Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 74 Prey
After Su Xi got up, the hunting team had already set off.

There were a large number of people participating in the hunt this time, a total of 50 people, including Su Xi's eldest brother, second brother and sixth brother.

Listening to the sound of the horn outside, Su Xi lay on the bed and refused to get up.The few times Wei Yan hit her last night was still hurting, she blamed him to death in her heart, and it was so embarrassing, she was too embarrassed to look at it herself, let alone ask Ting Yan to help her look.I don't know how it hurt.

Ting Yan came in from outside carrying breakfast, and saw Su Xi still lying in bed. "Girl, the sun is drying your ass."

Right now, Su Xi couldn't hear these two words, covered her head in frustration, and said in a low voice, "Bring me a mirror."

Ting Yan was puzzled, "Does the girl want to make up on the bed?"

"Don't ask, just bring it." She was ashamed to speak.Fortunately, I took the ointment with me during this trip, and put it in my luggage.

After Ting Yan brought the mirror, she let Ting Yan go out, got out of the bed barefoot, took the ointment, returned to the bed, and put down the curtains on both sides.

Su Xi lay prone in the curtain, took off the apricot white silk pants, picked up the Baoxianghua small mirror and put it behind her, and turned her head to take a look.The palm print from yesterday has faded away, and there are two light bruises left on the white and tender flesh.

Su Xi's skin is tender and tender, and she usually turns red when she touches it lightly, let alone being beaten up like this.Bruises are unavoidable.She put down the mirror, scolded Wei Yan again in her heart, pouted, poured some ointment into the palm of her hand, and silently and aggrievedly applied the medicine to herself.

After applying the medicine, she put on the silk trousers again, and then called Ting Yan back in.

After washing up, Su Xi had her breakfast and walked out of the tent.

At this time, all the men went into the paddock to hunt, and most of the women were left behind.Su Xi went to talk to Yu Baotong, and not long after, she heard someone calling outside, "Is Miss Su Jiu inside?"

Su Xi opened the curtain and walked out, asking, "Who is it?"

As soon as the words fell, a little girl wearing a begonia red half-arm skirt rushed over, held Su Xi with open arms and said, "Aunt Xi!"

Su Xi lowered her eyes and saw that it was Wei Deyin.She bent down and rubbed Wei Deyin's head, and said with a smile, "Why did Deyin come here?"

Wei Deyin raised his smiling face, "Brother and Brother Wei Fen both went hunting, and no one is with Deyin. Deyin wants to play with Aunt Xi."

Everyone likes such a warm and lovely little girl.Su Xi smiled kindly, "Then I'll take you back to play in the tent, okay?"

It was windy outside, and Wei Deyin's health was not good, and he was prone to get sick if he stood outside for a long time.With such a careful move, the old mother behind Wei Deyin couldn't help but look at Su Xi more.

The old mama's surname is Jiang, she is Wei Deyin's nanny, and because she took care of the eldest prince Wei Jichang back then, she is very popular with the empress.The servants in the palace bowed their heads when they saw her.She is an old man in the palace, her eyes are very sharp, she can see clearly who is sincere to the little princess and who is hypocritical.

At present, the ninth girl of the Su family is thinking of the little princess wholeheartedly.

Wei Deyin nodded and said yes.Su Xi took her hand and walked towards her tent.

Before taking two steps, I saw Fu Yi and Li Anyi walking towards each other.

Fu Yi walked slowly, and when she saw Wei Deyin beside Su Xi, she was slightly taken aback, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Princess Heyi and Sister Xi are often together along the way, and the princess seems to like Sister Xi very much."

Before Su Xi could answer, Wei Deyin said with dignity: "Of course Deyin likes Aunt Xi, and Aunt Xi will play with Deyin."

She is the only daughter of the emperor and empress, if she can catch her eyes, she will also fall into the eyes of the emperor and empress in the future.Fu Yi didn't care about what she said, but she still cared a little bit in her heart. Hearing this, she smiled, "What does the little princess want to play? An Yi and I are going for a walk by the nearby stream, do you want to go together? It’s interesting to have water and fish on the side.”

Wei Deyin blinked, held Su Xi's hand, and finally shook his head and said, "I've agreed with Aunt Xi, I won't go."

Fu Yi glanced at Su Xi with a smile, and said, "You can play with Aunt Xi anytime, but we finally come to the paddock once. Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't look around?"

After all, Wei Deyin is a child with a lot of playfulness. Hearing what Fu Yi said, he was really tempted.After a few times of coyness, when she was struggling, Jiang Nanny from behind said sternly and selflessly: "Miss Fu, Miss Li, Your Highness is weak, and the stream is very windy, and it's not safe. I'm afraid it's not suitable for Your Highness to play. Two The girl should go by herself, His Highness will be accompanied by Miss Su Jiu."

Fu Yi and Li Anyi were rejected so mercilessly, and for a while their faces were not very good-looking.However, this Nanny Jiang is a very embarrassing one in the palace, even they are not easy to offend.

Fu Yi's face quickly returned to normal, she smiled and said: "I was negligent, I only wanted to play with the little princess, but I forgot that the princess is not healthy."

Mother Jiang really didn't give her any face.Hearing this sentence, he didn't answer, but only bowed to Su Xi, and said politely: "Miss Su Jiu, please go on."

Su Xi was a little flattered, nodded to Mother Jiang, and led Wei Deyin into her tent.

Behind Fu Yi's face was very exciting.

Su Xi didn't bring much when she went out, only a few books and a piano, nothing suitable for children to play with.She was afraid that Wei Deyin would find it boring, so she sat behind Lu Qiqin and played a simple piece of music for her.

Unexpectedly, Wei Deyin fell in love with him right away, sat beside Su Xi with great interest, and said, "Aunt Xi, you play really well, can you teach me how to play?"

Seeing that she liked it, Su Xi was naturally happy, and said yes with her eyes bent.

Su Xi taught Wei Deyin to play the finger-opening ditty "Xian Weng Cao" all morning, and Wei Deyin was willing to leave here after lunch at noon.In the afternoon, when Su Xi was free, she took a nap for a while, and gave herself another medicine after waking up.

Finally in the evening, the hunting team came back from the forest one after another.

The prey hunted by each person must be recorded by Eunuch Chang next to Emperor Zhao Yuan, and then on the evening of the third day, they will be ranked first and second according to the total number of prey each person has hunted.

Today is only the first day. After counting everyone's prey, Eunuch Chang carefully looked at the names of the two people, and said to Emperor Zhao Yuan with a smile: "Your Majesty, take a look. The son of Prince Jin and the second master of the Su family hunted today." They both have the same amount of prey, four deer and two wolves. Who do you think will be the first of these two this year?"
