Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

Jiang Xi's archery skills were taught by Jiang Ji.

While not exactly good, he wasn't exactly a liability to the team either.

She's only slightly better than Xie Sichun, and far inferior to Yan Zijin.

The three spurred their horses and soon arrived deep in the dense forest.

Jiang Xi spotted a little white rabbit eating grass and raised his bow to shoot it.

To everyone's surprise, the timid white rabbit seemed to sense something, turned its head to look in their direction, and then ran away quickly.

"call out!"

A long arrow pierced the wind and struck the running white rabbit with precision.

Jiang Xi turned his head and saw that the archer was none other than Yan Zijin, who was on his team.

"Wow, you're so amazing!"

Jiang Xi praised him sincerely, but also found it unbelievable.

"I still remember how frail and unlucky you were when you were little. You've changed so much since you grew up!"

Yan Zijin put away his bow and arrows and smiled slightly, "It's just the Six Arts of a Gentleman, nothing special!"

Xie Sichun had already dismounted and picked up the white rabbit with the arrow stuck in it.

"Ah Xi, you don't know this yet, do you? Scholar Yan is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and is the dream husband of many young women in the capital."

Yan Zijin quickly clarified: "Miss Xie is exaggerating. I am still unmarried!"

Xie Sichun is a clever and quick-witted person. When she saw Yan Zijin say these words, she unconsciously looked at Jiang Xi beside her.

Judging from the way he lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and smiled, this person was probably interested in Jiang Xi.

"Hey, Ah Xi, I remember you're not married yet, right?" Xie Sichun asked deliberately.

Jiang Xi knew, of course, that Xie Sichun wanted to arrange a marriage here, but she was currently just a maidservant by Huo Jingxuan's side.

Although she had met Yan Zijin once when they were children, he was unaware of her true identity, so how could he possibly be interested in her?

"Really? May I ask where Miss A-Xi is now?" Yan Zijin actually followed up on Xie Sichun's words and asked further.

Jiang Xi was stunned. What exactly did Yan Zijin mean?

"She is now my personal maid. What, Scholar Yan, are you interested in her?"

Just as Jiang Xi was filled with surprise and doubt, a voice as cold and clear as ice and snow came.

Everyone turned to look, and there stood the Regent Huo Jingxuan, who was riding up on horseback.

Yang Xuerou and Wang Yu'an were also with him on either side.

"I've met the prince!"

Everyone dismounted and bowed.

"Isn't Ah Xi a member of the Yang family?" Now it was Yan Zijin's turn to be surprised.

He had always thought that Jiang Xi was either a young lady from the Yang family or a maid from the Yang family.

"Ha!" Yang Xuerou sneered, "My Yang family can't raise such a shameless person!"

Just as Jiang Xi was about to retort, she saw Yan Zijin turn to look at Yang Xuerou on horseback with a sharp gaze.

"A young woman's innocence is of utmost importance. Miss Yang says that Ah Xi is shameless, but do you have any evidence?"

Yang Xuerou glanced at Huo Jingxuan guiltily, naturally not daring to reveal in public that Huo Jingxuan had been defiled by Jiang Xi.

This is because it not only affects Huo Jingxuan's reputation, but also makes her, the future princess, a laughing stock.

Therefore, even if she was angry, she could only swallow her anger.

But she remained silent, while Yan Zijin had something to say: "Since Miss Yang has no evidence, it's not good to slander someone's innocence with baseless accusations. She should apologize to Ah Xi instead!"

Yang Xuerou angrily flung her sleeve: "You want me to apologize to her? She's just a servant!"

"Do you think you can just slander a servant like this?"

Yan Zijin argued forcefully: "No law in the Great Yu Dynasty stipulates that a person's innocence can be determined by a single word from their master!"

Besides, Miss Yang hasn't married into the Regent's Palace yet, so she can't be considered Miss A-Xi's mistress, can she?

"You..." Yan Zijin's remarks in front of everyone were really embarrassing for Yang Xuerou.

Yang Xuerou's face turned pale and then flushed, but she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal. She could only look to Huo Jingxuan beside her for help.

As long as Huo Jingxuan says even a single word in her defense, no one will dare to make things difficult for her, no matter how reasonable Yan Zijin's words are.

However, Huo Jingxuan remained silent for a long time, and even his gaze only passed over everyone else and landed on Jiang Xi's face.

If it weren't for the fact that someone else was watching, they would have been able to discern some clues between the two.

Yang Xuerou was both anxious and angry, and her jealousy grew wildly.

She is now just a fallen princess, and she can't even show her identity to the public.

What makes her still able to attract Huo Jingxuan's attention?

Why should they be able to take her place?

Just then, a beautiful elk leaped across the distant forest.

"Wow, a sika deer!" Xie Sichun exclaimed.

Sika deer are beautiful in appearance and agile in movement, making them a sought-after target for hunting every year.

The one who hunts the most will receive a prize added by Lady Wang.

"Miss Ah Xi, do you want that set of jewelry? I'll get it for you!"

As Yan Zijin spoke, he glanced at Jiang Xi, who remained silent. He then spurred his horse to chase after the deer.

"Your Highness, Xue Rou wants one too!"

Yang Xuerou turned to look at Huo Jingxuan beside her, intending to have Huo Jingxuan compete with Yan Zijin.

Jiang Xi saw Yan Zijin draw his bow and arrow, preparing to shoot the deer.

Just then, an arrow flew from the side, and it was Wang Yu'an who had also set his sights on the deer and was preparing to snatch it from Yan Zijin.

"Scholar Yan, be careful!" Jiang Xi couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Zijin turned his head and saw an arrow aimed directly at his head, which startled him so much that he quickly bent over.

He ducked to avoid the arrow.

"Young Master Wang, are you shooting a man or a deer?" Jiang Xi was furious!

As they were talking, the deer sensed the danger and ran into the depths of the forest.

Wang Yu'an said with a self-satisfied expression, "Sorry, my hand slipped. But I didn't expect Miss A-Xi to care so much about Scholar Yan. Could it be that you have feelings for Scholar Yan..."

Although Wang Yu'an didn't say what he was going to say, everyone present understood!

Huo Jingxuan's face immediately turned cold, and he raised an eyebrow at Yan Zijin: "How about I have a match with Scholar Yan and we'll see who comes out on top today!"

"It's rare for Your Highness to be in such a good mood, so I'll accompany you for a practice session!"

Yan Zijin actually accepted Huo Jingxuan's challenge.

"Giddy up!" The two spurred their horses and chased after the direction in which the deer had disappeared.

Once Huo Jingxuan left, the others naturally followed.

Yang Xuerou and Wang Yu'an were both good riders, and Jiang Xi and Xie Sichun were quickly left behind.

"I can't take it anymore, I really don't have any strength left. Ah-Xi, you go after them, I'll wait for you to come back here!"

Xie Sichun dismounted from the bumpy horse, put her hands on her hips, and said breathlessly.

Jiang Xi was in a dilemma. Since it was a team effort, she couldn't just leave Yan Zijin to fight alone, could she?

Are you sure you're okay on your own?
