After returning, Gu Lingyue told Long Shang that Princess Yi wanted to win them over.

Long Shang snorted coldly, "Don't worry about her. Long Fu and I are the same. Father will not let us sit on the throne of the crown prince.

Long Fu thought that his father didn't know that he was forming a clique for personal gain. In fact, his father just wanted to use him to restrain the prince. His father was only forty years old and in good health. He would not let the prince's family dominate the market and undermine his power.

Now that the crown prince has fallen, the most likely person to take the blame is Long Jun. After all, it was Long Xian who fell, so the Shen family is safe, and the queen's power is still there."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue looked at Long Shang with a complicated expression.

People say that Emperor Tianqi doted on him, but why didn't he ever think of letting him sit on the throne?

Although she thought this was fine and she had never thought of him becoming emperor, she still felt a little sorry for him.

Looking at Gu Lingyue, whose eyes were full of pity for him, Long Shang felt extremely soft in his heart.

He stood up and took Gu Lingyue into his arms, saying in a low voice, "Don't be sad for me. It's not worth it. I don't need him to give me what I want. I can get it myself."

Gu Lingyue didn't understand what Long Shang meant by "not worth it". Was it that he didn't deserve sympathy, or that his father's favor for him was not worth the grievance? However, she didn't think about it anymore. As long as others didn't cause trouble for them, they could fight as much as they wanted, it was none of their business.

How could she know at this moment that it was not a question of whether Long Shang wanted to fight or not, but the blood feud on his body would not allow him to act arbitrarily.

When Long Shang saw that Gu Lingyue didn't push him away, he felt completely at ease.

It seems that Yue'er already has him in her heart, but she hasn't realized it yet. It doesn't matter. He has plenty of time to wait and will definitely wait until the day she completely accepts him.

At this time, Gu Lingyue remembered what Princess Ping said about the prize.

She pushed Long Shang aside and looked at him, her expression serious: "If I want to say that I want to join the hunt tomorrow, you don't object, right?"

Long Shang nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Do you agree to let me go to the hunting ground tomorrow?" Gu Lingyue looked doubtful.

Long Shang rubbed Gu Lingyue's head with his hand and said lovingly, "I guessed you would go in before I came here, so I will go in with you tomorrow."

"..."

Okay, you're awesome.

Because there were many people coming this time, they were divided into two tents. Originally, Gu Lingyue planned to live in the same tent with Yun Jin and Yun Shu, but Long Shang reminded them that if they separated, people would misunderstand that they were not in love.

Gu Lingyue thought that she was going to give herself and him a chance anyway, so she agreed to Long Shang's proposal and the two of them lived together.

That night, Gu Lingyue slept soundly, while Long Shang suffered.

His beloved was by his side, but he could see her but couldn't eat. The torment was beyond words. But he had to go hunting the next day, and even if he wanted to do something, it couldn't be at this time, so he had to endure the torment happily.

The next morning, after breakfast, Long Shang asked Yun Jin to take out the riding clothes and jewelry prepared for Gu Lingyue. The clothes were a red suit with red peonies embroidered on it with gold thread, and the jewelry was a headband made of red coral with a sapphire inlaid on it. Gu Lingyue liked the clothes and headband as soon as she saw them.

"You had someone do it?"

Looking at the surprise in Gu Lingyue's eyes, Long Shang knew that he had done the right thing.

He smiled and nodded, "Try it on."

"it is good."

Gu Lingyue picked up her clothes and went behind the partition to change, and Yun Jin hurried to help.

Soon, a heroic female hero walked out from behind the partition, and Long Shang stared at her with his eyes wide open.

As expected, his guess was right. This suit suited her very well. She was already beautiful, and this suit made her look even more heroic. She exuded a sense of dominance and was breathtakingly beautiful. He suddenly wanted to hide her and didn't want others to see her beauty.

"Yue'er, you are so beautiful."

Gu Lingyue was delighted to hear Long Shang praising her like this, and she praised him casually, "You are very handsome too!"

Long Shang raised the corner of his mouth slightly. His Yue'er praised him for his good looks.

Gu Lingyue asked Yun Jin to stay and look after the tent. She pushed Long Shang and took Yun Shu and Yun Hao to the place where the terrace was built.

Emperor Tianqi, the Empress and others were already sitting on the terrace. Ministers and their wives who were not participating in the hunt were sitting in the front row. Those who were participating in the hunt were all riding on horseback, waiting in the distance.

When everyone saw Gu Lingyue pushing Long Shang over, some looked at them with surprise, some with contempt, and of course some with jealousy and hatred.

Bai Qimeng saw Long Shang coming, and her eyes were almost glued to him. When she saw Gu Lingyue in riding clothes behind Long Shang, her face darkened. "What is she doing? Is she going hunting?"

Xie Yuhan sneered, "How funny! A fool is going hunting! She's not going hunting, she's going to die."

"Keep your voice down, or someone might hear you." Xie Yuhan's father Xie Zeqiu scolded.

Chang Xinshan saw Gu Lingyue coming over and wanted to go find her, but she heard Xie Yuhan scolding her. She stopped and looked at Xie Yuhan unkindly, "If you can't speak, just shut up, so you don't spit it out and irritate others."

"You..." When Xie Yuhan was about to say something angrily, her father glared at her, so she had to shut up obediently.

Chang Xinshan was also called back by her mother.

Long Shang was stared at by Bai Qimeng's burning gaze, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura. He looked at Bai Qimeng sinisterly. Bai Qimeng was so scared that she quickly looked away.

Gu Lingyue also noticed the look Bai Qimeng gave Long Shang.

Thinking of what Chang Xinshan said to her, she whispered affirmatively: "She likes you?"

Long Shang retracted his gaze and sighed helplessly, "Yue'er, don't push all the cats and dogs onto your husband."

Gu Lingyue looked at the top of his head, curled her lips, and said nothing more.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi looked at Gu Lingyue and said with a smile: "Girl Yue, are you going to go on stage in your riding clothes?"

Gu Lingyue released the hand that was pushing Long Shang and bowed to Emperor Tianqi. "Father, when I was playing mahjong with my sisters-in-law and brothers yesterday, my fifth sister-in-law mentioned that there was a prize for today's hunt. I also want to take part in the prize, but my prince is ill and can't play, so I wanted to try my hand."

"Hahaha~" As soon as Gu Lingyue's voice fell, Emperor Tianqi laughed, "As expected of the granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, she is quite courageous!"

After saying that, he looked at Long Shang and said, "Fourth Brother, are you really confident in letting your wife enter the venue?"

Gu Lingyue complained in her heart, what an old fox, his question seemed to be an attempt to shirk responsibility, but fortunately she was confident.

Long Shang said affirmatively: "I will send someone to follow her."

Emperor Tianqi nodded in satisfaction, "I approve."

Gu Lingyue: "Thank you, Father."

Gu Shuo on the side frowned and looked at Gu Lingyue with disapproval.

The Gu family had been in trouble one after another during this period, and it had become a topic of conversation among people in the capital.

At this point, nothing could happen to their Gu family.

The queen on the terrace looked at Gu Lingyue viciously: Bitch, you'd better die in there, otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi asked, "Yue girl, you don't have a horse, right? I'll have someone bring one over."

"No need." Long Shang said, looking at the team preparing to enter the hunting field not far away.

At this time, Yun Hao and Yun Shu were already waiting there, and Yun Hao was holding two horses in his hands.

Emperor Tianqi recognized it at a glance; it was a Ferghana horse.

He snorted in his heart, you little bastard, your wife is still closer to you.

Feeling a bit jealous, he said, "Since everyone is ready, let's go. This year's prize is still the same: whoever comes first can make a request to me."

After saying this, he paused and looked at the people below, "I hope everyone enjoys this year's hunt!"

At the order of Emperor Tianqi, everyone entered the hunting ground.

Gu Lingyue also came to Yun Hao, took the reins from his hand, jumped on the horse and headed towards the hunting ground. Yun Hao and Yun Shu also quickly got on their horses and followed.

As soon as he left the sight of Emperor Tianqi and others, Long Jun and his men on horseback blocked Gu Lingyue's way.

He looked at Gu Lingyue with disdain, "What are you trying to do?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Lingyue said in annoyance.

Long Jun was annoyed by Gu Lingyue's attitude. When he rode his horse forward, he was stopped by Yun Hao. "Prince Xing, please respect yourself."

Long Jun glared at Yun Hao angrily, "Do you think you can just protect her? She's nothing but a piece of crap, a piece of trash. You think you can win the prize just by relying on her? Dream on."

"Puff!" As soon as he finished speaking, before Yun Shu could start cursing, he was knocked off his horse by Yun Hao's palm. Fortunately, Qingshan caught him quickly.
