Yinzhi sat down beside Mu Sili silently and gave her a reassuring look. Mu Sili smiled.
Rong Xian winked at Rong Fei.
"Mother, I see that Third Brother is serious this time."
"More than serious, mother tells you..."
Rong Xian was stunned when he heard this. This guy actually fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to discuss with the emperor to make her his third wife. But it turned out that she was the third wife designated by the emperor.
Tsk tsk tsk, this plot is really making her laugh to death.
"Mother, this is Li'er's first time in Mulan, so I'm taking her out for a walk."
"Go ahead."
After leaving Rong Fei's tent, Yinzhi took Mu Sili to a small slope and sat on the ground.
"Mother and Second Sister didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"No, Your Majesty and Princess Rongxian are both very kind. The Third Prince is going hunting tomorrow. Would you like me to join you?"
Yinzhi looked at Mu Sili in surprise. What did this mean? Did she want to go hunting with him?
"Why, Third Prince, do you think this minister is not good enough?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised. Since you want to come with me, I'll take you along. I believe in my abilities and I'm sure I can hunt a deer."
"I believe in the Third Prince. Maybe this deer was hunted by me."
"Even if it was really hunted by Li'er, so what? We've already been married, and we're already engaged. We're family, so it doesn't matter who hunted it."
Yinzhi didn't care who hunted the animals, as long as it was done by the couple.
"In this way, I will definitely live up to Third Prince's trust."
The next day, when Yinzhi expressed his intention to bring Mu Sili to the competition, everyone, including the crown prince, looked surprised.
"Dong'e Gege also knows how to hunt?"
Kangxi asked curiously, the noble ladies of the Eight Banners today are not as fierce as they were when the Qing Dynasty first entered the Pass, so it is normal for him to have doubts.
"I am a Manchu woman. Manchus traveled the world on horseback. Although I am not very talented, my riding skills are passable. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to go with the Third Prince."
After hearing this, Kangxi was even more satisfied. She was indeed the third wife he had chosen personally, with courage and determination.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will naturally not refuse. Third Brother, protect Princess Dong'e."
"Don't worry, Father Huang. Dong'e Gege is engaged to my son and will be his future wife. I will not let anything happen to her."
"Just keep it in mind."
The Crown Princess looked at Mu Sili with envy. She also wanted to go hunting with them, but she was the Crown Princess and had a noble status. The Crown Prince would not agree to let her go.
Moreover, she has been learning rules and etiquette over the years, and her riding and archery skills are only passable. If she really goes with him, I'm afraid the prince will have to send someone to protect her.
Therefore, she could only look at Mu Sili with envy.
Concubine Rong and Princess Rongxian looked at her in surprise. They didn't expect her to be so brave that she dared to follow Yinzhi to go hunting!
Rongxian suddenly laughed. Rongfei was puzzled, so Rongxian leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Mother, this sister-in-law is quite something. Regardless of whether my third brother hunts a deer today, the relationship between her and him will be even stronger.
It would be fun if they could hunt deer during pregnancy. If the third brother and his wife could hunt deer, where would those who didn't get any face?
The more my daughter looks at my younger brother and his wife, the more she likes them. Mother, when she marries my third brother, you must not torture her."
Rong Fei's mouth twitched. "Harsh?" That was the woman her son cared about the most. If she really did, it would probably hurt the relationship between them.
She is not stupid, how could she do such a thing?
On the contrary, she will protect the other person. As long as the other person has a good relationship with her mother-in-law, she will have the opportunity to let the other person persuade her son to make progress.
Rong Fei has always known that Yinzhi is not a stupid person. Her son is both talented in civil and military affairs. Why should he be buried behind others?
It is true that the Crown Prince and Yinzhi are outstanding, but their son is only better than them.
Moreover, the prince has been acting too overbearingly in recent years, and even his brothers are considered subordinates in his eyes.
Kangxi was in his prime, so how could he not know why the prince was acting like this? He just had spoiled the prince since he was young and didn't want to hurt the father-son relationship because of such a trivial matter.
If the prince continues like this, sooner or later, Kangxi will be disappointed in him, and she just needs to wait for that day.
But before that, she had to let Kangxi see Yinzhi's excellence. Only when Yinzhi was excellent enough would Kangxi set his sights on him.
Yinzhi and the crown prince set off first with their men, and Yinzhen and his younger companions also went along. Seeing that Yinzhi was still not leaving, Mu Sili got on her horse and prepared to leave.
"Li'er, wait for me!"
Yinzhi originally wanted to wait until everyone left before he and Mu Sili slowly left, but he didn't expect that everyone had left, and Mu Sili almost followed them.
It was not until evening that the hunters gradually returned.
The Crown Prince and Yinzhi had a competitive relationship. They were always competing with each other, and they had hunted the most prey, but neither of them had ever hunted a deer.
"The Crown Prince and the Boss are both good. Today is only the first day and they've already hunted so many prey. It shows that both of them are very good."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words. It's a pity that I've searched half the hunting grounds and haven't found any trace of a deer. Otherwise, I would definitely hunt one and return with it. I would then treat Your Majesty to a feast of deer."
"It's great that the Crown Prince has this intention. I am very satisfied."
"Father Emperor, why aren't my third brother and Princess Dong'e here? Could it be that they haven't returned yet?"
Kangxi was shocked to realize that Yinzhi and Mu Sili had not returned yet. He couldn't help but panic. Could this kid be in danger?
"Come, send someone in to check..."
Before Kangxi could finish his words, Yinzhi came back with the mousse pear, and behind them were two deer.
Seeing this scene, even Kangxi couldn't help but be shocked.
"What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, my son and Dong'e Gege happened to discover a herd of deer. Unfortunately, our abilities were limited, and we each only managed to hunt one deer, which brought shame to Your Majesty."
Yinzhi had an embarrassed smile on his face, which made Yinzhi and the prince want to beat him up.
They have been wandering around for so long and haven't encountered a single deer, but this guy hunted two at once. Is he trying to show that he is better than them?
As for Yinzhi's words that Mu Sili also hunted one, they didn't believe it. Mu Sili was such a petite person and didn't look like someone with such explosive power.
However, this also indirectly reflects Yinzhi's love for Mu Sili. In any case, they would not do this if they were in his place.
After all, it is best to keep glory in your own hands.
Kangxi was really happy. He didn't care whether the deer was hunted by Yinzhi alone or with Mu Sili. The deer already belonged to Yinzhi. Today, he wanted to have a deer banquet!
