[It turns out that the Seventh Princess of Fan State came to Li State with the intention of becoming the consort of the Prince of Li State. The Seventh Princess is really beautiful and has good taste. She has set her eyes on the Fifth Prince so quickly.]
[You know, the Fifth Prince is the one who remembers favors the most. Even though Your Highness only helped the Fifth Prince unintentionally, the Fifth Prince has always remembered it in his heart. He always wants to get close to Your Highness and become the most loyal helper by Your Highness' side. It's a pity...]
[The fifth prince died a little early.]
After reading the plot in the system, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, even the look she gave the Fifth Prince revealed a hint of regret.
However, he did not notice that the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him became darker, his face was tense, and even the aura around him became colder.
Why did the fifth prince die early?
Xie Yue:?
At this time, the fifth prince Xie Yue had already come running over on horseback, and the seventh princess of Fan State was holding the reins, following slowly behind him.
Just as Xie Yue approached, he suddenly heard a soft sigh, and then he heard a lot of nonsense in his ears: [From this point of view, the fifth prince and the seventh princess of Fan Kingdom seem to be a good match? ]
[If the Seventh Princess of Fan State really wants to marry, the Fifth Prince is indeed a very good candidate. I just don’t know if the Fifth Prince will agree...]
Xie Yue: ???
Xie Yue was completely stunned, and his ears couldn't help but turn red.
Who on earth was speaking? How could he say these words in front of the Seventh Princess of Fan State?
He subconsciously glanced at the Crown Prince, and when he met his deep and unfathomable eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked away, staring suspiciously at the woman leaning in the Crown Prince's arms.
It looks a little unfamiliar, but also vaguely familiar.
Noticing his gaze, Lu Xiaoxiao blinked curiously.
[Why is the Fifth Prince staring at me like that? ]
Xie Yue's eyes suddenly widened: "..."
It turns out to be her! !
But why would it be... ?
Xie Yue temporarily suppressed his doubts, took a deep breath, turned his eyes to look at his brother the Crown Prince, and asked cautiously: "Crown Prince, who is this?"
When Lu Xiaoxiao was mentioned, Xie Xi's eyes softened instantly. He pursed his lips and slowly relaxed his tightly furrowed brows. "She is my good wife. From now on, you can just call her sister-in-law in private..."
"Little sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, Xie Yue was a little surprised.
So it seems that the Crown Prince is very fond of this beautiful lady?
Xie Yue relaxed his expression and thought to himself that since his brother the Crown Prince was willing to take this beautiful lady to heart, then as his brother, he would also be willing to give her some face.
Xie Yue smiled immediately, and he bowed to Lu Xiaoxiao while sitting on his horse: "Your humble servant Xie Yue greets my sister-in-law."
"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would actually call her like that.
After all, only the Crown Princess who was married to His Highness in a formal ceremony can be worthy of being called the Fifth Prince's sister-in-law.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Xie Xi seemed to be able to guess her thoughts. He raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair, saying in a gentle tone, "It's only natural for him to call you sister-in-law. Don't mind it."
Now she was the only wife he recognized. However, he was not in the mansion when she was sent to the prince's mansion that day. If he was there, he might not have let her enter the mansion in such a wronged way to become his concubine...
"it is good."
Since His Highness has said so, she can accept it calmly.
Lu Xiaoxiao generously gave the Fifth Prince a smile, her curious eyes moving back and forth between him and the Seventh Princess of Fan State, "Why didn't the Fifth Prince go hunting?"
"I……"
Xie Yue paused and said uncomfortably, "Originally I wanted to go into the forest to hunt, but then I saw the Seventh Princess of Fan State alone outside, saying that she was not good at riding and shooting, so I thought of staying outside to teach her."
Looking at the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom approaching them, Lu Xiaoxiao asked again, "Has the Seventh Princess of Fan Kingdom learned it?"
Xie Yue hesitated, "Maybe he has already learned it."
"Fifth Prince, what are you talking about?"
The seventh princess of Fan State came over.
She looked up at the woman riding a horse with Prince Xi, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She was quite far away just now and could not see the woman's face clearly. Now that she was closer, she realized that Prince Xi liked a woman with such a beautiful appearance.
Princess Fanguo's Seventh Princess withdrew her gaze and smiled, "Prince Xi, so you brought your family with you?"
Xie Xi nodded: "She was bored staying in the mansion, so I asked her to come to the hunting ground to accompany me."
As he spoke, Xie Xi suddenly lowered his head and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao's profile with gentle eyes. He smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, I have prepared a very docile pony for you. Do you want to try riding a horse?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, she turned around suddenly and asked happily: "Little pony? Where is it?"
[His Highness actually prepared a pony for me! ! Could it be that His Highness could have guessed that I would come to the hunting ground to find him? ]
[So does that mean that Your Highness and I are in sync with each other? ]
Listening to Lu Xiaoxiao's mumbling, Xie Xi couldn't help laughing. He pursed his lips and said, "It's in the stable. I'll go with you to take a look."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said "OK" in an excited voice.
Xie Xi pinched her cheek gently.
Xie Yue, who also heard Lu Xiaoxin's voice: "..."
This was the first time he saw his brother, the Crown Prince, being so clingy.
Seeing the Crown Prince taking his sister-in-law to the stable, as if he had completely forgotten that he and the Seventh Princess of Fan were still there, Xie Yue was stunned and immediately hesitated whether he should follow them.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State, who was standing by, noticed his hesitation and asked in surprise, "Fifth Prince, you don't want to follow them, do you?"
Xie Yue remained silent for a moment.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State sighed softly: "You idiot, why don't you understand?"
Xie Yue: ???
"What do not you get?"
The Seventh Princess of Fan State: "Just now, your Crown Prince brother clearly felt that you were an eyesore, so he wanted to go to the stable to look after the horses."
"Why don't you stay away from them? Instead, you want to join in the fun!"
What a fool!
She's not that tactless.
Xie Yue couldn't believe it: "Is this really what the Crown Prince meant?"
The Seventh Princess of Fan State smiled at him and said, "What do you think?"
Xie Yue touched his nose and said in a disappointed tone: "I don't know."
The Seventh Princess of Fan State was speechless: "..."
"Fifth Prince, you just taught me archery, but I haven't learned it yet. Do you still want to teach me? As the fifth prince of the Li Kingdom, you should not go back on your word, right?"
"Of course not!"
Xie Yue subconsciously retorted: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
"That's fine. Let's go. I've run out of arrows. I need to get some more."
The Seventh Princess of Fan State pulled the reins to make the horse turn around. She raised her hand and lightly waved the whip, letting the horse run forward first.
"Fifth Prince, hurry up and catch up!"
"it is good!"
Xie Yue hurriedly followed.
-
stable.
Lu Xiaoxiao was helped off the horse by Xie Xi. As soon as she stood firm, she saw the imperial guards standing by open the door of the stable and lead out a beautiful pony with snow-white fur. There was even a small yellow flower hanging on the right ear of the pony.
At first sight, Lu Xiaoxiao fell in love with it. She couldn't wait to run to the foal and couldn't help but touch its head. It was indeed very docile and didn't throw a tantrum. Instead, it rubbed its head against her palm.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked back at Xie Xi, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Your Highness, are you really going to give me the pony?"
"Well, I'll give it to you."
Xie Xi walked over, and seeing how happy she was, his heart softened. Fortunately, he had kept the foal.
Xie Xi raised his hand, patted the pony's head, and said with a smile: "When I asked them to choose a horse, I saw this pony for the first time and I thought it was very suitable for you. I'm sure you will like it."
"It seems that I was right at this point."
Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I like it very much and I am very happy."
Xie Xi hummed softly: "Do you want to try it on the horse?"
"want!"
Lu Xiaoxiao responded quickly, and suddenly she looked embarrassed again: "But Your Highness, I have never learned to ride a horse."
"It was only because Your Highness was here that I dared to mount the horse."
Xie Xi: "It's okay. I'm here and I'll teach you."
Hearing this, the embarrassment on Lu Xiaoxiao's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
If there were no imperial guards watching her, she would have thrown herself into His Highness' arms and acted like a spoiled child.
Glancing at the imperial guards, Lu Xiaoxiao said modestly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xie Xi: “…”
Xie Xi was used to Lu Xiaoxiao's unbridled behavior, but seeing her so reserved and polite, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times and stretched out his hand to her: "Come, Xiaoxiao, I will help you get on the horse."
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, then obediently placed her hand in his palm.
Xie Xi held her hand tightly and taught her how to get on the horse: "Xiaoxiao, support the saddle with your hands, then step on the stirrup here and sit on it."
Seeing that she was sitting safely on the horse's back, Xie Xi released her hand and continued, "Hold the reins with both hands and don't let go. Hold the horse's belly tightly. Remember, don't rush. Just let the foal run forward slowly..."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently: "I remember everything your highness said."
"I'll lead you, let's try."
All that needed to be said had been said, but Xie Xi was still somewhat worried.
Lu Xiaoxiao knew that His Highness was worried about her, so she didn't say anything else.
She sat on the horse's back, squeezed the horse's belly tightly, and kept her body straight to keep her balance, so as not to fall off the horse's back.
Xie Xi led the pony and walked slowly in front.
The imperial guards guarding the stables were stunned upon seeing this and looked at each other in bewilderment.
I never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually condescend to let a woman lead the horse! !
I don’t know the identity of that woman, but she could be so favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
-
Xie Xi didn't care about the looks of the imperial guards.
Apart from the dense forest, the hunting ground is also large and spacious.
Xie Xi was walking back and forth on the field, holding the foal and taking Lu Xiaoxiao. Qingxue followed behind them obediently, occasionally lowering her head to nibble on the grass.
Looking at the back of His Highness walking in front, Lu Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably lonely, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, I want to come down."
Hearing this, Xie Xi stopped immediately.
He turned sideways, looking puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, then she suddenly bowed slightly and opened her arms towards Xie Xi.
She stared at him straight in the eyes and said expectantly, "Your Highness, can you carry me down?"
Xie Xi suddenly laughed.
He looked at her tenderly, strode over, stood beside the pony, and said with a smile, "Yes."
Xie Xi opened his hands, and his bony fingers fell on her slender waist and picked her up.
Lu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to lean on his arms, lowered her head and kissed him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can put me down now."
The warmth on his face made Xie Xi stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he let her go helplessly, "If someone accidentally sees you, you will have to hide again."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. No one can see it."
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows proudly.
Xie Xi: "...You are just naughty."
Lu Xiaoxiao pretended that she didn't hear what His Highness said, because he was not talking about her anyway.
"By the way, Your Highness, if you don't go hunting and stay here with me, will the Fourth Prince and the others be unhappy?"
Lu Xiaoxiao knew who came to the hunting ground today. If possible, she did not want to meet the Fourth Prince. After all, the Fourth Prince was too hypocritical, and nothing he said was true.
He acts one way on the surface, but no one knows how he schemes against people behind the scenes.
Xie Xi shook his head and said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter, Fourth Prince is not such a petty person, he will definitely not care about such a small matter."
"I also hunted some prey earlier. I will bring them back to the mansion and let the kitchen handle them."
Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless after hearing the previous sentence.
[The Fourth Prince is the most stingy and calculative. No one who is targeted by him can escape! ! ]
Lu Xiaoxiao secretly complained in her heart, "Only His Highness would believe the Fourth Prince's lies!"
Xie Xi: ...He no longer believed it!!
Coming back to his senses, thinking about the assassins who were still lying in ambush, he wondered if His Highness had sent anyone to deal with them. Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "When will His Highness return?"
Xie Xi: "Since there are assassins guarding outside, let's wait until the end of the hour before going back."
There's no harm in staying in the hunting ground for a little longer.
There was enough prey in the dense forest for them to eat.
Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds in the sky. Maybe it would rain in a few hours, but she didn't know when.
"Alright."
Lu Xiaoxiao agreed with Xie Xi's idea. She tugged at his sleeve and pointed at the dark clouds in the sky: "Your Highness, look, it will rain soon. Those assassins will definitely not stay for too long."
Xie Xi took a look and then looked away. With a smile in his eyes, he said gently, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. I have my own plans for those assassins. They won't show up when we return home."
???
Lu Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Your Highness means..."
Xie Xi explained calmly: "I have already sent secret guards to gather people to encircle and suppress those assassins."
