Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Chapter 94: Autumn Hunting in the Royal Paddock

When the Fourth Prince's Concubine Su Xianxin learned that her mother was confined in a farm to recuperate, she was very worried and wanted to visit her, but her father ordered her not to go. She could only ask Yunxiang to ask Tan Ling for help.

Tan Ling now lives in the prince's mansion, not far from the fourth prince's courtyard.

After knowing Su Xianxin's request, he sent people to inquire about the situation. The situation was indeed not optimistic. If the Fourth Prince did not have the support of the Prime Minister's Office, the child in Su Xianxin's belly would not get much help, which was absolutely unacceptable.

We must find a way to strengthen the relationship between the Fourth Prince and Prime Minister Su's Mansion.

So, he found the Fourth Prince and said, "Your Highness, the best plan for now is to continue to strengthen the relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why don't you see if there are any girls of the right age in the Duke of Qing's Mansion to be sent to the Prime Minister as concubines. This way, the marriage between the two sides can be more stable."

The Fourth Prince nodded solemnly and immediately wrote a letter to the Duke of Qing’s Mansion.

Lu Zhanyan, who had been sending people to secretly monitor the Mansion of Duke Qing and the Mansion of the Fourth Prince, soon got the news and passed the news to the Second Prince.

How could the Second Prince let the Fourth Prince succeed? He immediately asked his mother to find a woman of suitable age from his mother's family. As long as he could win over the Prime Minister's Mansion, his status in the court would be greatly improved.

While they were looking for women of marriageable age, the annual autumn hunt also arrived.

Hunting in the royal enclosure is intended to maintain the martial spirit of Daqian.

However, only officials of the fourth rank and above and noble families with titles are eligible to participate in the royal hunting. Officials below the fourth rank must obtain the emperor's favor if they want to participate.

When hunting, one could naturally bring female relatives along as well. This was a rare and enjoyable trip for the concubines in the harem and the female relatives of officials.

Every year after the autumn hunt, many couples get married.

It can be considered a blind date in disguise!

In the book, Zhao Ningxiu achieved good results in the autumn hunt and caught the emperor's eye, which is why the emperor married Princess Yaoguang to him.

Lu Zhanxing was also going to go, because she remembered that in the book, the Fourth Prince became favored because he saved the emperor's life.

She has surpassed the other two princes. This time, she cannot let the Fourth Prince succeed.

Lu Jin and Luo are old and no longer interested in autumn hunting, but they asked the two brothers Lu Zhanyan and Lu Zhanxing to take their third daughter and little niece with them.

There's no need to stay in the mansion all the time. It would be even better if I could be noticed by some handsome young man.

Lu Zhanxing had no choice but to bring his third sister and little cousin along. Fortunately, this fake cousin knew martial arts and could protect his third sister.

When going on royal hunting trips, in addition to royal family members, ministers and family members could only bring one attendant or maid each.

When entering the royal enclosure, you cannot bring any secret guards with you. After all, there are imperial guards and palace guards all around. It is very difficult to sneak in quietly, unless your martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle.

In the past, Lu Zhanxing always took Lu Tong with him, but this time he brought Bai Jing directly, and Lu Tong stayed behind to look after the house!

The person next to Lu Zhanyan is not the servant Huai Mo Huai Shu, but Mu Qingli in disguise. He should be discussing countermeasures with his eldest brother at that time, right?

I have to say that Big Brother and Mu Qingli are very brave. A wanted criminal actually dares to hang around in front of the emperor. Isn’t Big Brother afraid of being charged with treason?

Such courage is truly admirable!

Everyone first gathered at the gate of the palace, and the scene was grand.

The Royal Enclosure is located on the outskirts of the capital, with undulating mountains that act like a natural barrier.

The hunting ground for the autumn hunt extends to the middle of the mountain.

During the autumn hunting season, a large number of royal guards would drive the birds and beasts in the mountains into the enclosure. Guards would patrol the hunting grounds to ensure hunting safety.

At the hour of Chen, Emperor Qian's carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate. A thousand imperial guards cleared the way in front, and a thousand imperial guards protected him from behind. There were dozens of civil and military officials accompanying him, and hundreds of royal family members, with their families following behind.

The three princes accompanied him.

I don’t know if it was Lu Zhanxing’s illusion, but I always felt that the Fourth Prince had a terribly gloomy complexion. Compared with his eldest brother, he looked more like a villain. Could it be that he became like this because he became a eunuch?

Beside him was Tan Ling, who was riding a horse, and a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The young man had outstanding features and a graceful demeanor, and he exuded a spring-like aura that made people feel very friendly.

Who is he?

She approached her eldest brother and whispered, "Brother, who is the man on the left of the Fourth Prince?"

Following her words, Lu Zhanyan looked at the Fourth Prince, his eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "The eldest son of the Duke of Qing's Mansion, Yang Jingchen."

"It's him!"

Lu Zhanxing's expression was slightly cold, and he became a little alert.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhanyan felt the change in Xingdi's aura and couldn't help but frown.

"He is not simple, big brother, be careful of him!"

As expected, this person showed up. If Tan Ling was the insidious and cunning poisonous snake beside the Fourth Prince, then Yang Jingchen was the smart and cunning fox beside the Fourth Prince, and was very difficult to deal with.

I remember that the eldest brother in the book suffered a great loss because of him.

She couldn't help but wonder, was the snake that suddenly appeared beside Emperor Qian during the hunting released by them, so that the Fourth Prince would take the opportunity to rescue him and gain the emperor's favor?

There were so many people talking now, so Lu Zhanyan didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded solemnly.

Yang Jingchen seemed to sense that someone was coveting him, so he turned around and met the gazes of Lu Zhanxing and his brother.

His eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled and nodded at the two brothers politely, as if in the spring breeze.

But Lu Zhanxing's heart skipped a beat. Such a smiling tiger was so scary. It was obvious that he and his brother Yang Jingyi were sworn enemies, but he could still smile so happily at him. It was so scary.

She subconsciously grabbed the sleeve of her eldest brother who was riding a horse next to her: "Brother, he is so scary!"

Seeing that his brother seemed to be really afraid of Yang Jingchen, Lu Zhanyan comforted him, "Don't be afraid, big brother is here!"

Seeing his elder brother who was as bright and handsome as a banished immortal, Lu Zhanxing's uneasy heart settled down. His elder brother was a big villain, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

But he still couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, he will definitely plot against you in the hunting grounds, you and A-Li must be careful."

In order not to expose Mu Qingli's identity, everyone calls Mu Qingli A'li.

Lu Zhanyan nodded seriously: "You should also be careful and not leave Bai Jing too far."

The two brothers were exhorting and encouraging each other when suddenly a voice came: "Lu Zhanxing, wait for me. I haven't settled my account with you yet."

When Lu Zhanxing turned around, he saw Yongping Hou Mo Feiyu riding a white horse and speaking angrily. It was obvious that he hated Lu Zhanxing so much that he had to beat him back before he could feel at ease.

This made Lu Zhanxing speechless.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jingyi also rode over and said, "Haha, Lu Zhanxing, did you see the man on the left of the Fourth Prince? That's my brother Yang Jingchen. My brother is back. Don't think that you are the only one who has a brother, humph!"

Seeing his proud look, Lu Zhanxing snorted: "What are you so proud of? Your brother is not as good-looking as mine!"

"You..." Yang Jingyi was angry. He really couldn't compete with this guy. "Humph, what's the use of being good-looking? My eldest brother said that he will definitely help me teach you a lesson, humph!"

After that, he said to Mo Feiyu: "Young Marquis, let's just sit back and watch the show!"

Mo Feiyu looked up at the sky speechlessly. Your elder brother is going to deal with Lu Zhanxing, why did you tell her in advance?

Is this because he is afraid that she is not ready?
