Undoubtedly, Bei Ming Yulan would not say that she was going to cause trouble for Gu Shirong, but she really didn't know how she fainted.
Could it be that Gu Shirong brought me back? Thinking of this, he immediately looked around, but he didn't see Gu Shirong, not even the prince.
I immediately had doubts in my mind.
"Fu Cheng found you and brought you back." Bei Mingxuan explained.
"I knew it. The Ninth Prince is worried about Lan'er." Bei Ming Yulan held Bei Ming Xuan's arm. "Is he worried that Lan'er would be hurt by some wild beasts? That's why he asked Fu Cheng to find Lan'er."
"Haha, you are the smart one." Bei Mingxuan smiled, looking extremely doting.
"Princess Lan." Seeing that she was fine, Lin Shangde asked, "I wonder if my daughter Lin Yanran can go with you?"
"...Yeah." Bei Ming Yulan suddenly became listless, her head drooping. "Looking for..."
"Looking for it?" Lin Shangde said patiently, "What do you mean?"
At this time, everyone looked at Bei Ming Yulan.
"Um... Prime Minister Lin, Yanran can't be found..."
"What?" The emperor frowned. "Explain clearly, why can't you find it?"
Bei Ming Yulan shrank back behind Bei Ming Xuan with a look of fear on her face, "Ninth Uncle..."
"Princess Lan, you'd better tell me quickly. At least there are many people here now, and we can still go look for her." Chang'an comforted her softly and pulled Beiming Yulan out from behind Beiming Xuan.
Then he quickly added in her ear, "If you don't want to cause trouble for your Ninth Uncle, then don't always hide around him."
Sure enough, this is Bei Ming Xuan’s Achilles’ heel, Bei Ming Yulan.
"It's like this," Bei Ming Yulan said, "Yanran and I mentioned on the way that there's a waterfall right next to the enclosure, and the scenery there is particularly beautiful. Yanran wanted to go see it, so after we arrived at the enclosure, she went there."
"Is there anyone accompanying you?" Lin Shangde asked.
"No..." Bei Ming Yulan added, "But I suggested that Yanran stay with my father's people. She refused."
"Lan'er, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The eldest prince gritted his teeth. "Do you know that there are the most wild beasts there?"
"How would I know?" Bei Ming Yulan was about to cry. "It was Yanran who told me not to tell anyone. She also said that we were all in the enclosure and there were no bad guys. She would be back soon. Since I promised Yanran not to tell anyone, I naturally wouldn't tell anyone."
"Alright." The Emperor immediately ordered the people he brought with him, "You, go find her quickly. Prime Minister, don't worry, Yanran will be fine."
"Yes." Lin Shangde was worried, but he couldn't say anything at this moment.
"Why hasn't the prince returned yet?" the emperor asked. "Tell me about your rules. Lan'er, tell me."
"Whoever kills the most, suffers the fewest casualties, and uses the fewest arrows wins."
"Hmm?" the Emperor thought. "Interesting. Fewest casualties, fewest arrows used."
As he spoke, the emperor's eyes fell on the prey Chang'an had caught, "Xiao Chengzi, count them out."
Eunuch Cheng counted the results, "30 arrows in total. 10 were caught. 20 arrows remaining. None of the prey died, all were injured in the calves."
"Good!" The emperor's face lit up with joy. "Chang'an, you never miss a target."
"No." Chang'an smiled, his cheeks flushed, and he said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. Actually, one of the arrows was missed. I secretly put it back..."
“…Ahahahaha!” The emperor laughed.
This caused the people around to laugh as well.
"If you don't tell the truth, I won't be able to tell." The emperor looked at Chang'an in a good mood, "You, child, are really as honest as Xuan'er. It can be said that the old saying is true, people of the same family are alike."
Bei Mingxuan on the side looked at Chang'an with eyes full of love, so strong that it warmed people's hearts.
Chang'an glanced at Bei Mingxuan sideways. She could feel Bei Mingxuan's burning gaze without even looking.
"Father." Chang'an stood up and took the arrow. "How could you not see it? Chang'an will show you."
As she spoke, she glanced at the arrows in her hand and quickly picked out the one that missed the target. "That's it."
The emperor held an unused arrow in one hand and the arrow given to him by Chang'an in the other, comparing them with each other.
"The quality is slightly different, and the sharpness is also different." The emperor smiled and handed the arrow to Eunuch Cheng. "Little Chengzi, go and take a closer look to see if there are any leaks."
Chang'an looked up at the emperor without saying a word, and happened to see that the emperor was looking at him, so he curled his lips and said nothing, and sat back next to Bei Mingxuan.
When Eunuch Cheng finished his inspection, the prince and Gu Shirong returned with his prey.
When he saw the emperor and the left and right prime ministers, he was surprised.
"Father." The prince knelt respectfully.
"You came back later than Chang'an." The emperor's expression was calm as he looked at a stick of incense beside him. "However, this incense has just burned out."
The prince looked at Gu Changan. He was also surprised. He had not expected that Gu Changan would come back earlier than him. "I guess you haven't been back for long?"
Chang'an smiled and said nothing.
But when the emperor heard what the prince said, a flash of anger flashed across his face, then a smile appeared on his face again. He glanced at the left and right prime ministers beside him and said slowly, "Prince, you underestimate Chang'an. I have been here for a while, and Chang'an was already sitting here before I came."
The prince was stunned and did not respond.
But Gu Shirong beside him said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the prince is actually trying to give way to Chang'an. Otherwise, he would have returned long ago."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gu Shirong with satisfaction, then looked at the prince, "Is that so, Prince?"
In fact, the emperor would rather let the prince tell the truth at this time. After all, who among all the people here is not a shrewd person?
The prince smiled, not feeling that there was anything wrong, and said, "As a man, it is only right for my son to give way to Chang'an."
For a long time, the emperor just looked at the prince without saying a word, and there was already a fierce look in his eyes.
But he suddenly lowered his head, and when he looked up at the Crown Prince again, his eyes were filled with happiness and pride. "The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of Shuzhou, so it is only right that he should give way to the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom."
"!!!" Chang'an, hearing the emperor's biased words, was so anxious that she wanted to curse.
Very good, since the emperor is so partial, he will give the prince a chance to perform well.
Anyone present who fails to sense the emperor’s favoritism is a fool.
Such favoritism is really unacceptable.
Since the emperor regards her as the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, Chang'an will naturally not lose face for the Southern Kingdom.
