Chapter 209: Interlude
The three brothers and sisters of the Cen family and the brothers and sisters of the Jin family talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good, and even the maids and guards who followed behind couldn't help but hook the corners of their mouths when they listened to the laughter of the masters.
The only thing that is incompatible with such a harmonious atmosphere is Cai Ruyu, who is sitting on horseback with a nervous face.
Since she was very depressed today, she originally thought that if she came to the hunting ground, she would have the opportunity to get close to Mo Junxuan or Mo Junfei, but she didn't think that on the way here, the two princes had been talking to a few sons around her, and there was no chance for her to interject.
They also had to compete to see who had hunted more and more prey, and they were very excited, and no one looked at her at all! And she didn't have the guts to follow them to the beast area inside the hunting ground.
Now there are two men left around Jin Muchen and Cen Hongmian, in terms of appearance and talent, Cen Hongmian is naturally very good, the head of the Cen family and the hereditary title of Marquis of Zhongyong, and he is also a top family in Sheng'an City, but the key is that Cen Hongmian is just a concubine, and he will definitely not inherit the title in the future, and the ranking is not up or down, and the status is embarrassing, such a man, Cai Ruyu naturally looks down on it, although the Cai family is lonely now, but she is also a concubine! Therefore, she never thought of attracting Cen Hongmian's interest in her.
And Jin Muchen, the eldest son of the Law Palace, is still the only son, and he will definitely inherit the throne in the future, if he can be the princess of the Law Palace, it will naturally be a good destination, and her father has not talked much about it over the years, and through this meaning, let her find a way to cage Jin Muchen's heart and marry into the Law Palace.
Jin Muchen never saw her in his eyes! For so many years, no matter how hard she tried or hinted, he was polite and polite to her, and even, she felt that he deliberately avoided her, even if they met, he almost didn't talk to her when he didn't speak!
For example, now, the brothers and sisters of the Cen family and the Jin family, laughing and chatting, ignore her, almost as if she didn't exist!
This made Cai Ruyu embarrassed at the same time, she was also very depressed and annoyed, but she was helpless.
After Cen Xiqin and Beware entered the hunting ground, he was also very excited, and he set up his bow and arrows when he found it, and he was ready to learn from those men and try it to see who hunted more prey and harvested a lot.
Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen, the two escorts, were not willing to be lonely, and took out bows and arrows, so they couldn't go back empty-handed.
And Cen Xiyan has always put himself in the position of foil, and he has no intention of really hunting prey, so he follows the team, watching them play happily, always with a faint smile on his face.
It's Yingxue, watching others shoot arrows with bows, and her hands are a little itchy, but she is a person who knows how to measure, and this kind of request must not be mentioned, so she can only look at it with greed.
Cai Ruyu also took the bow and arrow to make a appearance, in fact, she even pulled the bow open, she saw that Cen Xiyan didn't even take the bow, and finally found a chance to say, "Huh? Miss Cen Liu, where's your bow? ”
"I didn't bring it." Cen Xiyan responded lightly. In fact, the royal palace lacked nothing, she wanted to bring a bow and arrows, and she could bring them directly from the royal palace in the morning, but she had already made up her mind not to hunt, so she didn't bother to bring bows and arrows to pretend.
"Oh?" Cai Ruyu raised her eyebrows and said deliberately, "Did you forget to bring it?" The hunting ground guards should also have bows and arrows there, or should someone get them? ”
"No need." Cen Xiyan knew that Cai Ruyu suddenly talked to her, but she was not a kind chat, and she didn't bother to talk to this girl more, so she responded twice, and her words were very concise.
"Why not?" Cai Ruyu said with a strange face: "Didn't you say last night, Miss Cen Liu, you know archery?" Now that I'm in the royal hunting ground, wouldn't it be a pity not to play? ”
I'm waiting for her here! Cen Xiyan finally turned his head sideways and looked at Cai Ruyu, her penetrating gaze suddenly made Cai Ruyu's heart feel weak for a while, and her gaze couldn't help but dodge.
Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen listened to their conversation, and they both watched it, and they were a little strange, did Cen Xiyan really know archery? Can't! Who taught her? And she looks so gentle!
"Hey! You woman, why do you talk so much! Cen Xiqin said angrily.
At this time, Cen Xiyan stared at Cai Ruyu for a long time, and finally spoke, and she said in a calm voice: "My little archery skills, if I can't use any hands, I won't be ashamed." ”
Cai Ruyu's gaze at Shangcen Xiyan was weak, and even if she was unwilling, she didn't dare to say anything.
After the hiccup, the crowd continued to hunt their prey.
After Cen Xiqin shot the pheasant four times and missed the rabbit once, he looked at the eyes of his brother, sister, and good friend who couldn't help but smile, and his face was a little unbearable, "What are you laughing at!" What's so funny! ”
"Qin'er, I hunted a pheasant, huh? My brother and your third brother have gained even better, you have to work hard! Don't wait until we get back in the afternoon, you won't be able to hunt a single one. Jin Fang deliberately angered Cen Xiqin.
"Isn't there your Ruyu cousin at the bottom, what am I afraid of!" Cen Xiqin wanted to squeeze Cai Ruyu when she found an opportunity, but it can be imagined how much she hates Cai Ruyu.
Cai Ruyu heard the topic on herself, so she said: "I don't know martial arts or archery, but you can't compare with Miss Cen Qi, so I'll be a companion with Miss Cen Liu." ”
This is because with Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen on the side, Cai Ruyu's speech is much more restrained, not so ugly, but the meaning of the words is still harsh.
Jin Fang gave Cen Xiqin a look, meaning: What are you doing to provoke her if you have nothing to do!
Cen Xiqin was pushed back lukewarmly by Cai Ruyu, and he was also very depressed, and glanced back at the guards who followed closely and the soldiers sent by the hunting ground guards, and said loudly: "You all retreat!" What are you doing so closely, the prey is scared away by your movements, so I can't hunt anything! ”
This is a bit rude and unreasonable, but Cen Xiqin's temperament is just talking about it and venting the depressed emotions in his heart.
The people behind didn't dare not listen, so they all retreated some distance.
She was like this, and there was a burst of good-natured teasing from everyone.
"Keep retreating! Farther away, farther away! Cen Xiqin said again.
The men behind them stepped back a little further.
Cen Hongmian saw that the people behind him were really a little far away, so he opened his mouth and persuaded: "Okay, Seventh Sister, it's almost enough." ”
