"I'll go back to my house when I go home, so I won't go to see him." Lin Yanxi lay on the bed and turned over, "He doesn't want to see me anyway."

Chestnut saw that she was not interested in what she was doing, and came up with an idea: "Miss, tomorrow is Tian Hunting, and there is just a good bow among the old things we brought from the Taifu Mansion."

"I took it from my wife's dowry, and when you wanted to learn martial arts a few days ago, the prince gave you a short sword, and you can use this good bow to return the gift."

"Good bow?" She thought about it, as if there was something going on, and suddenly became interested.

She didn't care if she could see Shen Muzhou to ease the relationship, the main reason was that the master needed the red deer, and she had to take the initiative to ease the relationship even if it was for the master.

Yes, everything is for the sake of Master.

She ordered Chestnut to bring the bow and arrows.

"It's a good bow." Lin Yanxi's plain white hand stroked the bow and arrow, and let out a heartfelt admiration.

The bow is made of the finest Dongyang elm wood, which is lightweight, has good water storage and is tough enough to rebound, and the wood of the bow body is entrenched in a dragon carved of pure gold, lifelike, and the handle is also carved with auspicious clouds.

It's just a pity that this bow has been left for too long and has not been maintained, and the bowstring has lost some tenacity, and I am afraid that it will break if the stress collapses.

She couldn't help but feel a little sorry when she saw the bowstring, but she quickly thought of a solution, "Let's go, let's make a new bowstring and replace it."

In her previous life, when she was stupid, she always read some books, and she didn't understand the content of the books but had the ability to never forget them.

Lin Yanxi tossed the chestnuts for an afternoon before he could barely make a bowstring and replace it.

The bow and arrows were wrapped with gold and silver decorations, adding a lot of weight, and Lin Yanxi's petite body, carrying a heavy bow, walked from the small kitchen to Shen Muzhou's courtyard step by step.

She took two steps and rested for a while, and many people in the palace saw that they wanted to go up and help carry the bow and arrows back, but she refused.

By the time she reached out to his yard, she was already panting for breath with exhaustion, and her hair was a little messy on her forehead, and she stretched out her little hand to arrange her hair before continuing to walk.

"Second Miss."

The guards outside Shen Muzhou's courtyard stopped her with a sad face.

"I have something to give him." Lin Yanxi's voice is soft and cute, and her white little face is puffy with puffy cheeks because of the heavy bow on her back all the way, which is very good-looking.

It wasn't the first time the guards had seen her, but when they talked to such a cute little beauty, they were still a little uneasy, and they didn't dare to meet her eyes.

He said stiffly, "Then the young lady will wait outside, and the little one will go and help you announce."

Ever since Shen Muzhou heard her words, it had become like this between them, and his courtyard was no longer a place she could enter casually.

"Okay, that's bothering you." Lin Yanxi's eyes were slightly bent with a smile, she was polite and polite, and she was never embarrassed, and the people in the Dark Night Division liked her very much.

She waited outside for a while, and the guard replied, "Second Miss, the prince still has important things to do, and he has no time to meet him, so it is better for you to leave a bow and arrow, and the small one will help you present it to the prince."

Lin Yanxi originally wanted to use this object to meet Shen Muzhou, ease relations with him, and talk about the master.

But he obviously didn't want to see him, or maybe he was really busy, so she said, "No, I'd better come back later."

When she was about to leave with a bow on her back, a pure white moonlight dress appeared in the palace.

Luo Jingxin's hair bun was wearing a pearl and swaying, and with her steps, there was a regular collision sound, not fast or slow, generous and decent.

She saw Lin Yanxi pause, and her lips were painted with brightly colored lipstick, which was incredibly beautiful.

"Why is my sister standing outside the courtyard and not going in?"

Lin Yanxi carried the bow on his back, and his hand clenched uncomfortably.

Luo Jingxin took her arm and walked into the courtyard: "Since you are here, let's go in together, the prince will personally take me back to the house in the morning, and invite me to dinner this evening."

Lin Yanxi was pulled by her and walked a few steps, and the guard let Luo Jingxin go

went in and stopped Lin Yanxi again.

He stretched out his arm straight, facing Lin Yanxi and didn't know what to say.

Lin Yanxi smiled bitterly and said, "I won't go in."

Luo Jingxin stared at her and smiled contemptuously, "It seems that this is the only way."

"Lord Chaoyang."

A familiar voice sounded, and the tone was flat and not angry.

Shen Muzhou stood on the blue and white stone steps, his eyes swept over Lin Yanxi and the bow and arrow behind her without stopping.

Luo Jingxin twisted his slender waist and walked inside, and entered the house with Shen Muzhou.

Lin Yanxi looked inside and was stunned for a while, but the guard couldn't bear to see the little girl sad and reminded: "Second Miss, the night is late and the autumn is cold, go back, this bow and arrow will help you transfer it to the past, and the prince will definitely know the second lady's mind when he sees the bow and arrow."

She walked all the way with the bow and arrow on her back, her thin body was already hurt by the bow, she nodded, unloaded her things, and handed them to the guard.

Don't forget to thank you before leaving.

Shen Muzhou and Luo Jingxin sat at the same table after eating, Luo Jingxin gave him vegetables, and from time to time said some interesting things in the court, after speaking, he laughed out loud, and Shen Muzhou sat opposite her with an indifferent face.

"Let's try this, it's not bad." Luo Jingxin took a piece of chicken and put it on Shen Muzhou's plate.

He frowned slightly, thinking of the scene where Lin Yanxi said that the chef in the house was cooking unpalatable, and he was cooking roast chicken in the yard.

Her tender little cheeks were stuffed with chicken, like a little rabbit nibbling on turnips.

Thinking of this, he smiled.

Seeing him smile, Luo Jingxin hurriedly took another piece of chicken and put it on his plate, his eyes full of cautious flattery.

The smile on his face only retracted for a moment, and the two pieces of chicken on the plate did not move, but he took a bite of the dish and ate it himself.

Luo Jingxin immediately understood that his laughter was not because of her, all his joy and anger were concerned about another person.

"It's a hard time to eat." Luo Jingxin pressed the chopsticks on the table, and his voice trembled slightly.

Shen Muzhou's face still didn't react, picked up a glass of warm wine, and took a sip.

He looked at her with an unusually cold look in his eyes, "If you don't like it, let the cook change it to something else next time."

"That's not what I'm talking about, you know."

Shen Muzhou put down the porcelain cup in his hand and let out a crisp "clang", he said, "If the county lord of Chaoyang has figured it out, he can leave the palace at any time, and I will talk to my father."

Luo Jingxin's eyes instantly turned red, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she walked to Shen Muzhou and sat down, lying on his lap and crying, "I don't want it, I won't go anywhere, only by your side."

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been."

Shen Muzhou never made any response.

Late at night, Shen Muzhou sat alone in the study, the darkness wrapped him, he was used to sitting in the dark until dawn since he was a child.

He thought of many things in his mind, thinking that when he was a child, he liked to be a canary all the time, that finch was delicate and beautiful, and was kept in a golden cage made of pure gold, and the first thing Shen Muzhou did when he came back from Guozijian every day was to feed it, and he never hesitated to feed it.

But it was still restless, and liked to flutter its wings in the cage, until one day he accidentally opened the door of the cage, and the canary flew out, and it flew out of the window without heeding the old feelings, and no matter how much he chased it, it would not stop, and flew higher and higher.

Until the palace people caught it and sent it back, he locked it up again, and ripped its wings, and from then on it would not fly away even if the cage was opened, but the fragile and beautiful canary died in the cage a few days later.

Later, he realized that like the kind of bird that did not want to be restrained, if it had no wings, it would die, but deep down in his heart, he had never regretted what he had done to the canary.

The more he thought about it, the colder it became, the coldness that went deep into his heart.

"Lord Wang, why don't you light wax." Xiaoliu walked in with a lantern.

Shen Muzhou looked at the faint candlelight and asked

"What did she want to bring me this afternoon?"

"A bow and arrow, I heard from someone that she brought it from the Taifu Mansion, and it was carved with a cloud dragon in gold, which is lifelike, and the second lady has been busy all afternoon in order to replace the bow with a good string, in fact, ...... Actually, Lord Wang, I think, I think the second lady is not a ruthless person."

"Take the bow with you. Tomorrow we'll leave a quarter of an hour early."

"Yes, Lord Wang, do you need to let the second lady know?"

Shen Muzhou thought for a while and said, "No need, Shen Qingyun has just been deposed as the crown prince, and the queen will definitely not stop there, but I am afraid that on the way to the hunting ground, it will be impossible to prevent it, you stay and protect her to go alone later."

"Yes, Lord."

---

In the early morning, there was a noise outside the courtyard, and there was a lot of commotion.

Lin Yanxi didn't sleep much that night, and fell asleep in a daze just after dawn, and was woken up after a while.

She vaguely shouted, "Chestnut, chestnut!"

Hearing this, Chestnut hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, then turned around and closed the door again, "Miss, are you awake?"

"Hurry up and freshen up, this field hunting is going to stay in the hunting ground for two nights, and I'm packing up outside."

When Lin Yanxi washed up slowly, when he walked outside the mansion, only Xiaoliu and a carriage remained.

Xiao Liu said, "Second Miss, the prince and the county lord have rushed to the hunting ground first, and the little one will escort the second lady over."

Chestnut said, "Our young lady came out not late, and she had a stick of incense early."

"It was the prince who had something to do temporarily, so he decided to go earlier, and they left in a hurry, so they didn't have time to inform the second lady."

Lin Yanxi nodded, didn't say anything, and followed Xiaoliu into the carriage, along with chestnuts.

Royal Hunting Grounds.

Lin Yanxi came in for the first time and saw the scene of the royal hunt.

Many tents had been set up in the open space, and the most imposing tent was His Majesty's, and from a distance, the emperor could be seen followed by a woman with a bulging lower abdomen, who was her aunt, Concubine Yu.

There were two layers of guards standing outside the emperor's tent, and in addition, there were also Jin Wuwei with knives pinned to their waists and the guards patrolling back and forth.

Outside the tent was a row of horses, about a dozen of them, all sweaty and bloody.

Such a horse is sold for thousands of taels of gold in the people, and in the hunting ground, it is just a horse that is tethered outside for people to play.

"Yan Xi!"

Luo Wanwan saw Lin Yanxi and Lizi coming over from afar, and greeted them excitedly.

Lin Yanxi also walked over happily and smiled, "Evening!"

The two little girls hadn't seen each other for a long time since the last time they said goodbye, and they happily pulled each other and couldn't let go of their hands.

Shen Yu also followed, looked straight behind Lin Yanxi and asked, "Xiao Jiuhe...... Didn't the county lord of Chaoyang come with you?"

Lin Yanxi shook his head and said, "They set off before me, haven't they arrived yet?"

Shen Yu didn't think much about it and said, "Maybe it's delayed on the road."

As soon as these words fell, I saw Xiao Liu hurriedly get on his horse and run outside the paddock with a team of guards from the Dark Night Division.
