Chapter 263 Autumn Hunt
On the other side, Qin Yuping and others who were recruited by the prince were asking Bei Qin for advice.
"Master Zhan, should we hold back on hunting this time?"
"If the prey we hunt passes by His Royal Highness, will His Royal Highness be unhappy?"
"The guards of the East Palace are certainly brave, but Your Highness is only a little girl after all, so it is normal that she is not good at riding."
Bei Qin wanted to tell the truth, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Anyone who is familiar with him would know that nothing the young and promising young marquis said at this moment was true.
But the ignorant youngsters didn't know what was going on and thought he was answering seriously: "You are very considerate."
"Your Highness is a magnanimous person, but he must feel bad to be surpassed by you one by one."
"Let's give her some leeway and give her some cushion."
The group of people reached a consensus, except for a young marquis who tried hard to hold back his laughter.
The guards of the East Palace also prepared their own horse bows and arrows.
A guard asked his companion: "We won't be defeated badly in this autumn hunt, right?"
"Although His Highness is very capable, he is only outstanding in civil affairs. I have never heard of his martial arts being outstanding."
"She's just a little girl after all. She's definitely not good at hunting."
The guard he was talking to looked around and said in a low voice, "You are asking for your life. How dare you talk about the prince?"
"Let's talk between the two of us without anyone else hearing us."
The man retorted, "We may not lose. All the prey we shoot will be counted as the prince's."
"Even if Your Highness does nothing, as long as he doesn't hold us back, the result won't be too bad, so don't worry."
The guard said worriedly, "That's not necessarily true."
"What if Your Highness is too coquettish and needs to rest after riding for a while?"
"My wife is like this. Every time we go out for an outing, she either complains about mosquito bites or the sun."
"She would be tired even from riding in a carriage."
"When we go out to play, we just lie down in the tent."
"The Crown Princess is also a girl, and she probably can't stand the wind and sun. We must be prepared to return empty-handed."
The hunt began, and Bei Jingchu and the East Palace guards were ready to go.
He took with him the puppy given by Princess Xianning and the falcon that Tuning had presented as a tribute before.
As the drums sounded, the emperor shot an arrow to signal the start of the hunt.
There was a crisp sound of whip, and the prince, who had no idea that his strength was suspected, rushed out on his horse.
The guards at the rear were divided into several teams and led in pursuit.
When passing by, the dust stirred up takes a while to disperse.
A herd of deer were seen not far away.
Bei Jingchu didn't think about it at this time, and let Lei Nian'er command: "Team one, team two, take the small road to encircle them."
"Team three, block the exit."
"The rest of you follow His Highness and drive them into the encirclement."
The prince himself was no hindrance. He drew his bow and shot arrows, and never missed a single shot. Soon he had caught a pile of prey.
She never advertised her riding skills, and not many people knew that she was good at it.
The little girl's stern look was very different from her usual look. The falcon circled in the sky and then flew down with a whoosh.
Bei Jingchu raised her hand and it rested steadily on her hand.
With a wave of its arms, it took off again, leading the hunting team to where it had found its prey.
The autumn wind blows against my body, accompanied by the still strong sunshine, and a long-lost sense of freedom comes over me.
Bei Jingchu really enjoyed the feeling of running fast and followed Falcon to hunt everywhere.
She had no idea that the guards who doubted her ability were almost exhausted.
