Chapter 103: Autumn Hunting Half a Month Later
On the other side of the Grand Prince's Palace.
Liao Changning has been busy all day and now he finally has some free time.
She found a pavilion, looked at the tranquil lake in front of her, and ate the pastries on the plate.
At this moment, she heard faint footsteps behind her.
Liao Changning turned around and found that the person who came was Lou Changqing.
She couldn't help thinking of the news she heard this afternoon.
General Lou seems to like her...
Thinking of this, Liao Changning couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
When Lou Changqing saw her, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Today is the eldest prince's wedding banquet, and Liao Changning has been busy following behind Feng Xici.
Until now, he had no chance to speak to her.
Lou Changqing bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Liao."
Liao Changning also bowed slightly.
"Greetings to General Lou."
The moon was shining brightly in the sky, and its white light fell on the two of them.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion. Lou Changqing looked at her extremely beautiful face under the moonlight, and his heart was throbbing to the peak.
He pursed his lips, his ears reddened as he said, "Miss Liao, I have always been..."
Liao Changning raised his eyes to look at him and interrupted him.
She stood up and bowed towards Changqing.
"General Lou. Right now I just want to follow Sister Feng and learn medicine first. I don't want to consider other things for the time being."
Lou Changqing heard this and slowly closed his lips.
He lowered his eyes slightly and smiled bitterly.
This is a polite refusal.
Liao Changning doesn't like him...
Fortunately, she interrupted it in time, allowing both of them to be more respectable.
The two were not far away.
Shangguan Sui hid secretly behind a big rock and witnessed the whole process.
Seeing Lou Changqing's lonely back as he left, I couldn't help but sigh softly.
[Alas, my uncle’s confession failed~]
[It seems like this couple I’m supporting is unlikely to succeed…]
"Changqing is really something. Why didn't he think of giving Miss Liao something?"
Shangguan Sui was startled by the sudden sound behind him.
She immediately turned around and found that it was Concubine Chen!
Shangguan Sui's eyes widened, "Mom, why are you peeking too?!"
The concubine touched her nose.
Isn't that because she cares too much about evergreen?
But the Concubine Chen certainly couldn't say that.
The Concubine Chen cleared her throat and said softly, "Mother is worried about you. It's almost time. We should go back to the palace."
Shangguan Sui raised his head, blinked and asked, "Really?"
Concubine Chen nodded, "Of course."
[I don’t believe it.]
Princess Chen: ...
Sometimes it’s not good for children to be too smart.
Late at night, in the Ministry of Justice prison.
Xiao Yun was imprisoned in the innermost cell of the Ministry of Justice.
She wondered when Shangguan Sui would come to rescue her.
Shangguan Huai is now Shangguan Sui’s third brother. It will definitely be easier for her to get close to Shangguan Huai then!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound coming from the cell.
When she lowered her head, she was met with a pair of murky venomous snake eyes!
The venomous snake spit out its scarlet tongue, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced straight towards Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun is dead.
She never knew who killed her until her death.
Time flies, two years later.
"Fifth Princess, this is for you." Xiao Ziyuan called out.
He is nine years old this year and has grown taller.
The childishness in his facial features gradually faded, and a hint of coldness and indifference appeared between his brows.
He was wearing a brocade green robe and had a dignified posture, looking like a handsome young man.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl in front of him turned around.
Shangguan Sui tilted his head and blinked at him, with the small pear-shaped wrinkles on his cheeks slightly exposed.
Shangguan Sui is already five years old this year.
She was wearing a bright red silk dress, which made her skin look white and her eyes and eyebrows were like stars.
The whole person is as delicate and lovely as a piece of jade.
Xiao Ziyuan walked towards Shangguan Sui and handed the box in his hand to her.
【Hey, what is this? 】
Shangguan Sui took it, opened it, and found a very delicate osmanthus cake inside.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing that she liked it, Xiao Ziyuan's stern eyes also showed a faint smile.
"This pastry shop just opened in Beijing. See if you like it. If you like it, I'll bring it to you in the future."
Shangguan Sui nodded and was about to pick up a piece to taste.
At this moment, the voice of Eunuch Chen was heard behind her.
"Fifth Princess, the Emperor is waiting for you in the Bihua Palace. He said he has something important to tell you."
Shangguan Sui blinked and asked in a sweet voice, "Important things? What important things?"
Eunuch Chen shook his head.
"I don't know about this. The emperor only told you to return to Bihua Palace as soon as possible."
Shangguan Sui nodded helplessly, "Okay then, I understand."
She turned and waved to Xiao Ziyuan, "Then I'll leave first."
[Let me go see what this old man my dad wants to talk to me about? ]
Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Old boy...hahahahehe.
I'm afraid only the fifth princess dares to call the emperor like that.
At this time, Bihua Palace.
"Old boy" Shangguan Lin was drinking tea slowly.
He saw the little ball bouncing towards him.
Shangguan Lin immediately put down the teacup in her hand and smiled.
"Sui Sun has finished school."
Shangguan Sui nodded and sat directly on the chair next to Shangguan Lin.
Blinking, he asked, "Daddy, what do you want to tell me?"
Shangguan Lin's voice was neither hurried nor slow.
"Of course it's about the autumn hunting event in half a month."
Shangguan Sui pursed his lips when he heard this.
[Ah, so that's it. I knew about this a long time ago.]
[Eunuch Chen came to see me in such a hurry, I thought it was some big deal, but this is it? ]
Shangguan Lin heard what was going on and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Humph, if he hadn’t said that, there’s no telling how long Suishun would have to talk to that brat Xiao Ziyuan!
Shangguan Lin cleared his throat lightly, trying to defend himself.
"I have already confirmed the list of candidates who will follow me to the Autumn Examination."
Shangguan Sui frowned slightly, "Who's going?"
Shangguan Lin picked up the tea and took a sip. "You and Concubine Chen must go, as well as the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and Concubine De."
"Oh, and the Queen Mother. She has been in good health in the past two years. She also wants to see the beautiful scenery of Linshan."
Shangguan Sui frowned slightly, "Then Brother and Sister Feng aren't going?"
Shangguan Lin shook his head.
"Your elder brother stayed in the capital to supervise the country, and your elder sister Feng is pregnant and is nursing the baby in the mansion."
Shangguan Sui couldn't help but widen his eyes.
[Ah! Sister Feng is pregnant! No wonder I haven't seen her in the past half month.]
Shangguan Sui rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, why don't you take Xiao Ziyuan with you as well?"
[Hehe, now I have one more person to play with me! ]
Shangguan Lin immediately wanted to refuse out loud.
He is very annoyed with that kid Xiao Ziyuan now!
But looking at Suishun's happy little face, Shangguan Lin sighed helplessly.
"Okay, okay, since Shunshun has asked, let's take him along."
The time for autumn hunting is coming soon.
The royal team set out from the capital in a mighty procession, heading for the hunting forests and mountains.
The team quickly left the capital and headed for the outskirts of the city.
Shangguan Sui sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and soon she saw a very familiar figure.
