The next morning, news of the lifting of the ban spread, but for some reason, no one discussed why the ban was suddenly lifted yesterday.

The winter hunting season had just begun, but the Emperor, unlike in the past, did not participate and simply asked everyone to move around freely without holding any competitions.

The Queen was not present, and even the princes were absent. Only the Third Prince showed up with Li Wanqing.

The other ministers also just went through the motions and then went back to their own tents to rest.

Only a few young men were left, riding their horses, eager to try on the field.

Lin Qingye only showed up and was about to go back to his tent when he was stopped by Lin Qingyao.

Lin Qingyao changed her attitude from a few days ago and suddenly became arrogant.

I saw that the maid serving her was replaced by a new person. She seemed to be a stranger, but her behavior made her look like someone from the palace.

Lin Qingyao raised her eyebrows and asked provocatively, "Sister, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Lin Qingye didn't want to argue with Lin Qingyao at the moment, so she bowed slightly.

"I'm feeling a little unwell, so I want to go back to the tent and rest."

Seeing that Lin Qing also lowered his attitude, Lin Qingyao became more and more proud. She smiled with an ambiguous smile and said.

"Sister, today is the first day of the winter hunt. How can you leave before the Third Prince gives the order? Do you think you don't take the Third Prince seriously?"

Ye Tinghua, who was not far away, came forward and said without asking any questions after hearing what was said.

"Miss Lin, what's the urgent matter? I've always heard that Miss Lin is very good at riding and shooting, and I'm planning to show you some of her skills today."

When Lin Qingyao saw Ye Tinghua coming forward, she couldn't stop smiling, and her almond-shaped eyes were curved.

She was wearing a peach pink silk dress today and had put on rouge of the same color. With her peach pink pearl headpiece, she looked even more seductive.

So much so that many young men present were secretly looking at her, which made Lin Qingyao even more proud.

In contrast, Lin Qingye was still wearing a plain dress today, and even her hair was casually pinned behind her head with a wooden hairpin.

Although Lin Qingye's facial features were bright, she had not had a good rest in the past two days. In addition, she was dressed simply, so at first glance, she did look inferior to the carefully dressed Lin Qingyao.

Lin Qing had to rush back overnight to get the antidote for Ye Tingxuan, and she had not slept all night because of the eldest prince's matter. She only took a nap in the early morning. At this moment, she felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Lin Qing had no intention of getting entangled with Ye Tinghua and Lin Qingyao here. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

So Lin Qing walked straight towards Ye Tinghua and bowed slightly.

"Your Highness, I am not feeling well today. I just want to return to the tent and rest as soon as possible. I hope Your Highness will understand."

Before Ye Tinghua could respond, Lin Qingyao on the side spoke first.

"Sister, what's wrong? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at you?"

Lin Qing also controlled his facial expression and smiled hypocritically.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. I guess it's because I drank a few glasses of cold wine last night. I'll be fine if I go back and have a rest."

Lin Qingyao seemed to see through Lin Qingye's thoughts. She had no intention of letting her leave today, so she continued to pester her.

"Sister, this cold can be serious or minor. Let's ask the imperial physician to take a look. What if you get sick due to negligence? That would be terrible."

Seeing that Lin Qingyao was so aggressive, Lin Qing simply stopped hiding.

She chuckled and then changed the subject, "Sister came here with mother, how come you didn't see mother?"

Lin Qingyao obviously didn't expect that Lin Qing would suddenly shift the topic to Shen, and her face suddenly changed.

Lin Qingyao really couldn't say it. After her and Shen's carriage broke down, Shen and she changed into servants' clothes together.

They happened to meet the Second Prince's carriage on the way. In order to give Lin Qingyao and the Second Prince some space to be alone together, Shen disguised herself as an old woman and hid behind the servants in the mansion.

I guess at this moment Shen is still on her way with the group of maids and old women she brought with her.

The city of Kyoto was neither close nor far from the hunting grounds, and Lin Qingyao and her companions' carriage broke down on the road not far from the city.

Therefore, if Shen wants to come over, it will probably take two days.

At this moment, Lin Qingyao suddenly regretted stopping Lin Qingye in front of everyone. She really didn't expect that Lin Qingye would think of this.

Just when Lin Qingyao was at a loss, a report from the eunuch came.

"The noble lady has arrived..."

Everyone knelt down and saluted.

Not far away, Concubine Yu was walking slowly towards this side, supported by her nanny.

When he reached a certain position, he stopped and spoke lazily.

"What happened? Why is it so lively?"

When Lin Qingyao saw Concubine Yu, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She walked to Concubine Yu's side eagerly, looked at Lin Qingye provocatively and said.

"My sister said that she drank a few glasses of cold wine last night because she wanted to cool down. Now she feels a little unwell and wants to go back to rest.

I was a little worried and wanted her to ask the imperial physician to take a look, but my sister seemed to be unwilling to appreciate it and was having a quarrel with me.

Your Majesty has come at the right time, and is helping your servant to persuade your sister."

When Concubine Yu heard this, she looked at Lin Qingye calmly.

Seeing that Lin Qing was dressed simply and didn't look like that arrogant person, he let down his guard.

She looked at Lin Qingye steadily and said, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Qing also had a very bad impression of Concubine Yu. She remembered that Concubine Yu in her previous life had always indulged her two sons in doing evil things outside, and she would clean up the mess every time something went wrong.

Although Lin Qingye had no chance to come into contact with Concubine Yu in her previous life, she often followed Ye Tinghua and took care of the aftermath of the second and fourth princes born to Concubine Yu.

Lin Qing bowed to Concubine Yu neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then spoke slowly.

"In reply to your Excellency, I am indeed feeling unwell, but I dare not trouble the imperial physician to come and treat me. I just need to rest for a while."

Only at this moment did Yu Guiren truly see that Lin Qing was also here. She gradually narrowed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her carefully.

I saw her facial features and figure, and I felt like I was very familiar with them.

After she pondered for a moment, she finally remembered.

Doesn’t the face of the person in front of me look exactly like the person in the painting hanging in the partition of the Emperor’s study?

After confirming this, Concubine Yu's eyes turned gradually fierce when she looked at Lin Qingye.

But suddenly she came to her senses and realized that the girl in front of her did not seem to be the same age as the person in the painting.

Although the facial features and figure are the same, the person in front of me looks like someone who has just reached the age of 15.
