Chapter 015 Hunting Ground
The Royal Hunting Ground is located in the southwest of Beijing, with a palace built beside the mountains and rivers . It is a great place to come and relax.
The emperor finished his preparations, and rode on his powerful horse, chatting with Rong Que in a good mood, "This year, the weather is good, and I believe your dynasty will be peaceful and prosperous."
Rong Que followed the emperor, withdrew his gaze from Dou Ziruo and Princess Qingyang, nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your words, and everything is fine."
Noticing Rong Que's gaze, the emperor just smiled and said nothing.
Rong Que had brought a message to the palace early this morning, stating that he was willing to marry Princess Qingyang, but with one condition, which was that Miss Dou from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had to be included in the dowry.
This is great news for the emperor!
God knows he was so worried about Su Qingqing's performance that he didn't sleep well all night. When he looked in the mirror in the morning, his hairline seemed to have moved back again.
The emperor patted Rong Que on the shoulder and said, "Qingyang and Miss Dou grew up together, and the two sisters have a very good relationship!"
Xiang Zheng's eyelids twitched suddenly.
What does the emperor mean by this?
Could it be that Rong Que has already said something to the emperor?
Just at this moment, Su Qingqing and Su Heng rode over one after the other.
Xiang Zheng glanced at Rong Que and immediately said, "Princess Rongyang is indeed the legitimate princess of Zhao State! She is indeed extraordinary!"
Rong Que looked cold and said nothing.
The emperor didn't respond at all. He wished Rong Que would hate Su Qingqing to death.
Even in plain clothes, the beauty was still attractive. Su Qingqing came riding on her horse, attracting many young men to look at her sideways, and naturally, also causing many noble ladies to roll their eyes.
"drive!"
She spurred her horse and galloped towards the emperor. When she reached him, Su Qingqing pulled the reins hard.
"Oh~"
The strong horse raised its hooves, followed the reins, turned around and rushed towards Princess Qingyang and Dou Ziruo.
Princess Qingyang and Dou Ziruo were so frightened that they screamed.
Rong Que's face darkened, and he leaned over and grabbed Su Qingqing's reins, pulling the horse's head to change direction, "Your Highness, can't you see someone here?"
Pull Su Qingqing closer to him.
Rong Que openly defended her. Princess Qingyang and Dou Ziruo lowered their heads in shame. Dou Ziruo said timidly, "Your Highness, Your Highness didn't mean it."
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes and snatched the reins from Rongque's hands in dissatisfaction, "Why are you meddling in other people's business!"
Rong Que sneered, "I will definitely not meddle in other people's business!"
Xiang Zheng:!
Look at Rong Que, then look at Dou Ziruo and Princess Qingyang !
What 's so hard to understand?
At the banquet yesterday, Rong Que didn't react at all, how come it seems like this marriage has been settled overnight!
He had no objection to Rong Que marrying Qingyang, although he preferred Su Qingqing more.
But Dou Ziruo can't do that!
This woman is too scheming and has mastered all the tricks. If I marry her and she really becomes Rong Que's helper, that would be disastrous!
After coughing, Xiang Zheng said to the emperor: "I wonder what hunting methods are used in your dynasty? In my dynasty, we are used to group competitions. Several people form a group, and each group confronts each other to decide the winner."
Before the emperor could speak, Su Qingqing said, "I like it! Why, are you planning to team up with me, sir?"
Su Heng was so angry that his face turned blue.
Why can't this person remember what he said!
Su Heng coughed dryly and glared at Su Qingqing. "Didn't sister say she would teach me how to hunt rabbits?"
The emperor smiled and said, "You have promised your brother so many times, but you always break your promise. Today you will be in the same group with your brother."
After saying that, he looked at Rong Que.
Rong Que immediately said, "I will be in the same group with Princess Qingyang."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards Princess Qingyang and Dou Ziruo and said in a gentle voice, "Okay?"
Just one word "okay" made the ladies behind him scream with fear!
ah!!!!
Great job!!!!
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes speechlessly.
What a waste!
Dou Ziruo blushed as she looked at Rong Que and asked softly, "What about me?"
Rong Que smiled and said, "Wait for me here. If you want anything, I'll call you back."
Ladies!
I can’t take it anymore!!!
Rong Que had already said so, no matter how much Xiang Zheng wanted to have Su Qingqing and Rong Que in the same group, he couldn't do it, so it had to be like this for the time being.
The other groups were quickly divided. Before the hunt began, the Ministry of Rites set up an altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens. When the emperor shot the first arrow, the competition officially began.
Because of Rong Que's words, Dou Ziruo did not participate in the competition. She just sat in the camp, eating fruit and chatting with several noble ladies next to her who also did not participate in the competition.
"Ruoruo, do you really want to go and marry?"
"Ruoruo, this prince is so gentle and looks good!"
…
The noble ladies talked about this at once. Dou Ziruo smiled coquettishly and said, "Although the marriage is far away, fortunately I have Qingyang by my side. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... He is a very good person. As long as there are no accidents, I... I am still willing."
Coming from her mouth, these words confirmed the rumors about Ehuang and Nuying.
As for what the accident was, everyone knew it.
In the woods.
Su Heng shot an arrow, and the two rabbits on the opposite side were skewered like candied haws. "Sister, we don't ask for the result of the game, we only ask for one thing, that you stay away from Rong Que."
This morning, Su Qingqing's ears were callused from listening to the housekeeper's words.
"I see. We are here to pick mushrooms. Am I not far enough away from him?"
"I'm doing this for your own good..."
The brother and sister were talking when suddenly a fiery red shadow flashed by.
Su Heng paused in the middle of his words, and then shouted excitedly: "Sister, Firefox, was that Firefox just now?"
During the last hunt, Su Heng was jealous that other princes got the fire fox while he only got the rabbit, and he felt aggrieved for a long time.
This time, he immediately drew his bow and arrow and shot towards the bushes where the shadow had just flashed.
An arrow flew into the grass, and the fiery red shadow flashed again and ran away.
"Sister, wait for me here and don't go anywhere!"
Su Heng left a word and rode his horse to chase after him.
Su Qingqing looked at Su Heng's anxious back and smiled, "It's still too young."
When Su Heng walked away, the sound of footsteps could be heard through the grass.
Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows and turned around, but what she saw was not Rong Que, but Shen Ye.
"you?"
After just one day's absence, Shen Ye seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
With red eyes, he stared at Su Qingqing, "Who do you think you are?"
Gnashing his teeth, Shen Ye sneered, "The Crown Prince of Great Yan? Don't dream, the person he wants to marry is Dou Ziruo!"
Su Qingqing crossed her arms and looked at Shen Ye, "Why are you here? How can a commoner like you enter the royal hunting ground?"
Shen Ye stepped forward, grabbed Su Qingqing's wrist, and squeezed it fiercely.
"Su Qingqing, what on earth are you going to do!"
Su Qingqing glanced down at the wrist that Shen Ye had grabbed. She didn't shake him off, but said, "The person who robbed you, Dou Ziruo, was the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. Is it any use for you to grab me?"
Shen Ye shook Su Qingqing's arm crazily, "Don't you love me very much? Ah? Wouldn't you do anything for me? Is this your love for me?
You did it on purpose, didn't you? You just wanted to see me begging you in despair, right?
OK, you did it, are you satisfied now?"
As he spoke, Shen Ye pulled Su Qingqing closer and moved forward to kiss her.
Just as Shen Ye moved forward, Su Qingqing suddenly raised her leg and her knee hit somewhere on Shen Ye's body.
The sudden pain made Shen Ye's face turn pale. He couldn't help but let go and hunched his body. He looked at Su Qingqing angrily.
Su Qingqing sneered, "Why? You want me to continue to like you, and then you and your whole family will continue to abuse me with my love?"
