Circumventing the Great Firewall?
Entering the hunting grounds?
Huaiyao was shocked: "Are you out of your mind?"
There are many ferocious beasts in this hunting ground.
Was she not clear enough, or has Princess Acha lost her mind?
Huaiyao pinched herself to confirm that it was the latter.
"Acha." Haolie frowned, leading the horse. "Don't... do anything reckless!"
If they could have gone in, they would have entered the hunting grounds with the other hunters just now.
They were Northern Di people, visiting the Great Qi. The Great Qi was terrified that something might happen to them, triggering a war between the two countries...
In the hunting grounds, arrows have no eyes.
Moreover, wild beasts are even more dangerous...
The brother and sister could only wander around the outskirts of the hunting grounds.
Acha said with great regret, “Brother, we’ve come all this way to Daqi, and I’m just curious about the hunting grounds!”
We Northern Di people hunt rabbits and eagles, which is so boring!
I've never seen the primeval forest hunting grounds of the Great Qi Kingdom, and I just want to take a look..."
"Not even a glance...!" Hao Lie said sternly, "Acha, if you don't listen to me, your brother will get angry!"
"When I get angry, I'll have someone... send you back to the Northern Barbarians!"
"Brother!" Acha exclaimed in surprise.
Taking a look at the hunting grounds isn't a big deal, so why is it so serious that she has to be sent back to the Northern Di?
Haolie said sternly, "Listen to me!"
Acha was so angry that he spun around in a circle.
With his hands behind his back, Huaiyao looked at the tall wall and said to Acha, "It is indeed dangerous inside these walls."
Even I, the princess, dare not enter; you all should just forget about it.
Yuan Yao frowned and looked at the wall.
Even Huaiyao is afraid of what's inside?
Will Father be in danger?
I wonder how many guards he brought in?
With Shadow and other bodyguards around, he's probably safe, right?
"well……"
The little boy sighed.
Huaiyao turned her head to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Yao puffed out her cheeks: "I'm worried about my father..."
"The Ninth Prince?" Huaiyao raised his chin: "Of all people to worry about, why the Ninth Prince?"
Among those entering the hunting grounds, whose martial arts skills can match his?
Even a fierce tiger couldn't defeat him.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Fear.
Please don't let Huaiyao's words be a jinx.
Even if the Nine Thousand Years Old is incredibly powerful, he is still just a mortal.
Even a minor injury will hurt him!
Fearing that Acha might cause trouble, Haolie took the horse and said to Yuan Yao and Huaiyao, "Let's go ride horses."
"Let's go."
Huaiyao beckoned, and someone brought out a horse of medium size.
Acha stood beneath the high wall, his face filled with regret and resentment.
The Great Qi was incredibly wealthy; even its hunting grounds were surrounded by several mountains, with high and large walls built as if they were impregnable fortresses...
What exactly is off-limits in the Royal Hunting Grounds?
What's more, even the two most esteemed people in the Great Qi Dynasty—the Emperor and the Ninth Prince—have been admitted!
The more they tried to prevent him from entering, the more restless Acha's heart became...
"Acha!" Haolie walked quite a distance before turning back to look at his sister.
Acha pouted, flicked her skirt, and strode after him, saying, "I'm here."
Yuan Yao looked at Acha with a sense of helplessness.
This Northern Di princess was even more curious about the Great Qi than she was!
Yuan Yao was small and walked slowly.
Seeing this, Huaiyao stopped the horse and asked, "Shall I carry you?"
Yuan Yao shook her head: "It's okay, I can keep up."
Although Huaiyao is growing up fast, she is still a girl who is not even ten years old. Leading the horse is already tiring enough, and carrying her in your arms would be too much of a strain.
At this moment, Haolie looked at Yuan Yao: "Shall I... carry the princess away?"
ah……
Yuan Yao looked at Hao Lie.
Haolie is now over twelve years old. In addition, the Northern Di people have large frames, so compared to Huaiyao, he is very tall and reliable.
However, Yuan Yao wasn't used to being hugged by unfamiliar men...
The rejection was too obvious; it didn't give Haolie any face.
If she doesn't refuse, she'll feel uncomfortable.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Yao said softly, "Thank you, Prince Haolie, but Yao'er would like to walk around by herself."
"Alright." Haolie smiled at her.
Yuan Yao walked with great seriousness, her short legs barely touching the ground.
Haolie and Huaiyao deliberately slowed down to wait for her.
Acha caught up and asked, "Brother, Huaiyao, how are you planning to compete?"
Hao Lie looked at Huai Yao: "Princess...how do you want to compete?"
Huaiyao looked around at her family's large meadow, feeling uncertain but full of confidence: "I'm fine with anything!"
After she finished speaking, her gaze began to wander, looking around.
Hao Lie looked at Huai Yao seriously: "When in Rome, do as the host says. The princess decides."
Should guests follow the host's lead?
Wouldn't that make it seem like she's bullying someone?
Huaiyao looked at Yuan Yao: "Little Yao, why don't you help us decide?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Huh? This...
She just wanted to watch the game properly!
She's having such a hard time...
After looking around the vast grassland, Yuan Yao suggested, "Why don't you have a competition of picking flags and beating drums?"
A flag is planted on the other side of the meadow. Whoever pulls down the flag first and returns to beat the drum wins.
As soon as she finished speaking, Acha asked, "Why not just take the flag and win? Whoever pulls the flag first wins."
"I think...the princess's method is better." Hao Lie glanced at Huai Yao and said with a smile, "Princess, shall we have a competition?"
"Compare!" Huaiyao raised her hand and poked Yuan Yao's little bun on her head: "You have the most ideas! Cheer me on!"
Yuan Yao's proposed competition method was completely biased towards her, giving her more opportunities to win.
This little girl...
She didn't suffer in vain.
Huaiyao raised an eyebrow smugly, stepped into the stirrups, mounted his horse, and looked down at Haolie standing there: "Haolie, come on."
After speaking, Huaiyao spurred his horse and took it for a spin.
The horses reared up and frolicked happily on the grassland.
The girl in red, radiant and spirited in the morning sunlight...
Yuan Yao watched with great envy.
She also longs to grow up quickly so she can ride horses freely!
She reached out and pinched the chubby little hand on her waist.
The flesh, with its fair and tender skin, instantly turned red and was somewhat painful.
Yuan Yao gasped softly, "Hiss..."
This body is far too delicate!
This is probably what is meant by "delicate and soft-bodied"?
On the grassland, Huaiyao was walking his horse, and Haolie, not to be outdone, leaped onto his horse.
The bright blue robe was dazzling in the sunlight.
Young boys and girls gallop on horseback in the wind.
What a beautiful sight!
sweet!
Yuan Yao felt like she had stumbled again.
Just then, the sunlight was blocked, and Acha, standing beside her, laughed and said, "I didn't realize Huaiyao's horsemanship was so good!"
“Yes, that’s right. Sister Huaiyao is also very good at horseback riding.” Yuan Yao said with a smile, her eyes following Huaiyao.
Acha played with the reins in his hand and said with a proud look, "However, Huaiyao is not as good as my brother!"
Yuan Yao blinked.
Haolie grew up on horseback, while Huaiyao was raised in the deep palace from a young age.
As a princess, it's already quite impressive that Huaiyao can ride a horse so well!
After watching for a moment, Acha said to Huaiyao, "You keep an eye on it, I'm going to take a ride too."
If my brother asks, just say I'll be back soon..."
After saying that, he had already mounted his horse and ridden away.
"Princess Acha!" Yuan Yao exclaimed.
Ah Cha, are you planning something?
