Today is the day to set off for the hunting ground. Helian Sheng wanted to prepare in advance, so he took Su He with him and left first.
Duan Qingxi had promised Duan Sijin that she would also attend the hunting competition. After getting herself ready, she asked Xuan Yi and Xuan Er to send her back as quickly as possible.
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin were very bothered by the fact that Helian Sheng took Duan Qingxi away, but since the other party was a prince, they couldn't say anything.
But the hunting competition was about to begin, and Duan Qingxi had not returned yet, so they could no longer remain calm.
Just as he was about to go to the house to snatch the person away, Duan Qingxi came back.
Duan Hong's face darkened as he asked, "Have you been with the prince these past few days?!"
Duan Qingxi was very familiar with this expression. She chuckled, grabbed Duan Hong's arm, and said coquettishly, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? I've been praying for you and my brother in the temple the whole time. How could I be with the Ninth Prince?"
Her excuse was so ridiculous that Duan Hong naturally wouldn't believe it.
But after catching a glimpse of the toad blood on her arm, he didn't say anything.
Duan Qingxi had no interest in the hunting competition, nor in ancient men, so when Duan Hong asked her to dress up well, she didn't take it seriously at all.
He just found a simple piece of clothing to put on, and then took a few sets of clothes that were more convenient to change into, a fire starter, and various kinds of elixirs, and then set off.
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin knew from looking at her that she had no intention of getting married.
But it’s not easy to say too much, so I just let her go.
Duan Qingxi was a female member of the family, so she sat in the carriage all the way.
The carriage was shaking and very uncomfortable to sit in, which made Duan Qingxi feel listless all the way and not happy at all.
When we arrived at the place, the tents had already been set up and the space had been allocated.
The ministers all went to listen to the emperor's lecture, and the accompanying family members naturally stayed in the tent and did what they were supposed to do.
As soon as Duan Qingxi arrived at the place, he felt very dizzy and fell asleep without saying a word.
Qiao Yun seemed a little helpless. Why was her master different from other masters? He was not in a hurry about her marriage at all?
When I woke up, it was already getting dark and Qiao Yun had just brought back some food.
After seeing that she was awake, he said happily, "Miss, you're awake? The emperor said that the hunting competition will last for three days. Today is not counted because everyone is preparing. Therefore, the hunting will officially start tomorrow!"
After a pause, she continued, "When I went to get food just now, I took a peek. I heard that all the princes and nobles in the capital are here, and they are all very handsome! Miss, do you want to go and take a look after you finish eating?"
Duan Qingxi was naturally very hungry after waking up. He ate while mumbling, "Let's talk about it later..."
But after eating and drinking, Duan Qingxi lay on the couch motionless.
The reason is that I was too full and couldn't move.
Qiao Yun was so angry. How could their young lady be so lazy?
But fortunately, Duan Sijin took action and came over to forcibly pull the man out.
Duan Qingxi was exhausted. She looked at Duan Sijin's infuriatingly handsome face and said, "Brother, are you really eager for me to get married quickly so I don't get in your way?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Sijin stopped and tapped Duan Qingxi lightly on the head, feigning anger and saying, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Duan Qingxi covered his head, which didn't hurt, and pursed his lips.
Duan Sijin added, "Father is right. There are many sons of powerful families in the capital, but not many are your age. If you don't hurry up, how can you find a good husband?"
What's more, Duan Qingxi is still a concubine's daughter. If you want her to become the principal wife, you have to take the initiative first, otherwise she will suffer some losses as a concubine.
If I can't give birth to a son in the future, life at home will be even more difficult.
