Chapter 191 Let's go together
"Oh dear, Your Highness, what happened to you?"
Xiao Quanzi hurriedly rescued Xie Yunqi and earnestly advised him, "Your Highness, why don't we take off this raincoat? It's really not befitting your status!"
Sheng Sheng sat down beside him, propping his head up and nodding in agreement: "Hmm, Fifth Brother, I think your method might not work. Bees don't have a dull sense of smell. Instead of wearing a raincoat, I suggest you stick a few flowers on yourself instead."
Xie Yunqi scratched his chin: "Really?"
Xie Yunqi thought about it carefully and felt that it made some sense.
But it took him a lot of effort to put on this raincoat, and he also personally stuffed cotton and wiped away mud from the black robe underneath, which took him a lot of time.
And that stick, tied up section by section, it was so hard work, it finally became the peerless magical weapon it is today.
Xie Yunqi felt it was a shame to just leave it unused.
Sheng Sheng could see his hesitation and immediately understood his little scheme.
Sheng Sheng couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "Brother, you just want to play with the stick."
"Ugh, these are childish things only little kids play with. I'm all grown up now, how could I be so childish?" Xie Yunqi proudly raised his head.
"Okay, brother, let's go! Let's take your gear and go find some sweet honey!"
"Really?!"
Xie Yunqi rushed towards his long staff in a second, picked it up with a proud and imposing air: "Let's go!"
As a result, because the stick was too long, he couldn't hold it at all, and his center of gravity went out of control and he fell backward.
Sheng Sheng followed him out, lifting her skirt, and was startled by what she saw: "Hey, brother, be careful!"
Xiao Quanzi and Zijuan quickly went to help him, but someone grabbed the long stick first.
Lu Chi lifted the other end of the long stick and looked at Xie Yunqi with disbelief: "What are you doing?"
Xie Yunqi almost tripped and fell, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Lu Chi caught him.
Sheng Sheng felt relieved and looked at Lu Chi, who was dressed in a smart outfit, with some curiosity.
Didn't they say that Lu Chi was so passionate about riding and archery that he had volunteered to participate in the hunt?
The hunt lasts for seven days. During these seven days, participants are free to enter the mountains to hunt. After seven days, the person who hunts the most, the largest, and the most difficult prey will be the winner.
Today is the last day of the seven days. Although Lu Chi is still young and the focus is on participation, since he loves riding and archery so much and has taken the initiative to ask his father for a chance to participate, he should be putting in his best effort to compete. Why isn't he hunting in the mountains at this time?
Xie Yunqi painstakingly adjusted the position of the long stick, then slapped Lu Chi's hand away impatiently: "What are you doing? You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you're definitely up to no good."
Lu Chi said innocently, "I was just helping you up. If it weren't for me, Your Highness, you would have fallen down long ago."
Xie Yunqi rolled his eyes silently: "Who said that? I can keep myself steady on my own."
Lu Chi shrugged, looking at Xie Yunqi, who was dressed strangely, but smiled without saying a word.
Xie Yunqi noticed his gaze and impatiently waved a hand at him: "Go away, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone so handsome before?"
Lu Chi smiled and said, "No, I'm just curious what Your Highness is doing dressed like this."
Xie Yunqi showed off the long stick in his hand: "See this? I made it myself. It can poke a beehive every time."
Lu Chi silently admired it for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness is very skillful. This outfit must have been specially prepared, right? As expected of Your Highness, you are indeed clever and resourceful."
"Hey, you have a good eye. This is indeed a clever idea of mine." Xie Yunqi smiled proudly and let out a soft snort.
For some reason, Sheng Sheng felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little different this time than last time, which could be seen from the fact that Xie Yunqi's attitude towards Lu Chi was not as aggressive.
Sheng Sheng blinked and asked Lu Chi curiously, "Young Master Lu, I heard you're also participating in the hunt. Why aren't you hurrying into the mountains to hunt? Today is the last day!"
Lu Chi's eyes lit up. He stepped closer, lowered his head, and replied, "Your Highness, I was just testing the waters. It's all about participation. I already hunted a deer a few days ago, which is enough for me. So I didn't go up the mountain today."
Lu Chi wasn't lying. He hadn't originally intended to participate; he only came along because his father was there.
It's just that he somehow caused the Second Prince to misunderstand, leading the Second Prince to mistakenly believe that he was eager to participate in the hunt. The Second Prince even went so far as to ask His Majesty for an opportunity for him.
Lu Chi couldn't refuse, thinking that there was no harm in participating and that it would be good to gain experience for the future.
However, he is young and doesn't need to pursue a good ranking. His riding and archery skills are not good enough to surpass those who are several years older than him. He just needs to participate.
So Lu Chi wandered around the area today and unknowingly ended up here, where he happened to come across this scene.
Sheng Sheng nodded in understanding and sincerely praised, "So that's how it is. I heard that the youngest participant in the hunt in previous years was twelve years old, and my brother also participated at the age of twelve. Young Master Lu has already broken the record, being even younger than twelve."
This sounds a bit polite, more like the kind of polite conversation between strangers.
However, Lu Chi didn't notice at all, and his eyes brightened even more.
"Really? Thank you for the compliment, Princess!"
"Uh-huh."
Sheng Sheng nodded with her eyes crinkled, and her dimples appeared faintly.
Lu Chi stared intently for two seconds, then Xie Yunqi pushed him away jealously.
"Hey, what are you doing? We're about to disturb the beehive, what are you doing here?" Xie Yunqi carefully took Shengsheng's hand, avoiding getting her dirty clothes wet. "Little sister, let's go, let's go to the foot of the mountain to find the beehive. Someone said they saw a huge beehive there the day before yesterday!"
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing that Sheng Sheng agreed, Lu Chi quickly said, "Hey, I'll go too, I'll go too."
"Tsk." Xie Yunqi was displeased. "What are you going to do?"
Lu Chi smiled and said, "I know martial arts, I can help you."
Xie Yunqi was a little annoyed with him, and was about to scold him when Shengsheng quickly interrupted her: "Go, go, let's go together!"
With a gentle smile, Sheng Sheng said, "Young Master Lu, let's go together. We're just killing time anyway, why don't we go have some fun together?"
Xie Yunqi was a little reluctant, but since he had already said it, he naturally wouldn't refute his sister's words. He said with great reluctance, "Alright, alright, since my sister agrees, I'll reluctantly agree too."
Lu Chi smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess."
