"You picked it up?" Xiao Jinyu was very surprised. "Then why didn't I pick it up? I walked around for several times today, but I 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.
"Of course. My brother is the future crown prince. He has a real dragon protecting him and can turn misfortune into safety." Xiao Jinyu's face was full of admiration when he mentioned his brother.
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 spoke quickly 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 indifferently: "Not very 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 allowed her to spend her old age in peace, she would only be responsible for eating and drinking and would not have to do anything else. Maybe she would be moved.
She almost forgot that she was Xiao Jinyan's concubine, so it was useless to be moved.
Xiao Jinyan lifted the door curtain and walked in, and saw Xiao Jinyu sitting next to Shen Chuwei. He walked over with a sullen face, grabbed the back of Xiao Jinyu's collar, and lifted him aside.
"Stand still."
Xiao Jinyu curved her eyebrows 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 when 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 going to give it to my 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 not for my sister-in-law, then who are you going to give 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 Jinyan meant to chase him away, "Brother, I'm not sleepy yet."
Xiao Jinyan: "I need to rest now."
Xiao Jinyu was planning to chat with her brother for a while, but when she heard that he wanted to rest, she 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 picked it up to drink, he saw the wooden cage on the table. The little rabbit was huddled in the corner, looking very scared.
He raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, "Who made the cage?"
"Qin, Xiao." She almost blurted out the 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 needed to go back to recuperate due to a foot injury.
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 so he could feel more at ease since she was under his watch.
All right, you are the prince and you are the most important! 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 be the winner.
Legend has it that the Blood Phoenix is not an ordinary creature from this world. Very few people have seen it. The blood of the Blood Phoenix is more precious than thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum or hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
I heard that it is more nutritious for men to take than deer antler.
The details only exist in ancient books.
The emperor obviously had a difficult problem this time.
Xiao Jinyu originally wanted to go with Xiao Jinyan, but the emperor did not let him go because the queen 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 stretched out his hand towards Shen Chuwei, "Come up."
The second time she sat in Xiao Jinyan's arms, Shen Chuwei had become much calmer.
Xiao Jinyan put one arm around Shen Chuwei's waist and the other hand tightly grasped the reins. He squeezed the horse's belly and the horse started running.
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 horse had been running, but it felt like it was very far away from the camp, and I heard the sound of water.
Xiao Jinyan gradually slowed down.
Shen Chuwei looked around curiously and found a beautiful bird in the grass. 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."
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
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 lightness skills to fly towards the Blood Phoenix.
The blood phoenix seemed to sense danger and flew away flapping its wings.
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 she got off the horse and went in the direction Xiao Jinyan left.
She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them while searching for something.
After walking for about ten minutes, I didn't see Xiao Jinyan, but I saw a bird flying towards me. It hit the tree trunk with a "bang" and then fell into the grass.
The bird flapped its wings a few times on the ground and failed to fly.
Shen Chuwei bent down, 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.
Caught it already? Xiao Jinyan followed the blood phoenix for a while and found that he had lost it. The blood phoenix flew too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He didn't dare to chase her any further, 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 just a moment, Xiao Jinyan stopped in front of Shen Chuwei.
"Your Highness, I have something to show you."
Xiao Jinyan asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
Shen Chuwei untied the knot of the cloth bag and showed it to him.
When Xiao Jinyan looked down, he saw a living blood phoenix in the cloth bag, and 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.
