Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

After Gu Yanli became the crown prince, he followed Emperor Chengping to learn how to handle various affairs.

Although most of the tasks were similar to those he had done as prime minister in his previous life, the workload was still quite heavy.

Therefore, he never had time to visit Lin Shuwan, and could only rely on sending letters or rare trinkets to prevent Lin Shuwan from forgetting about him.

Therefore, he was deeply sorrowful.

Emperor Chengping was overjoyed, for his crown prince was exceptionally intelligent and could grasp many political matters at a glance.

No matter what kind of memorial it was, he could handle it exceptionally well, which greatly reduced Emperor Chengping's workload.

Aside from being somewhat inexperienced in the art of managing and controlling people, he is a natural-born emperor.

This resulted in Gu Yanli having to handle an increasing number of official matters every day.

Only after Gu Yanli's strong insistence was he granted a five-day holiday in January.

The bitterness of this situation is best left unmentioned.

The autumn hunt originally served as a military review ceremony, a comprehensive exercise for training troops.

Later, because a certain emperor was fond of hunting and enjoyed chasing wild animals, it gradually developed into the autumn hunt we know today.

The event lasted from one day to five days, and was usually held in the mountains and forests outside the capital. All kinds of people, including kings, nobles and generals, were invited to participate.

When the emperor fires the first arrow, signaling the start of the autumn hunt, the young men can then take up their bows and arrows, ride their horses, and hunt wild animals in the forest.

This move serves two purposes: firstly, it demonstrates to the emperor the abundance of talented individuals in our dynasty.

Secondly, it allows the female relatives who are watching to admire her beauty, so that they can marry her in the future.

The bonfire celebration at night was even more lively and festive.

Fine wine and game, singing and dancing.

It is a rare grand event held only once every two years.

The day was sunny, and Lin Shuwan, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and carrying a longbow, attracted the attention of many people as soon as he came out.

Most noble ladies were both envious and jealous.

He admired Lin Shuwan's superb horsemanship and archery skills, and his freedom to hunt in the forest at will.

They were also jealous of her outstanding appearance and face, which attracted the attention of many young men.

However, they were really overthinking it.

When Lin Shuwan first participated in the autumn hunt, those young masters still had the leisure to admire her beauty.

When she realized she had caught more prey than the average man, she stopped laughing.

Not to mention, during the last autumn hunt, she actually brought back a bear all by herself!

It is about the size of two adult men.

In comparison, if they only bring back a few rabbits, what will become of their dignity as men?

Therefore, when they see Lin Shuwan now, all they feel is a sense of urgency.

They all strained to get into the woods.

Even if the quality of the prey is not as good as Lin Shuwan's, at least the quantity cannot be too much worse!

Gu Yanli, also dressed in a smart outfit, sat on his horse, and his demeanor attracted the attention of many people.

However, his gaze was fixed on Lin Shuwan over there.

But this heartless woman didn't even glance in his direction!

Even though he couldn't hear her thoughts because of the distance, he could guess that she was eager to go into the woods and show off her skills.

If it weren't for the fact that the first arrow of each autumn hunt had to be shot by the emperor of each dynasty, she probably would have loved to do it for Emperor Chengping!

Thinking this, Emperor Chengping's first arrow successfully pierced the fleeing prey.

As Gu Yanli had predicted, after everyone finished offering their congratulations, Emperor Chengping had just given the order for free movement when Lin Shuwan's horse was the first to gallop off.

Gu Yanli was both annoyed and amused. He was just about to turn back to the camp to wait when he saw Lin Shuwan suddenly turn around and run towards him out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Yanli's pupils dilated and his heart raced as he watched her gradually approach him against the light.

As they approached Gu Yanli, Lin Shuwan stopped her horse: "Would you like to go hunting with me?"

After asking, Lin Shuwan wrinkled her nose, turned her head to the side, and said with a wandering gaze, "Don't misunderstand, I just need someone to help me catch the prey."

(If it weren't for the fact that he was all alone here, looking rather pitiful, I wouldn't have bothered asking.)

Gu Yanli's eyes were filled with a smile, but after thinking for a moment, he still refused: "I won't go. I'm not good at riding, and I can't shoot arrows. I'm afraid that if I come along, I'll spoil your mood."

He can manage simple horseback riding, but he really can't hunt.

Back when she was at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, I heard her looking forward to the autumn hunt every day.

It's a rare opportunity to have some fun, but if he comes along, she'll have to take care of him instead.

Well, at least she turned around and came to him; he was already extremely satisfied.

“What’s so difficult about it for a group of people?” Lin Shuwan murmured softly, but didn’t insist. “Alright, I’m leaving then.”

"Okay, stay safe."

Gu Yanli's dark eyes were fixed on Lin Shuwan, making her blush with embarrassment.

Lin Shuwan pretended to tidy her stray hairs and said nonchalantly, "Well then, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

The BMW, which had been eager to speed away, was pulled back to a stop by its owner after only a couple of steps, and the owner angrily snorted twice.

But the owner ignored its current agitation and instead turned to ask:

"By the way, do you like foxes? I heard that a few white foxes were released during the autumn hunt this year. If you want one, I can try to hunt one more for you."

Lin Shuwan's expression was smug and arrogant, yet it seemed to conceal a hint of unease.

Gu Yanli's mood at this moment was like that of a beautiful flower in full bloom, or like that of a magnificent summer sunset he had stumbled upon on a journey; his heart was overflowing with joy.

"it is good."

Lin Shuwan then seemingly calmly gripped the reins and galloped away.

But her last few words revealed her true feelings completely.

(Lin Shuwan, Lin Shuwan, he can't even be your son-in-law anymore, why are you still running over here so eagerly?)

(He's the crown prince now, why would he need your white fox?)

(Utterly useless, so utterly useless!)

Gu Yanli listened to Lin Shuwan's heartfelt words with great pleasure.

However, he felt a little more disgusted with his status as the crown prince.

Not only was it tiring and he had a lot of work to do, it also delayed his becoming a son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Perhaps he should find a time as soon as possible to have Emperor Chengping depose him as crown prince.

Emperor Chengping, watching from afar, had also witnessed the entire conversation between his son and Lin Shuwan, and remarked with a hint of disdain:

“I told him to come to the autumn hunt and take a look at the other noble ladies, but he just kept staring at that girl from the Lin family. Even after she left, he couldn’t bring himself to come back to reality.”

Ma Lugui carefully observed Emperor Chengping's expression and said, "It seems that the Crown Prince and the Emperor are both people who are deeply affectionate."

Emperor Chengping then laughed loudly and said, "Very well, after we return, I will bestow a marriage upon the two of them."

"Your Majesty is wise," Ma Lugui said.

Jiang Yiheng, who had originally intended to invite Lin Shuwan to accompany him, stopped his horse and forced himself to watch this glaring scene.

Seeing the two chatting and laughing, his jaw tightened, and his pupils churned with intense emotions.

He has found out that, for some reason, the Gu poison had been used in the wrong way, and there is no cure for it.

There was no other way but to kill Li Min to vent my anger.

Now that Wanwan has no feelings for him, it is he who cannot let her go.

If that's the case, then he wants the dragon throne;

He wants it too, Wanwan!
