Chapter 157: Unaware of the Scam
Chapter 157: Unaware of the Scam
Not long after King Annan was carried away, the first place in the archery competition was decided.
It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When Emperor Yuan saw that the melons had been eaten and the archery competition was over, he stood up and said, "Come here, bring me my Red Flame."
Chiyan is the emperor's favorite horse and is said to be a thousand-mile steed.
Emperor Yuan continued, "All of you present today are outstanding young men from various families. Let me see your skills on horseback! Whoever hunts the most prey before sunset will have a wish granted to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Yuan's red flame was pulled over.
It was a red-maned horse with a body as dazzling as flames. Its hooves stepped on the ground powerfully, making a dull sound.
Emperor Yuan mounted his horse.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince and Xie Xu and those who were protecting Emperor Yuan also jumped on their horses, waiting for Emperor Yuan's order.
Jiang Yueyang looked at the Yuan Emperor on horseback and suddenly remembered something. He habitually muttered to the system: "Didn't His Majesty say that whoever wins the archery competition will be rewarded handsomely? What's the reward?"
The system casually replied, "Eaten by the Emperor."
Emperor Yuan, who was about to spur his horse, said: "..."
[As expected, if there is a child who cheats his father, there will be a father who cheats his child.]
The system laughed, [The prince is a child who was betrayed by his father, and the host is a child who betrayed his father.]
Jiang Yueyang: [Don't slander me, when did I ever betray my father? ]
The system was silent.
Emperor Yuan pretended not to hear Jiang Yueyang's words and shouted "Let's go!", and everyone rushed into the depths of the hunting ground like arrows.
Dust flew in the wind and birds in the forest were startled and left their nests.
After a while, a guard from the imperial guards came back on horseback.
He looked at Jiang Chengrui, who was about to help Madam Jiang back to the inn, and said, "Minister Jiang, His Majesty wants you to go hunting with him."
Minister Jiang: Yangyang, look, this is where you betray your father. His Majesty took out all the anger he felt from you on me. I, your father, can't stand it.
Seeing that Minister Jiang didn't respond, the imperial guards asked tentatively, "Minister Jiang?"
Minister Jiang sighed and said, "I'll be there right away."
After the two left, the third prince and several good friends from the officials' sons also prepared to go hunting.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately asked Qingming beside her to come over and whisper. Qingming nodded and walked towards the third prince.
Qingming stood beside the Third Prince and whispered, "Third Prince, my daughter wants a few live rabbits."
The third prince: "..."
She really treats me as her little brother. How can I let someone catch a living rabbit?
The rabbit runs faster than me!
But there is no way, after all, this is the promise I made.
For this, the Third Prince sighed helplessly, "I understand. Tell her that my second brother's eyes are still the same as before, and ask her to think of a solution."
Qingming nodded and returned to Jiang Yueyang, telling her the third prince's words.
Jiang Yueyang looked at the third prince, and seeing that he was also looking at her, she raised her hand and made an OK gesture.
Third Prince: "???"
The three people not far away saw the whole scene.
Xu An got a wild fruit from somewhere, took a bite, and the sourness made his face twisted.
"Pah!" He spat out the fruit in his mouth. "Why is this fruit so sour? It's already bright red."
"Is it sour?" Gu Lan took a red fruit from his hand and sniffed it. "It's not so bad. Someone is more sour now."
Lu Yunting glanced at him, got on his horse and rode away without saying anything.
"Sir, wait for me!"
Xu An threw away the fruit in his hand, mounted his horse and chased after him.
Gu Lan walked slowly into the woods. He wanted to see if there were any rare herbs in the enclosure.
After most of the young masters had left, the eldest princess also came out with her horse.
She looked at the ladies and asked, "Is anyone going hunting with this princess?"
"Your Highness, I will accompany you." Miss Zhang Liu was the first to speak up and accept the invitation.
"Your Highness will also accompany this subject."
Several girls came out at once, and the eldest princess led them on horseback to the hunting area.
Gu Ruo and the others watched their backs gradually disappearing into the distance, and they also wanted to join in the fun.
"Yangyang, shall we go in and play too?"
"Thank you for the invitation." Jiang Yueyang crossed her hands. "I don't want to fall off the horse."
"Then let's go."
"go Go."
Jiang Yueyang looked at the direction they left and shook her head, "Heh~ Women, are you going to hunt prey? Or are you going to hunt your loved ones?"
The system said: [The one you love is also prey.]
【You're right...that's not wrong.】
[Host, aren't you going? Be careful, your prey might be snatched away by someone else.]
Jiang Yueyang said without thinking: [Prey that can be easily hunted is not the prey I want.]
After she finished speaking, she was about to walk around and take a look, but unexpectedly someone called her from behind.
"Master Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Yueyang turned around when he heard the voice and saw a lady he didn't recognize.
The lady and Jiang Yueyang knelt and saluted, and took the initiative to introduce themselves: "I am the wife of Censor Shen."
Jiang Yueyang had an impression of Censor Shen. After all, in order to thank him, he specially gave his wife a durian.
"What did Madam Shen call me for?"
"I really liked the durian that Master Xiao Jiang gave me last time."
Oh~ Turns out you came here for durian again.
By the way, were ancient people so accepting of durian?
Jiang Yueyang smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen wants to buy durian?"
"Yes, I've been thinking about it ever since that meal, but I don't want to bother you without permission."
In fact, it was Censor Shen who forbade her to go find Jiang Yueyang, saying that having less contact with Jiang Yueyang could reduce the risk of being eaten by the melon.
Jiang Yueyang nodded, "The Queen also asked me to buy durian for her earlier, so I will buy some for Madam Shen as well."
"Thank you very much, Master Xiao Jiang. I wonder how much silver it will cost."
"Mrs. Shen can give it to you when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen also returned the favor and said, "I heard that Master Xiao Jiang loves flowers. I have a few pots of orchids. I will have them delivered to Master Xiao Jiang's home when I get back."
Jiang Yueyang waved her hand to refuse, "Mrs. Shen, you don't have to be so polite. Just give me the money, and you don't need anything else."
"Yes, yes, it's settled."
After saying that, she didn't give Jiang Yueyang a chance to refuse, turned around and walked away quickly.
"Mrs. Shen."
Mrs. Shen pretended not to hear and walked faster and faster.
Jiang Yueyang looked at her back thoughtfully. Ye Wuhen had already replied to her letter yesterday, saying that he was willing to help cover for her.
In a few days, the things used to conceal the view of outsiders will be delivered to her villa.
Then she could give them all the fruits that the Queen wanted and all the potatoes and sweet potatoes that His Majesty wanted.
Jiang Yueyang was just thinking when the system suddenly said, "Host, there's something exciting going on in the hunting area. Go to the front row and watch."
【What's the excitement? 】
You'll find out when you go.
