Chapter 134
It is rumored that the emperor encountered an a.s.sa.s.sination during the Spring hunt . Fortunately, his son-in-law accompanied his side and crushed the a.s.sa.s.sin’s surprise attack plan in a flash…
Rumor has it that the son-in-law had superb archery skills . Shooting with great precision, no targets were missed . The a.s.sa.s.sins were like celestial soldiers and numbered hundreds, all with extraordinary heroism…
It is rumored that the son-in-law deeply hid his abilities . He was gentle, elegant, and possesses unique knowledge but is humble . He was like a model of Sun Zi*…
* Famous general, strategist and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn Period (700-475 BC),
Rumors…Countless rumors, Xia Yuqing after becoming the Empress of the Ye Kingdom, had always been the focus and conversations of people after dinner . This time, the influence was no longer limited to the Ye Kingdom, but has spread to Xia Yuqing’s mother country, Xia Country . What a news worthy of being celebrated .
It’s just that Xia Yuqing, who is on the cusp of the storm, once again, was not as happy as imagined .
“Woo, my little rabbit…” Xia Yuqing lay on the table, weak . She stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her with red eyes .
Cui Er, Li Yuan and Liu Yixiang who came by after hearing the news looked at each other . They hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: “Qing Jiejie, isn’t that… just a little rabbit? If you like one, Royal Cousin could take you out for a stroll, I’m sure you can find a cuter one!”
Xia Yuqing raised her eyes to glance at Liu Yixiang, very lamented: “Xiang Er, you don’t understand . ”
“…”
“I just want that one . ”
Cui Er frowned and asked tentatively: “Why does Niang Niang insist on only wanting that little rabbit? Why not…the others?”
“Uuuuuu, it was so white and tender, it looked just like the steamed buns that comes fresh out of the oven . If it was taken back to Xiao Bai to be a couple, the little steamed buns born in the future will definitely be pure rice ball buns . We would have a nest of fluffy white-faced steamed buns, Little Xiao Bai’s, how cute! Uuu, Xiao Bai, your mother is useless . I couldn’t bring your wife back to be with you, oooooo…”
“…”
“…”
Qing Jiejie (Niang Niang), your habit of creating chaotic pairings has begun to evolve from humans to beasts? And…
“Qing Jiejie…that’s a rabbit…”
Xia Yuqing who was emotional: “I know . ”
“…Xiao Bai is a dog . ”
“I know this too!”
“Rabbit and dogs are different kinds of small animals . ”
Xia Yuqing raised her eyes and glanced at Li Yuan, her eyes full of disapproval: “Xiao Yuan, this kind of cross-racial love is very sacred, you don’t understand!”
“…” Li Yuan suddenly felt that her knee was. .h.i.t with an arrow, she was hurting internally .
Cui Er looked at the brave and righteous Li Yuan and sighed: “Niang Niang, Nu Bi saw clearly at that time, that little white rabbit is probably a male . ”
“Male?” Xia Yuqing was stunned . Cui Er’s and Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, thinking they had finally persuaded her . Unexpectedly, Xia Yuqing’s next sentence directly sent them to h*ll .
“Male? That’s even better! Ah, the little white rabbit Uke was so cute! Xiao Bai, mother is sorry, mother failed to bring your Uke back to you . Ooh, my little Xiao Bai grandchildren…”
“…” Now, Li Yuan was injured internally with Cui Er and Liu Yixiang . She forcibly resisted spitting out the blood in her throat, “Qing Jiejie, didn’t you just say that you want Xiao Bai to give birth to a litter of Xiao Bai’s? Xiao Bai is male, that little white rabbit is also a male, two males…”
“Xiao Yuan, what you said is wrong . Nowadays, race can be crossed over . It is not uncommon for boys to give birth . ”
“…” Qing Jiejie, you win .
The two girls fell to the ground with Liu Yixiang . Xia Yuqing continued to support her cheeks with one hand and sighed until…
“Junior sister, that day when your Senior Brother was shot at… ahem, the incident that made your Senior Brother stay in bed for half a month, do you have nothing to say?”
Xia Yuqing was complaining about herself, when she suddenly heard teeth grinding behind her . She felt a s.h.i.+ver run down her back . As soon as she turned her head, she saw Su Wuduan’s blue and white face . She smiled: “Senior Brother, why are you here? Sit down, please sit down . ”
“Don’t try to get out of it . Speak, what happened last time? How can you…how can you…even if you are interested in me, you have to exercise some restraint . You and I are both married people, you being like this… this… hurting Senior bBrother’s reputation is a small matter, but what if our family’s Cui Er and Junior Brother-in-law misunderstands!”
” …… ” Senior Brother, you are overthinking this . Junior Sister feels that the arrow that day was purely G.o.d’s will . It’s clear that G.o.d does not appreciate your narcissism, so that was just retribution that came down!
“Your family?” Cui Er stood behind Su Wuduan and pulled out her sword silently .
Su Wuduan s.h.i.+vered, and hurriedly laughed: “That…Wife, the sword has no eyes . It won’t be good for anyone to get hurt, put it away quickly . ”
Cui Er stared at him coldly for a while . With a cold snort, she retracted the sword back into its sheath .
When Xia Yuqing saw this, her eyes brightened . There was a trace of obvious scheming under her eyes . She turned to look at Su Wuduan: “Senior Brother, that…that thing was not my fault . You also know that I was pregnant at that time and it’s inconvenient for my body to move around . That day… Cui Er was helping me on the side, so… so…”
Su Wuduan paused for a moment, he seemed to understand something, and exulted: “It turns out that it was Wife . She… She was interested in me and couldn’t state it clearly, so… I understand, I understand . ”
“…” No, Senior Brother, you have misunderstood again . Xia Yuqing glanced cautiously at the green face behind Su Wuduan . She lit a few candles for Su Wuduan in her heart, then silently looked at the sky . I saw nothing, nothing!
“Oh, Junior Sister, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If it was my wife who shot the arrow, even if my b.u.t.t turns red and blooms flowers (gets a bunch of injuries), as long as she is happy, she can shoot as many as she wants . I…I won’t get upset . ”
“…” Senior Brother, what is with your shy look!? I have never seen anyone who likes to die more than you . Haven’t you seen Cui Er behind you already starting to draw a bow? Wait, a bow…
Su Wuduan who was immersed in the fantasy of embracing a beautiful woman looked affectionate . Suddenly he felt a familiar pain from behind . Stunned, he turned around in a daze to face the arrow on his body .
“…”
After the short silence, Xia Yuqing’s room suddenly burst out with a terrifying scream: “Oh, my b.u.t.t! Wife, you are murdering your husband!”
“…” Sorry, Senior Brother!
Cui Er did not hear Su Wuduan’s screams . She calmly drew an arrow and nocked it . She sneered at the injured part of someone: “Didn’t you say that as long as I’m happy, your b.u.t.t won’t get upset? Since you have said this, how can I be unkind and not fulfill your request?”
Speaking to this point, the arrow in her hand was released and Xia Yuqing watched the arrow . Swoosh…
“Ah! Wife, lightly, lightly . ” Cui Er was obviously irritated as she chased Su Wuduan who ran out the door . She picked up the quiver and followed . She began to draw the bow at various angles shooting at Su Wuduan .
Cui Er was Xia Yuqing’s most dangerous member who switched to a job she was not trained for (referring to becoming a maid now) . Her shooting skills were superb . It was not an exaggeration to say that she can truly take a hundred shots and hit the target each time . This is even more the case with a certain part of Su Wuduan’s body calling out to her . The result was naturally …
“Oh, my wife, can we change the location? This is something related to the happiness for the rest of your life!”
Cui Er sneered, unmoved: “Change the location? Are you trying to be shot into a sieve by me?”
“…” Even if you don’t change the location, I’m already almost a sieve!
“…” Senior Brother, take care . Xia Yuqing and Li Yuan watched as Su Wuduan jumped up and down on the roof, while Cui Er carried a curved bow and followed him with countless arrows . The screams continuously sounded out, it was very lively .
“Your mansion is really lively, there’s never a dull moment . ” The two who were getting excited from the scene, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind them . They couldn’t help but be taken aback .
“Third Royal Sister, why are you here?” Xia Yuqing was startled when she saw Xia Muyun . Then remembering the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them now, she smiled gently, “Third Royal Sister, you don’t have to be so diligent nowadays . With everyone’s attention now focused on the a.s.sa.s.sination of Royal Father, no one will watch us . ”
Xia Muyun rolled her eyes: “I’m not here for you today . ”
“Oh, you didn’t come for me? Since you didn’t come for me, are you looking for Eldest Royal Brother?”
Xia Muyun shook her finger and smiled with big s.h.i.+ny white teeth: “This princess is here to find her savior . ”
“Savior?” Xia Yuqing was startled and asked with suspicion . When did there appear a savior for the Third Royal Sister in this mansion? She didn’t even know about it!
Before Xia Muyun could answer, a group of people walked towards Xia Yuqing . Xia Muyun saw someone in the crowd and her eyes lit up . She threw Xia Yuqing aside and rushed towards the other person .
“Leng Gong…z…z…zi…”
“…” Everyone froze for a moment, then silently looked at the sky . Should they sigh that they were really one family? They both called people out in the same manner .
“…” Leng Ruofeng, who was the person involved, was directly stunned . He didn’t understand why someone would rush towards him when he was walking by .
Xia Yuqing was directly struck by thunder . Leng… Leng Gong Zi? ! Third Royal Sister is calling the iceberg Prime Minister, Leng Gong Zi? When did they meet? Why do they seem to be so familiar and close?
Wait! Just now, Third Royal Sister said that she was here to find her savior . Could it be that this savior is… shoot! The two of them are really tricky . She knew them being together at An w.a.n.g’s wedding banquet that day seemed strange . They had said it was a chance encounter, but it was actually a premeditated, secret meeting! Ahhhhhhhhh! Being the chief commander of the gossip department, how could she miss out on the explosive headline news? That is unacceptable!
Before Xia Muyun pounced on Leng Ruofeng, she felt a particularly resentful look behind her . She couldn’t help but feel a little strange . Turning her head, she saw Xia Yuqing’s resentful and disappointed look .
“You…”
“You don’t need to say anything, I understand . I… I wish you happiness . ” Xia Yuqing clutched her chest and made a beautiful tragic look .
“……” What happened? This was Xia Muyun who was stunned in place, not knowing how to react .
“…” Third Princess is switching love interests? After the Little Gong Zi learned that the Third Princess had transferred her love, he endured the heartache, respected the choice of the third princess, and is blessing the Third Princess and Leng Gong Zi? Ahhhh, the little Gong Zi is so pitiful! This is a group of onlookers who have called out their parental love and was sympathizing with Xia Yuqing from the bottom of their hearts .
“?” Did something happen? Slanting his head, this is Leng Ruofeng who did not know what was going on .
“Ahem, don’t play . Speaking of serious topics, Third Royal Sister, you came here just on time . Father asked us to bring the little Gong Zi… to enter the palace together for a banquet tomorrow night . He is taking this opportunity to reward the little Gong Zi for the timely rescue . ”
“What? Bring her to the banquet? Wouldn’t it…no…” Xia Muyun leaned close to Xia Mingyuan’s side and asked in a low voice, “Will it be revealed?”
“Probably not . Eldest royal brother had asked about it . Little Royal Sister lived in a remote yard since she was a child . There was no one besides a young Ya Tou and an old aunt . That young Ya Tou somehow died of a sudden illness before she got married, and the old aunt was also sent out of the palace shortly after . Before she got married, Royal Sister did not see other people, so there should be n.o.body who could recognize her in the palace . As long as we are careful at the banquet and stop causing troubles, nothing should go wrong . ”
Xia Muyun twisted her eyebrows . She was not so optimistic about Xia Mingyuan’s words . If Xia Yuqing and Feng Tingye’s ident.i.ties were found out by someone who is interested in this kind of news, not only will Xia Yuqing and her group be in danger, but none of them will be able to escape .
“Royal Sister, don’t worry . As long as you and Feng Tingye watch Little Royal Sister more at the banquet, don’t let her cause any trouble, it will be fine . Eldest Royal Brother and Feng Tingye have discussed it . After the banquet, using the pretext of their parent’s health, they will leave immediately . We will send them back to Xia country soon . Then a few days later, we will say that you changed interest and like another Gong Zi . By that time, who will think of them? Anyways, it’s not new news that you like the new and dislike the old anyway . Not many people will be surprised if that happens . ”
“Eldest Royal Brother!!” Xia Muyun gritted her teeth .
“En? Ah…” Xia Mingyuan responded reflexively . In the next second, someone’s fist greeted his abdomen and he called out in pain, “Royal Sister, you want to kill your brother!”
“Huh, you still know that you are my royal brother? Love the new and hate the old? How could you say that about your sister?”
Xia Mingyuan looked at her suspiciously, “Royal Sister, before you wouldn’t have done anything to your Royal Brother because of such a small matter . ”
” …… ” In the past, wasn’t it because there was no one she wanted to be serious with? Now that she has that someone, what if Eldest Royal Brother’s speech causes misunderstandings?
Xia Muyun coughed with a guilty conscience: “Don’t talk about this anymore . Eldest royal brother, are you sure that as long as Feng Tingye and I watch carefully, Little Royal Sister will not make trouble at the banquet?”
“Should be…” Xia Mingyuan looked in the direction Xia Muyun pointed .
“Cui Er, Cui Er shoot over there quickly . Senior Brother ran that way . ” Not far away, Xia Yuqing was enthusiastically pointing out the direction for Cui Er who was chasing down someone .
“Hey, Cui Er seems to be running out of arrows . ” Xia Yuqing exclaimed . She just wanted to call Li Yuan to pa.s.s over some arrows . When she turned around, she saw Feng Tingye carrying a quiver full of arrows and handing it to Xia Yuqing .
Xia Yuqing was stunned and laughed happily . Then she kissed Feng Tingye with excitement . As a result, the quiver of arrows in her hand was thrown towards Cui Er .
Before Su Wuduan could take a breath, he had to continue to evade the arrows causing his misery . He shouted with resentment: “That husband and wife couple are the most annoying!”
The two culprits did not have eyes for him at all . Right now, because of the tenderness of the pa.s.sing of the quiver just now, pink bubbles flew out randomly .
Upon seeing this, Xia Muyun couldn’t help but have the corners of her mouth twitch . She turned her head and asked: “Eldest Royal Brother, are you sure that person can control Little Royal Sister? Are you sure he is here to help and not to make trouble?”
“…” If you ask this prince, who should this prince ask?!
