Chapter 506 Cold Arrows

The cold attitude of the Fifth Prince was very hurtful to outsiders.

Yan Qingqing tugged at the sleeve of the Third Prince: "Brother Third Prince, don't be sad. It's not that the Fifth Prince doesn't welcome you. He just... he doesn't like me."

The Third Princess was the "eyeball" sister of all the princes. Of course, she didn't mean to be jealous. She also loved Sister Ming Lan very much.

She just wanted to tell the Third Prince that it was because she almost hurt Sister Ming Lan that the Fifth Prince didn't like her.

As soon as she finished her words, the Fifth Prince frowned and glared at the girl fiercely: "Such a noise."

Yan Qingqing was so scared that she stood up straight and said quickly: "Brother Third Prince, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I'll leave first."

Before she finished the last sentence, her back had already been behind the bushes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The third prince smiled and sat down next to the fifth prince: "Do you like me?"

"Wow!"

The dark figure seemed to be stung by something and sat up from the green grass. A suspicious blush appeared on the cold white skin. He spit out the dogtail grass in his mouth and dodged his eyes: "You...what are you talking about? Mind your own business!"

Because he was too anxious and excited, he couldn't pronounce his words clearly.

"Hey..."

The third prince was not bothered. There was spring in front of him, and the gurgling stream was in his ears. Lying here to bask in the sun was indeed a good thing.

Occasionally, a large number of startled birds flew out of the forest. It should be the princes and their guards hunting.

Yan pouted lightly. The boss was unhappy. He didn't get the third prince, didn't get to eat the roasted rabbit, and was inexplicably beaten by the fifth brother.

How could I be so unlucky?

She picked up a branch and whipped the air randomly, as if she mistook the air for the ferocious Fifth Prince.

"Tuttt! Tuttt! Tuttt..." The sound

of horse hooves gradually became louder. Yan Qingqing turned around and saw a black-clothed and black-haired boy riding a horse towards her.

His slanted and handsome eyebrows, his narrow and cold eyes, and his angular features all gave off the message that he was not easy to get along with.

The galloping horse whizzed past Yan Qingqing, and the dust raised made the girl close her eyes.

"Swish——"

The sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the sky.

The fifth prince moved his left ear and kicked his feet on the horse's back. When the arrow was about to hit Yan Qingqing's vest, the young man was like a whirlwind, holding the person in his arms, and rolled on the ground for several circles before stopping.

Where Yan Qingqing had just stood, there was an ordinary black feather arrow stuck in it.

There was a "rumbling" sound of a horse team approaching, and everyone was shooting. Yan Qingqing didn't even know where the arrow came from.

But she knew that it was the fifth prince who saved her.

"Girl!"

Hongguo screamed, and rushed over belatedly, wanting to help her own girl up: "Girl, are you okay?"

The fifth prince stood up, revealing the terrified girl under him, and looked at the forest with a gloomy and terrifying look.

Yan Qingqing thought she was going to be scolded again. After being helped up by Hongguo, she didn't dare to look into the eyes of the Fifth Prince. She said, "Thank you...thank you, Fifth Brother."

The feeling of fear came over her, and the girl's hands were shaking at her side.

She was very afraid of death.

But unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince did not blame her this time. Instead, he took off his cloak and swung it in a beautiful arc in the air, and draped it over her slightly dirty dress: "Ride my horse and go back first."

In his eyes, Yan Qingqing saw danger.

Without too much argument, she nodded, rode his horse, and left with the maid.

As soon as she left, the prince's guards flew out of the woods, led by Jing Fengjie, the second son of the third branch of the Jing family.

He is young, but of high seniority. To be honest, the emperor's biological mother is Jing Fengjie's aunt, and the emperor is his cousin. Even the crown prince has to call him "cousin uncle". The

current Jing family has restored the glory of its heyday more than 20 years ago.

After all, it is the emperor's real in-laws, and the emperor will give them special treatment in many things.

Jing Fengjie glanced at the fifth prince and had no intention of getting off the horse. Instead, he sat on the horse and looked down at him and said, "Fifth prince, just now we saw a jumping rabbit coming here. When we wanted to shoot it, it seemed to have run away. Did you see it, fifth prince?"

He did it on purpose!

The fifth prince was not used to him either, and he sneered directly: "You can't even catch rabbits, and you still have the nerve to ask this prince, it's so funny."

"You..."

The guards behind Jing Fengjie couldn't hear it, and said angrily: "How do you talk to our boss? Do you really think you are so great? If it weren't for the kindness of our Queen Mother, do you think you, a poor prince exiled by the emperor, could get out of the imperial mausoleum?"

The Jing family is the emperor's real mother's family. Their eldest's grandfather was the prince's tutor, and the eldest himself was the prince's guard appointed by the emperor.

Why is he, the fifth prince, so arrogant?

"Bang!"

"Ugh..."

A stone flew straight at the guard's face. The fifth prince still had that dead fish face: "It's not your turn as a watchdog to shout here."

The guard was knocked off his horse, his teeth were knocked out, and his mouth was full of blood.

The person who shot the arrow was Jing Fengjie. The fifth prince knew that his father was lenient to the Jing family. Even if he wanted to investigate, his father would make a big deal out of a small matter.

He turned around, not wanting to get too entangled with a sinister villain like Jing Fengjie.

"Swoosh!"

The black-feathered arrow shot straight into the fifth prince's bun, and the black-clothed boy tilted his body to the side, supported the ground with one hand, and kicked the arrow with one foot. The black-feathered arrow turned the arrow head and directly inserted it into the golden crown on Jing Fengjie's head.

"Puff!"

Someone couldn't help laughing, but then thought of himself as Jing Fengjie's man, so he held back the laughter.

Looking at Jing Fengjie's horrified expression, the fifth prince shook his messy hair after exercise, and prepared to leave with a brisk pace.

"Shen Mingsheng, your strength is not worthy of your ambition. Stay away from Yan Qingqing. She can only be the Crown Princess."

If she wasn't the Crown Princess, and married any prince, the Jing family would send her to hell.

The Fifth Prince paused, turned around and glared at Jing Fengjie. There were a few "greetings" in his throat, but he didn't say them in the end and left without saying a word.

"Boss..."

Jing Fengjie pulled out the arrow on his head and said gloomily, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind, which has encouraged the ambitions of these people, but it doesn't matter. I am His Highness the Crown Prince's cousin. His Highness doesn't care. I will keep a close eye on him and will never let anyone threaten his position as the crown prince."

The Fifth Prince is the legitimate son of the late Queen. Although he was adopted, there are still many remnants of the Zhu family in the court. The late Queen's younger brother Zhu Qianyi married the legitimate daughter of Concubine Jiang Shufei's family.

In recent years, the relationship between the five princes has become increasingly close, and the Jing family has to be on guard.

After all, the Zhu family has a precedent of rebellion.
