Autumn hunting is the most popular activity among the Chu emperors, princes and nobles. The great Chu advocates culture and martial arts. Every autumn hunting, the royal relatives, princes and nobles will participate.
Although Yan Jiangxuan was disabled with one leg, he could ride a horse, so he was ordered by the Emperor of Chu to participate in the autumn hunting.
The day before the autumn hunting, everyone arrived at the Royal Hunting Ground Camp in Mulian Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing to set up camp.
Sheng Nuan was with her family, and Zhou Xiruo was at the back...Zhou Xiruo was weak and had no skills in riding and shooting, so he came every year to watch the fun.
After riding through the camp, Sheng Nuan saw a group of princes and princesses gathering together. Yan Jiangxuan was still squeezed to the back, with only the ninth princess Yan Huaiyu by his side.
Sheng Nuan followed her parents on horseback and walked by leisurely. Yan Jiangxuan and Yan Huaiyu turned back at the same time. Yan Huaiyu's eyes lit up when he saw Sheng Jingshuang. Sheng Jingshuang was stunned and looked away with embarrassment.
Sheng Nuan raised his eyebrows at Yan Jiangxuan, and in the next moment, without warning, he whipped the black horse under him on the buttocks.
The horse jumped in fright, and Yan Jiangxuan was jolted and quickly steadied himself.
Yan Huaiyu suddenly became furious: "Sheng Nuan, are your hands sick?"
Sheng Nuan shook the riding whip: "What, do you want to come and treat me?"
Yan Huaiyu still wanted to speak, but Yan Jiangxuan spoke warmly: "Xiaojiu, don't pay attention."
Yan Huaiyu angrily endured it and went back...
Someone nearby whispered: "The Princess of Lin'an is really unwilling to marry the second prince. It's a pity that the emperor's order cannot be violated."
"Yes, she only dares to bully the second prince."
The veins on Sheng Tingyuan's forehead were pulsing. He turned around and glared at his daughter. Sheng Nuan curled his lips and calmed down.
After handing Ta Yue to the guard, Sheng Nuan walked towards his tent. As soon as he arrived outside the tent, he saw the third prince Yan Jiangrong waiting there.
Yan Jiangrong held a bow in his hand, with a smile on his lips: "Lin'an, this is for you."
The bow is a good thing. Sheng Nuan took it and pulled it. With a buzz, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yan Jiangrong looked helpless and doting: "You...why do you bully the second emperor brother in public? You are about to get married, so you should save some face for him."
Sheng Nuan raised her eyebrows: "Tch, he's not you."
In a word, the smile in Yan Jiangrong's eyes deepened.
Sheng Nuan put away her bow and smiled at Yan Jiang: "Your Highness, I will give you my first prey. What do you want?"
The girl was wearing a dark red riding uniform and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
The smile on Yan Jiangrong's face was so real that he didn't even realize it: "As long as it's from Lin'an, I like it."
Not far away, Zhou Xiruo watched that scene, especially the look on Yan Jiang's face, and clenched his hands unconsciously.
Sun Lanyi raised her chin at Sheng Jingshuang beside her: "Shuang'er, do you see that Xiruo is angry? She already has a sweetheart."
She was afraid that her son would be cheated again because he was careless.
Sheng Jingshuang scratched the back of her head: "Mom, don't worry, I know that after sister Xiruo treats me as her brother, I have no other intentions. I'm not a beast."
Sun Lanyi was a little helpless.
What will happen to such a stupid son in the future...
…………
At night, there was a bonfire in the camp.
Sheng Nuan and Sheng Jingshuang sat by the fire and talked. Not long after, the third prince and the ninth princess also came over.
The four of them sat around the fire and roasted the leg of lamb. After it was warm and roasted, they cut off a piece and handed it to the Ninth Princess... The Ninth Princess was a little surprised. She subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but she saw the piece of meat passing by her eyes.
In the hands of her third brother.
Sheng Nuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, here it is."
Yan Huaiyu was furious: "Sheng Nuan, you are deliberately looking for trouble!"
The third prince smiled helplessly and took it: "You..."
Sheng Jingshuang was a little helpless: "Nuan Nuan, don't be rude to the princess."
The Ninth Princess suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Forget it, she has always been so mean... Master Sheng, Sheng Nuan is so annoying, how could she be your sister!"
Sheng Jingshuang was stunned for a moment, and when the Ninth Princess looked at her, she suddenly looked a little embarrassed. She explained calmly: "Your Highness, my sister is actually quite good."
The Ninth Princess snorted.
Sheng Nuan was speechless: "That's a good question. I'm also surprised. Your Third Highness is so talented, how could he have a sister as stupid as you?"
The Ninth Princess suddenly became anxious: "Who do you think is stupid? Sheng Nuan, don't you know who is famously stupid in the capital?"
Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue: "Who makes you a princess? Do others dare to talk about you? I am the only one who can be honest with you and speak out with justice."
The Ninth Princess laughed angrily and turned around to grab the third prince: "Third brother, to be fair, who is more stupid, Sheng Nuan or me?"
The third prince was immediately dumbfounded, and Sheng Nuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Princess Ninth opened her eyes wide: "Why are you laughing?"
"nothing."
Sheng Nuan looked at the third prince and raised his chin: "Your Highness, please give me some fair words."
The Ninth Princess immediately agreed: "That's right."
Yan Jiangrong was sandwiched between his sister and Sheng Nuan. He had a headache. He looked at Sheng Nuan, then at his sister, and finally sighed helplessly: "Huai Yu is better."
The Ninth Princess burst out laughing: "Look, my third brother says I am better than you... Wait, third brother, what are you talking about? You are actually helping outsiders!"
This time, even Sheng Jingshuang couldn't hold back her laughter...
Zhou Xiruo hesitated for a long time, and when he walked over, what he saw was the four people laughing and having fun. Bayi Chinese Website
She clenched her fist slightly, walked to a few people, and said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, Third Highness, Ninth Princess... Cousin, Nuannuan."
The third prince smiled slightly, then turned back.
The Ninth Princess also smiled: "Hey, cousin, come and sit down, sit next to my third brother, and ask someone to sit further away."
Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue, stood up and stretched: "Okay, I have to hunt tomorrow, I have to go back and recharge my batteries."
Sheng Jingshuang immediately stood up: "Yes, it's time to rest."
Zhou Xiruo's smile froze slightly, and Sheng Jingshuang realized what she was doing, and quickly explained: "Sister Xiruo, don't get me wrong, you can chat with the Third Highness and the princess for a while, and I will take Nuannuan back."
Zhou Xiruo hummed in a low voice.
The Ninth Princess suddenly felt a little uninterested, and then she curled her lips and stood up: "I'm going back too... Master Sheng, why don't you give me a gift? Sheng Nuan is so tough and tough, why do you need to give it to me?"
Sheng Jingshuang suddenly didn't know what to do.
Sheng Nuan blinked at him: "Brother, go see the Ninth Princess off. I'm fine."
Sheng Jingshuang responded, a little embarrassed: "Then I will take Her Royal Highness back."
The Ninth Princess glanced at Sheng Nuan in surprise, her eyes saying "You actually look like a human being?"
When Sheng Nuan and the others left, Zhou Xiruo turned around and walked into the forest nearby. After a while, Yan Jiangrong also came over.
"Xi Ruo."
Yan Jiangrong stretched out his hand and hugged the person into his arms.
Zhou Xiruo looked at her quietly: "I thought His Highness had forgotten me."
Yan Jiangrong laughed and reached out to pinch her chin: "Why are you so angry? Who provoked you?"
Zhou Xiruo bit her lip: "I see that His Highness seems to be paying close attention to Nuan Nuan recently..."
Yan Jiangrong's eyes flashed slightly, he looked at her helplessly and said softly: "Don't you know who I am following?"
Meeting Yan Jiangrong's extremely gentle eyes, Zhou Xiruo's expression softened a little. He lowered his eyes and hooked his fingers on Yan Jiangrong's collar.
Yan Jiangrong leaned her against the tree and kissed her. After a while, he stopped when Zhou Xiruo was already out of breath.
Although they stopped kissing, his hands did not stop, and Zhou Xiruo soon leaned against his chest a little weakly.
Yan Jiangrong asked her in a hoarse voice: "Have you discovered anything recently?"
A flash of panic flashed through Zhou Xiruo's eyes, then he bit his lip and shook his head: "Not yet."
She did not dare to say that Sun Lanyi no longer allowed her to clean up Sheng Tingyuan's study, but she was not sure if it was because she refused the marriage last time.
The reason why she didn't tell Yan Jiangrong was because she was worried that if she was worthless, Yan Jiangrong would still treat her as before.
After all, he could pretend to be close to Sheng Nuan in order to deal with the Sheng family, but why wouldn't he treat her differently in order to take advantage of her?
She doesn't want to gamble on a man's heart, she just wants to try her best to grab what she can.
At this time, Yan Jiangrong took back his hand.
Zhou Xiruo snorted and grabbed his sleeve with some resentment: "Your Highness..."
Yan Jiangrong curled his lips with an evil look: "Not enough? There are too many people here. If someone bumps into you and ruins your reputation, you should go back first, be good."
Zhou Xiruo could only bite her lip, straighten her clothes, and then turn around and leave.
Behind him in the forest, Yan Jiangrong rubbed the smooth tips of his fingers and tugged at the corners of his mouth in disdain.
