"Hey, I won."

As Yu Guiwan finished speaking, a crisp sound followed on the chessboard.

"Yes, you win." Xie Sui glanced at the chess board and smiled indulgently.

Yu Guiwan propped up her head and looked at him, and suddenly pointed out, "Your Highness, if your mind is not on the chess game, you will lose to me." From beginning to end, Xie Sui's eyes fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, and his mind was not on the game at all.

She is not a fool, anyone with a discerning eye can see that.

Xie Sui paused, then made up a far-fetched excuse, saying, "My skills are inferior to others."

If Xie Sui was this humble, then she would not be able to find many people more capable than Xie Sui.

"Let's play another game. Your Highness, please don't be distracted." Yu Guiwan suddenly felt the desire to win and picked up the chess pieces on the board.

Xie Sui smiled and nodded. At this moment, Bei Chu's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Highness, there's news from Chenxiang Temple."

Suddenly, the corners of Xie Sui's mouth drooped, "Come in."

After Bei Chu came in, he didn't dare to look at Xie Sui's expression. He said to Yu Guiwan, "Your Highness, Princess, there's news from Chenxiang Temple that Princess Roujia is returning to the capital with Princess Yong'an."

"According to the spies, Princess Yong'an was ill, so the eldest princess took the initiative to bring Princess Yong'an back."

"Are we going to stop Princess Yong'an?" Bei Chu asked in a low voice.

Xie Sui didn't say anything. He first looked at Yu Guiwan and asked for her opinion, "Do you think we should stop it?"

Yu Guiwan widened her eyes slightly and looked at Xie Sui's expression, as if as long as she said no, Xie Sui would send someone to stop Xie Zhiyi.

She held a chess piece in her hand and rubbed it for a long time before she slowly said, "Since the princess is ill, it's not easy for us to stop her. If something happens to her, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

"Yes."

After receiving the instructions, Bei Chu immediately retreated, fearing that if he stayed any longer, the prince's eyes would kill him.

Bei Chu had just left the house when Pei Jin came over in a hurry. Before Bei Chu could stop him, Pei Jin had already rushed into the tea room.

Young Marquis Pei, you'll be in good hands.

Bei Chu held his forehead with his hand and observed a moment of silence for Pei Jin, then quickly walked away from this place.

After Pei Jin rushed in, he discovered that Xie Sui was not the only one in the tea room. Yu Guiwan was also sitting on the other side.

Xie Sui looked at Pei Jin who suddenly came in, his face darkened to the extreme, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"..."

Seeing Xie Sui's expression, Pei Jin reacted immediately, thinking about what kind of excuse he could come up with to avoid this disaster.

"I, I came to ask you if you want to go with me since there will be a spring festival in a few days." Pei Jin spoke faster than his brain, and he blurted out the answer without having time to think carefully.

A smile appeared on Xie Sui's lips, and gradually, Pei Jin felt that the smile had changed.

"What do you think?" Xie Sui asked with a wry smile.

Damn, this stupid brain.

Forget that Xie Sui's body couldn't handle this kind of activity.

Pei Jin cursed herself inwardly.

"I think it's great. Even if you don't go hunting, you can still accompany the princess. The princess must want to go, right?" As he said that, Pei Jin looked at Yu Guiwan, clasped his hands together and looked at her pleadingly.

Yu Guiwan chuckled twice before saying, "I really want to go. Your Highness, why don't you come with me?"

Xie Sui probably hasn't been hunting before, so it would be nice to go and see it in person.

"it is good."

With Yu Guiwan speaking up, Xie Sui agreed without even thinking.

Seeing that he had escaped danger, Pei Jin gave Yu Guiwan a grateful look.

Five days later, spring collection.

Yu Guiwan changed into a neat outfit today, without even wearing a pearl hairpin. Her long hair was simply tied into a high ponytail with a hairband, and she looked very heroic.

When the two arrived in the carriage, quite a few people were already there.

The most eye-catching one among them was Xie Zhiyi, who was dressed in red. He was chatting and laughing with people in the crowd and didn't look sick at all.

"Meet the Emperor's uncle and aunt."

Xie Zhiyi immediately saluted when he saw the two of them, and asked with a smile: "The emperor's uncle has never come to the hunting in previous years. Why is he suddenly interested this year?" He did not mention Yu Guiwan at all in his words, as if he did it on purpose.

The others were also very curious. In previous years, His Royal Highness Prince Chen never appeared in such occasions, but when they saw Yu Guiwan next to Xie Sui, they understood.

"Princess Yong'an, I'm afraid you've forgotten that I'm still in Prince Chen's Mansion."

Yu Guiwan raised her eyebrows and smiled, meeting Xie Zhiyi's eyes, and directly saw through her thoughts.

"I heard that the princess returned to the capital with an illness. Now that she has recovered, she comes to participate in the Spring Festival? You must take care of yourself." Yu Guiwan suddenly said, with a concerned look on his face.

Xie Zhiyi's expression froze, but he quickly returned to his usual arrogance, challenging her: "Of course it's almost healed. Today, I won't give in to Auntie Huang."

All the people who came to participate in the Spring Collection today were men. The only women were her and Yu Guiwan. In previous years, she was the only woman, so she especially wanted to surpass Yu Guiwan.

"Then let's wait and see." Yu Guiwan still looked at her with a smile, his expression did not change much.

Most of the people who came today were acquaintances, even Shen Yunmiao came, but Xie Yunqi did not bring Fu Yan with him.

Xie Xu didn't seem to have expected Xie Sui to come. He looked a little surprised, but in his heart he was happy for him. "You're feeling much better now, and the weather is getting warmer. It would be good for you to go out for a walk more often."

"Your Majesty is right." Xie Sui bowed.

Because Xie Sui was there, Xie Xu was particularly happy. He waved his hand and said, "Whoever wins the first place today, feel free to ask me for anything you want."

"I won't be polite there!" Xie Yunqi was determined to win. He asked someone to bring his bow and arrow, turned around and mounted his horse, and said to the people behind him: "I'll go ahead!"

Soon after, many noble children followed.

Yu Guiwan also asked someone to fetch a bow and arrow. Xie Sui looked at her and said with a worried look on his face, "Be careful."

"I will." Yu Guiwan jumped onto the horse, and with a shout of "Gee!", Yu Guiwan rushed out on his horse.

the other side.

"Be careful and don't get hurt." The queen sighed slowly and reminded Xie Zhiyi.

"I understand, mother. It's too late. I'll leave first." Xie Zhiyi looked at where Yu Guiwan was and found that she had already set off. She quickly took her bow and arrow and mounted her horse, not caring about the person behind her talking to her.

In a flash, Xie Zhiyi's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Queen looked at Xie Xu helplessly, and said with a worried look on her face, "Your Majesty, you are too pampering to Yong'an. How can a woman show her face in public and compete with a group of men?"
