Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Chapter 16: Scaring People with Their Faces

Next came the eunuch Fulu, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

Because he was standing sideways, he was facing Xiao Zhixing, and his eyes were wide open at this moment.

Concubine Zhang was already staring at Xiao Zhixing, half leaning on the long table, looking as if she was about to faint from the anger.

Her reaction naturally attracted the attention of the emperor and the empress dowager.

Then, the mother and son's pupils began to tremble violently.

Zhao Yunqi stood up suddenly.

The expressions on his face changed in turn from shock, suspicion, dreaminess, sadness, joy, excitement, and suspicion again, which was extremely exciting.

The old empress dowager was already feeling dizzy and was holding her head.

Leaning on the equally shocked personal nanny, he closed his eyes, opened them again, closed them again, and finally opened them.

Yanyuntai fell into a depressing and heavy silence.

In addition to those who were in the situation, even the younger generation held their breath, sensing something bad.

The only one there was Xiao Zhixing, who looked relaxed and was playing with the hilt of his sword, looking around with a look of pure curiosity.

The audience in the live broadcast room also felt confused.

[What's going on? Why do you think our princess has such a weird expression? ]

[That’s right, does the princess look scary? She’s so pretty and cool, are they blind? ]

[Uh, could it be that the princess's appearance is indeed scary? ]

[What are you talking about? Who is scaring me?! ]

[Their expressions clearly reflected their reaction to seeing someone they knew! ! ]

[The only thing that could make the emperor and his subjects behave like this... is...]

[I also have a guess——]

[I have a guess too! Oh my god, if this were to happen, would our history be rewritten!? ]

[No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! They don’t deserve it!!]

[Uh, what are you guys playing? ]

[Ahhhhh, no, the princess is the Grand Marshal's daughter! ]

[Hiss, is it possible...? ]

[Everyone, don’t worry, let’s go to the Star Network Princess Super Topic to discuss and watch the drama first! ]

Bai Su said directly: "It can't be that the princess is... the emperor's child?"

The barrage went crazy, filled with asterisks and garbled characters.

Xiao Zhixing thought that the audience was smart enough to have guessed some facts.

However, she didn't know whose child she was.

Yanyuntai.

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing until Zhao Yunqi sat down and his expression returned to calm.

He looked at Xiao Zhixing deeply, clenched the cup and raised it, "I will drink a cup with you all. Tomorrow we will hunt. I hope you will do your best to show your talents and let me see your style."

Everyone came back to their senses and responded in unison. The banquet seemed to gradually become lively.

However, only they themselves knew that they were all absent-minded.

Especially when seeing Xiao Zhixing raising his glass with Li Wenxiu, Huo Baijun and others from a distance, his smile was as bright as the sun.

As time goes by, that person on that day is still so bright and flamboyant.

Xiao Zhixing held the cup leisurely and smiled at everyone who looked at him, causing those glances to retract in fright.

She became more and more comfortable, and even deliberately raised her glass to Ping Hou, who was almost as stiff as a stone statue beside her:

"Lord Ping, this is my first time attending a banquet like this. I'm very bored. Can you ask your wife to give me some advice?"

Her tone was very normal, but the scene fell silent for a moment.

Obviously everyone is paying attention to her.

They subconsciously stopped their movements, turned sideways or glanced to the side, pretending not to care, but all pricked up their ears to listen.

Pinghou was shaky, his face was stiff and sweat was pouring down, he didn't dare to look her in the eye, his mouth was trembling and hesitating:

"My wife doesn't know much either. You...you can ask someone else..."

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help but chuckle, "Ping Hou, what's wrong with you? The weather isn't hot, are you sick? You must take care of yourself..."

How much virtue does this person lack? Is he almost scared to death?

Pinghou shuddered violently, his face turned pale, his eyes were filled with fear, and he felt his hairs standing on end.

Then, such a fat guy actually cried.

I just sat there, crying my heart out, threatening to faint at any moment.

Xiao Zhixing: …

She coughed, was she really that scared? Could it be that Xiao Yan was "killed" by him?

Everyone lost their mood after hearing Pinghou’s crying.

Zhao Yunqi took the lead and hurriedly left with the empress dowager and the imperial concubine.

Xiao Zhixing had had enough of the show and was too lazy to stay any longer, so she got up as soon as they left.

The others tacitly did not walk in front of her and just watched her walk.

"Zhixing, wait for me." Huo Baijun chased after him, "Shall we go horse racing outside the palace?"

Xiao Zhixing walked to the railing of Yanyun Terrace and turned around, "Then wait for Rushu and Wenxiu to go together."

"Dashan, let me call a few more people to make it more lively." Huo Baijun rushed over again to call his friends.

She was standing on the entrance steps.

With his hands behind his back, he looked down at the majestic scenery of the palace and gradually heard footsteps behind him.

The first to come out were the Zhang family and the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The two elders saw her from behind, paused for a moment, then slowly walked closer and stood beside her.

The old Taishi Li Xiao, with a white beard, stopped and asked with a kind smile, "Princess, it's been a year since I returned to the capital. Are you doing well?"

Xiao Zhixing turned around and bowed, "My Lord, I'm doing pretty well."

"Oh, that's good, that's good. I'll take my leave now."

"You walk slowly."

Li Xiao was also Xiao Yan’s former teacher.

From the Yin Dynasty to the Great Prosperity, it has remained standing and its means are remarkable.

The eldest master and mistress of the Zhang family also paused, looked at her, and quickly left with their people as if there were thorns under their feet.

Xiao Zhixing smiled and watched them leave the stage.

Zhang family?

Xiao Yan's uncle's family and Concubine Zhang's mother's family are now wealthy.

After that, as each family passed by, Xiao Zhixing did not look at them at all, as if their sight did not exist.

I remembered all of them in my mind.

Including who they are close to and who they are not on good terms with, so as to have a basic impression.

"Princess, let's go, let's go..." Huo Baijun came over with a few familiar faces, "Where are Miss Wenxiu and the others?"

"I asked Hongmei to ask. She's downstairs." They had to see their elders off before they could get away to play.

A group of young people walked down the stage.

When he reached the guards, Xiao Zhixing seemed to realize something and looked back.

Where she had just stood, there was a eunuch with gray hair and a purple robe, looking at this side from afar.

Huo Baijun turned around and exclaimed, "Is that... Chief Steward Luo Man?"

Xiao Zhixing retracted his gaze, "Who is he?"

Huo Baijun looked as if he was sharing a secret with her, "He is a martial arts master, and it is said that he is among the top three in the world."

"He used to be a close eunuch of the previous Yin Emperor, following behind to serve His Majesty. He has rarely appeared in public since ten years ago."

"You have a sharp eye. Are you sure?"

"Hey, I entered the palace when I was a kid and saw him fight against assassins. The memory is still fresh in my mind. Later, I pestered my grandfather to inquire about his details. He hasn't changed over the years." Huo Baijun was proud.

Xiao Zhixing smiled and didn't mention this person again.

What is there to mention? Xiao Yan once woke up from a dream and shouted this name in anger, disappointment and pain.

As you can imagine, nothing good happened between them.

After getting off Yanyuntai, they reunited with Lin Rushu, Li Wenxiu and two other girls. They each led their own horse and went to the open area outside the palace to ride horses.

She ran a lap and then stopped participating. She and Lin Rushu walked slowly, leading the horses and watching others play.

Lin Rushu whispered:

"My mother told me that this time it is indeed to select a wife for the eldest prince. If both parties are willing, His Majesty may issue an order to grant the marriage."

"Without a talent show?" Are you so anxious?

But it's true. The eldest prince is already fifteen years old, and the emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry to arrange a marriage for him.

This may be because Concubine Zhang was anxious.

"The Princess Yi of the Feng family doesn't want to, but the girl from the Zhang family is willing. However, the Imperial Concubine probably wants the eldest prince to marry a girl outside the Zhang family."

Lin Rushu told her everything he knew, "Zhixing, your father is not here, and there are no elders in the mansion. If you don't have that intention... it's best to avoid it."

"Aren't you worried about yourself?"

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help but hook the ends of her hair, yourself?

Ha, they are probably still in shock now, so it would be strange if they dared to let her be the crown prince's consort.

Lin Rushu said to her, "My father doesn't want me to enter the palace, and I don't want to either."

"That's fine. It's none of our business." Xiao Zhixing grabbed her shoulders and said, "Let's run two more laps."
