Chapter 517 Accidental Entry
"But Sister Xiao got two at once, and I haven't!" The Sixth Princess looked at her enviously as she killed two birds with one stone and said, "No, I have to try it too."
Not far away, Du Ting, who had just shot a hare, had no time to be happy. Looking at this scene from afar, the joy in her heart disappeared completely. She clenched her calves and headed in the other direction. No matter what, she would win!
Du Ting didn’t feel warm at all in the warm winter sun. Anyway, she wanted to win!
Du Ting rode and shot arrows all the way. Her archery skills were not bad. She won the first place last year. This year, she will definitely be the same!
One, two...seven.
Du Ting was particularly happy when he saw the full bag of prey.
"Miss Du, your archery skills are quite good." Princess Mu Xi looked at the tags on her body. Each one was unique, and they looked like they were all strung together. She said, "So you have seven prey?"
"Princess Mu Xi has quite a few too." Du Ting glanced at the badge on her waist. She actually had one more than her?
"There are only eight of us, and only half the time has passed." Princess Mu Xi looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "Miss Du, how about we work together?"
Du Ting pursed his lips and said nothing.
Princess Mu Xi smiled and said, "As for me, I just want to win. If I win, we'll each get half of the silver, 500 taels each."
"Princess Mu Xi, do you have no confidence in yourself? It's still early." Du Ting just spoke up to help Mu Xi, but that doesn't mean she has to cooperate with Princess Mu Xi.
Mu Xi won, and the fame was hers. Did she do it just to earn five hundred taels?
Does she, Du Ting, look like someone who is so short of money?
Du Ting felt that Princess Mu Xi looked down upon her. She gritted her teeth and thought that when she won, she would definitely earn Mu Xi's five hundred taels of silver.
Du Ting just ate a few bites of lunch and started looking for prey in the forest.
“It smells so good.”
Elsewhere, Xiao Jiuyue and the Sixth Princess saw that it was already noon and they were hungry, so they started roasting a rabbit. After all, they could just take the rabbit head back and they wouldn't have to worry about it not being acknowledged.
Besides, the sign hanging around her waist shows how much she has won.
"It's cooked." Xiao Jiuyue gave half to the Sixth Princess and said, "Your Highness roasted the rabbit. It's really good."
"Sister Xiao, please don't laugh at me!" The Sixth Princess thought her baking was pretty good before, but now when compared with Xiao Jiuyue, there is a world of difference.
She not only brought chili powder, but also some cumin powder, salt and oil. After brushing them on, the roasted wild rabbit turned out to be so delicious.
"How many did Mu Xi and Du Ting hunt?" The Sixth Princess asked curiously as she took big bites of the roasted rabbit. "I was lucky. I got ten. I thought that was pretty good, but now it seems Sister Xiao is even better!"
The Sixth Princess was shocked at first, then wanted to catch up, but now, she doesn’t want to catch up anymore!
She thought she was lucky, but compared to Xiao Jiuyue, it was far worse!
Xiao Jiuyue's archery accuracy is very good, and she often kills two birds with one stone. Now, her accuracy is twice as much as hers!
"Luck." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. She often went to the back mountain to hunt. The prey in the back mountain was completely different from that in the forest. There were so many prey here, so it was more convenient to hunt.
In just over an hour, Xiao Jiuyue was already twenty years old, and the badges around his waist were all hung together like a string.
However, if she wants to beat Mu Xi and Du Ting, she has to keep working hard after she finishes eating.
Xiao Jiuyue looked around. She and the Sixth Princess had been very close to each other the whole morning, and she had no idea where the place Jun Lie was talking about was.
"Sister Xiao, are you looking for them? I bet they're reluctant to give up their time to eat." The Sixth Princess didn't care about her image anymore. She grabbed the rabbit leg and bit into it, her lips shiny with oil. She said, "After I finish eating, I have to go search the south!"
Although the Sixth Princess has given up the chance to win, she can still try hard to defeat Du Ting and Princess Mu Xi!
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue quickly finished his lunch, took a big sip of water, and said, "Let's just go south like this. Will we run into the Emperor and his men?"
"No." The Sixth Princess shook her head firmly and said, "The hunting grounds in the south are close to the mountains. Even if my father went hunting, he would go towards the mountains, not to the south."
"Who is it?" Du Ting had just harvested her twelfth prey when she saw a horse coming from the front. Du Ting was startled and she immediately shouted.
"Du Ting?"
The second prince rode closer and when he saw Du Ting, he muttered to himself, "Have I accidentally entered the hunting ground in the south?" The way he muttered to himself made it seem as if he had walked into the wrong place.
"Miss Du, your sixth sister is young, can she join the hunt?" The second prince asked casually.
Du Ting replied: "Yes, and Princess Mu Xi as well."
"Oh?" The Second Prince raised his eyebrows. "Who else?"
"And Miss Xiao." Du Ting keenly noticed that when she mentioned Miss Xiao, the Second Prince's eyes brightened a little. She said, "Only the four of us will participate in this hunt together."
"Oh? Are you guys going to compete?" The Second Prince said immediately, "Sixth sister has been in poor health and happened to come here by mistake. I'll go see her."
"Do you know where the sixth sister is?" asked the second prince.
Du Ting was silent for a while before he said, "We separated as soon as we entered the forest. The Sixth Princess should be with Miss Xiao."
"Lead the way." said the second prince.
Du Ting hesitated, and the Second Prince said, "I'll help you hunt rabbits later, it's yours."
"Second Prince, isn't this inappropriate?" Du Ting's heart was filled with joy, but he said hesitantly, "After all, this is the hunting ground in the south."
"I came in by accident. If you run into anyone, Miss Du, you don't have to tell them that you were with me. I guarantee it won't affect your reputation." The second prince said with assurance.
Du Ting was delighted. Seeing that the Second Prince kept a distance from her, she gave some of the arrows in the quiver to the Second Prince. Soon, the Second Prince helped her hunt several pheasants!
"Second Prince, Miss Xiao and the Sixth Princess have a very good relationship. Miss Xiao is so beautiful that any woman would be delighted to see her." Du Ting deliberately changed the subject to Xiao Jiuyue. She said, "When I ran into Miss Xiao earlier, she actually fell off her horse!"
"What? Is she hurt?" The second prince had never been restrained, and when he heard Du Ting's words, his expression suddenly changed, and he could not hide his concern at all.
Du Ting's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood what was going on. She quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it was just a little bit, but you didn't fall."
"She is a delicate girl. She can just watch when she does hunting." The second prince felt reluctant when he thought of Xiao Jiuyue's delicate hands shooting arrows.
Her beautiful hands should be held by him!
