Chu Jing quickly withdrew his gaze, stepped aside half a step, and the distance between them widened a little.

Xie Qiheng opened the door, and Zhirong and Yujin, who were waiting not far outside, immediately looked over.

Seeing Chu Jing and Xie Qiheng standing side by side inside the door, they looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

The two came over immediately, "Prince, Princess!"

Chu Jing was the first to step out the door and hurried downstairs.

Seeing this, Xie Qiheng was stunned at first, but after he figured it out, he couldn't help laughing.

Xiaojing, are you shy?

Xie Qiheng touched his handsome face and thought, it seems like it’s another beauty trap!

He immediately hurried downstairs and rode his horse to escort Chu Jing's carriage all the way back to Xia Mansion.

Zhirong looked at Yujin and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Why did she act strangely when she came out of the teahouse just now? It seemed a bit like she was angry, but not really."

Yu Jin didn't understand, how could she know! Eighty percent of the time, it was Prince Cheng who bullied the princess again!

Xia Bin has been very troubled recently. Xie Qiheng comes up to him from time to time and becomes his brother. After many contacts, he has to admit that Xie Qiheng is indeed a good person, but he actually covets his younger sister!

This is unforgivable!

When he returned home in the evening, he heard that his younger sister had returned from the palace today and was escorted back by Xie Qiheng, which made him even more alarmed.

I immediately ran to Chu Jing's yard to see what was going on.

Chu Jing was practicing calligraphy to calm her mind. To be honest, she did not have any bad feelings towards Xie Qiheng.

Regardless of the reason, she had no reason to refuse to approach Xie Qiheng.

But Xie Qiheng is going to rebel in the future. If he does, what will happen to the Xia family?

What is Mr. Xia’s attitude?

Chu Jing had only just learned a little and couldn't figure out what Xia's father was thinking.

Xie Qiheng......

"Little sister! You..." Xia Bin suddenly appeared beside, and Chu Jing's pen slipped, and the words she had just written were ruined.

"Third brother! You scared me! How come you came in without making any noise?"

It wasn't that Xia Bin didn't make any sound; it was clearly Chu Jing who was distracted and didn't notice.

Xia Bin reached out and picked up the damaged paper on the table. He looked at the last three words and sneered, "I think you were worried too much and didn't notice me coming!"

Chu Jing looked and found that what she said was actually the three words "Xie Qiheng"!

Xia Bin crumpled up the paper and threw it into the stove. "Little sister, you should avoid that scoundrel and street thug in the future. Look! It didn't take long for you to be deceived by him!"

Someone with a strong mind like him wouldn't... be deceived so quickly!

Chu Jing was speechless, "Third brother, why did you come to see me?"

Xia Bin: "I came here just for him!"

Xia Bin pointed at the paper ball that was almost burned out.

"I heard from the concierge that he brought you back this afternoon?"

Chu Jing nodded, "The Sixth Princess invited me to the palace, but it was actually the Crown Prince. Xie Qiheng happened to meet me when he came to the palace to pay his respects, and he helped me out. When I left the palace, he said he would escort me back home."

Xia Bin nodded after hearing this. "The prince is cunning. I'd better try to avoid him. I'm not afraid of him annoying me, but I'm afraid he might do something bad!"

For the next period of time, Chu Jing stayed in the mansion and rarely went out. The Sixth Princess asked her out many times, but she refused whenever she could.

Soon it was time for spring hunting again.

The location is in the royal hunting ground in the suburbs.

Military generals and civil officials were all present, and young men and women also came on stage.

Chu Jing changed into riding clothes, rode a gentle white horse, and carried an exquisite little bow, showing his heroic appearance.

The Sixth Princess and several young ladies also changed into riding clothes and each carried a bow. The Sixth Princess's bow was inlaid with gems of various sizes, and it looked more like an exhibit than a hunting bow.

"Guess who will win the first place this time?" The Sixth Princess asked excitedly.

What she was talking about was the competition between the young masters of aristocratic families.

The hunt is divided into several tracks, and the one that attracts the most attention from the young ladies is naturally the competition between the young masters of aristocratic families.

"I guess it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Then I guess he's the prince! I've heard he's a young hero, so why wouldn't he strive to win first place in this hunt?"

"I guess it's Mr. Xia San!"

"I guess..."

Everyone talked at once and guessed the names of several capable young men.

The Sixth Princess stopped him, "As usual, let's set up a gambling game this time, shall we?"

Others began to bid. Some offered silver, but only thirty or fifty taels, while others offered hairpins, rings, and jewelry, all of which were ordinary items.

The Sixth Princess asked Chu Jing with a smile, "Anyang, who do you want to bet on to win?"

All the young ladies looked at Chu Jing. After all, the last fight between the Crown Prince and the Prince was still fresh in their minds.

Chu Jing looked at the names everyone had bet on, "I'll bet fifty taels, and I'm betting on the third brother to win!"

The young ladies were greatly disappointed.

The Sixth Princess curled her lips and tugged at Chu Jing's arm. "Anyang! This is so boring! How could you possibly suppress your third brother? No, I'll give you one more chance. If you have to choose between the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng, who do you choose to win?"

If they were to compete, Chu Jing would naturally choose Xie Qiheng to win. After all, the prince was not particularly outstanding in martial arts, but she believed that Xie Qiheng would not be too prominent in this hunt.

But she was unwilling to reveal the prince.

Chu Jing looked at the Sixth Princess with an unconvinced expression, "I think Third Brother will win! Why do we have to choose between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince?"

Sixth Princess: "Oh? You think that the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng are no match for your third brother?"

Chu Jing: "I mean this hunt!"

After saying this, Chu Jing ignored the Sixth Princess and went somewhere else.

The young master naturally also knew about the existence of this gambling game.

Xie Qiheng even heard about the conversation between Chu Jing and the Sixth Princess.

He found out Chu Jing's location and came to block him.

The two were standing by a stream beside a forest. Birds were singing in the forest, the stream was rushing, and there was no one around.

Xie Qiheng held a thin straw in his mouth. He half-leaned against the tree trunk and asked, "I heard you bet on Third Young Master Xia to win the championship?"

Chu Jing showed no sign of weakness, "So what!"

Xie Qiheng smiled and stood up straight. He blinked, spat out the straw in his mouth, and grinned:

"Nothing, I just want to know who do you think is better if I have to choose between the Crown Prince and me?"

This question has double meaning.

Chu Jing naturally understood the trap in this statement, but she pretended not to know and answered seriously:

"That day, I watched you compete with my third brother in martial arts. I know that you are an expert in martial arts, while the Crown Prince is not. If we each showed our strength in hunting, you would naturally be the better one."

Xie Qiheng: "So you chose me? Thank you so much for your kindness, Princess."

Chu Jing: “…” Okay, okay, you can do reading comprehension.

Xie Qiheng also understood the key point. He asked with great interest, "Why do you think I won't show my strength?"

"Feeling." Chu Jing didn't explain. He knew it very well, but he was still pretending!

For some reason, Xie Qiheng seemed even happier when he heard this.

He smiled brightly, a smile that seemed even more dazzling than the sun. "Just wait and see, I will definitely show my strength in the hunt!"

After saying that, Xie Qiheng did not leave immediately, but looked at Chu Jing with a smile.

Chu Jing felt that he had bad intentions.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xie Qiheng say, "Xiao Jing, what color fur do you like?"

Chu Jing was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed, and she instantly got angry and said, "Who allowed you to call me that!"
