The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

Mrs. Xie was a cheerful person. When they first met, she took Mu Jin's hand in a familiar manner. Seeing that Mu Jin happily accepted to go hunting with her, she smiled even more warmly.

Mu Jin couldn't help but be infected by Mrs. Xie's hearty laughter and started laughing too.

"Although Miss Mu and I are of different generations, we feel like we've known each other for a long time. If King Yi's mother were still alive, she would be very happy to see you as her future daughter-in-law."

Mu Jin pretended not to know and asked casually, "Does Madam Xie know King Yi's mother?"

Hearing Mu Jin's question, Madam Xie couldn't help but show a trace of sadness in her eyes: "The young prince's mother is the eldest princess of our Southern Shu Kingdom. Who doesn't know it?"

"It's just that she and I are childhood friends. Our relationship is closer than that of ordinary people."

Mu Jin looked at Madam Xie in surprise.

Madam Xie continued, "The princess's mother passed away when she was born, so the emperor poured all his love into her. Generally speaking, people who are doted on like this will most likely become arrogant and overbearing."

"But Princess, she has been beautiful since she was young, like a fairy from heaven. What's more valuable is that she is also a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, how could she be deceived by Su Yu, a beast in human clothing?"

Mrs. Xie was outspoken, and as soon as she said this, she realized that she shouldn't have mentioned this in front of Mu Jin, and she quickly apologized.

"Oh, look at my mouth, it's so full of gossip! I'm just so happy to see you. As I get older, I become more talkative. I hope you won't be offended."

Mu Jin smiled and responded, "Mrs. Xie, you are too polite. I like your straightforward personality. You don't hide anything. To be honest, I really don't like the villain you call a beast in human clothing."

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, laughed a few times, said "OK" several times, and then took Mu Jin on the horse and started hunting with the noble ladies in the field.

Madam Xie was worthy of being born into a family of military generals. Although she was over forty, her grace and elegance were outstanding, not inferior to those aristocratic ladies on the field.

She was agile, moving as fast as the wind, and as nimble as a cheetah. She quickly succeeded in hunting three rabbits and five pheasants.

Mu Jin had no intention of showing off in such an occasion. After an hour, she only caught a pheasant.

The ladies of noble families usually find it difficult to hold out for too long under the scorching sun.

Some people were even eager to leave, but because of their face, they secretly instructed the guards to place some of the shot prey in the grass in advance to avoid losing face in front of everyone.

An hour later, all the ladies and young ladies from the noble families returned to the shed outside for everyone to rest.

There are many ice cubes, fruits and snacks in the pergola for everyone to cool off and relieve fatigue.

The ladies sat inside drinking tea and eating snacks, occasionally bragging to each other about how many prey they had hunted that day, or perhaps showing off how their relatives had recently been promoted to higher ranks, or how expensive the fabrics and jewelry they were wearing were.

Mu Jin had a smile on his face as he watched the laughter and joy in the venue from afar, but his eyes would occasionally glance towards the inner field.

Madam Xie handed Mu Jin a cup of tea and said, "Miss Mu, are you worried about the young prince?"

Mu Jin smiled and said, "When do they usually come out?"

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "The men are different from us women. We women are delicate and afraid of getting sunburned, sweaty, and tired. We just want to go on stage for fun."

"Men are different. They are very competitive. When they see one family hunting a deer, they want to hunt a tiger. When they see another hunting a tiger, they want to hunt a bear and win the first prize."

"In previous years, they were reluctant to go out before the sun went down, so it's still a long time before they come back."

Mu Jin looked surprised and asked, "Isn't this black bear easy to hunt? I wonder if we will encounter any danger?"

Madam Xie turned to look at Mu Jin, smiling, and said, "Miss Mu, are you worried about the young prince? Hunting is certainly dangerous, but you don't have to worry too much. Although the beasts inside are extremely ferocious, you also saw that the young prince brought a lot of people with him today."

"Moreover, the young prince is an excellent martial artist. He is not like those dandy boys who only know how to perform fancy moves. His ability to protect himself is quite impressive."

Mu Jin nodded, but still looked worried, and asked, "But this inner field is so big, what if someone gets lost inside?"

Mrs. Xie smiled nonchalantly and said, "How could that be? Every time we go hunting, there is always someone to lead the way, and everyone is familiar with the route."

"What if an accident happens, for example, someone gets hurt, how do we notify the outside world in time?" Seeing that Mu Jin was still worried, Mrs. Xie smiled, took Mu Jin's hand, patted him and said with a smile.

"Miss Mu, don't worry. If someone is injured, a signal flare will be fired and the people outside will come to rescue them when they see it."

Hearing this, Mu Jin smiled and said, "I feel relieved now that Madam Xie said so."

Mu Jin had a smile on her face but was thinking secretly in her heart, it seems that Madam Xie didn't know what was going on in the backstage, otherwise how could she chat with her so leisurely.

Mu Jin was extremely anxious. She was unfamiliar with the place in Bianliang and couldn't even find anyone to talk to. Su Yi had helped her many times, and although they quarreled on weekdays, she never wanted Su Yi to encounter any accidents.

When she thought that Su Yi might be in danger, she just wanted to think of a way to help him immediately. Mu Jin also thought about rushing into the inner field regardless of everything, but she knew nothing about Su Yi's plan. If she rushed in rashly, it might disrupt Su Yi's plan.

She gazed at the endless forests in the distance, thinking that there might be swordplay going on there at this moment. Mu Jin's heart sank gradually.

Mu Jin and Madam Xie sat under the pavilion and chatted until the sun started to set, and then many royal family members and ministers gradually came out from the inner court.

The ladies in the pavilion looked at their family members walking out of the inner field with the prey, and they all surrounded them excitedly.

At this time, a group of people rushed out from the inner field again. The leader was a burly man with a ferocious look and a bloodthirsty face. He threw a big tiger from the back of his horse.

Although it was not the black bear that was the prize, everyone knew that the emperor had entered the hunting grounds this time, so who would dare to go and hunt a black bear? This prize must be taken by the emperor alone.

Therefore, the difficulty of hunting this gorgeous tiger is no less than that of hunting a black bear. And from what this person saw, he knew that he had a very important position in the Southern Shu Kingdom. After all, everyone around him gathered around and cheered for him loudly.

Madam Xie said, "That is the head of the Lin family, General Lin Shiyong."

Mu Jin suddenly realized that this was Lin Yueru's father, the ambitious general named Lin. This man looked so violent that he could hardly hide the murderous intent in his heart.

No wonder Lin Yueru is so arrogant and domineering. With a father like this, she doesn’t need to do anything. Just standing there is enough to scare people to death.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Xie's husband and son also hunted a tiger and ran out from the inner field. Mrs. Xie also said goodbye to Mu Jin and walked towards her husband and son.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Mu Jin was the only one sitting in the pergola. However, Emperor Nan Gaozong Su Yi did not come out from the inner court, and Mu Jin's heart could not help but tighten.
