Chapter 21 Lingyu
The spring hunt was held near Qingluan Mountain as usual.
The mountains are not very high, and forests are spread all over the mountains. Animals often appear in the mountains, but there are no particularly dangerous beasts.
After all, the participants of the annual spring hunt are all princes, princesses, and young men and women from all walks of life in the capital. The Royal Guards have to check for all dangerous factors three days before the spring hunt, and there is not even a poisonous grass on the mountain.
Outside the forest, the emperor, empress and two favorite concubines were sitting at the banquet. Most of the younger generation were wearing riding clothes, eager to try out the spring hunt.
Whoever hunts the most prey will receive a reward from His Majesty.
Winning the first place will not only win the favor of His Majesty, but also bring honor to the entire family.
The princes and princesses naturally also wanted their father to treat them favorably.
However, there was an unexpected person joining the spring hunt this time.
Prince Yong Lingyu.
His Royal Highness Prince Yong just returned to Beijing yesterday and caught up with the spring hunt today.
Prince Yong is the younger brother of the current emperor and the youngest son of the late emperor.
Prince Yong was intelligent, and the late emperor's favorite was this youngest son. Even when Prince Yong was only nine years old, the late emperor had expressed his intention to make him the crown prince.
However, the late emperor fell seriously ill and passed away too early. Prince Yong was too young at that time, so he passed the throne to the current emperor.
There have always been rumors among the people that the late emperor left a will, saying that when Prince Yong reached the age of 28, His Majesty would pass the throne to Prince Yong.
It is rumored that Prince Yong was born with a noble destiny and was the son of destiny.
And now, Prince Yong is already twenty-seven years old.
I don’t know if it’s to reassure the emperor or for some other reason, but she remains unmarried to this day.
Over the years, King Yong has been holding military power and guarding the border.
Not long ago, the emperor summoned him back to Kyoto. On the surface, it was because the empress dowager missed her son, but the real reason was known to everyone.
"Ayu, don't underestimate these youngsters. Many of them have real abilities." The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, your words don't look down on those kids, but you look down on me." Ling Yu raised the wine cup and saluted the person at the top of the table from a distance.
The emperor and Prince Yong chatted and laughed.
At the banquet, Ling Qingyan's eyes swept over Prince Yong.
He was tall and straight, with a handsome face. He looked much younger than other men of his age. Compared with Pei Wuyou and the others, his face showed a calmness and determination tempered by time. He spoke without making a mistake, and his every move showed the dignity of a superior.
[Host, this is Prince Yong. You must remember not to let the heroine save Prince Yong. This is the last male protagonist. There is a problem with the system, and he can no longer accompany the host. Sorry, host.]
[Host, please remember, when your favorability reaches over 60%, do not let them know you are still coaxing others, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted. The personality system of these male protagonists cannot be predicted.]
[Now that the plot has been changed by the host, the system can no longer help the host. From now on, the host can only rely on himself to deal with various emergencies.]
[Wait, what do you mean, you don't care about me anymore?! I don't feel safe if you don't care about me. Besides, how would I know their favorability?!]
[Host, your favorability system still exists. You can see the favorability of the five male protagonists at any time. When each reaches 100%, the system will send the host back to the real world.]
"But if you fail, you, the host, will have to stay in this world. However, every world is real. Even if you fail, you can still live a wonderful life in this world. You are the most positive and optimistic host I have ever met. I believe you can handle any situation!"
"I'm adaptable, but can you please stay with me? It would be nice if you could just stay with me."
Even if I accompany the host, I can't provide any useful information for the host. The story has already changed and is in progress. This world is no longer compatible with the system. I can't stay, host. Time is almost up. Goodbye, host. I wish you all the best.
Goodbye...Goodbye
Ling Qingyan felt a little sad.
The mechanical voice in her head disappeared, and she was actually a little scared.
There was no one to accompany her, no one to give her clear tasks, no one to give her reference advice and tell her whether what she was doing was right.
She has to experience, break through, and face everything, the unknown and the challenges on her own.
She really integrated into this world.
Ling Qingyan looked for Chen Mansheng in panic. Chen Mansheng was sitting in the middle seat with Chen Chuo sitting next to him.
Chen Chuo actually noticed her gaze before Chen Mansheng did, and toasted her with a glass of wine from a distance with a smile on his face.
Then Chen Mansheng also noticed Ling Qingyan's gaze. There seemed to be some sadness in Qingyan's eyes. Chen Mansheng was a little worried about Qingyan, but because of the banquet, he couldn't go directly to the princess.
Just wait until hunting.
Ling Qingyan was wearing a red riding suit with tight sleeves, her ponytail tied high, her posture upright, her heroic demeanor, and her extraordinary temperament and peach-like appearance made it easy for people to notice her at first glance.
Ling Qingyan was exchanging glances with Chen Mansheng at the moment and did not notice the other burning gazes on her.
Shen Chuo noticed it.
It was his first time to participate in such a grand event as the Royal Spring Hunt and his first time to meet so many distinguished guests.
Actually it’s not that bad.
None of them were as good as the first noble person he met.
However, there were many covetous eyes around His Highness. Chen Chuo had a playful smile on his lips and swept over those eyes calmly.
That hostage guard, General Ji, Tutor Mu, and... the Crown Prince?
interesting.
It's really interesting to be around Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"You can all enter the mountain in three hours. Everyone must remember to pay attention to your own safety. If I find out who is violent and evil, I will never let them off easily!" said the emperor.
He may not know about others, but he knows how many disobedient children he has.
The ugly truth must be said upfront!
At the banquet, the elders accompanied His Majesty in chatting, laughing and enjoying the scenery.
And Mu Taifu, who was not good at riding and shooting.
Wait for them to come back in three hours.
After the banquet, Ling Qingyan ran towards Chen Mansheng, held her hand, and leaned on her with some dependence.
She was a little scared and she was looking for a sense of security from her.
Chen Mansheng didn't know what was going on, but he still patted her on the back to comfort her.
"Did anyone cause you any trouble, Your Highness?"
Chen Mansheng had always been worried that His Highness had offended the Seventh Prince by saving the hostage and that they would be retaliated against. Now, seeing Ling Qingyan's expression, her heart tightened.
"No, I'm just in a bad mood and want to lean on you." Ling Qingyan rarely looked so sad. Chen Mansheng's heart softened a little and he accepted her dependence.
Not only did her heart soften, but everyone else's hearts softened as well.
For example, the guard Pei Wuyou who had always been by her side said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? If you don't feel well, we won't go in."
