When he woke up the next day, Wei Hanzhang realized that the man did not stay here.

There were inexplicable ripples in her heart.

He said that he was reluctant to part with her and wanted to live together with her, but in fact, he knew his limits.

...Which girl doesn't prefer to be treated gently and considerately rather than being strong and domineering? …………

It is already September, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

Wei Hanzhang spent the first two days practicing archery after arriving at the hunting grounds. On the first day, Xiao Junzhan taught her personally, but on the second day she sent the teacher away and started practicing on her own.

He also called over Jiang Zhixue, Jiang Zhiqi, and Jiang Zhiqin, four sisters, to study together.

After all, how could it be possible for the prince to go on a hunting trip and practice archery with her every day?

For two days in a row, the news that she was learning archery leaked out, and people often deliberately passed by the shooting range to pay their respects to her, and most of the people who came were girls.

Wei Hanzhang was a little annoyed, but she couldn't just remain cold and respond. After dealing with several waves of people in succession, she finally lost her patience.

He led the fierce horse beside him, climbed on it, and said, "Let's go. After training for so long, it's time for us to go hunt some real prey."

The three Jiang Zhiqin sisters responded immediately.

The guards assigned to her by Xiao Junzhan also followed behind.

As soon as we entered the hunting ground, we met several men riding on fine horses returning with prey.

If one of them is not Qian Jia Silang, then who else could it be?

Come to think of it, she had been "humiliated" by this man once.

When they saw it was her, the people on the opposite side bowed and saluted.

The leader was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a black python robe. He said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"......!" Wei Hanzhang was shocked by the title and the age.

This person should be the second prince of the current emperor.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to go hunting?" The second prince said with a smile, "The forest is vast, there are many ferocious beasts in it, and there are no protective measures. Sister-in-law, don't go too far, just walk around the periphery."

Wei Hanzhang thanked him politely and rode his horse inside.

Although she brought a team of guards for protection, she would still listen to other people's kindness.

The first hunting trip for the four sisters went surprisingly smoothly.

The first arrow Wei Hanzhang shot hit a gray hare. It was a lively and nimble rabbit, and it was not easy to hit it.

Unfortunately, no other prey was caught afterwards.

But she was already very satisfied. She personally brought this gray rabbit out of the hunting ground and brought it to Xiao Junzhan. She said proudly, "I'm awesome, right?"

It was already gray in the autumn day. It was evening now. The sky was getting darker. The bonfire had been lit and Xiao Junzhan was talking to his ministers.

When he saw the rabbit in her hand, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

Ning Hai stepped forward and said respectfully: "This rabbit is already dead. Do you want the cook to roast it, or..."

"No, I caught it myself," Wei Hanzhang said seriously, "I will see it again tomorrow."

A palace maid brought a basin of water, and Xiao Junzhan took her hand and helped her wash her fingers while saying, "There will be plenty of prey in the future, so why do you need to keep it specially?"

Wei Hanzhang blushed and said nothing.

This man had a strong aura and was extremely conspicuous. She had just run over excitedly and had not noticed that there were several ministers beside him. How could she feel comfortable asking others to watch him wash his hands for her?

I tried to pull my hand away, but it didn't work. I also couldn't be rude like I did when we were alone.

Ning Hai took the rabbit away and did not stop him.

He was right, there would be plenty of prey in the future, this was just an ordinary rabbit.

If it were a living thing, it could still be kept alive, but now it's dead. Even though the weather is getting cooler now, it will still stink in two days.

Wiping the little girl's hands with a handkerchief in his hand, Xiao Junzhan glanced at the followers in the distance and said in a gentle voice: "Next time you kill prey, don't carry it yourself. Bring someone with you and use it when necessary."

There is no girl who would carry back the bloody corpse of her prey.

The rabbit was eventually roasted into a plate of rabbit meat.

Wei Hanzhang generously gave him two rabbit legs and said with a smile, "Thank you for your careful teaching."

The corners of Xiao Junzhan's lips curled up.

This girl may not have realized herself that, since the poisonous insect has not been removed, she is not as repulsive to herself as she was at the beginning.

In the next few days, Wei Hanzhang sometimes went hunting with Xiao Junzhan, and sometimes, because she felt that there were too many people around Xiao Junzhan, she left him behind and accompanied the Jiang sisters.

It was really a rule from nowhere that forbade her to bring her cousins ​​with him when traveling.

The girls from the Jiang family were frightened after meeting him once.

Especially Jiang Zhiqi, who had been longing to meet the Crown Prince. Now he lowered his head when he saw him and was more respectful than anyone else.

It was obvious that Xiao Junzhan was quite gentle towards them.

Wei Hanzhang asked this question out of curiosity.

Jiang Zhiqi was more curious than her and asked, "Ranran, how dare you talk and laugh in front of His Highness? He is really scary. I can't help but get scared when I see him."

“……”Wei Hanzhang was speechless.

But when she thought of her second cousin who was a little timid in front of her grandfather, no matter how gentle Xiao Junzhan's attitude was, people inexplicably did not dare to offend her.

Wasn't she also frightened when she saw it for the first time?

On the other hand, Jiang Zhixue, whose temperament had changed drastically, was much better than her two sisters. When she met people, she could still greet them gracefully.

…………

After lunch, Wei Hanzhang and several of her cousins ​​rode their horses towards the forest.

These days, they have become familiar with this enclosure, and if they want to go in again, the guards arranged by Xiao Junzhan will stop them.

Only when Wei Hanzhang was with Xiao Junzhan could she follow him to the deeper part of the forest. Two days ago, she saw with her own eyes a black bear that was killed by a sword shot through its eye by him.

It really looks scary.

I heard that there is an even more dangerous wild forest further inside, and even for hunting, few people set foot there.

After all, none of the sons of noble families would go against their own lives.

After a few days, some differences could be seen in the sisters' archery skills.

If the autumn hunting that the emperor and empress attended together in previous years had prizes for the men, then arrangements should also be made for the ladies.

But now the crown prince is the regent, and the Eastern Palace has no real mistress. Wei Hanzhang, the future crown princess, will not do such an illegal thing.

However, it is still possible for the sisters to set a bet on winning or losing.

The eunuchs had counted the prey caught in the past few days. Wei Hanzhang ranked first among the sisters, followed closely by Jiang Zhixue and Jiang Zhiqin.

She was very lucky this afternoon and had a very high hit rate. After shooting another pheasant dead, she glanced at the prey on the horses of several guards and was very happy.

No wonder men love riding horses and hunting. The feeling of hitting the prey with one arrow is so refreshing and satisfying.

I don’t know how my cousins ​​have reaped the rewards. Whenever they enter the forest these days, they split up to avoid uneven distribution of prey.

The guards arranged by Xiao Junzhan were divided into four teams.
