Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Xuanyuan Yan obviously had no intention of helping her solve her doubts, and just passed it over with a few simple words. Her calf was accidentally injured in a fight with a tiger, and Black Wolf was only brought to the hunting ground on a whim.

"Then how did Your Highness know that Black Wolf was actually the Wolf King and could control the pack of wild wolves?"

In order to get Xuanyuan Yan to talk more, she had already contributed her purse of snacks. It was full of snacks that Zhou Xiaonan brought from Xiangxue Village.

Now the three women in the family have made the food business in the village prosperous. Although there are no fresh fruits in winter, there is no shortage of meat. With Zhao's continuous research, the taste of various meat jerky is much better than that of Shangguan Qingyue's initial production.

Xuanyuan Yan chewed the meat in his pocket slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed, enjoying it very much. Seeing the little girl open her big eyes and listen attentively, he felt a little amused.

"You think too much. I don't know. It was the black wolf who discovered the abnormality and ran up the mountain without caring about anything. But it's also thanks to it, otherwise it would be difficult for you to sit in front of me in one piece."

"That……"

She paused immediately after saying just one word. This was the last question. She actually wanted to ask why he suddenly changed his name to "Ayue".

Thinking back carefully, before, the other party mostly called me "little girl" and didn't even bother to mention my name. Why did they change to such an intimate name now?

But she didn't dare, and she didn't think about why she didn't dare.

To hide her embarrassment, she lifted the curtain and looked out. The carriage was traveling along a river. It was freezing cold and the river was frozen. She wondered if there were any fish under the ice. She started to drool as she thought about it.

She unconsciously licked her lips with her tongue and then swallowed her saliva. Perhaps because she was really greedy, her stomach also started to growl.

Without showing any embarrassment that a lady from a wealthy family should have, she turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Yan, grinning and said:

"Your Highness, it's almost noon now. Should we stop here and see if there are any fish in the river? If there are, how about I grill some for you?"

Xuanyuan Yan withdrew his hand that was about to open the secret compartment beside him. There were a lot of fruits and snacks inside. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked with a smile:

"Are you serious? How are we going to catch fish in this cold weather?"

"Hehe, of course I'm serious. However, I need to borrow the long sword of His Highness's guard. It would be best if you could go with me."

So, Xuanyuan Yan looked at Shangguan Qingyue with some regret as he rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves in an untidy manner, and even tied his black hair neatly on top of his head, just to make it easier to fish.

Bing Ling's keen hearing was fully utilized at this time. She used the sharp blade to cut several large holes in the ice surface, so that she could hear any fish swimming by and react quickly. She stabbed with her sword, and almost every time she stabbed, her sword hit the target.

Her series of actions instantly aroused Bai Er's desire to win. The four grown men were actually no match for two little girls. How would they save face if this got out?

So for a while, there was a constant sound of shouting, and big fat fish were thrown onto the shore from time to time.

Shangguan Qingyue saw that the number was almost the same, so he immediately called a halt:

"Okay, that's enough fish. Today's competition ends here! Sister Bingling defeated the four brothers on her own! The loser will be responsible for handling these fish, and I will grill them for everyone to eat."

Xuanyuan Yan never got out of the car from beginning to end, only occasionally lifting the car curtain to take a look at the excitement. Seeing Shangguan Qingyue had already started to prepare for the grilled fish, he finally got out of the car.

You Xuansi carried a chair to her side and said in a very good mood:

"I'll be in charge of the roasting later, and you'll give me the instructions."

One of them was responsible for sprinkling various seasonings on the fish, while the other was holding the dead branch for spearing the fish in an elegant and casual manner, moving the fish from time to time. For a moment, everyone was speechless, and some stood or sat staring at the two people.

Suddenly, the sound of the coachman stopping the carriage broke the peacefulness of the place. The four brothers frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. They thought: Who is so blind that he came here on purpose even though he knew there were people here!

Nan Rongshu was very satisfied with his decision, especially when he was lucky enough to meet the Third Prince and his entourage halfway.

She used the excuse of feeling unwell and travelled light with her daughter, rushing all the way to the capital, just to have a chance encounter with the third prince.

Now that this girl has finally come to her senses, her paintings are thousands of times better than that of Miss Shangguan. She must seize this rare opportunity!

As soon as the maid helped her get off the carriage, Nan Rongshu couldn't wait to hold his daughter's hand tightly and walked towards the direction of the third prince. Before he even got close, he raised his voice and said happily:

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet His Highness in such a remote place. Hua'er, come and greet your cousin!"

Wang Shuhua was violently pulled forward by her mother, staggering a few steps and almost falling. She was like a puppet without a soul, and after a wooden greeting, she retreated behind her mother.

She thought she could finally put down her burden and live a simple and easy life. However, she didn't expect that her mother's obsession was so deep in her bones that no matter how much she opposed, it was useless.

For a moment, she felt that the road ahead was dark and she had lost all hope.

Nan Rongshu was angry at his daughter's failure to live up to expectations, but he still had a smile on his face:

"Yan'er, your mother has to accompany His Majesty on a hunting trip, so I, your aunt, came here in her place. You have never had anyone to serve you closely in your house, and now you have only called the Second Miss Shangguan, but I'm afraid it's still not enough.

How about letting your cousin come back with you? She has always been filial and has been by my bedside, so she will definitely be able to take good care of you!"

After she finished speaking, she stared at Xuanyuan Yan nervously, without blinking.

"I appreciate your kindness, auntie, but it's not appropriate for a young girl like my cousin Shuhua to come to my house, so forget it."

Everyone present couldn't help but turn their eyes to Shangguan Qingyue. The meaning was clear: Could it be that the person in front of them was not a girl?

Nan Rongshu asked directly:

"Then why did you bring Miss Shangguan back home? If my aunt remembers correctly, she will be a 15-year-old in a little over a year. She is no longer a child!"

Xuanyuan Yan handed the roasted fish to the dazed Shangguan Qingyue and said calmly:

"Oh, she's different."

Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for the next words, but they saw him skewer another raw fish and continue to roast it on the fire, and then he stopped talking. Seeing that Shangguan Qingyue was still hesitant to move, he gently pushed him with his elbow and reminded him:

“It’s time to sprinkle the seasoning.”

"Huh? Oh! Right here!"

The little girl was dizzy. She took out a handful of the seasoning she had prepared from her purse and sprinkled it evenly on the fish. Then she stared at the person in front of her without blinking, with the doubts in her heart written all over her face.

Nan Rongshu didn't know how to react for a moment, and suddenly a slightly trembling voice came from behind her:

"Why is Miss Shangguan different? Please help me, cousin."

Shangguan Qingyue's heart was beating like thunder, and she suddenly had the urge to escape. However, Xuanyuan Yan did not give her a chance and said casually:

"Your Highness saved her life, and now her leg is seriously injured and she is likely to become a cripple. It is not too much to ask her to serve me at home for three months. Even if I ask her to serve me for the rest of my life, it is reasonable."

Wang Shu was disappointed when she didn't hear the answer she expected. She wanted to completely stop thinking about it and break her mother's obsession by asking this question.

But I never expected such an evasive answer.

Nan Rongshu was struck by lightning after hearing this. Two words kept echoing in her mind: cripple. It was just a rumor before. Although she was worried, she didn't believe it. But these words were said by the third prince himself. Who would lie about such a life-threatening matter? !

If it's true...

She looked at her daughter beside her, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"Hua'er, your cousin is right. Let's leave now." She squeezed her daughter's hand tightly, as if she had made up her mind, and left without hesitation.

Seeing the carriage go away, Shangguan Qingyue asked anxiously:

"Your Highness, what you just said wasn't true, was it? Even if Imperial Doctor Zhang is unsure about your leg injury, don't we still have Grandpa Nanrong? His medical skills are so superb, he will definitely be able to cure you!"

Xuanyuan Yan did not answer her, but asked:

"What if my leg injury is too severe this time and I really become a cripple?"

This question really stumped her. Could it be that she really had to be a maid for the rest of her life? ! !
