Around dusk, the campsite became lively.
Fu Sang was also awakened by the noise and opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Nonghua went over to help her get up.
Fu Sang rubbed his eyes and asked, "Have all the people who went on the autumn hunt returned?"
As Nonghua straightened her clothes, she said, "You're back. The princess of the vassal state hunted a sika deer, a fox, and several wild rabbits."
She paused slightly, then continued, "Sister Ziyu hasn't returned yet."
Fu Sang's mind cleared considerably. He pursed his rosy lips slightly and asked, "Is the time almost up?"
Nonghua respectfully replied, "There is still a quarter of an hour left."
There are time restrictions for autumn hunting; if you don't return by the designated time, the hunted animals will not be counted.
After helping Fu Sang tidy up, Nong Hua asked with some concern, "I hope nothing has happened to Sister Zi Yu."
Fu Sang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Probably not."
"Let's go." She smiled slightly and said, "Come with me to take a look."
When she reached a wide-open space, bonfires had been lit all around. In the bright firelight, the women from noble families who had hunted their prey to their satisfaction all wore smiles on their faces.
Fu Sang immediately captured everyone's attention upon his appearance.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine—"
Fu Sang nodded slightly and walked towards the boy sitting on the dragon throne.
We're getting closer.
Puyang Tang extended his hand with its distinct knuckles.
Fu Sang placed his hand on it and let him pull him to sit down next to him.
"Ziyu hasn't returned yet," she said.
Puyang Tang's eyes remained calm as he said, "Wait a moment."
The princess of the vassal state smiled brightly, took her bow and arrow and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, the guards have already checked, and it seems that tonight's champion is none other than me."
As she spoke, her gaze swept across Fu Sang's face, a hint of sarcasm playing on her lips.
Fu Sang blinked and suddenly said, "I'm a little thirsty."
The young emperor immediately reached out, picked up the white jade cup, and brought it to her lips.
Fu Sang enjoyed the emperor's service with a clear conscience, taking a small sip of the sweet tea.
The princess of the vassal state's smile faded slightly, and a hint of jealousy and anger flashed in her eyes.
However, the thought of receiving a promise from the emperor soon brought a hint of disdain to her eyes.
A woman who only knows how to use her looks to please men is not worth considering as an opponent.
The guards held gongs and beat drums.
Clang—
Just then, a horse came galloping from not far away.
The woman, holding the reins in one hand and a thick rope in the other, had a cold, sharp glint in her eyes.
When she arrived at the venue.
When everyone saw what the rope was tied to, they gasped in surprise.
She hunted a huge wild boar.
"Oh my god—"
"This woman is truly formidable, leaving men far behind."
Ziyu dismounted his horse with a dashing and nimble figure and walked up to the emperor and empress.
"I had a slight accident, but I shouldn't have missed the appointed time, right?"
The eunuch who kept track of the time quickly spoke up.
"Miss Shen returned within the stipulated time."
The princess of the vassal state had a gloomy face and glared at Ziyu through gritted teeth.
Ziyu glanced at her indifferently.
The young emperor, with a languid and nonchalant expression, declared, "I hereby declare that tonight's champion is Shen Ziyu."
Ziyu knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Puyang Tang asked, "What do you want?"
Fu Sang was also quite curious about what Zi Yu wanted.
Shen Ziyu stared intently at Fu Sang.
Puyang Tang narrowed his dark eyes slightly, his thin, beautiful lips pursed.
Shen Ziyu lowered her head and said, "This humble woman really likes the Imperial Concubine's peach blossom wine, so..."
Fu Sang couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
Little Darling forbade her from giving away the homemade peach blossom wine.
