A moment later, there was a group of people next to the camp, standing in the front was a girl in a white dress, fluttering clothes, her lips were red without dots, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, reflecting the sparkling waves, riding on a tall horse, she seemed to be slender and weak, and her body was petite, which was pitiful. But a fluffy reddish-brown fox tail behind her swayed openly, making her original Chu and moving image more playful.

She was followed by a dozen guards in armor, all of them majestic, but they still fell in front of Liam, who was full of oil smoke and buried in roasting meat. Liam's body is as strong as a hill, and even if he bends over to cook at this time, the exposed steel-like muscles on his body are still not to be underestimated.

Behind him, Zhao Yuan sat lazily on the ground, wearing a half-worn gray robe, holding a roast chicken, slightly bowing his head and feeding the little fox at his feet. He didn't look up at the visitor at all, just a faint expression, but there was a faint hint of gentle pampering in his expression. For some reason, the ninth princess couldn't help but look at him twice, and could hardly bear to break the harmonious and picturesque atmosphere with a sound.

As soon as Liam raised his head, he saw the stunned Nine Princesses, and he suddenly realized what Zhao Yuan said just now. With a big mouth, he greeted loudly: "Did the ninth princess smell the aroma of barbecue?"

Zhao Yuan sighed slightly in his heart, this Liam is really a reckless man. Sure enough, the ninth princess blushed and glared at Liam fiercely, this stinky lion thought she was a glutton, so she said coldly: "I saw Xue'er running to the side, so I followed it." ”

When the little fox heard the word "Xue'er", he thought that the ninth princess was calling it, so he hurriedly called to the ninth princess, turned his head and buried his face in the chicken again.

The eyes of the ninth princess moved, just bumped into Zhao Yuan who raised his head, and for a while felt that this man's gaze was as quiet and vast as the vast sky, and it was like a deep sea shadow hidden an unpredictable mystery, thinking of the identity of this person told her by the guards yesterday, her heart suddenly stopped irrepressibly for a moment, and then pounded, as if something was breaking open in her chest, flowing out hot liquid.

Zhao Yuan saw that the Ninth Princess suddenly blushed, and he was still muttering in his heart, but he said indifferently and gently: "Meet again, Ninth Princess." ”

The ninth princess seemed to be in a trance, and it took two seconds before she returned to her normal expression, her tone was arrogant, and she said with a cold expression: "I didn't know if it was Your Excellency Zhao Yuan yesterday, it was Ah Li who was rude." ”

Zhao Yuan just nodded, then stood up, wrapped the remaining roast chicken with the prepared oil paper, and handed it to the Ninth Princess: "It seems that your pet loves to eat very much, we just happened to hunt a lot of prey today, so let's give these to it." ”

The ninth princess didn't look at Zhao Yuan, just tilted her head slightly, signaled the guards behind her to take the wrapped roast chicken, and then picked up the little fox, raised her whip and rode away.

"What, this ninth princess is not polite at all, it's too bad, even if our second prince doesn't marry Xili, he won't marry such a woman!" Liam choked with ash and couldn't help complaining.

He was already a reckless and rude person, and he still had to be in awe when he saw Zhao Yuan, but these nine princesses looked down on people everywhere, and they were too arrogant.

Zhao Yuan didn't care so much about the difference between dignity and inferiority, he teased funny: "I don't know who shouted to compare with me on the first day I entered the mansion." ”

When Liam heard this, his face was hot, but fortunately, his face was red from the smoke of the barbecue, and he couldn't see it: "I'm not, I don't know how powerful the mage is, don't you know how powerful Your Excellency Zhao Yuan is?" That fox clan is the only race of the beast clan that is rich in mages, she is a princess, there is no reason to be ...... like me" Saying that, Liam thought of his newborn calf when he was not afraid of tigers, and his voice gradually became smaller.

"Hahahahahaha!" Zhao Yuan couldn't help laughing, it was not easy to see a reckless man like Liam blushing on weekdays.

Liam saw Zhao Yuanxiao's way of leaning forward and back, and he was eager to dig a pit and bury himself, but fortunately, he suddenly thought of the ninth princess, and quickly changed the topic: "Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, what can the ninth princess do, you can't use this method to lure her every day, right?"

Zhao Yuan showed an unfathomable smile, and only said to him: "You just have to do it as usual, I know everything in my heart." ”

Liam saw that Zhao Yuan was confident, and his heart was a little calmer, Mason asked him to listen to His Excellency Zhao Yuan's words, this is always right!

In the next two days, as Zhao Yuan said, the nine princesses would follow the little fox to Zhao Yuan's camp at noon every day, lead a chicken, say a few words that are not salty or light, and go back. Liam was anxious in his eyes, but Zhao Yuan stood still, still hunting and teasing the birds every day, and it seemed that it was exactly the same as the previous camping.

"Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, the Ninth Princess is leaving the hunting ground this afternoon!" Liam said worriedly.

Zhao Yuan glanced at him, shook his head and didn't speak.

Liam looked at him like this, and turned around anxiously, "Mason hasn't heard any news yet, where are they going next, why don't we ask today?"

Zhao Yuan looked at his anxious appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent: "What's the hurry, tomorrow's matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow, you roast the meat for me today!"

Liam couldn't be persuaded to do so, so he had to sigh heavily, and for the first time he felt so tired and worried, and went to the barbecue in frustration.

At noon, the ninth princess really came again, she just took the barbecue, a pair of beautiful eyes from Zhao Yuanqingjun's face, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard Liam say to Liam unintentionally: "I'm tired of eating barbecue these days, let's go back tomorrow, I heard that the lion clan has a sweet tooth that is very famous." ”

Liam didn't know why, and thought that Zhao Yuan had received Mason's summons, so he naturally answered: "Yes, our lion clan's popping cake is the top ten desserts of the beast clan, you haven't had a chance to eat it, it's a pity, fortunately, it's not too late! Speaking of which, the popping cake made by a shop in the east of the main city is the most authentic, I love to eat there since I was a child, if you want to eat it, I'll take you there tomorrow!"

When the ninth princess heard this, her face remained silent, but the hand holding the reins tightly revealed her inner unpeace. As usual, she immediately returned to her camp, but suddenly ordered: "According to the original plan, let's leave the hunting ground this afternoon." ”

The chief guard was a little surprised: "Your Royal Highness Princess, didn't you just say a few days ago that you would stay for a few more days?"

The Ninth Princess said coldly: "I just saw that Xue'er liked the barbecue, so I thought about letting it eat it a few more times, and now that everyone is gone, what are you doing here!" After speaking, she glanced at the chief guard with her eyes like ice, and the chief guard looked stiff and lowered his head deeply.

Back at the Second Prince's Mansion, Liam hung his head, and Mason and Zhao Yuan tacitly glanced at each other, both feeling very funny.

"What are you laughing at, when things can't be done, see what you do?" Liam said angrily.

Mason smiled and patted him: "Silly boy, haven't you noticed that in the past few days, a heart of the Ninth Princess has fallen on our Excellency Zhao Yuan, who is in the wind of Yushu?"

"What!" Liam screamed, almost jumping in shock. "Mason, you are not here, don't talk nonsense, that ninth princess is arrogant! After a few days, I still love to ignore His Excellency Zhao Yuan!"

When Mason heard this, he showed a surprised expression: "I didn't expect this ninth princess to be an innocent person. ”

"How do you say this?" This time even Zhao Yuan was confused.

Mason said: "As we all know, fox women have always been good at the art of charm, but the man found through the art of charm is not really in love after all, so some fox women often abandon the art of charm when they meet the person they like, hoping that the other party will like them completely because of themselves." ”

"No wonder!" exclaimed Liam, "I couldn't help but stare at the fox princess when I first saw her, but I didn't feel that way a few times later, and I even thought she wasn't as good-looking as Celie!"

"There is another point, Your Excellency Zhao Yuan and I have not told you, for fear that you will show your flaws. Mason said: "The ninth princess of the fox clan, although she has awakened her bloodline, has always been at the center of the palace battle storm of the fox clan, so she is a very strong person, which is why she chose to marry the lion clan, in the fox clan, the status of men is not as good as that of women." And His Excellency Zhao Yuan is young, he is already an eighth-order archmage, a distinguished guest of the lion clan, and he is stronger than the second prince of the eldest prince, I don't know how much, the ninth princess must be tempted!"

Zhao Yuan was next to him but smiled silently, he was completely unconfident to do this, but it was Mason who told him this, so he was sure. Now it seems that Mason's words are really right, the ninth princess didn't take him seriously at all when she saw him for the first time, but when she saw him for the second time, she showed affection, and her attitude was simply a hundred and eighty degree change.

"Isn't it good for us to lie to other girls like this?" said Liam, with some concern.

Mason was a little unimpressed by his words: "As long as she can help the second prince, when the second prince ascends the throne, she will naturally choose a good match for her, which is better than the eldest prince!"

Liam still looked a little unbearable, but he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Yuan didn't care about these, his impression of the Ninth Princess was just mediocre, and what Mason said was right, although they did this, although it was not a gentleman's doing, but it was also more beneficial to the Nine Princesses than it was disadvantages.

In Vanity Fair, feelings and women are always the first to be sacrificed, and Zhao Yuan has seen a lot of such things. He is not a saint, he can only try to take care of his relatives and friends, as for the others, where can he take care of so much?

Maybe one day he will meet a woman he loves, and he will have different feelings at that time, but at least at this time, Zhao Yuan's thoughts are completely the same as Mason's.
