Children like Xia Qingqing don't need to go. They are not even as tall as a horse's knees, and they will just be kicked by the prey if they go.

I followed the Queen in the tent, drinking tea and eating snacks. The autumn breeze blew, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Isn't it beautiful?

Those who go hunting work very hard, get sweaty and smelly, but it's not worth it.

He picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Xiao Yihan with a smile, "Brother Xiao, have some dessert."

Xiao Yihan took it. When the Queen saw this, she suddenly thought of Concubine Lin's words and looked at Xiao Yihan again.

This little face does seem to be pretty good looking. At such a young age you can tell he will be a handsome guy in the future. Could it be that Nannan treats him well just because of this face?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly become so nice to Xiao Yihan?

No, there was no way she would hand over her daughter to a proton!

When Xia Qingqing heard her mother's thoughts, she was so imaginative that she could set up a big drama in her mind. Isn't this too imaginative?

"Mom! Is there anything else I can eat?"

The queen came out of those thoughts and looked at Xia Qingqing blankly. After repeating it once, she remembered that there was another dessert, so she hurriedly ran to the back and took out the freshly made pastries.

Xia Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. If her mother had continued thinking about it, she would probably have to get married.

The queen took out the freshly made chestnut cake, and Xia Qingqing stood on the chair and smelled it madly.

"Hmm, it smells so good! Mom, is this the chestnut cake you made?"

Seeing Xia Qingqing's reaction, the Queen felt very satisfied and put down the chestnut cake that had just come out of the pot with a smile.

"Yes, this is made by mother, you guys should try it quickly."

As soon as Xia Qingqing smelled it, she couldn't wait to eat it. The chestnut cake just out of the pot was soft and fluffy, with the sweet taste of chestnuts. It was really delicious.

"Now is the season for eating chestnuts. Yesterday, Tan Yun said he saw a chestnut tree, so he took people to pick chestnuts. It's just right to make chestnut cakes for you."

Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up. She understood the key point. Chestnuts were available now. She wanted to eat roasted chestnuts!

"Mother, chestnuts, make roasted chestnuts!!"

Xia Qingqing yelled, and everyone looked over. "Roast chestnuts? How do you roast them?"

It turns out they don't know how to roast chestnuts, which is great, she can show off her skills.

When Xia Qingqing heard that she wanted to make chestnuts to eat, she frowned and said, "But there are no chestnuts in the backyard anymore. We have to go outside and pick some more."

"It doesn't matter. Nannan and Brother Xiao will go out to pick chestnuts."

The queen disagreed. "You are still young and can't even climb a tree. How can you pick chestnuts? Be good and stay here with your mother. Let the servants pick them."

Picking chestnuts is fun, but it’s different. “No, Nannan wants to pick them. I promise I won’t do anything dangerous.”

Xia Qingqing looked at the queen eagerly, but finally she softened her heart and agreed to let them go to pick chestnuts. After all, there were servants around, so they shouldn't be hurt.

Xia Qingqing happily took Xiao Yihan out to pick chestnuts. As soon as they went out, they saw Xia Yu swaggering in. Seeing Xia Qingqing, they happily went forward to greet her.

"Qingqing, how did you know I was coming and come to greet me? That's so nice of you."

He opened his arms and waited for Xia Qingqing to come over, but Xia Qingqing stopped and asked in confusion.

"Fifth brother, why are you here?"

She just stopped in front of his eyes and did not throw herself into his arms as he expected. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He had envied her when he saw her throw herself into Xia Zhao's arms like this before.

He also wanted to experience this feeling. It must be a wonderful feeling to have such a soft sister throwing herself into his arms.

"Fifth brother?"

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't say anything, Xia Qingqing shouted again. Xia Yu came back to his senses and looked at Xia Qingqing holding Xiao Yihan's hand. He narrowed his eyes and separated them unnoticeably.

"It's alright, where are you going?"

Xia Qingqing's eyes sparkled as she said excitedly, "We are going to pick chestnuts. Do you want to go, Brother Wu?"

Pick chestnuts. Xia Yu nodded and took Xia Qingqing's hand. "Okay, I'll go with you."

Without looking at Xiao Yihan, he just pulled Xia Qingqing away. Xiao Yihan looked at his empty hands, his eyes fixed on Xia Yu's hand, he lowered his eyes, and followed.

Led by the servants, they came to a forest with several chestnut trees.

"Wow, there are so many! Let's pick them quickly. I can't wait to eat the chestnuts!"

The servants went up to pick chestnuts, and Xia Qingqing picked chestnuts below. The chestnuts that had just been picked were covered with thorny shells, so they just had to peel off the thorns.

They picked a lot of chestnuts and took them back. When Xia Yu heard that they were going to make some roasted chestnuts, she followed them over.

She went to her own yard and gave the picked chestnuts to Chuntao, Taohua and the others. Xia Qingqing was directing them from the side. It was very simple to roast the chestnuts, as there happened to be a ready-made oven in the kitchen.

Take out the chestnuts and cut them into small pieces. Then mix sugar and honey into them, apply some oil on them, and bake them in the oven.

I guess it will take a long time, but it’s still early now, so I can come back after lunch.

It was already noon, and most of the people who had gone hunting in autumn had returned, and everyone returned to the central square.

According to the headcount, Xia Yun had the most people, and the adults had no interest in competing, they were just playing for fun.

Xia Xuan was very happy and rewarded Xia Yun on the spot, "Old Two has the most prey, so you will be rewarded handsomely! Tell me, what do you want?"

Xia Yun remained calm, as if this was a very normal thing, without the slightest hint of pride.

"I don't want anything, I just hope that my father can be healthy and the people can be happy."

With his eyelids lowered, no one could see his true expression. Hearing his words, Xia Xuan laughed out loud with relief.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my son, but I still have to reward you. How about this, when you want something, tell me and I will agree to it!"

This was equivalent to a condition that would definitely be agreed to. The ministers around were all shocked, as this was something no one else could ask for.

"Thank you, father!" Xia Yun knelt down to express his gratitude, without any waves in his heart.

Xia Zhao next to him still had a gentle expression on his face and congratulated him sincerely.

"My second brother is really amazing. I feel a little ashamed of myself."

Xia Zhao didn't care about this ranking at all, he just treated it as a game. Xia Yun turned around, thanked Xia Zhao, and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Xia Qingqing who was sitting there.

Xia Qingqing was stunned. Was he looking at her just now?
