials that he could never finish.

After Rong Jinchen explained everything to Su Zhenzhen in detail, he left reluctantly amid her sweet words and flattery.

Su Zhenzhen finally got rid of him by using the excuse that she wanted him to hunt the fox fur cloak himself (plot requirement, wildlife protection in real life), then turned to look at the fifth princess Rong Ruoyan, and then looked at Xu Siyu who had reunited with her.

She smiled and said, "Let's go too. Father said the women's group will have a prize as well." She was now very calm in the face of other people's teasing looks. After all, she was married, so why should she be shy?

Xu Siyu and Rong Ruoyan were not disappointed when they couldn't tease Su Zhenzhen. They smiled and rode away with her.

Gu Cheng and Bai Zhiluowu followed them on horseback, along with a group of Jinyiwei. Gu Heng followed Rong Jinchen.

Crown Prince Rong Jinyou had made a bet with Prince Jin Rong Jinyu, so he put in all his energy today.

They all disdain to resort to cheating, and the men of the Rong family are proud.

As the sun gradually moved overhead, towering ancient trees flanked the trees, and the deep forest was filled with silence, Rong Jinyou licked his dry lips and said, "Let's rest first." He then dismounted.

The group had already reached a relatively deep area. For fear of causing unnecessary trouble, they did not light a fire to cook, but instead ate dry food and cakes with their water bags. After resting for a quarter of an hour, they immediately got on their horses and continued hunting.

At this time, an official from the Eastern Palace said to Rong Jinyou: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, why did you agree to the request of Prince Jin?" Prince Jin was proficient in riding and shooting, but Your Highness the Crown Prince was not as good as him.

Rong Jinyou smiled and whispered: "I am not that kind of coward who lacks tolerance for others. I can afford to lose, but I cannot surrender without a fight." He knew very well that human energy is limited, and there are always people better than you.

The person in power doesn't have to be the best at everything, he just needs to know how to use people.

While chatting and laughing, he shot another deer in the distance. When he was about to send someone to retrieve the prey, he saw a group of people looming in the dense jungle not far away.

The man's eyes darkened and he became subconsciously alert, but soon he realized that it was Prince Jin Rong Jinyu and his entourage.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence." Rong Jinyu's smile was suave and meaningful.

Rong Jinyou pursed his lips and retracted the arrow from the crossbow, "What a coincidence." They met in such a big Nanyuan.

Rong Jinyu said nonchalantly, "Our Crown Prince is quite skilled. I think he should be able to win our bet, right?"
