The horn sounded, and the contestants who had already formed teams entered the hunting ground one after another.

Su Yuejian was stopped at the entrance, "Princess, you need to form a team of two or more to enter."

"Why can they?"

Su Yue was puzzled. The guard looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince had already disappeared into the forest.

The guard bowed and said, "Men can hunt in groups of one, but for safety reasons, women must hunt in pairs or more."

Su Yuejian's eyes turned slightly cold. She didn't expect there was such a rule, but at this moment everyone had already formed a team.

Hu Yanying came over leisurely on his horse and looked down at her.

"I heard that not only are you not good at martial arts, you can't even play polo. Now you have the title of a witch. No wonder no one wants to team up with you."

Zhou Min frowned slightly. He had never heard of this rule in previous years. Seeing Su Yue being stopped, he immediately turned his horse around.

"Yue'er, I'm in the same group with you..."

Looking at Lu Zhan behind her, Su Yuejian shook her head frantically. She couldn't ruin the opportunity for her third brother and Sister Zhou to be alone together.

"No, no, Sister Zhou, I'm not good at archery and I can't hold you back. I have Xuanshuang..."

The guard glanced at the maid she was pointing at and said, "Princess, this maidservant cannot be counted."

Su Yuejian gritted her teeth, not knowing what to do, when a woman's voice came from behind her.

"Can I be in a group with the princess?"

The woman in green had her black hair tied up high and a red dot between her eyebrows. She looked at her timidly.

"This is my first time hunting, and I don't know what kind of companion I should go with. If..."

"Sure." Seeing Zhou Min was about to come over, Su Yuejian immediately agreed, "It's just that my archery skills are not good, I hope the lady doesn't mind."

The eyes of the woman in green lit up, "Of course not, thank you, Princess!"

Seeing that she had teammates, Huyan Ying snorted coldly, glanced at Xiao Heng on the high platform, rode his horse into the forest, and smiled contemptuously.

"let's go."

Just as Su Yuejian finished speaking, the woman in green said awkwardly, "I came a little late and didn't have time to choose a horse."

He paused and turned around, only to see that she had nothing in her hands and was followed by a maid in green. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Not only did she not choose a horse, if she hadn't been wearing a riding suit, you wouldn't have known she was here hunting.

Just as he was about to say that he would wait for her to choose a horse and get a bow and arrow, Xuan Yu's voice came. Su Yuejian turned around and saw him walking towards her with a horse.

"Princess, the prince is worried that the horses in the paddock are wild and difficult to tame, so he specifically asked me to send his Zhuifeng here."

The steed before her was a deep red with flying mane. She stroked Zhuifeng and smiled, "Perfect! I'll give my horse to this young lady."

The woman in green smiled and nodded.

Xuan Yu was a little confused, "Whose family is the princess's teammate? I've never seen her before."

Xuanshuang shook her head and looked at the woman in green walking away with deep eyes.

"Miss, the master asked you to spend more time with Patriarch Xie, how are you..."

"Father is so short-sighted. After what happened, the Xie family has been out of touch for a long time."

The woman in green picked out her bow and arrow, a smile curling her lips. "Besides, no matter how good the Xie family is, can it compare to the royal family?"

The maidservant was even more confused, "But why did the young lady choose to team up with Princess Minghua?"

Just now, she saw the young lady deliberately waiting at the end, and only came forward when she saw Su Yuejian was left alone.

The woman in green said nothing and turned to look at the man on the platform.

He was wearing snow-white clothes and had black hair. His cold and aloof eyes were like the moon in the water. His demeanor was unparalleled, but in his indifferent and deep black eyes, there was a flicker of light. The next second, the coldness between his eyes and eyebrows disappeared instantly, as if a god had descended into the mortal world.

She followed Xiao Heng's gaze and saw the woman in the distance.

Su Yuejian was riding on a fine horse, waving to the people on the platform. Her red and white riding uniform was particularly eye-catching, her black hair was flying in the wind, and her face was as bright as the moon. She was already beautiful, and this smile with its dashing charm made her even more beautiful and heart-throbbing.

The maid was still confused, "What is the relationship between the royal family and Princess Minghua?"

A dark look flashed across the eyes of the woman in green, and she sneered.

It does matter, of course it does matter.

If she approached Xiao Heng directly, she would be dead, but it would be different if she approached Su Yuejian.

Everyone can see that Xiao Heng favors her. If she can establish a good relationship with Su Yuejian, she will have plenty of opportunities to contact Xiao Heng in the future.

Su Yuejian glanced at the lush green forest, then turned to look at the woman in green. "I haven't asked you yet, may I know your name?"

The woman in green smiled brightly, "I was careless. I am from the Wuling Gu family, and my name is Qingdai."

Wuling Gu Family...Su Yuejian's smile paused for a moment.

"What happened to the princess?"

"fine."

Su Yuejian's mouth twitched. She was too careless. She should have asked clearly first. She didn't expect it to be a member of the Gu family!

Not to mention that she already disliked the Gu family because of the incident with Gu Congyu's mother, and just because Gu Xiyue wanted to destroy her innocence, the Taifu Mansion and the Gu family had been at odds for a long time.

Although she said it was okay, Su Yuejian still kept some distance from her.

But Gu Qingdai seemed not to notice her distant appearance and rode her horse a little closer to her.

"Qingdai has only been in Kyoto for a short time. It's such a blessing to meet Princess Minghua at my first banquet!"

"I heard that Princess Minghua and my second great-uncle had a close relationship. Qingdai has admired my great-uncle's talent since she was a child, but unfortunately, she is really dull. If she could be as talented as Princess Minghua, my father wouldn't..."

Su Yue saw the stiff smile and thought, well, hunting today won’t be boring.

Seeing that she was still counting the poems written by herself and Gu Congyu, she pursed her lips. It was not boring, but noisy.

I don't know what she's planning, but...

Catching a glimpse of Xuan Shuang in the distance, Su Yuejian interrupted her and reminded her, "Miss Gu, we are here to hunt."

Gu Qingdai choked and followed Su Yuejian's gaze to the bushes in the distance. A yellow and white tiger was hunting a wild deer, its mouth full of blood, and it was eating happily.

At this moment, the tiger also discovered a few people. A low tiger roar came out of its throat, and its sharp eyes stared at them.

A chill instantly crept up their spines. Gu Qingdai and the maidservant dared not breathe and sat stiffly on their horses, not daring to move.

She and Su Yuejian were the last to enter the hunting ground. They didn't encounter any prey along the way. In addition, Su Yuejian said that she was not good at archery, so they thought she was just participating in the competition for fun.

Gu Qingdai had only hunted rabbits and pheasants at most, but she never expected to encounter such a ferocious beast.

The hand holding the reins trembled slightly, and Gu Qingdai didn't know what to do. She turned around and saw Su Yuejian was calm. She sneered in her heart, thinking that he was indeed not an ordinary person, and he could still pretend to be so calm.

There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance and a strange smell. Gu Qingdai turned around and saw who was coming, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Huyan Zhuo and Huyan Ying looked at the tall tiger in the woods and exchanged glances.

Drawing the bow and arrow, Hu Yanying curled up the corners of his mouth into a smug smile.

"Swish!--" A small silver arrow was shot out before her. The silver arrow was extremely short, and even if it hit the tiger, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

"Roar—roar—", the tiger let out a loud roar, which scared away the mountain birds and attracted many hunters.

The Crown Prince and several other princes looked at the archer. Hu Yanying put down his bow and arrow, glaring and gritting his teeth, "See you, Su Yue!"

"It's me." Su Yuejian raised the corners of her eyes slightly.

Hu Yanying was about to say something else when she caught a glimpse of the tiger staring at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.

Everyone's eyes dared not waver, their hearts beating like drums, and they saw the woman in white calmly turn over and dismount. The man and the tiger were in a stalemate, and a life-and-death battle was about to break out.

The tiger's sharp eyes locked onto her, ready to pounce and tear her apart at any moment. "Roar—"

Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian exclaimed, "Princess Minghua!"
