Cai Luan covered her mouth and nose, her face wrinkled, and she looked at her with disgust.

"It stinks! Even though you Beiyi are poor, I didn't expect you don't even have money for washing."

"Who are you calling poor?"

"Whoever is a thief will be poor!"

In the case of the theft at the Xihe Envoy Inn, the thieves were found to be from Beiyi. Although they did not admit that they were related to the Beiyi royal family, the relationship between Xihe and Beiyi was already delicate, and after this incident, it was completely torn apart.

"Wave! Stop exaggerating. We are the victims of this theft. Beiyi's belongings are all lost, and their whereabouts are unknown. Who knows if it was your sorcery that did it?"

"How shameless! What Beiyi stuff? You forced Minghua to buy it, and yet you're still exaggerating. If I were you, you'd be stealing from the company!"

One of them had a dark face, the other had a red face, and they were arguing fiercely.

"Thieves are smart, but Princess Beiyi's other things are fine."

Liang Xinrou took the opportunity to interject, "Why did you choose to focus on the things Princess Minghua bought?"

She frowned slightly, looking very confused.

Su Yuejian sneered. Look at his ability to divert trouble away. It’s really good.

Hu Yanying reacted and glared at Su Yuejian, "Princess Roujia is right. How come the only thing lost was the thing you gave me?"

Several people looked at Su Yuejian at the same time. She raised her eyebrow slightly. "Give it away?" He really thought she was a sucker.

"Princess Roujia is wrong," she laughed. "Thieves are not only after treasures, but also beautiful women, aren't they?"

Beauty? Liang Xinrou was stunned and followed her gaze to look at Hu Yanying.

This kind of appearance is also called beauty?

Cai Luan was the first to react, "Exactly, who said only the treasure was lost? Didn't your male favorites also lose their virginity?"

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned. Hu Yanying's face darkened even further when she did. She had been searching for those guards for years, looking for anyone with features even remotely resembling Xiao Heng. Now, some were disfigured, others were completely wiped out!!

Jealousy filled her heart, and she glared at Su Yuejian fiercely, "Do you think you are worthy of being the Regent Princess?!"

"Princess Minghua is the regent consort appointed by the emperor."

Shen Wenshu walked over slowly, her voice soft but powerful.

Su Yuejian was stunned for a moment. Shen Wenshu smiled at her and stood beside her. "Princess Huyan is a guest from afar. As a guest, it is not right for her to give instructions to the host."

"What kind of master are you?"

Hu Yanying sneered. Although the prime minister's daughter was promised to the prince, she had not yet entered the royal family.

"If she doesn't count, then I do?"

The woman's voice was cold and majestic.

Hearing the sound, they looked and saw Xiao Ningyao, dressed in a gorgeous blue palace dress, standing not far away, looking at them with a faint gaze.

"Princess Huyan, the hunting competition is about to begin, and Prince Huyan is waiting for you."

Hu Yanying snorted coldly, glanced at Su Yuejian, and left angrily.

Just wait, Su Yuejian will make her pay back a hundredfold for the humiliation she suffered!

Liang Xinrou was about to speak when she heard Xiao Ningyao say, "Princess Roujia, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well. Why are you not staying by her side and still chatting here?"

"Grandmother Royal worked so hard for your marriage, how come you don't even have this little bit of filial piety?"

Liang Xinrou's face darkened, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she hurried away with her maid.

Looking at Xiao Ningyao's receding back, Su Yue's eyebrows moved slightly.

Xiao Ningyao was trying to rescue her just now, but she never even looked at her from beginning to end.

Retracting his gaze, Su Yuejian was puzzled, "Marriage?"

Shen Wenshu told her that Liang Xinrou was married to the fifth prince.

The fifth prince, Xiao Chengzhi, had an unfavored mother, Concubine Lan, and the fifth prince was also not taken seriously. Fortunately, Concubine Lan's mother's family had some background, which allowed the fifth prince to travel and train outside.

Although her status is not as honorable as Xiao Heng and Xiao Chengnian, she will be a legitimate princess consort when she is crowned king in the future.

"The Queen Mother truly loves Princess Roujia."

Listening to Shen Wenshu's words, Su Yuejian lowered her eyes slightly.

She used to not understand why the Queen Mother doted on an orphan girl so much, but now she understood.

The Queen Mother poured all her love for the deceased Pei'er into Liang Xinrou.

Not only did she hate Xiao Heng, she also gave all the love that should have been given to her own child to others. What's worse, she even wanted to marry this substitute for her beloved daughter to Xiao Heng as a concubine.

She wanted Xiao Heng to spend his whole life compensating her for the pain of losing her daughter.

A layer of coldness covered her brows, and she came back to her senses after three cannon shots.

The majestic sound shook the birds in the forest into flight, announcing the official start of the autumn hunt.

The emperor and empress sat on a high platform, and below the platform were civil and military officials sitting in rows.

"Today's hunting competition, whoever gets the most prey will be handsomely rewarded!"

The emperor laughed loudly, and then a palace maid brought in a white jade bow, which was exquisitely crafted and a rare magic weapon.

Hu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "The weapon is just a small one. Since it is the birthday of Emperor Tianjin, why don't you give him a reward so that everyone can enjoy it together?"

"In that case, let's do as the eldest prince says." The emperor was in a very good mood and looked at the people in the audience, "Let me see what you are capable of!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the people below suddenly lit up, and the noble ladies who were good at riding and shooting all signed up enthusiastically, just to win the favor of the princes.

The men were even more eager to show off in front of the emperor.

The horse neighed and pawed the earth with its hooves. Xiao Chengzhi looked at the person on the white horse beside him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Chengzhi thought that his talent was no less than Xiao Chengchang's, but the emperor always favored him and he never had any chance.

Now that Xiao Chengchang is dead, this Wanshou Festival hunting trip is a good opportunity for him to show off his skills in front of the emperor.

As long as he can defeat Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian, the emperor will definitely take notice of him.

"Fifth Brother, what are you looking at?"

The Sixth Prince Xiao Chengyi rode over on his horse, laughing wildly.

"Nothing." Xiao Chengzhi withdrew his gaze and followed him forward.

Xiao Chengyi patted his chest and said, "Sixth brother, I am honored to be able to compete with the Crown Prince today!"

Xiao Chengnian nodded and chuckled, "Alright! I appreciate you taking care of the King of Qi every day while still not forgetting to practice martial arts. Today, let me see if your riding and archery skills have improved!"

King Qi Xiao Chengyan sat in a wheelchair and looked at the person sitting diagonally above him. "Uncle, ahem... aren't you going to join the hunt?"

Hearing this, everyone looked up and looked at Xiao Heng.

Now that the three kingdoms have come to congratulate, they want to find out more about Tianjin's strength. With Xiao Heng's reputation as a battlefield killer, he shouldn't miss this opportunity. At least he has to kill Bei Yi's arrogance.

But the person in the higher position showed no intention of getting up, and glanced at him lightly with his dark eyes.

Hu Yanzhuo frowned slightly, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Xiao Heng would not participate in the hunting. Wouldn't all the plans he made these days be in vain?

The King of Qi coughed a few more times, and the Emperor frowned, "Don't worry about him with your weak body. You're not much stronger than him!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Heng deeply, his expression gloomy and unclear, then retracted his gaze and looked at the field.

Hunting competitions are open to both men and women, and teams can be formed freely. Participants are all looking for partners.

Huyan Ying was naturally on the same team as Huyan Zhuo, and she stared at Su Yuejian with a cold gaze across the crowd.

"A girl with an afro is actually participating in a hunting competition. The stench from her hair could kill a wild boar from a few meters away!"

Cailuan came over with the horse, "Minghua, please stay away from her."

Minghua is such a beautiful lady, we can't let her stink.

Su Yuejian nodded, and Zhou Min asked, "Who will the princess team up with?"

The two of them looked in the direction her finger pointed, and as expected, it was Xie Jiusi.

Seeing Cailuan's innocent eyes, Su Yuejian always felt that she was being plotted against.
