You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Black tents were set up one after another. Xiao Yan stood in front of a tent. A young man wearing black dragon armor ran towards him with a smile on his face:

"Brother Prince!"

The young man shouted, and the noble aura around him showed that he was raised in a wealthy family.

Xiao Yan turned around and saw the person coming. The ice in his eyes melted a little:

"Seventh brother, how is the patrol going?"

The seventh prince Xiao Jian was born to Concubine Yue. Concubine Yue was good friends with the Queen, so Xiao Jian had a much closer relationship with the seventh prince than with the other princes.

"Everything is normal, no problems were found."

Xiao Yan nodded and said:

"Spring hunting is a big event, so be careful and alert, and don't be careless."

"I understand, Prince."

The Spring Hunt has been held until now, and although there have been assassinations every year, if the security work is done well, it will be a great achievement.

They are just a few gangster assassins, nothing to be afraid of.

This job was requested by his mother from his mother, the Queen Mother. He did not ask to be the crown prince, but only wanted to be granted the title of a leisurely prince after he had made achievements.

As the two were talking, a purple-robed eunuch came over, his slender eyebrows were tinged with a smile, and he said respectfully:

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Queen invites you to come into the Phoenix Tent for a chat."

Hearing the queen calling him, Xiao Yan gave Xiao Jian a few instructions and then walked towards the phoenix tent.

Xiao Yun was the Queen's son. When he was young, the Queen treated him like the apple of her eye. When she heard that he was going to be sent to the Huguo Temple, she cried so hard that her eyes almost went blind.

Knowing that he had encountered a robbery and was able to escape danger, he kept fasting and worshiping Buddha in gratitude for the Buddha's kindness.

Knowing that Liu Yiyi was the one who saved him, he treated Liu Yiyi even better.

If the Queen didn't know that they had feelings for each other, she would have adopted Liu Yiyi as her adopted daughter.

Although Xiao Yun went to the Huguo Temple and was separated from her for several years, they continued to exchange letters during that period. His admiration for the queen never diminished in the slightest, and the relationship between mother and son grew even deeper.

"Mother."

Xiao Yan called out, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of lightness.

In front of the incense table in the phoenix tent, the queen, wearing a black queen's gown, held Buddhist beads in her hands and clasped her hands together as she worshiped the Buddha statue in front of her. Her eyebrows were graceful and her elegant and dignified face was full of piety.

When he heard the noise outside, he bowed again and then turned around.

Seeing Xiao Yan bowing to him, he waved to the eunuchs beside him and asked everyone to leave:

"Come here, Ying'er, pray to the Buddha with your mother, and ask the Buddha to bless you."

Xiao Yun stepped forward, took three incense sticks, lit them, and followed suit to bow.

"Mother, did you ask me to come here? Is there something you want to tell me?"

"If nothing happens, then the Queen Mother can't call you?"

The Queen said as she went over to pour Xiao Yan a cup of tea:

"This is the best mountain tea, please try it."

Xiao Yan took it and took a few sips:

"It has a rich aroma and a mellow and smooth taste. It is indeed a good tea. Thank you, mother."

When the queen heard his words, her eyebrows curved and she smiled:

"Really?"

Before Xiao Yan could react, the Queen continued:

"I put something in the tea, didn't you feel it just now?"

If there was one person in the world that Xiao Yan trusted the most, it would be the Queen.

Because the emperor is also the father of others, and the queen mother will only be his queen mother. The queen mother wishes him well more than anyone else, and the queen mother will not harm him.

Xiao Yan took the teacup and read the news again, a trace of helplessness flashed across his dark eyes:

"Marrow-transforming pill?"

This is a pill to dissolve internal energy. I don’t know what his mother wants to do.

"That's right! But the Queen Mother only released half of it, and only dissolved half of your internal strength."

Xiao Yun felt the internal force in his body and found that it had indeed been dissolved by half.

If it were someone else, he would have twisted the other person's head off long ago.

But the other party is the queen mother, and she must have her reasons for doing this.

Xiao Yan let out a soft "oh".

Looking at Xiao Yan's calm face, the Queen was incredulous:

"Oh? You just said oh and that was it? Shouldn't you cry and rebuke mother, asking her why she gave you this to eat?"

Looking at the boastful queen, Xiao Yan said calmly:

"So why did your mother give this marrow-transforming pill to your son?"

The queen seemed a little guilty and said:

"You always won the first prize in the Spring Hunt every year. You are too outstanding. Mother, the Queen, has no other choice! But it's just one first prize. It's okay to give it to another prince. You don't even know that last year you only won the first prize and received a reward from your father. How many concubines targeted me? It's really not conducive to the unity of the harem."

Then he quickly added:

“But mother left you 50% of her internal strength, so if an assassin comes you can still defend yourself, but a few martial artists can’t beat you.

If you only have 50% of your skills, they can't beat you, which means they are useless!

I hope you won't blame your mother!"

At the end of her speech, the queen glanced at her son cautiously.

Xiao Yan sighed slightly. With his mother's unreliable personality, he didn't know how she got to this position.

"If your Majesty Queen does not want me to take first place, just tell me directly."

"Then if I tell you that you deliberately gave in to them, it would be too obvious. They are not stupid."

Xiao Yan: "...Where's the antidote?"

"There is no antidote for this. It will resolve itself after twelve hours. My mother has asked the imperial physician, and he said this medicine has no side effects."

"Your Majesty, the Spring Hunt has begun. You need to enter with the Emperor."

The voice of Eunuch Hu came from outside.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

"Then the Queen Mother will go first. Remember not to take it too seriously..."

Looking at the lowered curtain, Xiao Yun's dark eyes flashed slightly.

Fifty percent of the internal strength is more than enough to deal with those people in the martial arts world, but I am just afraid that other accidents may occur.

He summoned the wind and said:

"Go tell the Seventh Prince to step up his guard."

"Yes……"

……

The spring hunt begins and everyone takes their seats.

The Emperor and Empress sat on the high platform, slightly tilting their heads and whispering. Below them were officials on both sides, all with smiles on their faces, looking relaxed and at ease, unlike their usual rigid and serious demeanor.

The ministers and the emperor talked animatedly, discussing last year's harvest and chatting about family matters.

With one hundred taels of gold as the prize, the majestic and domineering emperor sat on his horse, holding a bow in his hand, and shot five arrows at once, hitting five flying birds.

"Go! Good boys!"

Everyone cheered. As the emperor finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves rose, dust flew, and the spirited young men rode their horses into the hunting ground.

In hunting, ceremony is more important than entertainment and winning or losing is more important.

Therefore, anyone who wants to participate, regardless of gender, can participate.

Liu Yiyi was weak, so Xiao Yan picked a docile pony for her and held the reins in his hand.

From a distance, the two looked like a perfect couple.

Xiao Ran has been looking for Lin Zhaoyue since he entered the hunting ground.

"Zhao Zhao, you made me look so hard!"

Xiao Ran was wearing a red riding suit today, and he looked extremely dashing.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Ran who was riding over and said:

"Maybe he had a stomachache when he came here, and he has been going to the toilet all the time."

“I said I couldn’t find it.”

As Xiao Ran spoke, he looked at Xiao Yan and Liu Yiyi not far away, and became extremely angry.

This would have been fine in the past, but now Zhao Zhao is the future Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince is only taking care of Liu Yiyi. How do other people view Zhao Zhao?

"Zhao Zhao, let's go to the Crown Prince. I don't believe that the Crown Prince will ignore you."

As he said that, Xiao Ran grabbed the reins and was about to go over.

Whether in the previous life or this life, someone wanted to kill Xiao Ran. It was too dangerous around him, so Lin Zhaoyue naturally would not let Xiao Ran go.

And Xiao Ran's presence would hinder her plans.

"Cuckoo."

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyue's stomach rumbled.

Xiao Ran: “…”

"Do you really have diarrhea?"

Lin Zhaoyue nodded and said:

"I can't do it anymore. I'm going to the toilet first. You go play with them first. I'll be there soon."

I don’t know where Qingzhu found the medicine, but it’s too strong.
