In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, the triplets of Prince Rong's Mansion were already twenty years old.
Only the Prince of Rong is engaged, while the Prince of Zhenguo is still single.
Princess Rong was not in a hurry at all and just let him do as he pleased.
The one that Princess Rong is most concerned about is Princess Anping Shangguan Yajing. She is also twenty years old and has not yet settled down.
Princess Rong searched all the families in the capital, but found no one that satisfied Princess Anping.
She also held several blind date parties, hoping that one of the boys would catch her daughter's eye.
Finally, the pressure became too great and Princess Anping ran away from home with two guards, saying that she wanted to go out into the world to find a husband.
The end of September, when the weather is clear and cool, is the best time for hunting.
Every three years, the emperor would take royal relatives, court ministers, and young men from various families to hunt in the Yuntaishan area.
Cao Yunting, the granddaughter of Prince Jing, is already thirteen years old. She has inherited her mother's hobby of practicing martial arts.
At a young age, he has mastered swordsmanship.
Liu Yunshu felt particularly pleased every time he saw his daughter practicing sword.
Every time Cao Jinyu looked at him, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Oh, I don’t know whose kid will be harmed in the future.
Back then, he seduced Liu Yunshu to marry him and deceived her by using the excuse that his daughter was marrying into the Rong Palace.
However, the prince of Rong Wangfu and the prince of Zhenguo Hou are seven years older than his daughter. The age gap is so huge that it is impossible for them to wait for his daughter to grow up.
So I never mentioned this.
The two younger ones below are only a few years old and are too young.
The two children after him are both sons, so he can only think about marrying them off.
The emperor was still very young, and his martial arts were not weak either. He would personally go out to hunt prey every time.
There is no war now, so the only opportunity is to take the court officials out hunting to see if everyone has retreated.
Shangguan Ziqi continued to be with the emperor.
The younger generations were free to form groups, and the emperor also set up rewards. The group that hunted more prey would be scored based on size and difficulty.
However, apart from Princess Anping, the only woman in Beijing who could wield a spear or a stick was Cao Yunting from Prince Jing's Mansion.
Princess Anping had run away from home, leaving only Cao Yunting.
She also wanted to go hunting, but her mother would never agree if she went alone.
After thinking about it, I could only sneak out of the camp quietly.
"Miss, it's too dangerous to act alone. There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, including wolves, big bears, and maybe even tigers." Cao Yunting's maid Zhiruo tried her best to dissuade her.
"What are you afraid of? We won't go too far. We'll just walk around the camp and hunt a few rabbits at most. But that's still prey. I've never hunted before in my life. And I'm not alone. Don't you and Zhiluo come with us?" Cao Yunting is fearless.
Her two maids were both fifteen years old and were also good at it. They were specially trained by her mother to be her maids and also guards.
The last time she came to the hunting ground, she was only ten years old. It was impossible for her to go hunting, so she could only chat with her mother and a group of ladies.
Now she is thirteen years old, how can she always be with her mother? She is like a child who has never grown up.
My mother is really something. She has been lazy in recent years. I heard from my grandfather that she used to follow him to go hunting, but since she gave birth to my two younger brothers, I have never seen her wield a sword again.
"Then I, your servant, and the Crown Prince's wife will report this." Zhiluo said as she was about to turn around and leave the tent.
"Stop! Are you stupid? If you tell your mother, will she agree? Let's go quietly." Cao Yunting stopped him immediately.
"But..." Zhiluo looked embarrassed.
"There's nothing to worry about. If we're afraid of danger, we can just follow the young masters and stay closer to them. If we run into danger, we'll just run away. There will always be someone to save us. And wherever they go, they'll kill all the big prey. How can there be any for us?"
Cao Yunting did not give the two maids a chance to persuade her. She went straight out of her grandmother's tent and went to find Liu Yunshu, saying that she wanted to go and play with her little sisters.
Liu Yunshu did not suspect anything and instructed two maids to take good care of the young lady and not let her run around.
The three men quietly took their horses and left the camp.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so the three of them did not walk very fast.
The three of them followed the path the young masters had taken and reached a mountain peak.
To reach the peak, one must first pass through a valley.
The three of them walked and stopped, and actually hunted a few fat rabbits.
"Miss, why do we only see rabbits and not other animals?" Zhiluo was very confused.
It shouldn't be like that.
“Stupid, the other animals were hunted by those men or scared away by them.
They don’t even care about rabbits, so they let us have them for free.”
In fact, Cao Yunting didn't think much of rabbits, but as they walked along, this was the only thing that ran around in front of the three girls.
"Miss, there is a stream in the valley below. Let's wash our fish and roast two to eat. It's almost noon now and we're hungry after walking all the way." Zhiruo suggested.
"Let's go." Cao Yunting also felt hungry.
The three of them came to the creek and began to process the rabbits.
"Miss, didn't you say that we were following behind the young masters? Why didn't I see anyone? Where are they?" Zhiluo was a little scared. She hadn't seen any man so far.
In fact, she was very insecure. She thought that if she encountered danger, the two maids would not be able to protect their master.
"The forest is so dense, can you see people through the trees?" Cao Yunting wondered why her maid was so stupid.
The three of them had a meal of roast rabbit and continued on their way.
They walked upstream along the stream.
"Miss, look."
Suddenly, Zhiruo uttered a low sound and pointed forward.
Cao Yunting looked in the direction she pointed, and her eyes lit up.
"A big wild boar! And it's all alone."
About ten feet away from them, there was an adult wild boar drinking water by the stream.
Cao Yunting estimated the abilities of the three and felt that it would be no problem for the three of them to work together to kill one.
If the three women hunted this wild boar and brought it back, they would definitely be praised by the emperor. They might even be better than some men.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Looking at the wild boar again, it is no longer a wild boar, but glory.
The three of them stopped and did not disturb the wild boar that was drinking water from the creek.
They observed it and found it was indeed that one.
"Move." Cao Yunting said.
The three men drew their swords and rushed forward together at the wild boar that was unaware of the danger that was approaching.
Cao Yunting was very light and rushed to the front.
Stab the wild boar's butt with a sword.
The wild boar, which was drinking water, felt a pain in its buttocks and immediately raised its head, only to see someone attacking it.
Then immediately run away.
There was no way the three women would let it escape.
Divide into three sides and attack with wild boars.
But this was an adult wild boar with extremely thick skin. Every time they stabbed it with their swords, they could only see a small cut, and sometimes there was no blood even.
The wild boar was angry.
Using its greatest ability, it rushed towards them.
That force is so great.
Zhiruo was hit once and flew more than ten feet away.
The wild boar charged several times, but found that it couldn't succeed every time, and the wounds on its body gradually increased.
It began to howl.
It was this howl that made the three girls, who didn't know the habits of wild boars, think that it was about to die.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, they heard the howling of many wild boars coming from not far away.
