Zhou Qiongyue also knew that time was tight, so she quickly explained, "Dad, Big Brother, I woke up feeling anxious today, as if something big was about to happen. Would you mind bringing more people with you today? And please keep an eye on the Second and Fifth Princes during the Spring Hunt."
It’s not that Zhou Qiongyue is worrying too much. The second prince and the fifth prince are the hope for the future of their Cheng’en Marquis Mansion and they cannot afford to lose them.
Zhou Wencan, the son of Marquis Cheng'en, and Zhou Zhiyi both frowned when they heard this. Although what their daughter/sister said was a bit outrageous, they both believed it very much.
"Don't worry, Yue'er. Your father and your eldest brother will bring more people with them. We won't go too deep into the depths. We'll also ask your grandfather to bring more people with him. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself."
Zhou Wencan was very worried about his daughter and wished he would not go on the spring hunt today and stay with his daughter.
"Sister, Dad is right. We will take care of ourselves, and you should take care of yourself too. Don't leave Auntie easily. If someone bullies you, just bear with it for now. When Dad and I come back, we will support you."
After Zhou Zhiyi gave his instructions, he was still worried, so he looked at his father Zhou Wencan again, "Dad, why don't I not participate in the spring hunt? I'll stay and accompany my sister!"
Zhou Zhiyi felt that since he participated in the Spring Hunt every year, it didn't matter if he missed one year.
Just as Zhou Wencan was about to agree, he heard Cheng'en Hou Zhou Moyang speak, "Alright, let's just bring more people. Yue girl has been with the Empress all day today, so even if you stay, you won't be able to get close to her. Don't dawdle, just gather everyone and leave!"
Marquis Cheng'en was convinced by his son and grandson, but he was speechless. He also had a daughter, and he didn't dote on the queen so much at that time!
"Grandfather is right. Dad and big brother, just listen to him! Bring more people and some medicine for external injuries. I will stay with my aunt and won't run around. Don't worry about me."
Zhou Qiongyue would definitely not let her father and elder brother give up the opportunity of spring hunting because of such uncertainty.
Spring hunting is a time to showcase one's talents to the emperor and the nobles, and it is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
Zhou Wencan was about to say something when he was interrupted by his son Zhou Zhiyi. It was getting late, and they couldn't keep dwelling on this issue. "Then listen to your sister. Father and I will bring more people."
When Crown Prince Zhou Wencan saw that his son had spoken, he reluctantly changed his words. If he had a choice, he would definitely choose to stay and accompany his daughter. He participated in the spring hunt every year, and that was it.
But Zhou Wencan looked at his son and father's expressions and knew that it was useless for him to say more. "Then listen to your eldest brother."
Zhou Qiongyue also knew that it was getting late, and since her father and elder brother had agreed, she quickly knelt down and took her leave.
Marquis Cheng'en, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes to the point that they were about to burst out. This father and son were just talking to themselves and were taking so long.
But he hadn't spoken since he spoke a moment ago, trying not to be annoying.
After Zhou Qiongyue left, Cheng Enhou urged, "Let's go. We'll take more people with us. Both of you should be more alert today."
Although he didn't believe it, it was better to believe it than not to believe it. Marquis Cheng'en was even more worried that something might happen to the two princes, as they were their hope for the future.
"Yes!" Zhou Wencan and Zhou Zhiyi quickly responded and followed their father/grandfather out to make arrangements.
Zhou Qiongyue came out of the front yard and went straight to her aunt's place without stopping.
Although it was still early, the Queen Mother had already instructed that Zhou Qiongyue could go in directly when she arrived, so Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the Queen Mother's residence without any obstruction.
Zhou Qiongyue was lucky. When she arrived, the second prince and the fifth prince had come to pay their respects early in the morning and had not yet left.
"Hello, aunt!" Zhou Qiongyue bowed with a smile.
"Yue'er is here! Come over here and let your aunt see if you have had breakfast?" The Queen warmly invited Zhou Qiongyue over.
Zhou Qiongyue had been with the Empress for a long time now, and she was not afraid of this aunt at all, so when she heard her aunt calling her over, she stood up and sat down next to her aunt, "Aunt, I have used it."
The second prince, Li Jingchen, said to Kai: "The people around my cousin cook such delicious food, how could my cousin not have breakfast?"
Zhou Qiongyue did not respond to the Second Prince's teasing. Instead, she expressed her concerns. "Second cousin, fifth cousin, when I woke up this morning, my right eye was twitching violently. I was so anxious. You two should bring more people with you today."
Upon hearing this, the Queen quickly looked at her niece sitting next to her. Seeing that her right eye was indeed twitching, she turned around and instructed her two sons: "You two should listen to Yue'er."
The Fifth Prince, who was a bit sister-con and mother-con, responded without hesitation, "Your son will obey my cousin and mother."
The second prince, Li Jingchen, was a little hesitant. "Mother, the princes all brought so many people with them. It's not good for me to bring a bunch of people with me."
The Queen thought about it and realized that the Spring Hunt was also a time for the princes to demonstrate their abilities. The Second Prince was different from the Fifth Prince and really couldn't bring so many people with him. "Pick the people around you and bring only the skilled ones. Don't bring the others."
"I'll listen to my mother." The second prince was not stupid and agreed immediately.
"Alright, you two go get ready!" After the Queen finished speaking, she took Zhou Qiongyue's hand and patted it, "You will stay by my side today, so don't wander around."
"I will listen to you, aunt." Zhou Qiongyue knew that her aunt was doing this for her own good, so she had no choice but to agree.
The second prince and the fifth prince also hurriedly bowed and went out to prepare. After all, in such occasions, there is no such thing as being late, only arriving at the right time.
After that, Zhou Qiongyue stayed beside the queen. She looked at the scene in front of her in shock. Many people were riding on horses waiting for the emperor's lecture.
The emperor first said a lot of words, and then Zhou Qiongyue saw the emperor nimbly jump on the horse, shoot an arrow into the distance, and then the emperor rushed out with his men.
Then came the princes, royal family members, ministers and nobles. Zhou Qiongyue searched for a long time among them before she saw her father and elder brother. Fortunately, she had good eyesight. If her eyesight was not good, and they were so far away, and everyone was wearing armor, it would be difficult to recognize them.
The Queen watched as the Emperor and his son had already left, and the women who were willing to leave had also left. Then she turned around and called Zhou Qiongyue to her side and asked, "Yue'er, what are you looking at?"
"Look at father and elder brother, they look so imposing in their armor." Zhou Qiongyue really felt so.
"Why don't you go down and play?" The Queen felt that Yue'er had become much quieter since she fell into the water. In the past, she was the most active in such occasions.
Zhou Qiongyue couldn't say that she wasn't the original owner! She could only smile sheepishly, "Aunt, I've become much less courageous since I fell into the water. I'm also a little scared of riding a horse, so I just want to stay quiet."
The queen gently touched Zhou Qiongyue's head and said, "This is all your second cousin's fault. When he comes back from hunting, I'll give him a good beating."
