As soon as the day of hunting arrived, the drivers gathered outside the Shenwu Gate. Everyone waited early, and finally the emperor arrived with his concubines.
Xichen sat in the most spacious and splendid carriage in the middle. He opened the curtain and asked, "Where is Shangyi? Come and serve me."
While looking for Shen Huan, Xiao Shizi stuck out his tongue and made a face and muttered: "We really can't leave each other for a moment."
This happened to be heard by Eunuch An, who put his foot on his butt and cursed: "Hurry! Come and find him!"
Shen Huan was found, got on Xichen's carriage, and sat down sternly.
After a while, the carriage gradually moved forward, so the emperor went out on patrol. The nine-door martial law imperial guard led the way, and the Yulin Guards drove around to protect the carriage.
Shen Huan looked around through the curtain, but could not see any scenery, only the royal guards riding tall horses.
She frowned and sighed, then put down the curtain and continued sitting upright.
Xichen held a book in his hand, looked up at her, a smile flashed on his lips, and then immersed himself in reading again.
Arriving at the hunting ground in the evening, the tents were set up, stretching for dozens of miles, with a post every five steps and a whistle every ten steps. The pine torch burned like daylight, and the bright moon in the sky was eclipsed by a little. Above this vast wilderness, the moon was high and the wind was high. Stopped, only the "whooshing" sound of burning torches was heard, and then the collision of patrolling soldiers wearing armor.
Two guards stood outside the imperial tent, standing motionless. Dark shadows were cast on the tent, swaying left and right due to the swaying light of the fire.
Xichen had changed out of his dragon robe and was wearing jade-white home clothes. He only had a golden dragon embroidered on the left chest to show his identity. He was pointing at the peach blossom jade on Shen Huan's waist and said with a smile: "It's done so quickly. Wearing the straps? It’s really chic.”
The peach blossom jade is braided with ivory-colored webs, and a string of long tassels hang down from the bottom, making it look very graceful when moving.
The manager of the Respecting Room came and asked: "I wonder which empress the emperor will favor tonight?"
Xichen waved his hand and said: "Have a good rest tonight, and come with me to dress up and mount your horse tomorrow. I want to see their hunting skills."
The manager of the Respecting Room was ordered to leave, and Shen Huan also took the opportunity to say: "Then, your Majesty, please rest early, and this servant will leave."
Today, I was so happy that I didn’t bother with it anymore, so I nodded and let her go.
Shen Huan left the imperial tent and stood at the door in a daze for a while. Xiang Ming came over and said, "Miss, you must be tired after riding in the carriage for a day? You go back to the tent to rest first. I will serve you long live."
Shen Huan nodded to her and walked away, but did not go back to his tent. Instead, he walked farther away from the tent and stood there looking at the bright moon in the sky.
A familiar voice came from behind "Ah Hu"
Xichao walked up to her, and Shen Huan smiled warmly at him.
Xichao took her hand and pulled her while walking and said: "Let's go to the lake for a walk."
The two of them arrived at the lake. The bright moon in the sky was printed on the lake, which was shining silver. The sparkling lake water was as quiet as a dark mirror.
"It's already May..." Xi Chao sighed softly
His voice is soft, like the silent evening wind
"Do you still remember our agreement?" He turned to look at Shen Huan's side face and asked. Shen Huan's side face looked particularly beautiful under the reflection of the moonlight and lake water, with long and slightly rolled eyelashes and a small and exquisite nose pointing upward. When the lips are tilted and pursed, the pear dimples appear, and the faint smile seems to stretch into people's hearts.
Shen Wen still didn't speak. Xichao held her hand tightly, leaned close to her ear, and said slowly: "You are fifteen and I am seventeen. I said I would marry you..."
Shen Wen's face suddenly became hot. She wanted to escape but was held tightly by him. She looked back at him in surprise. She couldn't see his smile. The serious look on his face made her feel as if there was a deer in her heart.
She stuttered and said: "But...but I am no longer...the lady of the prime minister's house..." When she said this, her nose felt sour.
Xichao sighed pitifully and said softly: "What does it matter? If I were not the prince, wouldn't you marry me?"
Shen Huan quickly shook his head: "Why would I care if you are a prince?"
Xi Chao smiled and said: "That's it, I don't care if you are the lady of the Prime Minister's House!"
Shen Huan looked at him blankly. Do you want to marry him? Marry him as promised. Then, where is her revenge?
At the beginning, she used Xichao's love for her to ask him not to stop her from taking revenge!
If you love me, don't stop me from taking revenge!
If you love me, marry me!
Now...will Xichao say this to herself?
Shen Huan felt upset, but Xichao had already hugged her, and his warm and soft lips had fallen on her forehead and cheeks...
She liked his arms, his kisses, and the faint scent of Ganan on his body...
Shen Huan closed her eyes, Xi Chao entangled her lips and tongue
"Ah Huan, your tongue...is delicious..." Xichao murmured
Shen Wen suddenly pushed him away and took a step back.
Xichao looked at her in surprise. She lowered her head at a loss and bit her lower lip.
"Ah Huan...you, don't you want to?"
"No...no...Xichao, I'm sorry..."
"Have you fallen in love with Fourth Brother?" Xichao's voice suddenly turned cold.
Shen Wen raised her head, looked at him in horror and said, "How is that possible! He is the murderer of my whole family! He is my sworn enemy!"
Xi Chao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled sadly and said: "You still can't let go of your hatred... You will never let go... But, it doesn't matter, I will wait for you."
Shen Huan was about to cry but had no tears. She just felt as if a piece of cotton was blocked in her chest. It seemed soft and weak, but it was so blocked that she almost suffocated.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back." Xichao held her hand again, and the two of them returned to the camp one after another.
