[Miss, you're definitely going to lose points, I'm telling you! You have an antidote card, right? Just use it on the prince and he'll be fine immediately. Why do you need me to look up information for you?]
Tongsu changed into a narrow-sleeved Hu-style dress, which was the most popular riding and hunting attire among noble ladies, and walked briskly towards the stables.
She heard 666's complaints in her ears and laughed, "The young master has an allergy, and it's not difficult to treat. It's not worth wasting an antidote card. Besides, would it really cost points to look up some literature?"
[They probably will, but how much will be deducted won't be known until the settlement after the task is completed. Finding relevant literature is hard to say; searching is a real headache. You know, the word 'allergy' is a relatively recent invention; it didn't exist in ancient times.]
666 concealed its green light cluster and flew around her ear, humming softly.
What Tongsu said to it were the same words that Tongsu and the head of the Imperial Medical Academy had spoken when Helian Shizi fainted.
"I only used the God Chef Card and can make a few medicinal dishes. When it comes to medical skills, I'm just a half-baked expert, all talk and no action."
Tong Su sighed.
[Hey, don't worry, miss! We've got this setup all set up perfectly, haven't we?] 666 chattering away, [Miss, I have to log off now. See you in the quest space after you finish your quest!]
"Okay, goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to 666, Tongsu arrived at the stables. She looked around and finally chose a spirited, chestnut-red horse, which she led out herself.
On the first day of the winter hunt, a small enclosure would be found within the Great Cold Mountain hunting grounds. Princes, ministers, sons, and daughters who were interested in participating would be invited to ride around and hunt at will. The hunting was casual and without any rules.
In this open-minded era, noble ladies are no longer confined to their secluded homes. Many are skilled horsemen and have prepared bows and arrows. Once the designated area is determined, they immediately lead their entourage and ride into the forest.
Tongsu rode her horse out of the gate and arrived at the camp entrance. In the distance, she saw the man riding a tall, magnificent black horse, holding the reins and talking to someone beside him.
He was unusually dressed in a black riding outfit, his back straight, which made him appear even more aloof and tall. Standing there, he exuded an indescribable noble and indifferent air.
Tong Su smiled, spurred her horse and galloped over. Hearing the sound of hooves, he turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with helplessness: "Be careful."
"Brother! We haven't even left the camp yet, and you won't even let me ride a horse. How can you trust me to go hunting?"
Tong Su smiled and pretended to complain as she walked up to him and stopped: "I'm going to hunt a few more foxes today to make a winter coat for you, brother."
Xiao Lingchen beckoned her over and handed her a short bow: "Today I said I'd take you out to relax, but when did I ever allow you to go fox hunting? I'm worried about the horse running."
His hands were exceptionally beautiful, with distinct knuckles, thin calluses on his fingertips, and long, strong fingers, just like his cool and aloof personality.
Tongsu puffed out her cheeks and said deliberately, "Brother, how can you go back on your word? If you keep acting like this, I won't talk to you anymore!"
"Hahaha, isn't that just how Brother Xiao is? Miss Ji, just ignore him. This young master will take you fox hunting, shall we?"
Suddenly, the people next to her burst into laughter. Only then did Tong Su remember the person who had spoken to Xiao Lingchen before she arrived. She turned her head and saw that it was Prince Helian!
A day later, he had already woken up, but the red rash on his face had slightly subsided, making his handsome face look somewhat comical. He was winking and smiling at her.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words." Xiao Lingchen's expression was cold. "I appreciate Your Highness's good intentions. But if it's about hunting foxes, I'm here, so I won't trouble Your Highness!"
