Beichen's annual autumn hunting meeting is very grand.
Civil and military officials and their families accompanied the emperor to the royal hunting ground.
The autumn hunt is a test of riding and shooting for the men of the capital. Anyone who performs well in the autumn hunt will be rewarded by His Majesty.
As for the family members, because they are all noblewomen from the capital, not many are proficient in riding and shooting. Most of them are led by the concubines to participate in other games in the hunting grounds to add to the fun of the autumn hunting and of course there are prizes.
Xiao Jialan got off the carriage and saw that the hunting ground was very lively. Men and women, familiar and unfamiliar, gathered together to say hello.
It was the first time for Xin Ruyi to attend such a grand party, so she was a little nervous.
Su Xinyue seemed more curious, but she had other tasks today, which was to protect Xin Ruyi and Xiao Jialan.
When three girls stand together, they will inevitably attract others' attention.
Several noble ladies gathered together and began to discuss: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince stayed at the Duke's Mansion a few days ago. Could it be that he has fallen in love with the young lady from the Duke's Mansion?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Ye have always had a close relationship. Isn't it normal for them to stay at the Duke's Mansion for a few days?
Furthermore, Miss Ye is from a rural background, so why would His Highness the Crown Prince fall in love with her?"
"But at the banquet at the Duke's Mansion, Miss Ye and His Highness the Crown Prince sang a song called Birds Worshiping the Phoenix together. The two of them were obviously a perfect match."
Several people were talking to each other, discussing the matter of Xiao Jialan and His Highness the Crown Prince.
When Han Leyi heard their discussion, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and saw Yan Bingying walking towards her: "Sister Han."
Han Leyi and Yan Bingying are relatively good friends, and they both have admiration for Yuan Chen.
It's just that Yan Bingying is not as extreme as Han Leyi, and her feelings for Yuan Chen are relatively obscure.
Yan Bingying asked: "Why don't you see Sister Han coming to see me recently?"
Han Leyi often asked Yan Bingying to go shopping together, but after the incident, Han Leyi lost face and kept herself locked up in the house.
Han Leyi said: "My sister still wants to have fun, didn't you listen to what they were saying?
This Miss Ye is new here, I really don’t know how she can win the heart of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yan Bingying was stunned for a moment before saying, "Sister Han, are you thinking too much?"
Han Leyi looked at her with some words and said: "I said, you have such a big heart. Everyone else can see it, but you are the only one who doesn't know anything."
Yan Bingying indeed heard about it, but she didn't take it seriously.
They and His Highness the Crown Prince have grown up together as childhood sweethearts, and they have never seen the Crown Prince fall in love with any girl from any family.
This young lady from the Ye family is just a girl from the countryside. What is it about her that attracts the prince?
Yan Bingying said: "You cannot force matters of love. If His Highness the Crown Prince really likes Miss Ye, there is nothing we can do."
Han Leyi's lips twitched and she said, "Look at your potential, why should Ye Jialan compete with us?"
She snorted and said, "You can swallow this breath, but I can't."
Yan Bingying held her hand and said, "Sister Han, don't be impulsive."
After saying that, he took the person and walked away: "Let's go look elsewhere."
Xiao Jialan also noticed the two of them, but she was far away and didn't know what they were talking about.
She withdrew her gaze and said to Xin Ruyi and Su Xinyue: "Don't run around, this hunting ground is not safe."
Xin Ruyi nodded and saw Mu Rufeng walking towards them with a girl.
The girl and Mu Rufeng walked very close and looked very intimate.
