Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Junjin, don’t worry. I can protect myself. There’ll be many people participating in the autumn hunt so it might be dangerous for you to follow me,” Yu Yunxi said patiently, “When there’s a chance in the future, I’ll personally bring you out to play, okay?”

The little bun was very sensible. He quickly nodded and replied, “Okay.”

Meng Xia made the preparations very quickly.

Yu Yunxi returned to her room and changed into her silver and white riding attire. Her hair was tied up high, and a soft whip was tied around her waist. Her face was without makeup, but her lips were a charming shade of red.

Meng Xia’s eyes lit up. This was the first time she had seen Yu Yunxi dressed in such a manner.

Qian Jiao, who was standing at the side, said, sounding a little proud, “The County… In the past when the Eldest Princess led the troops to war, she looked even more valiant.”

“Let’s go,” Yu Yunxi said.

However, almost as soon as they stepped out, they saw Yu Xiaoxiao sashaying over.

Today, Yu Xiaoxiao was dressed in a pink dress. The skirt was voluminous and thick. When she walked, it hindered her movement a little. Apart from that, she wore many hairpins on her head, making one wonder if their weight would break her neck. However, she still raised her chin proudly and pretended to be relaxed.

When Yu Xiaoxiao stood in front of Yu Yunxi, she bit her lip and asked nervously, “Sister, I forgot to tell you that the autumn hunt is today. Did the Fourth Prince inform you about it?”

Yu Xiaoxiao was very pleased with herself at this moment. She had long known that the Fourth Prince deliberately excluded Yu Yunxi from the autumn hunt. However, Chu Yuefu, the Crown Prince, had reminded her yesterday to inform Yu Yunxi about the autumn hunt. She was naturally unwilling, so after thinking about it, she decided to inform Yu Yunxi about it at the last minute. With this, she felt that Yu Yunxi would not have time to prepare to participate in the autumn hunt, and at the same time, the Crown Prince would not be able to blame her as well.

Yu Yunxi could naturally see through Yu Xiaoxiao’s thoughts. She said expressionlessly, “There’s no need for you to inform me. I’m already prepared to participate in the autumn hunt.”

Only at this moment did Yu Xiaoxiao notice Yu Yunxi’s attire. Her smile froze immediately. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘When did this b*tch receive the news?’

Yu Xiaoxiao was furious, but she still had to maintain a gentle expression on her face. She said, “In that case, let’s go together.”

At this moment, Yu Xiaoxixao saw Qian Qing, who was standing behind Yu Yunxi, and her eyes flashed. She probed, “Sister, why haven’t I seen this maidservant before?”

Recently, Yu Xiaoxiao had been thinking of ways to send spies to Ning

Courtyard. Hence, she was curious about the unfamiliar face in front of her.

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said, “I just hired her. Why? Do I still need to report it to you?”

Yu Xiaoxiao’s smile froze again.

‘IN-no, of course not.

When they arrived at the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, they saw the carriage prepared by the Emperor Emeritus.

A young man moved to stand in front of Yu Yunxi and said with a bow, “Greetings, Eldest Princess. I’m Can Ban. The Emperor Emeritus ordered me to escort you to Mount Qian.”

As soon as the young man approached her, Yu Yunxi could sense the fluctuations of his inner energy. Based on this alone, it was clear that his martial arts was very powerful.

Meng Xia leaned over and said in a low voice, “Eldest Princess, he’s been by the Emperor Emeritus’ side since he was young. He’s one of the Emperor Emeritus’ most trusted secret guards.”

“Mm.”

Yu Yunxi nodded expressionlessly. Since the other party was her grandfather’s subordinate, she did not want the other party to follow her. She did not like being monitored.

Yu Yunxi’s gaze was cold as she said, “There’s no need to trouble you.”

Then, Yu Yunxi turned to Meng Xia and said, “Meng Xia, bring one of the residence’s carriages out.”

Needless to say, it was impossible for the dignified King of Zhenbei’s Residence not to have a carriage.

At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao said shyly, “Sister, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. The Crown Prince’s carriage will arrive soon. He’ll take us to the hunting ground.”

‘Crown Prince?’

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow imperceptibly. It was also at this moment she saw a carriage coming over from the corners of her eyes.

The carriage bore the emblem of the Eastern Palace, and it was as luxurious as the one sent by the Emperor Emeritus. Many guards dressed in black armor surrounded the carriage.

Apart from the Crown Prince, there were not many people capable of putting on such a show.

When the carriage pulled to a stop in front of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, Chu Yuefu alighted from the carriage. He was also dressed in black armor today. His gaze was gentle when he looked at Yu Yunxi.

Can Ban, who was standing at the side, frowned when he saw this.

‘Why did the Crown Prince come to pick up the Eldest Princess? This must have something to do with the Qin family as well. I must report this to the Emperor Emeritus…’

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoxiao could barely hide her jealousy as she said, “Sister, look how well the Crown Prince treats you. He actually came to personally pick you up.”

Yu Xiaoxiao was extremely jealous. She had been engaged to Chu Yuefu for so many years, but he had never been willing to personally pick her up. However, when she recalled his words from before, she gradually calmed down.

‘It’s fine. The Crown Prince is only using Yu Yunxi… When he gets what he wants, I’ll be the only one by his side…’

Yu Xiaoxiao felt much more at ease when she thought about this. She even took the initiative to hold Yu Yunxi’s hand and said affectionately, “Sister, let’s get on the carriage first. The autumn hunt has always been lively. Let’s hurry up and make our way there.”

Yu Yunxi did not bother to put on a show with these people at all. She pulled her hand away from Yu Xiaoxiao and said, “There’s no need to trouble the Crown Prince. I’m used to being alone, and I feel much more at ease being alone.”

At this moment, Meng Xia returned with the carriage. However, her expression was very strange. She said solemnly, “Eldest Princess, there’s something wrong with all the horses in our stable…”

Yu Yunxi looked over sharply and saw that the horse’s head was drooping, and it looked very weak. In just an instant, she knew that this must be Yu Xiaoxiao’s work.

‘Ha, she really couldn’t stay still at all…’

Chu Yuefu seized the opportunity and said, “The horse must be sick. Sister

Yunxi, why don’t you come with me…”

Yu Yunxi’s gaze grew increasingly cold. She did not want to sit in her grandfather’s carriage and Chu Yuefu’s carriage at all. Just as she was weighing her options and preparing to make a decision…

The crisp sounds of bells and hooves rang in the air.

When everyone looked up, they saw a carriage wrapped in silk approaching.

The roof was inlaid with dazzling agates, and its eaves were made of gold. When the carriage drew closer, everyone saw the emblem of the King of Youshan’s Residence on it.

Chu Yuefu’s carriage was undoubtedly luxurious. However, compared with the extravagant carriage that just appeared, it was simply not worth mentioning..
