Chapter 157 Hunting in the Forest
Xu Jiao went back to the Lingquan Palace in the dark, the eldest princess didn't go to join in the fun just now, but she already knew what happened at the banquet.As soon as Xu Jiao came back, she was invited to her room.

"You practiced hard in the past, and you will have the opportunity to show your talents tomorrow. Before setting off, check the horses and bows and arrows, and be more careful in everything. The rest is to relax, rest, and recharge your batteries!" Eldest Princess With a calm expression, he asked Xu Jiaoer a few words.

Xu Jiao nodded, the corners of the eldest princess's mouth twitched, trying to say something, but in the end she just sighed silently and said with a wave of her hand, "Go!"

Xu Jiao bowed his knees and stepped back.

The eldest princess watched her figure disappear into the deep night outside, sighed, and closed her eyes.

Two hands lightly pressed on her forehead, and massaged it slowly and steadily, it was Aunt Hong.

The eldest princess didn't open her eyes, but said softly, "Some things still cannot be avoided."

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured! Our princess is auspicious, and nothing will happen. Besides, His Highness has asked the princess to step up training during this time. The current skills of the princess are rare among women, Your Highness. I also sent a private letter to Governor Helian, and arranged everything that can be arranged, and the princess will surely get through this time safely."

After a long time, the eldest princess finally opened her eyes, with deep eyes, "I hope so!"

Xu Jiao went back to her room, and Neg Xue greeted her, handed Xu Jiao something and said, "Princess, this is what Su Le secretly gave to the maidservant just now, and asked to bring a word to the princess, yes The meaning of Governor Helian, let the princess relax, just be careful, everything is with him."

Xu Jiao held the wolf whistle tightly in his palm, looked at Hongying and Xue who were full of worry, lifted his lips and said with a smile, "Yes! Don't worry too much, it doesn't matter if you can't follow me in, there is still He Even the governor and the second elder brother? Besides, I am also a skilled person now, just hunting, what can happen? Just be careful, you can wait at ease tomorrow, I came back from hunting game, Let's roast together. Su Le's barbecue skills are top-notch, and you can't stop eating."

Xu Jiao gave a thumbs up, with a sweet smile and crooked eyebrows.

Hongying and Lingxue looked at each other, and then laughed, "What the princess said is true, and the maids are waiting for the princess to show off their skills, and return with a full reward!"

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Jiao got up early, dressed in a bright red riding uniform, with a heroic posture, clear and calm eyes, and checked Xiaoxiao, bow and arrow with a smile, and then rode to the imperial tent.

There are already a lot of people gathered there, and everyone is ready.Even Wang Wan was dressed in a riding uniform, leading a sorrel, seemingly docile filly.

Xu Jiao jumped off the horse, looked around in the crowd, and saw He Lianshu and Jing Qin, and Li Huan was also there.

Last night, Emperor Xian made it clear that he could not bring his entourage and guards today, and all of them had to go into the forest alone. Although Xu Jiao's face was calm, his heart was indeed a little calmer than last night, but until now seeing them, her Only then did my heart, which had always been a little anxious, completely settle down.

Wang Wan, on the other hand, looked uneasy, took Xu Jiao's hand, and said anxiously, "Ah Jiao, I'm not very good at riding. In fact, I knew that I was going to come to Qiuxi, so the Queen Mother invited a master to teach me how to ride." Day, at most I can trot, I'm afraid... I will drag you and Wu Niang down in a while."

Xu Jiao held her cool hand backhanded, "Why don't you say that it's a burden or not? We are always together. When we enter the forest, we still need to rely on each other. Don't worry, Wu Niang and I are here. Will take care of you. Right, Wu Niang?"

Wei Wuniang also responded readily, "It's only natural!"

Wang Wan's eyes were filled with emotion, and a faint smile appeared on her slightly pale face, "It's great to have you here!"

The surroundings were suddenly quiet, a few people felt a little bit, turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw Emperor Xian who was dressed in bright yellow slowly walking up the high platform.

There are obviously many people around, but it is quiet and quiet.More than ten thousand people... no wonder everyone wants to be emperor.

However, this seemingly respectful ten thousand people standing at the bottom have all kinds of thoughts.

Xu Jiao thought to herself, she was a little absent-minded when she heard Emperor Xian's high-sounding words, and she didn't wake up suddenly until she heard the thunderous promises from her side.

In the blink of an eye, those people had climbed onto the horses one after another.

Wang Wan tugged her sleeve lightly, she nodded, and they got on the horse.

Turning the horse's head like the others, the sound of the horse's hooves interspersed together, like thunder and roaring, wrapped in yellow clouds and thick dust, rolled towards the depths of the dense forest.

When they first entered the dense forest, they could still be with the big team, but soon, because they had to take care of Wang Wan, who was really not good at riding, the speed of the few of them slowed down and gradually fell behind.

Wang Wan looked at Wei Wuniang and Xu Jiao, her face was full of embarrassment, "I said it would drag you down."

"It doesn't matter! If it weren't for the sacred order, we wouldn't come here. Since we are here, I don't care if we can hunt or get rewards. We should take the opportunity to look at the forest. Scenery, stroll around, count the time and go back." Xu Jiao smiled indifferently.

"I don't care if I can get rewards or not, but I've come here, so I can't just return empty-handed, right? I've long wanted to go back with some wild game by myself, and let's roast it together. Later, Ajiao, you Just take care of A Wan, and leave the rest to me." Wei Wuniang said with bright eyes, while talking, she was already looking around, looking for the prey.

Xu Jiao frowned imperceptibly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he opened his mouth and fell silent again.

"This way!" Wei Wuniang led the way, Xu Jiao and Wang Wan followed behind, looking at each other helplessly.

The surrounding fields are quiet, and you can faintly hear the chirping of insects and birds, as well as the sound of their horseshoes.

The surrounding forests were getting denser, Wei Wuniang raised her bow after listening to a rustle, Xu Jiao and Wang Wan kept their voices in sync, and stopped their horses.

There was another rustling sound, Wei Wuniang looked into the grass like a torch, and a vivid shadow rushed into her eyes, Xu Jiao was surprised, it turned out to be a sika deer.

Wei Wuniang's eyes were full of joy, the arrow was already on the string, and the sharp tip of the arrow pointed directly at the sika deer in the grass not far away.But the sika deer was very vigilant, as if it sensed something was wrong in this unusual silence, every time it moved, it ran behind.

Wei Wuniang let go of her hand, and the arrow flew out of the string, but it brushed the ear of the sika deer and shot into the grass, but failed to shoot, but this time it startled the sika deer, and it just ran into the jungle deep.

"Where to run?" Missing a hit, Wei Wuniang gritted her teeth remorsefully, seeing the deer fleeing, she couldn't care about anything else at the moment, flattering her horse and chasing after it.

"Wu Niang!" Xu Jiao called out quickly, but it was too late, she turned her head and looked at Wang Wan, the two had no choice but to gallop after her.
