Mu Yunyao looked and saw that the back of her hand was completely red and swollen, there was an eye-catching purple mark on it. Her recovery ability was already not bad, after an entire night, it no longer hurt as much, but it looked exceptionally frightening, "The medicinal paste's effect is not bad, it doesn't hurt today, it's just that there are traces of it.
It will take a few more days."
Jin Lan sniffed the smell in the tent and felt even more pained."Miss has never been wronged like this!"
Mu Yunyao smiled."It's fine, today's Autumn Hunt is officially starting, and I still want to see the opening of the deer hunt. Let's go."
The hunting did not require the participation of all the women, but because of the presence of Grand Princess Yi and the rare opportunity to show themselves, all the young ladies were dressed in elaborate riding outfits and gathered around to watch the deerstalker at the start of the show. On the high platform, an emperor dressed in light armor held a longbow in hand. He had an imposing manner between his brows, and even though he was already old, his actions still carried a heavy pressure. His hawk-like eyes revealed a faint killing intent, "Today's Autumn Hunt will be open to all officials and their children.
Zhan Yinghao, whoever wins the first place in the hunt, I will reward you handsomely! "
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Hearing the deafening shouts from below, the emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. He walked down from the high platform, climbed onto his horse, and raised his longbow high up into the air. He shouted to Grand Princess Yi, "Sister Yi, I'm going to hunt a deer. I'll treat you to roasted deer meat when we get back!"
Grand Princess Yi De couldn't help but laugh. She stood up and waved her hand at the emperor."Don't try to be brave when you're old. Give more opportunities to the children below. Pay attention to your own safety. Let the guards follow closely."
If an ordinary person were to say this, the Emperor would definitely feel that the other person was disobedient and cursing him. However, the person who was speaking was the Grand Princess Yi De.
The Grand Princess nodded.
The emperor reined in his horse and turned around. He glanced at the princes riding on the horses in the front row and asked, "Which of you would like to compete with me?"
"Father, fourth brother and I are coming!" King Yu urged his horse forward and turned to look at Yue Yang who was at the edge."Fourth brother, come quickly. Today's hunt is the best. Imperial Father will reward you in all kinds of ways."
"Second royal brother, go ahead. I am not good at hunting." Yue Yang shook his head. His royal father wouldn't want him to get involved.
The emperor looked at King Yue and shook the reins in his hand: "Jia!"
The hooves of the horses shook the skies and the sounds of the blades and bows resonated throughout the air. Accompanied by loud and clear harmonizing sounds, birds flew in bursts through the mountain forest.
Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Yang from afar. In such a lively scene, he seemed to be out of place, from beginning to end, he emitted a cold aura.
Soon, the emperor happily rode his horse back. Behind him, a guard carried a male deer in his hand. Its horns were lofty, and its body was sturdy. It died after being shot through the eye by an arrow.
The Grand Princess Yi De stood up, a smile on her face."Today, I am truly blessed."
After the deer hunt, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Some of the ladies who were good at riding horses chose a docile mare to slowly stroll around the hunting grounds. They occasionally glanced at the location of Princess Yi De, trying their best to make themselves look more graceful.
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but find it funny. She hadn't rested well last night, and now that the sun had risen, she felt a little tired. She couldn't help but walk towards a remote place and find a hillside to sit down.
Jin Qiao and Si Shu took a blanket and helped Mu Yunyao pave the bed, telling her not to touch the cold air on the ground."We servants will guard. Miss, please rest for a while."
The warm sunlight shone down and Mu Yunyao unconsciously yawned while covering her lips. There was a bit of light in her eyes. She used her hands to support her forehead and bent her knees to close her eyes for a moment of rest.
While he was still in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves nearing. He couldn't help but slightly raise his eyes and see a tall figure coming towards him.
The person that came stood in front of her, immediately blocking the sunlight above her head. Mu Yunyao blinked, but before she could get used to the blinding light, she felt a cold fingertip touch her forehead.
As the light shone down, it created a circle around the man's body that looked warm and harmonious.
Mu Yunyao's eyes were sleepy. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and glared at Yue Yang unhappily."Fourth Elder isn't hunting, why are you here?"
"Why are you so tired? But did you not rest well last night?"
Yue Yang let go of his hands and let the horse graze on its own. He then sat a little further away from Mu Yunyao on the grass, "Is it the Meng family or the Su family?" This kind of hunting grounds had many twists and turns to it. Although Yun Yao's status wasn't high, she was still highly valued by the Emperor. Coupled with her current prosperity, she would at least choose a slightly better tent to set up."However, if one's position is not good, there must be someone in the crowd."
Causing trouble.
"It's all possible."
"Yesterday, I brought my men to the hunting grounds to clean up. I just returned back to camp early in the morning, and I heard that the Meng family intentionally made things difficult for you in front of the Imperial Palace?"
Sent to clean up the hunting ground? No wonder I didn't see him yesterday.
Mu Yunyao had a slight smile on her face."That's right, it's fortunate that I have everything prepared. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of face."
"I'll get someone to help you change your tent. You can go back and rest first." It was also his fault for not being considerate and paying attention to these details.
Mu Yunyao stood up. Right now, there was no need for her to try to be brave. Moreover, there was still a good show to watch in the afternoon, so she had to be full of energy no matter what.
Mu Yunyao had only taken two steps when she suddenly felt a pain in her leg. She immediately saw a silly rabbit fall into the grass. It flopped to its feet and ran to the side.
Yue Yang picked up a rock and was about to attack, when he saw an arrow accurately nailing the rabbit to the ground. Immediately, the sound of horse hooves could be heard and Second Prince Yu turned his body on his horse, reaching out to grab the rabbit and threw it into the hands of the guards.
"I saw Fourth Brother here from afar. I didn't expect that Miss Mu would also be here."
"Greetings to Your Highness, King Yu."
"You're welcome."
"Why is second brother here? Didn't he come to accompany royal father?" When King Yue spoke, his tone was gentle. It was clear that he was on good terms with the second prince, King Yu.
"Imperial Father is accompanying Aunt. He said that he would be roasting deer meat in a while. I was just too bored, so I decided to hunt a few skins. When the time comes, I'll give Imperial Aunt, Imperial Mother, and several other sisters their points."
As King Yu spoke, he sized up Mu Yunyao. He was well aware of his Fourth Brother's temperament. Although he wasn't favored, as a prince, there were still people who wanted to rope him in. Some of them even revealed the intent of marriage. It was a pity that this fourth brother had a cold personality and never got close to anyone. His life was like an ascetic, and this was the first time he saw a girl by his side. It's just that this Lady Mu seems to be slightly younger ...
