Chapter 102 Anyone who dares to touch this princess
"Father, you are so majestic that even a mere wild boar has to submit." The prince's words of praise were a far cry from his previous arrogant look.
"The prince is quite modest."
The emperor rode on his horse, looking at the prince with a deep gaze. When he was hunting in Nanyuan before, the prince was very flamboyant.
"Father, I was ignorant before, please forgive me."
The prince said a little embarrassedly: "This time, your son has reflected deeply. Your father is so powerful, your son must learn from him."
“Learning never stops.”
The emperor is very satisfied with the current prince. He has become much more obedient and no longer as arrogant as before.
"Your Majesty is right." The prince lowered his eyes, his face full of admiration and worship.
"Brothers, work together and catch the wild boar. If your mother knew about this, she would be very happy."
The Emperor gave the order, and the Crown Prince quickly said, "Don't worry, Father. We brothers will definitely support each other."
"Yes." Chu Cong spoke little.
The prince put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go hunt a wild boar."
After that, the prince and Chu Cong went to hunt wild boars. There were fewer people around the emperor. The emperor looked at Song Yuqing who was standing beside him. With his talent, he was worthy of being the top scholar. However, seeing his outstanding appearance at that time, he chose him as the third place scholar.
Ling Zhao fell in love with him at first sight and asked for an imperial decree to grant them marriage. This time, he insisted on bringing Song Yuqing to pay homage to the late queen. It seemed that Ling Zhao liked him very much.
"Song Qing." As soon as the emperor spoke, Song Yuqing knelt down and saluted: "What does the emperor want?"
"There's no need for such a grand gift. After I marry Lingzhao, he will also be my son-in-law. What do you think of Lingzhao, Mr. Song?" The emperor looked down at Song Yuqing.
"Her Royal Highness is intelligent, sincere and frank, kind and compassionate, and sincerely wants to work for the welfare of the people. This is a blessing for the people and for me, your humble servant."
Song Yuqing praised generously.
The emperor's beard curled upwards as he listened to these words of praise. He said, "It is indeed a blessing for Song Qing to marry the princess. If one day, Song Qing dares to betray the princess, I will never forgive him!"
Song Yuqing's heart trembled at the emperor's solemn words. He said more seriously, "I will do my best to make Her Royal Highness happy."
The emperor looked at him silently and said, "Song Qing is not good at hunting, why don't you go pick yellow peaches? The yellow peaches in Lingtai Mountain are good."
"Yes, I will pick the best yellow peaches and present them to the emperor." After Song Yuqing said this, he went to pick yellow peaches.
The emperor looked at his departing figure and said, "Could it be that Ling Zhao is attracted to his face?"
Although not all the men in Mu Ning Country are good at martial arts, some, like Song Yuqing, cannot lift anything with their hands or carry anything on their shoulders, and are even afraid of water.
"Lord Song is brilliant, well-versed in history and the present, and gentle as jade," Eunuch Feng praised. The Emperor raised his hand to interrupt, "It's amazing that you can think of so many good words!"
If Song Yuqing didn't have some talent, how could he be worthy of his Ling Zhao?
Yellow peach forest.
"Her Royal Highness's cook is really good."
After Shen Lingshu had eaten and drunk her fill, she blurted out words of praise. Madam Wu's cooking was already good enough, but the roasted rabbit and roasted chicken in front of her were even more fragrant and richer in flavor!
"This princess has been searching for you for a long time, and only then did she stay by my side to serve you."
Princess Lingzhao's face was full of pride. She said, "I'm full, Concubine Shen. How about we go over here and take a walk?"
After eating and drinking her fill, Princess Lingzhao wanted to move around. She really didn't like being restrained in the palace, so she nimbly climbed up the tree and picked the biggest and best yellow peaches.
"Princess, be careful."
Shen Lingshu stood under the tree and reminded that Princess Lingzhao did not look like a noble lady in Kyoto at all. She was as agile as a monkey on the tree. Thinking of her being a princess but growing up in Lingtai Mountain, perhaps she could understand.
"It's okay, I pick them all the time."
Princess Lingzhao took down the yellow peaches one by one. Shen Lingshu looked at the two children sleeping soundly in the tree house, and she relaxed a lot. She followed Princess Lingzhao to pick peaches together.
Shen Lingshu was enjoying this rare leisure time and was feeling happy and excited when suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away.
"Are there any wild rabbits over there?"
Shen Lingshu looked at something moving in the grass not far away and asked excitedly.
"Bring me the arrows, I want to hunt this hare!" Princess Lingzhao said happily, took the arrows and prepared to shoot.
Unexpectedly, a wild boar with a green face and fangs rushed out, frightening Princess Lingzhao so much that she shouted, "It's a wild boar! Run! Run!"
Wild boar?
After hearing the news, Shen Lingshu immediately ran towards the tree house. Looking at the two children sleeping soundly, she blocked the door tightly.
The wet nurse was also protecting the child, and Liu Si and Xia Yu even found sticks from the side, wondering if they could protect the child.
“Ahhh~”
The wild boar screamed and rushed around, knocking down the small tree house next to it in an instant!
"Climb a tree."
Shen Lingshu watched the small tree house not far away being knocked down and instantly became worried. She immediately said, "Who of you will climb the tree?"
"I."
Liu Si raised her hand and then said, "But I can't climb the tree with the child in my arms."
"This wild boar is mad and charging around. Even with guards, we can't stop it for long." Shen Lingshu watched the wild boar rushing towards the tree house like a madman, and there was no guarantee that it would not crash into them.
Shen Lingshu immediately picked up the sister beside her, and Liu Si picked up her sister and said, “Master, it’s too late for us to run now, we must climb the tree.”
"I brought bandages." The wet nurse said, and immediately tied the younger sister to Liu Si's body. It didn't matter if they died, but if the young master died, their whole family would be finished!
"Master, don't worry. It's tied so tightly that it won't fall off." The wet nurse's hands were shaking. Seeing the guards falling down while trying to stop the wild boar, she was so scared that she couldn't even use strength.
Finally, the sister was safely placed on Liusi's body. Liusi took a few steps to make sure the child was okay, then she climbed up the tree nimbly. Afraid that she was not standing high enough, she went up another step!
"Master, we can do it!" Liu Si said excitedly.
"Xia Yu." Shen Lingshu immediately looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn't say anything and tied Shen Lingshu directly: "Master, you are the most important now!"
"Someone, come quickly!" Princess Ling Zhao did not get down from the tree, but shouted loudly, saying: "Concubine Shen, climb the tree quickly, wild boars can't climb trees."
Princess Ling Zhao was anxious and angry. When she turned around and saw that it was Song Yuqing on the wild boar, she became even more worried: "Brother Yuqing, don't chase him."
"Go away!"
Song Yuqing's exclamation was followed by Princess Lingzhao's cry: "No!"
Shen Lingshu turned around, and the moment the wild boar charged towards them, Song Yuqing used his body as a barrier and charged directly towards the wild boar.
"You beast, how dare you touch my people!" Princess Lingzhao jumped down from the tree, pulled out the dagger on her foot, and stabbed it hard at the wild boar!
