Chapter 55: The Kinki's Luck Can't Be Stopped

"Picked it up?" Xiao Jinyu was surprised. "Then why didn't I pick one up? I walked around for several rounds today and didn't see such a small rabbit."

"Your Highness is lucky." Shen Chuwei sat down on the couch, then lay on his side with a soft pillow under him. It was most comfortable to lie down after eating and drinking enough.

"Of course, my brother is the future crown prince. He has a real dragon to protect him. He can turn danger into good fortune and turn misfortune into safety." When Xiao Jinyu mentioned his brother, his face was full of admiration.

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement.

"You don't know that when my brother was sent to another country as a hostage, he almost lost his life..."

Xiao Jinyu was quick-witted and when he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have, he quickly shut up.

Shen Chuwei glanced at Xiao Jinyu, "What happened to your brother?"

Xiao Jinyu came over and said, "How about you be my bodyguard?"

Shen Chuwei said calmly: "Not so good."

Xiao Jinyu looked puzzled: "Why? I'll give you double the money."

"It has nothing to do with money." Shen Chuwei crossed her legs. If someone would take care of her until the end of her life, and she would only be responsible for eating and drinking and wouldn't have to do anything else, she might be moved.

I almost forgot that she is Xiao Jinyan's concubine, so it's useless to be attracted to her.

When Xiao Jinyan opened the curtain and walked in, he saw Xiao Jinyu sitting next to Shen Chuwei. He walked over with a sullen face, lifted Xiao Jinyu by the back of his collar and lifted him aside.

"Stand still."

Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "Brother, you're back."

When Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan coming back, she had to get up from the couch, because there were many rules in the ancient palace, and the prince was equivalent to her master. How could a concubine like her lie down if the master didn't sit?

Xiao Jinyu pointed at the gray rabbit on the table and asked, "Brother, where did you find such a small rabbit? It's very cute. Are you planning to give it to your sister-in-law?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shen Chuwei, and Shen Chuwei also looked at Xiao Jinyan. She blinked her beautiful big eyes. Does it have anything to do with her?

Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze, "No."

"If you don't give it to my sister-in-law, then who are you giving it to?" Xiao Jinyu thought for a while and suddenly thought of something: "Oh, I know, it's for Chang Liangdi."

Xiao Jinyan only said four words coldly, "Go back and rest."

Xiao Jinyu didn't realize that Xiao Jin was trying to scare him away, "Brother, I'm not sleepy yet."

Xiao Jinyan: "I need to rest now."

Xiao Jinyu was planning to chat with Ge for a while longer, but when he heard that he wanted to rest, he just nodded and said, "Oh, I'll go back first."

Then he walked out reluctantly.

Xiao Jinyan walked to the table and sat down. He picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea. When he raised his hand to drink, he saw the wooden cage on the table. The little rabbit was curled up in the corner, looking terrified.

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, "Who made the cage?"

"Qin, Xiao." She almost uttered the three words "Brother Qin", but fortunately she reacted quickly enough.

Xiao Jinyan didn't ask any more questions. He stared at the gray rabbit for a while, then put down the teacup and went to take a bath.

It was not until the next morning that Shen Chuwei heard the news that Chang Liangdi had returned to Beijing because she had injured her foot and needed to go back to recuperate.

After serving Xiao Jinyan breakfast, Shen Chuwei planned to go back to sleep, but she heard Xiao Jinyan say, "Today, you go with me."

Xiao Jinyan was afraid that Shen Chuwei would run around like she did yesterday, so he took her with him and felt more at ease since she was under his watch.

Okay, you are the prince and you are the boss!

Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan out of the tent.

Today is the second day of hunting. The emperor asked the eleven princes to continue the competition. Whoever can catch the blood phoenix will win.

Legend has it that the Blood Phoenix is ​​not an ordinary creature, and very few people have seen it. The blood of the Blood Phoenix is ​​more precious than the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum or the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

I heard that it is more beneficial for men to take it than deer antler.

The details only exist in ancient books.

The emperor obviously encountered a problem this time.

Xiao Jinyu originally wanted to go with Xiao Jinyan, but the emperor did not allow him to go because the empress had instructed the emperor to do so.

The eleven princes went into the hunting ground separately.

Shen Chuwei watched Xiao Jinyan grab the saddle with one hand and mount the horse, his posture handsome and neat.

Xiao Jinyan extended his hand to Shen Chuwei, "Come up."

"Yes, sir." Shen Chuwei placed his hand on Xiao Jinyan's and was easily led onto the horse by him.

The second time she sat in Xiao Jinyan's arms, Shen Chuwei had become much calmer.

Xiao Jinyan held Shen Chuwei's waist with one hand and held the reins tightly with the other hand. He squeezed the horse's belly and the horse started to run.

With nothing else to do, Shen Chuwei asked, "Your Highness, what does the Blood Phoenix look like?"

Xiao Jinyan: "I have never seen one, but I heard it is somewhat similar to a phoenix."

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "Oh, then she should be very beautiful, right?"

Xiao Jinyan: "Maybe."

I didn't know how long the horses had been running, but it felt like they were far away from the camp and I could hear the sound of water.

Xiao Jinyan gradually slowed down.

Shen Chuwei looked around curiously and found a beautiful bird in the bushes. The bird had three whiskers on its head and the area around its eyes was red.

She tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve, pointed at the bushes and said, "Your Highness, look at that bird. It's so beautiful."

Xiao Jinyan looked in the direction of Shen Chuwei's finger and saw the beautiful bird in her mouth. Its shape was somewhat similar to that of a phoenix, but it was smaller.

The appearance is very consistent with what is recorded in ancient books.

"It could be the Blood Phoenix."

Shen Chuwei was a little bit unbelieving, "Is this the Blood Phoenix? Isn't it said to be hard to find?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Just sit still and don't move. I'll go catch it."

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, "I understand."

Xiao Jinyan used his Qinggong skills to fly towards the Blood Phoenix.

The Blood Phoenix seemed to have sensed danger and flew away with its wings flapping.

Xiao Jinyan chased after him, but soon he disappeared.

Shen Chuwei waited for a long time, but didn't see Xiao Jinyan coming back, so he got off the horse and went in the direction Xiao Jinyan left.

She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them while searching for something.

After walking for about ten minutes, I didn't see Xiao Jinyan but saw a bird flying towards me. It hit the tree trunk with a "bang" and then fell into the grass.

The bird fluttered on the ground a few times but failed to fly.

Shen Chu bent down slightly, grabbed the bird's wings and lifted it up. After looking at it carefully for a few times, he confirmed that it was the blood phoenix that Xiao Jinyan had mentioned.

Is this the catch?

Xiao Jinyan followed the Blood Phoenix for a while and found that he had lost it. The Blood Phoenix flew so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He didn't dare to continue chasing, fearing that it would be too dangerous for Shen Chuwei to stay there, so he returned the same way.

Shen Chuwei took out a cloth bag from the space, stuffed the Blood Phoenix into the bag, and looked up to see Xiao Jinyan flying towards her on the branches.

After a moment, Xiao Jinyan stopped in front of Shen Chuwei.

"Your Highness, I have something to show you."

Xiao Jinyan asked in confusion: "What is it?"

Shen Chuwei untied the knot of the cloth bag and showed it to him.

Xiao Jinyan looked down and saw a living blood phoenix in the cloth bag. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking air.

Xiao Jinyan hugged Shen Chuwei's waist and dodged to the side. An arrow feather flew past his shoulder.

An arrow shot accurately towards Xiao Jinyan's chest.

At this moment, Shen Chuwei suddenly stood up and blocked the oncoming arrow for Xiao Jinyan.
