Winter is here, and the weather this year is unexpectedly cold.

Fuying didn't want to go hunting in the winter and couldn't find any interest in it, but her father said that she was weak and should practice riding and shooting better.

After changing into the narrow-sleeved winter shirt worn by Wei Hunter, Yun Ye had already arrived holding a jewelry box: "Your Highness, please pick out a hairpin. I heard that His Highness Pingyang will also go there. His Highness must choose something luxurious and beautiful to compare with her."

!"

Although Princess Pingyang is the legitimate princess, she is not as favored as Fuying, so the two don't get along very well on weekdays.

Fu Ying was of a lackluster nature, so she casually picked up a gold hairpin with a beaded phoenix in it and said, "Let's just have this one."

As soon as the hour came, the attendants accompanying the hunt set off in great numbers.

When they arrived at the city gate, Xie Zhou and several other disciples from aristocratic families had been waiting here for a long time.

He raised the reins and headed towards Fu Ying's carriage, reined in the horse and called her: "Ah Ying."

Sure enough, the girl lifted the car curtain and stuck her head out: "Brother Xie, why are you still here?"

"Waiting for you."

Then, Xie Zhou fixed his eyes on the golden hairpin with pearls in the girl's hair. There were some dazzling stars in his eyes, with a hint of throbbing joy: "Aying is wearing the pearls."

Hairpin, is it the one I gave you during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?"

Fuying was stunned subconsciously and touched the hairpin. To be honest, she had so many hair accessories that she really couldn't remember them.

"She's very pretty." Xie Zhou only thought that the girl was shy, and praised in a gentle voice. His eyes looking at the girl were full of spring, and the desire was getting deeper, and it was a friendship that could not be resolved no matter what.

In the carriage at the front, Pingyang was looking angrily from the window at the scene behind her. At this moment, the little maid serving her accidentally poured out the tea and exclaimed.

She turned around, stared at the little palace maid slavishly, and swept down the teacup: "What are you doing to eat!"

The scalding tea was poured all over the little palace maid's elbow, and red and swollen blisters immediately appeared, but she did not dare to make any other move.

Pingyang was too lazy to care anymore, and just thought angrily. When his carriage passed by, he didn't see what happened to the children of the aristocratic families. When they arrived at Fuying, everyone was smiling and courting. It's really disgusting!

After about half a day's journey, everyone arrived at Mingli Mountain. Luxurious cars and BMWs were parked at the foot of the mountain. There was an endless stream of greetings, laughter and the sound of horse hooves.

The weather in early winter is not too cold, the wind is not strong today, and the sun is still bright, which takes away some of the loneliness of winter.

The palace maid lifted the curtain, helped Ying to stand up and bent down slightly, and when she was about to step out of the carriage, she saw a solid arm in Xuanyi stretched across her face.

It’s Pei Yan.

The girl put the white catkins on her head, got out of the carriage, and suddenly looked into the young man's beautiful phoenix eyes.

Fuying blinked her eyelashes twice subconsciously and said to him: "Follow me."

Because she was too sleepy, Fuying arrived late. After seeing her father and empress, she lazily hid in the tent and refused to move any more.

Yun Ye held a napkin in his hand and wiped her palms in detail, complaining a little dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have let that little slave follow you. What rules does he know? What will happen if something goes wrong?"

?"

Strange to say, the slave who originally accompanied him was not the little slave, but another older man. However, the man had a bad stomach the night before departure, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and lay on the couch unable to get up.

They couldn't find a suitable candidate, so the aunt in charge sent that annoying little slave to take his place.

After hearing what Yunye said, Fuying shook her head helplessly: "You, you can't be so hostile to others anymore!"

Outside, Pei Yan, who had been guarding the tent door, heard clearly the conversation between the master and the servant inside. Although his expression was unstable, his eyes were difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.

"Ah Ying, come on! We are about to set off!" Outside was the excited voice of Su Rong, the daughter of Duke Jingguo. She had always had a good relationship with Fu Ying.

The sun is shining brightly at noon, shining on people, and the early winter is actually warm.

As expected, the children of the aristocratic family are all gearing up and eager to try. They hunt every year in winter. The winner will not only be praised by everyone, but also receive the golden bow from the Holy One. Naturally, they have to compete hard.

Fuying changed into a crimson outfit for riding and shooting, and appeared in everyone's sight, leading a fine sweat horse. I heard that this horse was a treasure that the Holy Emperor spent a lot of money to get from the Western Regions.

Gave it to the little princess.

However, BMWs are ordinary, but such beauties are unusual. The usually delicate and frail girl Jiao'e puts on a bright and powerful outfit, adding a touch of tenacity to her delicacy, which actually enhances her delicate figure, with her crimson background.

Her skin is more radiant and translucent than white jade, and the collision of weak bones and slender shape with bright and flamboyant is wonderful.

For a moment, the children of the aristocratic family looked at the girl with admiration and admiration. Who wouldn’t like the most noble little princess in the empire?

Pingyang counts as one.

She was dressed up carefully today, but as soon as Fuying appeared, all the aura surrounding her disappeared, and everyone's eyes were attracted, including her father's favor.

"Little Cherry, come here quickly and come to your father."

The old emperor looked at his lovely little daughter and felt extremely happy. He waved his hand and called her with a doting look on his face as if there was no one else around.

Fuying grinned and ran into her father's arms: "Father."

The hunt officially started, and in the second round, Fu Ying belatedly joined in. Xie Zhou came on horseback, reined in his horse and stopped beside her, and said in a gentle voice: "A Ying, the terrain here is steep, please follow me closely.

Don’t be alone.”

"Yeah." The girl nodded. She was just going through the motions.

A guard blew the horn, and the sound was broad and loud, resounding throughout the forest, stirring up layers of birds to fly over the leaves and soar into the sky.

"Ah Ying, catch up quickly!" Su Rong was a general and had been practicing martial arts since childhood. The wind and fire swept past Fu Ying. He left these words and rushed to the front.

Also coming from behind was Pingyang, riding a horse and whipping her whip. She and Fuying's pony were so close to each other that they almost brushed each other's hair and passed by. They raised huge clouds of dust and made the girl's center of gravity sway unsteadily.

.

Pingyang, who had already rushed to the front, smiled proudly and suddenly tightened the rope to slow down. He actually turned the horse's head and circled Fuying before walking with her. His voice was always domineering: "Second sister's horsemanship has deteriorated."<

/p>

Fuying straightened her body slightly and said in a decent voice: "Big sister."

Pingyang's eyes were fixed on her hairpin. Under the sunlight, the ruby ​​hanging on it shone brightly in the light, making people have to focus on it, just like its owner who loves to show off!

Presumably, it was a little trick she carefully selected today for the sake of outshineing other beauties.

Pingyang raised his head slightly, with some disdain in his eyes: "Second sister, this hairpin is very exquisite. I wonder which shop did you get it from?"

Fuying didn't have much fluctuation, and said casually: "Last year's old style is not a rare thing."

Pingyang's cheeks paused, and his eyes quickly became angry. He glared at Fuying without any concealment, snorted, swung his whip hard, and left Juechen.

This is not just to show off to herself. When it comes to family background, she is many times better than Fuying. That girl is just a poor creature with a humble mother. Her mother is the most noble queen in the dynasty, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, but her father

The emperor is partial to supporting Ying, and he only thinks of her if he gets any good things!

"Someone has won the first prize!" A burst of excited shouting came from the front.

So fast? Fuying was a little curious, but because she was not good at riding and shooting, the horseback riding was unfamiliar and slow, and it took a long time to reach the front.

It turned out that Xie Zhou had hunted a stag, and he planted the flag with the Xie family emblem, so heroic and proud as a young man!

After everyone cheered, they dispersed to hunt again.

Fuying, always delicate, wandered around in the forest for a few times with nothing to do, and then wanted to go home, but there was the slow sound of horse hooves behind her, and she subconsciously turned around to look over.

The setting sun melts gold, the dusk clouds merge into each other, and amidst the overlapping purple and green, the young man coming from the horse is walking against the light.

Xie Zhou lifted up the two gray rabbits hanging on his horse and said in a soft voice like a mountain spring, "It's for Ah Ying."

Fu Ying turned around and leaned lazily on the horse, "Father, I won't believe it."

The two walked side by side and stopped in front of the stable behind the tent. Jiujiu said that they had been fed properly in recent days and had grown up a lot. The horse's back was very high. Fuying carefully moved the toes of her shoes on the stirrups, her heart pounding.

, I wonder if it will hurt if I jump like this?

Then, a familiar figure came towards her. The man immediately knelt down under the stirrup, handed over a strong arm, and called in a meek voice: "Your Highness, please dismount."

Is it Pei Yan?

Fuying was actually a little hesitant. After all, she had never ordered anyone else to serve as a human stool, but this little slave was very stubborn. She clearly told him that there was no need for this, but he still took the initiative to come over when she dismounted.
p>

However, he is indeed a considerate person.

"You have to stay still. I am very heavy. If I step on you, it will be bad." The girl reminded him softly.

After coming down, Xie Zhou, who was about to hug Ying and help Ying off the horse, frowned invisibly when he saw this scene. He watched the light girl, with a pair of small feet, carefully step on the back of the humble slave who was lying on the ground, firmly

Got off the horse.

"Didn't Yun Ye say that the steward sent you to the front to help? Why are you back again?" Fuying heard Yun Ye mention this morning and asked him curiously.

Pei Yan stood up, lowered his head and said respectfully: "When the people in front were full, my father-in-law sent the slave back."

"Yes." The girl responded, and then said: "Then follow me to the main account."

From the beginning to the end, this little slave was very obedient and considerate. Anyone who looked at him would think that he was pure, kind and innocent. However, Xie Zhou felt strongly uneasy in his heart. Perhaps it was just because of the jade pendant that he was disturbed.
