Chapter 62: Groundhog Screams
The man who asked the question earlier couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment.
Seeing this, a person beside him patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Although she is adopted, she has been raised in the Chengguo Mansion. She is no worse than a biological child. I heard that biological children are not as favored as her!"
Another person rolled his eyes and said unbearably: "Did I say that you are beasts? If I remember correctly, this young lady of the Chengguo Mansion has not yet reached the age of marriage, it seems that she is only thirteen, and you are obsessed with her. Are you sick in the brain?"
"Go to hell! I was just talking."
"Don't say it, it's about a woman's reputation, don't talk nonsense!"
A stern voice interrupted.
The expressions of the people who were talking straightened when they heard the voice, and they saluted: "Meet the Fifth Prince."
The person who came was the original book's male protagonist, Zhao Chengye, who Xu Muhua had been thinking about in her heart.
The hero of any book must be a stunningly handsome man, and the book that Xu Muhua read is no exception.
Zhao Chengye is a famous handsome man in the royal family and also a famous handsome man in the capital. It is said that his biological mother was sent to the palace because of her beauty, but she was too weak and could not survive in the palace. The
current emperor was also handsome when he was young, and Zhao Chengye inherited the advantages of both parents, surpassing his father. He has starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and he is majestic, like a famous sword that is about to be unsheathed.
Zhao Chengye is only eighteen years old now, and his face is still a little childish, but his eyes can't help but reveal some of the majesty of a superior, with a silent power of shock.
"You all come from noble families, so please don't do anything that would bring shame to your family!"
"Your Highness is right."
Zhao Chengye sat on his horse and looked down at them: "Get on your horses and go hunting with me!"
No one dared to say anything more, and one by one they rode on their horses and headed deep into the forest.
The direction Zhao Chengye and his friends went was the same as Xu Muhua's, but Xu Muhua and her friends were all women, and they didn't plan to go deep, so they planned to walk around the periphery to see if they could catch a rabbit or something.
"Rabbit, there's a rabbit! Over there!"
Pei Shaorong saw a rabbit with her sharp eyes, and without saying a word, she drew her bow and arrow, aimed at the rabbit, and prepared to shoot the arrow.
She looked left and right for a while, pulled the bow to the full length, and was about to let go - but who knew that at this moment, a horse came running from nowhere, and it neighed, which scared her. She subconsciously let go of her hand, and the arrow shot out!
But it was not the rabbit that was shot, but the horse!
Pei Shaorong couldn't help but scream when she saw this, and blurted out: "Be careful!"
When everyone saw the person on the horse clearly, their faces turned pale with shock!
The fifth prince!
Xu Muhua didn't know the fifth prince, but no matter who it was, if he was really shot, Pei Shaorong would suffer, so she didn't want him to get hurt.
Fortunately, the other party reacted quickly, leaned back when the arrow was shot, and dodged safely. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Pei Shaorong finally caught her breath after holding it for a long time. She patted her chest with her hand, secretly thanking herself for her average archery skills, otherwise she would have been in real trouble this time.
Seeing that the opponent's horse stopped, she hurried over, bowed in front of the opponent, and said guiltily: "I'm so sorry, I almost hurt you. I didn't mean to shoot that arrow just now, I wanted to shoot the rabbit over there..."
Zhao Chengye knew that the opponent didn't want to shoot him, but his horse suddenly got startled and rushed over here.
"I should be the one to say sorry, it's my horse that suddenly got startled and rushed over uncontrollably, disturbing a few people."
Others also walked over and saluted.
Pei Shaorong had been keeping her head down, and when she heard everyone's greetings, she looked up in surprise. Unexpectedly, she met Zhao Chengye's eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyelids again.
Xu Muhua took a breath.
The fifth prince? Isn't that the hero in the book, Arong's official partner?
Suddenly seeing the hero in the book, Xu Muhua widened her eyes and looked Zhao Chengye up and down, then quickly lowered her eyes, her heart pounding wildly, and a little man in her heart was screaming.
Ahhh! This is the hero, he is really handsome! He and Arong are a perfect match!
Oh my God, the CP she wants to ship is right in front of her! Not a paper man, but a living person!
Isn't this more exciting than seeing the celebrity couple you're obsessed with?
If Xu Muhua hadn't had good self-control, she really couldn't help but stare at the two of them right now!
Although she lowered her head, it didn't stop her from fantasizing in her heart!
After the excitement, she calmed down a little, and remembered the things in the book, and was stunned for a moment.
Hey, in the book, didn't the hero and the heroine meet for the first time in the Autumn Hunting Paddock? Didn't they first meet when Arong was fifteen years old? How come it was earlier?
Could it be because of the effect brought about by her little butterfly?
Xu Muhua refused to admit it!
She didn't do anything!
Besides, in the book, at this point in time, the story hasn't started yet!
She won't take the blame for this!
She once again suspected that she was wearing a fake book!
She was so focused on the book that she didn't even hear what other people were saying until Pei Shaorong walked in front of her, looked at her with some concern, and asked in a low voice: "Muhua, are you scared? It's okay, the Fifth Prince didn't blame me, and he didn't blame you either, don't think too much about it."
Xu Muhua came to her senses and looked - huh? Where is the Fifth Prince?
She looked around, Pei Shaorong seemed to see what she was thinking, and smiled, "The Fifth Prince has left. They went into the forest, so we won't go in, for fear of danger."
Xu Muhua quickly looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and asked, "Arong, what do you think of the Fifth Prince?"
Pei Shaorong looked at her in surprise, not knowing what he was thinking of, frowned, and was a little worried, "Muhua, could it be that... could it be that you have taken a fancy to the Fifth Prince?"
This is not a good thing. Even she has heard that the Fifth Prince is the strongest contender for the position of Crown Prince and the one with the greatest chance of winning. If Mu Hua falls for the Fifth Prince, then...
Xu Mu Hua was so scared that her eyes widened and her head shook as if it was about to fall off. "No, no! Absolutely not, I just want to ask your opinion!"
As a supporting actress, she falls for the hero? That's courting death!
The hero belongs to the heroine, whoever competes with the heroine is finished! This is the law of death in every book!
