After seeing the man clearly, she couldn't help but hold the reins, then turned her head away as if she hadn't seen him, and said to Xun Ji and the others, "Let's go."
She didn't expect to meet him here.
Jiang Mo didn't expect to meet her here, and then see her waiting for Li Yuxin, and even see such an intimate scene between the two of them.
He originally came to see off the Fifth Prince, Tan Xi, but because the person sent by the royal family was Gu Jinke, he didn't know how to face him, so he never showed up and deliberately avoided him from the beginning.
But seeing that Fifth Prince Tan Xi had left but she hadn't, Jiang Mo couldn't bear to leave either, so he stayed here, hiding in the dark, wanting to quietly watch her for a while longer. He didn't expect to see such a scene.
His heart suddenly ached and his eyes were sore. He could not control his gaze and emotions for a moment, and then he was discovered by Gu Jinke.
The moment Gu Jinke cast his gaze at him, he dodged in panic, then saw from the corner of his eye that Gu Jinke turned his head away as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't seen him at all.
Jiang Mo's avoidance gaze froze for a moment. Hadn't he already thought of this outcome? Why is it that when her eyes don't stop on him, her heart feels like it's falling into an abyss with no end in sight?
He raised his head in panic, and seeing her leading her men and whipping them to leave, he could not help but open his lips.
"Your Highness!"
But he didn't make any sound in the end, but a clear and cheerful voice called out his lip shape.
Jiang Mo raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Xue Luan.
He was riding a pony, looking very cheerful and happy. He greeted Gu Jinke with great surprise: "Your Highness! I didn't expect to see you here! Did you just send Axin off?"
Gu Jinke heard him say hello and followed the voice to see him. He nodded when he heard his question: "Yes, Master Li just left. Why did Master Xue get here just now?"
According to their relationship, they should have said goodbye reluctantly, so why was Xue Luan so late?
Xue Luan smiled and said, "Axin and I said goodbye to each other a long time ago!"
That's why he didn't come to see him off today. He heard that Gu Jinke was here, so he came here specifically to "run into" him by chance, and fortunately he didn't miss it.
"Your Highness, do you have anything else to do today?" he asked bluntly.
Gu Jinke was really fine. Perhaps the empress was hit hard by Gu Jinxiu's incident. She was lazy these two days and was not in a very good mood. The people below were very good at observing the emperor's expression and were very careful in everything they did. As a result, the entire court became positive and efficient, so Gu Jinke had nothing to do.
After seeing off the Fifth Prince, Tan Xi, and Li Yuxin today, her next move would probably be to return home and rest.
So she shook her head.
Xue Luan's face lit up with a brilliant smile: "Then Your Highness."
He pulled out a bow and arrow from his back, shook it, and looked expectant.
"Check my results! I haven't shown them to you since we arrived at Qingcheng Mansion."
"But you don't have to go on stage, just give me some comments."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the injured parts of Gu Jinke's body, and distress and worry flashed across his eyes.
When he arrived at Qingcheng Mansion, he was in a daze when he was enlightened. He even forgot his original intention of going to Qingcheng Mansion. He just wanted to let Gu Jinke see his riding height.
Therefore, he deliberately avoided His Highness in Qingcheng Mansion and also avoided His Highness's injuries.
It is inevitable to regret and worry now.
Gu Jinke saw the genuine smile on his face, nodded and readily agreed: "Okay, let's go."
Young Master Xue was so confident that Gu Jinke was quite curious about how much progress he had made. After all, he was just a show-off before.
And being with Xue Luan always makes people feel comfortable and happy.
Outside the capital, there are not only royal villas nearby, but officials in the capital also have their own territories. Xue Luan wanted to take Gu Jinke to his own villa.
He rode his horse forward a few steps, then suddenly saw Jiang Mo on the side, and met his eyes.
Xue Luan's grip on the bow suddenly tightened, and he became alert. He pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous.
Although he and Li Yuxin guessed that there was a problem between Gu Jinke and Jiang Mo, they didn't know what the problem was. So when he met Jiang Mo here, he couldn't help but feel wary and alert.
Jiang Mo is a very good person, and also very capable and smart. Xue Luan would treat him as a friend and would also admire him. But when facing His Highness, he would naturally regard him as a love rival.
Because Her Highness is the wife he has chosen, he will not give in to Her Highness.
If Jiang Mo also likes her, he can only fight for her on his own. Xue Luan will never back down on his own initiative!
But he still greeted Jiang Mo: "Brother Jiang Mo, you are here too!"
Jiang Mo nodded, glanced at Xue Luan's expression, and almost saw through his thoughts at once.
He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and even dodged for a second.
Xue Luan thought wrongly of him. He didn't dare to fight for it and let it go.
He is a coward.
When Xue Luan saw that he agreed, he was conflicted for a moment about whether he should invite him as well.
After all, they had met, and the conversation just now was not far away and he didn't lower his voice intentionally, so Jiang Mo probably heard it. And although he and Jiang Mo are now love rivals, they are also friends, so why not invite friends?
But if he invites you, he and His Highness...
Xue Luan was conflicted. The bow in his hand loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again. Finally, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was calm and sincere again.
He looked at Gu Jinke, leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can I invite another person?"
After all, he was the one who invited His Highness first, so he should ask His Highness's opinion. Besides, there was a conflict between the two of them, so he should ask His Highness if he minds.
Gu Jinke didn't look at Jiang Mo, but at Xue Luan: "You are the master, just do as you please."
This matter should not be decided by her.
Xue Luan turned to ask Jiang Mo: "Brother Jiang Mo, His Highness and I are going to the other courtyard to hunt, do you want to go with us?"
He thought it through very clearly. If there was friendship between His Highness and Jiang Mo, his simple refusal to invite them would not be able to stop the two of them. In that case, why didn't he invite them openly instead of being a villain?
Jiang Mo looked at Xue Luan who had a calm face, and felt inferior to him for a moment. He actually didn't have as much courage as Xue Luan, who seemed to be the least worldly-wise. He knew it in his heart.
He shook his head somewhat bewilderedly, his mind suddenly becoming confused: "No need."
He needs to go back and think calmly, is his cowardice really right?
What he saw today gave him a lot of shock.
Li Yuxin seemed to have lost everything and became the son of a criminal, but he dared to express his love clearly in front of everyone.
Xue Luan was wary of him, with helplessness and worry in his eyes, but he never thought of retreating or giving up.
Young Master Qiao from Qingcheng Prefecture, whose background is not as good as the others, dares to say to His Highness "give it a try" and even travels thousands of miles to the capital.
It seemed that everyone was moving forward boldly, but he was the only one who was constantly retreating!
He bit his lower lip and forced a smile: "Thank you, but I remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
He said, whipping away.
Xue Luan was stunned for a moment, and then he only saw Jiang Mo's back in fluttering white clothes.
Gu Jinke glanced at Jiang Mo's receding back, then retracted his gaze and called out to Xue Luan, "Okay, let's go."
Xue Luan nodded and took Gu Jinke to his own manor.
His family's manor is not big, but it is very delicately designed and warm. Xue Luan introduced it to her: "Occasionally my mother would bring my father over to play. My father said that since we are part of the family, we should make it look like a home, so we decorated it to be warm."
Gu Jinke couldn't help but smile. Speaking of which, the award for the model wife and husband for loving couple in the capital should be given to Xue Cang and his wife. Moreover, not only his wife and husband, but also his family, are a model of happiness and perfection. The people in his family always make people feel warm.
For example, the food sent by Xue Luan. Such a family made Gu Jinke couldn't help but feel envious.
Xue Luan had no idea what was going on in Gu Jinke's mind. In order to take care of Jinke's health, he only cordoned off an area on a slightly lower, flat hillside so that Gu Jinke could see him even when sitting in the yard.
He changed into a red riding uniform, took a bow and arrow, and said, "Your Highness, I'm going!"
Gu Jinke nodded.
Xue Luan rode his horse and rushed into the designated area with a bow and arrow. He had indeed practiced hard for a long time, and compared to the abilities that Gu Jinke had seen last time, he had indeed made great progress.
Whether it was controlling the horse or drawing the bow and shooting the arrow accurately, he did it very well and even began to feel like he was doing it with ease. He has a strong figure and wears a red riding suit. From a distance he looks like a ball of fire, galloping in this small world, full of vitality and vigor.
As if he was afraid that Gu Jinke would be bored, he didn't spend much time. He only caught a roe deer and a very clever wild rabbit and came back. His cheeks were flushed and there was some sweat on the tip of his nose, but his big round eyes were shining as he looked at Gu Jinke with anticipation: "Your Highness, how is it?"
His eyes were so bright that Gu Jinke couldn't help but smile and nodded in affirmation: "Very good! This young man is teachable!"
He didn't suddenly become an invincible shooter, but he had made great progress compared to last time. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort and suffered a lot. Such progress surprised Gu Jinke. After all, based on Xue Luan's last level, she could see how pampered Xue Luan was at home. She didn't expect that he really had the perseverance and patience to learn as soon as he said he would.
When Xue Luan heard her praise, he smiled with satisfaction. He handed the rabbit and roe deer in his hand to the servants to clean them and then roasted them over a fire. Turning the rabbit in his hand, he barely suppressed his excitement of being praised and happily shared it with Gu Jinke.
"Actually, I wasn't that good before I left the capital. It was only after constant practice on the way to Qingcheng Prefecture that I became more familiar with it."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Jinke, and seeing that Gu Jinke was looking at him indulgently, he continued, "I didn't know anything at first, but after I found that I wanted to do something, I worked hard to do it, and I gained something. For example, today's riding skills, although they are not particularly good now, are also improvements."
Gu Jinke nodded and affirmed him. What Xue Luan said made sense. If you do something with all your heart, you will definitely achieve results.
"So, Your Highness, I am naive now, and there are still many things I don't understand, but I will learn slowly, just like learning how to ride a horse. I will work very hard to make myself better, stronger, and smarter." Xue Luan looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Gu Jinke heard him say this and saw that he was determined. He couldn't help but clench his fist and encourage his ambition: "I believe in you."
If Xue Luan wants to, looking at his perseverance today, he will naturally grow up to be a very good, powerful and smart young master and realize what he is saying now.
Xue Luan's eyes brightened: "Your Highness, do you believe that I will become very powerful?"
"Of course." Gu Jinke nodded.
"Then Your Highness, can you please wait for me? I will work very hard and quickly become very powerful, and become someone who can match Your Highness, and grow into a king who is worthy of the princess."
Xue Luan looked at Gu Jinke with burning eyes. This was the reason why he wanted to bring Gu Jinke here today to watch him ride a horse. This is what he really wanted to say to Gu Jinke today.
He always knew that he was not as smart and outstanding as Axin and Brother Jiang Mo. He had always been living a mediocre life, and he could have continued like this if he had only been under the protection of his mother and father. But if he wanted to be Gu Jinke's husband, he was far from perfect, so he had to become very powerful in order to be able to stay by her side.
He also knew that His Highness did not truly regard him as his fiancé, so he wanted to explain his inner thoughts to Gu Jinke.
He looked at Gu Jinke with a determined look on his face.
