Chapter 125
After the opening arrow, the autumn hunting can be regarded as officially started.

The weather in autumn is cool and the wind is blowing in the air, which adds some freedom to the scene.

Just standing here, the state of mind can't help but become vast, and I want to gallop on this vast grassland.

Although Xie Chen has only been back for a few months in the eyes of everyone, but with her current mentality, she has been trapped in the capital for ten years.

It has been a long time since the last time I had the opportunity to ride a horse casually.

Looking at the scene he hadn't seen for a long time, Xie Chen felt a little sore in his heart, and his eyes were also red.

Seeing Gu Hengyu looking at him from the opposite side, afraid that he would be worried, Xie Chen blinked, as if sand blown by the wind accidentally fell into his eyes.

"Today, everyone must show their talents. I will reward the one who hunts the most."

The emperor stood in the middle and spoke.

The voice was not as dull as in the capital, it was a little more willful.

The people below didn't discuss for long, and got into the prepared carriage one after another, high-spirited.

After the queen knew that Xie Chen wanted to ride a horse, she ordered the people below to prepare the horses.

It's a snow-white horse with soft and beautiful hair, and its black eyes are moving. Looking at Xie Chen, his legs are slightly bent, as if he knows human nature.

"Where did my aunt find such a good horse for Chen'er?" Xie Chen said with a smile, his love for the horse reached his eyes.

After the queen heard it, she looked into the distance.

Xie Chen followed the Queen's gaze and landed on Gu Hengyu who was next to the Crown Prince in the distance.

Gu Hengyu seemed to have noticed something, and turned around to look over.

Seeing this, Xie Chen felt that it was the same as peeking at himself, so he quickly turned his head and looked to the side.

Because of the moment when he turned his head, Xie Chen also missed Gu Hengyu's side, and Yan Qing'an also looked over.

Xie Chen got on the horse skillfully. He hadn't sat on the horse for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable at first. After getting familiar with it, Xie Chen rode with ease.

Cheng Ying is the general's daughter, she was not raised in a boudoir like a rich and noble girl in the capital, she played the piano and embroidered flowers on weekdays, she was liked by the old general, and she didn't stick to her temperament.

Not to mention riding a horse, she would not be afraid even if she had to fight with the imperial guards in the palace.

But seeing Xie Chen's demeanor on horseback, she was stunned.

In the past few months, apart from the improvement of her relationship with Xie Chen, Xie Chen has also changed a lot.

Before, I always thought that Xie Chen was just like other noble girls, even a little more coy than them.

But now...whether it's his usual attitude towards people or his current demeanor on horseback, Cheng Ying wants to take a closer look.

Thanks to her, she seems to have become a brave and freedom-loving person.

"I can't see that you can ride a horse." Cheng Ying rode to Xie Chen's side and said.

The tone was still the same as usual, but Xie Chen could tell from Cheng Ying's expression that she admired him.

Xie Chen smiled, turned to Cheng Ying and said, "I learned it for a while before, and I quite like this feeling."

After saying this, Cheng Ying seemed to have found a lifelong confidant, and looked at Xie Chen with bright eyes.

She just talked about playing the qin and embroidering flowers, the romance is the most boring, and riding a horse and dancing swords is the most interesting. Unexpectedly, Xie Chen also felt that he liked her more in his heart.

Xie Chen retracted Cheng Ying's expression into his eyes, turned his head to look ahead, and the corners of his mouth unavoidably rose slightly.

"Look, there's a rabbit over there!" Cheng Ying pointed to the front and said to Xie Chen, with surprise in his tone.

There are many men in the hunting grounds, and in order to catch more prey, they will also form a short-term alliance.

There is a huge disparity in strength, so Cheng Ying seldom sees prey here.

Xie Chen also saw hares and foxes on the mountain when he was only following Daoist Yaoyue.

She took out the arrow behind her, ready to capture.

Cheng Ying didn't stop her either, she wanted to see how Xie Chen's arrow skills would surprise her.

With a whoosh, the arrow hit the hare's right leg.

Xie Chen didn't want the hare's life in the first place.

When she and Cheng Ying were about to get off the horse and go to check, they saw a shadow of a pure white dress flashing past, coming to the side of the rabbit lying on the ground.

When Xie Chen saw her face clearly, he froze.

Cheng Ying didn't notice anything wrong with Xie Chen, and only focused on this woman.

It is also strange that although she is not familiar with the noble ladies in the capital, she can recognize her face, but she must have never seen this woman before, and she has no impression at all.

But if it wasn't a noble lady in the capital, who else would come here?
I saw the girl in white squatting on the ground stroking the injured rabbit in her arms, her eyes full of pity.

When Xie Chen and Cheng Ying approached, they raised their heads as if there was mist in their eyes, and asked, "Can the two girls give me this rabbit?"

This woman is weak and beautiful, and anyone who takes a look at her will feel distressed, but Cheng Ying doesn't.

"Why? This is the rabbit we hunted first." Cheng Ying asked incomprehension after hearing this.

It's not that I'm bothered by this woman, but I'm very puzzled by her words, which is really unreasonable.

After Cheng Ying finished speaking, she looked at Xie Chen beside her, thinking that she would be the same as herself.

Hearing Cheng Ying's words, the woman's eye circles were slightly red as if she had been wronged, and her eyes turned to Xie Chen.

"A Rou?" Xie Chen stared at the woman's face and said slowly, with uncertainty in his tone.

The expression on the face of the woman squatting on the ground changed insignificantly, which was caught by Xie Chen.

"Miss recognize me?" The woman in white stood up holding the rabbit in her arms and asked.

Xie Chen nodded. The moment he saw her, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect to see his old friend in this life, but now he was really puzzled.

The woman in white in front of her was her only friend Concubine Rou, Chang Zhirou, who helped her a lot in the palace in her previous life.

Xie Chen tried hard to recall Chang Zhirou's joy before entering the palace, but found that he knew very little about it, only that she and Gao Kun came from the same place.

Seeing Xie Chen nodding, Chang Zhirou frowned slightly, and asked, "The girl recognizes me, but I don't know the girl, and I still hope that the girl is Haihan."

After hearing this, Xie Chen smiled slightly. From seeing her to now, her expression has returned to normal.

"It's okay, I just heard someone mention it, why are you here?" Xie Chen asked with a tone that seemed to be very familiar with her.

Chang Zhirou probably didn't expect Xie Chen to ask such a question, she lowered her head and bit her lip, and didn't answer for a long time.

It was Cheng Ying who saw that the two knew each other but the atmosphere was a little strange, so he broke the deadlock.

"Since you are acquainted with Xie Chen, then I will take this rabbit away for you." Cheng Ying said generously, for some reason, even though it was the first time she met the woman opposite, she still couldn't like it in her heart.

Chang Zhirou looked up at Xie Chen, Xie Chen reacted and nodded to her with a smile, indicating that she agreed.

Seeing Xie Chen's action, Chang Zhirou felt at ease, and the expression on her face was not as tense and stiff as before, she thanked them with a smile.
