The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

She is indeed worthy of being the daughter raised by Marquis Gu.

Wen Zhu had just come back to his senses when he bumped into Gu Jianyue's smiling eyes. Her smile seemed to be filled with sunshine, which made people tremble all over and their heartbeats accelerated unconsciously. Even Wen Zhu himself probably didn't notice that his earlobes were faintly flushed.

"Lord Wen, would you like to have a competition to see who can shoot the most prey?" Gu Jianyue's voice was ethereal, like a lark echoing in the valley, penetrating the eardrums and sounding particularly beautiful.

Wen Zhu immediately lowered his head. "My kung fu is better than Miss Gu's, and I'm a man. If I compete with Miss Gu in hunting, I'm afraid I'll be bullying Miss Gu."

Gu Jianyue's eyebrows curved, and her smile became more intense. "Lord Wen's injuries have not healed yet. New injuries plus old injuries, we are even. It's not considered bullying. Lord Wen, just decide whether to compete or not."

There was a strength in Gu Jianyue's voice that could not be refused.

Wen Zhu's hands gripping the reins kept tightening, and he was struggling inside.

Gu Jianyue naturally noticed Wen Zhu's hesitation and asked with a smile, "Master Wen, are you afraid of losing to a little girl like me? Or are you worried that the Queen will know about this and think you are bullying me?"

"I didn't." Wen Zhu quickly refuted Gu Jianyue's guess.

Although Gu Jianyue cannot be said to be a girl favored by heaven, she is the daughter of Marquis Gu and the sister of the Queen. She is a sunflower in the sun. She is bright and grows towards the sun. She embodies the beauty of living in the light.

As for him, he spent the whole day helping the emperor do those shady things, his hands were stained with blood, and he was an existence that everyone avoided. His reason told him that he should stay away from Gu Jianyue, as far away as possible. He should not let Gu Jianyue be criticized because of his identity, and he should not let her live under a cloud because of himself.

But his heart wanted to get closer. Everyone wants to get closer to the sunshine, especially someone as beautiful as Gu Jianyue, who has endless attraction.

Without waiting for Wen Zhu to say anything to refuse, Gu Jianyue said directly, "Since you don't have any, then let's compete together. I may not have hunted less land than Lord Wen."

"Since Lord Wen doesn't say anything, I will take it that Lord Wen agrees." After Gu Jianyue finished speaking, he looked at Wen Zhu with a smile, whipped the horse's butt, and walked into the depths of the woods.

Now there are only some hares and flying birds left in the forest. There are no particularly dangerous animals, but the forest is quite deep.

Wen Zhu was afraid that Gu Jianyue would get lost in the dense forest, so he quickly spurred his horse to chase after her, "Miss Gu, please slow down."

"If we slow down, won't we give Lord Wen an opportunity to take advantage of us?" Gu Jianyue's eyes fell on the hare in the grass. She quickly pulled out the crossbow hanging on her horse and shot an arrow in that direction. The hare was immediately shot through the leg by Gu Jianyue.

Seeing the position where Gu Jianyue shot the hare, Wen Zhu couldn't help but think of the time when Gu Jianyue was teaching Wen Nuan how to use a crossbow and also shot a rabbit in the leg. At that time, she thought that Gu Jianyue's shooting was not accurate, but she didn't expect that Gu Jianyue did it on purpose. She just wanted to hunt, but didn't want to hurt the rabbit's life.

Compared to shooting to death, the most difficult thing is to just hit the enemy without taking any life-threatening consequences.

I really underestimated Gu Jianyue.

He really shouldn't get close to such a beautiful person who is unwilling to kill. He should stay away from him.

Along the way, Wen Zhu was in a low mood and stayed by Gu Jianyue's side, not hunting much prey.

At the same time, Wen Nuan was practicing as taught by Gu Jianyue.

But she had just started hunting, and she couldn't aim well, so she missed the target every time. The hares became alert and ran away immediately.

"It's inevitable when you first start practicing. Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Wait until you have completely aimed at the prey before you pull the trigger. After all, when we first start learning horse archery, we shoot at dead objects. Your Majesty, you are directly shooting at a living object with great difficulty. It is inevitable that you will miss. After all, it is impossible for a hare to stand there straight and wait for your shooting." Gu Jianbai rode his horse to Wen Nuan's back and encouraged her.

She felt a figure approaching, her body temperature rising, and her hand holding the crossbow trembled slightly. Although she had met Gu Jianbai several times, she couldn't help but feel nervous every time she saw Gu Jianbai.

When Gu Jianbai got closer, he realized that Wen Nuan's hand was trembling slightly. Gu Jianbai pressed the arrow against Wen Nuan's arm, and Wen Nuan froze instantly, even her movements becoming sluggish. "You've raised your arm too high, which will inevitably affect your sight and aim. Also, don't let your hand tremble, as this will affect your accuracy. Also, relax and don't be so tense. The more tense you are, the more nervous you will be."

Gu Jianbai was by her side the whole time, it would be a miracle if she wasn't nervous.

Wen Nuan adjusted her posture as Gu Jianbai had instructed, lowered the crossbow a little, and aimed at the rabbit not far away. She tensed her body and tried her best to stop it from shaking so much.

"Let it go." Gu Jianbai helped Wen Nuan adjust the direction.

Wen Nuan listened to Gu Jianbai's words, her fingers frantically pulling the trigger on her crossbow. She instantly closed her eyes, not daring to look ahead. After a long moment of silence, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced forward. She saw a rabbit pierced through the abdomen, lying straight and stiff in the grass. Wen Nuan was so surprised that she almost jumped up. Then she realized she was still on her horse and steadied herself. "I shot it! I shot it."

"Your Majesty is smart and can learn things quickly. This rabbit is the first prey you have shot. You can take it back and braise it or cook it spicy. It will taste good." The reason why Gu Jianbai was willing to talk to Wen Nuan more was because Wen Nuan and Gu Jianchu had a good relationship. In addition, Wen Nuan had never competed for favor with Gu Jianchu. Otherwise, with the protective nature of the Gu family, they would definitely not get close to Wen Nuan.

"It's all thanks to General Gu. If it weren't for General Gu's guidance, I would never have been able to hunt this hare." Wen Nuan said as she slid down from the horse. She didn't have good skills and couldn't be as graceful as Gu Jianyue, so she could only rely on sliding on the ground.

Wen Nuan personally went forward to pick up the hare on the ground. Just as she was about to show off, Gu Jianbai looked at her with a darkening look in his eyes. "My Queen, be careful behind you."

After Gu Jianbai's reminder, Wen Nuan turned around and saw a small snake coiled on the branch behind her. Its green body blended into the forest and it could not be seen at all if you didn't look carefully.

Wen Nuan has been afraid of snakes since she was a child. The moment she saw a snake, she couldn't help but scream.

Not only did the snake not retreat, but it attacked Wen Nuan. The moment before the snake touched Wen Nuan, Gu Jianbai drew the sword from his waist and cut the snake in half.
