Yinzhen also had a great harvest this time. He hadn't exercised for a long time, but he was in high spirits today. He ran around outside for a while and shot one prey after another. He planned to eat the prey he had hunted tonight.
The group chattered excitedly.
Seeing Hongzhao's excited expression, Changning couldn't help but chuckle and whispered, "What? Did you win your bet with Naritai?"
Hongzhao stared wide-eyed at Changning with an incredulous look, as if to say, "Mother, how did you know?"
Changning then looked at him and asked a question.
Hongzhao could only scratch his head, unable to contain his excitement: "We won! We won!"
After saying that, she looked around and whispered in Changning's ear, "Na Ritai even imitated a pig's squeal! Hahahahahaha!"
Changning found it hilarious to see him laughing so hard: "How can you bully girls like that? Making girls squeal like pigs, you really came up with something like that."
Hongzhao immediately felt very wronged: "It has nothing to do with me! She was the one who proposed the bet first. She said the loser had to squeal like a pig!"
His rebuttal was overheard by those around him, and Hutuli was the first to come over: "What's wrong? You mean that little Mongolian princess? I was wondering why she looked so angry? She looked like she wanted to whip you in the face."
Hongzhao was shocked again and turned to look at Hutuli: "How did you know that too?"
Hongyan then calmly added, "I saw it too. You almost made Naritai cry. She even said she wanted her brother to compete with you tomorrow. You even betrayed me, saying I should compete with her brother."
Hongzhao was getting confused. Everyone already knew! Did that mean they'd know he was barking like a dog too?
Oh my god, my pride!
?_?
However, Hongzhao quickly tugged at Hongyan's sleeve: "Brother! Brother! You'll definitely help me tomorrow, right? You and her brother have a competition! This time, we're betting that you have to crawl like a tortoise in public! I can't lose! I'll be so embarrassed if I lose!"
Changning felt both helpless and amused: "Why are you two competing again? It's like you're a pair of bickering lovers."
Hutuli chimed in, "I think Hongzhao just can't sit still. If Hongqing came over, he would have someone to deal with. Now that Hongqing isn't here, he doesn't know how to stir up trouble."
Upon hearing this, Honghui, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, Hongqing was his good brother, but Hongzhao was his own younger brother.
He was torn between his good friend and his younger brother, and he privately told Hongqing to stop targeting Hongzhao.
However, the feud between Hongqing and Hongzhao had already begun long ago and could not be resolved in a few words.
Moreover, Hongqing was dedicated to pushing Honghui to the throne and ousting his younger brothers. In his mind, only Honghui was worthy of being the heir, just as only he himself was worthy of being the crown prince.
Honghui no longer has any desire to fight for power and profit. He feels that he can't win anyway, and it would only hurt the relationship between father and son, and between brothers. Why bother?
However, Hongqing was a bit stubborn, which gave him a headache.
Hongzhao was still pleading with Hongyan, hoping that he would definitely help him tomorrow.
Hongyan held him up for a while before slowly saying, "It's not impossible for me to help you, but you have to do ten geometry problems first."
"ah?"
Hongzhao's face immediately scrunched up in a bitter expression. Geometry was a new subject he was learning, and the knowledge within it gave him a headache, making him feel like he was going to lose his hair.
But when he thought about the bet, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Even so, it's still better than being a tortoise, right?
Changning wanted to say something, but this was ultimately a matter between children, and it was best for adults not to interfere.
Because children have their own world, and even though Changning is their mother, she cannot barge in.
That evening, the imperial kitchen delivered a particularly sumptuous meal. Changning's mouth watered at the sight of the braised rabbit. Seeing her still craving food like a child, Yinzhen smiled even more and personally served her some dishes.
After a satisfying meal, everyone went back to rest.
Yinzhen, however, took Changning's hand and wanted to take her for a walk under the moon.
Changning was already sleepy after eating, and feeling dizzy from the meal made her even less inclined to move. But Yinzhen firmly held her hand: "No, you can't sleep. You ate so much meat tonight, if you don't take a walk to digest, it'll get stuck in your stomach and make you feel uncomfortable. Don't cry if you have a stomachache!"
Changning pouted, but had no choice but to change her clothes and go out for a walk with him.
The two walked to a grassland not far away. Looking up, they saw the cool, clear moonlight, which almost illuminated the entire Mulan Hunting Ground. Changning thought to herself, "What a beautiful sight! I haven't seen such a clear starry sky and moonlight in a long time. The unpolluted environment of ancient times was so much better... even the air was so much fresher."
With a smile, Yinzhen took advantage of the darkness and the absence of others to reach out and pinch the soft flesh on her waist, making her laugh from the ticklish feeling.
Neither of them had any worries at this moment. They forgot about the affairs of the court, forgot where they were, and abandoned their children. They could only see each other and were enjoying themselves to the fullest under the deserted night sky.
Changning thought that Yinzhen was quite romantic, having learned to hold her hand and stroll under the moonlight, which was very charming.
Yinzhen was also enjoying himself. He whispered, "There are always rules to follow in the palace, and I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable. But there's hardly anyone here now. I've sent Su Peisheng away, so you don't need to worry."
Changning's heart was burning with desire. She deliberately mischievously bit his ear, then ran away laughing in front of Yinzhen's shocked gaze. But he caught up with her in no time and held her tightly in his arms. She struggled and rubbed against him.
Yinzhen said fiercely, "The fire has already started. If you cause any more trouble, I'll do it to you right here!"
Changning was startled and immediately stopped struggling, but her heart was pounding, and she couldn't contain her excitement and thrill...
The same goes for Yinzhen. When the two of them are facing each other, they can feel each other's breathing and heart rate up close, which cannot be faked.
Seeing the blush creep up her face, Yinzhen swallowed hard and whispered in her ear, "Want to try? I'll be gentler."
"I hate you!" Changning said coquettishly, but the feeling of feigning reluctance was too obvious. Even Changning herself found it hard to believe, let alone Yinzhen. At this moment, they could only attack; there was no way they could retreat.
However, as soon as that delicate voice appeared, Changning felt something was wrong.
I'm a woman from Northeast China!
How could you make such a commotion?
no!
We must show the strength and power of us Northeastern women!
So Changning changed her demeanor, rubbing her hands together with a gleam in her eyes, like a thief stealing a beautiful woman. Yinzhen was about to make a move, but seeing her strange behavior, he was somewhat puzzled.
The next second, Changning pounced on him, shouting, "Young master, just give in to me!"
