Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 65

The garden was designed by her, and you can see the difference everywhere, even Juyan Lake, which was originally a lifeless pool of stagnant water, miraculously lights up now because of the surrounding scenery.

Xu's mood changed, and Chu Li's smile floated in the afterglow of the setting sun, which was a little unreal. He sat next to the beauty in Ju Yanting, his purple pupils stared deeply at Qiao Ye: "Little Qiao..."

he called her.

Qiao Ye turned to look at him, she was lying on the railing watching the fish in Juyan Lake scrambling for food: "Huh?"

Bewildered.

Chu Li himself was also stunned, he didn't intend to talk to her, but just thinking about it, he suddenly called out, like a whisper.

Seeing Qiao Ye looking at him, he quickly recovered and waved to her: "Come here."

Qiao Ye walked over obediently, Chu Li hugged her into his arms, wrapped her big hands around her slender waist, and lowered his head to kiss her ear affectionately: "Xiao Qiao, starting tomorrow, I will be away for three days, go to Participate in the royal hunting. If you want to come here, please send a message to Mingjing to pick you up. Don't run around alone, you understand?"

Qiao Ye was about to nod, thought for a while, then tilted her head and said, "Brother Seven is not here, what am I doing here?"

Chu Li was slightly taken aback, a clear smile appeared on his cold handsome face, his arms tightened, he closed his eyes and kissed her side face, these words were so sweet.It was as if she was here because he was here.If you know that someone is always waiting for you in one place, no matter how far you go or how long it has been, she will always wait for you, that place is called home.

Sensing the shyness of the girl in front of him, Chu Li chuckled lightly: "What does Xiao Qiao like? Rabbits? Deer? Or, what else?"

Qiao Ye shook his head, turned to meet his eyes: "Seventh brother, I don't like those things, I only like flowers and plants."

Chu Li smiled indulgently, the light in his purple pupils was bright, and his thin lips slightly curved: "I remember that there are many wild flowers and weeds in that hunting ground, do you want it?"

"Yes." Qiao Ye nodded resolutely, and then frowned slightly: "It's just that Brother Seven, you are hunting. If you waste your time on flowers and plants, will someone gossip?"

The light of Chu Li's purple pupils shrank slightly: "Don't worry, all I want are wild flowers and weeds, no one will fight with me." At most, they aimed their arrows at the fat prey, not letting him easily Just get it.

Qiao Ye felt relieved, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. When everyone else was hunting, he was willing to pick wild flowers and weeds for her, just because she liked it.It was rare for her to be so active, she turned over and put her arms around Chu Li's neck, whispering in his ear: "Brother Seven, you are so kind."

In the past, there were people who spoiled her so much, they always called her little princess, little princess, and met all the conditions, and when she was happy, she always liked to throw herself into his arms and rub her small face against him because of her faint beard. Stubble and a bit piercing face.

Now, she has found this feeling again, how can she let go?

Chu Li was stunned, hugged abruptly by her soft little body, her warm breath was in his ears, with some green temptation, she was so active suddenly, he was really not used to it.Yet, undeniably, his arms warmed up, and he came back to wrap his strong arms around her.At this moment, my heart seemed to be floating in the clouds, with a kind of dizzy happiness.

The endless royal hunting ground.

Hunting in winter is a tradition of the Chu State. Chu Li has been leading troops on the battlefield before, and has not participated in such a grand event for many years.This time, besides the princes and ministers, there was also a special person—Gu Yanyan.

There is no precedent for women to participate in hunting in Chu State. However, Gu Yuyan is different. She is Gu Xiang’s granddaughter—Gu Xiang has been a veteran of three dynasties and has a high prestige in Chu State. His disciples are all over Chu State. The court and the public, and because of him, Ling Xiang is today,
Gu Xiang only had one son and one daughter. His daughter, Gu Ruoxi, was betrothed to Ling Zongwu, the number one scholar at that time. His son, Gu Chen, died for the country in a battle, leaving only one daughter, Gu Miyan.Gu Xiang was famous for loving his granddaughter, and he would never refuse anything Gu Yanyan wanted.

Therefore, everyone will give Gu Yanyan the best treatment for Gu Xiang's face, and Chu Huang is no exception.Of course, she herself is the number one female general of the Great Chu Kingdom, and hunting for generals is a matter of course, so no one has any objections, except Miss Ling, who is in Ling Xiangfu's residence, jumped her feet angrily when she heard the news.

Things like winter hunting are just routine for Chu Li.He walked through the broad-leaved forest and bamboo forest, and the guards of the Ming army behind him were waiting earnestly with a full load of prey. As long as Chu Li raised the arrow, no matter how far away, there would be prey hit by the arrow.

The smell of fresh blood filled his nose. Chu Li had no expression on his face, his handsome face was cold, his thin lips were slightly pursed, as if on a battlefield, and he would not spare any living enemies.Similarly, under his command, no prey will be spared.

"Hey——" Draw the bow into a full moon, let go, and the arrow flies towards the prey a hundred meters away.When the bow was lowered, he pulled up the rein and was about to leave, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found another arrow stuck in his prey.The position he was aiming at just now was his confidant, one shot killed the prey, and the prey would die without struggling.But the arrow that did not belong to him was accurately inserted into the eye of the prey, and the moment it died, it let out a painful cry.

Chu Li couldn't help frowning. He thought he was vicious and never blinked when killing people. However, he would not slowly torture them to death, even when treating animals.

A bloody horse came from the depths of the bamboo forest, and immediately sat a young girl in a white dress, looking straight at her with a pair of phoenix eyes. She raised the longbow in her hand and smiled at Chu Li: " His Royal Highness, hunting alone is really boring, are you interested in competing with Miyan?" The voice had some girlish crispness, but it was also full of air.

Chu Li was still expressionless, but sneered in his heart, what an arrogant girl.Whether it's eyes or skills, she doesn't look like a weak woman.Women who practice martial arts are too evil.For a moment he actually forgot that a certain little girl who lives in his heart is also a martial artist, but for a real master, her kung fu is too three-legged.

The sneer turned into a sneer, it’s fine if you’re not used to it, he didn’t care to know who she was, Chu Li pulled the rein, turned his head and went to the other side: “When I’m hunting, I don’t like being disturbed.”

"Your Highness, the prey...?" The guard who was in charge of counting the prey asked hesitantly.

There is a rule in hunting, as long as it is shot by one's own arrow, no one else is allowed to take it away.

Chu Li didn't stop riding the horse, and his thin lips parted slightly: "Pull out that extra arrow, and take the prey away."

"Yes." The guard agreed, trotted over, and pulled out the arrows from the eyes of the prey.Gu Yanyan used great strength, the arrow shot through one eye of the prey, and then passed through the top of the head, bloody and cruel.The guard took a lot of effort to take out the arrow. After thinking about it, he respectfully walked up to Gu Yuyan's bloody BMW and presented the arrow: "General Gu, your arrow."

Gu Yanyan looked at Chu Li's direction, but did not receive the arrow. The lieutenant Cai Yuan drove the horse over, took the arrow in his hand, and said, "Thank you."

The guards went away and followed Chu Li's steed.

Gu Yuyan's eyes looked into the distance, Chu Li was bending his bow, his back was straight and vigorous.

After watching for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yuyan's mouth. Sure enough, among all the men, only he can arouse her interest, and only he is worthy of her favor.

Three days of winter hunting, there are many opportunities to get close to him.Chu Li, you will never know how far I can go to get you.

The ancestors of the Chu State used to hunt for a living more than a thousand years ago. Therefore, it is also a tradition to have a picnic at night during winter hunting.

Emperor Chu liked to hunt, and he dressed up in person to go into battle, and enjoyed it every year.As night fell, the monarchs and ministers sat around the fire, eating freshly roasted meat, and the atmosphere was very jubilant.

Because the ages of the princes are very different, the only ones who can participate in the hunt are Prince Chu Xiao and Prince Li Chuli.Although there are many ministers, most of them are civil servants, who only serve as escorts and do not participate in hunting. Only young heirs may be able to hunt a few prey.Ling Xiang was also there, but it was a pity that Ling Xiang had no children, so he was unavoidably a bit inferior.

When counting the prey during the day, a eunuch presented the list to the Emperor Chu, and announced the top three hunters:
First, Emperor Chu.

Second, Chu Li.

Third, Gu Yuyan.

Chu Huang looked at the list and laughed, obviously very happy.

The ministers also praised the undiminished skill of the Emperor Chu, but everyone knew that since hunting was the Emperor Chu's favorite, no one would be stupid enough to beat him. The distance makes him stand aloof and invincible in the world.

Emperor Chu's brows were filled with joy, he smiled and said: "Li'er is not bad, Miss Gu is not bad either, she really deserves to be a battle-tested general! I am very pleased. Our Great Chu Kingdom has such a general with outstanding martial arts skills that we can It is far ahead among the countries, so that the barbarians from all over the world will surrender and come to the court willingly."

Now that Emperor Chu has praised Prince Li, the limelight will naturally turn to him. Everyone is thinking about how to agree, and Emperor Chu then said: "Xiao Er is also good. I have never liked martial arts, but the hunting results are quite fruitful. very satisfied."

"Thank you, father, for your compliment." Chu Xiao bowed his head in thanks, but there was no joy in his eyes.

"According to the rules of winter hunting, the top three can make any request to me as a reward. Li'er, Miss Gu, have you made up your mind?" Emperor Chu laughed.

Gu Yanyan lowered her head slightly, Danfeng's eyes were full of brilliance, and the corners of her lips raised involuntarily. Since Chu Li is unwilling to take action, it's better for her to take the initiative. It's the same whether it's hinting or expressing.
