When she took the hairpin handed to her by the palace maid, her eyelids trembled.

In her previous life, as Gu Shicheng's princess consort, she also received a hairpin from the queen. At that time, the queen gave her a pair of hairpins, and the queen wished her and the prince to be together forever.

What she was holding in her hand now was a jade hairpin with a honeysuckle-shaped head.

After accepting the hairpin, the queen smiled at her gently, making her feel a little at a loss.

Looking at the second prince again, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he smiled in an instant.

After waiting for a long time, the queen did not give Qi Didi anything.

She remembered that in her previous life she was the only woman to receive the Queen's reward.

Qi Didi also did not receive any gifts.

She looked at the honeysuckle hairpin in her hand and felt uneasy.

The twin-petal hairpins from the previous life and the honeysuckle hairpins in this life could not have appeared out of thin air.

Then it could only be something the Queen prepared in advance.

She guessed that the queen originally wanted to win her over?

To be precise, it should be the Helan Mansion. The Helan Mansion behind her is indeed coveted, and it controls three military orders and three armies.

Not only did the second prince want to win her over, but even the queen gave up her face for the third prince.

In her previous life, Gu Shicheng smashed her hairpin and threatened her not to have any contact with the queen, otherwise he would kill her.

It turned out that at that time, Gu Shicheng had already chosen the second prince, no, it should be said that he chose Qi Didi.

Looking at Gu Shicheng who was leisurely drinking across from him, and Qi Didi who was lowering her head, angry but unable to speak, full of grievances.

She had a plan in mind, she couldn't let Gu Shicheng get the beauty so easily.

After the emperor passed away, An Ran lived far away at the border with his beauties and gave birth to a bunch of children.

She was not so kind, she had to drag Gu Shicheng into this quagmire as well.

When Gu Shicheng saw Helan Xuenuo giving him an ambiguous smile, he felt his heart beating uneasy. This uneasiness rushed to his eyebrows, and his eyebrows and eyes also began to twitch. He pressed them with his hands.

Qi Didi beside him asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

"fine."

Qi Didi felt a little sad when she received Gu Shicheng's cold reply. She didn't know when Gu Shicheng started to change. Originally, she was indebted to him for saving her life, and Gu Shicheng really cared about her and gave her dignity in front of others. But after that incident, he and she seemed to be separated, and their two hearts could never collide again.

She had her own great cause in mind, and she was unwilling to spend the rest of her life with Gu Shicheng. Even if she became a vassal king, so what? She didn't want to live in a harsh environment at the border.

Looking at the way people around her looked at her today, they all looked at her with such contempt.

Like what a lowly, filthy thing she is.

She wasn't born to be lowly, and she wanted to change.

As she was thinking, Gu Shicheng held her hand and opened her palm. She then discovered that her palm had been scratched with blood by her fingernails.

Feeling Gu Shicheng's thick palm, she thought that the prince must still love her. She tried to shake his hand back, but Gu Shicheng withdrew his hand.

Helan Xuenuo looked at their shaking hands, which then loosened. Qi Didi blushed and lowered her head, with tears in her eyes.

She not only felt that Gu Shicheng really loved Qi Didi, but also that even though Qi Didi was such a shameful person, he still held her hand in front of the public and gave her support.

In his previous life, he was so disgusted that he didn't want to touch her.

If she even touched the corner of his clothes, he would burn it or throw it away.

hateful.

Helan Xuenuo gritted her teeth and rubbed the venison on the plate with chopsticks, kneading it into a paste.

"Nuonuo, don't you like venison?" Old Madam Helan asked her in a low voice. She saw Helan Xuenuo rubbing the venison on the plate with both hands, and her face was very unhappy.

"No...no." Helan Xuenuo smiled awkwardly and put the mushy venison on the plate into her mouth. "It's easier to swallow if it's more mushy."

"Nuonuo, look quickly." Helan Xuenuo followed the gaze of Old Madam Helan and saw a guard holding a brown wooden tray with a bow on it. It was obvious that the bow was no ordinary thing just by taking a glance from a distance.

The emperor smiled majestically and said, "Everyone, today I have invested a huge amount of money and will give out the Western King Bow as a reward. The winner will get it. This competition will last for three days, so everyone must work hard!"

"King of the West Bow?" Helan Xuenuo was very interested.

The West King Bow was forged by the ancient king, the West King, using the blood and bones of ancient beasts, as well as river fish glue.

It was once said that whoever obtained this bow would rule the world.

However, this bow has been wandering for thousands of years, from one royal family to another, and has long been no longer feared by people, and the rumors about it have become unimportant.

In the previous life, this bow was won by Gu Shicheng, and the next day this bow appeared in Qi Didi's hands.

The fatal arrow that killed the third prince was shot from this bow.

Helan Xuenuo looked in the direction of Gu Shicheng, and Qi Didi's eyes were fixed on the West King Bow, with desire in her eyes.

She watched from afar as Gu Shicheng moved his lips and said something, and Qi Didi nodded with emotion.

There is no need to guess, Gu Shicheng must want to win this bow and give it to Qi Didi.

"Haha," she laughed dryly. Originally, she wasn't interested in the bow, but seeing that Gu Shicheng and Qi Didi also wanted it, she had no choice but to fight for it.

With the sound of a whistle, the autumn hunting competition officially began.

Helan Xuenuo felt very hot in her heart when she saw everyone dispersing in high spirits.

Yuan Xu waited for her in front slowly, looking back at her from time to time.

When Helan Xuenuo and the others approached him, he turned around and bowed to the old Helan generals.

"Xu'er, are you here to see Nuonuo?" The old lady couldn't hide her happiness.

Yuan Xu's father and mother were also looking at them.

Madam Yuan took Madam Helan's hand and said with a smile, "We are all old now. It has been a long time since we last reminisced about the past. Let the young people have fun on their own."

"Okay." Old Madam Helan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Looking at Madam Yuan and General Yuan again, they nodded and smiled at Helan Xuenuo with satisfaction, as if Helan Xuenuo had already married into their family and become their daughter-in-law.

General Helan was about to leave with the three of them when Helan Xuenuo reminded him from behind, "Dad, remember what you promised. Today you must hunt more ferocious beasts, preferably bears or leopards."

"Hahahaha, how could Daddy forget? When Daddy hunts more, I'll give them all to you."

Madam Yuan smiled gently and said, "Don't worry about Nuonuo. Your uncle and aunt will help you hunt more and keep your name on the list." Her eyes lit up, "My Xu'er is a very skilled archer. Go with him and let him help you more. We are all family."

Madam Yuan's enthusiasm made Helan Xuenuo a little overwhelmed. She only responded with a smile, her face frozen.

Yuan Xu glanced at his father and mother with disdain, "Alright, go ahead."

Madam Yuan teased Madam Helan and said, "Look, this child is still embarrassed."

After the four of them left, Helan Xuenuo and Yuan Xu felt much more at ease.

Yuan Xu blushed and lowered his head, "They just love to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Helan Xuenuo smiled and raised an eyebrow at him, quite mischievously, "I understand, we've all been there."

"Know what?"

"Yaniang is really good-looking."

"Why mention Ya Niang for no reason?" Yuan Xu was a little confused. He didn't quite understand the meaning behind Helan Xuenuo's words.

Helan Xuenuo smiled mischievously, "Alright, I know you're shy, but...any prey you hunt today will belong to me!"

"why?"

Helan Xuenuo's face turned fiercer, "Give it to me or not?"

"Here, it's all yours. You want to win the championship?"

Helan Xuenuo nodded, raised a finger and said, "There is no equal in this world for a gentleman, and there is only one precious bow."
