336 Return to the Wolf's Den

However, at this moment, people from various palaces were getting off their sedans. The little girls were chatting and laughing softly, the servants were moving boxes and cages, and the attendants and maids in the palace were walking around to guide them. The crowd was so crowded that it was difficult to tell where the sight came from.

Xu Mingyi withdrew his gaze.

But she didn't think she was wrong.

She has disliked being stared at since she was a child, and because she has been practicing martial arts for many years, her perception is sharper than others, so she has always been particularly sensitive to other people's gazes.

"What are you looking at?"

Princess Yufeng came over with her maid, her voice was still lazily, and she had obviously fallen asleep in the car.

"It's nothing, I just always feel like someone is staring at me." Xu Mingyi said softly as the two approached.

"Then tell me, who doesn't appreciate beauties?" Princess Yufeng sneered, "Are you still going to pull out the person and shoot an arrow through his head?"

Hearing her teasing her about her childhood, Xu Mingyi was not angry or embarrassed, but nodded seriously and said: "Yes, I came with a bow this time."

The two of them were talking and walking slowly towards the palace with everyone.

The Spring Hunting Festival is held every year, and there are particularities about where the people in each mansion live. Although there are rough arrangements in advance, someone with a status like Princess Yufeng can choose to live anywhere.

Mrs. Cui could have chosen one, but she acted outside and was deeply influenced by her husband. She had always been particular about not being prominent, so she just made arrangements as she pleased.

Even so, the private courtyard that was arranged in advance was one of the best in terms of location and view.

After Xu Mingyi settled in the courtyard with Mr. Cui, he first took a nap.

This sleep lasted for most of an hour. When I woke up, the half-open window was full of sunset and the dusk was floating in the sky.

"When the girl was sleeping, many ladies came over? But the lady didn't let the maids come to disturb the girl? They all went back, saying they would come back to talk to the girl later." Akui changed her girl's clothes.

Said: "It's almost time for the dinner? Madam asked the maid to ask the girl to get up and freshen up. Is His Majesty hosting a banquet? It's too late to go."

Xu Mingyi said "hmm" in a hazy voice, and let the little maid dress and comb her hair for her.

Mrs. Cui had already packed up and was sitting in the hall having tea. Seeing her daughter coming over, she couldn't help but feel extremely comfortable.

Although she had just lost two hundred taels of silver in the horse-drawing game, looking at the flower-like little girl in front of her, she didn't belong to someone else's family? She was her daughter? Mrs. Cui felt that everything was fine.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the banquet, they saw that the female relatives of each house were almost there.

The emperor and empress hosted a banquet. The officials and their female relatives sat at separate tables, separated by a red sandalwood embroidered screen.

When there was singing and dancing during the dinner, the screen was temporarily removed.

This gap? Xu Ming looked at the person on the opposite table without any trace.

She knew early on that except for the royal family's palace and the Duke's uncle's palace, all those who came this time were officials of third rank or above.

It can be said that now all the ministers who can speak in the court are here.

She must have heard of most of them, but only a handful of them have actually seen them.

But obviously? Xia Tingzhen did not come this time.

It seems he is really sick.

But? Although Xia Tingzhen didn't come, his eldest son Xia Xuan did. At this time, he was holding a wine glass and drinking with others, talking with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be completely unaffected by Xia Xi's incident.

In comparison, the young man sitting not far away seemed a little embarrassed.

The young man was wearing an official uniform, and among the many scarlet robes, the green robe embroidered with the imperial edict was particularly conspicuous.

According to Daqing official uniform regulations, officials of the sixth and seventh ranks wear green robes.

But this spring hunting, there shouldn't be anyone of this rank appearing.

But if you think about it carefully, you can guess the reason for this exception - this young man must be Cao Lang, the new top scorer.

That day on Xiyi Street, I heard someone remind me that Xu Mingyi had taken a look at it from a distance.

She used singing and dancing as a cover-up and almost watched all the officials.

Finally, when his eyes were slowly moving towards the members of the clan, his eyes were suddenly caught.

The young man was holding a glass wine cup, and was rarely wearing a light moon-colored robe. He had half a bunch of jet-black hair, and the white jade crown that bound his hair had a moist texture, as if it contained a faint halo, and because the owner of this jade crown was born in a special way.

It's so beautiful, but looking at it so suddenly makes people feel a little bit like they're experiencing the death of an immortal.

When their eyes met, Xu Mingyi was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that she quickly and without trace looked away, pretending to lower her eyes while eating the food, Wu Chao finally looked away.

I saw her staring at people all night and didn't even take a few bites of food.

but……

Why do I suddenly feel like someone is staring at me?

From the corner of his eye, the young man saw that the tall and burly old man seemed to be observing something secretly. He immediately calmly put down the wine glass in his hand and straightened his originally casual posture.

The Duke of Zhenguo is a military commander, so he certainly doesn't like young people who don't sit upright.

Wu Jingming, who was beside Duke Zhen, was also observing this scene and couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Why does General Xu always stare at his son?

And that look in his eyes, as if he was planning how to take his son back to the wolf's den - this... must be his illusion, right?

A dinner party ended with everyone having different thoughts.

After the banquet was over, everyone bowed and sent the emperor and empress off.

Yufeng County Chairman Jian was a little drunk after eating too much wine. Xu Mingyi was a little worried, so he ordered Ah Zhu to accompany Shi Shi and send him back.

Mrs. Cui was led by several ladies to talk.

The Tao is talking, but everyone can see that things here are not that simple - after all, it is not easy to have the opportunity to live so close to each other without having to listen to the nagging of the annoying husband. Is it reasonable not to give up?

As for staying up all night, that is the minimum respect for this hard-won opportunity.

Xu Mingyi, who had already had a premonition about this, went down the white jade stone steps and wanted to take Akui back to his residence.

"Girl, where is the young master..." Akui pointed to the front and whispered.

Xu Mingyi looked around and saw Xu Mingshi's figure.

But the boy was not alone at this time, but was talking to someone else, and that person was none other than Wu Chao.

What are these two people talking about?

With the idea that "he is not an outsider anyway", Xu Mingyi walked towards the two of them.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, blocking her way.

Before I could see which one it was, I saw the other party raised her hand and saluted, and said with a smile in her voice: "Miss Xu."

--This is?

Xu Mingyi reacted for a while, and finally managed to recognize the person through the smell of alcohol on his body.
