Chapter 25: Losing to the prince willingly

The autumn hunting meeting organized by the Duke of Qi was held in the Royal Pear Garden.

In the entire capital, in addition to the royal family, I am afraid that only the Duke of Qi Guo can have this qualification to hold a banquet in the royal pear garden.

The invited ladies and sons gathered together, befriended each other, or fathers, all gathered together, boasting about the skirt of the young lady on the left, praising the head of the young lady on the right, and even the beautiful bun can be praised by many people in different ways.

That's all there is to the joy of the daughter's family.

If it were usual, Qin Chaojiu would naturally be excluded by all the girls.

But today, when the Mansion of Qi Guo was the east, Qi Leyu, the eldest lady of Qi, took the initiative to take Qin Chaojiu's hand and brought her to herself, and according to her appetite, she specially prepared many delicious pastries and fruits.

"Mingxiao, you came just in time, Second Miss Qin has just arrived in the capital, and she has never participated in such an autumn hunting party, you have to protect her well later, you know?"

Qi Leyu opened his mouth to stop a man in a red and blue brocade robe on the side, and looked at Qin Chaojiu's body.

Qi Mingxiao is the prince of Qi Guo's mansion, although he has already reached the age when he should get married, but because of his chic personality and lingering in the Qinglou, he has been divorced by many noble girls, and now, even the daughter of a six-grade petty official is unwilling to marry.

If you can marry the second lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, it will not be easy.

Qi Mingxiao was still a little reluctant to be arranged by his family, but now he was stunned in place, looking at Qin Chaojiu's face that was completely stunned.

"Mingxiao?"

Qi Leyu called softly.

Qi Mingxiao's eyes didn't move, and drooling out.

Qi Leyu's eyes narrowed fiercely, and his palm slapped heavily on the table: "Qi Chaoyang!" ”

When Qi Mingxiao heard his name, he was stunned.

It had been a long time since he had come of age that his name had been called.

Qi Mingxiao raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Qi Leyu with a smile: "I heard the eldest sister, don't worry, Second Miss Qin is so delicate, you can't be frightened by those beasts in the hunting ground, I will definitely protect Second Miss Qin." ”

"King Beimu has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness has arrived!"

The hunt was about to begin, and the hunting ground suddenly ushered in the sound of the waiters cheering.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the past.

Qin Chaojiu also looked at the entrance of the enclosure with everyone.

Xiao Changdui was dressed in a lilac dark pattern robe, his steps were steady, his posture was straight, and the picturesque posture of heaven and man seemed to compare the colors of all things.

Every time he took a step closer, the curvature of the corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth became.

"Greetings to King Beimu, greetings to His Royal Highness No. 2, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Qin Chaojiu's voice was clearly drowned in everyone, but for some reason, her voice was all listened to by Xiao Changdui word by word.

What she said was, "Say hello to King Beimu." ”

Yes, there is only King Beimu, and there is no Second Highness.

It's not that Qin Chaojiu deliberately grandstands, in fact, since Xiao Changdu's eyes appeared, she only saw him alone.

Listening to the surrounding voices asking for peace to His Second Highness, Qin Chaojiu was obviously stunned, and his stunning little face was obviously a piece of surprise.

This appearance of not taking Xiao Zhen in his eyes really pleased Xiao Changdui greatly.

Xiao Changdui was in a good mood, his eyes met with Qin Chaojiu in mid-air, and he saw the woman raise her chin slightly, her expression was flying, and her eyebrows were dancing.

"Lord Wang, do you want to prepare a horse for you?" Qi Mingxiao stepped forward, lowered his head and clenched his fists, and asked respectfully.

Qi Leyu sweated for his younger brother.

Because the younger brother doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do anything, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, so even as the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion, he only received an idle position in the court and has nothing to do every day.

At this moment, in front of the decisive Beimu prince, don't embarrass them to the Duke Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Qi Mingxiao behaved extremely calmly, his back was straight, his voice was calm, if you looked closely, he was even calmer than Xiao Zhen behind Xiao Changdui.

Xiao Changdui nodded and said, "Go and prepare." ”

"Yes!"

With a jujube high-headed horse pulled out, this autumn hunt finally began.

The sons of the family rushed out to hunt, which was the most important thing for men to do.

Their purpose at the beginning of today was to show their majesty among the many noble women, but now, they have one more pursuit to let the prince of Beimu take a closer look.

Therefore, many men are galloping, and no one refuses to lag behind.

Qin Chaojiu wore a riding suit with red clothes and white pants today, heroic and generous, and with a whistle, she had rushed out first.

The disciples of the family who were still talking cruelly to each other were left far behind.

Many sons who were about to kill the Quartet immediately looked at each other with a confused expression.

"Who? Who just passed? ”

"I only saw a swish, I don't know who it is? Isn't everyone here? ”

"It won't be...... King Beimu, right? Someone muttered cautiously.

Before he could finish speaking, another hurricane whistled by.

Everyone saw it really this time, and the person who passed this time was King Beimu.

Xiao Changdui chose a route diametrically opposed to Qin Chaojiu and ran, although the two didn't say a word, just in the glance they had just met, a consensus had been reached in their minds.

They want to compete with each other.

Xiao Changdui deliberately set off a moment late, just to let Qin Chaojiu choose a direction first.

A gray rabbit jumped in front of her, and when Qin Chaojiu raised her hand to draw her bow, a sharp arrow had already broken through the air one step ahead of her.

Hit the target.

Qin Chaojiu frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he happened to see the corners of Qi Mingxiao's mouth raised slightly.

There was a deliberate smile on his handsome cheeks, the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted upward, and the moment Qin Chaojiu saw it, he blew on his leaning down flowing bangs.

Qi Mingxiao sighed secretly in his heart, with his eyes and movements at the moment, it was not an exaggeration to take down ten Qin Dynasty who had never seen anything in the world.

In fact, he did impress Qin Chaojiu.

Qin Chaojiu decided that the person who had already been in this position would not teach him a lesson, and he would not know what it meant to be someone outside the world.

Next, it's her hunting moment.

"Whoosh!"

Qi Mingxiao shot another arrow, but unexpectedly, he was missed by Qin Chaojiu's arrow halfway, and then, Qin Chaojiu's second arrow hit a pheasant faster than him.

Next, Qin Chaojiu either made a quick move, or he deliberately made a mistake.

As a result, Qi Mingxiao had nothing to gain except for the rabbit at the beginning.

And when Qin Chaojiu's hunting time came, he had already harvested a lot.

Qin Chaojiu rode back from horseback and learned that her swordsmanship was accurate and her horsemanship was superb, which immediately attracted the attention of many people who admired Qiang.

Qi Mingxiao came out on horseback.

Miss Qi hurriedly stepped forward to ask, thinking that Qi Mingxiao was injured: "What's the matter?" But where did it hurt? ”

Qi Mingxiao turned his head and got off the horse, his face was full of anger and depression, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Chaojiu's body.

He was indeed wounded, and it hurt his fragile pride.

He is a dignified little grandfather, and he claims to be the best at riding horses and archery, who would have thought that he would be defeated by a woman.

Where else is he going to put his face?!

Originally, I just thought that this woman had a good skin, and it would be good to marry home.

But now, his mind has changed, he wants to marry her into the door, let her kneel on the ground and admit her mistake to herself, and see if she dares to steal the limelight like this!

"How?"

Suddenly, a low and good-sounding voice, but like a bell crashing into everyone's hearts, slowly sounded, making people's hearts tremble, and they didn't feel able to hold their breath, not daring to be presumptuous.

Xiao Changdui asked the subordinate who counted the prey.

The subordinate knelt down and responded: "Back to the prince, all the prey of the young ladies has been verified. The prince hunted a roe deer, three rabbits, and two pheasants...... It is the leader of this autumn hunt. ”

When Qin Chaojiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "I don't accept it, I also hunt the same amount of prey, why is it not me?" ”

"Hiss......"

Countless gasping voices resounded behind Qin Chaojiu.

It's a pity that Qin Chaojiu is neither humble nor arrogant, so he has to ask his subordinates clearly.

A layer of sweat broke out in the subordinate's brain, he was just a small minion, he couldn't afford to offend King Beimu, and he couldn't afford to offend the others here either.

When Qin Jingxi heard this, her heart suddenly moved, and she took a step forward and said: "Sister, you have already hit so many prey, you are more powerful than many people, why do you have to fight for a ranking, left and right, we are our daughter's family, it is enough to be gentle and kind." ”

Qin Chaojiu is now more and more unwilling to see this fake sister.

Her cold ink eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting a faint light: "Sister, you see that rabbit is so cute, the rabbit is so cute, how can you kill the rabbit, my sister is so gentle and kind, I can't bear to let it die." Go and take the rabbit to pull out the arrows and bandage them. ”

Don't come and talk to them who are dressed in riding clothes and carrying bows and arrows.

lest she can't help it, give her an arrow to cool her heart.

"Pss

Qi Mingxiao, who was still angry just now, really couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

As Qi Mingxiao took the lead, many young ladies and sons also laughed.

Qin Jingxi's face instantly flushed with shame.

Her gaze subconsciously looked in the direction of Xiao Zhen, but she saw Xiao Zhen's eyes with a faint dark light, and she was looking at Qin Chaojiu intently at the moment.

Such affectionate paragraphs, strong affection.

Qin Jingxi finally couldn't help but call softly: "Second Highness." ”

In the next moment, Xiao Zhen's gaze was blocked by a wide back.

It was Qi Mingxiao.

Qi Mingxiao came to the middle, took the initiative to count the prey, pointed his finger to one of them, and said: "Second Miss Qin, the prince has all the mouths alive, and the taste will be even more when he cooks it later, you really lost." ”

Qin Chaojiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Changdu, who was tall.

The fair-skinned and graceful jade neck suddenly revealed a particularly attractive appearance with her movements.

It is clear that she is a woman who grew up in the countryside, but her skin is as crystal and delicate as a godsend, as if it is shining with light.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and there is a rippling arc at the end of her eyes, looking at Xiao Changdu's heart-pounding face, her crimson lips suddenly opened, and she sighed lightly: "It's me who lost, but I can lose to the prince, Chaojiu is willing." ”

"Huh."

Xiao Changdu's cold voice chuckled, and then said, "I don't know who just said that I was unconvinced?" ”
