Chapter 116 Frightened
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou glanced at Prince Jin Rong Jinyu indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it, big brother." It's not like he can't afford to lose.
At this time, Rong Jinyu looked at the sika deer with an arrow piercing its throat, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Crown Prince has made great progress in archery." Hearing this, Rong Jinyou's face darkened, "Brother, are you sure of winning?" Are you still here to laugh at him?
The Jinyiwei and eunuch officials around the two men were all on guard against each other. The atmosphere was tense and they were very vigilant.
Suddenly, Rong Jinyu smiled and said, "How about we go together, Your Highness the Crown Prince?" In fact, he didn't really take the bet seriously, he just wanted to make things difficult for Rong Jinyou.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou pursed his lips, then said, "Okay." He gripped the reins tightly, squeezed the horse's belly with his long legs, and headed forward.
Zhang Yan, a third-rank official in the Eastern Palace's Chancellery, frowned. What did the Prince of Jin mean? He secretly raised his guard. What if there was an ambush?
Although Prince Jin is so upright, if something happens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely be the first person to be suspected, but he will also be the first person to be eliminated as a suspect.
This is a risky move, but also a high-reward one.
The people in the Eastern Palace's Chancellery did not dare to let their guard down, for fear that something might go wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But the journey was smooth. Could it be that they had wronged King Jin?
Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating the ground. Ancient trees towered, and the surroundings were quiet, with only the gentle sound of the wind blowing. Su Zhenzhen and her group prepared to rest. Her riding skills were passable, but not perfect. Su Zhenzhen was one of those ordinary people who knew a little bit about everything, but wasn't a master.
They dismounted very casually and sat on the grass covered with blankets. The horses were eating grass not far away, and everyone in the group was eating dry food and snacks.
Xu Siyu glanced at their rosy little faces and said with a smile, "Zhenzhen, the Fifth Princess and I are just as breathless as you, so why do you look so tempting?" She felt like a beauty dripping with sweat from a storybook. She lowered her head and sniffed at her neck, squinting her eyes like a pervert. "You smell so good."
Su Zhenzhen was speechless as she watched her acting so skillfully like a dandy, then looked at the shocked Fifth Princess, "Yu Yu, you scared the Fifth Princess." She moved Xu Siyu's arm away from her. When did she become such a little hooligan?
The fifth princess Rong Ruoyan looked at them with a bit of envy. She seemed to have a very good relationship with her fourth sister-in-law's friend.
She has no close friends, and usually only her mother chats with her more.
Then she thought of her future husband and her fourth sister-in-law's fiancé, both newly minted scholars of the same year, and asked with a smile, "Yuyu, can I call you that?" Upon hearing that, Xu Siyu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's an honor for the Fifth Princess to call you that."
The Fifth Princess smiled and said, "My future consort is a top scholar, the same age as your fiancé, Yuyu. We can get along well in the future." She also wanted to find a close friend. Xu Siyu was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, as long as the Fifth Princess doesn't find me annoying." As soon as she finished speaking, Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "You're so fickle, Yuyu, you're cheating in front of me?" She reached out and pinched her cheek.
Xu Siyu reached out and pinched it back without any hesitation, "Who is it that is fickle? Zhenzhen, not only are you fickle, you also forget your friends when you see a beautiful woman!" How many times has she made an appointment with Zhenzhen?
Su Zhenzhen smiled and dodged. She was in the wrong, so she begged for mercy: "I dare not~" and then said: "Fifth Princess, help me." Her watery eyes looked at the Fifth Princess.
Surprise welled up in the eyes of the fifth princess, and she joined in with a smile. The girls' laughter was very pleasant to hear.
As the sun gradually set, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou tightened his bow and crossbow again, aiming casually at a silly roe deer. Prince Jin Rong Jinyu was not to be outdone and aimed at a sika deer nearby.
Zhang Yan, the Chancellor of the Eastern Palace's Chancellery, was already on high alert. They had already entered the inner and outer boundaries of Nanyuan. "Your Highness, why don't we change direction? Going further in here is too dangerous due to the presence of wild animals like tigers, wolves, and brown bears," he said firmly.
A son of a wealthy family should not sit idle in the hall. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, take such a risk?
Prince Jin Rong Jinyu laughed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so precious, how could he have the courage to enter the inner circle?" Then he pulled the reins in his hand, and the horse neighed "Yu yu yu..." and went inside. The Jinyiwei he brought with him also followed on horseback.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Crown Prince Rong Jinyou waved his hand, pursed his lips, and followed after a moment of silence.
Time flowed quietly, and about an hour passed. Rong Jinyu looked at Rong Jinyou with a smile, "Look, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I told you that everything was fine, but you are making a fuss about nothing." He glanced casually into the distance, his eyes moving slightly.
Rong Jinchen just happened to hunt a fox that could be used to make a fox fur cloak for Su Zhenzhen (it was required by the plot, don’t try to imitate him), and he rode his horse back to the camp.
Gu Heng felt a little regretful. Their Highness had not only won the championship but also crushed everyone else. However, His Highness was wholeheartedly concentrating on collecting fox fur cloaks for the princess and had no intention of winning the first prize in this autumn hunt.
The first prize is a white jade pendant worth a thousand taels. Why isn't Your Highness in a hurry to make money to support his family?
It was already dusk when Rong Jinchen returned to the camp. The bonfire was as bright as day, and he was keen enough to sense something was wrong. Frowning, he asked the guards on duty, "What happened? Where is Princess Yan?" He wanted to immediately assure Su Zhenzhen of her safety. Logically, with Gu Cheng there and so many guards and guards around, Qingqing would be safe.
The patrolling Jinyiwei saw that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness. The Princess Consort is doing well and is currently with everyone in the imperial tent." He added, "Your Majesty has instructed you to see Him as soon as you return."
After listening to his words, Rong Jinchen realized that Qingqing was not in trouble. He then relaxed his frown and strode towards the royal tent in the center of the camp.
Gu Heng smiled at the Jinyiwei who answered and followed him.
At this moment, it was so quiet in the imperial tent that one could hear the breathing clearly and even a pin drop.
Rong Yuefeng looked coldly at Crown Prince Rong Jinyou and Prince of Jin Rong Jinyu, whose clothes were slightly disheveled, whose faces were a little dusty and whose heads were drooping with bloodstains.
Su Zhenzhen quietly lowered her presence and huddled in the crowd. She was just an innocent bystander.
When she counted five hundred little sheep in her mind with her eyelashes drooping, Rong Yue's cold voice rang out: "Crown Prince, Prince Jin, you two are very good." The two men whose names were called did not say a word and were scolded silently.
Rong Yue was almost pissed off.
The Crown Prince and Prince Jin, whom he had painstakingly nurtured for so many years, were almost killed by the beast.
"Lu Feng, investigate thoroughly for me! I don't believe these beasts went crazy for no reason." If he hadn't happened to pass by and the imperial carriage hadn't been there, how could they fight against so many wolves, tigers and brown bears with just the people they brought?
Rong Yue fiddled with the Canaan Incense Gold Millet Longevity Eighteen-Bead Bracelet in his hand, his eyes growing darker. Crown Prince, Prince Jin...
