After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

The autumn hunting event held by the royal family was naturally grand.

And this time, both the ministers and their wives went to the hunting ground together.

The royal hunting ground is in the western suburbs. It has been built since the founding of the Dajing Kingdom. It is usually used as a training ground for the eight battalions, but it was vacated at this time.

And this place is close to Huishan, so there are many small animals.

"Miss, here we are."

Tao Zhu also wore a riding suit today, looking very neat.

"Mom, come on down, we're here."

Nangong Yuan turned back to pick her up.

Madam Shen helped her get off the carriage and said, "I haven't been here for many years."

"Yeah, I remember the last time I went hunting was five or six years ago."

Mrs. Shen happened to run into a few other noble ladies, and started chatting with them on the spot.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time. Madam, you still look so good."

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm busy with the affairs of the mansion all day and really don't have time to go out and play."

Opposite was a family from the Duke's Mansion. A few people exchanged greetings for a while before entering.

"Everyone, please come in."

It's a sunny day today, so the banquet was held outside.

The queen also came out for this autumn hunt.

She sat next to the emperor, and her face looked much more haggard.

Nangong Yuan and a few others sat aside, as it was almost time.

The emperor and empress on the high platform said a few symbolic words.

"Autumn hunting is for fun, and also to see the abilities of the children of the noble families in Kyoto. Whoever comes out on top will be rewarded by me."

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, with his fifth prince beside him.

The fifth prince was about thirteen years old, still a boy, but he looked quite respectable.

Nangong Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Not bad, no wonder His Majesty chose him as the Crown Prince."

She was having all sorts of wild thoughts in her mind, and those who were going hunting went out one after another.

"Today, I will definitely hunt wild animals for my father, the emperor and my mother."

Prince Li seemed to be in high spirits, but it was unclear whether he was pretending.

"By the way, Fifth Brother is old enough, why don't you come and play with me?"

The emperor nodded and said, "That's great. Xiaowu has learned horse riding and archery these days. I think he is pretty good at it. Go ahead."

"Yes, Father."

The fifth prince Xiao Weiye walked out and bowed.

He indeed looked very proper and polite, completely different from the somewhat sinister King Li today.

Nangong Yuan wondered, how did things turn out like this?

A year ago, Prince Li was still a beloved prince who was the center of attention.

Now he is not even as good as a prince without a title. It really shows how unpredictable the world is. It is really sad.

But on second thought, King Li is a person that is hard to describe in a few words.

His overly smooth first half of life made him extremely proud and conceited, and he didn't care at all whether he would fail or not.

He deserves the fate he has ended up in.

"Miss, let's go, let's start."

Tao Zhu smiled and handed her the bow and arrow.

"Then mother, I will go first."

Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded: "Go, be careful and don't get hurt."

"Do not worry."

Nangong Yuan stood up, put on the quiver, and mounted his horse.

Her horse was a good horse from the general's mansion, usually used as a war horse.

The horse is pitch black, with smooth and shiny fur, and its limbs are very well-proportioned and extremely beautiful.

“That is…who is that?”

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman who was riding the horse gracefully, feeling a little curious.

"Oh, you must have forgotten. That's the young lady of the Nangong family, her name is Nangong Yuan."

"Oh, yes, yes, it's been so long since we last met, I don't remember some of it."

Before, Nangong Yuan had always been gentle and dignified like a lady from a noble family in front of them, but this was rare today.

She just pulled the phone and said, "Go!"

The horse broke into a run and rushed out like a flash of black lightning.

"Miss, wait for me!"

Soon, everyone rode into the woods.

Nangong Yuan drew his bow and shot an arrow, whoosh!

The long arrow flew out immediately and hit a wild rabbit.

"Bring it here quickly."

The guards standing not far away hurried forward and collected the prey.

"This belongs to Miss Nangong."

He wrote it down and put it in his backpack.

When the children of noble families go hunting in autumn, they are usually protected by guards.

Moreover, many young dandies will also show off their skills on this day. They will not shoot themselves but let the guards do it. Anyway, they just want to avoid being too embarrassed.

"Wow, Miss is amazing!"

Tao Zhu shot an arrow from behind and soon hit a pheasant.

"We can take these back and have them cooked in the kitchen. We haven't eaten wild animals for a long time."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Yes, I also feel that the taste in my mouth is a bit bland, the food can be improved."

She was quite happy today, so she hunted a lot of prey along the way.

"deer!"

Nangong Yuan looked up and saw a spotted deer leaping through the bushes.

"Chase!"

The two men rode their horses at full speed and rushed into the woods.

Nangong Yuan leaned forward slightly, then drew the longbow.

But the deer was very agile and it was impossible to aim at it.

Nangong Yuan had no choice but to chase for a while longer.

"Leave me alone!"

The next moment, three long arrows shot out almost one after another!

Teng!

The deer neighed and fell to the ground.

Tao Zhu cheered: "Wow, Miss hit it, hit it!"

"Hurry up and take it. The weather is changing for the fall. Eat some venison to warm yourself up."

Although it is sunny today, it is inevitable that there will be wind in autumn.

So Nangong Yuan was not wearing thin clothes today.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Tao Zhu took a few steps forward, and the next moment he was suddenly pushed away.

"Miss!"

Nangong Yuan was stunned for a moment and saw someone approaching from not far away.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince."

"Well, there are traps here, be careful."

The fifth prince nodded slightly and said, "Look."

Sure enough, the trap was very hidden. It seemed to be set to trap prey. No one must have noticed it for a long time, so it had not been dismantled.

If Tao Zhu had gone over just now, he would probably have been injured.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Fifth Prince."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of hands."

Despite his young age, he appears to be very mature and serious.

Nangong Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "How many prey did the Fifth Prince catch?"

"Not much. I'm not a very good rider."

Although he said so, looking at the prey the guards behind him were carrying, there were also a lot.

"Your Highness is really modest. Isn't this a lot of prey?"

"You're good too."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Give this deer to Your Highness. You saved my maid just now, so I have to thank you for that."

"No, you can keep it for yourself."

He didn't accept it, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go take a look ahead."

"Okay, your highness, take care."

Nangong Yuan saluted, and the man walked away with his men.

"Miss, I didn't expect the Fifth Prince to be so approachable."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that he is so mature at such a young age. It seems that he will be a big shot in the future."
