The emperor's birthday was extremely lively.
The other two countries also sent envoys to celebrate the birthday.
After a brief greeting, the hunt officially began.
Many young talents from the official family were ready to go, including Chu Junyao. It was obvious that they all attached great importance to this hunt.
The hunting activities held by the royal family were also a way to select talents, because during the hunting activities one could clearly see how good the young men were at riding, shooting and martial arts.
In addition, as the emperor's sons, the princes were eager to try with their bows and arrows, all thinking about how to hunt more prey and show themselves in front of the emperor.
Xiao Jingwen is extremely low-key and doesn't make any big promises.
He just looked at Yan Xi, who was secretly stuffing snacks into his mouth from time to time at the banquet, with a gloomy expression.
Liu Ye, who was standing by, noticed his gaze and whispered to Yan Xi, who was still eating, "Young Master, His Majesty the Ninth Prince is looking at you."
Yan Xi puffed up his cheeks, blinked, swallowed the food in his mouth, tilted his head to look over, and met Xiao Jingwen's eyes.
When Xiao Jingwen saw him looking at him, his eyes flashed and he quickly looked away.
“???” Yan Xi was confused. What? The male lead was becoming more and more weird.
Yan Xi stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth in frustration, thinking about the male protagonist's upcoming encounter with a black bear, and felt inexplicably worried.
The male lead is so nice to him... How about a reminder?
Yan Xi nodded in self-assurance, stood up and walked to his side, looking up at him, "Um... Your Highness, be careful and don't get hurt."
Xiao Jingwen didn't expect him to come and remind him. His heart felt sweet as if it were smeared with honey. "Okay."
Yan Xi's eyes turned, and he moved a little closer, stuffed two bags of things into his hands, and whispered: "If you encounter a ferocious beast and can't defeat it, use this."
After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat without waiting for Xiao Jingwen to respond.
Little did he know that Xiao Jingwen's heart was already in turmoil.
He held the packet of powder and stared at the unaware person.
Why did Yan Xi say that? Did he know that he would encounter a black bear today?
But how did he know? Could it be that... Yan Xi was also reborn?
No, impossible!
If he were reborn, he would definitely not remind himself.
He must be hoping that he can't get out so that he can be with Murong Xing peacefully.
Yan Xi said this only because she was worried about him.
Yes, that must be it.
Xiao Jingwen suppressed the panic in his heart and forced himself not to think of the worst.
At the same time, the emperor on the throne gave an order, and the young talents participating in the hunting expedition set off in unison.
The hunting ground outside the palace is a large mountain forest with complex terrain and many rare and exotic animals. If you are lucky, you can hunt a black bear.
As soon as they left, there were only a few men left at the banquet, and Yan Xi was one of them.
He looked calmly towards where the Prime Minister's family was.
As expected, Murong Xing was not there.
Yan Xi drank some water, clapped his hands, and tugged at Liu Ye's clothes beside him. "I'm going to the toilet. You wait here for me."
Willow nodded.
Yan Xi walked a distance away, took out something from his sleeve, and chuckled, "Advanced version of muscle softening powder, guaranteed to bring down any tiger or black bear."
…
According to the memory of the previous life, Yan Xi came to the place where the heroine was lost, and saw Murong Xing in a light blue dress at a glance.
Yan Xi trotted over and called her, "Sister Xing'er!"
As soon as these words came out, the girl with her back to him suddenly turned around, and seeing him, she smiled happily and hurried forward, "Yan Xi, why are you here?"
Yan Xi gasped for breath, her face pale from running. "I'm here to find you. Come with me quickly. This is a hunting ground, it's very dangerous!"
Seeing this, Murong Xing frowned slightly, a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes, "Okay, I'll go with you, but you have to go slowly, don't run anymore, you're weak and can't do strenuous exercise."
Yan Xi was not surprised by her concern, and was even a little happy. Hehe, whether in the previous life or now, the heroine took good care of him.
Having said that, Yan Xi didn't dare to walk too slowly. He almost walked quickly, leading the way in front, and Murong Xing followed. Only after they had completely left that place did Yan Xi feel relieved and slow down.
Just when he thought he was out of danger, the powerful plot master started to make trouble.
Suddenly there was a movement in the jungle, and a rabbit jumped out quickly and ran towards Yan Xi. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot over.
"Yanxi, be careful!"
Before Yan Xi could raise his head, his body was pushed violently. With a "puff", Murong Xing, who was standing in front of him, groaned in pain.
Yan Xi was shocked and hugged her tightly.
The arrow pierced Murong Xing's chest and blood gushed out.
"Sister Xing'er! How are you?!"
Murong Xing covered his chest, sweating profusely, "I'm fine, don't worry."
As she spoke, she looked towards the man who was riding towards her on horseback.
He was a young man about the same age as Yan Xi.
Yan Xi recognized him. This man was the prime minister's legitimate son Murong Yuan, who and his legitimate sister often bullied Murong Xing.
Murong Yuan saw Murong Xing and smiled ostentatiously, "Oh, it's Fifth Sister. I'm so sorry I shot you."
Yan Xi said with a cold face, "Master Murong, she is your biological sister. Is it appropriate for you to smile like this?"
Murong Yuan looked at him with disdain, "So it's the Second Young Master Chu, tsk, who do you think you are? You're a sickly wretch, yet you dare to imitate others and stand up for a beauty? She's a jinx. I advise you to stay away from Murong Xing, or you might die before you're twenty."
"You..." Yan Xi's face darkened and he was about to retort.
Murong Xing's eyes darkened, and she spoke coldly before him: "Murong Yuan, shut up! If you say another word, watch your mouth and get out!"
