At the hour of Hai, the moon hangs in the southwest.

The sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer, and everyone's attention was focused again.

Han Zimo's white warhorse appeared, drops of blood flowing along the texture of its snow-white fur. He held the reins, holding a bow and arrow in his right hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

"Mr. Han is so young, yet he has hunted so many prey. He is truly a young hero. His archery skills are inherited from General Han. The Han family will surely have a successor!"

The praises that came one after another were particularly clear at night when the flags were blowing.

Wei Xi looked at his cousin who was safe and sound, finally put down the teacup that was about to break, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But the thick and pungent smell of rust in the air rushed into her nostrils, making her frown slightly.

Wei Xi sat in front of the desk in the tent. He raised his fingertips lightly, and a figure appeared from somewhere in the small space.

"Twelve, this is the Jiang family's ancestral prescription, which is better than the wound medicine prescribed by the imperial physicians. Send it to the Han family's tent for me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Twelve saw the worry in the other's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and still reminded: "Your Highness, do you have anyone to bring with you?"

Wei Xi put his hands on the edge of the chair, lowered his eyebrows, and said in a hoarse voice: "No need, the medicine has been delivered, and my uncle and his family will make their own decisions. Next, the Han family should just step aside and watch the show."

Today, my cousin went hunting and made himself known to His Majesty. He will soon take over from my grandfather who is at the border and officially inherit the Han family army.

It can be said that except for the injuries on my body, everything went as planned.

Perhaps the injuries on his body were all expected, because the aristocratic families would not watch hundreds of thousands of Han family soldiers become Wei Xi's support. Han Zimo was destined to go through a storm when he took over the Han family army.

Although others couldn't see it, she could still see that her cousin was using the reins to steady his body, and his leg was seriously injured!

Next, we need to counterattack according to the plan.

But when she thought of Wei Chen's intimate eyes, she still couldn't bear to do it.

But now, the plans of her father and the Han family are no longer under her control.

She was conflicted, reluctant, helpless...and finally let out a sigh.

She only hoped that tomorrow's safe zone hunt would save Wei Chen's life.

…………

The wind in the royal hunting grounds is particularly cold today.

The outskirts of the hunting grounds have always been a safe zone, and people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs would also release some rabbits, pheasants, etc. in these woods for women and children to play with.

However, today the periphery is controlled by the Royal Guards, and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave.

In front of the guards holding spears stood dozens of young boys and girls.

The Da Zhao dynasty was conquered on horseback, and in the early days of its establishment, it attached great importance to martial arts. In addition, Wei Xi, as a woman, also practiced martial arts, and the aristocratic families would also let their daughters learn some.

Although there were both men and women, Wei Xi holding a bow and arrow still stood out among the many men.

Wei Chen saw the hair tie on Wei Xi's head was curved by the wind, and he puffed out his chest with pride.

None of the dandies present can compare to the imperial sister!

Compared to the joy on the children's faces, the adults looked a little more worried.

It is because Your Majesty also attaches great importance to this hunting event. The winner can receive grace from Your Majesty.

If used well, this can even lead to a rapid rise in family success.

But today's opponents include the second princess Wei Xi. If she wants to win, she will have to defeat this daughter who has been personally taught by His Majesty.

Win or not win, it’s a choice!

As drums beat and flags fell, this hunt full of opportunities and challenges began.

Among the mottled shadows of the trees, you can see scattered members of the guard. These people will only observe the situation in the trees, protect the safety of the children, and will not intervene in the hunting.

If you look closely, you can see several secret guards hiding very deeply, and they don't know each other.

However, just by looking at the direction of the secret guards' eyes, one can tell which family they belong to.

This is also the person that His Majesty has tacitly allowed to keep the children safe.

But as the number of people increases, there are more ways to manipulate things.

However, these secret actions did not affect the children's high spirits.

Once we entered the woods, everyone found their own small groups and dispersed.

On Wei Xi's left is Wei Chen, and on his right is Han Zimo's younger sister Han Ziyu, who is also the eldest daughter of this generation of the Han family and is two years older than Wei Xi.

Wei Xi saw that he had distanced himself from everyone else and asked worriedly, "Cousin, how is my cousin injured?"

Han Ziyu glanced at Wei Chen on the left, and seeing him looking around curiously, he sighed imperceptibly and said, "It's okay, just some superficial injuries. Your Majesty has also asked His Majesty to send an imperial physician to take a look. My cousin can rest assured now."

As he said this, he looked deeply at Wei Xi, and they understood each other's unfinished words.

"That's good!" Wei Xi nodded softly in response.

"Let's not talk about this. Big brother took the lead yesterday. Let's see how we defeat those people today." Han Ziyu saw the worry in Wei Xi's eyes and livened up the atmosphere.

Wei Chen watched as everyone around him shot a hare with an arrow, and hurriedly said, "My cousin is right, sister, let's get started!"

Since he was still young, he naturally wouldn't really participate, he just wanted to join in the fun, so he was given a small bow and arrows to play with, which actually had no killing power.

Wei Xi knew that worrying now was useless. Only by winning the hunt could she live up to everyone's plans for her.

"Okay!" Wei Xi raised his arm and the three of them began to scan the prey hidden in the woods like eagles.

The sun was hanging alone in the sky, and the shadows of the grass and trees were extremely short and thick.

In just a blink of an eye, an arrow flew across the sky and hit the pheasant that was foraging.

"Royal sister, I hit it!" Wei Chen watched Wei Xi hit the target, and his calves flapped as he reached the prey.

Ignoring the smell of blood, he picked it up and held it towards Wei Xi. The deciduous teeth were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Wei Xi and Han Ziyu smiled at each other.

"I didn't expect that the Queen Mother regards you as an enemy, while the Third Prince is particularly close to you." Han Ziyu said with a smile, with a rare look of ease on his face.

Wei Xi looked at the little person waving at them from a distance, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"Chen'er is kindhearted by nature. After all, he is the emperor's child. Although it is not appropriate to spoil him too much, even the queen cannot interfere with his education."

Han Ziyu nodded: "He is the only prince left now. If he is overly pampered, the attention of the royal family of the previous dynasty and the officials of the current dynasty will be focused on him, and the growth of the third prince will be uncontrollable. Now that he is ignored, there will be fewer disasters."

Wei Xi nodded and said, "Yes, although there are still some storms now, at least they are under the watchful eyes of the Emperor Father, so they won't cause any trouble."

As the two were talking, they soon arrived next to their prey.

Wei Chen's hands were stained with some animal blood, and he held it up like he was presenting a treasure: "Royal sister, cousin, this is already the eleventh prey we have shot. The teams we met on the road didn't have many prey in their hands. Today's first prize must belong to Royal sister!"
