"Giddy up, giddy up..." Hongzhou led his men on a run through the forest, but every time they spotted prey, Hongzhou would nock an arrow and shoot it at a nearby tree, and the prey would always slip away.
Xiao Tian noticed that the prince was always missing his targets, so he asked, "Prince, why aren't you hunting properly? You made a bet with the two princes!"
Hongzhou rolled his eyes at Xiaotian, annoyed that he was meddling. "Today is Hongxiang and Hongang's day, I'm just here to have some fun! Of course I can't steal their thunder!"
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Today's prize is Miss Qingluo. Do you know how many people in the capital admire her?"
Hongzhou suddenly stopped his horse and looked at Xiaotian seriously.
"Xiao Tian, hasn't the principal wife reprimanded you for a long time? Or did Qingluo give you some favor that makes you speak up for her like this?"
Xiao Tian was usually most afraid of Wu Kuzha, but now that he heard the Prince using his principal wife to pressure him, he immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak. Only then did Hong Zhou turn around with satisfaction and leisurely go "hunting".
Hong Ang led Yu Ning aimlessly through the woods, not really hunting at all. Hong Ang had just said he wouldn't participate, but every time he was about to draw his bow, Yu Ning would cause trouble behind him, preventing him from aiming.
Hong Ang liked Yu Ning very much, so he knew that Yu Ning was afraid that if he won the prize, she would take Qing Luo away, so he just thought that this was her little scheme.
"Yu Ning, we've been hunting for so long, shall we take a break?" Hong Ang thought that rather than letting her suffer on horseback, he should ask to rest himself.
"Great! Your Highness, Yu Ning is a bit tired too!" Yu Ning was worried that Hong Ang would hunt too much, so she thought it would be a good time for him to rest! Who knew that after resting, Hong Ang never went hunting again, and the two of them enjoyed the scenery and chatted by the roadside, feeling very comfortable.
Around midnight, the three groups of men finally returned, and their followers counted the game. As expected, Hongxiang's hunt yielded the most prey.
"That's strange... I've had quite a few prey today, how come you two... have even fewer than me?" After Hongxiang and Qingluo rode together, they basically didn't shoot any prey.
Hongzhou chuckled dryly, "I'm really outmatched, outmatched..." Hongang chimed in, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed..." Hongxiang blinked at the two of them, wondering what they were up to.
Qingluo stood aside, feeling uneasy. She had tried everything to prevent Hongxiang from hunting, but the two of them were also avoiding her. She felt ridiculous!
Hongzhou instructed his attendants to gut and roast the prey, while he went to bathe and change his clothes.
Yu Ning followed Hong Ang away. "Brother Hong Xiang, since you won, what about the prize..." Hong Zhou glanced at Qing Luo and asked her to accompany Hong Xiang to take a bath.
Hongxiang smiled, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Qingluo. "This kind of thing depends on whether Miss Qingluo is willing or not!"
“Brother Hongxiang is joking. Brother Hongxiang is handsome and dashing. How could Miss Qingluo not be willing? What do you say, Miss Qingluo?” Hongzhou asked.
Qingluo looked bewildered; she couldn't refuse Hongxiang, but she also didn't want to go with him. Hongzhou was urging her on from the side…
"Qingluo is naturally willing!" Qingluo suppressed her inner thoughts and said loudly.
So the three of them went to bathe and change clothes. Qingluo served Hongxiang, Yuning served Hongang, and Hongzhou was naturally served by Xiaotian.
