The Fourth Prince sat next to Zhen Huan. He was young and handsome, and his eyes revealed intelligence and determination.

The Third Prince sat next to Concubine Hua. He seemed a little reserved, but also tried hard to show his demeanor.

On the other side of the Fourth Prince sat Prince Guo, who had an elegant temperament and a gentle smile.

On the other side of the Third Prince sat Shen Beile, with an upright posture and a firm gaze.

Next on both sides are important military ministers and some brave and skilled generals, who will participate in the subsequent hunting activities together.

Across from the Third Prince is the Fourth Prince. The two of them study together on weekdays and appear to have a good relationship, but the Third Prince always feels a little jealous of the Fourth Prince because the Fourth Prince is much smarter than him.

Every time the Third Prince saw the Fourth Prince being praised by the Emperor and the Grand Tutor, he always felt unwilling.

As the cheerful music sounded, a group of beautiful singers with graceful figures walked onto the stage. Their dancing was as graceful and moving as fluttering butterflies.

The singing is gentle and melodious, like the sound of nature, which makes people intoxicated.

After the singing and dancing ended, the elite soldiers began their wonderful drills on the wide training ground.

They were dressed in neat armor, holding sharp weapons, their movements were agile and powerful, and their shouts shook the earth, demonstrating the power and grandeur of the Qing army.

The emperor sat on the viewing stand, nodded with satisfaction, a hint of pride in his eyes.

The entire Mulan Paddock was immersed in joy and vitality. The bright sunshine sprinkled on the green grass, reflecting a vibrant scene.

However, the Third Prince was not very interested in the soldiers' drills, and his eyes casually swept around.

Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a figure.

That was Jiang Caiping standing next to the Fourth Prince. She was wearing a light blue dress and looked pure and lovely.

Although her headdress is simple, it still cannot hide her beauty. Her skin is as white as snow and her facial features are as delicate as a painting.

Especially those bright peach blossom eyes, which are incredibly beautiful.

The Third Prince's heart seemed to be struck by something and he was instantly attracted by Jiang Caiping's beauty.

The Fourth Prince keenly noticed the Third Prince's abnormality. He frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the Third Prince's gaze without making any expression.

I saw that the Third Prince was staring at Jiang Caiping. His eyes were like a greedy little snake, slowly sliding across Caiping's body, with a hint of possessiveness and dangerous light.

The Fourth Prince's heart tightened and a chill ran through his mind.

He finally understood why Prince Guo had so seriously warned him to be wary of the Third Prince and never let him see Cai Ping.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince's face became gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to suppress his inner anger.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince regretted bringing Jiang Caiping here very much, because this time he would not be able to return to the palace for at least ten days or half a month, and the Fourth Prince missed Jiang Caiping very much if he could not see her for a day.

It's too late to regret now. All I can do is try my best to keep Cai Ping with him all the time and not let her be alone. Otherwise, she might really fall into the clutches of the Third Prince.

There were no other activities scheduled for the day except watching the wonderful martial arts performances and exciting training of the elite soldiers.

The emperor then ordered that several specific areas be carefully divided out in the Mulan Paddock, which would serve as the venue for tomorrow's hunting competition. Everything was done to ensure that this grand event could proceed smoothly.

As night fell, a large bonfire was lit in the middle and everyone sat around it. The table was filled with delicious food and fine wine, as well as some delicious barbecue made from the prey brought back by several soldiers as a side dish for tonight.

"In this hunting competition, I hope that all of you can go all out and show your skills. If anyone comes out first, I will definitely reward him handsomely." The emperor raised his glass and looked at everyone, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

Then Prince Guo smiled and said confidently: "I will do my best. I hope you will not be stingy with your reward when the time comes."

"Seventeenth brother, what you said makes me look forward to it." The emperor took a sip of wine and looked around.

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, the emperor smiled and said, "In this case, I wish you all good luck in advance. I hope everyone can achieve something in tomorrow's competition."

Everyone bowed in greeting.

Then, the banquet continued in a warm atmosphere, and the topic turned from hunting games to other relaxing topics, and both the guests and hosts had a great time.

At this time, Concubine Hua had just picked up a piece of fragrant barbecue and was about to put it into her mouth, but suddenly her face changed, her hand shook, and the barbecue fell onto the plate.

She covered her mouth lightly, her eyes looking somewhat uneasy and uncomfortable.

Her face gradually turned pale, and a faint bluish-gray hue could almost be seen.

The Queen, who was sitting next to her, immediately noticed Concubine Hua's abnormality. She frowned slightly and immediately showed a concerned expression. She asked in a gentle voice: "Concubine Hua, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the barbecue?"

Hua Fei forced a smile and tried to remain calm, but her eyes revealed her discomfort and uneasiness.

She said softly, "My queen, I just feel a little uncomfortable, it's nothing serious, please don't worry."

The Queen was worried. She thought to herself: Hua Fei's recent physical condition seems a little abnormal. Could it be... could she be pregnant? But she quickly rejected this idea because she knew that Hua Fei's body had been eroded by the Emperor's Huan Yi Xiang before, and it was impossible for her to get pregnant. She continued to pretend to be concerned and comfort Hua Fei.

At this moment, the Emperor also noticed Hua Fei's abnormality and turned his gaze from his conversation with Zhen Huan to Hua Fei.

Seeing Concubine Hua's condition, the emperor's face changed and he shouted anxiously: "Doctor Zhang, come quickly and see what's wrong with Concubine Hua!"

Doctor Zhang came quickly. As soon as he heard the emperor's call, he rushed to Concubine Hua's side. He carefully observed Concubine Hua's complexion and condition, and asked in a low voice: "Madam Hua, what discomfort do you feel?"

Hua Fei suppressed her discomfort and said softly, "Doctor Zhang, I feel a little sick. Maybe I ate something inappropriate. Please take a look at me."

Doctor Zhang quickly placed a silk handkerchief on Concubine Hua's wrist and began to take her pulse.

The Emperor became very nervous when he saw Concubine Hua was in pain. He fixed his eyes on her, hoping that she was okay.

After a while, Doctor Zhang showed a look of joy on his face and turned to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's a pregnancy pulse. Concubine Hua is pregnant."

The emperor was immediately delighted and laughed heartily, "Hahahaha~~~This is such a happy event."
