Chapter 120 There are people all around, so you can’t do anything stupid
As a prince, Xiao Jiwu naturally had to go, and Yun Qingshi had to go with him.
After someone brought the horses, Yun Qingshi followed Xiao Jiwu into the enclosure on horseback. Several guards from the palace also accompanied them.
After riding a short distance, he saw several small animals.
Hare, pheasant, and deer.
However, in addition to these docile animals, it is said that there are also large beasts such as bears, tigers and leopards in the hunting grounds, but Yun Qingshi has not seen them yet.
At this moment, the other princes were already scrambling to hunt, but Prince Xiao had not yet shot the first arrow.
Yun Qingshi guessed that the other party probably had no interest in hunting at all.
He felt a little itchy and wanted to try it.
But unfortunately, as a guard, he was not qualified to hunt those animals, and the reason he appeared here was just to protect Xiao Jiwu.
However, after following Xiao Jiwu deeper into the forest and seeing that there was no one else around, Yun Qingshi was too lazy to care about those things.
He took Xiao Jiwu's spare bow and arrow from behind him and aimed at a pheasant that was jumping around aimlessly.
Aim and shoot, all in one go.
As expected, the pheasant fell to the ground.
This was Yun Qingshi’s first time hunting, and he hit the target, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
He had never played this before with his bad friends.
Yun Qingshi's mood immediately improved a lot. He happily dismounted, picked up the prey, tied it up and put it on the saddle.
Seeing him smile, Prince Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips and asked, "Are you so happy?"
Yun Qingshi remounted his horse and nodded, "Of course I'm happy to have shot the prey. We'll roast a chicken tonight. Call them Shadow Three and Shadow Twelve."
He continued, "But one isn't enough. Let's go a little further and I'll get something else."
Prince Xiao naturally responded: "Okay."
————
Since he came here to hunt, Xiao Jiwu naturally couldn't return empty-handed.
It was not until the end of the hunting in the afternoon that Xiao Jiwu hunted a deer and a wolf.
Even with a veil on, he never missed his target.
As for Yun Qingshi, he only hunted three pheasants and two rabbits in total.
He just couldn't bring himself to kill the remaining animals.
Mainly because in modern times, those are all national protected animals, and his education tells him not to harm them.
He was already very satisfied with having pheasants and rabbits to eat.
After the hunt, there is another very important task, which is to count the prey and reward the emperor.
With Xiao Jiwu's passive and sabotaging state, it was naturally impossible for him to take the top spot, so he was directly ranked 17th.
As for those standing behind Xiao Jiwu, they were either children or weak civil officials.
Prince Xiao didn't care about this at all.
After counting the prey, everyone was able to return to their tents to rest for a while and wait for the banquet in the evening.
Yun Qingshi still remembered to roast pheasants and rabbits in the evening, so when he counted the prey just now, he did not include the ones he had shot.
Naturally, he had no plans to attend the evening banquet with Xiao Jiwu.
After returning to the tent, he quickly asked Zhao Mingde to find someone to help him deal with several prey.
Zhao Mingde's work was impeccable. Even before Yun Qingshi mentioned anything else, he had already ordered people to prepare firewood and set up the grill. Even the chicken and rabbit had been marinated and were just waiting to be grilled.
At this time, the advantage of the remote location of the tent was reflected. Apart from a few servants brought by the palace, there were no outsiders around.
It was already dark at this time. Yun Qingshi went out to see what Zhao Mingde had prepared, and then returned to the tent to start moving stools outside.
Seeing this, Zhao Mingde also started moving.
The stools were moved out of the tent, and there were four of them, which was more than enough.
But when he looked up after finishing his work, he found that Prince Xiao had not left yet. Yun Qingshi couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Prince, aren't you going to the banquet tonight?"
Xiao Jiwu looked at everything Yun Qingshi had arranged and had a plan in mind. He directly instructed Zhao Mingde, "Go and ask for leave for me. Say that I am not feeling well and will not attend the banquet tonight."
Zhao Mingde couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly agreed: "Yes."
Yun Qingshi: ...
He said that Xiao Jiwu was slacking off, and it turned out to be true.
Yun Qingshi shook his head helplessly, his eyes fell on the stool, and found that the stool seemed not enough.
They can't just eat while Yingyi watches.
After thinking about it, Yun Qingshi immediately asked Changshun to find three more stools.
Three plus four makes seven stools in total.
After much deliberation, he decided to bring Zhao Mingde and Changshun along as well.
But when it was time to start grilling the meat, Yun Qingshi called everyone out, but no one dared to sit down.
No matter what Yun Qingshi said, no one dared to sit down.
Until Xiao Jiwu said: "Everyone sit down."
"Yes." Everyone responded and sat down.
But even after sitting down, everyone looked very reserved, especially Zhao Mingde and Changshun.
While eating, everyone had different thoughts.
Probably the only one who was full was Yun Qingshi.
Yun Qingshi thus understood a truth: some things cannot be forced. Next time, he would not make things difficult for Eunuch Zhao.
————
After eating and drinking, Yun Qingshi followed Xiao Jiwu back to the tent, leaving a few people outside to clean up the aftermath.
Zhao Mingde brought some water for the two to rinse their mouths and wash their hands.
After the two of them finished drinking water, he went outside to wait again.
Xiao Jiwu then went to the desk to look through military books, while Yun Qingshi was forced to sit on his lap and read storybooks.
Yun Qingshi was already used to this. He leaned his head lazily on Prince Xiao's shoulder, turning the page of the book from time to time.
Yun Qingshi was reading it very seriously, but Xiao Jiwu's attention was not on the military book at all.
But clearly, the boy just sat there obediently.
Xiao Jiwu couldn't bear to read any more books, so he turned his head and kissed the boy's eyebrows, then his eyes, and ears...
Yun Qingshi was so itchy that he couldn't concentrate on reading the storybook. He put the storybook down helplessly and held Prince Xiao's face and asked, "What on earth are you doing?"
Without waiting for Xiao Jiwu to answer, he continued to remind: "This is a hunting ground. There are people everywhere. You can't do anything reckless."
Prince Xiao leaned over and kissed the corner of the boy's lips before answering, "I know, otherwise I would not have let you go last night."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi fell silent and chose to close his eyes and play badly.
Prince Xiao's lips curled up as he watched, and he lowered his head to kiss the boy's cheek.
Just then, Zhao Mingde's obviously anxious voice came from outside the tent.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Su. Why are you here at this hour?"
Such a loud sound is obviously a warning.
Yun Qingshi:!!!
Yun Qingshi was startled by the sound and reacted quickly to get off Xiao Jiwu. He then quickly straightened his clothes and stood behind Xiao Jiwu. The whole process took no more than five seconds.
There was no way. His life was at stake, so he couldn't help but be unhappy.
(The plot will begin in the next chapter, and poor Xiao Xiao will be online.)
