Bai Xihe said calmly: "I can't call a deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, right?"

Su Cheng thought, no.

He hung the quiver on his saddle, mounted his horse, called another man to take his place, and took Bai Xihe into the woods.

Xiao Yunzi followed the two of them silently.

As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Su Cheng had already explored the path in the forest in advance to ensure the safety of this hunt. He did not take Bai Xihe deep into the forest, but only wandered around the periphery.

Neither of them said a word, just like a true king and his subject.

Bai Xihe looked at his back, pinched the reins, and said calmly: "Commander Su, are you planning to never talk to me again?"

Xiao Yunzi lowered her head and said, "Don't look at anything inappropriate, and don't listen to anything inappropriate."

Su Cheng said: "I dare not."

Bai Xihe said: "I think you are very brave."

Su Cheng was in a dilemma whether to respond or not.

"I'm thirsty." Bai Xihe said.

Su Cheng casually untied the water bag from his waist and was about to turn around and hand it to her. Halfway through, he remembered that he had drunk the water from it, so he immediately put the water bag back.

"I'll go get you some water."

There is mountain spring water nearby and a wild lotus pond.

Bai Xihe looked at him as if he was fleeing in panic, and said coldly, "Commander Su, aren't you afraid of leaving me here alone and encountering some danger?"

"Uh..." Su Cheng scratched his head.

Bai Xihe thought he would hand over the water bag, but he said seriously: "Then, let's go together."

Bai Xihe: “…”

The three of them came to the spring, and Su Cheng went to the wild lotus pond to pick lotus leaves. When they were in the countryside, they often used lotus leaves to hold water, which could hold more than ordinary leaves.

Bai Xihe didn't drink much.

Then they returned to the forest to hunt. As luck would have it, they met the princess and little princess of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty originally wanted to play with the four tigers with Princess Hui'an, but the four tigers were still young and got tired easily.

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was bored, so she wanted to go hunting in the forest. The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty couldn't persuade her, so she came in with her.

Moye also came with them and went to chase the little rabbit.

"Your Highness, Little Princess." Su Cheng greeted politely.

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty nodded slightly: "Grand Empress Dowager, Commander Su."

Bai Xihe looked calm.

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty blinked and looked at Su Cheng: "Are you Qin Su's father?"

"Yes." Su Cheng replied.

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was on good terms with her own daughter, so Su Cheng treated her with more patience than he did with others.

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty asked, "Have you seen Qin Su? I want to find her."

The case was solved. The little girl didn't come here to hunt, but to play with Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Cheng said: "I haven't met her since I came in."

"Is that so?" The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was disappointed.

The weather was not good. It was a clear sky just now, but suddenly the sky darkened and it started to rain heavily soon after.

The group had to take shelter in a nearby cave.

"Can Moye find us?" asked the young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty stroked her wet hair and said, "Yes, I left a mark on him."

The little princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was hungry and her stomach was growling non-stop.

They just hunted two rabbits, but unfortunately neither of them knew how to cook.

Su Cheng took the rabbit out, and when he came back, he was soaked by the rain, but the rabbit meat was also cleaned.

There were some wood and dry grass in the cave. He picked them up and made a fire. He skewered the rabbit with branches and roasted it on the rack.

Su Cheng had been scolded in the village since he was a child, and was rarely praised. He would feel embarrassed when he was praised: "This, this is nothing, I learned it in the countryside."

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said carefreely: "There are many things you can learn in the countryside. I want to go there too!"

Su Cheng almost couldn't respond: "The little princess is also very powerful."

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. What if the little girl asked him, "What's so great about me?" He would definitely not be able to make up a story.

"They often praise me for being great, but I don't think they praise me as well as you do."

She didn't know what magical filter she had, but she found Su Cheng very pleasing to the eye.

The smaller rabbit was roasted. Su Cheng cut it open with a knife, making sure that the inside was cooked through before tearing off a piece of rabbit leg and handing it to her.

The young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty took a bite and her eyes lit up: "It's delicious! It tastes better than the one Moye roasted!"

She grunted and in the blink of an eye, one of the rabbit legs was gone.

But it seemed that she was not full yet.

Su Cheng tore off another one and gave it to her.

She was not as hungry as before, and she talked to Su Cheng while eating. However, her first sentence surprised Su Cheng.

"Will you be my father?"

Su Cheng choked directly.

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty had no prince consort, only lovers and servants. No one knew who the biological father of the little princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was.

"Xin'er." The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty spoke lightly.

The little princess of the Western Jin Dynasty turned her head and looked at her: "Mother, I like him. If he becomes my father, Qin Su will be my sister, and I can play with Qin Su every day! Qin Su has four tigers and five tigers, and she must have big tigers, two tigers, and three tigers in her family. They must be very interesting."

It’s Xiaohu…Su Cheng corrected himself in his heart.

Besides, to play with them, you have to be alive.

Bai Xihe's face darkened beneath her veil.

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty glanced at Bai Xihe and her eyes fell on Su Cheng's handsome face.

"Xin'er told me for the first time that she wanted a father. Are you willing to go back to Western Jin with me and be my consort?"

Su Cheng was choked again.

Are all the adults and children in your Western Jin Dynasty so tough?

Bai Xihe said calmly, "If he becomes a royal consort, does His Highness Xi Jin intend to remain faithful to him, or continue to keep his concubines?"

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty asked pointedly, "Who are you asking me this question as? Are you the Grand Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, or a jealous woman?"

Su Cheng's hands trembled.

Bai Xihe had not been the Empress Dowager for so many years in vain. Even when someone pointed out the truth, she did not seem to be panicked at all.

She said sternly, "Commander Su is the Duke of Protectorate of the Great Zhou. His marriage is both a family affair and a state affair."

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty said calmly, "Then I will go to your Great Zhou's emperor to ask for a marriage. I believe he will be happy to marry the Western Jin Dynasty."

Bai Xihe sneered: "How shameless of you to marry the heir of the Qin family army to you?"

The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty gave her a sneer, "Is it more respectable to grant marriage to the Empress Dowager of the royal family?"

This completely broke the window paper.

The little princess didn't understand what they were talking about, so she just lit the fire and ignored them, focusing on eating the rabbit meat.

Su Cheng tore off another rabbit leg.

Bai Xihe and the princess of the Western Jin Dynasty reached out their hands to him at the same time.

I have to go to the hospital soon, so I’ll stop here for today. Everyone should make sure to eat well.
