Chapter 172 Hunting Competition
When Ge Wenyu heard what they said, his face immediately turned cold, and Lin Qian also frowned.
Ge Xingyuan's position is really awkward now. Although he handed over the military power himself, the emperor did not assign him a new official position. He now has a bit of the feeling of a free and easy prince.
He has been in charge of the military for so many years, and he has blocked the paths of countless people. Now that Prince Ping'an has retreated to the second line, those people will naturally escape to find a sense of existence.
It seems that Marquis Yongyi is one of them, and Miss Meng Linglong must have heard her father talk about this matter many times.
That's why I spoke to Ge Wenyu like this.
Lin Qian narrowed her eyes. This Miss Meng Linglong was still too inexperienced and didn't know that even a broken ship can be repaired with three thousand nails.
Even though Ge Xingyuan no longer has real power, he is still the god of war who has made great contributions to Yongyao on the battlefield. The emperor will not tolerate anyone challenging his majesty, whether for face or for his own sake.
"Miss Meng, please be careful with your words and don't cause trouble for your family." Lin Qian spoke and glanced at Meng Linglong indifferently.
As soon as Lin Qian opened her mouth, everyone's eyes were on her again.
These girls were all ladies from wealthy families who had been raised in seclusion, so they seldom went out. Although Wei Xiaoran had invited many officials to his wedding, it was not convenient for these unmarried girls to attend.
Therefore, these people don’t know Lin Qian at all.
Meng Linglong looked Lin Qian up and down and found that Lin Qian's clothes were very ordinary and there was nothing special about them. She immediately thought Lin Qian was a poor relative of Ge Wenyu's family and sneered.
"Heh! Who are you? When is it your turn to interrupt me?" Meng Linglong spoke in an extremely harsh and unpleasant way, and Lin Qian's eyes flashed with anger.
At this time, a few more people came over. When they got closer, Lin Qian saw them clearly and immediately raised her eyebrows. Lin Qian knew all of these people.
The wife of Dali Temple Minister Lu Yang, Mrs. Jiang, and her eldest sister-in-law, the wife of Lord Lu, Mrs. Fan. There were also several wives of the Zheng family, and of course Zheng Wanrou's mother was among them.
The two sides have already seen each other. The ladies of the Lu family and the Zheng family could only come over to pay their respects to Lin Qian. After all, Lin Qian is not only the wife of the Prime Minister, but also a first-rank lady. When they see her, they naturally have to pay their respects.
"Hello, Madam Prime Minister, hello, Princess Wenyu." Everyone stopped in front of Lin Qian and bowed in greeting. Lin Qian sat leisurely on the Fire Qilin without even moving.
"All the ladies are well," Lin Qian said, looking at Meng Linglong who had just been showing off.
At this time, Meng Linglong and the four girls behind her all turned pale.
They really didn't know that Lin Qian was actually Wei Xiaoran's wife.
Although Wei Xiaoran is handsome and gentle, he has few romantic interests. It's not that there are no girls who admire him.
Back then, Wei Xiaoran was a newly crowned top scholar in the imperial examination. Later, he became the prime minister of the dynasty. With his handsome face, he naturally won the hearts of many girls.
But later, Wei Xiaoran's actions caused all the peach blossoms on the tree to wither in an instant, and all the girls' hearts were shattered by Wei Xiaoran himself.
Nonsense, those girls just want a handsome, gentle, considerate, good husband who loves them.
Instead of marrying an evil spirit, you have to be on guard against him all the time, fearing that he will pull your head off if he gets angry.
Therefore, these girls were afraid of Wei Xiaoran in their hearts and did not dare to develop any love for him.
Lin Qian is the wife of Wei Xiaoran, the wife of the murderous Prime Minister. Suddenly, the five girls felt a chill on their necks.
The atmosphere here was not right, and the ladies of the Lu and Zheng families soon noticed it, so they didn't dare to stay any longer. After paying their respects, they went straight into the horse farm and stayed away from here.
Lin Qian looked at Meng Linglong and asked with a smile, "How is it? Am I qualified to interrupt now?"
Meng Linglong remained silent, her face looking very unhappy.
Ge Wenyu sneered and rode past her on the Zhaoye Jade Lion, mocking her as he walked: "Much ado about nothing."
Lin Qian naturally followed on her Fire Qilin. When she passed by Meng Linglong's face, she saw that her face was full of anger and unwillingness.
"What should I do? She is actually Lin Qian, the wife of the Prime Minister. Will she tell the Prime Minister about this? I don't want to die!" After watching the two people leave, a girl spoke, and she actually cried while speaking.
Meng Linglong turned around and yelled at the person, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on her: "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. What else can you do besides crying? We didn't do anything, what does she have to complain about?"
As Meng Linglong spoke, she also rushed into the stable to look for the horse. She couldn't swallow this humiliation, so naturally she had to get revenge.
They all played together, and they all knew Meng Linglong's temper. Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran couldn't afford to offend her, and Meng Linglong didn't want to offend either, so they all wanted to back off.
Only Meng Linglong's cousin Song Yuqing stood on her cousin's side. The two of them talked in a low voice and then entered the horse farm, no longer paying attention to the three women who wanted to leave.
The Jade Lion of Night and the Kirin of Fire were indeed steeds that could run a thousand miles. Lin Qian and Ge Wenyu rode on them at full speed and immediately felt the difference.
After galloping through the forest for a while, the two finally stopped. Ge Wenyu smiled and said, "As expected of a thousand-mile horse, it's fast."
Lin Qian also smiled and nodded, then looked around and found that the two had already gone deep into the forest. "How about we have a competition? Who can catch more prey?"
Ge Wenyu was quite skilled in riding and archery. Upon hearing Lin Qian's suggestion, he immediately nodded, and the two began to shuttle through the woods, looking for prey.
After walking for a while, Lin Qian found a roe deer. She immediately bent her bow and drew her arrow. Before she could aim, an arrow had already flown over.
Lin Qian turned her head to look at Ge Wenyu who was not far away. Ge Wenyu stuck out her tongue at her: "Hehe! Sister Qianqian, I took the lead first!"
Lin Qian smiled and released the arrow in her hand, hitting another roe deer hiding in the grass. She said to Ge Wenyu, "Keep going!"
Ge Wenyu snorted and kicked the Zhaoye Jade Lion in the belly. Then, the man and the horse rushed out like an arrow.
Lin Qian quickly followed, and at the same time pulled out a long arrow, took aim and let go, and a hare fell to the ground.
"Ah! Sister Qianqian! How come you only have two? No, you have to wait for me!" Ge Wenyu turned around and saw it, and immediately became anxious and shouted.
Lin Qian chuckled and said, "This is a competition, there's no room for giving in. Wen Yu, you better try your best!" After that, Lin Qian put the arrow into the string, and when she let go, a pheasant was nailed to the ground.
"Ah! Sister Qianqian! Wait for me!"
