Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and ignored Miss Li. He just smiled and said, "Qinglan, how are you doing lately?"
Seeing these two people only focusing on reminiscing about old times, but leaving herself aside, Miss Li felt resentful in her heart, because she said, "If you don't dare, you just don't dare. Make any excuses. If you have the ability, come back first!"
Xie Ruzhuo was impatient that she kept talking, so he simply turned around and said with a faint smile, "If Miss Li has the ability, just take the first place. I will definitely not compete with you."
Hearing this, Miss Li's breath froze, and just when she was about to speak, she was pulled aside by the lady from the aristocratic family.
The flies around her flew away, and Jiang Qinglan told her interesting stories about recent events with great interest. Xie Ruzhuo couldn't go, so Jiang Qinglan stayed by his side.
Xie Ruzhuo knew that Jiang Qinglan's temperament was always lively, so he smiled and said, "I haven't seen the scenery here in the past few days, so why don't we two go for a walk." The scenery in this mountain is different from the outside world, and there are also royal families Many animals are kept in captivity, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are scented, which is particularly refreshing.
Seeing that she was interested in wandering around, Jiang Qinglanxuan asked someone to bring a horse, and then gave her tamed and gentle maroon horse to Xie Ruzhuo, and then the two of them rode side by side and walked slowly into the forest.
It wasn't until the backs of Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruzhuo disappeared that Xiao Junxi coughed lightly and said, "Zixiao, let's go in too."
The man in armor beside him was stunned and said, "Master, your body is not suitable for hunting."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Junxi turned around and glanced sideways at him. She immediately stopped talking and changed her words, "Yes."
The scenery in the mountains is indeed beautiful. Xie Ruzhuo and Jiang Qinglan walked together. They didn't catch a few prey, but they were gradually fascinated by the scenery.
It was autumn, and in addition to the flowers and plants in season, there were also bright red fruits on the trees that gave off a refreshing fragrance, not to mention the hares that were frightened from time to time and ran around like arrows from the string. There are also the birds flying in the sky and the sika deer that appear like a flash in the pan. All these have the atmosphere of nature and are really attractive.
Previously, Jiang Qinglan was still thinking about hunting, but every time she raised her bow and arrow, she was stopped by Xie Ruzhuo, who taught her earnestly, "This rabbit has a bloated belly. It seems that she is pregnant. You should accumulate some virtue."
"Didn't you see that the wild goose was followed by the young goose? Who would guide the young goose when it was shot down?"
"The sika deer is so cute, let it live."
…
In this way, later on, Jiang Qinglan simply threw the bow and arrow aside, and said with a helpless smile, "That's all, since aunt, you want to do good deeds today, I will go with you, not hunting, just relax, okay?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo smiled crookedly and said, "Very good."
There were many wild fruits in the mountains, and Jiang Qinglan was experienced. She picked a few of the sweet and delicious ones, washed them with the water bottle she brought with her, handed them to Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Try this."
Xie Ruzhuo took a bite as he was told and immediately felt the sweet juice overflowing into his mouth. He smiled and said, "This fruit is quite delicious."
"That's natural, what I picked is not delicious." Jiang Qinglan smiled proudly, picked a few more and put them in the bag, and said, "I remember there are also wild jujubes in the mountains, let's go over there and look for them. go."
Xie Ruzhuo agreed with a smile, got on the horse together, and walked slowly towards the other direction of the mountain.
However, I didn't find the jujube, but I met an acquaintance.
Jiang Qinglan dismounted first and saluted, "Your Majesty, I would like to pay my regards to the Third Prince."
Hearing Jiang Qinglan's voice, Xie Ruzhuo just came back to his senses, hurriedly dismounted and said, "I have met the third prince."
Xiao Junxi smiled slightly and said, "Forget it." After that, she looked at the slightly bulging bags of the two people and said, "Have you hunted any treasures?"
Jiang Qinglan scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "My daughter is stupid and didn't hunt anything." She wanted to do it, but her close friends blocked her in every possible way and couldn't show her strength.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled crookedly and said, "There are so many treasures." After saying that, he took out two more red fruits from the bag on his horse, handed them to Xiao Junxi and said, "Your Highness, would you like to try this?"
It was afternoon, the sun was shining through the mottled leaves, and the woman's picturesque features and smiling face instantly made Xiao Junxi feel a little dazed. The scenery in the mountains is pleasant, but it is not as good as the people in front of you.
After a long time, Xiao Junxi stretched out her hand and said, "Okay."
Whether it was because the fruit was really delicious or because it had infected her mind, Xiao Junxi actually ate every last bite of the fruit, and then took out the handkerchief to clean her hands.
Zi Xiao, who was behind him, opened his eyes wide in shock. He tried his best to control it for a long time before suppressing the idea in his heart that he wanted to go over and tear his master's face apart to make sure he had not been swapped.
His master has always been serious about his words. What happened today? !
Xiao Junxi didn't know what her guard was thinking, so she turned around and said, "Zixiao, take our immediate prey to Miss Xie."
Just when he turned around, he saw Zi Xiao's somewhat distorted face. Just as he was about to ask, Zi Xiao concealed his face and said, "Oh, yes, yes!"
Just kidding, if the master knew what he was thinking... the consequences would make his scalp numb just thinking about it!
Seeing that the guard named Zi Xiao changed his prey in three strokes, Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Xiao Junxi smiled slightly and said, "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water."
As he said that, he took a few more fruits from Zi Xiao's hand and said, "Just take these fruits as a reward."
It wasn't until Xiao Junxi left with his guards for a long time that Xie Ruzhuo came back to his senses and asked Jiang Qinglan in a daze, "Does this count as robbery?"
Jiang Qinglan sneered, patted Xie Ruzhuo's head, and said, "I want to do this kind of robbery too." After saying this, Jiang Qinglan looked at the large number of prey on the horse's back and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, why didn't I realize that the third prince's intentions were impure before? Xiao Zhuo'er, tell me truthfully what's going on with you two!"
No matter how careless she is, she won't be able to miss this trick. These two people clearly have something going on!
Xie Ruzhuo's face turned red and he muttered, "We are innocent!" He jumped on his horse and walked forward without looking back.
How could Jiang Qinglan let her go? She immediately mounted her horse and chased after her, shouting, "Xie Ruzhuo, I must find out clearly today!"
As the sun gradually set in the west, everyone gathered together.
Because it was the last day, everyone tried their best, and it looked like they had gained a lot. And the one who gained the most was undoubtedly Jiang Chengye of the Jiang family, who actually hunted a tiger and killed it with one blow!
Emperor Jing was overjoyed and immediately laughed loudly and said, "It is true that a hero comes from a young age. Come on, I will give you a reward!"
While everyone was jealous, they couldn't help but sigh, they really are descendants of the Jiang family, and their swords never grow old!
Others also gained a lot. Emperor Jing more or less awarded them rewards, and for a while there were many thanksgivings.
When he got the girl, he heard the eunuch say in surprise, "The fourth lady of the Xie family has hunted a... snow fox?!"
Hearing this, even Xie Ruzhuo was in a daze. They didn't take a closer look at what was in the prey before, but now they followed the eunuch's gaze, and sure enough they saw a small iron cage inside, with a snow-white fox lying inside!
The fox seemed to be disdainful of the crowds of people, and just pointed its white buttocks at the crowd, then pricked its head and fell asleep.
Xie Ruzhuo laughed a little for a moment, but felt a little moved in his heart. Most of the prey that Xiao Junxi hunted this time was knocked unconscious, presumably because he cared about her. And this snow fox was unscathed, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort.
At that moment, someone was jealous and said, "This snow fox is so beautiful. It would be great if I hunted it."
Some people also curled their lips and said, "Miss Xie Si is so capable, but I don't know how many people helped!"
Jiang Qinglan was dissatisfied with these people's sarcasm, and immediately retorted, "It's important to have people helping me, but I'm afraid some people are just talking nonsense if they don't have the ability!"
At this moment, Emperor Jing was heard saying, "As expected of the daughter of the Xie family, she is quite like Xie Gong! Little girl, I ask you, what reward do you want?"
Emperor Jing asked, and Xie Ruzhuo naturally had to answer. But she vaguely felt that this reward would be useful in the future, so she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't decided yet, can you keep this reward for now?"
When she spoke, she tilted her head unconsciously, like a little daughter acting coquettishly. Emperor Jing was amused by her appearance, and immediately laughed and said, "Of course you can. Whenever you think of something you want, just come into the palace and ask for it from me."
For some reason, Emperor Jing is becoming more and more fond of this little girl, who is very similar to his Xiao Qi.
The hunting ended here, and everyone else received their own rewards. After everyone thanked them, they returned to the palace in a grand manner, waiting for the bonfire dinner in the evening.
On the way back, Xie Ruzhuo sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to meditate. Next to him, Xie Ruyin and Xie Rufei chirped, "This little fox is really cute."
Xie Ruyin said with great envy, "Fourth sister is really amazing, she can actually hunt a snow fox." As she said that, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch the smooth fur of the snow fox.
But she didn't expect that the moment she stretched out her hand, the little fox opened its eyes, opened its sharp fangs, and bit Xie Ruyin!
Fortunately, there was a cage in the way, so the little fox didn't really bite her, but this frightened Xie Ruyin so much that she glanced at her mouth and cried out loud.
Xie Ruzhuo was closing her eyes to rest, so when she cried like this, she immediately opened her eyes and said, "What's wrong?"
Xie Rufei was also frightened. She pointed at the little fox and said with some fear, "Sister, it bites."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo put the cage aside and said, "This is a wild beast. It not only bites people, but also eats raw meat. Can it be touched casually?"
Xie Ruyin was startled by her and stopped crying immediately. She just said in a trembling voice, "Can it still eat people?"
"Yeah, don't look at this thing raw, you can eat a lot of it." Xie Ruzhuo made a serious look and continued to talk nonsense, "Well, a little girl like you can eat it in two days It’s over.”
Xie Ruyin took it seriously, and immediately moved herself close to the corner, staring at the snow fox with a wary expression, fearing that she would be eaten by it again. Xie Rufei was also a little scared and pulled Xie Ruzhuo's sleeve, not daring to look at it anymore.
Xie Ruzhuo was clean, and when she turned back to look at the snow fox, she saw it looking at her aggrievedly, as if she had just said something excessive.
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to laugh. Can this fox understand human speech? Well, maybe she saw it wrong.
After arriving at the palace residence, Xie Ruzhuo carried the cage into the house and ordered someone to bring some pieces of meat to feed the snow fox.
After all, it is such a cute creature. It can't really be peeled off to make sleeve warmers like they said. It's better to keep it first.
