Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 361

~ SHE’S SLIGHTLY YOUNGER ~

Mu Yunyao looked and saw that the back of her hand was completely red and swollen, and there was an eye-catching purple mark on it. Her recovery ability was already not bad. After an entire night, it no longer hurt as much, but it looked exceptionally frightening, “The medicinal ointment’s effect is not bad. It doesn’t hurt today, but it will take a few days for the bruise to disappear.”

Jin Lan sniffed the smell in the tent and felt even more pained. “Miss, you’ve never been so wronged like this!”

Mu Yunyao smiled. “It’s fine. Autumn Hunt is officially starting today, and I still want to see the opening of the deer hunt. Let’s go.”

The hunting did not require the partic.i.p.ation of all the ladies. But because of the presence of Grand Princess Yi De and the rare opportunity to show themselves off, all the young ladies were dressed in elaborate riding outfits and gathered around to watch the deer hunting at the start of the show.

On the high platform, the Emperor dressed in light armor held a longbow in hand. He had an imposing manner and looked majestic. Even though he was already old, his actions still carried a heavy pressure, especially his hawk-like eyes revealed a faint killing intent, “Today’s Autumn Hunt will be open to all officials and their children. They can show off their skill, and whoever wins the first place in the hunt, I will reward you handsomely!”

“Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!”

Hearing the deafening shouts from below, the Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. He walked down from the high platform, climbed onto his horse, and raised his longbow high up into the air. He shouted to Grand Princess Yi De, “Imperial Elder Sister, I’m going to hunt a deer. I’ll treat you a roasted deer meat when we get back!”

Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but laugh. She stood up and waved her hand at the Emperor. “Don’t try to be brave when you’re old. Give more opportunities to the children below. Pay attention to your own safety and let the guards follow you closely.”

If an ordinary person were to say this, the Emperor would definitely feel that the other person was disobedient and cursing him. However, the person who was speaking was the Grand Princess Yi De. He only thinks that the other party is worried about himself, and his heart is especially ironed: “Imperial Elder Sister, you don’t ned to worry, I have a sense of propriety.”

The Grand Princess nodded.

The Emperor reined in his horse. He then turned around, glanced at all the princes who were riding on the horses in the front row, and said, “Which of you would like to compete with me?”

“Imperial Father. Fourth Imperial Brother and I are coming with you!” Yu w.a.n.g urged his horse forward and turned to look at Yue w.a.n.g, who was at the edge. “Fourth brother, come quickly. We will be the best hunter in Today’s Auntumn Hunt, and Imperial Father will reward us in all kinds of rewards.”

“Second Imperial Brother, go ahead. I am not very good at hunting.” Yue w.a.n.g shook his head because Imperial Father wouldn’t want him to partic.i.p.ate in the event.

The Emperor looked at Yue w.a.n.g and shook the reins in his hand heavily: “Go!”

The horse’s hooves shook the skies, and the sounds of the blades and bows clanged resonated throughout the air, accompanied by loud and clear harmonizing sounds, which startled the birds in the mountains.

Mu Yunyao looked at Yue w.a.n.g from afar. In such a lively scene, he seemed to be out of place. From beginning to end, he emitted a cold aura.

Soon, the Emperor happily rode back his horse. Behind him, a guard carried a stag with lofty horns and a strong body in his hand. It died after being shot through the eye by an arrow.

The Grand Princess Yi De stood up with a smile on her face. “Today, I am truly blessed.”

After the deer hunting was over, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Some of the young ladies who were good at riding horses chose a docile mare to stroll slowly around the hunting grounds. They occasionally glanced at the location of Grand Princess Yi De, trying their best to make themselves look more graceful.

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but find it funny. She hadn’t rested well last night, and now that the sun had risen, she felt a little tired. She couldn’t help but walk towards a remote place and find a hillside to sit down.

Jin Qiao and Si Shu took a quilt and helped Mu Yunyao lay it down so that she would not be contaminated with the cold air on the ground. “This servants will guarding you. Miss, please rest for a while.”

Under the warm suns.h.i.+ne, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help covering her lips and yawning slightly. There was a bit of light in her eyes. She used her hands to support her forehead, bent her knees, and close her eyes for a moment to have a rest.

While she was still in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves nearing. She couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyes and see a tall figure coming towards her.

The person that appeared stood in front of her, immediately blocking the sunlight above her head. Mu Yunyao blinked, but before she could get used to the blinding light, she felt a cold fingertip touch her forehead, and a deep voice sounded with a smile. “Yunyao.”

As the light shone down, it created a circle around the man’s body that looked warm and harmonious.

Mu Yunyao was sleepy. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and glared at Yue w.a.n.g dissatisfiedly. “Fourth Master is not going to hunt? What are you doing here?”

“Why are you so tired? Did you not have a good rest last night?”

“Yes, my tent position is not very good, and I sleep very restlessly at night.”

Yue w.a.n.g let go of his hands and let the horse graze on its own. He then sat a little further away from Mu Yunyao on the gra.s.s, “Is it the Meng family or the Su family?”

There have always been many twists and turns in the distribution of tents on hunting grounds like this. Although Yunyao’s status wasn’t high, she was still highly valued by the Emperor. Coupled with her current prosperity, she would at least choose a slightly better tent to set up. However, if her position is not good, there must be someone in the crowd causing trouble.”

“It’s all possible.”

A cold light flashed in Yue w.a.n.g’s eyes. “Yesterday, I brought my men to the hunting grounds in advance to clean up. I just returned back to tents early in the morning, and I heard that the Meng family intentionally made things difficult for you in front of the Imperial Palace?”

He was sent to clean up the hunting ground. No wonder I didn’t see him yesterday.

Mu Yunyao had a slight smile on her face. “That’s right, it’s fortunate that I have everything prepared. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of face.”

The light in Yue w.a.n.g’s eyes was even colder. “I’ll get someone to help you change your tent. You can go back and rest first.” It was also his fault for not being considerate and paying attention to these details.

Mu Yunyao stood up. Right now, there was no need for her to try to be brave. Moreover, there was still a good show to watch in the afternoon, so she had to be full of energy no matter what.

Mu Yunyao had only taken two steps when she suddenly felt a pain in her leg. She immediately saw a silly rabbit fall into the gra.s.s. It flopped to its feet and ran to the side.

Yue w.a.n.g picked up a rock and was about to attack when he saw an arrow accurately nailing the rabbit to the ground. Immediately, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. The Second Prince, Yu w.a.n.g, turned his body on his horse, reached out to grab the rabbit, and threw it into the hands of the guards behind him.

“I saw Fourth Imperial Brother here from afar. However, I didn’t expect that Miss Mu would also be here.”

“Greetings to His Royal Highness, Yu w.a.n.g.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Why is Second Imperial Brother here? Didn’t you come to accompany Imperial Father?” When Yue w.a.n.g spoke, his tone was gentle. It was clear that he was on good terms with the Second Prince, Yu w.a.n.g.

“Imperial Father is accompanying Imperial Aunt. He said that he would be roasting deer meat in a while. I was just too bored, so I decided to hunt a few skins. When the time comes, I’ll give Imperial Aunt, Imperial Mother, and several other Imperial Sisters.”

As Yu w.a.n.g spoke, he sized up Mu Yunyao. He was well aware of his Fourth Imperial Brother’s temperament. Although he wasn’t favored as a prince, there were still people who wanted to win him over. Some of them even revealed the intent of marriage. It was a pity that this Fourth Imperial Brother had a cold personality and never got close to anyone. His life was like an ascetic monk, and this was the first time he had ever seen a girl around him. It’s just that this Miss Mu seems to be slightly younger …
