I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

After less than a cup of tea, the hunt officially began.

As the hunting place of the royal family, this forest is very dense and occupies a large area. The other princes are followed by a group of guards, and Qin Zhao is only accompanied by the newly-acquainted Princess Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan has obviously never been here before, and Qin Zhao seldom went to climb mountains before, and the so-called "mountain climbing" in modern times and ancient hunting are completely different meanings. At the beginning, she had a whim and organized the whole company to go up and down the mountain together. Finally, the personnel department chose a local hill. Qin Zhao climbed down in one breath, feeling like he was climbing the stairs non-stop. The whole company's employees were also lacking in interest, and finally stopped halfway up the mountain.

At this moment, she was carrying a quiver on her back. The bow and arrow were not very heavy, but the quiver was quite heavy.

Her body was weak, and the two of them were in good spirits at first, and they walked forward slowly like traveling in mountains and rivers, but the two little girls, with heavy quiveres on their backs, became tired after walking for a long time.

Qin Zhao pulled out a small clean package from behind as if by magic, she opened the package and showed it to Qin Xuan.

Princess Qin Xuan shouted in surprise: "What is this?"

Qin Zhao smiled without saying a word.

She saw a bunch of fruits from the tent wrapped in the package, but she didn't dare to put it in because she was afraid that there would be oil on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Qin Zhao found a big tree under the root of the old tree, and Qin Zhao sat on the protruding root. She was wearing men's clothes, so it was convenient to sit down. Princess Qin Xuan was also wearing hunting clothes, so she didn't care about the etiquette of women. Qin Zhao patted the seat next to her, and Princess Qin Xuan sat down.

The two were eating fruit under the tree, and after chatting for a while, they heard a voice from a distance: "The third prince is mighty!"

Princess Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, have you found something good?"

Qin Zhao glanced at his mouth: "Probably so."

"Then we won't be blamed by the emperor if we sit here and don't move?" Princess Qin Xuan asked.

"There's no way around that. Our little arms and legs might end up in the tiger's belly." Qin Zhao thought for a while, then said, "But I want to catch a sheep."

Princess Qin Xuan asked her: "What are you doing catching sheep?"

Qin Zhao blinked: "Ham, I promised to give her roast leg of lamb."

Princess Qin Xuan thought for a while and asked her, "Then do you know where to catch sheep?"

Qin Zhao shook his head, sighed and said, "Oh, I don't know, I don't know where to catch sheep."

Princess Qin Xuan took a pear from the parcel on Qin Zhao's lap, ate a few mouthfuls, and the crisp and sweet juice burst into her mouth. She thought of something and said, "In the past, when hunting, the third prince and the eldest prince all competed. Not to be handed over."

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Is there any conflict between the third prince and the first prince?"

After she finished speaking, she felt that what she asked was too obvious.

Princess Qin Xuan didn't care, and explained: "Of course, the eldest prince Qin Sheng is the eldest son."

She said this with a smile, but the meaning expressed in it is self-evident.

The eldest prince Qin Sheng is the eldest son of Emperor Yuan Qi, but Emperor Yuan Qi favors the third prince Qin Shou.

Normally, under such circumstances, it is impossible for Qin Sheng, the eldest son of the emperor, to have no idea about the throne.

Sure enough, cheers of "the great prince is mighty" came from a distance.

The people on both sides seem to be trying their best to see which side's voice is louder, as if the momentum is low, they have already lost.

As Qin Zhao was thinking this way, an angry voice came from not far away: "The one who asked you to come in to hunt is still the one who asked you to come here to hide and relax!"

Qin Zhao and Princess Qin Xuan were stunned at the same time, and when they tilted their heads in the distance, they saw Emperor Yuan Qi and the little queen standing not far away.

The two followed only Zhao Dewang, and did not bring other followers.

Gu Junran looked at her, with a half-smile in his eyes, Qin Zhao coughed dryly.

Before she could react redundantly, Princess Qin Xuan pulled her arm and stood up.

Princess Qin Xuan saluted the empress, and seeing Qin Zhao standing still, she immediately reminded her to salute.

Qin Xuan tugged on Qin Zhao's wrist, and Qin Zhao finally realized it, and hurriedly saluted the empress.

Gu Junran's eyes fixed on Qin Xuan's wrist, and his eyes turned cold.

Qin Zhao subconsciously pulled his arms apart, and put a distance of one person away from Princess Qin Xuan.

She glanced at Gu Junran with a dry smile. Gu Junran's face was cold and indifferent, and he didn't look like he was smiling.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Junran's voice was a little interrogative, and his tone was very bad.

Just as Qin Zhao was about to answer, Gu Junran turned to Qin Xuan and asked, "Why is the princess here?"

Qin Xuan saluted immediately, and said with a smile, "Empress, it's Qin Zhao...it's His Highness the Sixth Prince. He is tired and said he wants to rest here."

Qin Zhao: "..."

She really didn't expect that Qin Xuan had no backbone at all, obviously both of them were tired, but now it was pushed on her alone.

Gu Junran looked over with a cold gaze, and her lips parted slightly: "Xu."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Come on, she is false.

Emperor Yuan Qi looked unhappy, he glared at Qin Zhao a few times, and asked her, "Your other imperial brothers are hunting, and you are the only one hiding here, what do you look like!"

Qin Zhao scratched his head and quibbled: "But I'm lost."

"Lost?" Emperor Yuan Qi squinted his eyes, he didn't expect Qin Zhao to say that.

The reason for this sophistry is really a bit refreshing.

Emperor Yuan Qi couldn't answer for a while, and the words he wanted to teach came to his lips, but he couldn't say them, so he could only swallow them.

At this time, Gu Junran asked her, "Where's your horse?"

Qin Zhao said, "The forest is so dense that the horse can't walk at all."

Gu Junran frowned, and asked her: "You insist on hiding here, why do you blame the horse for not getting in with you?"

Qin Zhao took it for granted: "That's not a problem of me hiding, it's a problem of my not knowing the way."

Gu Junran endured it, and then said with a smile: "If that's the case, how about I accompany you?"

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "What?"

Gu Junran nodded, and confirmed: "Well, I know the way, and I will be your companion."

Qin Zhao gritted his teeth and could only say, "That will work."

Emperor Yuan Qi looked at Qin Zhao, then at Gu Junran, and thought to himself, if the queen can treat the sixth child kindly, if the sixth child can really inherit the great rule in the future, he will be happy to see it succeed.

Emperor Yuan Qi thought of this, and said with a smile: "In this way, there will be Queen Lao."

Gu Junran looked at Qin Zhao with a half-smile, curled the corner of his lower lip, and said nothing.

Cheers came from afar again, Emperor Yuan Qi listened to the movement, and Zhao Dewang helped him walk towards the source of the sound.

As soon as Emperor Yuan Qi left, Qin Zhao sat down at the root of the tree again. Because of Gu Junran's presence, Princess Qin Xuan was not as presumptuous as her, and just stood aside respectfully.

Qin Zhao also stuffed a jujube in his mouth casually, and muttered, "When will they end? As long as they decide the winner, can we go out?"

"It won't end in a while, I can make a bet with you..." Gu Junran said halfway, then looked at Qin Zhao and smiled.

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "What are you betting on?"

Gu Junran said softly: "In a short while, there will be trouble over there."

Qin Zhao asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, there will be trouble? Who and whom?"

Gu Junran smiled without saying a word, but Princess Qin Xuan already understood.

Qin Xuan explained: "Brother Da Huang and Brother San Huang will come here every time."

"Ah...will they fight?" Qin Zhao asked, "Fight back?"

Qin Xuan nodded and said, "That's natural. After all, whoever can get the most prey will be rewarded by His Majesty. The Great Wei will conquer the world immediately. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this."

Qin Zhao shrugged indifferently: "All right."

She was about to lower her head and continue to take the dates when she realized that Gu Junran was condescending and staring at her with her head down.

Qin Zhao was terrified by her look, and asked her, "Why, what's the matter?"

Gu Junran looked at her displeased, and asked, "Didn't you say that you want to hunt sheep for Ben Gong?"

Qin Zhao nodded his head as a matter of course: "Yes, but how do I know where there are sheep around here?"

Gu Junran pointed casually, pointed to a place less than 20 meters away, and said, "Did you see it?"

Qin Zhao looked in the direction of her finger, and there was indeed a white sheep there.

Although it was a little far away, she couldn't see it very clearly, but Qin Zhao could see it as soon as it moved.

Qin Zhao held his breath, stood up slowly, picked up the bow, and nocked the arrow.

She glanced at Gu Junran, and said in a low voice, "Wait, I'll call you right away."

Gu Junran glanced at her lightly: "Oh."

This "oh" made Qin Zhao feel strong contempt, and she was despised by Gu Junran, which made her desire to win an unprecedentedly strong heart.

Thinking of this, she quickly pulled the bowstring, but she didn't have enough strength to fully draw it, but the sheep was moving. She squinted her eyes, aimed at the target, and then let go quickly.

The arrow flew straight out, but couldn't even shoot five meters.

The sheep seemed to have sensed something and ran away quickly.

Qin Zhao's mood suddenly became extremely bad. Fortunately, Gu Junran didn't say anything to mock her, otherwise she would be ashamed.

But Gu Junran didn't speak, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

She threw the bow to the ground without interest, and sat down on the root of the tree instead.

Gu Junran squatted down, looked at her at the same level, and asked her: "So you give up?"

Qin Zhao slammed his mouth: "Then why not? I haven't practiced this before, so I can't figure it out..."

Gu Junran thought for a while and asked her, "Are you sad?"

Qin Zhao thought for a while, and then said: "It's not sad, it's low self-esteem, maybe it's not right to make excuses, I know it's wrong to think like this, and it's wrong to make excuses, so it's very awkward."

After she finished speaking, she asked Gu Junran again: "Can you understand what I'm talking about?"

Gu Junran nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Gu Junran picked up the bow from the ground, she held it in her hand, and said to Qin Zhao, "Give me the arrow."

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "Huh?"

Gu Junran has already stretched out his hand.

Qin Zhao immediately took the arrow and handed it to her.

Gu Junran held the arrow in her hand, and directly pulled the bowstring to the full. When she let go, a sharp arrow flew into the distance.

The next moment, it hit the sheep's belly.

Qin Zhao stood up directly from the ground, and Gu Junran casually handed her the bow.

Qin Zhao took it over and said, "You are amazing!"

Gu Junran looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Are you still sad?"

Qin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, almost lost in her gentle smile that was enough to fool people.

Gu Junran said softly: "Go and bring the sheep over."

Qin Zhao suddenly became awkward. Is Gu Junran coaxing her?

In this unique way, to coax her?

The author has something to say: I will come back to provoke you, and the red envelope will compensate QAQ.
