Chapter 215 Provocation
Qi Yu felt a little depressed, and when he wasn't paying attention, he saw several noble gentlemen suddenly riding their horses towards Zhong Ning.
Ever since His Majesty issued the order to select a consort for Princess Zhaohua, this group of people have swarmed over like flies smelling meat.
These people are all young masters of wealthy families who are all show and no achievements.
They play more extravagantly than each other in private.
How can anyone compare to him?
He placed his sincere heart in front of Xiao Aning, but the cold and heartless woman told him that she could not stay for him alone.
Alas...the feeling of heartache came over him again. Qi Yu was a little confused, not knowing if he had done something wrong.
He is the chief of the Black Dragon Guards serving His Majesty, and is destined not to become a royal consort.
If he wants to marry Princess Zhaohua, he must be prepared to be a rich and idle man from then on.
One is the ambition to be loyal to the country, the other is the woman he always thinks of.
How to choose?
Everyone seems to have regrets!
He instinctively leaned towards his own ideals and ambitions. Compared to love, serving the country was the career he wanted to strive for all his life.
Little Aning could not stay with him alone, and he could not give up his power and status for Little Aning.
Never mind, let it be!
He didn't ask for fame, he just wanted her to focus on him.
Even if it’s only one point!
While he was thinking, he saw a young man in moon-white brocade shirt riding a horse and chasing after him. Qi Yu gritted his teeth, with a sinister look in his eyes.
Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he was not a saint after all and could not turn a blind eye!
In the dense forest.
At this time, Zhong Ning was riding the little white dragon slowly forward. When it came to hunting, her principle was that participation was the most important thing.
After all, they came from the future, so wild boars, wild rabbits, etc. are fine.
But there are many other animals here, which have been designated as rare and protected animals by the state in later generations.
She still needs to be mentally prepared before she can get an arrow to hunt them.
It's not bad to just be a bystander. I have never been to Shanglinyuan before. It's a purely natural forest environment. Just take a few more breaths to maintain your health.
She rode her horse slowly forward, followed closely by dozens of imperial guards. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Zhong Ning turned around inadvertently and saw dozens of young men in brocade clothes coming towards her.
As she approached, a group of young men bowed to her:
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Pang Yan, the second son of the Marquis Zhongding!"
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Loyalty, Liu Qingfeng!"
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am the eldest son of the Wenyuan Marquis's family, Zhou Liren!"
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am the second son of the Grand General's Mansion, Mr. Cheng..."
Zhong Ning:............
When Zhong Ning saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown slightly. What were they doing here?
Could it be that he came over just to say hello?
While I was thinking, a sweet voice sounded from the other side of the dense forest:
"Princess Zhaohua is truly a rare talent. Not only did she seduce my insane brother, but she also managed to seduce so many talented young men. I truly admire her!"
Zhong Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in a light pink and white riding outfit riding a slightly shorter horse leisurely approaching.
Behind her, there were two more ordinary-dressed ladies. When they saw Zhong Ning, they instinctively saluted, but the leading woman scolded them, "Useless things, what use are you?"
Zhong Ning remembered who this woman was the moment she saw her. She had seen her once at the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Chengyang's Mansion. This was Chen Meng, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Fu County.
It seems that the Fujun Mansion is already preparing to take action.
Zhong Ning glanced at her indifferently, then used his mind to activate the skill that had been closed before: Voice of Beasts!
Then he rode the little white dragon and continued forward as if nothing had happened!
"Princess Zhaohua is in such a hurry to leave, are you feeling guilty?" Chen Meng's voice sounded again, but Zhong Ning pretended not to hear it. At this time, there was no need for her to waste her breath talking to a dead person.
But if she didn't speak, someone would speak for her.
Zhou Liren, the son of the Wenyuan Earl's mansion, was the first to speak up: "Miss Chen, I'm sorry for offending the princess. May I ask how many heads you have?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't bother with you, but you are taking advantage of her?" The concubine of the Marquis of Loyalty also hurriedly said.
Fearing he would be left behind, the second son of the Earl of Zhongding immediately said, "Everyone in Kyoto knows that it was your brother who schemed against Princess Zhaohua first. He is truly despicable and shameless. Instead of reflecting on yourselves, you have become even more ruthless. We are ashamed to be associated with the Fujun Duke's Mansion!"
"You...you guys..." Chen Meng's face turned red with anger. She was about to direct the fire towards Zhong Ning again, but she saw no trace of Zhong Ning in front of her.
The task assigned to her by her father was to lead Princess Zhaohua into the depths of the jungle, so she took the initiative to provoke her, intending to make a bet and compete with her.
After all, she was the daughter of a general and had been skilled in archery and horse riding since childhood. There was no reason why she could not compare to an illegitimate girl who grew up in the countryside.
In this way, she can make a name for herself and complete her father's task.
But now, Princess Zhaohua treated her as nothing and refused to contact her at all. Chen Meng was furious and squeezed her legs hard on the horse's belly, chasing in the direction Zhong Ning left.
Only then did everyone realize that Princess Zhaohua had already left.
He immediately chased after him.
As Zhong Ning rode her horse forward, she truly felt the size of Shanglin Garden, which was beyond her imagination. She had been riding for about quarter of an hour, but could not even see the shadow of its edge.
The imperial guards behind were also puzzled.
Princess Zhaohua rode into the forest, seemingly to enjoy the scenery. Countless hares and deer ran past her, but she hardly even looked at them. She never drew the longbow in her hand once.
As they were wondering, they heard a big movement in front of them. Zhong Ning also felt this movement, and it seemed very familiar.
This is the sound of a wild boar running towards you.
As expected, three wild boars suddenly rushed towards Zhong Ning. The imperial guards instinctively drew their bows and arrows, but Zhong Ning suddenly stretched out his big palm and shouted at the wild boars, "Brother Pig, stop, let's talk!"
All the imperial guards were startled by Zhong Ning's sudden shout. The most important thing was that the three wild boars seemed to understand and suddenly braked to a stop two meters away from the team.
The wild boar was heavy and kicked up a lot of dust as it ran. When it stopped, even more dust was raised. Three pairs of eyes were shining, as if they were looking at the food that was about to reach their mouths.
"Brother Pig, you can see that I have weapons behind me. If you dare to attack, you will die!"
Wild Boar 1: ...Is this biped threatening them?
Wild Boar 2: Why can this biped talk to us?
Wild Boar Three: Two-legged beast, you are unlucky to meet us brothers today. Come into our mouths quickly!
